BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Not True
The woman accused of having an affair with Bruce Springsteen is speaking out.
Forty-four-year-old Ann Kelly, through her attorney, denies allegations made by her estranged husband, Arthur Kelly, that she's been involved with Springsteen.
Ann's father, Stephen Carton, a divorce attorney, says his son-in-law is dragging Springsteen and his daughter "into the gutter," adding that his daughter and Springsteen were just friends. "My son-in-law and his attorney are just seeking sensationalism. They are dredging up mud that doesn't exist... My daughter is guilty only of working out in the same gym as Bruce Springsteen and of talking to him."
Guns N' Roses mainman Axl Rose may have spent 15 years fine tuning the 14 tracks on "Chinese Democracy," but it only took five months for the entire album to make its way into the "Rock Band" video game franchise.
"Chinese Democracy" will be released in its entirety into the Rock Band Music Store on April 14 and gamers will be able to download and play all 13 songs from the record. "Shackler's Revenge," the first track to emerge from the album, made its debut in the "Rock Band 2" release.
Gamers who use the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 gaming systems will be able to purchase the entire album and individual tracks, while Nintendo Wii players can only buy the tracks individually
Today's "Well Duh" report comes from Billboard.biz. Apparently Apple and the labels are finding out the hard way that raising prices leads to a drop in sales. A lesson Apple learned the hard way years ago with the Mac but must have forgotten when they agreed to a 30% hike in the prices of the most popular iTunes. Billboard says "Two days after the Apple iTunes Music Store raised prices on some individual tracks, there was evidence the increases have hurt the sales rankings of songs given the higher $1.29 price."
