- TimbalandW is turning his attention from the music business to the movies–he’s working with another outfit to co-produce a film called Vinyl, which is, surprise, about a band. So, let’s see if we can figure this out–he’ll make the movie a big success, then take all the stars from the movie and produce films for them that will make them big successes, and then he’ll mix and match them with other stars to make even more successful movies–any questions?
- Kanye WestW talked to People magazine on the anniversary of his mom Donda West’s death, and told them that he feels responsible for what happened to her, explaining, "I feel like I moved to California, and then my mom [did too], and she did stuff she wouldn’t have done if we’d stayed in Chicago." I rarely dispense advice, but maybe some is in order here: dude, all you’re responsible for is what you do with the life you have now that she’s gone–if what you do and who you are can honor what she saw in you, not only will she live on, but she’ll live in you…

Personally, the only thing she really needs to answer is how she learned to behave like such a grown-up in a town so full of overgrown babies…- A former executive producer of American Idol isn’t a fan of the new season’s plans to include a fourth judge–songwriter Kara DioguardiW–to the additional mix of Simon, Paula and Randy, saying, "I think once you’ve been told, ‘You suck,’ you don’t need to be told another three times." No worries–I’m sure Paula will make up for it by trying to date as many of the contestants as possible…

 Despite legal pressure from Harry Potter studio Warner Brothers, the Indian film Hari Puttar: A Comedy Of Terrors will be released this weekend, as a judge disagreed with studio arguments that their titles were too similar.
