There's a confusing court case gathering in the wings as Rihanna sues TopShop over a tshirt with her face on that the Tory sacking advisor Philip Green (sorry, I mean "Philip Green's wife", don't I?) was flogging without her permission. The oddity is that in a rather detailed unattributed source briefing to the New York Post, Rihanna's team more-or-less admitted that she doesn't have much of case: The source said, “Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image and were told, ‘We do what we want.’ They buy the [...]

There's two things here. First, GWAR, even if you're launching a chilli sauce - even a hot chilli sauce - you're still just getting into selling condiments. That puts in the same space as, well, this guy: However, if you must try and stretch your brand into sauces, condiments, pickles and chutneys, try not to do it like this: The band's guitar player Balsac, has said that Gwar-B-Q sauce "is mostly made out of the blood of really hot chicks." He adds that such [...]

Times are tough for selling physical products in the music industry, so I suppose you've got to be impressed at Rihanna offering a copy of her CD which costs $250 . She does throw some stuff in to sweeten the deal: The Diamonds Executive Platinum Box edition includes a copy of the album, a 2GB credit card-style USB, a unisex T-shirt with a Michael Muller photo printed on, and seven art print 12x15 lithographs. It will also contain three device adhesives featuring Rihanna's Unapologetic cover, logo and image, seven laptop stickers, a vinyl [...]

Of course Lady GaGa is going to start squeezing her fans dry by flogging water to them . Madonna, you'll recall, was part of the scam flogging supposed magicky-god-flavoured Kabbalah water. At least GaGa is only going to be making made-up science claims: [New York Daily News] Confidenti@l has learned the pop superstar is on the verge of launching a “healthy drinking water brand” that will be floated out through a multimillion-dollar global advertising campaign. Thank God GaGa will spare us from all that unhealthy water sloshing around the shop shelves - brands like Evian [...]

THE King's briefs are to go on sale at an auction of Elvis Presley pop memorabilia. Unwashed and still soiled, the pair of Presley's underpants was worn beneath one of his famous white jumpsuit's during a performance in 1977. The light-blue dance briefs are expected to fetch up to £10,000 when they go under the hammer next month at the auction in Stockport, Cheshire. Other items up for sale include his personal Holy Bible, which is expected to raise up to £25,000, and 16mm film footage taken from Priscilla Presley's own personal home movies of Elvis.

- Frequenze old school - La titletrack non presente nella scaletta dell'omonimo album è un paradosso spiegabile solo con la pazzia di quegli anni. Soprattutto se il pezzo in questione concentra in se il succo degli altri tredici brani presenti in scaletta.

At the start of the month, you might remember a crypt in which the corpulent corpse of the late Elvis Presley rested while paperwork was completed turned up on an auction site. Put your money back in your pocket, Dickinson : fans have decided that this is somehow an affront to his memory, and had the auction cancelled. Oddly, the various other assaults on his memory - the Elvis-branded banana-flavoured peanut butter cups; the official golden sunglasses; the locks of hair with certificates of authenticity - this seems to be fine with [...]

What do you get the Elvis fan who has everything? Here's perhaps the ultimate piece of memorabilia - assuming you'd draw the line at getting a spade and sneaking past security at Graceland: Elvis' crypt is up for sale : This lot includes: permanent ownership of the crypt where Elvis was once entombed; opening and closing of the vault and crypt for burial; memorialization inscription; and use of a small chapel for a committal service. Transportation and funeral home charges are not included. It wasn't just Elvis - his mother Gladys also was there for a while, [...]

Here's something for the person who has everything, but sense: The chance to buy Michael Jackson's hair , salvaged from the Pepsi advert shoot and up for auction: Unaware that he was on fire Michael continued to perform until Executive Producer of the Pepsi commercial, Ralph Cohen, rushed to aid him. As seen in the infamous video, Cohen threw his Armani jacket over Jackson's head to help extinguish the flames. Michael was taken to hospital only after reassuring the 3,000 strong audience that he was ok. On removing his jacket Cohen found Michael's [...]

It's easy to characterise Michael Buble as a dull, dull man. But surely that can't be true, can it? He has crazy times on tour, right? Ice hockey enthusiast Michael Buble takes his obsession on tour with him by asking for a local team's puck in every venue he plays. God. He's even duller than he appears at first. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

Tony McCarroll is flogging the drumkit he used when he was in Oasis, and Gordon is happy to help : He told me: "I've never taken advantage of the Oasis connections over the years. There have been a lot of offers and opportunities but I just never felt the need to. "I've been living a really normal life, nothing much has been going on. "I've been looking into DJing with Clint Boon. "I heard a rumour Wayne Rooney was interested in buying the drum kit and thought that might be better [...]

How much money do you have? Good news - unless you said 'none' - as you can turn some of that money into an officially-endorsed luxurious "recreation" of the original Black Type tea towel. For years writers of "letters" to the nation's premier pop periodical Smash Hits would hope to be judged the best, in order to win a record token and tea towel. The "record token" has vanished into the haze of memories - something to do with buying Frisbees in shops, I think - but at least we can all enjoy our very own tea [...]

Smiths fans should worry about a cover version on a John Lewis advert. How much of a schmuck must you feel if you'd bought into the Dead Kennedys worldview, only to find this sort of thing being officially available: No, no. That isn't a Jello Biafra Bobblehead. It's, erm, a Throbblehead: Jello Biafra, the original political punk and former ringmaster of Dead Kennedys, is now a throbblehead. This figure capturing his look from the 80s is limited to 1000 numbered units, stands at 7 inches [...]

- Frequenze old school memorabilia - Pensavo di essere un discreto esperto dell'universo Clash. Per fortuna sbagliavo. C'è sempre qualcosa di nuovo da scoprire. Come questa versione alternativa di Guns Of Brixton pubblicata dalla CBS in un singolo del 1990 intitolato Return To Brixton e indissolubilmente legata ai suoni del periodo. A prevalere infatti è la componente dance. Nulla di estremo: di reggae mantiene le sfumature con un'andatura generale che in gergo madchesteriano era definita baggy. E come dieci anni prima, quando tra feroci critiche Strummer e compagni [...]

Meet Ben Venom . He makes heavy metal quits. As he explains: I'm interested in juxtaposing traditional handmade crafts with one of the more extreme musical genres, Heavy Metal. My work can be described as a collision of Iron Maiden Metal ballads with the outrageous stage antics of Ozzy Osbourne. Serious, yet attempting to take on a B movie Horror film style where even the beasts of Metal need a warm blanket to sleep with. The question remains… Can I play with madness? Everyone needs a comfy cuddle. Even rock gods. [via metafilter ] [...]
