MORE OZZY LAWSUITS
Add former band members Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake to the growing number of lawsuits facing Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne.
Bassist Daisley and drummer Kerslake are suing Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Sony Music Entertainment, Epic Records, and Blizzard Music for $20 million. The duo claimed they weren't properly credited for their songwriting contributions. Sharon Osbourne dismissed both lawsuits as frivolous. She told Daily Variety, "It concerns events that happened two decades ago and has absolutely no basis in reality."
In regards to the Pumpkins suit she said "Obviously this is just a sad attempt to keep me in his [Billy Corgan] life a little longer because he misses me so much."

MARILYN MANSON PLOTS BOOK, MOVIE AND ALBUM
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson will release a new album Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death), a coffee table book and his first movie Holy Wood in the fall. The album has been reported to be the darkest and heaviest Manson album to date. This comes as a relief to some fans who abandoned the singer when his glam inspired album Mechanical Animals was released.
