Diddy's Ride Gets Plowed

A guy got passed-out wasted and plowed into a fleet of super-pricey whips in NYC the other night -- too bad for him, that $400,000 Maybach he hit belonged to Diddy!
P. Diddy
Cops tell TMZ they popped jackass Charles Lorenzo for DUI last Friday after he slammed into several cars -- including Diddy's sweet ride -- in front Manhattan hotspot 1Oak.

Get this -- cops say Lorenzo was so drunk when they showed up, he was ass up, passed out face down on the ground.

Kings Of Leon Unveil The Politics Behind New Album

Kings of Leon have admitted that both age and more experience have helped them tackle political issues on their new album.



The record, entitled 'Only By Night Night', is due to be released on September 22nd and is the follow-up to 2007's 'Because of the Times'.



Speaking about the lyrics on the new album, frontman Caleb Followill said: "The older you get the more you realise that you have to take a stand and have to believe in something and I think we're on the right path.



“I just think we're a little more political at this point.”



Followill went on to explain that the band hadn't touched political issues in the past because “for a while it was the cool thing for American bands to do”. “A lot of people revived their careers that way,” he added.



"We let that pass over and now we can actually write or sing about something if we have a belief about it and we're doing it on our terms and not because its the cool thing to do.



“Truth is Bush is still in their, the war is still going on,” he told XFM.



Kings of Leon previewed new material, believed to be from the new album, during their headlining performance at the Glastonbury Festival last Friday (June 27th).

Kid Rock - Rock Daly Team Up For Golf Fun At Buick Open


KID ROCK turned Michigan's Buick Open Pro-Am golf tournament into a day of fun and games on Wednesday (25Jun08) when he teamed up with hellraiser JOHN DALY for a round.

Rock, who was hospitalised for exhaustion in Britain earlier this month (Jun08), turned up for his 18 holes wearing a white T-shirt, hat and denim dungarees and had no intention of following golf's stuffy rules, switching to sandals and camouflage shorts.

And his partner, Daly, was just as game to have fun on the Warwick Hills course in Grand Blanc.

Rock chatted with fans, joining them behind ropes at one point to cheer Daly on, and revealed he and the golfer became firm friends after the chubby sports star bought thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise at one of his concerts.

And recreating a party trick Daly has performed many times at his rocker pal's Michigan home, the golfer, at one point, teed off from a beer can.

Day Of Infamy

Breakdown prompts US strike fears

Three weeks of contract talks between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the organisation that represents the major American studios have ended in stalemate, prompting fears of a strike.
The 100-day writers strike ended in February and is still affecting TV schedules. Stumbling blocks such as 'residual' rights relating to DVD sales, the internet and other new media are blocking progress.
The unrest has already had an impact with many shows in the US having decided against scheduling productions to happen after June 30, the date the current agreement between the studios and the unions ends, until agreement is reached.
According to Reuters, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the studios, said after the breakdown that: 'SAG's continued adherence to unreasonable demands' had led to the breakdown.
SAG has not yet released a statement.
A separate dispute between SAG and the other main acting union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), has also fed the uneasiness.
In the past, the unions negotiated in tandem, but a split occurred prior to the current talks and the studios are expected to negotiate with AFTRA next.
