VR new singer, The Crue new biopic

Velvet Revolver could be recruiting their replacement for former vocalist Scott Weiland via file sharing website YouTube, reports GIGWise.
Rolling Stone reports that unknown singers have been campaigning for the ultimate job by posting online video auditions. Many have claimed that they have the inside track for the job, although no one in the Velvet Revolver camp has officially contacted any would be singers. Drummer Matt Sorum admitted that the band had listened to some submissions sent in by mail but failed to confirm if they would be using YouTube to attain their new member.


Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash and his wife, Perla, can move forward with a $1 million civil suit they filed against a real estate agent and his firm, alleging they were duped into buying a house that did not have the amenities they expected, a judge ruled today. The suit, filed last November in Los Angeles County Superior Court and amended in mid-March, names Gregory Holcomb and Sotheby's International Realty as defendants. Judge Mel Red Recana denied defense motions to dismiss the portions of the suit alleging fraud, constructive fraud, negative fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, and to strike the claim for punitive damages.


Motley Crue are back with a new album, a song that's a hit with gamers and an upcoming festival tour, but the bad-boy rockers are frustrated that a long-awaited movie about their lives is going nowhere. The glam-metal veterans first announced in 2006 they had reached a deal with MTV Films/Paramount to start producing a biopic based on their best-selling autobiography "The Dirt," which was co-written with Neil Strauss. But the band is now looking for new partners, bassist/lyricist Nikki Sixx told Reuters.
