Kings of Leon pushing back album

More and more delays, this time from the rock band Kings of Leon who are apparently having trouble getting into the studio to record their new album. The reason for this is the fact that the band are very, very passionate about golf. This is what a source related about Kings of Leon’s professional impediments: “They love golf, they can’t get enough of it. Nathan is a brilliant player but Caleb is having a good go and snapping at his heels. Everyone hopes they will have another album out this year but they’re in no rush. They are really enjoying life away from the studio.” Hopefully Kings of Leon can actually afford to let down the fans… after all, golf is not the cheapest of sports.

Kid Cudi’s punch gets appreciated

This rapper should be an example to all of his colleagues: this is how you use celebrity status to your advantage. Apparently, while Kid Cudi was having a concert in Vancouver, one of the participants, Michael Sharpe, kept throwing a wallet on stage because it didn’t belong to him. Kid Cudi interpreted this as an insult and went ahead and punched his own fan, who took it very lightly though. This is what Michael Sharpe said about the incident: “I’m not upset, I’m not going to be that person. I just want to meet him and be like ‘I’m the guy you punched.’ I’m not going to press charges.” That’s how it should be done! Kid Cudi should really give lessons to all of those violent people who pick on the poor paparazzi as to how to handle the situation properly… and extend a big thank you basket to his fan for being a good sport.

Eric Clapton supposedly recently approached the guitarist from the band Manic Street Preachers, Richey Edwards, in order to try a collaboration. Eric Clapton apparently did this while the two were being treated in the same facility, as bassist Nicky Wire related: “Richey was in The Priory and Eric Clapton was there and he offered to come round and jam, that was one of those moments where you couldn’t write anything funnier, in a tragic situation.” Yep, no more funny from the tragic situaiton. But hey, Manic Street Preachers can always go for something a little more… sad, eh? After all, it’s not always sunshine and butteflies… especially when the dope stops coming.
