The man claims that while he was at a seafood restaurant in New York last year, Christina Aguilera suddenly handed him her phone and Eminem was on the line. The lawsuit claims that he then gave Eminem the idea for the Born of Fire commercial that was released just under a year ago.

From the lawsuit:

I want the court to reward me a judgment in the amount of $9 million…I designed every aspect of the commercial and the commercial was stolen from me. In addition, I did not receive compensation in monetary terms for the work I did.

This is in aid of the upcoming release of the new film The Amazing Spiderman, which seems to be the 3rd Spiderman Franchise that we have seen in recent years. See below for the footage of the symbol appearing across the globe.

The Amazing Spiderman appears in cinemas in early July and stars ‘The Social Networks’s star Andrew Garfield. However, we have been assured that the plot will differ completely from the first set of Spiderman films.

“We wanted to play our music, but were told that we couldn’t play. We had to do a collaboration with someone else, and we just felt like it was such a large stage, we’re getting nominated for this record that we made. Me and Brian [Joseph] and a bunch of our fucking friends and we were given accolades for it, and all of a sudden we were being asked to play music that had nothing to do with that. We kind of said ‘fuck you’ a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don’t think they wanted us to play.”

Bon Iver will come out to Australia in March to play a select few sold-out shows in capital cities and play Golden Plains Sixxx Festival.

Emmett Malloy has also filmed documentaries such as The White Stripes’ Under Great White Northern Lights. Big Easy Express will not be the only film being aired at the festival; 130 features will screen, of which 65 are world premieres.

“SXSW has long been a haven for bold filmmaking and a launching pad for authentic voices,” Film Conference and Festival producer Janet Pierson said. “Every year we start anew, trying hard not to rely on our own formulas or expectations. This year we’re excited to present a fresh slate of breakout talent, but one that’s still uniquely SXSW.”

Speculation arose after it was announced that the Auckland end of the festival would unfortunately not take place in 2013, however all doubt has now been removed. Sewell told the Adelaidenow that “I’ve just met the new partners and we are definitely coming back to Adelaide.”

It was announced late last year that one of the largest festival promoters in America, and one of the most respected globally, C3, had partnered with Ken West and the Big Day Out team. This is the first news we have heard about the 2013 festival, and it seems that it is not changing at all, which is a relief to veterans.

With the Big Day Out coming to a close tomorrow in Perth, keen punters now have several months of speculation ahead of them, with the 2013 Big Day Out set to be one of the biggest and best in years.

Greenaway stepped down from her position a month after conducting the inquest because she did not meet these strict guidelines reports Artists Direct.

“In order to meet the guidelines, she would have needed to have been a solicitor in the Law Society for at least five years, but she had only been part of the org for less than three years. So her resume was not at the level at which it needed to be.” states the report.

The band, who supported stadium rockers Foo Fighters are expected to announce a string of world dates in support of their forthcoming album. The band have also announced that they will be appearing on the 2012 Download Festival, which is in contention for best festival of 2012 with a line-up including the re-united Black Sabbath, Metallica playing their infamous Black Album in its entirety, The Prodigy, Chase & Status, Soundgarden, Megadeath and many, many more.

Details about the album are yet to be released, but we should be expecting nothing less than impeccable if it is somewhat similar to their 2006 release.

However, he is in fact not dead, and alive and well. Similar hoaxes have emerged about celebrities such as John Bon Jovi Cher, Charlie Sheen, TooShort, The Rock, Kevin Bacon, Luke Perry, Jack Black, Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Tom Green, Tiger Woods, George Clooney.

Lambert was joined on-stage by surviving Queen members in the 2009 American Idol final, playing the Queen sporting anthem We Will Rock You and playing The Show Must Go On at the 2011 EMA’s. However, Lambert acknowledges that he cannot replace Freddy Mercury and has no intention to, “That’s impossible,” he said. “The way I’m choosing to view it is that it’s a great honor and one I’m in no way going to shirk.”

This somewhat controversial replacement singer has caused much discussion on the internet, with fans being split down the middle on this agenda. However, Lambert’s vocal range does come close to Mercury’s, it is acknowledged by both Lambert and Queen that the band will never be the same without their deceased frontman, however to quote Queen themselves, “The show must go on”

Laneway Festival is Australia’s premier indie festival and as other festivals like Big Day Out decline, Laneway continues to grow. The festival will head to Sydney tomorrow before winding up in Adelaide and Perth next weekend.
