No nature loving hipping is going to take a nice stroll in James Hetfield’s backyard but the fence he built to keep them and everybody else off of his property is really pissing off the locals. Several hikers and cyclists in Northern California have been getting their spandex in wads because the Metallica front man has blocked access to a hiking trail by putting up a 10-foot high fence around his property. According to KTVU, the rock star supposedly put up a fence to stop vandalism on his newly purchase land (on which the trail runs through) but the fence itself has been vandalized with the words shame and disgrace.

Jared Leto is firing back on the lawsuit that was brought against him by his own record label. And while he’s a douche bag that I love to hate most of the time, I actually agree with him on this one. The actor/singer wrote a lengthy post on his official blog saying that the band did not call it quits. He also mentioned that the band has been signed to the label for 9 years but there is actually a California law that one cannot be bound to a contract for more than 7 years. Basically, they didn’t quit. The contract was simply null and void. Add the fact that they haven’t been paid and they had every right to leave the label. For a douche, he’s pretty smart and diplomatic. Why can’t he be like that the whole time?
Lily Allen is frustrated that her new album isn’t going to be released this fall as her record label pushed its release back to next year. The Brit has taken to her blog to vent out her anger pretty much blaming her label about the delay. She even talks about the politics in the music industry. But maybe the label knows best. Wouldn’t you rather give them more time to promote a record than to rush something out? Or maybe Lily’s album just sucks and her label wants her to get some new material done. Of all the tracks leaked from her album, I’ve only heard one good one. That should say enough.
