Quick Cuts - Alicia Keys Sings Bond Theme, Lil Wayne Arrested and More!

By News Desk

Snoop Dogg Goes Places

Snoop Dogg is not done experimenting with country music it seems, because he is planning to re-interpret the music of Johnny Cash next.

The Dogg is re-doing "I Walk The Line" by Cash in a new re-mix CD, produced by John Carter Cash, son of the country legend. Snoop has previously tried his hand at country with the track "My Medicine" as well.

It is also reported that Snoop will be heading to Bollywood! He will team up with Indian super star Akshay Kumar, to film a music video for the theme song of Kumar's new movie Singh Is Kinng.

Lil Wayne Arrested!

Lil Wayne is in the news again. But this time, not for his chart-topping album, but because he has been arrested!

The rapper and New Orleans artist Lil Dee, were reportedly engaged in a verbal argument at a club. Dwayne Carter later assaulted Lil Dee after he got punched in the face. The two were both locked up and booked for assault and disturbing the peace.


Metallica's Death Magnetic

Metallica has revealed more details about the collector's edition of their latest album, Death Magnetic.

The limited edition copies will contain collectibles, such as guitar picks, a T-Shirt, a fold-out poster and a special invitation to one of their European shows. What's more, all these goodies will come in a coffin-shaped box. How cool is that?

The collector's edition is only available online.


Alicia Keys To Perform Bond Theme

First it was Amy Winehouse, then it was Duffy. Now a new name has been attached to the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie, and it's none other than Alicia Keys.

The star is reportedly the top choice of the producers for the Bond Film, Quantum of Solace. If she snags the gig, she would have beaten other contenders like Leona Lewis and Duran Duran.

Alicia Keys will be in Singapore together with bands like OneRepublic and Simple Plan on August 2 and 3 for SINGfest '08. So be sure not to miss this star-studded event!


T.I. And Fall Out Boy Hook-Up

Musically, Fall Out Boy and T.I. may not have much in common, but that didn't stop them from collaborating on a track.
