Quick Cuts - Cobain's Ashes To Be Smoked?, Britney's Sex Tape, and More!

By News Desk

Janet Jackson Cancels Show

Janet Jackson cancelled a show in Montreal after she reportedly fell ill during the sound check. This is the second time she has cancelled a show in as many weeks.

More details on that here.


Cobain's Ashes To Be Smoked?

Earlier this year, we reported that Kurt Cobain's ashes were stolen from Courtney Love. They have now found their way to artist Natascha Stellmach, and you won't believe what she wants to do with them.

Stellmach said that she will smoke the late Nirvana frontman's ashes as the climax of an art exhibition, and thus symbolically set him free. The German artist refused to reveal how she came in possession of Cobain's remains.

Courtney had kept Cobain's Ashes in a teddy bear-shaped urn.


Britney's Ranchy Sex Tape

Uh-oh. Just as Britney seems to be rising from the ashes with her VMA wins and her upcoming album, there appears to be a snag in her comeback.

Britney's ex-lover, Adnab Ghalib, has revealed that he is in possession of a raunchy home video of him and the singer. And what's even worse for Brit, is that her ex is looking to sell it to the highest bidder.

Some sources however, are saying that this is all just a hoax, and the controversial tape does not really exist.

Let's just hope, for Britney's sake, that it really doesn't.


Robbie Williams Invites Aliens To Earth

We recently told you that Robbie Williams was seen dressed in a gorilla outfit, and walking around Los Angeles. Well, there's more strange news from the Robbie Williams camp.

The ex-Take That singer is now recording an album inspired by UFOs, in the hopes that it will help establish contact with extra-terrestrial life. Robbie wrote the songs while staying at Trout Lake, supposedly America's UFO hotspot.

Robbie's interest in aliens began when he encountered a UFO several years ago.


Avenged Sevenfold Cancels US Tour Dates

Avenged Sevenfold recently cancelled tour dates in the US when frontman, M Shadows, lost his voice. Fortunately they should resume touring in time for their Singapore stop.

Avenged Sevenfold literally brought the house down when they performed as part of Singfest last year, when surging fans almost broke the barricades during the metal band's set.

So get in on the head-banging action by booking your tickets to their performance at Fort Canning on October 24 now!

Daniel Powter has returned with a new album after a three year break. We talked to him about the creative process and working with acclaimed producer Linda Perry.

Daniel Powter's new single is called "Next Plane Home," and it's written for his five year old daughter Sofie.
