AP - A judge has reinstated a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G., reversing an earlier decision to dismiss the case.
R. Kelly’s lawyers filed a motion yesterday to delay the start of Kelly’s child pornography case due to the publicity it has received. Prosecution has until today, when jury selection is slated to begin in Chicago, to respond to the request.
Dave Grohl has written an open letter to Metallica, requesting they not release their new album “until it’s kick-ass” even though he’s sure they’ll “come out and blow everybody’s fuckin’ minds, because you’re fuckin’ METALLICA!”
Foxy Brown will avoid additional jail time after pleading guilty to hitting her neighbor with a cell phone last year.
Frank Zappa’s trust will issue a previously unreleased 1972 Zappa concert on May 27th as a two-disc set called Wazoo.

What It Is: Earphones that deliver the power and intimacy of those iPod earbuds without damaging your ears.
Who It’s For: Anybody who wants to enjoy music at maximum volume without going deaf.
Why It’s Worthy: AirDrives use something called InAir technology, a patented system that places the speaker on the outside of the ear, which allows for dynamic sound quality while keeping the pressure on the inner ear low. Also, there’s a variation available for the iPhone that seamless transitions into phone calls — a boon for iPhone addicts.
Our Only Complaint: Depending on what your tastes are, you may not like the fact that AirDrives allow for a lot more outside sound to infiltrate (though it will probably keep you from being hit by a bus).
Cost/Where to Get It: $79.99; AirDrives (Available now)
