Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell is suing mad over his wedding footage featuring newly deceased actress Brittany Murphy.
Some nefarious thief got ahold of the video and offered in on Craigslist. Murphy was maid of honor at the ceremony, and the video was offered as “lost footage” of the star.
Cornell says that the video was stolen and has threatened to sue Craigslist, who has since removed it from their listings.
A source said, “The video features behind-the-scenes wedding moments, many of Brittany Murphy.”
He has also asked the website to fork over the information on the seller, claiming that it’s a federal crime infringing on his copyright.

Alicia Keys took to the piano to perform her new song, “Empire State Of Mind” on “The Colbert Report” last night and to say that it was hilarious would be an understatement.
The funny part happens when Stephen comes out in his hoodie and raps the part that Jay-Z sings. He changed the lyrics and it’s just too funny.
Check out the video:
The lyrics:
Yeah, I love New York, it’s the king of all the cities
I lived up by the Guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies
Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki
Volvo to the dry-cleaners pickin’ up my khakis
Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated
My shorties are all private school educated
Home theater system, 60-inch plasma
Clean suburban air much better for my asthma
Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real
Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal
M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven
I own this town from 41st to 47
Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic
Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic
I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass
To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class
Stephen Colbert is awesome, I just love him to pieces. And Alicia Keys is just brilliant. This video is full of so much win.
Spencer Pratt seems to have decided that since nobody has mocked him relentlessly for a few days, he should go ahead and show the world the cover art for his new “album” titled I’m a Celebrity via his Twitter account. Funny, I never knew that “celebrity” and “douche bag” meant the same thing.
It was very sweet of his girlfriend, Heidi Montag, to loan him all of that money to flash. I bet he whined like a bitch when he had to give it all back.
“But Heidi, I’m a celebrity! I need bling!”
If you’ve never seen or heard Spencer’s single… oddly enough titled “I’m a Celebrity“, you can check it out below. If you like the idea of sticking an icepick through your ear while scorching your eyes with lit cigar stubs, you should definitely check it out below.
Ugh, I just accidentally watched that again. Once I hit play, I just got sucked into the void of bullshit and lost my will to live for four minutes. I hope that someday I get to meet Spencer Pratt so that I can punch him in his vagina.

Chris Brown really went off on retail outlets for supposedly yanking his new album, “Graffiti” from their shelves.
After giving the music industry a big FU recently, his publicists must have thought it was a good idea to yank his Twitter account.
He unleashed a tweet-tirade over the supposed yanking of his album, saying:
im tired of this sh*t. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the *ck do i gotta do…
WTF… yeah i said it and i aint retracting sh*t
im not biting my tongue about sh*t else… the industry can kiss my ass
Walmart representatives sensed that he was referring to them and had a representative say that they actually had stocked the shelves with his album, but it had sold out. I find that hard to believe, but whatever.
Since the tirade, his Twitter has gone the way of Miley Cyrus and has been deleted.

Disney’s Hannah Montana says that she currently working on her “last pop album” and wants to be “edgier” in the future.
Miley Cyrus recently spoke with the British morning show GMTV and stated:
“I kinda want this to be my last record for a little while and … take a break. In a few years, as I grow up, so will my fans, I’ll be able to have more of the sound of music that I’m into.”
Miley has been showing signs of “growing up” for quite some time now, from her pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards in August to the recent photos showing the “just breathe” tattoo below her left breast that has people screaming in indignation.
I for one can’t wait to see the new grown up version of Miley Cyrus. I also enjoy stories of devastating accidents and fatal train wrecks.

I never thought that I would be stepping up in defense of Miley Cyrus, but here it goes.
The past week, the web’s been all aflutter regarding the pictures of Miley’s “terrible white trash” tattoo which “proves she’s no role model for kids” and “shows that she’s trying to escape her good girl image”. Well, a lot of bloggers might want to figure out if they like to eat their words raw or cooked.
It turns out that the tattoo, which reads “Just Breathe”, is a dedication to Miley’s close friend Vanessa, who passed away from Cystic Fibrosis three years ago. Cystic Fibrosis is a devastating chronic disease that is usually found in children. It causes progressive disability, lung blockages and various other horrible symptoms, often leading to the death of infants, children and young adults. Which means that a whole shitload of bloggers are now one step closer to hell. Congratulations, I’ll see you all there.
Miley also has “Just Breathe” on the neck of one of her guitars.
“Just Breathe” is the slogan for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, which Miley Cyrus is a big supporter of.

Alexa Ray Joel,Billy JoelandChristie Brinkley’s23 year old daughter, was rushed to the hospital today after an apparent suicide attempt, theNY Post reports.
Police say Alexa ingested a large amount of sleeping pills and medics were called to her apartment around 12:21 pm.
Claire Mercuri, Billy and Alexa’s publicist and family spokesperson issued the following statement:
“Alexa is stable. Her doctors are assessing her needs and that’s all we can say at this moment.”
A well known songwriter, pianist and singer, Alexa Ray recently updated her MySpace page with a status of “forgotten” and said:
“Just Men. UGH!!! MEN!!!!
I don’t like dating!!! Wish I could be in a relationship again without having to date… I HATE going out!! I’m a homebody and a workaholic… I don’t like going out and drinking to meet men!!! I always have to drag myself out the door to get up the motivation to go out, and when I do go out, I don’t meet anybody!!!
“Is anybody else finding it a difficult “dating world” out there? I’m so terrible at dating– I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to it! And I HATE the game-playing! Can’t stand it. I live in the greatest city in the world and I can’t seem to meet an interesting guy who also happens to be NICE.”
Alexa was conscious at St. Vincent’s Hospital, and is expected to survive.

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has been arrested on suspicion of assault, Surrey police have confirmed.
Wood’s spokesman told BBC News that he was arrested after an “incident”, but declined to comment further.
A police spokesman said: “We can confirm that a 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault in connection with a domestic incident.”
The musician has been released on bail until a later date in January, pending “further enquiries”.
Last month the rock star was divorced by his wife Jo on the grounds of his admitted adultery, after 24 years of marriage.
The couple split in 2008 after the musician began a relationship with another woman.
In the divorce documents, which have been made public, the person with whom the star committed adultery was not named. However, Wood’s relationship with Ekaterina Ivanova, 20, was widely covered in the tabloid press.
In July 2008, the guitarist was admitted to a rehabilitation centre for help with his long-established alcohol addiction.
Adam Lambert has stated that all of the controversy surrounding his over-the-top performance at the American Music Awards on Sunday is “a form of discrimination and a double standard”.
After dragging a female dancer around the stage by the ankles and having a male dancer simulate oral sex on him, Lambert grabbed his (allegedly straight) keyboardist and shoved his tongue down his throat.
Lambert stated,
“Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. We’re in 2009 — it’s time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people’s eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I’m not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom.”
Adam was scheduled to perform on Good Morning America tomorrow morning, but ABC canceled the appearance after receiving over 1,500 complaints about the AMA performance. ABC says that it doesn’t feel that Adam Lambert’s performance is appropriate for morning audiences.
Come on, ABC… we all want to watch a semi-talented Billy Idol wannabe shove his junk in some dude’s face while tongue raping another guy first thing in the morning! Seriously!
Don’t we?

Taylor Swift swept the Country Music Awards last night, winning four awards and handling herself with grace and charm.
The 19 year old also became the youngest Entertainer of the Year in the history of the CMAs.
During her final acceptance speech, the country cutie couldn’t resist a little jab at Kanye West, stating:
“I want to thank every single person in this room tonight for not running onstage during this speech.”
If you haven’t seen Swift’s opening monologue on last week’s Saturday Night Live yet, check it out here. I think she’s one of the best openers that SNL has had in a very long time.
After last night’s event, Taylor said:
“I never imagined that the unattainable thing that I dreamed about could happen to me at 19. It’s a lot to absorb. So now the next challenge is to find the next challenge.”
What’s next? She made becoming a superstar at 19 seem easy, so I am certainly looking forward to the world domination that is sure to follow.

Lil’ Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, a move that will likely land the Grammy-winning star in jail for a year. He previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3½ years in prison. His trial had been due to start Jan. 20.
Police pulled over Wayne’s tour bus in Columbus Circle (near NYC’s Central Park) on July 22, 2007. They said they had seen and smelled marijuana smoke wafting out the door before the bus left a concert venue minutes earlier. Police said that as an officer approached, the rapper (real name Wayne Carter) tossed away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a gun.
Prosecutors said trace amounts of DNA found on the loaded gun connected it to Wayne. His defense lawyer said the gun wasn’t his, and that there were flaws in the way the evidence was tested.
The defense also disputed the whole premise used by officers to search the bus (pot smoke).
According to the AP, Wayne acted politely in court when acknowledging that he had a .40 caliber semi-automatic gun on the bus.
Lil’ Wayne’s trouble with the law doesn’t end here, though. He is also scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case.

Here’s Lady Gaga posing in nude bondage photos for Vogue Japan — tied up in rope bondage stuff that you’ve probably seen on the Internet a few times by “accident.”
The singer began an interview with Australian radio station Nova 106.9 by revealing she was in the studio working on some new music for a re-release of The Fame out this winter and also announced that she would be touring Down Under in the near future. But, of course, the conversation quickly turned to that silly little rumor.
“My beautiful vagina is very offended. I’m not offended; my vagina is offended,” she told the radio station. “I’m not embarrassed — I sold 4 million records in six months; I’m not embarrassed about anything.”

She went on to say that she thinks people started the rumor because of her strong persona and her overwhelming personality, but she didn’t seem to care all that much that people thought it to begin with.
“I think more than anything, it’s society’s reaction to a strong woman,” she said. “The idea that we equate strength with men and a penis is a symbol of male strength, you know, it’s just what it is. But like I said, I’m not offended at all, but my vagina might be a little bit upset.”

The 2009 Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon brought in $5 million less than 2008’s festivities, but one priceless artifact was salvaged: the talent of Charo.
With her cover performance of Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music,” Charo spent Labor Day proving the following: 1) She is alive; 2) Her performance style still combines the agility of Shakira with the delirium of Count Chocula; and 3) She can terrify Jerry Lewis like no other.
Say what you will, but she sorta nailed the performance! She also sorta nailed four white guys in the audience, but you have to go the extra mile to entertain at a telethon.
If Rihanna weren’t too busy allegedly datingTravis London, she’d have to commend this cleavage-bobbling rendition of her best hit.
What others said:
Dlisted, “While all of our asses get older, Charo never ever ages. Seriously, Charo’s 58-year-old hot ass has looked exactly the same since I was drinking my whiskey out of a sippy cup.”
Audrina Patridge is making the rounds in promotion of her new flick, “Sorority Row” and she’s dishing the deets on fellow “Hills” co-star, Heidi Montag.
As it turns out, she’s not Heidi’s biggest fan, either.
She said, “I feel like Heidi, you know, she’s doing it for fun, where a lot of singers and people, they work their ass off, and they actually have amazing voices and they can really sing and perform, and I feel like a lot of people don’t get to experience what Heidi has, going on in front of a billion people and perform on TV. I just don’t think she’s taking it that serious, and that’s what’s kind of disappointing for me, for music lovers out there.”
She went on to say that Heidi’s Miss Universe performance was “very Britney Spears-like”. Maybe we weren’t all watching the same performance?!?
Well, Anderson Cooper was ready to pounce and did just that, tearing Heidi Montag to shreds, saying she’s found a “fresh new way to embarrass herself.”
