Music industry to tax downloaders
Internet users could face an annual charge of up to £30 to download music, under plans to be unveiled today that aim to tackle illegal file-sharing.
Ministers are backing proposals that would enable millions of broadband users to pay an annual levy which would allow them to copy as much – previously illegal – music from the internet as they wanted. The money raised would be channelled back to the rights-holders, with artists responsible for the most popular songs receiving a bigger slice of the cash

MARGARITO KOs COTTO IN 11th ROUND
All frustration of the wasted years lost while more high profile fighters refused to face him spilled out in a torrent of fury Saturday night as Antonio Margarito settled many old scores, all at the expense of Miguel Cotto.
For 11 rounds at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Margarito stalked the WBA welterweight champion, taking all Cotto threw at him and matching it with a relentlessness that broke Cotto down in the way he had done to so many others on nights that belonged to the champion.

DIDDY’S DENIES CASSIE RUMORS, “THERE IS NO ENGAGEMENT” SAYS REP
Rumors of a possible marriage in the making between Diddy and his Bad Boy signee Cassie have been shaken-off by the rap mogul’s rep.
According to People, a representative for Diddy denied all allegations that the 38 year-old hip-hop icon was eyeing the 21 year-old songstress to be his wife.
“Contrary to tabloid reports, there is no engagement,” the rep told People. “This was a complete fabrication.”
As previously reported by SOHH’s gossip blog, Ya Heard, rumors began to circulate when close friends of Diddy reported him planning a low-key wedding with Cassie. There was no date scheduled but he allegedly told insiders in early June.
In related news, Diddy has teamed with VH1 for a new reality series called “I Want To Work For Diddy” set to debut next month.
The show will focus on 13 applicants competing for the opportunity to work alongside the superstar. Only one contestant will be chosen as they endure emotional, physical, and mental challenges throughout each episode.

Nas Dethrones Lil Wayne Atop Billboard 200
One rapper replaces another atop The Billboard 200 this week, as Nas' untitled Def Jam album dethrones Lil Wayne's Cash Money/Universal set "Tha Carter III." Nas' album sold 187,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becoming the rapper's fifth No. 1 here.

The Decca soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!," the film adaptation of the hit theatrical musical based on ABBA's songbook, experiences an 89% sales boost after the movie hit theaters Friday (and earned the highest grossing weekend opening ever for a musical); it climbs 7-3 with 91,000.

NAS JOINS PROTEST AGAINST FOX
By: Brandi Hopper
On the track “Sly Fox,” off his newly released album, Nas calls the Fox network out for feeding viewers “toxins.” Now he's joining over 600,000 others who are protesting what they deem as media poison from the news network.
Nas recently joined a campaign waged by grassroots organizations ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org to deliver well over a half a million signatures to stop what they call racist smearing against African-Americans, including possible democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. They’ll drop the petition off at the Fox’s Manhattan headquarters tomorrow.
On “Sly Fox,” he raps, "Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins, Stop sleeping, Start thinking" and "I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth/Not the biased truth/Not the liar's truth/But the highest truth."
The protesters charge Fox with broadcasting a “veiled attempt to prey on racism and intolerance and cast the Obamas as ‘outsiders,’” according to a press release.
The group specifically cites an on-screen graphic that referred to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama;” an incident in which a pundit seemingly confused Barack Obama with “Osama” and joked that they should both be assassinated; and a comment made my an anchor about a picture of Barack and Michelle giving each other a pound, calling it a “terrorist fist jab.” The group also takes issue with Bill O’Reilly’s February comment, calling for a “lynching party” for Michelle, among other incidents.
"When Fox talks about lynching the woman who may soon be our First Lady and then refers to this wife and mother as a 'baby mama,' they are maligning not only the Obamas, but Black women and Black people across this country," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org.
"Fox poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news," Nas said.

RICKY ROSS EXPOSED AGAIN? IS THIS THE BEGINING OF THE END OF HIS RAP CAREER?
Written By: SOHH Streetz
OK. I think It's a wrap for homies rap career. Last week the hip-hop world were all talks about Ricky Ross shaky background. Reports were coming out the woodworks that "The Boss" tales of drug dealings and criminal activities might have been nothing more then a rouse. A picture surfaced showing the Miami rap star in what appeared to be police clothing and Trick Daddy is already accusing Ricky of working as a correctional officer.
Ross went on record denying the rumors, but now even more evidence has emerged.
Erotic Furniture Inspired by the Most Attractive Female Forms
I don’t know what was in Mario Philippona head when he created these pieces of erotic furniture. His work is inspired by the most attractive female forms, and his pieces available for sale are hilarious. The pieces might be unique, but they are to much, for example how would you explain to your kids that the furniture looks like a woman part ? Mario Philippona is a Dutch craftsman that specializes in erotic furniture carvings and he uses the female anatomy as inspiration for his range of cupboards, wardrobes and tables. Mario Philippona said : “The shape of a woman, her organic architecture, combined with my passion for wood inspired me to sculpt these sexy designs.” Finally I don’t think that to many people would buy a piece of furniture like this, and for Mario I would like to suggest to use his skills to create things that are a little bit more useful, and not so vulgar ( or maybe these pieces were created just to get some attention ? ).

Boy band promoter ordered to repay victims $300M
ORLANDO, Fla. - Lou Pearlman and federal authorities have finally agreed on how much the former boy band promoter swindled from banks and investors in a decades-long scam: a staggering $300 million.
That's how much creator of the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync will have to repay, at a minimum, for restitution on the fraud conviction for which he's serving a 25-year prison sentence.
U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharpe on Wednesday asked prosecutors and defense attorneys to amend court documents with the agreed amount.
It will be difficult for Pearlman to repay all the money while he is behind bars. Pearlman made millions in the record industry in the 1990s, but investigators have found that money and more seemingly gone with the collapse of his Ponzi scheme.
