Chicago - East Coast Sag Leaders Say West Coast Leaders Lied

East Coast SAG leaders have charged that West Coast leaders lied to them when they
assured them that their "solidarity" rally last Monday would be "pro-SAG" and would
not be "remotely anti-AFTRA." Instead, they said, the rally became a blistering attack
on AFTRA's deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. "We
were lied to by" union president Alan Rosenberg and national executive director Doug
Allen, an unnamed East Coast member of SAG's national executive committee told today's
(Wednesday) Hollywood Reporter. Moreover, members of the Chicago local of SAG
have reportedly sent a letter to Rosenberg asking that he call off the $75,000 "educational
campaign" aimed at attacking the AFTRA contract with the AMPTP. Todd Hissong, pres
ident of the Chicago local, called the campaign "an unconscionable waste of our resources
and our time. And Chicago's rank and file does not support it."

The Bleeding Love sensation has since rescheduled her chat with respected columnist James Brady and he has taken a moment to honour the singer's class in a Parade magazine article.

Brady writes, "She was in New York recently but developed a sore throat, forcing her to change our breakfast plans and fly back to London.

"The next day, she sent me a bottle of wine with the sweetest note. Good penmanship on personalized stationery - the sort of gesture reporters rarely get.

"Obviously, she's a kid with manners as well as talent."

Duran Duran Accuse Madonna Of Copying Their Ideas

Duran Duran bassist John Taylor has accused Madonna of copying their ideas by installing Justin Timberlake and Timbaland as producers on her new album, 'Hard Candy'.

It's the same partnership that worked on Duran Duran's 2007 album 'Red Carpet Massacre', which entered the UK charts at number 44.

Taylor said that he wasn't surprised to see Madonna employ both artists but claimed it was their idea.

“It wouldn’t be the first time Madonna’s copied us. She’s been doing it for years,” he told the Daily Star.

Taylor also revealed that Arctic Monkeys bassist Matt Helders has remixed their new song 'Skin Divers', which is out soon.

“I spoke to him and he really wanted to play drums on our track so that’s what he’s done. He’s a nice lad, knows his stuff,” Taylor said

The Ting Tings have told the Daily Star that live shows were often a disaster for the chart topping duo.

The band, who had both a number one single with 'That's Not My Name' and a number one album with 'We Started Nothing', admitted that it took some time before they perfected their performances on stage.

"We did our first proper gig at the Birmingham Barfly. It was where Katie picked up the guitar for the first time � but she couldn't get a sound out," said drummer Jules De Martino.

"She had to ask the audience what to do and they shouted back: 'Turn the amp on'."
