- Pharrell Williams, Neptunes
producer and N.E.R.D. describes the relationship between  Beyonce
Knowles and Jay-Z as "incredible."
He says he undestands why the couple try to keep their romance out of the spotlight,
saying, "It’s incredible that my man found the right girlfriend and that my home girl found
she right dude. Sometimes the relationship is far more important than getting the world
involved---it could be potentially dangerous. When you're ready to tell everybody, then
you tell everybody. Love is sacred.

NEW YORK - The record album John Lennon signed for the man
who killed him hours later is for sale online.
Gary Zimet, president of the Web site Moments in Time, said the
album, "Double Fantasy," is being offered for $525,000.
The album is being sold by the man who found it in the front gate flower
planter outside the Dakota apartment building near Central Park. Mark
David Chapman shot and killed Lennon in 1980 outside the building,
where Lennon lived with his wife, Yoko Ono.
"There has been a huge amount of interest," Zimet said in a
phone interview. "This is the greatest rock 'n' roll piece ever sold."
 

Dido is back with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, London
record exec Ferdie Unger-Hamilton after a four-month split.
The pair were spotten nuzzling and holding hands and all that
stuff at a recent soccer match and appeared to be very
together. Dido began seeing Ferdie Unger-Hamilton
after breaking up with her boyfriend of seven years,
and the two themselves have split up at least twice since
then.

The estate of Elvis Presley wants some of the legit theatrical
action enjoyed by Mamma Mia!, which exploits ABBA pop hits of the
past, and has a new musical to use the songs of the late
king of rock 'n' roll.
Producer Jonathan Pollard told the Times All Shook Up is a musical
comedy about "a magical jukebox and a leather-jacketed stranger" and
the impact they have on a "loveless town."
Famous pop songs are being used more and more as scores - or to
punctuate scores - to new musicals: Movin' Out borrows Billy Joel
classics, Mamma Mia! plunders the ABBA treasure chest, Taboo
references Boy George's past hits and uses many new Boy George
tunes, Footloose used the film's hit songs and new songs,
Saturday Night Fever shoe-horned Bee Gees' numbers into the plot.
In the works are musicals taking songs of The Beach Boys
and John Lennon
