Gothenburg, Sweden-based death metal rig Dissection were formed in 1989 by singer/guitarist Jon Nödtveidt and bassist Peter Palmdahl; with the addition of drummer Ole Öhman the following spring, the group recorded its first-class honours degree demonstration, The Grief Prophecy. Following the 1991 Corpsegrinder unmarried "Into Infinite Obscurity," Dissection recorded a indorsement demonstration named The Somberlain, which resulted in a narrow with No Fashion Records and their first album (too highborn The Somberlain, but also featuring second guitar player John Zwetsloot) in late 1993. Johan Norman replaced Zwetsloot for the follow-up, 1995's Storm of the Light's Bane, but and then, in July of 1997, Nödtveidt and a friend were charged with the cruel remove of an Algerian homo. Both were convicted and Nödtveidt standard an eight-year sentence, delivery well-nigh the terminal of Dissection.


Öhman formed a new group called Reaper, and the release of a rarities aggregation, The Past is Alive, in 1998 felt like the band's last rites. But the ensuing tenacious silence was eventually broken by 2003's Live Legacy loge set, and Nödtveidt's release a year later allowed him to finally revive the Dissection nominate, starting with the two-song Omaha Kali EP (role of which was recorded spell he was static in slammer). A potential drop collaborationism with previous Emperor drummer Bard Faust didn't put to work out, only by tardy 2005, Nödtveidt had assembled a new Dissection lineup out of guitarist Set Teitan (see besides Aborym), bassist Brice Leclercq (of Nightrage), and drummer Tomas Asklund (ex-Dark Funeral). This quaternity recorded Dissection's well-received third studio album, Reinkaos, which was issued in May 2006 by The End Records, and seemed to reassert the band's victorious renascence -- afterwards documented on the competently named Rebirth of Dissection together DVD.


However, Dissection's summer spell plans were short cut short, and it was announced that the band would split up following a terminal strand of U.S. dates, which were later canceled due to difficulties obtaining an ledger entry visa because of his felonious record. And then, fifty-fifty spell fans were static approach to grips with their disappointment, newsworthiness began spread crosswise the Internet that the 31-year-old Nödtveidt had committed felo-de-se with a gunfire to the head, encircled by candles in his Stockholm, Sweden, flat, sometime close to August 16, 2006. Shortly in front the felo-de-se, Nödtveidt is aforementioned to have sent farewell letters to his founder and several friends and acquaintances -- i of which reportedly record, "I'm release away for a long, long sentence. I'm sledding to Transylvania."

Clooney's Ex Is Coping After 'Split'

Model Sarah Larson is "moving forward" following reports of her split from George Clooney, a friend reveals. Although neither party has confirmed the end of their year-long romance, sources insist Larson has moved out of Clooney's Hollywood home. And pal Jennifer Morss, the boss of charity Aid for Aids of Nevada, tells People.com Larson is coping. She says, "From what we've talked about she's doing well. You just move forward. She's a strong, very smart girl who I think will make it through pretty much anything." And Morss praises Larson for staying down-to-earth while dating the A-List bachelor: "Your whole life changes overnight, but she maintained that down-to-earth (quality). She as a person never changed - she would say, 'Yes, I'm dating George, but I want to be known for Sarah.' "She's still Sarah, and she maintained all of her relationships with friends and family. When you don't change to go into something like that, there's not a whole lot of change to come out of it."

Screenwriters strike cost Calif. $2.1 bln: report

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The recent Hollywood writers' strike tipped California into a recession, resulting in a loss of $2.1 billion to the state economy and costing 37,700 jobs, the Milken Institute said in a research report.


The report, issued by the economic think tank on Thursday, takes on increasing importance as the Screen Actors Guild and Hollywood's major movie studios are embroiled in their own contract talks that threaten to throw the industry into another work stoppage as soon as the SAG contract expires on June 30.


"The biggest thing that (a potential SAG strike) really does is it slows down the recovery, even a short strike is going to lead to a further disruption of filming schedules," said Kevin Klowden, managing economist at the Milken Institute and one of the report's authors.


Klowden said the three-month writers' strike that ended in February cost the entertainment industry alone $500 million. But because Hollywood overlaps with other state industries, the report found the strike had a wider impact overall.


Some 10,500 members of the Writers Guild of America walked off the job in November last year after failing to strike a new contract with major film and television studios represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.


Key sticking points in those talks centered on how much writers would be paid when their work appeared on the Internet. Web-related payments also are an important hurdle to overcome in the current talks between SAG, which represents about 120,000 film and TV actors, and the AMPTP.


Klowden said the writers strike came at a very bad time for California because the United states was teetering on the edge of a recession.


"The fact is that for California this was essentially a tipping point that pushed us (the state) into a recession," Klowden said. 

Ex EastEnder recovering after health scare

Former 'EastEnders' star Todd Carty has been discharged from hospital after a health scare, which saw him become "violently sick" while on stage at the weekend.
According to the BBC, the 44-year-old actor, who played Mark Fowler in 'EastEnders', became ill during a performance of 'The Business of Murder' at The Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire on Saturday.
Carty's agent Derek Webster later spoke to BBC News 24, saying that the actor became "violently sick" on stage and was taken to hospital as a result.
Webster said: "It might have had something to do with an ear infection that Todd has been suffering from for a few days now - I can't actually confirm that."
"He did collapse on stage, he was violently sick. The theatre staff brought the curtain down, rushed him to the Stevenage hospital."
Webster later said: "He was kept in hospital overnight for tests but was released yesterday. All is well and he will be back at work tomorrow filming a new TV show."
Carty, who shot to fame as Tucker Jenkins in 'Grange Hill', also recently played PC Gabriel Kent in 'The Bill'.

Early in 1998, Jagged Edge released their outset album, A Jagged Era, which went gold and spawned the Top 20 R&B, Top 40 pop come to "Gotta Be." Their succeeding individual, "He Can't Love U," appeared in the fall down of 1998 and reached the Top Five of the R&B chart and the Top 20 of the pop chart, sledding gold in the march. It prefaced the group's moment album, J.E. Heartbreak, which topped the R&B chart and hit the Top Ten of the pop chart, marketing over 2,000,000 copies and spawning the number unitary R&B hits "Let's Get Married" (besides Top 20 pop) and "Promise" (likewise Top Ten pop). By the time of the waiver of Jagged Edge's third album, Scraggy Little Thrill, in late June 2001, its leadoff single, "Where the Party At" (featuring Nelly), was nearing the R&B Top Ten and was in the pop Top 40. 2003's Strong and 2006's Jaggy Edge followed. For 2007's The Baby Makin' Project, the grouping switched to Island, merely Dupri had since taken up the post of president at the label's urban division, making the passage from Columbia a welcomed and natural one.

Justin Timberlake To Wed Jessica Biel?

Justin Timberlake is scouting potential wedding venues as he prepares to pop the question to girlfriend Jessica Biel, it’s claimed.
The singer’s reported readiness to settle down comes amid whispers that his actress girlfriend of 16 months is pregnant.
A source tells the UK's Sun: “Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. 
“For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.
“He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.”
Justin apparently has his eye on the West Indian island of Mustique for the setting for their forthcoming nuptials.

Jack Johnson - Sleep Through the Static

Two years on from his breakthrough album 'In Between Dreams', Jack Johnson, that purveyor of positive vibes and sun-soaked melodies, returns with 'Sleep Through the Static'. In what is his fourth offering, the Hawaiian singer-songwriter sticks to the same formula which characterised his previous three efforts.
For fans of his, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. On his day, Johnson can write four-minute folk/pop songs as perfect as any songwriter you're likely to find. Warm acoustic guitar, funky bass-lines and the odd bit of reggae, combined with an uncanny ear for melody, are all staple ingredients of his songs and more often than not he hits the right notes.
'If I Had Eyes' is the first single to come from the album and ticks all the above boxes, a laidback, infectious number about losing that girl and not knowing if you'll win her back.
His pared down, one-man-and-a-guitar songs are some of the best on the album. 'Angel' and in particular 'Same Girl', with its irresistible hook of a chorus, is one of the best he's ever written.
However, although Johnson's tried and tested formula isn't a bad thing, it can be too much of a good thing. Too many times there's a sense that we've been here before. The album's title-track, for example, both in melody and lyrics, is almost a clone of 'Inaudible Melodies', the first song from his debut 'Brushfire Fairytales'. 
The second half of 'Sleep Through the Static' has a darker lean to it, but with no real instrumental or tempo change the differences tend to go unnoticed.
But in the end these shortcomings are just minor grumbles.
Johnson probably knows he'll never make an 'In Rainbows' or 'Blonde on Blonde'. You get the feeling he doesn't seem to mind. Anyone who buys this record looking to escape a rainy Irish afternoon and go somewhere sunnier won't mind either.

Ant Mcpartlin - Ant And Dec To Return Comedy Prize After Rigged Vote

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are to return a television comedy award after it emerged that the vote had been rigged in their favour.

The pair had won the People's Choice award at the 2005 British Comedy awards for their show Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, receiving the trophy from their friend Robbie Williams.

But on the day ITV was handed a £5.67 million fine by communications watchdog Ofcom for a series of mistakes concerning phone-in competitions, it has emerged that BBC comedy The Catherine Tate Show was in fact the correct winner of the viewer phone vote.

However, an investigation by media law firm Olswang has revealed that Williams had been hired to present the award on the promise that Ant and Dec would be the victors.

"Robbie Williams was invited to present an award. It was understood that he would be happy to present an award if the recipients were Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly," their report reads.

"In order to ensure his attendance, this assurance was given, albeit at a time when the winners of all the jury awards had been decided and Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly had not been selected.

"As such it was an assurance that could not legitimately have been guaranteed, as the only award still to be decided was the People's Choice award, the winner of which was then unknown and dependent upon the public vote."

And while there is "no suggestion that Robbie Williams, Anthony McPartlin or Declan Donnelly were aware of any of these issues", the Olswang report revealed that that viewers of the ITV award ceremony were asked to continue voting for the People's Choice award even though Ant and Dec had already been filmed accepting the prize, following a broadcast delay enforced by the nightly news.

A spokesman for Ant and Dec was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying the revelations were "as much a surprise to them as to everybody" and added that they would be returning the award.
