No Doubt Return to the Studio, Trent Reznor Disses Smashing Pumpkins Reunion, AC/DC Plan Live DVD Three-quarters of No Doubt are hard at work in the studio, blueprinting the rough tracks that will become the band’s first album since 2001’s Rock Steady. The absent fourth, singer Gwen Stefani, is currently touring in support of The Sweet Escape. The band anticipates the album will be released sometime next year. Speaking from the Leeds and Reading Festivals where the two bands share a bill, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor called the Smashing Pumpkins reunion “a little corporate.” We wonder where he got that idea. Finally, something Oprah and 50 Cent see eye to eye on: A Detroit record company CEO is suing the Canadian government for discriminating against African-Americans and rappers at the border. Oprah and 50 have been subpoenaed in the $900 million lawsuit, along with Jay-Z, Spike Lee and Eminem. AC/DC will end their hiatus by releasing the double-DVD Plug Me In on October 16th. The collection will cull live performances from 1976 to 2003, with the first disc featuring the Bon Scott era and the second disc full of Brian Johnson lead singing. A limited-edition third DVD will contain twenty-one extra live performances. Think you can beat the Wu-Tang Clan at chess? RZA and GZA will appear at the Hip-Hop Chess Federation tournament in San Francisco this October along with DJ Q-Bert, Rakaa of the Dilated Peoples and Josh Waitzken, who was the subject of the film Searching For Bobby Fischer.

Rock the Bells This vibrant documentary follows concert promoter Chang Weisberg and his Guerilla Union promotion team as they work furiously to ensure that what would turn out to be the last performance of notorious no-shows the Wu-Tang Clan actually takes place. Weisberg puts everything on the line to achieve the seemingly impossible: reuniting the 10 members of the Grammy-winning Wu-Tang Clan, including Method Man ("Garden State," TV's "The Wire"), RZA (composer for "Blade: Trinity" and "Kill Bill" vols. 1 and 2), and founding member, the late Ol' Dirty Bastard to perform at the 2004 "Rock the Bells" hip-hop concert. As if each Wu-Tang member is not difficult enough to work with, the venue's incompetent security, malfunctioning equipment, and riotous crowd all work in tandem to try keeping the history-making show from going on. But Weisberg and his team come through to deliver a concert, and the Wu-Tang Clan performance of a lifetime! Also featuring performances by Redman, Dilated Peoples, MC Supernatural, Sage Francis, Eyedea & Abilities, and more! View Trailer
