News Ticker: 50 Cent, BMG and Coldplay

50 Cent’s MTV reality show The Money and the Power lacked The Audience and the Demographics, thus the show was scrapped from MTV’s “empowering,” music-less new schedule. According to network’s president, the station is looking to “focus less on loud and silly hooks,” which spelled doom for 50’s first foray into TV. BMG’s mail-order music service, famed for its “12 for the price of one” and “10 for the price of a half of one” deals, will stop accepting new members. While its suspected the service might shut down completely, the company says they’re still “very actively engaged with our existing member base and will be making more changes to serve them.” Coldplay are giving their fans the gift of remix this Christmas, making the Thin White Duke remix of their Satriani-esque hit “Viva La Vida” a free download over at their Website. The band also posted a brief video of an instrumental live rendition of “Jingle Bells” the band performed with Simon Pegg at a recent concert.

Bloc Party Announce Surprise New Album “Intimacy” Due August 21st

Surprise!

Radiohead Break Out Covers of Smiths, New Order During Webcast

Even though Radiohead slam-dunked their version of Björk’s “Unravel” during last night’s Webcast, it’s become apparent that the band has not got covers completely out of their system. We’re one hour into tonight’s live telecast, and have already enjoyed two covers: The Smiths’ “The Headmaster Ritual” and, for your viewing pleasure above, New Order’s “Ceremony.” The band also mixed in live versions of their own “Reckoner” (the debut performance of its current incarnation) and “Faust Arp,” which was previously recorded and performed in a field with singer Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood. Between performances, the bandmembers have taken turns DJing (who knew drummer Phil Selway loved him some Iron & Wine?) and broadcasting Stanley Donwood animation as well as hilarious skits, like the Se7en-themed music video for “15 Step.” To join in, head over to www.radiohead.tv.

Christina Aguilera Collapses, Nine Inch Nails Hit Paperwork Snafu, Pearl Jam Announce Live DVD

Christina Aguilera canceled two concert dates after collapsing backstage from a “flu.” Backstage whispers say Aguilera has been “letting out her costumes” to accommodate her ever-growing stomach, fueling those pregnancy rumors. Nine Inch Nails’ planned tour of Russia has been called off due to an error filling out visas, thus forcing Russians to get their murderous, satanic lyrics elsewhere. Peter Hook is threatening to sue the rest of New Order if they go all Roger Waters vs. Pink Floyd on him. Creation Records founder Alan McGee has lashed out at former label cash cow My Bloody Valentine, calling the band “bloody nonsense … my way of seeing how far I can push hype.” Pearl Jam are adding to their plentiful library of live performances by releasing Immagine Nel Telaio, a concert DVD from their 2006 Italian tour, on September 25th.

New Order’s Sumner Talks Birth of Bad Lieutenant, Plans for U.S. Gigs

Photo: Joel Chester Fildes Two years ago New Order bassist Peter Hook quit the group and made it clear he wanted the band name retired. “You are no more New Order than I am!” he wrote in an infamous MySpace screed. “You may have two-thirds, but don’t assume you have the rights to do anything ‘New Order-ey,’ because you don’t.” The remaining members (Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and New Order touring guitarist Phil Cunningham) took his advice, and re-dubbed themselves Bad Lieutenant.

Jonas Brothers Unveil Stark and Sunny “Lines, Vines And Trying Times” Cover

That’s no Abercrombie & Fitch advertisement — according to the Jonas Brothers’ official fan site and the band’s pre-order page, it’s the cover for the JoBros’ new album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, out June 15th. While the trio’s previous album, A Little Bit Longer, put the band in suits and a rain-soaked fluorescent-bulb-lit cityscape, Lines, Vines finds the casual Jonas crew leaning over what it is undoubtedly a pick-up truck. Essentially, they did a reverse Kings of Leon. These are “trying
