Led Zeppelin/Yardbirds/Black Crowes guitarist Jimmy Page has a new gig … as a prosecution witness in a Scottish bootlegging trial being held this week. Page has been recruited to provide evidence against Robert Langley, a businessman accused of trying to sell over 2,400 pirated CDs and DVDs, many of which were of Led Zeppelin. Sharon Osbourne’s father Don Arden, who helped foster the careers of Black Sabbath, Small Faces and ELO, has passed away at the age of 81.

Alice in Chains will play four acoustic-only shows during the off days of their upcoming tour with Velvet Revolver. Check out the trailer for Wes Anderson’s new film The Darjeeling Limited.

Chris Robinson on life changes and Kate Hudson

Echoing the earlier sentiments of ex-wife Kate Hudson, a new interview with Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, 41, finds him expressing regret that their 7-year marriage did not last, but agreeing that the product of the union --  4-year-old Ryder Russell -- is the tie that binds them together still.In 2000, I fell in love. I had never felt anything like that before in my life. It kind of took me over. We get along pretty good now. We've got a four-year-old son and his happiness is the most important thing to us both.Having a child meant big changes for Chris, whose 'extended adolescence' was filled with drug experimentation and the debauchery typical of some rock and rollers. Marrying Kate and getting the unexpected news that Ryder was on the way was a kick in the pants for Chris, causing him to adjust his priorities.Life is different than it was in the Nineties. I'm a dad, and there are other things I have to get done in an afternoon than just being an artist. Part of getting older is realizing that you can integrate all these different areas of your life, rather than the adolescent mindset, which for me lasted a long time, which says, 'It's all or nothing." The Black Crowes' new album, Warpaint, is out this week. Source: The Independent

Kate Hudson says she'll continue to travel with Ryder

Ryder Russell Robinson's jet-setting lifestyle doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon!  The 4-year-old will continue to travel with his mom, actress Kate Hudson, to film shoots around the world until he's entering high school, Kate says.  Lest anyone doubt the wisdom in that decision, Kate -- as the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn -- says that she need look no further than herself and her brother Oliver Hudson to see that such an arrangement really can work.  Kate tells Total Film magazine,I grew up in a working family and my children will do the same.  Once we hit ninth grade then my parents thought, 'Right, you're in school and if we've got to work, we'll come home every two weeks.' Up until then we were always traveling with our parents, so I'll do the same thing with Ryder.Ryder is the only child for Kate, 28, and her ex-husband, Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson.
