Etta James is not a happy woman these days. Not only is she suffering from complications from her gastric bypass surgery, but it seems she is now mad at Beyonce for singing "At Last", James' signature song, at Obama's inauguration concert. I would've thought she would at least say something B's oversinging... Guess not.
Elton John may or may not be recording with Eminem. The rumor was started because John was in Detroit while Em was recording there. What? A flamboyant rocker can't just go to Detroit and hang out? Maybe he was meeting up with Carl Craig for a remix of "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" ...it could happen!
Blink-182 is reuniting! (To present an award at the Grammy's.)
