From the rumour-happy Glastonbury music festival comes word that members of Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things might join together and form a band called The Libertines. The evidence: Both bands are scheduled to play the fest, and Carl Barat and Pete Doherty — in addition to reuniting onstage in London last April — did collaborate on a Beatles cover recently. Still, this is Glastonbury, a festival organized by people who hinted that we were getting a Creedence Clearwater Revival reunion at the 2007 festival. Instead, we’re getting John Fogerty.Sorry, Portland Trailblazers fans: Sufjan Stevens is NOT, as of now, dedicating his next stately tribute to Oregon. The Beaver State has this page to thank for the hoax.The 8 Diagrams will be the name of the Wu-Tang Clan’s new album, the group’s first studio effort since 2001. Q-Tip, Marley Marl, and E.Z. are among the collaborators.Following the Wu’s cue, James Blunt has a new album of his own to announce. All The Lost Souls is out September 17th and will feature first single “1973,” “I Really Want You,” and “Annie.”Michael Jackson is convinced he’s losing money because his family and friends are robbing him, and not because he buys things like The Elephant Man’s bones.
