A letter from VH1 lands in the mailbag: "There is no truth to the rumor that
Richie Sambora will participate in Rock of Love." Aw, nuts. On the bright side, this opens up the field to any number of Rocklahoma-playing band members. (Heh, heh, I said "members.") I nominate
Taime Downe, if only because his involvement will definitely cause the "rejected Suicide Girl" quotient of potential ladies to go up up up.
Madonna's next album will
not be called
Licorice, nor will it be coming out in April. (Side note: How much do I love that the e-mail age has resulted in Madonna publicist Liz Rosenberg issuing dictation-style denials like "Sirius does not know what they are talking about. Wrong title. Release date wrong etc." to the media? At least we know that her assistant isn't handling her BlackBerry for her.) [
