A few gossip blogs are claiming that
Little Jonathan Winery is actually the brainchild of one Lil Jon, so get out your pimp cups, etc., etc. Now, it's nothing new for musicians to head into the grape fields in search of new revenue streams (especially given all the problems Jon's label, TVT, has been
having lately), but I have a nagging suspicion that this "discovery" is actually the result of some reading-comprehension-challenged blogger in need of an easy joke for the purpose of propping up pageviews. (OK, OK, it's the whole easiness of the "LOL he spelled out Little
and his name!! LOL" joke that's really doing it for me.) Feel free to speculate as to whether or not this wine is actually legit, but I'm personally going to hold out until noted vintner
Maynard James Keenan weighs in before I go making any orders for cases. [

Lil Jon's having a great day! He finally escaped the clutches of TVT Records, although it took TVT's bankruptcy and purchase by the digital-music distributor The Orchard for this glorious moment to come about. Lil Jon has agreed to withdraw his massive lawsuit against the Orchard in exchange for the rights to his long awaited masterpiece Crunk Rock, while The Orchard gets to keep his catalog and reissue it digitally. Sounds like a win/win. Make your own "WHHHAAAAT?" or "YEEEAHHHH!" joke here. [Marketwatch]
