Blind-Item Break: Which Rock Star Has A Contentious Relationship With His In-Laws? "Which rock star's mother-in-law said about him this week? 'He looks like a rat but he's a good father to the kids... But he's a miserable, rat-faced man.' " [popbitch]

Popbitch schools EMI chair Guy Hands on his label's soon-to-be-slashed fruit, flowers, and candles budget: "We wonder if Guy knows that while fruit, flowers and candles are often bought in the music industry, popbitch readers will know it has also been a useful accounting loophole that allowed unlimited money to be spent legitimately purchasing drugs and hookers. Primal Scream and Suede were defrauded by an accountant who used this 'fruit and flowers' loophole to steal half their money while Billy Idol supposedly favoured 'champagne and flowers.' Wonder who prefers candles?" [Popbitch]

Thanks to AnnaGawan for pointing out that the British gossip list Popbitch is now retracting yesterday's rumor about NME going Web-only: "Yesterday we reported a rumour that the print version of the NME was to close. We have been assured by NME, and accept, that any such rumour is entirely false and there is no such plan in place or in contemplation. We apologise to the publishers of the NME for this inaccuracy." They have not retracted the item about Steven Tyler's pedicure, however. (At least not yet.) [Popbitch]
