Amy: 'I Won't Let Him Divorce Me'

(Jan. 17) - Amy Winehouse isn't having it. Although her jailed husband instructed a lawyer to file for divorce, she's not mentally divvying up their stuff. "I still love my Blake. I won't let him divorce me," she tells a British newspaper, according to a PEOPLE report.
Blake Fielder-Civil is serving time for assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Even so, Winehouse, 25, said their forced separation doesn't mean she isn't going to have "some fun" and a "good time." She's been seen hanging out in St. Lucia with rugby player-turned-actor Josh Bowman, an interlude she called "a holiday thing" while she waits for "my Blake."

U2 Reveals New Album Track List

U2 has unveiled the track list for its new album, "No Line on the Horizon," due March 3 from Interscope. The 11-song set is led by the single "Get on Your Boots," which premieres Monday (Jan. 19) on Dublin's 2FM. It will be released digitally Feb. 15 and physically the following day.

The new album blends such classic U2 rockers as "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" and "Get on Your Boots" with more experimental fare like the seven-minute "Moment of Surrender" and "Fez -- Being Born." The former is an electro-leaning track with an Eastern-inspired scale in the chorus, making it one of the weirder U2 tracks in decades.

Sources say U2 recorded enough material with producers Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno and Steve Lillywhite for an entire separate album, but it is unknown if any of it will see the light of day.

As previously reported, "No Line on the Horizon" will be available in five different incarnations.
U2 is expected to tour this summer, its first outing since signing a multi-rights deal with Live Nation last March. The group will perform "Get on Your Boots" Feb. 18 at the BRIT Awards ceremony in London.


Here is the track listing for "No Line on the Horizon":

"No Line on the Horizon"
"Magnificent"
"Moment of Surrender"
"Unknown Caller"
"I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight"
"Get On Your Boots"
"Stand Up Comedy"
"Fez -- Being Born"
"White As Snow"
"Breathe"
"Cedars of Lebanon"

Aerosmith cancel Venezuelan Gig

Aerosmith have cancelled a gig in Venezuela after guitarist Joe Perry developed "unforeseen complications" with his replacement knee.

Perry, 58, had been forced to undergo emergency surgery, a spokeswoman said in a statement.

The veteran rock band were due to headline Solid Fest in Caracas on 1 February in what would have been their first Venezuelan concert.

Singer Steven Tyler said the band hoped "to see everyone there soon".

"Playing Venezuela was my idea of a perfect way to start the New Year," he added in the statement.

"But having heard Joe had to revisit the hospital this month, the band are truly disappointed we can't be in Caracas and we hope to see everyone there soon."Perry had his replacement knee operation last March.

Last May, Tyler has said he had checked into a rehab unit because he needed to find a "safe environment" to recover from foot surgery.

He issued the statement following reports that he had entered a Los Angeles clinic.

Tyler, 60, had problems with drugs and alcohol in the 1970s and 1980s before completing rehabilitation in 1986.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon's Baby-Making Plans

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon may not be poppin' out babies right now, but it's gonna happen.

"We're definitely into planning a family and stuff but when everything calms down and we get the time," Cannon told me earlier today after finishing up a workout at Gatorade's G Gym at Village at the Yard at Sundance. "We're just running and gunning now and enjoying being newlyweds."

Also on the couple's agenda? Working together! But not on a musical collaboration. So what gives?

"It'll be something more out of fun than serious," Cannon said. "We're going to do some comedy stuff together. You'll see us this year doing some really funny stuff."

Cannon is not only deejaying tonight's House of Hype party for Carey's new movie, Push, but he also has his own flick at Sundance to promote, the indie psycho-thriller The Killing Room.

He plays a young homeless guy opposite Chloƫ Sevigny and Timothy Hutton. "It was my first real chance to be a serious method actor," Cannon said. "I lost like 20 pounds for the role. I didn't eat. I slept outside. I didn't comb my hair for a month. I went into seclusion."

(He's not expecting his wife to dig Killing too much because "she likes fun, lighthearted comedies.")

And after the film festival, it's off to Washington, D.C., for the Inaugural and some big dreams. Cannon laughed, "I want to be the official White House deejay."

Metallica Discuss Rock Hall Of Fame Induction

There are few other things rock boys and girls love arguing about more than who should or shouldn't be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Even real live rock stars like Metallica have opinions about this. The venerated metal band will be part of the induction class of 2009 alongside other bold names like Run-DMC. We caught up with the guys and asked them how it feels to be inducted. We also asked them which artists they would nominate to join them in the Rock Hall. So who did the guys pick? Motorhead, Deep Purple...and Rush.
