A celebrity-backed vodka company is suffering a massive hangover as it is embroiled in a vicious $15 million court battle. Investor Joseph Lehey has filed a complaint alleging that he poured $7.5 million into the Madea Vodka brand but that its creators squandered money on their own salaries, instead of developing the swanky brand. Meanwhile, the defendants – scientist Dr Tim Goldburt and co-founders Matt Sandy and David Perillo – allege in court documents that Lehey is “a desperate, irrational and potentially violent individual, who has engaged in threats of physical violence” against them. The luxury liquor has become popular in elite circles for its hi-tech bottle, which displays glowing personalised messages of up to 240 characters. It flaunts celebs like Jon Bon Jovi, Fran Drescher and Meryl Streep on its website and boasts “Wi-Fi-capable, electronically-powered illuminated display”.

X Factor judge Tulisa’s boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Fazer has opened up about their secret romance — and revealed that they have been talking about starting a family. Fazer, real name Richard Rawson, told UK magazine Heat that he wants to have children with the 23-year-old singer in the future. He said: “We’ll definitely have kids one day. I’ve always wanted children for as long as I can remember. You can just imagine them running around your feet like Mini-Me’s.” He added that in the meantime, they’re happy to practise their parenting skills by looking after fellow band member Dappy’s two kids. “It’s great because Dappy has Milo and Gino, so we can just play with them, then give them back when they get a bit annoying. It’s definitely something I want one day, though,” he said. Speaking about the increased level of attention his girlfriend’s been getting from men since she joined the X Factor’s judging panel, the 24-year-old musician says he takes the potential competition as a compliment. He said: “I love it that guys fancy her. It’s far better than them saying, ‘Fazer, what the f*** are you doing with her?’ It’s good.”

Jack Osbourne believes that his rocker dad Ozzy will outlive him. His prediction comes after Ozzy, 62, found out that he is as fit as a 30-year-old man at a recent medical, and now Jack reckons he’ll live to be 900. “He’s great. He always has physicals and last time the doctor said he was as fit as a 30-year-old, that’s pretty good going for a 62-year-old man who’s had a wild life. He’s happy about that,” Jack told Star magazine. “Motorbikes can’t kill him, drugs can’t kill him. He’s one of those guys who will live to like, 900 years old, and still be complaining about everything and laughing. We joke that he’s going to outlive me.” Jack — who is expecting his first child with fiancée Lisa Stelly — also revealed that while making a recent documentary about his dad, they avoided spending too much quality time together for the sake of their relationship. “I didn’t actually spend that much one-on-one time with my dad. My new documentary is one thing but sacrificing our relationship for the sake of entertainment is not something I’m into any more. “We gave up so much doing The Osbournes with certain moments between me and my dad.”

It is not yet known what the reason for his axing is but he’s said to be upset about the news. A source told the newspaper: “Frankie is devastated but he has broken a golden rule so producers had no option but to axe him. He had an extra boost from being kept in at the weekend when he thought he was going to go. “But now his dream is officially over and he only has himself to blame.” A statement from The X Factor has now been released. Frankie said: “I’d like to apologise to Gary, my fellow contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today [Tues Nov 8], I will no longer be in The X Factor. “My life during the show has gone out of control and my behaviour off stage has over-stepped the rules of the competition. I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.” A spokesperson for the show added: “Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules. He is going to take some time out before continuing his career as a singer. We wish him all the best for his future.”

Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance and performance at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas recently. The 48-year old actor, who was in town to premiere “The Rum Diary” at the Austin Film Festival, jammed with ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons and musician Bill Carter for a 90-minute concert. People reports that the attendance for the show was triple the capacity of the venue and that the crowd went absolutely nuts for Johnny. When does the crowd not go nuts when he’s involved? And considering how rare he does these shows, I would have fainted if I was there for it.

Daughtry has recently premiered the music video for their new single “Crawling Back to You” via VEVO. The track is the first official cut from the rock band’s upcoming album “Break the Spell”, which is due out on November 21st. I enjoyed their first album but not so much the follow up, so I’m really interested in the music that they’ll deliver on this new record. I’m just hoping that they deliver a little more rock for their hardcore fans because “Crawling Back to You” sounds more pop than anything. As for the video it’s a super simplistic performance video with different camera angles thrown in to make it interesting.

Aerosmith was set to have a concert in Paraguay this week but unfortunately, the event was cancelled abruptly as lead singer Steven Tyler suffered an injury after falling in the shower. As a result of the fall, the rock star reportedly knocked out several teeth. The injury may not seem serious but it’s going to be hard singing when your mouth is numb from whatever medication he’ll be given to take away the pain of getting his teeth knocked out. And would anyone really want to see him open his toothless mouth for concertgoers? I’m sure they’ll reschedule to make up for it.

Even if fans prefer more intimate concerts in order to be able to see their idols up close, there are artists who are afraid of concerts in small spaces. Chris Martin, lead singer of the band Coldplay, fears that fans can feel the smell of his sweat when he’s on stage. Chris Martin said in an interview that he’d rather play in a stadium than in a small space, because he does not want the audience to feel bad odors coming from the stage. “In a restricted space, people can smell you better, which is a bad thing,” admitted Chris Martin. “On the stadium is in some ways, easier, because no one will feel offended because of the smell you emanate” he said. Despite this, the musician says he prefers more intimate concerts when he wants to see his favorite artists.
