Paolo Nutini - Rocker Nutini Scraps Us Tour With Matthews

Scottish singer PAOLO NUTINI has been forced to scrap his upcoming U.S. tour with legendary rocker DAVE MATTHEWS due to recording commitments.

The Last Request star was set to accompany Grammy-winner Matthews on several stateside gigs next month (Jul08), but had to pull out because of his hectic schedule recording his second LP.

The star explains in his online blog, "It is with massive regret we've had to pull out of the Dave Matthews tour next month.

"Making the record is the number one priority, so we don't have the time for a month on the road."

Nutini shot to fame in the U.K. in 2006 with the release of his debut album These Streets reaching number three in the U.K. album chart.

Jerry Hall - Hall To Daughters Dont Fall For A Man Like Jagger

Former supermodel JERRY HALL has banned her daughters from marrying men like SIR MICK JAGGER - because the rocker was a serial womaniser.

The Texan beauty insists her 23-year relationship with the Rolling Stones singer was devastated by his infidelity.

And now the 51-year-old is determined not to let her daughters Elizabeth, 21, and Georgia-May, 16, repeat her mistakes.

She says, "No, never (would I allow them to date womanisers).

"But I don't think they would. They have far more confidence than I did, and they have great boundaries. It took me longer to learn those.

"I probably stayed with him for longer than I should have done."

Hall has two other children with ex-husband Jagger: James, 22, and Gabriel, ten. The couple split in 1999 after nine years of marriage.

Lord of the Rings heirs sue New Line Cinema

The heirs to the estate of author JRR Tolkien are suing the producer of 'The Lord of the Rings' movies, New Line Cinema, over profits from the blockbuster trilogy.
The trustees of the writer's British charity, The Tolkien Trust, and the original publishers of 'The Lord of the Rings', HarperCollins, have cited a failure to pay a contractually agreed 7.5% of gross profit for the three films based on 'The Lord of the Rings' novels.
They are seeking in excess of $150m in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and a court order giving the trust a right to terminate New Line's rights to make more films based on the author's writings, including 'The Hobbit', according to the statement.
The suit follows 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson's lawsuit against New Line for underpayment that was settled in December. When that deal was finalised, Jackson signed on to be executive producer of 'The Hobbit'.
New Line, a division of global media conglomerate Time Warner Inc, declined to comment on the new suit.
A statement from the trustees said: "New Line has not paid the plaintiffs even one penny of its contractual share of gross receipts despite the billions of dollars of gross revenue generated by these wildly successful motion pictures."
"To make matters worse, to date New Line has even prevented the plaintiffs from auditing the last two films of the series."
The trustees were paid an upfront fee of about $62,500 in an "upfront sequel fee" and nothing more, trustee spokesman Lonnie Soury said.
The three movies, 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring', 'The Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers' and 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King', took in nearly $3bn at worldwide box offices.
