Christina Millian’s hellish experience

It seems that these old myths about marriage being like Hell just won’t ever die. Even Christina Millian is subscribing to them. This is what the singer had to say about her brief marriage with The Game that ended last year: “I feel brand new. I’ve been to hell and back, but I’ve survived. I’m stronger for it and now I’m ready for the next phase of my life. I learned a lot about myself this year. I learned what I can handle. I learned how much I can take.” Funny thing about how much one can take… it always seems to be able to go a notch higher than previously expected. Hopefully Christina Millian won’t have the chance to verify that myth as well.

Elvis Presley Estate Suing Music Publisher

Elvis Presley Enterprises has filed a lawsuit against music publisher Chrysalis Music Group, claiming that they owe them as much as $5 million in royalty payments. EPE, which owns a 50% interest in the King of Rock n Roll’s music, filed the lawsuit last week and claim that Chrysalis breached an agreement by “failing to properly collect, account for and pay its owed money”. It sounds like the estate has a long and boring court battle in the future. This is something that the Michael Jackson estate is likely to deal with in the future too so those guys better take some notes.
