Dr. Dre Scores Wins In Court, Won’t Have To Pay Estranged Wife $1.5M
Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Dr. Dre‘s divorce lawyers are getting some nice holiday gifts. A judge has nixed Nicole Young’s request that the Compton producer pay her $1.5M for expenses that include security. Apparently, Nicole Young has been receiving death threats (which absolutely no one should condone). The news about Dre not having to pay up (for now, since his estranged wife is still seeking $5M) came yesterday (Oct. 1). Reports TMZ: Nicole’s lawyers were in court this morning, telling the judge Nicole needs the $1.5 million for security because she’s been receiving death threats. The money would also go for other expenses. Some of the people commenting on the divorce have said things like, “If she dies, she dies,” and “For a small fee she can disappear.” The judge rejected her claim, ...

Kid A Reaches Adulthood: Radiohead’s Mesmerizing Fourth Record Turns 20
A little over three years after releasing their atmospheric masterpiece OK Computer, Radiohead set the tone for the rest of their career with Kid A: a radical and beautifully bizarre collection that relied less on guitars, more on fragmented electronics and ambient experimentation. As writer Zev Borow observed in SPIN’s November 2000 issue, Radiohead’s fourth LP was the most anticipated rock album since Nirvana’s In Utero. But Radiohead did little to promote it, eschewing press interviews and promotional photoshoots. Critics weren’t provided with advanced copies, and there wasn’t a music video. In a clear sign of the times, Kid A was leaked on Napster three weeks ahead of its release — shocking an unsuspecting public with its beguiling rhythms. With Kid A, released 20 years ago today, Radi...

Here’s Lenny Kravitz’s Secret to His Friendship With Lisa Bonet & Jason Momoa
“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate,” Kravitz told the publication. “We just do it because that’s what you do.

Literally the moment we met, we were like, ‘Oh, yeah. I love this dude.’ ” As for his 31-year-old daughter, singer and actress Zoë, the rocker deemed her “the most real person I know.” “Just having two parents who were known in the world,” he continued. “The comparisons.
