• The Killers are compiling an album full of B-sides and compilation tracks to release at the end of the year (a.k.a. Christmas). The collection will help bridge the gap between those who actually have access to the U.K. singles and those who have no idea how to use file-sharing software. Among the songs included are “All the Pretty Faces,” Spider-Man 3's “Move Away” and a cover of Joy Division's “Shadowplay.”

• Speaking of Joy Division, their classic single “Love Will Tear Us Apart” will be released for the third time on September 24th to coincide with the theatrical arrival of the Ian Curtis biopic Control. More details about the Joy Division album reissues have also emerged: A second disc of live material will accompany each album.

• The rapper Saigon, famous for screwing over Turtle on the HBO show Entourage, was arrested last night in Manhattan after a car search following a traffic violation found a weapon. The weapon in question: a knife.

• Slash will join the literary ranks of Keith Richards by putting down his guitar and picking up a pen. Slash is nearly finished with an autobiography that will take aim at all those GN’R rumors that have circulated over the years.

• Foxy Brown predictably had her probation revoked after smacking a neighbor with a Blackberry and leaving the city without permission only to go violate New Jersey traffic laws. Brown will remain behind bars until a September 7th court date.
