• 50 Cent is peeved that his “I Still Kill” is being renamed “I Still Will” for TV airings. “I don't think they have a problem with the group the Killers being called the Killers,” the rapper says. “I don't think anyone's protesting that Guns N' Roses is called Guns N' Roses. I just think that their perception of me is dark, so they're going to ask for those things to be changed, you know what I mean?” This makes for a fun game. Velvet Dissolver. The Hex Crystals. Etc.

• Timbaland is already at work on the sequel to this year’s Shock Value. The producer announced on Anaheim’s KIIS 102.7 that he’s already recorded tracks with Akon, Linkin Park and Gwen Stefani.

• Displaying Timbaland-esque prolificacy, Ronnie Wood is already planning a second volume to his eponymous autobiography. Wood is also in talks to sell the movie rights — something Police guitarist (and photographer) Andy Summers has just done.

• Finally, as predicted, Radiohead and XL Recordings have come to a deal to release the band’s already-available In Rainbows on CD. The deal is only good for distribution outside of North America, where ATO is currently the frontrunner. No release date for the physical CD has been announced.

• By refusing to promote her album, Britney Spears is doing a remarkable job of promoting her album. On today’s Ryan Seacrest radio show, Spears abruptly ended an interview so she could shower. When questioned on the standing of her child custody battle, and whether she can once again see her kids unsupervised, Spears answered simply “My lawyers know about all that.” Blackout, on shelves now.
