"Let's be honest, guys, it's wonderful to be inducted," said the Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian, addressing a roomful of reporters. "But we did three years of very hard work. Harvey Fuqua and the Moonglows did close to forty. I just want to keep our perspective alive." Sebastian also attributed the Spoonful's fraternal longevity to never reaching "the level of dysfunctionality that other groups have."

When Stevie Wonder and Bette Midler announced the winner for Album of the Year at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards, the real Slim Shady was not asked to stand up.

NEW YORK (AP) - After spending more than two years touring with the musical ``Sunset Boulevard,'' Petula Clark says it's nice to be able to sing her own songs again.

The British singer, best known for hits such as ``Downtown,'' is featured this week in her own PBS special, ``Petula Clark in Concert: A Sign of the Times'' (check local listings). Clark finished up a U.S. tour of ``Sunset Boulevard'' last year.

``In the (United) States over the last few years, I've been doing more sort of like theater than concerts,'' Clark told The Associated Press. ``The idea of doing a concert, a live concert show in the States seemed to be quite appealing.''

Besides the concert, Clark has been working on a new album she hopes to release sometime next year, and plans to perform several shows with Richard Carpenter.

There's a reason why Madonna, one of the most popular singers in the known universe, has never released a live album, and it's one that will become apparent to anyone who catches the legendary singer on tour this summer. 
Madonna has never shied away from the spectacular or the controversial as she's transformed her image from tramp to vamp and beyond over the past two decades with ease. And for "The Drowned World Tour," her first in eight years and one that covers 12 cities and 29 dates in America alone, the singer is pulling out all the stops, whether she's donning a cowboy outfit for a suggestive hoe-down, dabbling in a bit of punk masochism or dressing up in geisha gear. 

The show is anything but a career retrospective, drawing the bulk of its selections from the more recent albums "Music" and "Ray of Light," with the early hit "Holiday" making a token appearance for those bustier-sporting golden oldies lovers. "I just can't imagine doing stuff like 'Like A Virgin' and 'Material Girl' and things like that," Madonna told Loder. "I don't know who that person is! She's a really sort of Neanderthal version of me. Really amoeba, unformed." 

Regardless of her song selection, the spectacle of a Madonna concert is once again making an impression on both new and long-time fans. 

"She's so cool that you feel remarkably uncool in her presence," "Live with Regis and Kelly" co-host Kelly Ripa said during an impromptu review after seeing the star perform at New York's Madison Square Garden. "She's just amazing."

Eminem is being sued, Dec 08, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- again. This time, it's by a childhood chum who claims the rapper defamed him in the song "Brain Damage," from the album "The Slim Shady LP." 

DeAngelo Bailey, a sanitation worker who wants a rap career, is suing his former grade school classmate for $1 million, claiming the tune damaged his reputation. 

The Detroit Free Press printed lyrics from the song: "I was harassed daily by this fat kid named DeAngelo Bailey. An eighth-grader who acted so obnoxious, 'cause his father boxes. So every day he'd shove me into the lockers." Bailey denies harassing or beating up Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III. 

In the past, Eminem has been sued by his ex-wife, Kim, and his mother.
