Briefly: Kenny Chesney, Audioslave, Wilco, Tom Waits
Actress Renee Zellweger has filed to have her four-mouth marriage to country star Kenny Chesney annulled.
In court papers, Zellweger reportedly cited "fraud" as the reason for the annulment, but didn't provide further details.
Audioslave will release the DVD/CD set "Live in Cuba" on Oct. 11. The group became the first American rock band to perform in Cuba on May 6, when it played for more than 60,000 fans at Anti-Imperialist Plaza in Havana.
Wilco will drop their first live album, "Kicking Television--Live In Chicago," Nov. 1. The two-CD set was recorded over four nights in May at the Vic Theatre.
Tom Waits has filed a civil lawsuit in Germany against against Opel, a GM division, for running an advertisement in Scandinavia that he says features music and vocals similar to his.
"Apparently the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad--ideally naked and purring on the hood of a new car. I have adamantly and repeatedly refused this dubious honor," Waits said in a statement. "While the court can't make me active in radio, I am asking it to make me radioactive to advertisers."
