50 Cent Denies Ciara Marriage

50 CENT's representative has brushed off internet rumours suggesting the rap superstar has secretly wed R+B singer CIARA.
Gossip sites went crazy after footage of 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, wearing a wedding band first appeared online.
But his spokeswoman insists the rap star plays a married man in his new film Microwave Park, and the photos come from the Louisiana set.
But that hasn't stopped gossips from claiming the ring is a sure sign that the In Da Club hitmaker and Goodies singer Ciara are man and wife.
50 has been romantically linked to Ciara after the pair posed topless for their video Can't Leave 'Em Alone last year (07).
But a spokesperson for 50 insists the rapper is not a married man.
A statement reads: "50 Cent is not engaged or married. He is currently in production on a film where the character he plays is married."
Last year (07) Ciara denied the romance rumours, insisting the rapper was "a really great friend," and adding, "Everybody turns everything into something else.
"They said we have a ranch in Atlanta. I just died laughing. It's amazing to hear the things people make up. It's funny."

Paul McCartney watched by Yoko Ono in Liverpool as Dave Grohl helps out

Sir Paul McCartney played a homecoming show at Liverpool's Anfield stadium in front of 36,000 fans last night (June 1).

The former Beatle headlined the event, which also saw performances from Kaiser Chiefs, The Zutons and a guest spot from Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, as part of the city's celebrations at being the European Capital Of Culture during 2008.

Playing a set that mixed songs from The Beatles, Wings and his solo work, McCartney was watched by John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono from the crowd as he also included her late husband's Give Peace A Chance' in the show.

Introduced onstage by comedian Peter Kay as "a local lad who's done very well for himself in the music game", McCartney's set included the likes 'Drive My Car', 'Blackbird', 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Yesterday', along with Wings songs 'Live And Let Die' and 'Jet', plus solo tracks including 'Flaming Pie'.

"Thank you for coming here in the City Of Culture, at the centre of the universe," McCartney told the crowd to loud cheers, adding, "I was born just down the road and I lived not far from here. Every time I come back to Liverpool all the memories come flooding back."

Later former Nirvana drummer Grohl � who often covers 'Band On The Run' in Foo Fighters � got to live out a school boy fantasy, joining McCartney on guitar for the Wings' track, before switching to drums for 'Back In The USSR' and show closer 'I Saw Her Standing There'.

However the highlight of the evening proved to be the loud crowd sing-a-longs to 'Let It Be' and 'Hey Jude'.

"You've been brilliant tonight," McCartney told the crowd. "I knew you would be."

Earlier the show, which was watched by footballers Wayne Rooney, Jamie Carragher and Liverpool FC manager Rafael Benitez, was opened by fellow Scousers The Zutons, before Leeds' Kaiser Chiefs got the crowd going ahead of McCartney's performance.

With a sound divine in equal parts by the progressive death metal of Sweden's Opeth, and the orchestrated gothic death/doom of November's Doom and former Paradise Lost, Dark Suns emerged from the city of Leipzig, Germany, in 1997. A showtime demonstration, Below Dark Illusion, appeared the following year, and an EP entitled Suffering the Psychopathic Results of Daily Blasphemy (and containing only matchless, 14-minute song) followed in 1999. By 2002, the band had amount to feature vocalist/drummer Niko Knappe, guitarists Maik Knappe and Tobias Gommlich, bassist Christoph Bormann, and keyboardist Thomas Bremer, and had recorded an impressive debut in the capably named Swanlike. This was followed by in time another critically acclaimed and ambitious musical composition simply called Existence, in 2005, by which time Gommlich had been replaced by guitar player Torsten Wenzel.
