Bon Jovi has a documentary in the works to coincide with its 25 year anniversary. The band has recently brought a film crew out on the road to shoot interviews and other footage. Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple is behind the new film. Singer Jon Bon Jovi says he hopes to dig up some archived footage as well, but tells us he doesn't know exactly what to expect from the film: "I'm not sure. And I think that's partly the beauty of it and the fear that's driving it. I was interested because people have been offering us boatloads of money to write a memoir. And I'm not ready to write a biography yet because it's too soon. This story is half told. I'd like to catch the moments while the moments are happening. And look back on the 25 years while the moments are fresh. With this because I'm making it and it's either going to tell the truth or it's not coming out."

There's no word on when the DVD will come out.

Bon Jovi plans to announce a show at Central Park this summer.

Bon Jovi will tour Europe in May and June and then return from some U.S. dates in July.

Bryan Adams recently kicked off a solo acoustic tour, which stops in Albany, New York tonight (Friday, May 9th). He's playing a mixture of hits and tracks off his upcoming album, called 11. During the brief tour, Adams tells us he's stripping down the tunes and playing them acoustically: "They all work acoustically because they were all written on an acoustic guitar. The album started out as an acoustic record and we halfway through I sort of switched gears and decided to make sort of an acoustic rock record. When I play the songs live, it actually sort of led me into the path into this next tour -- my first North American acoustic tour. And I feel confident enough with these songs -- and songs in the past -- that the show is going to be more interesting. Just hearing the songs stripped down completely myself and the guitar."

Adams' new album will come out next Tuesday (May 13th). The set will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores nationwide and on WalMart.com in CD and MP3 format.

Adams recorded 11 -- named for its chronological order among his releases, as well as for the number of tracks it has -- in hotel rooms and backstage concert venues throughout Europe over the past two years.

Eight songs from Weezer's upcoming sixth album have leaked online, more than a month ahead of the record's planned June 24th release. According to NME.com, some of the tunes that have begun circulating on the Net include "Troublemaker," "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)" and the first single, "Pork and Beans," which tops the Modern Rock radio chart this week.

The self-titled disc, the third in Weezer's six-album catalog, has been nicknamed "the red album" due to its primary color.

A deluxe edition of the 10-track album will contain four bonus cuts.

There's no word yet on whether Weezer is considering following the recent example of Gnarls Barkley, who pushed up the release of their second album to combat online leaks.

Another modern rock group, Oasis, saw three previously unheard songs leak online earlier this week. A spokesperson claimed they were "old," but would not say whether they were going to appear on the band's next album.

A British coroner has raised concerns that emo music played a role in the suicide of 13-year-old My Chemical Romance fan Hannah Bond, according to NME.com. Bond hung herself from a bunk bed in her bedroom after informing her parents that she was going to kill herself and leaving a note signed "Living Disaster." The coroner investigating the girl's death, Roger Sykes, speculated that the girl was obsessed with bands like My Chemical Romance, saying, "The emo overtones concerning death and associating it with glamour I find very disturbing."

Bond's father, Ray, said at the inquest that his daughter had inflicted harm on herself previously as part of what she told him was an "emo initiation ceremony." Bond had also posted a picture of an emo fan with bloody wrists at her personal web page.

Her mother, Heather, said, "She called emo a fashion and I thought it was normal. Hannah was a normal girl. She had loads of friends. She could be a bit moody but I thought it was just because she was a teenager."

NME.com has received a number of responses to the case from fans of emo music, who largely rejected the coroner's suggestion that emo was a factor in Bond's death. One wrote, "I find it disgusting that small-minded people would assume that music has that much of an influence, that someone would kill themselves because of it," while another fan said, "I listen to My Chem, as do many of my friends, and we are happy people with happy lives."

Emo has been the center of controversy lately in Mexico as well, where fans of the music have been subjected to violence at the hands of other Mexican youth. My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way called for an end to the attacks during a recent concert in Mexico City.

Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington's side project, Dead By Sunrise, will make its live debut on Saturday (May 10th) at the 13th anniversary celebration of Club Tattoo, the tattoo parlor franchise that Bennington co-owns with Sean Dowdell. The event will take place at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona and will also feature a performance by Julien-K, which includes two members of Dead By Sunrise, as well as several other acts. Bennington has been working on the Dead By Sunrise album for the past couple of years and this will be the first public presentation of songs from that effort, which is tentatively due out later this year.

The first Club Tattoo opened its doors in 1995. The company now has four locations in Arizona, with a Las Vegas shop opening in 2009.

Bennington and his partners have also launched a men's clothing line called Ve'cel, which is sold through all the Club Tattoo outlets, as well as a line of shoes through Etnies.

Linkin Park will kick off this year's Projekt Revolution tour on July 16th in Boston. Ashes Divide, Chris Cornell and the Bravery will join the headliners on the main stage, while the Revolution Stage will feature Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, 10 Years, Armor for Sleep and Street Drum Corps.

Hip-hop soul icon Mary J. Blige has documented her triumph over substance abuse, poor self-esteem, bad relationships, and more on her recent albums No More Drama, Love & Life, The Breakthrough, and Growing Pains, spurring her to multi-platinum sales and numerous awards. Though the artist is in a strong and positive place these days, the struggle to overcome the past is never far from her mind.

So is Mary finally happy at last? "Well, I am. Because it's such a new place for me, but you have no idea how hard I have to work to continue being here," said Blige in a lengthy interview with the U.K.'s Observer newspaper. "When you come from so many damaged places you don't ever want to spiral back there, so you gotta continue to check yourself. You have to make sure that one drink is not turning into 20 drinks, or that you're not even thinking about going back to drugs, or that you continue not to react and get angry. But it's how you respond that determines how it's going to be."

Though the pain of losing friends and healing from past hurts never really disappears, Blige says she wouldn't change a thing. "'I believe everything happened for a reason and I would not trade my life, because if it didn't happen I would not be this person who continues to seek to be free, who continues to want to learn to be better, to love people better," she said.

Blige is currently on the urban adult radio charts with "Just Fine" and "Work That" from her current Growing Pains CD. After wrapping her co-headlining tour with Jay-Z this weekend, Blige then heads overseas for an international tour that will take her through Germany, the U.K., and Australia.

On Thursday (May 8th), rapper Foxy Brown avoided a trial and possibly some jail time by pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charge of menacing in a Brooklyn courtroom. MTV.com reports that rapper was sentenced to time serve and she wrote a letter of apology to the victim. Last July, Brown allegedly hit her neighbor, Arlene Raymond, in the face with a BlackBerry during an argument. The rapper was initially facing felony assault charges.

Brown's lawyer, Laura Dilimetin, said, "There was no penalty and we consider it a victorious day today, and we're moving forward so she can focus on her career, family and fans. She feels great. She's really happy and excited to move forward. We're very pleased with this outcome."

Brown has no further legal issues as she recently reached a plea deal in her Florida battery case. The rapper was accused of throwing glue and spitting on the owner of a beauty supply store. She was sentenced to six months probation, anger management classes, and 15 hours of community service.

The rapper completed an eight month prison term on April 18th. She was sent to jail after violating the terms of her probation from a misdemeanor assault conviction.

Brown will release her new album, Brooklyn's Don Diva, next Tuesday, May 13th.

Brown may still face a civil lawsuit from the owner of the beauty supply store. Raymond has already begun civil legal action against the rapper.

A biopic on the life of the Notorious B.I.G., Notorious, is currently in production with rapper Jamal Gravy Woolard playing the late rapper and Derek Luke taking on the role of Sean "Diddy" Combs. The mogul recently shared his thoughts on the work the cast has been putting in. Diddy told MTV.com, "It's rare that you get a movie made about you when you're still relevant, but (they) took on the challenge....People asked me years ago who you'd want to play me, and I said Derek Luke ... so it was just destined. I got to see him do his thing, and it was scary for me. I had to leave, 'cause he was acting just like me."

Diddy also shared his thoughts on Gravy's performance. He said, "Gravy, the guy playing B.I.G., it was just too eerie for me to be on that. Gravy's killing it. If I tell you he's killing it, then that's all we need to say, you know what I'm saying? I don't think anybody could have done a better job."

Former Bad Boy Records in-house producer and music supervisor for the movie, Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie, added, "It's a little creepy. You know he's not B.I.G., and we accepted that, (but all of) B.I.G.'s people ... looked to Gravy and said, 'You can play B.I.G. You could do it!' I believe that Gravy has studied hard enough; I think he got enough battle scars from the streets that he could pull it off. We're very happy that he's a part of it."

Diddy also shared that the movie is really a labor of love for the late rapper's mother, Voletta Wallace, who is played Angela Bassett in the movie. Diddy explained, "It's not my movie. A lot of people don't know this, but it's not my movie. It's Miss Wallace's movie. It's from a mother's perspective. I'm just there as support."

Notorious is scheduled to hit theaters in January.

3 Doors Down will include a couple of acoustic bonus tracks on the iTunes edition of the band's self-titled fourth album, according to Tunelab Music. The group has recorded unplugged versions of current single "It's Not My Time" and "It's The Only One You've Got" for the set, which is available for pre-order now. The album is due for release on May 20th.

3 Doors Down has announced the initial stretch of dates for the band's upcoming summer tour, which will also feature Staind and Hinder on the bill. The trek begins on July 7th in Maryland Heights, Missouri, with shows confirmed through August 27th in Seattle. More dates are expected to be announced in the weeks ahead as the band fills out its schedule.

3 Doors Down next plays on Saturday (May 10th) in Orlando, Florida.

The music of Coldplay will be used by the ESPN cable channel to promote awareness of soccer in the U.S., according to E! Online. The round-the-clock sports network will use the British band's music in commercials advertising the upcoming European Championship, which ESPN will carry live between June 7th and 29th. "Viva La Vida," the partial title track from the group's new album, will be used during in-studio segments and game highlights.

Soccer remains far behind sports like baseball, football and hockey in terms of popularity in the U.S., despite the importation of high-priced superstars like David Beckham from the U.K.

The game is hugely popular in Europe, South America and other parts of the world, where it is called football.

Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends, arrives in stores on June 17th.

The first single, "Violet Hill," was downloaded more than two million times after it was offered free for one week.

The title track is now also available online, while a third song, "A Spell A Rebel Yell," has been released in the U.K. on a seven-inch single with the latest issue of NME. The latter track will not be available anywhere else.

Madonna has officially announced a tour in support of her new hit album Hard Candy. Billboard.com reported on Thursday (May 8th) that the superstar will hit the road on August 23rd in Cardiff, Wales and play between 50 and 60 shows around the world for what will be billed as the Sweet and Sticky tour.

"I'm thrilled to be involved in another worldwide Madonna extravaganza," Arthur Fogel of Live Nation told Billboard. The upcoming tour is the first major sign of the 10-year deal Madonna recently signed with the company, reportedly worth $120 million. Fogel says ticket prices will be "basically the same as they've been the past two tours," which would mean they'd range from $55-$350.

Last month, British tabloid The Sun reported that Madonna will receive $25 million dollars to play two shows in Dubai later this year. It was rumored that one of the shows, for which she'd receive $15 million, is part her tour, while the other is a private party. A source told the paper that the private event would be the first in her career, and would fetch the superstar $10 million.

Newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have confirmed their secret wedding in the Bahamas, sharing the details with People magazine. The 38-year-old Grammy winner and the 27-year-old actor and singer were joined in a private ceremony on April 30th.

In an interview in the May 19th issue, the pair said that if anyone had been paying attention, some new tattoo work would have given the wedding away even before it took place. "One thing (few people) knew was we got tattoos a few weeks earlier. So anyone who saw my (Mrs. Cannon) tattoo wasn't surprised." Carey told the magazine.

Cannon added, "To me rings are special and exciting, but tattoos mean more than anything. They're forever and ever. They professed our love."

Cannon, the star and producer of the MTV sketch hit Wild 'N Out, said that they clicked instantly when Carey cast him as her boyfriend in the video for her new E=MC2 single, "Bye Bye."

"From the first time we sat down to discuss the video at the Beverly Hills Hotel, we connected," Cannon said. "We had so much in common spiritually, and we laugh at the same things. I didn't have to put on my Mac Daddy suave mode. I was able to be myself with her. We are both eternally 12 years old."

Carey added that she told "only about four people" about the sunset wedding. She flew in her pastor from New York to the Bahamas to perform the ceremony, where Cannon says he had to tell himself not to cry. Guests dined afterward on Maine lobster and drank Dom Perignon champagne.

The Cannons are already thinking about children, according to Mimi. "It's part of the whole purpose of getting married," Carey said. "I'd just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could."

Other details about the Carey-Cannon romance were reported this week by Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman, who says that the newlyweds have an ironclad prenuptial agreement.

Friedman further reported, "Mariah's cousin, Shawn McDonald, walked her down the aisle. And the Bahamas ceremony will not be the only one. When Mariah and Nick return from their honeymoon, expect a big party and maybe even a second ceremony, something not so secret, for all the singer's New York pals."
