O?REILLY TO DISCUSS EVERCLEAR?S ?HATER?
Everclear?s controversial video for their latest track ?Hater? has stirred up so much controversy on the Internet that frontman Art Alexis will appear as a guest on Bill O?Reilly?s The O?Reilly Factor tonight to discuss the clip. The video features a fictional ?Hater Jesus? character and takes a sinful comedic look at those who hate in the name of religion.

The O?Reilly Factor airs tonight at 7 PM on FOX News.
INXS SINGER HONORED IN FILM
INXS singer Michael Hutchence died in a hotel in Sydney, Australia back in 1997, and the events surrounding his death made world headlines. The singer died either of suicide or accidental death via autoerotic asphyxiation at the age of 37, and now some filmmakers would like to honor his memory by telling his story. Producer Clark Westerman and video director Nick Egan are working on a project called Slide Away, according to Reuters, which is a story about the man that Hutchence was, not the seedy details of his passing. Egan directed many of INXS? videos throughout their career. No word when the film will be released.
JOY DIVISON GET UNDER CONTROL
Famed photographer and video director Anton Corbijn is currently in England directing Control, a new film about the life of late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis. Rising star Harry Treadway plays Joy Division drummer Stephen Morris and he says that it?s the music that drew him to the part. ?I love them. It?s bizarre because I got into their music about a year and a half ago. It is just absolutely mind-blowing music. The fact that so many people, well, strangely a lot of people do, that I?ve been speaking to recently, do know about them but general people, a lot of people aren?t aware of them, and you say, ?Love Will Tear Us Apart,? and they go, ?Oh yeah.? But the 50 songs or whatever that they recorded are unbelievable and what they did by mixing the sort of Kraft Work influence with the late punk in England is complete genius.? Harry Treadway and his twin brother Luke currently star in Brothers of the Head, a fake documentary about the lives of Siamese twins that form a rock band in the ?70s. Brothers of the Head is in theatres now.
BREAKING BENJAMIN BECOMES PHOBIC TODAY
Breaking Benjamin releases its third album today (Tuesday, August 8th), called Phobia. The Pennsylvania-based group spent most of the last year working on the disc, and frontman Ben Burnley told LAUNCH that it was well worth the time and effort: "It seemed like there was no end to me finishing this thing, but I got it done. Everybody did a really good job and we had as good of a time as you possibly could have for doing a CD in a studio. And, you know, we just put our heart and soul into it and I put my heart and soul into it, and hopefully that'll translate to the listener." Phobia follows the band's platinum 2004 sophomore effort, We Are Not Alone. An acoustic version of the album's first single, "The Diary Of Jane," is included on all copies of the first pressing of Phobia and will be deleted immediately after the initial release.
TOOL FANS INJURED AT SAN DIEGO FESTIVAL
At least 15 fans were injured Saturday night (August 5th) at a Tool concert in San Diego, when the crowd rushed forward to see the band as they took the stage. The concert was the final act of an all-day outdoor music festival held in the parking lot of the Qualcomm Stadium.
The crowd had been getting increasingly excited before the show began, chanting the band's name and pressing forward. After Tool finally appeared, several people were trampled by the overeager crowd as it pushed forward. The band stopped playing for several minutes during their second song, at which point singer Maynard James Keenan asked the crowd to back up and to "mellow out," according to blabbermouth.net. A number of fans who had been injured by the crowd were taken by ambulance to area hospitals.
Some video footage of the event has been posted at NBCSanDiego.com.

"Rising star Harry Treadway..."
Thanks for calling him a rising star ('cause he is one) but it's Treadaway not Treadway.
