'Music Notes': Pam and Poison Leader Settle
May 30 -- You'd think Pamela Anderson would have learned about the dangers of taping sex sessions with '80s rockers.
The actress and Poison lead singer Bret Michaels have settled their lawsuit against Internet Entertainment Group, which agreed to pay the pair a seven-figure sum and destroy all copies it acquired of their homemade sex video.
Anderson had previously sued the company over a similar video it distributed showing her having sex with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. The company settled out of court, and Anderson's marriage to Lee is now history, but the video lives on via the Internet.
The Michaels-Anderson tape was neverwidely distributed because their attorneys got a courtorder blocking the release.
As part of the settlement, IEG President Seth Warshavsky apologized for previously implying the company got the video from Michaels.
Spice Girl Spat
A close friend of British pop star Robbie Williams says a certain Spice Girl is anything but nice.
It seems Mel B aka Scary Spice, asked on a British TV show whether any of the Spices had ever dated Williams, replied, "He prefers men."
That caused Jonathan Wilkes, a childhood friend and current flatmate of Williams, to issue an angry denial. "Everyone has been saying since year dot that there is something going on between Rob and me. We ignore it," he told The Sun tabloid.
"Rob doesn't want to get in a slagging match — he's never said anything bad about her so she should keep her mouth tightly buttoned," Wilkes said. "He's always said record sales speak for themselves. She should look after her business and leave Rob to look after his. She's just sad."
Clapton's Last Tour?
Eric Clapton fans had better catch his Reptile tour, because the guitar legend says it will probably be the last.
Clapton told Rolling Stone Online that even when the tour was in the planning stages, he had been thinking it might be his last. And now that he's been on the road for a few weeks, he's beginning to think "this is definitely the last time."
