Smashing Pumpkins die-hards are in a tizzy--and some may even be in legal hot water--after allegedly stolen artwork from the band's forthcoming album, Zeitgeist, made its way to the Internet. According to a Pumpkins chronicler at rateyourmusic.com, this is how it went down: Two fans snuck into the SP rehearsal space and took copies of some promotional photos that haven't been released. They posted one on this forum, and someone got into their photo-bucket, and viola, they were leaking all over the net. ' Now, the person who unwillingly leaked the photos is being held in the 18th precinct in Chicago. The Pumpkins/ Their Management/The Record Company, someone, is pressing FELONY charges on them. For petty theft of a few pictures.

The Grammy, coming up on its 50th birthday, is finally getting a home of its own. A Grammy museum, now under construction here, is scheduled to open in September 2008, across the street from the Staples Center, where next year's 50th annual Grammy Awards will be staged. "On May 25, 1957, five men gathered at the old Brown Derby in Hollywood and established the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences," Academy President Neil Portnow told reporters Tuesday. "A year later, they held their first event, a little sit-down dinner, to honor excellence in recorded music." A half-century later, the Recording Academy claims some 18,000 members and is laying plans for a yearlong series of events marking the milestone. Front and center among them is the 50th annual Grammy Awards, to be broadcast live on CBS on Feb. 10. Nominees will be announced Dec. 6

Prince is to play 21 concerts in London this summer, his only European dates of the year, with tickets priced at £31.21, a reference to his album 3121. The 48-year-old, known for hits such as Kiss and Raspberry Beret, has prepared 150 songs to perform on the tour. Prince - who famously changed his name to a squiggle symbol in the 1990s after falling out with his record label - added that he would be house-hunting in the British capital. Tickets for the O2 arena gigs, the first of which will be on 1 August, go on sale on Friday at 0900 BST.
