Wu-Tang Team with Harrison, Frusciante for Beatles Cover

As confirmed by a spokesperson, Wu-Tang Clan‘s forthcoming record 8 Diagrams, due Nov. 13 via SRC, will in fact feature a cover of the Beatles‘ tune “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and feature contributions from Dhani Harrison, son late Beatle and song author George Harrison, and Red Hot Chili Pepper axeman John Frusciante. The tune, condensed to “Gently Weeps” on the hip-hop collective’s record, features the young Harrison strumming an acoustic guitar while Frusciante turns out electric fingerings. But lyrically, Wu-Tang’s “Gently Weeps” explores new territory, narrating the relationship between a heroin dealer and user, the former acted out in rhymes by Ghostface, while the latter is portrayed by Method Man.

Pete Doherty to Appear on ‘Weakest Link’

In a possibly futile attempt to prove to former girlfriend Kate Moss that he’s not all sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll, troublesome Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty will appear on Britain’s brainy TV show The Weakest Link, U.K.’s Yahoo Music reports. “People might not realize it, but I am well-educated and well-read. I can prove to people there is more to me than just drugs,” Doherty explained. And an unnamed Yahoo Music source claims Doherty engaging in battle of the brains with host Anne Robinson may work: “Kate has this romantic notion of love and finds intelligence a huge turn-on… Pete thinks going on the show will prove to her that he does have the depth and IQ that she loves so much.”
