Is Sheryl quitting music!??! I found these two articles! Strange... I don't think I believe a word of them! http://www.mtvasia.com/News/International/Items/0005/0005177.html Singer Coutney Love has given up music and taken on a new career -- doing "absolutely nothing." Love, who has been dating "Shanghai Noon" star Owen Wilson for two years, has abandoned the recording studio she built in her Los Angeles home last year (1999) to "intentionally do nothing." The musician believes working "too hard" led to her life feeling difficult and exhausting and so she has now sworn off music. Love says, "I am just hanging out with Owen we have been dating for two years. "I haven't been doing anything. I have intentionally done nothing and I am planning to do nothing. I was working so hard for the past five years that now I do nothing. I have just bought two new puppies and looking after them is the most I am prepared to do. I am not doing any music." - -- Sofia Hemphill (WENN) But, there's also this!: http://www.mtvasia.com/News/International/Items/0005/0005198.html The news we ran last week entitled Courtney Love Quits Music was a mistake, explains our Wenn (World Entertainment Network News) sources. According to Wenn correspondent Sofia Hemphill, the interview was with Sheryl Crow, not Courtney Love and it was the former who was dating "Shanghai Noon" actor Owen Wilson for two years. The staff and management would like to express their sincerest apologies to the Love/Hole management for any damages or grievances caused. MTVAsia Online would also like to extend their appreciation to the party who spotted the mistake right away. Any thoughts??????!!!!!

(Is there any better way to put it?) Anyhow, I'm finding many items that are of Sheryl (It looks like Sheryl) and they are quite... well she's more naked than I've ever seen her before. Items include a Maxim issue from the UK ("Sherl Crow Unplugged Undressed In Here") and quite a few autographed posters. Any comments? Did I miss some sex symbol stage in Sheryl's career? I'm sorry if this seems nieve but I've quite honestly never seen this side of her before.

I think the interviewer is an idiot. She obviously mixed up two interviews. I think Love is doing nothing, and Sheryl is with Owen and working on her next album. I am just glad I didn't write that. Working for MTVAsia was the highlight of that person's career - she'll be selling french fries at McDonalds in a few days. BTW, I saw Shanghai Noon last night, and it was hilarious.

Anyway, I think the quotes are being taken out of context..Sheryl meant that she was taking 1999 off, not quitting music forever. I've read quite a few articles last summer where she said the same thing, so it comes as pretty much no surprise that she was pretty much quiet last year (well not exatcly she did quite a bit of charity work and award show type of stuff)..but I'm pretty sure she's working again based on what someone posted a couple of weeks ago from the Lorena mailing list that she's working w/ her again. If Sheryl really was retiring, you would find out here or on the fan forum first and it would be in a more reputable source like cnn or mtv or something. I always find it amusing when non North American media sources print these stories about American celebs when the story is no where to be found in any American press (Like the British report that Matthew Perry needed a liver transplant). - ---------------------------------------------------- Sheryl Crow : If It Makes You Happy Join Care2.com's Race for the Rain Forest!

According to the e-mail message, a number of people became ill with a viral infection after handling a sponge contained in a package marked, "A gift for you from the Klingerman Foundation." The e-mail is a hoax. There is no "Klingerman virus," and the information in the e-mail notice is untrue.

Christina, You did a great job up until this point, but I'm afraid that I must take you to task for this last part. First off, let's makes sure that we're using US dollars here (since that *is* what Sheryl is paid in). Wholesale price on CD's in the US is in the $9.50 to $10.50 range (depending on the size of the account) and avergaes just over $9.70. So if total artist royalties per CD is around $3 (which would probably be a little low in Sheryl's case, as she could command a higher rate), that would mean the labels share would be around $9.50. The main thing is, this is NOT all profit. Yes, the cost to produce a single CD is around $1, but the label absorbs ALL the cost of producing over 1 million of them at one time. In the case of the Central Park CD, this failed to even crack the top 100, and lots of them are still sitting in the warehouses. We won't even get into the expense of maintaining a plant, shipping form the plant and warehousing. On a regular album, after it's released, you then have to go about the very expensive task of promoting it. Sorry, but stations don't add a song to their playlist, just because it's Sheryl Crow (especially as singles by her are hardly ever released in the US). People are hired by the label to distribute the thousands of promo-single CD's (that the label has also PAID to produce) to stations in an effort to get airtime. Also, posters are made up, flyers sent out and nice life size displays (ie. The Globe Sessions) are made and distributed to stores. The label also foots the bill for your favorite stars to visit with radio stations/television shows etc. to promote the CD. On lesser known artists, they also usually underwrite part of the tour or pay to have the artist be an opening act on someone else's tour. Their are many other expenses that eat away the labels cut, but this gives you a good start into them. For the effort they put out, the labels actual profit is much less than the artists share (as it should be). If self-distribution was an easy thing to do, than Prince would have kept doing it himself and not very quickly jumped to another label. No artist wants to absorb ALL the risks and have to do all the things that labels do to promote albums, which is why even the biggest names continue to re-sign contracts with them.
