"Morrissey's a Twat”, Peter Hook

Perhaps in an effort to divert attention away from his autograph fraud, former New Order and Joy Division bassist Peter Hook has lashed out against ex-Smiths front man and artist Morrissey solo celebrated. In a public Q&A on Saturday (October 10) in Bristol, England, Hook explained his disdain for the Smiths. "There's no way I could have liked the Smiths, as they were our competition," he said. "A twat anyway to Morrissey's! He makes Mark E. Smith look popular! He really does." Hook went on to dig into Moz's approach to legal issues, saying, “What I do love about Mozzer, though, is that any time anyone has any legal problem with him, the only person you can speak to about (it) is his mother! That's true. So if you have a problem you have to deal with Morrissey's mother. And the first thing she says is, 'Our Steven wouldn't do that!'"

Britain's The Sun reports the two, who met at the MTV Video Music Awards last month and have since started dating, have picked Morrissey's "Whatever Happens, I Love You" as their song. Brand also plans to get its chorus tattooed on "an intimate part of his body," according to the tabloid. Brand and Perry are recently on vacation in Paris, France, where they currently visited Jim Morrison's grave. Perry also has a cameo in Brand's upcoming new film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall spinoff Get Him To The Greek. It's out in June.

Astor jury to keep deliberating tells NYC judge

NEW YORK — Jurors in the five month long criminal trial over New York City philanthropist Brooke Astor's will were told to keep deliberating after indicating they're struggling to reach a verdict.
Judge A. Kirke Bartley told jurors Monday to "hang in there" as unhurriedness stretched into a stressful eighth full day. One female juror appeared tearful in the Manhattan courtroom.
Bartley urged jurors to be "respectful" with one another.
Jurors went the night5 for home. It wasn't clear instantly what had sparked dissonance. The the note the jurors had sent him, judge did not say and sealed.
Astor's son, Anthony Marshall, and lawyer Francis Morrissey are charged with looting Astor's nearly $200 million estate. They deny the allegations. Astor died in 2007 at 105.
(This version CORRECTS judge's name to A. Kirke Bartley, not Kirke A. Bartley.)
