...wonder that ailing record labels like Warner Music Group have been exploring ways to get a piece of that much more lucrative side of the business. So just imagine how they must feel now that Live Nation, the world's largest concert promoter, is close to stealing away pop music icon Madonna for a cool $120 million in cash and stock...

"The folks don't have a say-so anymore. They're being...
...disheartened to see your 10 questions for 50 Cent. People like him are the reason I don't subscribe to pop-culture magazines. You degrade your publication when you print anything remotely related to beefs between people who claim to be artists yet who appear to be nothing but street thugs. The more we glorify the gangsta lifestyle, the more it will pervade everyday life. I prefer not to have to bulletproof my car, thank you very much. Phyllis McCabe, HAZLET...
