Briefly: Good Charlotte, Fabolous, Fountains of Wayne, Toni Braxton

"Good Morning Revival," the fourth studio set from pop-punk outfit Good Charlotte , is due in stores March 27.

The album features the leadoff single "The River," the music video for which was directed by Marc Webb, who previously worked with the group on the video for "Festival Song." The new clip for "The River" features Good Charlotte performing in a warehouse as various photos of scenes shot in Los Angeles are displayed behind the band.

On Friday (2/9), Good Charlotte launched a website where fans can make a custom version of "The River" video by uploading pictures that will appear in place of the Los Angeles pics featured in the original video, according to a press release.

Fountains of Wayne have contributed a new song titled "Someone to Love" to the just-released film "Music and Lyrics," a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore as a singer and lyricist, respectively. The band is previewing the cut via a Valentine's Day e-card posted at Virgin Records' website.

"Music and Lyrics" also features three original songs written and produced by Fountains of Wayne bassist/songwriter Adam Schlesinger. "Way Back Into Love," one of the three Schlesinger originals, is used throughout the film as a cut on which Grant's and Barrymore's characters are working.

Toni Braxton , who late last month filed a lawsuit against her former manager and his label, has settled the dispute out of court.

Braxton is currently in the midst of a residency at the Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel and Casino titled "Toni Braxton: Revealed." The production, which runs Tuesday through Saturday, is scheduled to run through August of this year.
