"Title TK," the Breeders' first album since 1993's "Last Splash," is set for release on May 21, according to Elektra Records. Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana) produced. The band will be on a sold-out club tour through March, and plans to hit the road again this summer.

The With Arms Wide Open Foundation, founded by Creed's Scott Stapp to strengthen bonds between parents and their children, is providing scholarships to send 15 parent-child groups to U.S. Space Camp's Parent-Child Program July 26-28, 2002. Visit the foundation's website for information on how to apply for the scholarship.

According to KNAC.com, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that former Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy was engaging in unfair competition by touring as "Ratt featuring Stephen Pearcy" and that WBS Inc., described as "Ratt's touring entity," is the owner of the Ratt trademark.

Young rapper Lil' Bow Wow will star in the motion picture "Like Mike," scheduled to open in July. From a press release:

In "Like Mike," Lil' Bow Wow portrays fourteen-year-old orphan Calvin Cambridge, who dreams of being a famous professional basketball player. But his diminutive stature and limited ability make this goal a far-off fantasy. Or is it? When Calvin dons a pair of old sneakers, he displays amazing hoop skills, and leads a struggling NBA team to victory.
