Briefly: Ozzfest, Kenny Chesney, Justin Timberlake, Goodie Mob
Billboard.com reports that Slayer , Judas Priest (including Rob Halford) and Slipknot will be among the acts that will join Ozzy Osbourne on this year's edition of Ozzfest.
Official confirmation of the lineup--along with additional information--should surface at a Feb. 19 press conference in Los Angeles, according to the event's publicist.
Kenny Chesney 's "When the Sun Goes Down" sold about 550,000 copies during its first week in stores, and will top the upcoming Billboard 200 album chart, according to industry sources.
"A Crow Left of the Murder," the latest album from alt-rockers Incubus, enters the chart at No. 2, pushing Twista's "Kamikaze"--last week's No. 1 album--down to No. 3. Josh Groban's "Closer" jumps from No. 12 to No. 4, thanks to his Super Bowl pre-game performance. Harry Connick Jr.'s "Only You" enters the chart at No. 5.
Atlanta rappers Goodie Mob --a group that's closely aligned with OutKast--have recorded their first new studio album since 1999's "World Party." The new set, titled "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show," is due in stores on April 27. The album is the group's first without Cee-Lo, who has gone solo.
Justin Timberlake --who has past acting experience in Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club"--has been cast as a young reporter in the motion picture "Edison," which will also star Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman and LL Cool J.
