After recent reports that the long-rumored Jimi Hendrix biopic staring Andre 3000 was finally going into production, Hendrix's estate has spoken out against the movie. A statement from the Hendrix estate reads, "Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family-owned company entrusted with safeguarding the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and administrator of the Jimi Hendrix music and publishing catalog, has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation." The film was reportedly set to begin production in Ireland in June.

Fred Durst tells Kerrang! that Limp Bizkit's first album for their new label Cash Money will be called Stampede Of The Disco Elephants.

We're writing all different sorts of tracks and it seems like the songs going into that basket are ones that girls can like as much as guys who like rock."
