Will Ferrell - Semi-pro Makes Big Comeback -- On Dvd

The Will Ferrell comedy Semi-Pro, a disappointment when it was released in
theaters last March, where it earned only $33 million domestically, bounced back
on the video charts last week. Apparently time to come out while interest in the
NBA Finals was high, the basketball comedy debuted in first place on all three major
charts -- sales, rental and Blu-ray high definition.

Music festival cancelled

A two-day annual music festival in Belfast has been cancelled because of the growing number of other festivals in the UK.

The Tennents Vital event started in 2002 and has been running for the last six years in the city. Last year, an estimated 35,000 fans packed into Ormeau Park to see The Killers, Razorlight and others. In previous years Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs and Kings Of Leon have headlined.

But sponsor Tennent's said it was scrapping this year's event because it could not "secure the necessary talent" in a "difficult climate for live music events." They said there were more than 500 music festivals in the UK.

Tennent's added that it "is currently investigating other opportunities and remain hopeful that they can continue their strong relationship with music in Northern Ireland in the near future."

The brewing giant remains sponsor of Scotland's T In The Park.

The Tennent's Vital festival has been hit with the emergence of a brand new event in Northern Ireland this year. Belsonic will take place on August 11, 14 and 15. Flaming Lips, The Enemy, Reverend And The Makers and Mystery Jets are amongst the acts appearing.

Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Ends Legal Woes

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has finally settled his legal woes over a basketball court in the back of his house.
The Titanic star had landed himself in trouble when he started building the court at the Hollywood Hills home he rents off his cousin Robert Hrtica.
Neighbours Ronald and Joan Linclau sued the pair last May for allegedly causing damage to their property.
The Linclaus alleged DiCaprio "maliciously" cut and removed hedges; excavated "earth, granite and bedrock", destabilising their deck and swimming pool; and ignored their repeated requests to halt the 2004 construction.
They attempted to sue for trespass, nuisance and negligence and sought $250,000 in compensation.
But the legal dispute has now been solved according to a notice of settlement filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.

Singer Meldrum Dies

Former PHANTOM BLUE guitarist MICHELLE MELDRUM has died. She was 39.

The Meldrum frontwoman passed away after suffering a brain haemorrhage on 18 May (08).

Meldrum's former Phantom Blue bandmate Linda MCDonald says, "It comes as a complete shock and the impact will be felt by so many. She was a one of a kind and will be sorely missed. I don't really know what to say right now. Thank you for your prayers. I'm sure she heard them all. It is a very sad, sad day."

The surviving bandmembers of Meldrum plan to release a tribute CD later this year (08), reports Blabbermouth.net.

The star - married to Europe guitarist John Norum - leaves one son, Jake Thomas, three.
