TMZ
has reportedly acquired a sex tape featuring a young Tupac Shakur that was apparently
shot in 1991. According to the gossip site, Shakur is seen in the video
receiving oral sex from a groupie while rapping and dancing along to one of his
own unreleased songs. Shakur, who has a cocktail in one hand and a blunt in the
other, also throws an arm around Money B from Digital Underground at one point,
with no disruption in the action.

Jane's Addiction
returns to Los Angeles' John Anson Ford Amphitheatre for the first time
since 1989 on October 3rd and 4th - and Perry Farrell can't wait.

"I'm pretty psyched about it," Farrell tells Rolling Stone.
The two gigs at the 1400-person capacity theatre are part of a six-show
tour that already stopped at Chicago's Metro and wraps up at New York's
Irving Plaza October 17th and 18th, with stops in between at Florida's
DeLuna Fest and Atlantic City's House Of Blues.

Farrell promises the intimate shows will recall the late
Eighties/early Nineties days of "Juana's Addicion." "This is gonna be
like a low-down, dirty club show for people to see Jane's Addiction up
close," he says.

The October 18th Irving Plaza show coincides with the release of the group's highly anticipated new album, The Great Escape Artist.
The album will get the large-scale live production next year. "I have

t-shirt design, Mobb Deep," says LaCrate. "The t-shirt was worn by
everyone from Jay-Z to Eminem, so it's kind of amazing to me to be able
to produce the real 'Illson 2012' song with Mobb Deep, some of New
York's most important MCs."

The members of Bloc Party are insisting that they have not fired
frontman Kele Okereke, despite recently heading into the studio without
the singer. "Kele's been pretty busy doing solo stuff and it looks like
he's going to be doing that a bit longer," guitarist Russell Lissack told the NME.
"The other three of us wanted to meet up and make music. We were
talking about just doing an instrumental thing, but now we might get a
singer as well, to properly put some music out and play some shows."

The
band further clarified that they have not changed their lineup in a
post to their website, which depicted the four members of the group as
cartoon characters with the caption "See you soon." Okereke, who had speculated that he had been quietly fired from the band in a recent interview with the NME, responded with a post on his blog in which he wrote, "A big part of me is laughing HARD at all of this but another part of me is all like WTF?"
