Bill Cosby Again
Chic & Nile Rodgers To Release New Album ‘It’s About Time’ In September
Chic & Nile Rodgers
have announced the release of their first all-new studio album in 25 years.
Entitled It’s About Time, the new record was set for re- lease on 14 September via Virgin EMI.
Multiple Grammy-win- ning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist Nile Rodgers is always collabo- rating, working with musical superstars and breaking artists alike.
He amplifies his legacy by constantly traversing new musical terrain and success- fully expanding the bound- aries of popular music. The

new record sees the UK’s
Nao, Mura Masa, Stef- flon Don, Cosha and Craig David share in the journey alongside the likes
of California’s Anderson.Paak and Chicagoan Vic Mensa, with many more exciting collabo- rations to be announced.
Wants Rape Case
Judge Tossed
Desperate times often re- quire desperate measures and Bill Cosby, facing decades behind bars and des- ignation as a sexually violent predator, is relying on a Hail Mary pass to at least pause his upcoming sentencing for the 2004 rape of a Temple University employee.
Already trying to thwart the Montgomery County Dis- trict Attorney’s move to have dozens of alleged victims of the much-accused actor speak at the September 24 starting sentencing hearing, Cosby and his wife Camille today are returning to an old tactic with new terms. The actor and his new-ish legal team are making another at- tempt to have the Pennsylva- nia judge who oversaw both the 2017 mistrial and this spring’s guilty verdict declar- ing retrial remove himself from the case.
In April, a jury of seven
BILL AND CAMILLE COSBY
men and five women re- turned guilty verdicts on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for the now 81-year-old Cosby’s sexual assault of Andrea Con- stand over 14 years ago. An expected two-day hearing later this month will see sen- tencing finally handed out by Judge Steven O’Neill in the matter, at least before the now widely disgraced Cosby inevitably appeals.
Prince Estate Releasing Unheard 'Piano & A Microphone 1983' Album
Eminem Recalls

for streaming.
“This raw, intimate
recording, which took place at the start of Prince’s ca- reer right before he achieved international stardom, is
similar in format to the Piano & A Microphone Tour that he ended his career with in 2016,” Prince Estate entertainment adviser Troy Carter said in a statement about the project recorded at Prince's Kiowa Trail home studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
“The Estate is excited to be able to give fans a glimpse of his evolution and show how his career ulti- mately came full circle with just him and his piano.”
Visit From Secret
Service Over
Trump Criticism
The latest installment of Eminem and Sway’s can- did interview dropped on Thursday (Sept. 13), it got pretty political. During the discussion, Em touched on the backlash he received after his Donald Trump cypher on BET, his support of Colin Kaepernick, and an inter- esting visit from the Secret Service. In the next part of his interview with Sway, Eminem discusses backlash over his Trump cypher, sup- port, from Colin Kaeper- nick and a visit from Secret Service.
While most critics just shared their thoughts on so- cial media, Em got a visit from the Secret Service in order to vet his intentions. “They came to my studio,” he said. “They were just asking me questions about my lyrics
EMINEM
to see what the intent was be- hind them and if I was mak- ing an actual threat or just expressing myself.”
He also explained his de- cision to attack Trump. “The thing that set me off the most that really set me off that i started going off with the pen, is the Kaepernick thing,” he said. “And how he kept changing the narrative.”
