Franklin Avenue's Twitter feed was the first news source ANYWHERE to report David Letterman's extortion scandal. For TV scoops, L.A. news and random musings, follow us here.
The rumors continue to build over who might be playing at this year's Coachella Valley Music Festival. The actual headliners and perfomers for the 2007 edition -- which will take place April 27, 28 and 29 -- won't be announced for some time. But that hasn't stopped the speculation.
LAist looks into rumors that The Police are probably about to reunite and headline this spring's show.
The L.A. Times also played a mild trick on readers, posting this on its home page:
It wasn't until you clicked on the link that you realize that this wasn't news; just columnist Kevin Bronson's predictions:
The Coachella website hasn't even started the countdown to this year's expanded, three-day shindig in Indio -- for the record, it's 100 days away -- but already fans are speculating about the lineup. The maven(ists?) at LAist are liking Gwen Stefani's chances, which might fit; the last generation's Madonna played last year's Coachella, so why not the next generation's at this year's? And Idolator names a handful of bands who jumped the gun and announced their gigs on their website.
I'm betting on the Red Hot Chili Peppers to be tabbed as a reliable draw for one of the days. Peaches, !!! (Chk Chk Chk) and LCD Soundsystem sound good too. The Arcade Fire will be be there, touring behind what appears to be a monster sophomore album. And I'm also thinking that the annual convoy of fine British acts will be anchored by the Arctic Monkeys (or maybe this year's Arctic Monkeys, the View -- hey, invite both and we can have a battle of the bands) and the Kaiser Chiefs.
Kevin also likes local indie darlings Silversun Pickups.
Meanwhile, if you're the betting type, here's the Coachella Pool.
