Not only music that attracts their attention. But, music indeed is the one that inspires and enables them to release a biography. This is what people are waiting for.

Tentatively titled "The Beatles: The Biography," the set will be available on market November 1. Written by Bob Spitz, the 856 pages tell "about how the youth culture emerged, the drug culture emerged, how politics rose to the fore as a universal debate. It's about rebellion, it's about the growth of the British entertainment system, the growth of the rock 'n' roll entertainment system." Said Spitz.

It's close to Halloween party and the time has just right for "Saw 2" to top this weekend's box office with a total gross of $30.5 million. The second best movie is new release "The Legend of Zorro," which taking in $16.5 million. At No. 3 is "Prime," scoring $6.4 million, ahead of "Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story" at No. 4 with $6.3 million.

Clings at No. 5 is "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," with a tepid $4.4 million. Number six is "The Weather Man," $4.2 million, followed behind by "Doom" with $4.1 million at No. 7. Securing number 8 to 10 in succession is "North Country," $3.7 million; "The Fog," $3.3 million; and "Flightplan," $2.6 million.

It sounds strange for others. Well maybe. But, maybe that's the specialty of strangeness. The more unusual something the more special it will be. So does Marilyn Manson may think of. Rumors on the street said the singer and his fiance, Dita Von Teese are planning for a special kind of vows for their upcoming nuptials. The couple wants to exchange vows in a particular way.

For that reason they've found a priest who's agreed to cut their fingers so that they can exchange blood vows during the ceremony. As a source said "Marilyn and Dita wanted something more meaningful and romantic, to capture their coming together in front of their loved ones. They felt that exchanging their life blood was a beautiful way of cementing their love, rather than slipping on a ring and giving each other a quick snog."

It is yet sure, but many believe so. The winner of the 2005 Nobel Man Of Peace award won't be announced until November 24 in Rome, but it is widely believed that Bob Geldof is the one. He's said to be named the 2005 Man of Peace.

Geldof was voted by a committee of all the living Nobel Peace Prize winners, in honor of "his unflagging work and powerful voice on behalf of the poor of Africa over the last 20 years and in particular the last 12 months." He is set to receive the honor from former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev at the World Summit Of Nobel Laureates in Italy, on November 24.

His popularity in music industry seems to make him big headed. He becomes arrogant and overacting. It's rapper The Game that we're talking about. The famous musician has been arrested hours before he was to perform at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem Friday afternoon, accused of causing a scene at a mall and refusing to remove a Halloween mask.

Police said The Game and a group of companions behaved disruptively, swearing at Four Seasons Town Centre Friday. Security officers of the mall testified the rapper was wearing a full-face Halloween mask, cursing loudly, and refused to leave when asked. When police arrived, he continued to act up.
