Samantha Ronson 'Calms' Lindsay Lohan's Wild Behaviour

Lindsay Lohan has turned over a new leaf due to the “calming effect” her rumoured girlfriend Samantha Ronson is having on her.

The Mean Girls star, formally known for her wild child behaviour including calling in “sick” for movie shoots and partying until the crack of dawn, has impressed colleagues on her most recent movie.

A source tells Page Six: "She's showing up early for call time (on her new flick, Labor Pains), she knows her lines and her co-workers actually like her. She's a total pro now."

The reason for this is apparently her DJ pal Samantha who "has a calming effect on her."

Another factor in her changed attitude is distancing herself from bad influences such as her mom-ager Dina and dad Michael, claims the publication.

Do you prefer good girl LiLo or the wild child demeanour? Be sure to leave your comments below.

Rockers Poison sue label over royalties

LOS ANGELES —

Members of the rock band Poison claim their recording label has consistently underpaid royalties to the group throughout their career, according to a lawsuit.


The suit, filed Wednesday against Capitol Records and EMI Music Marketing, says the companies breached contracts with the band by improperly categorizing certain record sales and miscalculating everything from producer royalties to foreign taxes.


According to the band's lawsuit, they signed a contract with Enigma Records in 1986, which later transferred control to Capitol Records.


A representative for Capitol and EMI did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Thursday.


The group claims it tried to audit the band's records kept by Capitol, but the firm didn't fully cooperate.


The band stated in its lawsuit that it cannot determine how much money it is owed and asked a judge to order Capitol Records to allow a full accounting review of the band's records.


Poison gained fame in the late 1980s and early '90s, recording hits such as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Talk Dirty to Me."

Jimi Hendrix company says sex tape not genuine

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The company that controls rights to rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix's music and likeness said on Thursday a purported sex tape of the musician being sold on the Internet was not authentic.


"We strongly dispute the claimed authenticity of the tape," Experience Hendrix said in a statement.


"We view the release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself against such an outrageous and baseless assertion," the Seattle-based company added.


Earlier this week, Los Angeles-based adult video company Vivid Entertainment released a 45-minute DVD that includes 11 minutes of roughly 40-year-old film footage showing a man resembling Hendrix cavorting with two unidentified brunettes in a dimly lit bedroom.


Vivid said it consulted several experts to authenticate Hendrix's likeness on the tape, including women who knew the guitarist. It said it acquired the tape from an individual who purchased it from a collector who found it.


Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid, said in his own statement on Thursday that Experience Hendrix's comments were "not in any way a refutation of the authenticity" of the tape.


"We are very comfortable this is the real thing," Hirsch said.


Others have also called the tape's authenticity into question, including Charles Cross, author of Hendrix biography "Room Full of Mirrors." He told the New York Times that "it doesn't add up to Jimi" and said he had previously encountered the film himself when he was researching his book.


The sex tape DVD was available for sale online and Vivid said it would be in stores starting next Tuesday.

Steve Miller Band celebrates 40 years with DVD set

DETROIT (Billboard) - As the Steve Miller Band marks the 40th anniversary of the release of its first two albums, it will release its first DVD, "Live From Chicago," a three-disc set due May 20.


The first disc contains live footage shot in July 2007 at Chicago's Ravinia Amphitheater during a two-day stand. Disc two takes viewers on a tour of Chicago by way of a first-person documentary that traces Steve Miller's Chicago blues roots, while the third disc provides bonus footage from the Ravinia gigs.


Portions of the DVD will be broadcast on PBS as part of its spring and summer fundraising drive.


Miller says he initially "wasn't very interested" in doing a concert DVD but was impressed by the previous work of director/producer Daniel E. Catullo III and producer Jack Gulick.


"I was really pleasantly surprised by them and how much work they put into it and what a great job they did," Miller says. "I think they really captured the kind of joy and fun and happiness we have at our concerts ... doing what we do without too much rock 'n' roll posing and that kind of bulls--t. It's a really good, straightforward representation of who the Steve Miller Band is and what we do, period."


Miller and his band are also hoping to release new, blues-oriented recordings shortly. Earlier this year, the group recorded more than three dozen blues tunes on the soundstage at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, California. The troupe was joined by Sonny Charles of the Checkmates, who's now a full-fledged Steve Miller Band member. Miller tells Billboard.com that he hopes to make the recordings available sooner rather than later.


"I think I'm probably just gonna put them on my Web site and sell it that way," says Miller, who's grouped the songs into three separate albums. "I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm not too worried about it. I'm just gonna make sure everybody that wants to get it can get it."


Miller started the project with about 5,000 songs that he kept on a hard drive and eventually whittled down to the final grouping. "It's such an amazing list of great material. It just makes me laugh every time we put it on," says Miller, adding that the vast majority of tracks are covers.
