Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, February 20, 2009...

Remember that guy J.D. Fortune who won Rockstar: INXS? Me neither. But, he's now homeless, living in his pick-up and a recovering cocaine addict.
Good on Kid Rock for combining his two favorite things: beer and American badassery. He is creating his own beer that will produce almost 400 jobs for Michigan residents.
A picture of a beaten Rihanna has appeared on TMZ. The photo is believed to be legitimate due to the visibility of her Roman numeral shoulder tattoos. Way to (allegedly) be a man, Chris Brown.

How can I get tickets to zombieland? A few friends and I are planning to go and see it Friday, but we don't have an adult to buy us tickets. We all have our parents consent and whatnot, but we are getting a ride in my friend Jhon-ohs car. The only problem is that all of us are 16 or younger. Nobodys parent can buy us tickets because no ones parent gets out of work before 5 and the movie starts at 3:30. I have always felt weird about buying tickets online. Anyone know how I can get tickets? you can get tickets online at movietickets.com all you need is a credit card. but when you go pick up the tickets at willcall theyll just ask you for your credit card they wont ask you for your ID. Ive tried this before and it is a very reputable site. they hardly ask for ID. even when i use my credit card to buy tickets. if you do not get it online and just go there. trust me no one is going to let you in. if you ask someone to buy you a ticket because youre not old enough. they wont do it. i know that first hand because hats happened to me. plus if the movie is rated R the movie clerks who sell the ticket can only sell tickets to those that are currently standing in line. so if you do ask someone who is older and they agree to buying it for you while they are buying another movie ticket for themselves. the clerks wont sell it. they arent as stupid as you think. Ive tried this when i was with my boyfreind who was 19 at the time and i was still 16 and they wouldnt sell him two tickets to a rated R movie. Good luck though!
I don't get why Chris hurt Rihanna...as a famous singer shouldn't he be more careful with his actions especially when he's always in the spotlight?? some people have been neutral with the situation saying that others shouldn't make judgments when we don't know the whole story (it could be Rihanna's fault as well)...but all i know is that domestic violence is just NOT cool and no matter how heated the argument got beating someone is taking it way too far..it shouldn't have gone to that point...i saw the pic at http://tinyurl.com/RihannaFacePhoto and was just sad that she had to go through all that...she doesn't deserve that kind of treatment..
If memory serves right, JD Fortune was homeless, and living in his truck prior to winning the INXS gig as well. Not sure about the cocaine part.
