YOU CAN'T NOT GET NO SATISFACTION

According to England's Daily Express, the duet between Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan is a go. The pair are planning to go into the studio sometime over the summer.

A source said, "Paul has a home in California not too far from Bob's so the idea is for the two to meet when Paul is in California over the summer. They'll obviously want to work in privacy and it's felt one of their homes will be the best bet.

“Getting these two together for any length of time is difficult schedule-wise but they both want this to work out. The music that comes out of this will be fascinating to hear."

Australians proved there is still a little discretionary income down under by purchasing 500,000 tickets for AC/DC's concerts scheduled for February and March of 2010. That translates to about one out of every 40 people in the country now holding a ticket for the shows.

The sales set a new record for amount in one day with, at one point, 3,400 tickets being sold a minute. Additional shows had to be added in Sydney and Melbourne after the first dates sold out in ten minutes. Perth sold out in seven.

A South Carolina judge may have finally put the legacy of James Brown to rest. In a Tuesday ruling, Judge Jack Early has divided the late-singer's estate approximately 50% to his cheritable trust, 25% to his last wife and young son and 25% to the singer's adult children.

The true value of Brown's estate is not known, although there have been many rumors and court hearings over the fact that his fortune had pretty much been drained. A recent auction netted $850,000, but the true value is most likely in future sales and royalties.

Natalie Cole has left the hospital and is now home "doing well under the circumstances." Cole underwent a life saving kidney transplant last Monday; however, her older sister, Carol "Cookie" Cole, passed away from cancer while Natalie was in the operating room.

Cole will recover for the next three months before going on the road to promote her latest, Still Unforgettable.

Suzi Quatro is planning on recording a new album with Mike Champan.

Chapman recently said "I always got on well with Suzi Quatro and had a long and successful friendship and collaboration with her. Suzi was the first real female rock and roll player...

We're about to start on a new project and I've said to her, 'Let's go back to basics - let's make a kick-ass record that has the same attitude that we had in 1971-2'."

Also readying a new album is Sade, who has not released new material in nine years. According to Sony, the set will be out on November 24.
