Eddie Van Halen Sues Nike, Billy Joel On the Road to Splitsville, Dave Stewart & Brian Eno Make Creative List

Artist:
Eddie Van Halen is suing Nike over the color design on their "Dunk Low" sneakers. The new design is black with a red bottom side trim and black and white crisscrosses that Van Halen says is way to close to his signature Frankenstrat guitar. As a matter of fact, Eddie was so invested in that color scheme that he had it copyrighted back in 2001.
The suit is looking for money along with the "impoundment and destruction of all footwear.” It might also have something to do with the fact that Van Halen released his own sneakers with the Frankenstrat color scheme just last month through his EVH Shoes.
It looks like Billy Joel is on the road to divorce for the third time. Joel and his wife, Bravo TV star Katie Lee, have announced they are separating after five years of marriage. While there have been some rumors of Lee's involvement with a fashion designer, the general feeling is that the age difference was just too wide. Joel is 60 while Lee is 27.
Fast Company magazine has posted its list of the 10 Most Creative People in the Music Biz. Among those selected were ex-Eurythmic Dave Stewart for not only his music but also for work as a law firm creative director, owner of a consulting company with Deepak Chopra and being president of entertainment for Christian Audigier's fashion firm and Brian Eno for his recent work with David Byrne and his light-and-music exhibition in Sydney, Australia.
