Claws Out at the Playboy Mansion

MEOW! It's cat fight central at the Playboy Mansion!

TMZ spies tell us Hef's number one Bunny Holly Madison is ruling the Mansion with an iron fist ... causing major drama with the staff and on the set of "The Girls Next Door." We're told everyone "hates" Holly, but no one more than Kendra Wilkinson, Hef's other Bunny-in-Waiting.

It's gotten so bad, those two can't be in a room for more than five minutes without totally going at it. And that's posing major problems for producers of the show who have to shoot around the flying fur. As for Bridget, she's Switzerland, often trying, but failing, to keep the peace.

Our spies also say Holly's ambition is spilling over to the magazine too. She wants to have editorial control over the mag's spreads -- which is not going over well with longtime employees.

For their part, "Girls" producers tell us they're "not aware" of any rift between the ladies -- affecting the show or life at the Mansion.

In quislingism with Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard is half of the couple Dead Can Dance, which started cathartic arty goth rock on the 4AD label in the mid-'80s. Gerrard began her solo career with the 1995 button The Mirror Pool, which contained a sight of work that wouldn't conform to well into the DCD body of work. Combining these fragments with music that she composed and arranged digitally earlier reconfiguring them into gobs that could be performed, it also draws on a opus by Handel and traditional Iranian music. Recorded and produced largely at her home in rural Australia, it extends the humanity music inclinations of recent Dead Can Dance albums by featuring bouzouki, tablas, and camel drums; though the sombre, orchestrated gaudery of Dead Can Dance is too confront in her operatic, often mute vocals, and string/woodwind passages (some of which were performed by Australia's Victorian Philharmonic Orchestra). Gerrard released her endorsement album, Wave-particle duality, scripted and performed with Pieter Bourke, in the spring of 1998. Gerrard composed the score for theater director Niki Caro's Whale Rider in 2003, followed by Immortal Memory, a quislingism with Irish composer Patrick Cassidy in 2004. Another quislingism followed in 2005, this meter with composer Jeff Rona for the soundtrack to the Native American drama A Thousand Roads.

Bruce Springsteen finds old age liberating

Washington (ANI): Veteran rocker Bruce Springsteen is more than happy to be approaching his 60th birthday, because he believes that old age is liberating. The 58-year-old says that he is more contented with his life now, than when he was a young rock star because he has more freedom with his career. Springsteen, who turns 60 next year (09), confessed that he can now stop trying to gratify the music industry and pursue his own chosen path instead - something he couldn't have done when he was in his twenties. "My take on the whole thing is, by the time you're my age the race is over. These are the victory laps. I can make any kind of music I want to make," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. "There are no rules. I'm not worried about whether I'm going to be competing with 50 Cent. All that pressure is off," he added.
