Diddy Involved in Car Crash, Suffers Minor Injuries
Yesterday, Diddy suffered minor injuries in a car crash outside of the Beverly Hills Hotel. The mogul was in the passenger seat of a Cadillac Escalade when it collided with a Lexus that was turning left. The front end of the truck was pretty badly damaged. According to Lt. Lincoln Hoshino, Diddy complained of pain and said he would seek his own medical care. No one was hospitalized despite the severity of the crash.
Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs found himself in a major car wreck after smashing his Escalade into another vehicle outside the Beverly Hills hotel Wednesday (Oct. 24).
He allegedly ran into a Lexus sedan that turned left in front of the black SUV, the NY Daily Newsreports. Though no one from either vehicle was hospitalized
The rapper-mogul took to Instagram Thursday morning, saying "Woah... that was a close one!"
Prince Royce Fires Back at Top Stop, Files Counterclaim Against Label
After being sued by his label, indie Top Stop Music (TSM), for breach of contract and unjust enrichment last September, rising bachata star Prince Royce has responded to the complaint and filed a counterclaim of his own.
Royce's complaint, filed Oct. 18 in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit for Miami-Dade, Florida, not only vigorously denies the allegations of breach of contract, but alleges that TSM does not have the rights to his recording services, that he is not a TSM exclusive artist and that TSM does not have rights for future Royce recordings or any options to acquire Royce's rights in English language albums.
The suit also contends that Royce's contract with Top Stop Music Publishing has expired and that TSM has not properly accounted to Royce for the sale of his music nor has it paid him what is due to him in both recording and publishing royalties.

The suit also contends that Royce's contract with Top Stop Music Publishing has expired and that TSM has not properly accounted to Royce for the sale of his music nor has it paid him what is due to him in both recording and publishing royalties.
"Top Stop's case is nothing more than a desperate attempt to claim rights from Royce that it does not have," said attorney Kenneth Freundlich in a press release. "Royce's counterclaims seek a swift, just and public resolution of this matter to prevent Top Stop from causing any further damage to his career." Freundlich in Los Angeles and Sean Santini of Miami represent Royce in this lawsuit.
The legal wrangling between Top Stop and Royce has been closely watched because Royce is without a doubt the most successful new act to be developed in the Latin marketplace in the past five years to the degree that his self-titled debut album was the top-selling Latin album of 2011, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
But even as sales of Royce's sophomore set, Phase II, have also remained strong, the relationship between Royce and his label has soured dramatically, to the degree that as part of his suit, Royce also filed a third party claim against producer Sergio George, president of Top Stop and the man who brought him to the label.
In that third-party claim, Royce alleges that George "engaged in a public campaign of words seeking to undermine Royce's reputation in the Latin American community" and seeks damages for this "wrongful conduct."
"By publishing false statements, including, without limitation, in a press release, on the internet, on Univision's television show "Primer Impacto," in Billboard Magazine and elsewhere, wherein George called Royce an ingrate and stated that he had breached his agreements with TSM and TSMP, was not loyal and was turning his back on the Latin community, George intended to communicate to others false and defamatory statements against Royce," reads the suit.
Top Stop's suit stated it discovered Royce in 2009, signed him and turned him into an international superstar who topped Billboard charts only to see Royce seek greener pastures.
"Ignoring the cautionary tale of 'never forgetting those who have helped you,' Prince Royce has turned his back on Top Stop, despite the fact that Top Stop has invested in excess of $2 million cultivating Prince Royce's career and was successful in propelling him from an unsigned MySpace artist to No. 1 on the Latin Billboard charts," reads the complaint.
Conversely, Royce's complaint tells "not a tale of ingratitude, rather it's an all-too-familiar case of a greedy record label taking advantage of a vulnerable and inexperienced 19-year-old, inducing him with empty promises of riches and a record deal."
Meantime, Royce is in the midst of his more than 25-date tour that includes stops in New York's Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles' Nokia Theater.
At press time, Top Stop had not responded to Billboard.biz's request for comment on the countersuit.

BOBBY BROWN ARRESTED FOR SECOND DUI OF THE YEAR
Bobby Brown just can't stop drinking... and driving.
For the second time this year, he faces a drunken driving charge after a Los Angeles police officer pulled him over in Studio City early Wednesday.
Brown's vechile was stopped on Ventura Boulevard and the officer said he smelled "a strong smell of alcohol" during the routine traffic stop. A quick field sobriety test proved that the singer was over the legal limit. Bobby was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and booked into a jail.
Police have confirmed that New Edition singer was released on bond.
Brown checked into a "confidentia
Brown, 43, agreed to enter a 90-day alcohol treatment program when he pleaded no contest in Los Angeles County to driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher in April. He also was sentenced to 36 months of probation, according to his attorney, Tiffany Feder.

The key to survival is diversify. Always negotiate to retain ownership of your score when the upfront money is too low. Oftentimes the constraints of working for a director or producer will actually help the creative process. Regardless of his personal troubles or the tabloid headlines, Mel Gibson is a very dedicated director who knew exactly what he wanted with "The Passion of the Christ." He even did a bit of chanting in the studio.
These were some of the big takeaways from the "Songs and Scores: A Gathering of Musicians" panel and Q&A at Billboard's Film & TV Music Conference at The W Hotel in Hollywood on Wednesday. A group of musicians who have learned to balance their own recording and touring schedules with professional work on movies, TV and commercials talked about the unique challenges and creative satisfaction with their respective transitions.

These were some of the big takeaways from the "Songs and Scores: A Gathering of Musicians" panel and Q&A at Billboard's Film & TV Music Conference at The W Hotel in Hollywood on Wednesday. A group of musicians who have learned to balance their own recording and touring schedules with professional work on movies, TV and commercials talked about the unique challenges and creative satisfaction with their respective transitions.
The "Songs and Scores" panelists were Nick Urata ("I Love You, Phillip Morris"), Gingger Shankar ("The Passion of the Christ"), Michael Andrews ("Bridesmaids"), Will Bates and Phil Mossman from Fall On Your Sword ("Another Earth"). Go Music/KCRW music supervisor Gary Calamar ("True Blood," "Dexter") moderated. Urata performed one of the songs his band, DeVotchKa, written with composer Mychael Danna for "Little Miss Sunshine."
All of the former-bandmembers/solo artists-turned-composers seemed to agree that having a deadline and some other folks in the process can actually help when compared to the slower, more solitary process of writing and recording their own work. "You get it finished a lot quicker. If you have only yourself to answer to, you can procrastinate a lot," explained Mossman. "That's one of the big differences between films and albums. Having a definite goal and something else to serve other than yourself, like a film or a director's vision, can sometimes be really helpful. It's not necessarily a restrictive part of the process."
Urata agreed. "It does get you out of your own head. You're forced to follow the story and the character's performances. In a lot of ways, that'll lead you down musical paths you never would have taken if you were sitting in a room alone with a blank page.
"The hardest thing to get used to when you're collaborating is the rejection -- when you thought one of your songs was perfect for a scene," he added.
Bates, who said he sang the entire score from "Star Wars" to his parents at age 5, said another challenge involves temp music. Oftentimes, editors and directors will get a bit too attached to the placeholder music. All of them agreed that it's important not to lose your own identity as a composer.

"I've definitely gotten fired because I said I wouldn't imitate certain things. You have to make a conscious decision to be yourself," said Andrews.
Fall On Your Sword will often lean on commercial work when times are lean with films, and vice versa. Having their own studio helps when it comes to spreading around a budget, which they said are often delivered in a lump sum with which composers are expected to hire whomever they need.
"To survive in music these days, you have to diversify a lot," insisted Bates. "It's a hustle," Calamar agreed. "Let's assume you're a fine composer. That's almost only half the job. Your networking skills and schmoozing are a big part of being successful in any business."
All of them were very encouraging to one 16-year-old aspiring composer in the audience who was there to do some networking of his own. He asked each of them about their earliest influences. Urata named John Williams and John Barry. Shankar mentioned Alfred Hitchcock's movies and Clint Mansell's work on "Requiem for a Dream." The first record Bates ever bought was Ennio Morricone's score for "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly." Mossman cited pioneering electronic composer Wendy Carlos ("A Clockwork Orange"). For Andrews, whose first movie was "Donnie Darko," he cited "minimalist weird guys in their bedroom making electronic music."

Earlier in the day, a panel called "How Music Rights Paved the Way for Films: Music Supervisor-Producer Partnerships" talked about movies centered around certain songs or musically motivated stories, like the forthcoming film about New York's legendary punk club, CBGB, and its colorful owner, Hilly Kristal. Whereas many films start thinking about licensing after the fact, these particular projects involved an emphasis on music cues from the get-go.
Billboard's own Phil Gallo moderated the panel, which included two groups of people working on three upcoming flicks: the Americana/country leaning "Watercolor Postcards" (director Rajeev Dassani, producer Rhett Giles, screenwriter/actor Conrad Goode and music supervisor/associate producer Anna Granucci); and "CBGB" (director/writer Randy Miller, producer/music supervisor Brad Rosenberger and producer/writer Jody Savin); the latter trio are also involved together on the movie "The Drummer," which tells the story of the Beach Boys' late drummer Dennis Wilson.
Rosenberger was working at Warner/Chappell Music when he said he presented the idea to the brass that as a publisher they were "sitting on a goldmine of stories. I found these guys and I told them about my passion for Dennis Wilson and two months later, Jody calls me back and says, 'We want to do this movie.' I said, 'What movie?' I was like, 'You're kidding!' My next thought was, 'Are they the right people to do this movie?' But when I looked back at why I liked their movies, I knew they were the right people. And then in Randy's awesome way, he was like, 'What else you got?'"
"I said, 'Dude, we don't even have a deal for this movie!' And that's where 'CBGB' came from," he explained.

Scheduling conflicts with some of the actors on "The Drummer" put "CBGB" into preproduction in April, which made for a scramble to secure licenses, among other things. "I basically called up all of my peers and told them 'CBGB' was a labor of love, a film that will not be made by a major studio but that it's an important film," Rosenberger said. "When I was at Warner/Chappell, I had dealt with a lot of them. My whole thing was to look at it as CBGBs as a museum: you're walking down a hallway and you see Talking Heads, Dead Boys, Blondie. It's not about them. They're important. But it's about the guy -- it's about Hilly. It's 'Night at the Museum,' and Hilly is Ben Stiller. It wasn't easy. We're still finishing up the movie. But I don't think people are going to be disappointed."
"Watercolor Postcards" had a little bit of an easier road, licensing-wise. Laura Bell Bundy stars as Sunny, which includes several scenes of Bundy singing. She has a history with Broadway and released her debut country album through Mercury about three years ago. Granucci said Nashville singer/songwriter Andy Davis wrote many of the songs she sings in the movie and was often on-set with them. "He worked with Conrad a little bit on some things. He custom wrote the songs. The songs really paved the way for the other 18 cues that I selected and licensed for the soundtrack."

Idris Elba Could Be the First Black James Bond
Recently, there's been plenty of chatter surrounding the possibility of the first Black James Bond coming to the big screen. Current Bond girl, Naomie Harris, says she wants her fellow Brit Idris Elba to play the part—a role his name has been tied to for over a year.
The Sykfall actress told the Huffington Post, "I didn’t realize that there was this talk and then I did a film with Idris [Elba] and he said that he met Barbara Broccoli [James Bond producer] and that it does seem like there is a possibility in the future that there could very well be a Black James Bond. And I would have to vote for Idris because I just finished working with him and he’s a great guy."
In September 2011, Elba told CNN that if he does take the role, he doesn't want to be called the "first Black James Bond." "Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond," said Elba. "So if I played him, I don't want to be called the Black James Bond."
Elba's meeting with Broccoli is a possible sign that a new Bond film is on its way.
