Duffy Doesn't "Hold A Grudge" Against John Lydon
Duffy says she doesn't "hold a grudge" towards Sex Pistols singer John Lydon, after their publicized rift.
It was reported that the punk icon made the Welsh singer cry at the Mojo Awards in June, after she attempted to hug him from behind, to which he reacted by shouting at her.
Speaking of the event, Duffy told the Mirror: "He'd been heckling me when I went to foot up an award, yelling 'Duffo' 'up the Duffy', things like that."
"When I picked up the awarding I had to walk past him so I went to say 'Hi' and on the spur of the moment he had me pinned against the wall. I just went white and had to get away. I just had to leave the building through and through the back door, it was horrible. I went home with a heavy heart and an award."
However, the 'Mercy' singer revealed she has moved on and doesn't have an ill-feelings towards Lydon: "I'm not a person to hold a grudge. The only intellect you become strong is because of the things you receive in life."

Bob Dylan Brands Music Industry "Hypocritical Rubbish"
Legendary rocker Bob Dylan has launched a scathing attack on the music industry, calling it "hypocritical rubbish."
The 'Like a Rolling Stone' hitmaker, 67, said he preferred the art and book industries, which he described as more "dignified."
He told Britain's The Times newspaper, "The music world's a made-up bunch of hypocritical rubbish. I know that the book people are a whole lot saner.
"And the art world? From the small steps I've taken in it, I'd say, yeah, the people are honest, upfront and deliver what they say.
"Basically, they are who they say they are. They don't pretend. And having been in the music world most of my life I can tell you it's not that way.
"Let's just say it's less dignified."

BEA Dispatch: Art Spiegelman Calls Out Contemporary Comics
Spiegelman and City Lights Bookstore's Paul Yamazaki Friday nightPhoto: Boris Kachka
Sure, Barbara Walters and Arianna Huffington were in attendance at Knopf's big Book Expo dinner Friday night in L.A., but our big score was sitting next to Art Spiegelman, who'd requested a seat at the end of the table so he could easily run out for smoke breaks. "They told me I would live longer if I quit," he said, "and it's true, the year and a half I didn't smoke was the longest part of my life." What concerns him most these days is his son, a junior at St. Anns, who joined Spiegelman and his wife to visit colleges on the West Coast. With admission rates at a record low, "I feel for him," he said. "He's anxious, and I don't make him feel any better by saying, 'I was a college dropout, it all works out.'"
Soon enough, the conversation moved outside, where, as cars whizzed by on Melrose, Spiegelman expressed his puzzlement with L.A. and waxed nostalgic for the old Soho (where he still lives), but copped to abetting its gentrification with a secretly ad-driven map of the neighborhood he'd started with his wife, thereby financing Raw. So modern Soho dismays him. What about modern comics, a.k.a. graphic novels?
"I wanted this Faustian deal to get struck," he said. "I thought, 'This would be good if comics were in bookstores and you could find them without blushing,' but like with most publishing, it moves in waves and fads. Every publisher wants to have one, but they haven't a clue as to what a good one or a bad one might be." He's reading a lot of manga, he says, but FSG's new graphic versions of historical events — the 9/11 Report, the life of Muhammad Ali — "are not very good. They remind me of certain comics I had in a separate corner of my comic library, which were like My Friend Wheat. You're supposed to learn something. They have pictures, they have text, but they don't have that beat." —Boris Kachka

Studio revenue set for a surge
Expected to hit $42 billion by 2011, report says
Major studios' revenue will climb 19% to almost $42 billion by 2011, according to a new research report.
Studio profits have been pinched by higher costs and recent consumer constraint, but a big revenue surge should help Hollywood manage nicely, the Adams Media Research report found. The forecasted revenue rise is tied in part to the spread of the Blu-ray Disc high-def format, DVD rental kiosks and various electronic distribution schemes.
"When DVD hit the scene in 1997, it changed the way studios made their money," said Tom Adams, president of Carmel, Calif.-based AMR. "Blu-ray won't have the same impact. But this time around, studios and those invested in them have a greatly expanded universe from which to draw revenue."
Revenue expansion in the home-entertainment market won't be as robust as in the glory days of the DVD rollout, he cautioned. "So it's crucial that studios pare down expanding costs and wisely manage upcoming film slates to maximize their profitability," Adams said.
Total worldwide feature film revenue for major U.S. studios is expected to soar from $34.9 billion in 2007 to $41.6 billion by the end of 2011, with the U.S. contributing $20 billion of the global total, or 48%.
The AMR report found that sales of physical media will account for half of all film revenue of the span.
Motion Picture Assn. data show worldwide revenue from major studio films dipped almost 5% between 2004 and 2007 to $34.9 billion. So the forecasted revenue rise would represented a welcome turnaround to the recent trend.
AMR projects that electronic sales and rental will grow at almost 15% annually through 2001, while Hollywood's total worldwide revenue will increase 6% per year.
