Wu-Tang Cover Beatles; Scorsese Wished For More Stones; Angelina Doesn’t Do Girls Anymore

“He knew all the kung fu shit [we reference]! That’s deep! I told him I would be honored if he played his father’s song.” – The Wu Tang’s RZA is stoked that George Harrison’s son, Dhani Harrison will play on the Wu’s cover of “My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Inventively called, “Gently Weeps,” the track will also feature Red Hot Chilli Willi John Frusciante on lead guitar. You’ll remember a version of this song was done by Ghostface Killah years ago on a mixtape comp, but obviously getting the sampling clearance for the Beatles wasn’t going to happen. How did they get it now? Who knows. [Rolling Stone]

“I told him I really needed that music. I wanted a third song, ‘The Last Time’. But we couldn’t afford it. We just couldn’t afford it.” – Marty Scorsese, who is directing the upcoming Rolling Stones tour documentary “Shine A Light” (the release of which recently got pushed back) says his film, “Mean Streets” is indebted to the Stones. The film used “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Tell Me” to great effect, but the producers couldn’t afford on e more Stones track. [Guardian]

“I’ve never hidden my bisexuality. But since I’ve been with Brad, there’s no longer a place for that or S&M in my life.” – Mother of four and partner of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie claims she’s said goodbye to both sapphic love and sexual bondage games. How soccer mom of her. [The Sun/Vulture]

“He was obviously ill and he had a very ill-advised beard, but Tony was still there.” -New Order’s Stephen Morris was shocked when he heard Factory Records baron Tony Wilson had died as he believed his health wasn’t that bad. [NME]

“I reject the entire notion of maturity. Nothing is funny that is mature. Isn’t it all just screwing up and learning lessons?” – “Superbad”/”Knocked Up” producer Judd Apatow defends his brand of comedy and gives some good life advice to the kids. [EW]
