It seems that Jo Ann Fonzone has given up on David Lee Roth and has filed for divorce in Lehigh County Court. The problem is... that Roth isn't married. Fonzone hasn't been able to come up with photos of the happy couple or even a marriage certificate as she claims she left them in California when she separated from him in 1993. It seems that the court has waived the filing fee as she can't afford it -- as this is the 18th defendant that she's filed a lawsuit, complaint or appeal in federal and county courts since 1997.
Anthrax have officially announced that Joey Belladonna has rejoined the band. After the final summer shows in early August, the band plan to head back the the U.S. to start writing and rehearsing for a new album due out early next year. According to Charlie Benante, "There are five or six songs from a year ago that we don't want to change, we love them the way they are, other than having Joey making them his own with his vocals. Then there's another five or six that we may want to rework, and then there are a bunch of other tunes that are still in the early stages, that we want to finish."

It was only last year when former Warrant frontman Jani Lane was sentenced to 2 days in jail, 36 months probation, alcohol education classes and community service for driving under the influence. It seems that the singer was pulled over by officers on May 9th in the Woodland Hills area of California and booked on suspicion of DUI. According to an LAPD spokesman, Lane, 46, allegedly sideswiped a parked car and later failed a Breathalyzer and field sobriety test. Lane was released around 3 a.m. the following morning and could be looking at some serious time if found in violation of his probation.
