On Tuesday Msat wrote a story that’s gotten a lot of press attention lately, in which a singer named Lennon Murphy said Yoko Ono had sued her to prevent her from using the name Lennon for her band. Many people were disappointed in Yoko, especially considering that she has done a lot of work to promote the arts. While the issue is complicated, Yoko has not in fact filed a lawsuit or anything close to it.

Britney Spears has come a long way, but Yoko Ono, John Lennon`s 76-year-old widow, thinks the pop star deserves more respect.I think that the world was not fair to her, and they`re just using her and not dignifying her," she told Usmagazine.com at the ThreeAsFour Homage to Yoko Ono on Thursday in NYC. Up until last year, headlines bearing Spears` name reported on her bizarre psychotic behaviors, drug use, and a tumultuous custody battle with ex Kevin Federline over her two sons, Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3.Now, Spears, 27, is hard at work promoting her sixth album, Circus, on a sold-out international tour."I think she`s a survivor and she`s doing very well," Ono told Us.

NEW YORK — A new John Lennon exhibit is particularly emotional for his widow, Yoko Ono. Besides Lennon's guitars, letters and other personal effects, it also includes a paper bag containing the bloody clothes from the night he was shot to death.
Ono received the items from the medical examiner in December 1980, when the former Beatle was gunned down in New York City at age 40.

Yoko Ono wasn’t the only woman in John Lennon’s life after the Beatles. Lennon’s lover of nearly two years, May Pang, has just released a book of photos chronicling the time she spent with John while he and Yoko were on the outs. The book, called “Instamatic Karma: Photographs of John Lennon” features intimate photos of John doing everyday things such as taking a trip to Disneyland, playing with his pet cats and his son Julian, and hanging out around New York City.

LONDON (Reuters) - John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for the hit song "Give Peace a Chance" will go under the hammer at auction in July and are expected to fetch 200-300,000 pounds ($400-600,000), Christie's said on Tuesday.
The lyrics are being sold by comedy writer and presenter Gail Renard, who was 16 when Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their famous "Bed-In" at a hotel in Montreal in 1969.
Renard and a friend sneaked into the Queen Elizabeth Hotel where the recently married Lennon and Ono were holding a protest for peace and became friendly with the couple.

NEW YORK/LONDON (Billboard) - It's perfectly legal, but it will still seem to some listeners like the sound of someone making off with England's crown jewels.
On rap collective Wu-Tang Clan's new single "The Heart Gently Weeps," a Santana-style rock guitar opening gives way to an almost celestial chorus of something very familiar. There, and throughout the track, is the unmistakable melody of George Harrison's timeless contribution to the Beatles' "White Album" from 1968: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Kurt and Courtney's little girl has a big spread and interview in this month's Harper's Bazaar. She's not necessarily beautiful but she's got a unique look and I think she's pretty striking.
She's only fifteen, but she seems very mature and level-headed, especially considering the life she's had.
