Fans petition Beyonce music video

Fans aren't happy with Beyonce Knowles' video for "Deja Vu," the first single off her upcoming album, B'Day.

It seems the video doesn't live up to the standards of past videos, according to some, and also includes some "unacceptable interactions between her and boyfriend Jay-Z. The video saw Beyonce wade through the swamps of muggy Louisiana, where she mingled with Mother Nature--alligators, snakes, bees, wasps. "All of that sweat [in the video] is real," she said of the new video. "That's not some spritzer. That's real."

But more than 1,000 people who have watched the result of Ms. Knowles' romp in the southern US have signed an online petition, demanding the ex-Destiny's Child leader reshoot the video.

The petition cites seven violations with the video, including nausea-inducing, quick-moving camera edits and the depiction of an inappropriate relationship between the singer and Jay-Z. "The sexual themes and shots between Ms. Knowles and Mr. Sean Carter PKA [sic] Jay-Z, are alarming and show unacceptable interactions between the two."

The comments range from the polite ("The video doesn't do justice to the song," wrote Davina. "Please reshoot!") to the practical ("Couldn't enjoy it because it moved so fast. I got dizzy watching it," said Niema.) to the disappointed ("I was disgusted and ashamed to see it," wrote Catie.).

Wentz: FOB album not coming in 2006

Record-label shakeups and a 2006 quickly coming to its end will force emo band Fall Out Boy to delay their work-in-progress album until next year.

"There have been some changes at our label, a little bit of strangeness there," bassist Pete Wentz said of Island/Def Jam. "Half the phone numbers I have for people at the label don't have people on the other end of them anymore. It slowed us slightly, but we're getting back up to speed."

"[I]f I go into specifics, I'll get into trouble," the outspoken Wentz said.

Still, the band has penned 20 new tunes and, by week's end, will begin recording with producer Neal Avron, according to MTV.com.

Libertines leaders reportedly reconcile

Pete Doherty and Carl Barat--former guitarists for the disbanded English rock band the Libertines--have apparently kissed and made up.

Since the dissolution of the band, and Doherty's starting the Babyshambles, the relationship between the two had been on the rocks. But a Tuesday-night drinking meet-up at the Dublin Castle in London has brought the two together again, according to media reports.

"There were tons of fans around them taking pictures on their mobile phones," Adie Nunn, an organizer at Doherty and Barat's meet-up spot Club Fandango, told BBC 6 Music. Why they decided to meet in such a public place for a private, quiet chat is beyond me, though."

New Dylan album 'clipped' to Net

Bob Dylan is getting to know the Modern Times quite well.

Snippets of the legendary singer's album of that name, his first since 2002's Love and Theft, leaked to the Web this week, more than a month before the scheduled August 29 release date.

Luckily for the singer-songwriter, only 30-second clips of the new songs were uploaded--to Sony's own online music store--before being removed.

However, fan sites around the Web are now trading clips from Modern Times, which is set to feature 10 new Dylan tunes.
