New Led Zeppelin On The Way? Jason Bonham Hints At 'Jam' Sessions With Jimmy Page -- But Not Robert Plant

Drummer admits he doesn't know what will come of 'new material.'

On Friday morning, mere hours before he was due to take the stage with classic rockers Foreigner at Detroit's GM Renaissance Center, drummer Jason Bonham — the son of late Led Zeppelin kitman John Bonham — told Jim Johnson and Lynne Woodison of local rock station 94.7 WCSX that he'd be an ex-member of Foreigner as of September 1. But that's not the only thing he said.

Much to the delight of Led Zeppelin fans everywhere, Bonham revealed that he's been meeting up with Led Zep guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones in recent months and that they've been "trying to do some new material and writing."

It was the first time since Led Zeppelin announced they would re-form for a single performance (which happened late last year at London's O2 Arena, in honor of the late Ahmet Ertegün, who signed the band to Atlantic Records in 1969) that anyone connected to the band has confirmed publicly that new music could be on the horizon for the iconic rockers. While the bandmembers have stopped short of definitively ruling out such a reunion, singer Robert Plant insisted in the wake of last year's show that he intended to focus on promoting and touring behind his critically lauded album with bluegrass artist Alison Krauss, Raising Sand.

Not that Bonham knows what — if anything — will happen with the new material he's been working on with Page (who collaborated with pop singer Leona Lewis on an uneven version of Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" at the Olympic closing ceremonies in Beijing on Sunday night) and Jones. He said he just shows up and takes his seat behind the kit.

"I've been over [to England] a couple of times," Bonham said. "I've been working with Jimmy and John Paul and trying to do ... some new material and some writing. I don't know what it will be, but it will be something. At the moment, all I know is I have the great pleasure to go and jam with the two guys and start work on some material. When I get there, I never ask any questions. If I get a phone call to go and play, I enjoy every moment of it. Whatever it ends up as, to ever get a chance to jam with two people like that, it is a phenomenal thing for me. It's my life. It's what I've dreamed about doing."

He said it's still too early to tell what will become of these "jam" sessions, but admitted that the "possibility of doing something is in the cards. I really felt it was in the cards from the moment we walked offstage at the O2." Bonham also explained that, before there could be a Led Zep LP, "lots of politics [would need to] get ironed out," but added that recording with Zep is "something I've always wanted to do."

Bonham noticeably didn't mention frontman Plant's name during the discussion. A spokesperson for Page's management had no comment on the matter, and a spokesperson for Jones' management could not be reached by press time.

Lil' Kim Debuts "Black Friday" (Nicki Minaj) Diss Video Faith Evans Talks About Lil' Kim, "Notorious" And Raising CJ Wallace

Lil' Kim soldiers on.  Where she is going and who/what exactly she is fighting is hard to discern; nevertheless, she just dropped the video for "Black Friday."  Of course this is her Nicki Minaj diss record and you can check out both the video and pics after the cut.  Also, we have a radio interview with Faith Evans talking about Lil' Kim, the Notorious movie and raising Biggie's son CJ Wallace.

 

For those of you waiting....we have the video for "Black Friday" from Lil' Kim's mixtape of the same name.  But first, here are a few screen captures from the "Black Friday" video:

 

 

 

 

Watch the video for "Black Friday" here:

 

 

In other music news.....

 

Faith Evans called in 89.9FM KMOJ to speak to radio personality Georgia recently and talked about her relationship with Lil Kim (there isn't one), her take on Nicki vs. Kim (she's "praying" for both), the accuracy of the movie Notorious (it was based on a book) & how it feels to be raising Biggie's son (it's just like parenting her other children).

Ashley Tisdale Shoots ?High Stakes?

Here's 'High School Musical' star Ashley Tisdale on the set of 'High Stakes.' That outfit looks cute on her, doesn't it? I really like those shoes. I've had a hard time finding shoes I like this summer for some reason.Of course, I expect Ashley to look good: it's hard to look bad when you're being dressed by a wardrobe department unless you're supposed to look bad :)They're filming in Toronto. That's one of my favorite cities. Hopefully they have some time to enjoy the area rather than just shooting all the time.Photos by INF Continue reading

NO CHILD SUPPORT FOR YOU GABE! Gabriel Aubry Will Travel To NYC To Visit Daughter While Halle Films Movie

We told you earlier that the Halle Berry/Gabriel Aubry war has been downgraded to an on-going skirmish and Halle is still in the lead.  Halle recently won the rights to take Nahla with her to New York to film a new movie and though Gabriel will be allowed to visit...he has to pay for it himself.  Deets inside....

 

Radar Online reports that a judge recently granted Halle's request to travel out of state with Nahla so she may film New Year's Eve in New York afterall.  But the judge stipulated that she must allow Gabriel to spend time with his daughter while she is there. 

And while the documents in the family law case are sealed, court records showed that the judge dismissed the child custody and support petition filed six weeks ago by Gabriel.

So all seems fair right?  Halle gets to travel to New York and keep working and Gabriel gets to see Nahla.  Yes...it worked out well. But Gabe still has egg on his face.

TMZ reports that Gabe NEVER wanted to go to New York and prior to their court battle, he refused Halle's offer of a week in a fancy hotel (on her dime) while she shot her scenes (which would only last a week).  Sources said he gave Halle an ultimatum that she could either go to NY and work or stay home and be a mother.  But he wouldn't allow Nahla to go to NY.

So if all of this is indeed true, Gabe just suffered a loss because now Nahla is going to New York and when he wants to see her, he has to pay for his own airfare and hotel. 

SIDE BAR:  TMZ says Gabe's not working right now. WOMP WOMP.  I guess he'll be flying coach...
