Duran Duran's new album to be released in May, 2000. Watch for a special version of Rio on South Park, Comedy Central 10pm PST, as sung by Santa Claus. Did Duran get royalties for this?
October 21st, 1999
Duran Duran signed with Hollywood Records and were offered $7,000,000 each.
www.duranduran.com has been taken off the airwaves so as to revamp the site in anticipation of the new album, Pop Trash Movie.
Duran Duran won a libel lawsuit against The Sun (a sleazy tabloid mag) for printing the notion that Duran had to pay actors to play fans. This came from them believing Duran hasn't been doing anything lately. The headliner said: "Simon le Gone fans are paid $30 to cheer on Duran Duran." What a crock.
Don't forget to check out the new Nine Inch Nails, Sting, David Bowie and Fiona Apple CDs this October and November! The new Bowie and Sting are wonderful CDs. British music evolution in its finest form.
here is the cover to the new david bowie cd entitled Hours...
Apparently, Drew Barrymore will be the new Barbarella in the remake of the sex-laden, campy sci-fi flick "Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy." As you know, that's where Duran Duran got their name.

Lyrics for Hallucinating Elvis are below:
I
was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
Elvis
Hawaii to Las Vegas
Special treatment
all the way
Hallucinating Elvis
Missing eighteen
hours
losing Oxygen to
the brain
lying on the floor
There's a limit
how much more I can
take
rhinestone inside
my shoe
coz I'm turning
into you now
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
Elvis
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
I was hallucinating
Elvis
FBI are tapping the
King's phone
'74 he's trapped in
his home
hidden cameras, two
way mirror walls
Walkie-talkie kung-fu
then the president
calls
I was hallucinating
Elvis
Hawaii to Las Vegas
Special treatment
all the way
Hallucinating Elvis
Missing eighteen
hours
losing Oxygen to
the brain
whoever has to know
tune in to my show
What you see isn't
what you get
Shootin' movies and
the T.V. set
Elvis Elvis Elvis
Elvis
Elvis Elvis Elvis
Elvis
