NGL_16zztop.JPGThat little ol' band from Texas has signed a contract with Rick Rubin's respected and successful American Recordings label, according to billboard.com. ZZ Top will take to the studio with the celebrated Mr. Rubin producing what promises to be a new CD with a '70s La Grange kind of sound, not the slicker '80s style of Eliminator. With any luck Mr. Rubin can do for the Top what he did for Neil Diamond and the late Johnny Cash -- recharge the band's career both critically and commercially. No word yet on a prospective release date for the upcoming disc.

NBC The Today Show.JPGSo Miss Kylie, whose newest CD, X, is an underrated gem perfect for workouts and the dance floor, received an Order of the British Empire (an OBE) from Prince Charles Thursday during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, according to The Australian. The 40-year-old Australian singer was honored for her more than two decades service to music. You go, Kylie!
