INTRO: The latest celebrity headlines including sad news for "Boston" fans, plus Courtney Love's unpaid rehab bills and a stunner at the North American box office.
STORY: The lead singer of the rock band Boston has been found dead. 55-year old Brad Delp was at home and there was no indication(徵兆) of foul play(犯罪), according to police. Boston scored major hits in the 1970s and 80s including their signature (特徵) anthem(頌哥) "More Than a Feeling."
Meanwhile in South Carolina, a temporary(暫時的) resting place(休息處) for James Brown(詹姆斯布朗). The Godfather(教父) of Soul(黑人靈魂樂) has reportedly(根據報導) been entombed(埋葬) in a family crypt(地窖) until a public mausoleum is built. Brown died of heart failure(心臟衰竭) last December – and family members have since been squabbling(爭吵) about burial arrangements.
In other celebrity news, some trouble for Busta Rhymes' acting career. The rapper has been banned from the set of his current film after city officials in New York raised safety concerns. Rhymes is persona non grata(不受歡迎的人) with the New York Police Department after he refused to cooperate with them during a murder investigation last year.
Courtney Love is in hot water again - but this time, it's about money, not drugs. The troubled singer has been sued by a luxury rehab centre after she allegedly failed to pay a 180,000 (USD) dollar bill.
On the music front(方面), yet another honour for Mary J Blige (瑪麗布萊姬). The star, who cleaned up at the Grammys(葛萊美獎) in February, has just won best R&B album by a female artist at last weekend's Soul Train Awards.
And finally, a stunning(超讚的) coup(成功之舉) for "300" at the North American box office. The blood-soaked epic racked up(累計) the biggest opening ever for a March release, thanks to a whopping(巨大的) 70 million dollars in ticket sales.

【引言】本周最新的娛樂頭條新聞,包括有會令波士頓搖滾樂團樂迷心碎的消息,柯尼‧拉夫繳不起康復療程的帳單,還有「300斯巴達勇士」一片在北美獲得亮眼的票房成績等等。
【報導內容】在七零、八零年代,以「不只是感覺(More Than a Feeling)」一曲紅極一時的波士頓搖滾樂團(Boston)的主唱,布萊德‧戴爾普(Brad Delp),被人發現猝死於家中,享年五十五歲。根據警方表示,現場並沒有任何犯罪的跡象,已經初步排除他殺的可能性。
而在南卡羅來納州 (South Carolina),有黑人靈魂樂界教父之稱的詹姆斯布朗(James Brown),自從去年十二月,因心臟衰竭去世後,他的家族成員為了他的葬禮相關事宜爭吵不停。根據報導,目前詹姆斯布朗的遺體,將暫時安置於家族地下墓室,直到政府設立的公墓興建好為止。
其他娛樂消息方面,饒舌歌手巴斯達韻(Busta Rhymes)的演藝生涯,遭遇到了困難。紐約市官員以安全考量為由,禁止巴斯達韻在紐約市街頭,拍攝他的最新音樂錄影帶。自從去年,巴斯達韻拒絕配合紐約市警方偵辦一起謀殺案後,他就被列為不受歡迎的人。
柯尼‧拉夫 (Courtney Love) 再度陷入窘境中,不過這次是因為金錢的緣故,而不同於以往是因為毒品事件。根據傳聞,一家高檔的康復中心,控告柯尼‧拉夫未能支付十八萬美金的帳單。
在音樂消息方面,瑪麗布萊姬(Mary J Blige)又獲得另一項殊榮。才剛在二月份的葛萊美獎 (Grammys) 上大放異彩,囊括多項大獎的瑪麗布萊姬,在上週末的靈魂列車獎 (Soul Train Awards )上,又贏得了最佳節奏藍調女歌手獎。
最後一則娛樂消息,「300斯巴達勇士」一片在北美獲得亮眼的票房成績。由於這部充滿血腥味的史詩規模電影,票房累計達七千萬美金,因而成為三月初最賣座的電影。
