Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy Sullivan dies
Rising heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold’s drummer, Jimmy Sullivan, died Monday at his Southern California home, Reuters reports. James Owen Sullivan — whose nickname was “The Rev” — died of natural causes at age 28. “Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers,” the band said on its website, “but more importantly he was our best friend and brother.” The band, which Sullivan co-founded in 1999, hit No. 4 on the U.S. pop album chart in 2007 with its latest, self-titled album. Sullivan was known for penning the song “A Little Piece of Heaven,” a joking ode to necrophilia, and for a 2006 Revolver magazine story detailing his dabbling in cocaine and other drugs.

'Jersey Shore' town distances itself from show
Seaside Heights, N.J. — the home of MTV’s controversial new reality hit Jersey Shore — is all but disowning the show that has made it infamous, the AP reports. In a statement Monday, the borough said it “did not solicit, promote, or participate in the filming” of the series about 20-somethings in a beach house; it merely issued routine permits allowing crews to shoot in its jurisdiction. Jersey Shore has been criticized by Italian-American groups for its stereotypical portrayals, and town officials say it does not reflect the majority of its visitors.

Van Morrison (NOT) a father at 64
UPDATE: On Dec. 31, representatives issued a statement on behalf of Van Morrison saying that this widely reported story was in fact a hoax, ”completely and utterly without foundation.” The misinformation was blamed on a hacker attack on the singer’s website.
Singer Van Morrison has become a father again at age 64, BBC News reports. In a statement on his website, the Irish-born crooner announced the Monday birth of George Ivan Morrison the III to Morrison and his manager, Gigi Lee. The “Brown-Eyed Girl” singer also has a 39-year-old daughter, singer-songwriter Shana Morrison, from his first marriage to Janet Minto.
