Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé and Linkin Park grabbed three nods apiece for this year’s American Music Awards, to be held November 18th at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. JT and LP will compete against Daughtry for the show’s coveted plastic trophy in the Favorite Pop/Rock album category. Jimmy Kimmel will serve as host as for the fourth consecutive year, while Daughtry, Fergie and Rihanna are scheduled to perform. Moby has finished work on his new album, Late Night. The record, which is “more electronic and dance-oriented” than 2005’s Hotel, is scheduled to be released sometime in spring 2008. N.W.A’s genre-forming Straight Outta Compton will be reissued as an expanded album December 4th to mark its almost-twentieth anniversary. Bonus tracks include Snoop Dogg and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony covering tracks from the record. Counting Crows’ new album Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, which we recently Fall Previewed, has been pushed back from November to January. Details concerning animal-cruelty allegations against rapper DMX have been released. The specifics are too graphic for us to even type. DMX still doesn’t face any exact charges, but if the reports are correct, we predict he and Michael Vick might be sharing a jail cell in the near future.
