MATISYAHU DUET PARTNER IS BEHIND BARS AGAIN HONOLULU (AP) The ukulele
player who performed a duet with Matisyahu (mah-this-YAH'-hoo) has kept
his part of the bargain: he's back in jail. Clint Alama's public
defender, Danielle Sears, says he was late returning to Hawaii from Los
Angeles because he missed a flight, but he caught another one. A video
of Alama performing Matisyahu's song "One Day" at a coffee shop on Maui
without realizing Matisyahu himself was singing along was an Internet
hit. A judge allowed Alama to perform at Matisyahu's concert in Los
Angeles last weekend, even though there was a warrant for Alama's
arrest. Alama had to turn himself in afterward or face severe
punishment. JUSTIN BIEBER LEAVES INSTAGRAM UNDATED (AP) Justin Bieber
has had enough of online haters. Bieber deleted his Instagram account
after Selena Gomez fans blasted him for posting photos of himself with
Sofia Richie, daughter of Lionel Richie and sister of Nicole Richie.
Bieber has not commented on the move, but Sofia Richie has. She tweets,
"Justin is not shutting out his beliebers. He's thankful everyday for
y'all, y'all got him here.. He doesn't forget that.. Period. Gomez
seemed to touch on the controversy by writing on Instagram, "What I
said was selfish and pointless. RINGO STARR IS A GREAT-GRANDDAD LOS

a great-grandfather. A Starr representative confirms to Billboard
magazine the birth of Stone Zakomo Low on Sunday. He's the son of Tatia
Starkey, who's the daughter of Zak Starkey, who is Ringo's son and who

UNDATED (AP) It's as good a reason as any for Alice Cooper to bring
back his song "Elected": he's running for president. Cooper's platform
includes getting Brian Johnson back in AC/DC, adding Lemmy of Motorhead
to Mount Rushmore, requiring 'cup' holders in every airplane seat and
putting Groucho Marx on the $50 bill. Find out more at

Drummer Jesse Kongos of Kongos has a mind going in several different
directions in concert. Kongos plays drums while singing songs like
their latest hit, "Take It From Me," at the same time, and that's not
easy to do. He says he has to split his brain five ways, and when it
comes to singing, that part takes the lead, and when it comes to
drumming, that part takes over. Singing does not come naturally to him,
either. Kongos says he learned to do it because he wanted to write
songs and make demos, so it became a necessity. Sound: 008-a-06-(Jesse
Kongos, drummer for Kongos, in AP interview)-"on the record"-Kongos
drummer Jesse Kongos says "Take It From Me" began as a good concert
song. (17 Aug 2016) < <
