50 CENT GETS APPROVAL FOR BANKRUPTCY PLAN HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A
federal bankruptcy court judge has given the go-ahead for 50 Cent's
plan to get his finances back on track. The Hartford Courant reports 50
Cent will make a $7.4 million payment to begin settling his debts. His
bankruptcy filing from last July estimates he owes $36 million and has
assets of less than $20 million. The plan calls for creditors holding
unsecured claims to get 74 to 92 percent of the money they are owed
over the next five years. The faster 50 Cent pays, the less he has to
pay. A woman who won an invasion-of-privacy case against him after he
put her sex tape online has agreed to take $6 million instead of the $7
million awarded by a jury. MIRANDA LAMBERT MOVES ON FROM HER

Tishomingo says it is closed and under new management. Lambert recently

divorced last year and she has moved to Nashville. KENNY CHESNEY PUSHES
BACK RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM NASHVILLE (AP) Kenny Chesney is delaying the
release of his next album because he couldn't pass up a duet with Pink.
Chesney was supposed to put out the album "Some Town Somewhere" this
week. He's moved it to October 28 so he can add the song "Setting the
World On Fire" with Pink. He describes her voice as having "joy,
desire, a bit of toughness, a little hurt. Chesney says it may be a
while before he releases another album and the song is so good he
doesn't want to wait until then to share it. THE REVOLUTION WILL PLAY
