Beck has just finished working on his latest studio album with producer Nigel Godrich (who probably deserves to be in the Hall someday based on his resume). Considering Beck worked with Godrich on the acoustic masterpieces Mutations and Sea Change, look for Beck to release a similar album this fall. Godrich also worked with Thom Yorke on his solo album, The Eraser, which will be released July 11th.

Now that David Lee Roth has been fired from morning radio, he's free to predict Van Halen reunions every chance he gets.

One of the more glaring omissions in the Rock Hall inductions in recent years has been Van Halen. After the album 1984 was released, there was no bigger band on the planet. The breakup with David Lee Roth shortly thereafter only put a small dent in their popularity, and they continued to be one of the biggest bands in hard rock / heavy metal with Sammy Hagar at the helm. In 1988, Van Halen even headlined the Monsters of Rock stadium tour with the Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica and Kingdom Come.

The stars are beginning to align for a triumphant Van Halen reunion on stage at the 2007 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Count on it.

Beyonce plans to release her second solo album, "B'Day," on September 5th, the day after she turns 25. How cute.

The former Destiny's Child is on a direct path towards future induction into the Rock Hall. She collaborates with legends like Stevie Wonder and (her boyfriend) Jay-Z, she's picking up Grammys by the handful, and she's a movie star. As long as she doesn't get lost in hollywood, she should make the Hall in 2028.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale welcomed the birth of their baby boy, Kingston, on Friday. In related news, the other members of No Doubt were hoping to do some babysitting.

Although Bush and No Doubt don't have much chance of making the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the offspring of two charismatic artists should have an early advantage over the other 2051 nominees.
