Nothing in life is free, unless you’re famous. But even freebies can put you in trouble as Metallica’s bass player is finding out. The band’s bassist, Robert Trujillo, is in the middle of a serious legal battle. He had an existing promotional deal with Fernandes Guitars in North Hollywood. For being able to use his likeness in advertising, the company was giving Robert a pile of custom basses. However, Metallica has its own promo deal with ESP Guitars and now that Robert is part of the band, their lawyers have slapped Fernandes with a cease and desist letter demanding that they no longer use Robert or Metallica’s name or likeness.

Us is reporting that it looks like Usher is rehiring his mama Jonetta Patton as his manager and cutting ties with music big shot Benny Medina. Rumors have been swirling that Usher was pissed off that his latest album did middling numbers and cut the cord with Benny only to reattach one to his mom who had been his manager until last year. Back then, the speculation was that he ditched his mom because she and his wife Tameka Foster didn’t get along. Well, Tameka better get used to having the in-law around because Jonetta actually helped her son make the money that feeds Tameka.
