Stone Sour's newest

For the last few months, Stone Sour has been in the studio working on their fourth studio album. Frontman Corey Taylor took to his Twitter account on Monday to reveal the name and the release date for their upcoming double album. The singer tweeted, “The new Stone Sour album is a 2-part double concept album called House of Gold and Bones (HoGaB), parts 1 and 2. Part 1 will drop in Oct '12.” The singer added that the second part will be released sometime in 2013, tweeting, “Part 2 will drop next year. 24 songs, 12 on each disc. Each disc will include one half of the story.” Taylor also listed a number of song titles that are expected to be a part of the upcoming album’s track list, including “Absolute Zero,” “RU486,” “A Rumor of Skin” and “Taciturn.” In addition, Taylor tweeted that he will be working on creating a comic book to go along with the album as soon as he can “lock in the company who will help me put it together.” Taylor only has a couple of weeks to finish the new album before donning his Slipknot mask and heading out on this year's Rockstar Mayhem Festival with Slayer and Motörhead. That outing kicks off June 30 at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, CA.

Slash gets a star

 Slash is getting ready to celebrate another milestone. The guitarist, who was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with Guns N’ Roses, will get his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of recording. Slash will receive the 2,473rd star on the Walk of Fame during a ceremony taking place in front of the Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard on July 10 at 11:30 a.m. PT. Legendary film producer Robert Evans and actor Charlie Sheen will speak at the event. “Slash is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time,” said producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies Ana Martinez in a statement. “We are proud to place his name among the stars on our fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame.” Last month, Slash released his second solo album, Apocalyptic Love, featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

NOT Zombie Apocalypse??

Florida investigators say the Miami man whose vicious face-eating attack left his victim with his eyes, nose and mouth chewed off may not have been a cannibal after all. An autopsy of Rudy Eugene's body found there was no human flesh in his stomach, just a few undigested pills that will take several weeks to be identified through toxicology tests. Authorities suspect Eugene may have been high on a street drug known as "bath salts" during the recent attack, in which he was naked and had to be shot to death by a police officer as he chewed on the face of Ronald Poppo. The grisly assault on Poppo, a homeless man, lasted for 18 minutes and was captured on nearby surveillance cameras. Poppo, 65, remains in critical condition after police say 75 percent of his face was devoured by Eugene. The bizarre attack was one of the first in a string of unrelated cannibalistic incidents that has been dubbed the "zombie apocalypse."

Snooki Exposed

Snooki has a reason to be stressed, and not just because she's pregnant. Nude pictures of Jersey Shore star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi have leaked onto the Internet and have been published in censored form by Britain's Daily Mail. The photos, reportedly taken before she became pregnant, feature her wearing an opened robe that exposes her body. Snooki's rep tells E! News, "Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public."
