MUSIC BITS: LL to host Image Awards; Vista repels iTunes; Justin Timber-baked.
*Rapper-actor LL Cool J has been chosen by the NAACP to host its annual Image Awards, to be held in Los Angeles on March 2 from 8 to 10 p.m. and broadcast live on Fox. “We are pleased and honored to have LL Cool J host our first live telecast,” said executive producer Vicangelo Bulluck. “His humor, intelligence and incredible talent will make the awards an exciting evening to remember.” NAACP Image Award Honorees include Bono, Bill Cosby and Soledad O’Brien.
*iTunes users beware of Microsoft’s new Windows Vista. Apple Inc. says to hold off upgrading your computer to the new operating system because it may not work well with iTunes music software. In a statement, Apple said iTunes may work with many Vista computers, but the company knows of some compatibility problems and recommends that users wait until it resolves the issues with an iTunes update in the next few weeks.
*Nearly four years after Justin Timberlake was famously “Punk’d” to the verge of tears on the MTV show’s premiere, the performer says his glossed-over eyes were not due to a fear of having his personal belonging seized by the Feds. Timberlake says he had just finished smoking some weed and was high as a kite. “Yeah, that was a trippy experience. That was why I was completely glassy-eyed,” he says in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly. “As a matter of fact, I was like, OK, I got to stop doing this. I don't do that anymore."
