For Cook's debut, "David Cook," out Nov. 18, he enlisted a rock all-star team. The album was helmed by Rob Cavallo, the producer behind Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus," My Chemical Romance's "Black Parade" and the last five Green Day discs.

(Newser) – The skeletons are back in the closet for OJ Simpson today after a judge said a lawyer for the Goldman family—who won a civil verdict against the former football star in the slaying of their son—can't testify in Simpson’s current armed-robbery trial, AP reports.

Los Angeles Times Los Angeles Times Oct 4, 08 2:08 PM CDT
(Newser) - Don't expect a miracle legal rescue to set OJ Simpson free anytime soon, writes Richard Abowitz in the Los Angeles Times .
