According
to a Mercury records meeting held this past Wednesday, the producer of
the new INXS album is indeed Bruce Fairbairn, who recently worked with
the Cranberries. The songs are written and the band goes into the studio
in Vancouver on April 15th. There is also the possibility that there will
be two "funkier" tracks produced by Dallas Austin. Mercury will be pushing
for a September release.

"I'll
bail out my Paula"
Rock star
Michael Hutchence has vowed to bail out broke lover Paula Yates, and save
her from losing her home.
Mum of three Paula - pregnant and facing debts of strl100,000 - is so
behind in her mortgage payments her house could be repossessed in three
weeks. But INXS singer Michael pledged "If Paula and the kids are likely
to lose their home I'll stop that happening. I have enough to help, an
that's what I'll do."
Michael, 36, also lashed at Paula's enemies portraying her as a "Rose
West figure" and himself as an "Evil Stepfather."
The story
then continued on pages 2 & 3! some interesting stuff that he said:
"We're expecting
a girl" ... "The scans showed it"...."I'm very excited about this." "I'm
really looking forward to becoming a father. I know some people don't
think I will stick around very long because rock stars don't do that sort
of thing. But Paula and I are truly very happy together." "We love each
other and I feel very protective towards her at the moment"

we are looking for"
