Would Annie Lennox lie to you?

Depends on who you ask. The old Eurythmics singer said she got sacked by Sony BMG...
Lennox, 53, said she was shocked at the way she was treated by the company which once hailed her as "one of the finest musical voices of the age". AdvertisementSony BMG has about as good a reputation among music lovers as Bush has with liberal voters, but this time around they say it's not their doing that took Annie off the label...
Soundgenerator.com quotes her as saying: "They totally ignored me. It was bizarre. It was a kick in the teeth. They didn't return my phone calls or emails for three weeks. I'm trying to find out what's behind it.
"The quotes attributed to Annie's dissatisfaction with her label arose out of a trip in December to South Africa and have no relevance to the expiry of her contract," said a Sony BMG statement.Sony BMG still wants to work with her, no doubt because her last CD hit number seven on the British charts. I have no idea why I'm bothering to keep looking into this, but Annie could be full of it since she was complaining that she didn't know whether or not she wanted to do another record deal about a week ago.
Can't trust anyone in the entertainment industry. I mean, think about it, K-Fed ended up being the sane one in the Britney relationship. Weird.
Oh look, EMI is going to fire a couple thousand people. They'll use the cost savings to find the next Coldplay. Great.
