Yoko Ono, the wife of Beatles legend John Lennon, has sued two music companies for $10 million, claiming that they have denied her royalties.

The claim, filed in Manhattan's Supreme Court, accuses EMI and Capitol Records of "willfully and knowingly under-reporting royalties".

The papers also claim that EMI and Capitol hid the "true use and disposition of Lennon's recordings" whilst "intentionally and systematically rendering dishonest and grossly deficient accounting statements".

Although refusing to comment specifically on the Ono case, EMI and Capitol lawyer Jeanne Myer said that there are "sometimes differences of opinion" on royalties.

It appeared his life was picture perfect, but now Keith Urban says he's been battling substance abuse and has entered a treatment rehabilitation center.

According to a statement issued by Urban's publicist, the country singer checked himself in last night with Nicole Kidman, his wife of two months, by his side.

Urban says "I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me." He adds, "One can never let ones guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have."

Urban's statement ends with this message: "With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome."

All immediate appearances by Urban have been postponed.

Westlife have waded into the Girls Aloud/All Saints war and urged GA to keep it buttoned.

Talking to MTV UK News, Kian said, "I think Girls Aloud should shut up - that's my opinion."

"I just don't think there's any need for (bad-mouthing another band). Girls Aloud should look and learn from All Saints. They have the experience and have made amazing music," Mark added.

The battle of the girl bands was sparked earlier this month when Cheryl told us All Saints' new song 'Rock Steady' sounded like a Girls Aloud tune.

"They must have looked at what's working at the minute and thought, 'We'll go that way'," she said.

All Saints responded by saying, "They are stupid little girls and we don't really give a f**k."

Westlife's Shane went on, "People who slag you off don't go on to sell even a tenth of the albums (of the band they diss). Someone will be smiling at the end of this."

We can't wait for the ensuing chart battle: Westlife's 'The Rose', All Saints' 'Rock Steady' and Girls Aloud's 'Something Kinda Oooh' are all released next month...
