Audioslave Daddy Exposes His Child to Drugfest?

Audioslave front man Chris Cornell was out and about with little Toni at the Fashion Rocks thingie the other night at Radio City Music Hall. Just the sort of thing you want to take your child to, really. A bunch of emaciated supermodels and coked out rockers all celebrating what passes for fashion. Yep, that's where I'd take MY 4-year-old daughter. Give her all sorts of unhealthy images about what women should look like. Very healthy.

Cornell has two other children, as well. His second child with current wife Vickey is Christopher (2-1/2). And there's Lillian Jean, 8, from ex-wife Susan Silver. I suppose he decided to take them on a crackhouse field trip later.

Former Soundgarden dude Cornell has a new solo album (Scream) coming out next month. Why are you yelling? Oh, no, "Scream" is the name of the album. It wasn't a stage directive. Get this, the new album is produced by...wait for it...Timbaland. No shit. If Chris Cornell starts rapping, I'm going to claw my ears out.

Solange Knowles is Mother First, Artist Second

When Solange Knowles, little sister of megastar Beyonce Knowles, was 13 she was a dancer for Destiny's Child. Since then, she's written songs for Destiny's Child and Beyonce, gotten married, had a child, and gotten a divorce. And her new album "Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams" was just released.

Solange is supposedly a lot more mature than when she released her first solo album in 2003. "I changed dramatically. I was 17 years old when I got pregnant. At 17, your whole life is about going to prom and going to the mall shopping and really not about much. But soon as you find out you're welcoming a child, your life is changed drastically," Knowles says.

That's the mother of all understatements.

She's 22 now. "You have definitely more morals. You definitely have more of a conscience, and your first priority is your child. Everything I do from this point on, I have him in the back of my mind. At this point, I think also being a mother has given me the courage to do the things that truly make me happy. The best part right now is being a mom - being Julez's mom. At the end of the day when all of this is over, I just want to make sure my son is happy with me as a mom first."
