Rumors have been waffling back and forth as to whether AC/DC will actually be performing at WrestleMania XXV but, according to WWE.com, their songs War Machine from Black Ice and the live version of Shoot to Thrill from AC/DC Live will be the official theme songs for the telecast.

Aretha's Hat
The Smithsonian Institute has asked Aretha Franklin to donate the hat that she wore at President Barack Obama's inauguration on January 20. Franklin performed Let Freedom Ring prior to the swearing in ceremony.
Franklin told People magazine, “I am considering it. It would be hard to part with my chapeau since it was such a crowning moment in history. I would like to smile every time I look back at it and remember what a great moment it was in American and African-American history. Ten cheers for President Obama.”

Sir Paul to Stay Home in 2009
Paul McCartney will not be touring in 2009 because he doesn't want to leave his five-year-old daughter Beatrice for a long period.
A source says, "Paul and Beatrice have a real routine going, there's no way he'll disrupt that. Paul has enjoyed touring in the past but right now the priority is definitely Beatrice. He couldn't bear the thought of being away from her for any stretch of time so a full-length tour is out. He much prefers doing one-off shows."

Bruce Rocks the Halftime Show
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band gotthe most of their 12 minutes during the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show, adeptly rocking through the classics "10th Avenue Freeze Out," "Born To Run," "Glory Days" and the new song "Working on a Dream."
"I want you to put the chicken fingers down and turn your television all the way up," Springsteen commanded as the band jumped into the vintage sing-a-long "10th Avenue Freeze Out," which was played at the three-minute running time of its studio version on the album "Born To Run." In their live performances, the group usually turns the song into a 15-minute jam.
With Springsteen and guitarists Steven Van Zandt and Patti Scialfa on a platform in front of the stage, a choir joined the group for "Working on a Dream," the title cut of the new Springsteen album released on Jan. 27.
The set concluded with the "Born in the U.S.A.," the legendary "Glory Days," which was an appropriate choice for its reference to a "hail mary" pass. After the final note sounded, Springsteen shouted, "I'm going to Disneyland!"
