Durst Readies Lyrics As Limp Eyes
Cypress Tour
Fred Durst recently rejoined his Limp Bizkit
counterparts in a Los Angeles studio after heading
home to Florida to crank out lyrics for the band's
upcoming album.
Durst spent roughly two weeks in Florida writing
lyrics for Limp's third album, tentatively titled
"Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored
Water." Much of the music for the album has
already been recorded, but the anticipated album
now looks like it will arrive later in the summer than
the July 4 release originally planned.
When the album turns up, it will feature beats
courtesy of Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz on
at least one track.
Until the album is wrapped up, Limp's tour plans
remain uncertain, though Cypress Hill says that
they have been approached about touring with the
band later this summer.
"It's going to be some outrageous stuff going
on there," Cypress Hill's B-Real told MTV News
Wednesday night at the Online Hip-Hop Awards.
"Fred called me, and we had been wanting to
do a tour for a while, but it never really
happened. So eventually time passed, and we
were able to hook it up."
Also on Durst's plate is a cameo appearance in
Eminem's new video for "The Real Slim Shady."
The clip makes its debut on a one-hour special
"Boys From Detroit" episode of MTV's "Making The
Video," which also features a clip from Kid Rock.
The show will air on April 24 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT).
Fred Durst Gets Fincher's Advice On
Film Project
As Limp Bizkit continues to work on the follow-up to
1999's "Significant Other" in a Los Angeles studio,
frontman Fred Durst has apparently firmed up plans
to begin shooting his first feature film, "Runts," in the
fall.
"Variety" reports that Durst has had several meetings
with "Seven" and "Fight Club" director David Fincher
to help break down the script, which was penned by
William J. Cloakley and Christian Van Gregg and
deals with a suffering and picked-upon high school
student who eventually strikes back against his
enemies.
Durst has committed to the project, while Fincher will
likely serve as an executive producer in order to
mentor the Limp Bizkit singer through the process.
Last year, Durst's name was connected with another
movie, "Nature's Cure," for Warner Bros., but a
suitable script has yet to be completed and approved
by the studio.
New Line will have the first option to produce the
flick, although other studios are being courted, and
Durst has allegedly pledged to involve either Limp
Bizkit or his friends in Korn on the film's soundtrack
as a selling point.
It is unclear when Durst would find time to direct
"Runts" in the fall, as he had originally planned on
starting the project after completing a tour to support
Limp Bizkit's forthcoming album, which has been
pushed back from its original July 4 release date.

Limp Bizkit Meets Swizz Beatz For Upcoming
LP
The members of Limp Bizkit are all hard at work on their
new album, and the group has chosen, once again, to
call on one of hip-hop's finest to put together some of the
beats.
A representative of LB's Flip/Interscope Records label
confirms that the members of the band are now in a Los
Angeles recording studio working on at least one track
with Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz, who has crafted
hits for the likes of DMX, Eve, and Jay-Z.
Limp Bizkit previously scored a huge hit with the song
"N2Gether Now," a track that featured the Wu-Tang
Clan's Method Man and was constructed by sought-after
hip-hop producer DJ Premier of Gang Starr.
The Interscope rep also told the MTV
Radio Network that the band members
have already completed eight of the
basic tracks for the new LP.
While studio work continues in Los
Angeles, Limp frontman Fred Durst has
returned to his old stomping grounds in
Florida to work on lyrics for the album, which is
tentatively titled "Limpdependence Day".
The album is expected to hit stores on July 4.

More on M:I-2 song
Limp Bizkit's theme to the Mission: Impossible 2 Soundtrack, which hits stores on
May 9th, will be impacting radio in mid April. The track was recently leaked to the
net and has been available in mp3 format from several sources since last week.
The track can best be described as the classic Mission: Impossible theme, meets
"Break Stuff", meets "Rearranged", meets Nas and Puff Daddy's "Hate Me Now".
The Limp Bizkit track, along with Metallica's "I Disappear" (also from M:I2) hit radio
early last week and were quickly met with Cease And Desist orders from Hollywood
Records to have stations stop playing the track. Expect videos for both tracks
before the release of the soundtrack.
