Limp Bizkit Eyes Tom Cruise For "M:I2"
Video
As the members of Limp Bizkit continue to work
on their forthcoming album, the group already has
plans for its next video, but it's not for any of the
tracks on the band's "Significant Other."
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst will soon return
to the director's chair to shoot a video for the
band's contribution to the soundtrack of the
upcoming "Mission: Impossible 2." The "M:I2"
album will also find Metallica kicking in a new cut
called "I Disappear," a new Rob Zombie song
called "Scum Of The Earth," and the Foo Fighters
and Brian May teaming to cover Pink Floyd's
"Have A Cigar."
In bringing Limp's version of the series' legendary
theme song to television, Durst hopes to rope in
"M:I2" star Tom Cruise for the clip. "We're going
to be out in the middle of the desert, my
band, just standing there with our gear on
the dirt," Durst told MTV News recently of his
plans for the video. "[The] wind's blowing
and tumbleweeds.... We're just going to be
looking at each other like, 'What's the deal?'
It's going to cut to Tom Cruise in the car with
his co-star, the girl [Thandie Newton], and
she's gonna go 'So where we goin'?' And
he's gonna punch on the navigation system
and it's gonna go 'Mr. Cruise will be there
exactly in...' and the car's gonna pull right in
front [of us]. He's going to get out of the car
and sit in a chair, right in front of us, and I'm
gonna be like, 'So is the song gonna be in
the movie?' And he's gonna go, 'I don't
know. Let's check it out.' And we're gonna
start performing the song, and he's really
unaffected. Pretty much throughout the song
he's gonna get more and more into it. By the
end of the song, I'm gonna have him dancing
like 'Risky Business.'"
While the plan looks good on paper, a
spokesperson for Cruise says that the actor is
not yet confirmed to appear in the video due to
scheduling conflicts.
The "M:I2" soundtrack is slated to drop in early
May, with the film to follow shortly thereafter.

News on New LP
Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst took a break from
recording his band's new album to rub elbows with
Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Stiller, Lauren Holly, and
others at the Playboy mansion late last week.
Durst was one of many music notables (including
rapper Xzibit and members of Korn, No Doubt,
Hole, and Orgy) who turned out last Thursday for a
party marking the release of the "Playboy" Sex &
Music issue. The April edition of the magazine
(which features cover girl Bijou Phillips) features the
winners of the magazine's readers poll, including
Limp Bizkit's Video Of The Year award for "Nookie."
At the party, Durst addressed Limp's progress on
its new album and also revealed the band's DIY
solution to its recent split with producer Rick Rubin.
"I decided to produce it myself," Durst told MTV
News. "It's going really good. We've got like
nine songs (written). We're going into the
studio Monday to start recording, and
hopefully we'll create like five or six more
songs in the studio."
In addition to those revealing facts, Durst also joked
that the new album will be called, "'Chocolate
Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water'...I'm
Chocolate Starfish, and the band is the Hot
Dog Flavored Water."
A spokesperson for Limp's label, Flip/Interscope,
noted that the album is still being assembled under
the tentative title "Limpdependence Day," and it's
tentatively slated for release on July 4.

Christina Opts for a song with Fred
Pop singer Christina Aguilera has recently been quoted saying she's tired of her teen-pop image and would like to record a duet with Korn or Limp Bizkit.
"I would love to!" raves the 19-year-old. "Can I tell you? Just doing something off the hook with Fred Durst would be really, really cool. I'm a big fan of theirs. To tell you the truth, pop music is what I listen to least, because my mind's always wandering off to different places. I never want to be a straight pop artist myself. I'm a big fan of Limp Bizkit, Korn, and I love the Rage Against the Machine record."
Sure Christina, you just keep dreamin' of getting that dream duo with LB or Korn.....
