EW 9/20: BROS. IN ARTEMIS: The PRETENDERS - who've been with Warner Bros. Records for 23 years - have left and signed with an indie, Artemis. "Basically, we were dropped," says Chrissie Hynde. "We weren't selling records. But we were delighted to get away, because it had become so impersonal, I didn't even know who the president of the company was." Their new CD, Loose Screw, comes out on Artemis this fall, and Hynde hopes to use her new connections to cozy up to a certain 30 ODD FOOT OF GRUNTS singer and labelmate. "I'd like to talk RUSSELL CROWE into putting his film career to the side and touring with us. I've heard their new album; it's good. Russell, you decide - actor, rock star? The choice is yours

He's come to Austin a few times.

The Pretenders were just on the Caroline Rhea show tonight. This rumor was brought up and Chrissie said that apparently everyone's heard about it but Russell. I guess she found out that if you want some free publicity and your name mentioned in a bunch of newspapers, all you have to do is say the name of a certain famous actor.
