Cranberries stars could face off in the High Court

Things haven't been quiet lately in Cranberry-land. It's all been good news up until today. Apparently Dolores has initiated high court action (in US terms: filed a lawsuit) against Noel.  No other information is given at the moment but hopefully these two can work things out - out of court.

I actually checked to make sure this website wasn't a tabloid site but the news is getting picked up by other outlets.

Dolores working on 3rd solo album?

Marco Mendoza, who worked on Dolores' first two albums, says he's been working on new songs with her for a possible third solo album.

Well, we’re working on her third album. We really don’t know at this point if it’s going to be an album. There’s some songs, some movie possibilities, a lot of things cooking in her world so we’re working on that right now. We’ll see.
