Two former Destiny's Child members have filed suit against the group, contending the Grammy-winning song "Survivor" made derisive comments about them. LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson contend the song is in violation of a previous settlement, which precludes either party from making "any public comment of a disparaging nature concerning one another."

A line in the song "Survivor" says: "You thought I wouldn't sell without you, sold 9 million." In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Destiny's Child attorney Tom Fulkerson calls the lawsuit "ridiculous... It's unfortunate that the plaintiffs have nothing better to do with their time than to dream up new lawsuits to file." He adds that all issues were "put to bed" in their previous settlement agreement.

U2 frontman Bono also has a few thoughts about survival. "It's still an extraordinary thing to behold, the sound of a rock band in full flight," said Bono, as U2 picked up four Grammys. "The promise that your friendship will survive commerce, being broke, not being broke, some really lousy haircuts, the '80s, and that maybe 20 years later you may find yourself at an awards ceremony with the same people you started out with and just think, 'Wow!' Thank you so much.'"

Luke Perry's new Showtime series, "Jeremiah," is set in a dark vision of the future, a world in which survivors are on the move, scrounging for whatever they can get. Perry, a former star of Fox's "Beverly Hills, 90210," says work on the series - being shot in Vancouver - is physically demanding. "We're always going to a new place. The characters are in perpetual motion, therefore we are constantly in perpetual motion," said Perry. There are very few standing sets, and many of the scenes are shot outdoors. "It rains a lot in Vancouver," said the 35-year-old actor. "We said, when it rains, it rains, and we shoot it for rain. That's the choice that we made and that's the way we approach it. Whatever the weather, the elements throw at us, we just figure it into the ball game and keep going."

Bob Dylan is in talks to take on his first major film role in 15 years. The legendary musician might star in an Intermedia Films project tentatively titled, "Masked and Anonymous." "He is very interested in the project," said Nigel Sinclair, one of the film's producers. "We're working out some of the details with him." If he signs on the line, Dylan would play the role of Jack Fate, a troubadour who is brought out of prison by his former manager for one last concert.

Dubbing some of his sister's lines in "Queen of the Damned" helped Rashad Haughton cope with her death. Aaliyah, known for hits such as "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number," was killed in a plane crash last year. The 22-year-old R&B singer had finished filming the starring role which was to be both her first and last, but some of her lines needed to be touched up. "I was seeing her and hearing her voice over and over again," Haughton told reporters. "It allowed me to really come to grip with the fact that she's not here - but she is in a way. "Her art is here forever, so in a way she is immortal. Some people have a box of trinkets or some clothes when things like this happen, but we have a lot more," he said.
