Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow is putting the “Rumours” to rest: She’s not making a record with or joining Fleetwood Mac — not anytime soon at least.

“No, that was those ‘Rumours’ — to quote the album,” she joked Wednesday, referring to the group’s 1977 hit album.

“I’m a huge fan and have a great relationship with Stevie (Nicks), and actually with all of them. I just absolutely adore them,” Crow said during a question-and-answer session with college students in Nashville as part of a Grammy Foundation event.

“I think their next album may be while I’m on the road. Hopefully in the future we’ll have some kind of collaboration, but not at this time,” she said.

DMX rapped for reporters outside a Phoenix courtroom after pleading not guilty to felony charges of theft and identity theft.

Then he plugged his new album.

Authorities allege the 37-year-old rapper gave the name “Troy Jones” and an incorrect Social Security number to a Scottsdale hospital in April to avoid paying $7,500 in medical expenses.

Following a hearing on Thursday, DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, rapped: “If you ever fall down, get back up.”

The theft and identity theft charges come after months of trouble for Simmons, who also faces multiple charges of drug possession and cruelty to animals in Maricopa County.

He is due in court on Aug. 12 for a conference relating to those charges.
