If you wanna believe the British tabloids then you'll be interested to know that former husband and wife MEG & JACK WHITE may be headed for another breakup. But, this time it's going to be a MUSICAL breakup! The British rags quote some guy who claims to be Jack's nephew and he says the WHITE STRIPES are basically satisfied with the legacy they've created and they want to end it while they're still on a high note.

WHITE WEDDING SHOCKED WIFE'S PARENTS
White Stripes frontman Jack White's unexpected decision to marry Karen Elson
on June 2 came as a particular shock to the model's parents -- they had no
idea their daughter was dating the rocker.
Elson, who hails from Manchester, England, stunned her carpenter father
Jimmy when she revealed to them that she and the rocker had exchanged
nuptials in Brazil.
Jimmy says, "I was in total shock. I asked (Karen) if she was pregnant and
whether it was a shotgun wedding. She laughed and said no.
"She then said she was going to put (Jack) on the phone. Jack said to me,
'Sir, I'm sorry I didn't ask you if I could marry your daughter.' I said,
'That's OK, but I think you owe me a pint of beer!'"
Elson's mother Carol adds, "I knew they were friends, but I had no idea they
were dating. It came as a massive shock."

MOBY was shocked when he confronted a noisy neighbour in a London hotel
and discovered it to be rock pal JACK WHITE.
GO hitmaker Moby checked into to his exclusive room in the British
capital on Wednesday (22JUN05) night after travelling by Eurostar
direct from Paris, France.
But the singer was disturbed to have his peace disrupted by loud
music pounding from the next room.
He explains on his website, "I got settled in and then suddenly my
walls started shaking because my neighbour was listening to the new
White Stripes CD very, very loud.
"I wasn't particularly perturbed, as it was only 11:30, but it's
still a little bit intrusive when your walls are vibrating because your
neighbour is listening to very loud music.
"Now, here's the funny part, it turns out that my neighbour is Jack
White and he was listening to his own CD (which makes sense to me, as
it's a good record). And the walls of this hotel are fairly thin, so I
guess he wasn't listening at deafening, ear-splitting levels."

White fixated on Catholicism
11/07/2005 - 10:38:01
The White Stripes frontman Jack White has become fixated on Roman
Catholicism, snubbing his previous musical role models in favour of
Christian saints.
The Blue Orchid rocker is so hooked on the faith he displays figurines of
his favourite religious icons on his amplifiers during shows, much to the
bemusement of his fans.
He says: "I've recently got into the cult of the saints. I've pushed aside a
lot of my musical idols and put the saints up there instead.
"The church defines them as people who have definitely made it into heaven
no matter what path they took. I have statues of various saints sitting on
top of my speaker stacks."

Jack White explains White Stripes siblings lies
31/08/2005 - 12:24:13
The White Stripes star Jack White chose to lie about his relationship with
bandmate Meg White because he didn't think music fans and critics would take
a former husband and wife duo seriously.
White insisted that his drummer was actually his sister, but a Detroit,
Michigan, newspaper uncovered the truth in 2002 and printed the couple's
1996 wedding certificate.
Although he still refuses to completely reveal the truth about himself and
his ex-wife, White insists the white lie about their being siblings was
necessary.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine: "It's funny that people think me and Meg
sit up late at night, in front of a gas lamp, and come up with these
intricate lies to trick people.
"If we had presented ourselves in another fashion. how would we have been
perceived, right off the bat? When you see a band that is two pieces,
husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, 'Oh, I see.
"When they're brother and sister, you go: 'Oh, that's interesting.' You care
more about the music, not the relationship."

SIX-A-DAY WHITE ADMITS TO COKE AD
LATEST: THE WHITE STRIPES frontman JACK WHITE has recorded a track for a
Coca-Cola advertisement - but insists he's not a commercial sell-out.
The singer confessed to having reservations about the project when
approached by the soft drink giants earlier this year (05), but now hails
the ad tune as "inspiring" and the product as "the greatest drink ever".
He says, "I've written a song and I wrote it really quickly and it's an
interesting commercial that's been made.
"We get offered commercials all the time, but it doesn't really ever
interest me very much. This was inspiring for me.
"I think it's the greatest drink ever made by man - I used to have six a
day.
"But I'm not particularly concerned with the product, I'm more interested in
getting a message across in a way that I'd never normally have the means to
accomplish."
The broadcast date for the commercial is yet to be confirmed.

Burning Question: The White Stripes on 'The Simpsons'
PopWatch Blog
9.18.06
Last night's episode of The Simpsons -- now in its 23rd decade! -- featured the guest vocal talents of none other than Meg and Jack White, a.k.a. the White Stripes...
OR DID IT??
I have now watched this YouTube clip approximately 43 times, and I remain unconvinced that Jack and Meg's speaking voices are actually theirs. The two run into Bart during a parody of the Michel Gondry-directed video for "Hardest Button to Button" -- I could explain why, but it involves Vegas and paddle ball and is really not worth the time -- and they have but one true line each. Still, after careful analysis and (since I appear to be linking to a lot of my own work here today) a couple spins of this old NPR interview, I have some serious, serious doubts about the true identity of the actors delivering those lines.
They lied to us about being brother and sister. Who knows what else this band is capable of??

White: 'Internet Is A Nuisance'
JACK WHITE dreams of a world with no internet - because the web is "a nuisance" that trivialises music.
The White Stripes rocker - who famously records most of his songs using old-fashioned analogue equipment - appreciates that modern technology connects people around the world, but he's adamant it is harming the music industry.
He tells British rock mag NME, "In my head I'm still living and working as if there is no internet, and treat it as a nuisance and use it for whatever is good about it that we can scrape together after the fact.
"The internet is a beautiful tool for many, many things, but is in direct opposition to the art of music being treated with respect, and delivered to the majority in a tangible way. As every day passes music is more and more looked at as a soundbite and a trifle."
