CLEVELAND – The story of the Rolling Stones is so huge it takes 2 1/2 floors of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to tell.
The Cleveland-based museum will open “Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction,” an exclusive exhibit celebrating the archetypal rock band, on May 24.

The exhibit will be open until March 2014 and will include personal and collected items that have never before been seen by the public along with film, text and interactive components and periodic lectures on the band’s 50-year career. The entire exhibit will take up more than two floors of the museum.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the Stones recently held a series of concerts to celebrate their 50th year together and there have been rumors of more activity.
And Bobby Brown’s on the rocks — again
LOS ANGELES – Bobby Brown has been sentenced to 55 days in a Los Angeles jail and four years of probation for a drunken driving case.
City attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan said Brown was sentenced Tuesday after pleading no contest to charges he was under the influence and driving on a suspended license when he was arrested in October.
Brown was on probation for another DUI case at the time.
The 44-year-old “New Edition” singer was ordered to report to jail March 20. He also was placed on four years of informal probation and will be required to complete an 18-month alcohol treatment program.
Brown’s attorney Tiffany Feder had no immediate comment on the sentence.
The sentence was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.
This Stone cast aside by bandmates
NEW YORK – Singer Scott Weiland said he learned that he’d been fired by the Stone Temple Pilots when the band released a one-sentence statement to the media Wednesday.
“I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press,” he wrote in a statement. “Not sure how I can be ‘terminated’ from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that’s something for the lawyers to figure out.”
The statement by the band simply said: “Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland.”
Weiland said he’s focusing on his solo tour, which kicks off Friday in Flint, Mich.
The 45-year-old has dealt with drug addiction, run-ins with the law and two failed marriages.
