GNR reunion in doubt
LONDON - Will Guns N' Roses reunite for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Behind his dark glasses, hat and big hair, the group's former guitarist Slash is staying noncommittal on the subject.
The million-selling hard rock group enters the Rock Hall in Cleveland on April 14, an event at which honored acts often perform as part of the celebration.
But the group's original lineup fell apart in 1996, so fans hoping to see the band reunite may be disappointed.
Slash says of the induction: "It's definitely an honor and I have no idea what's going to happen on that day."
Instead he is busy with his latest solo album, "Apocalyptic Love," due out in May.

Producers said Tuesday that the film "Barrymore" will be shown at cinemas in Canada beginning in May and throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other countries in October.

Plummer recently won an Oscar for the romantic comedy "Beginners."
CNN lifts Martin's suspension
LOS ANGELES - CNN analyst Roland Martin's suspension has been lifted, the news organization revealed Monday.
Martin ran into trouble on the day after the Super Bowl when tweets he sent during the game raised the ire of gay organizations, including the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The comments concerned Martin's distaste for an H&M ad featuring soccer star David Beckham.
He wrote: "If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him."
Though Martin claimed the tweet was meant to show his distaste for soccer and soccer fans, many felt the comments were homophobic. CNN suspended Martin shortly after.
During his suspension, Martin met with representatives of GLAAD. According to a statement from GLAAD, "(b)oth parties came away with a better understanding of one another and look forward to continuing this dialogue."
CNN made the announcement of Martin's return during a conference call with the media on Monday, according to FishbowlDC.
