Dead Country Star: Don't Unbury My Bone

Posted Jun 14th 2008 1:16PM by TMZ Staff

A man in Orange County claims he's country legend Eddy Arnold's illegitimate son -- and wants Arnold's body unburied for a DNA test to prove it.

Arnold -- the crooner who brought us "You Don't Know Me" and "I Want to Go With You" -- died May 8, but Christopher Edward Tanner just filed a petition in Davidson County, Tenn. to have DNA testing done on Arnold's remains, as the Tennessean reports. Eddy's lawyer says that Arnold always denied having fathered Tanner.

And by the way: Tanner is 47 years old. Think he waited long enough?

I'm Rick James' ... Ditch!

Posted Aug 10th 2006 12:35PM by TMZ Staff

Call it Rick James' final impression. A massive two ton jet-black tombstone, bearing an image of the funk legend clad in tight pants, jacket and clutching a guitar, was erected Sunday at his grave site in Buffalo, NY. The grand unveiling marked the second anniversary of James' death.

The etching comes from a photo taken for his 1981 hit album "Street Songs," which included "Give It to Me Baby" and "Super Freak." The album sold three million copies and propelled him to superstar status.

Under his portrait are lyrics to an unreleased song:
"I'VE HAD IT ALL
I'VE DONE IT ALL
I'VE SEEN IT ALL
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE . . .
GOD IS LOVE."
