An almighty row has broken out here among the musical community regarding the soundtrack for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino adaptation of Spoof magazine saga Bordello Falls.
Some commentators say that Ennio Morricone should be rewarded with the project, but traditionalists insist that the movie soundtrack should be gleaned from the back catalogue of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, the singing banjo players who performed the theme tune to the Beverley Hillbillies.
Never in all my years as a Hollywood correspondent have I known such bitterness, such rancour among musicians regarding who should select the music for a movie.

Jon Bon Jovi, who once got shot down in a blaze of glory is involved in secret talks with Tarantino.
More as we get it.
