Rocker-actress Courtney Love, who spent much of the ‘90s railing against major record labels during her legal battle with Geffen Records, has, according to Billboard, signed a new three-record contract with a major label, Virgin Records. She reportedly retains ownership of her master recordings in the deal. Her first album for Virgin, “America’s Sweetheart,” is due Oct. 28 and will feature several songs she wrote with hit songwriter Linda Perry. Love also is expected to start a U.S. tour on Nov. 10.

Fox’s new series “Banzai,” a parody of Japanese game shows that drew flack even before its premiere Sunday, performed impressively with its target male audience. The series was the highest rated show among males during the 8:30 p.m. time period.
