MORE UNLIKELY RECORD LABEL BOSSES: We're not quite sure how swimsuit model and guest actor from 'Just Shoot Me' Lunden De'Leon actually came to be head of her own indie label, but she's certainly got the art of gushing press release down already:



"With Lunden's popularity, it was only natural for her to be named "One of the Most Beautiful Women in the World" by an online poll, Voted "One of the Top Rising Female Stars" by International Black Women Magazine and "The First Black Actress to Star in an Online Series" for her role in the internet television series "Sitcom".

Yes, only natural. But she's picked up some knowledge about the industry she's now cutting a swathe through:

"Since starting my label, I have a greater respect for labels like Def Jam, Bad Boy, No Limit and a number of other successful indie labels." ... I just shan't name any of the others. (Although, of course, Def Jam is part of Universal...)

Since you ask, she appears to have one artist, D H Peligro. No, us neither.

DH Peligro is famous among a certain subculture in America for being the drummer for the Dead Kennedys (and for a minute, the Red Hot Chili Peppers). He also has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.

I knew of his past; I wasn't aware that he'd put out an album...

the whole concept of drummers releasing solo albums is something that's one that the UN should consider addressing: Phil Collins, anybody?
