Members of Neil Young's entourage are assessing the damage after fire swept through a San Carlos, California warehouse today containing the classic rock star's property. Firefighters say they've managed to save about 70% of the property inside the storage space on Quarry Road in San Carlos. Still, officials say they believe at least two of Young's six vintage cars were destroyed. Authorities say the warehouse also contained dozens of boxes of memorabilia including guitars and paintings belonging to the La Honda resident. Officials say Young has been notified about the fire. Authorities are placing the damage to the contents at $750,000 although some of the property may be irreplaceable.

SLASH - BACK FROM CALI
Slash fans are facing a delay before the rocker's new video with Fergie is released - because the raunchy clip needs to be censored. The guitarist teamed up with the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman to record new track Beautiful Dangerous, but Slash admits the kinky promo they shot will have to be edited before it hits screens. He explains, "It's very controversial. I thought it was OK but apparently there's a lot of suggestiveness and we're having a rethink. There was a lot of t**s and a**." In the video, the singer plays a stalker who lures the former Guns N' Roses star to her apartment, where she ties him to a bed and licks him - before stabbing him. Well guess what!? 94X has obtained a copy of the original video and you can check it out on the Matt Porteous blog AND on today's 94Xposed page at 94xfm.com!
