Trent Reznor Producing New Jane's Addiction / R.I.P. Santogold

More unconfirmed news:
A photo was posted on the the Nine Inch Nails Website of Dave Navarro in the studio along with the word "clue" and “A look at something else that’s been going on, pt 4.”

Dave and Trent have worked together in the past, so this may be another solo project for Navarro. Although, after Trust No One, I've certainly had enough of that. I've also heard possible tour pairing rumblings for Jane's and N.I.N.

However if one clicks on "blog" on the mysteriously blank Jane's Addiction website they will find "Jane’s Addiction will be performing again soon in LA. If you want to attend please register for our mailing list. The first 500 people to register that are 18 years of age and older will be invited to come. If there are any changes or updates, we will post the information here. Thanks!" JA

Santogold has changed her name to Santigold on her myspace profile as well as all accompanying information. Further investigation found this news on cmj.com:
"According to court records, in 2008, Santo Rigatuso (aka Santo Gold) filed a suit against Santi White (the artist formerly known as Santogold) on June 17 in the New York Southern District Court citing trademark infringement. Rigatuso, a singer and actor, claims he's been using the name "Santo Gold" since 1983, but Santi White said she was given the nickname "Santogold" by a friend in the '80s. Santigold explained that when she was about 12 years-old, she used to wear large gold earrings that said "Santi" on them. She earned her nickname when her friends saw an infomercial for cheap gold called "Santo Gold" and used it to form what became her stage name."
