We fell into a
ring of fire with Walk the Line. We
hit the road, Jack, with Ray. And now we can
blame it on the rain with the upcoming
Milli Vanilli biopic. As reported by
Reuters, the infamous lip-syncing duo will soon have a movie made about their less-than-spectacular career. Universal Pictures is developing the film, with Jeff Nathanson (who also penned Catch Me If You Can) slated to write and direct.
Chris Cornell has parted ways with Audioslave, whose remaining members are teaming up with Zack De La Rocha for a Rage Against The Machine reunion at Coachella.
Rolling Stone talked with Cornell yesterday, and a Soundgarden reunion doesnt seem to be in the works. We ended on a great note, the singer explained to
RS writer Andy Greene. There is no unfinished business and no record to make and no more tours to play. I think thats a great thing.
Great thing for Soundgarden, maybe, but not so great for the legions of Cornell fans who want the bitter taste of Audioslave washed from their mouths
We love the folks at
Stereogum, but we think theyre being a little cruel to Al Gore. The former-next-president-of-the-US has teamed up with Live 8 creator Kevin Wall to produce the Live Earth concert series. On 07/07/07, all seven continents will help host part of this colossal concert creation. Although Stereogum calls it
The Anti-Coachella for the events supposedly lackluster lineup, we think the concert sounds pretty damn appealing. Kayne West, The Police, Genesis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Duran Duran, John Mayer, Snow Patrol, Bon Jovi, Pharrell, Foo Fighters, Snoop Dogg, Keane, Fall Out Boy, and Kelly Clarkson are among the 100+ acts performing at one of the seven concerts.
Al Gores Live Earth may not have the same indie cred as its Coachella counterpart, but
well, we dont think Gore is really worried about that. Hes concerned with global warming, environmental awareness, and generating enough money to you know save the planet before it melts. Heres the inconvenient truth, hipsters: Kelly Clarkson and Kayne West could sell out an arena in Antarctica.
Thats what generates real money, and
thats the kind of capital necessary to enact any sort of environmental change worldwide.
Ok! Time to clamor off our soap box and navigate the icy New York streets on our way home. Have a nice weekend, everybody.
