Andy Bell, Yo La Tengo, Margaret Cho, Kelly Osbourne, Nina
Hagen, Alan Cumming, and John Cameron Mitchell will take
part in Wedrock, a benefit concert for the Freedom To Marry
Coalition, to protest the recent veto on marriage equality
by our cowardly governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The concert
happens at Avalon in Hollywood Nov. 7, and I'll also
be DJing the event ... Boy George, thought to be clean and
sober, was just arrested on suspicion of drug possession
and filing a bogus police report. Police claim he called
911 from his Little Italy, NYC, residence around 3 a.m. last
week and reported a burglary. The cops arrived and George
then staggered about his apartment apparently in "a
drugged stupor." After a quick search, they discovered
an 8-ball of cocaine next to a computer, with George claiming
to not know "how it got there." Stay tuned
... Word has it that a Britney Spears sex tape might be making
the rounds, as reports that an insider in the Spears camp
has "threatened" to release the video, which
was duplicated from Britney and hubby Kevin Federline's
private collection. Meanwhile, Britney just yanked her jewel-encrusted
bra off of eBay ... The White Stripes will be the first musical
performers on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Stewart joked
in a statement, "We've never had a musical
performance on the show before -- mainly because we were
holding out for a reunited Spandau Ballet. This will have
to suffice." The duo's appearance is scheduled
for Dec. 1 ... Rhino Records and Club Planet have teamed
up to drop a new two-CD compilation celebrating the best
house and party music from the '60s to the '90s.
DJs Riz and Sizzahandz remixed the tracks, which include
hits from Bananarama, Tom Tom Club, House Of Pain, Yaz, Soft
Cell, Chic, Aretha Franklin, Rick James, Robin S. and lots
more. Look for the Clubplanet Party Mix in stores Oct. 25
... If you're in London next year, be on the lookout
for a statue of Kylie Minogue, which is being planned for
London's gay hood on Old Compton Street. She'll be depicted
lying over an arch ... And finally, what's up with
David LaChapelle? First Madonna scrapped working with him
on her new music video, and now Jessica and Ashlee Simpson
apparently dissed the in-demand photographer by refusing
to pose for him for a Rolling Stone cover shoot, claiming
his concept went against Jessica's "morals." Ah,
yes -- but bumping and grinding in wet Daisy Dukes with
your tits hanging out while you wash a car is "moralistic"?
Oh please...
