Nixes Plans for Rock Hall Reunion
The Clash
The surviving members of the Clash will not perform when they are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this month, bass player Paul Simonon said Saturday.
Lead singer Joe Strummer died of a heart attack in December. One of the most influential bands to emerge from the British punk movement of the 1970s, the Clash split up in the mid-1980s and never reformed.
Bassist Paul Simonon says Strummer had mentioned performing just before he died, but Simonon never got the chance to reply. He says he was opposed to it.
He says he thought it would be better for the Clash to play in front of their public audience rather than "a seated and booted (crowd)." Simonon also denies rumors that Bruce Springsteen would sing in Strummer's place.

Put 'Curse' on Spielberg, Geffen, 23 More
Michael Jackson
Pop star Michael Jackson wears a fake nose to cover two mummy-like holes in his face and paid $150,000 for a "voodoo curse" on Hollywood mogul Steven Spielberg despite his precarious personal finances, a magazine reported on Monday.
Vanity Fair, in an article for its March 11 edition, also reports that Jackson bleaches his skin white because he does not like black people, whom he sometimes refers to as "spabooks."
The magazine reported that Jackson paid $150,000 to an African voodoo chief who promised that Spielberg, music mogul David Geffen and 23 other people on the reclusive entertainer's list of enemies
would die. The voodoo priest sacrificed 42 cows during a special ceremony and promised Jackson that Geffen would die within the week, the magazine said.
Jackson is in such financial trouble, the magazine reported, that amusement park equipment at his Neverland Valley Ranch in central California was almost repossessed.

Sells Out 7 Shows in 1 Day
Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen's homecoming has broken a record.
Fans of the musician snapped up tickets to seven July shows in Giants Stadium, the first time in Ticketmaster history that a performer had sold tickets for seven stadium dates in a single day.
Ticket demand for three announced shows on July 15, 17 and 18 was so extraordinary that two more dates were added on July 21 and 24. When the press for tickets continued, two more shows — July 26
and 27 — were tacked on, said officials at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

Receives Award
Barry Bostwick
Tony Award and Golden Globe award-winning actor Barry Bostwick has been honored for being a nuisance — about promoting early detection of prostate cancer.
Bostwick, who played Mayor Randall Winston on the TV show "Spin City," received the Gilda Radner Courage Award from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute on Saturday.
The award is named for the "Saturday Night Live" comedian who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 1989. Bostwick, a prostate cancer survivor, called Radner an inspiration to all cancer patients.
Bostwick, 58, was diagnosed with prostate cancer six years ago after taking a test. He underwent surgery to remove his prostate and is "now as cancer free as can be," he said.

Deal to Write Children's Books
Madonna
She's done music, film and an explicit sex book. Now Madonna is branching out into children's books, signing a publishing deal with Penguin to write five titles.
The first book, "The English Roses," will be published in September, based on the adventures of a red fox and a little prince, Penguin said on Monday.
Penguin did not reveal how much it was paying Madonna to write the books, which will be pitched at children of six and over. Each book will feature illustrations by a well-known artist, said the publisher, part of media group Pearson.

West & Ward Reunite
Holy Flashback!
Holy reunion! Thirty-seven years after Adam West and Burt Ward put on skintight suits to keep Gotham City safe from the villainous Penguin, Joker and Riddler, the Dynamic Duo is back
together for a peek at what really happened behind the scenes.
West and Ward play off each other as well as they did during the swinging '60s in the CBS movie "Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt" airing Sunday at 9 p.m. EST.
In the two-hour movie, West, 74, and a rotund Ward, 57, are forced to relive their past to find clues to recovering the Batmobile after it's stolen from a Hollywood charity event.
When a bystander suggests calling the police, West in his best deadpan says, "This is a job for actors. We'll find the Batmobile."
The movie was done by the same team behind the 2001 CBS hit movie "Surviving Gilligan's Island." Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann, is co-executive producer, Duane Poole wrote the script
and Paul Kaufman is director and executive producer.
Viewers of the old show will appreciate the inside jokes, as well as familiar touches like a spinning Batmobile between scenes, cartoonish exclamations on screen during a fight, and
voiceovers (by Lyle Waggoner) leading into commercials asking if the Caped Crusader and Robin the Boy Wonder can solve the mystery.
Holy Flashback!
People on a balcony can be seen through one of the floats in the Thoth parade in New Orleans, Sunday, March 2, 2002. These people had a great place to view the many parades which
will pass their location on this, the last full weekend of the carnival season. Mardi Gras ends on Tuesday with a giant all-day street party.

The 'Joy of Hunting'
Ted Nugent
Ted Nugent was right at home at the annual convention of the Wisconsin Bow Hunters Association.
Nugent — a hunter, gun-rights advocate and co-author of the cookbook "Kill It & Grill It" — was the featured speaker Saturday as the standing-room-only crowd of about 560 people cheered when
he said people against hunting are waging a war on the American dream.
"There is nothing more perfect than hunting," said Nugent, whose hits include "Cat Scratch Fever."

In Memory
Hank Ballard
Hank Ballard, the singer and songwriter whose hit "The Twist" ushered a nationwide dance craze in the 1960s, has died.
Ballard, who was suffering from throat cancer, died Sunday at his home, friends said. Friend and caretaker Anna Ayala said Ballard's birth records indicate he was born in 1927, but biographical information lists his birthdate as 1936.
In 1958, Ballard wrote and recorded "The Twist," but it was only released on the "B" side of a record.
One year later, Chubby Checker debuted his own version of "The Twist" on Dick Clark's Philadelphia television show.
It soon topped the charts and launched a dance craze that prompted the creation of other Twist songs, including "Twist and Shout" by the Isley Brothers and "Twistin' the Night Away" by Sam Cooke.
Ballard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
In a 1996 interview, he described music as his medicine.
Ballard was discovered in the early 1950s by writer-producer Johnny Otis. He was lead singer for the Royals, which changed its name to the Midnighters.
Ballard's songs were sometimes banned from 1950s radio for their sexually suggestive lyrics.
By the early 1960s, he had charted 22 singles on the rhythm and blues charts, including "Work with Me Annie" — the biggest R&B hit of 1954, selling more than 1 million copies. The song was part of a well-known trilogy of risque R&B numbers that included "Annie Had a Baby" and "Annie's Aunt Fannie."
Ballard and the Midnighters didn't suffer from Checker's version of "The Twist." By the mid 1960s, the group had three simultaneous hits in the pop top 40: "Finger Poppin' Time," "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go," and their original version of "The Twist."
"He was an all-around entertainer. He was dynamite on stage," said friend and business associate Chuck Rubin.
Ballard said his first inspiration to be a singer was Gene Autry.
"He had a beautiful voice," Ballard said. "I used to try to emulate him, you know. I had my little toy guns. He was not my favorite fighter, though. He was my favorite singer. He was too handsome to be a fighter."
Ballard, who was born John H. Kendricks in Detroit, grew up singing in church in Bessemer, Ala. At 15, he moved back to Detroit and set out to form a doo wop group while working on the Ford Motor Co. assembly line.

In Memory
Horst Buchholz
Horst Buchholz, a German actor whose film roles ranged from a gunslinger in "The Magnificent Seven" and a Nazi doctor in "Life is Beautiful," died Monday of pneumonia. He was 69.
Buchholz, who was recovering from a broken thighbone, died in intensive care at the Charite hospital, spokeswoman Kerstin Ullrich said.
Dubbed the James Dean of German films for the rebellious teens he played in the late 1950s, Buchholz moved to the United States and scored his first Hollywood hit with a role in
"The Magnificent Seven," the 1960 western with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and James Coburn.
The next year, director Billy Wilder cast him alongside James Cagney in
"One, Two, Three." Set around the building of the Berlin Wall, the biting comedy features Cagney as a Coca-Cola executive who learns his boss' daughter has secretly married a communist, played by Buchholz.
He also made movies in Britain, Spain, Italy and France, and played a Nazi concentration camp doctor in Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning 1997 film
"Life is Beautiful."
Born Dec. 4, 1933, in Berlin's working-class Prenzlauer Berg district, the shoemaker's son survived World War II in the countryside where Nazi officials sent children to protect them from Allied bombing raids on the capital.
Buchholz landed his first stage role at 15 in a Berlin theater version of the German children's classic "Emil and the Detectives." His Broadway debut came in 1959 in "Cherie."
He is survived by his wife, Myriam Bru, and two children. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Australia and New Guinea feed on a diet of insects and spiders and will eventually be seen on display at Taronga Zoo or be used for further breeding of the species.
