Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert

Angelo found the following on a Led Zeppelin web site:

Robert Plant is scheduled to appear on June 27, 2008 at London’s Hyde Park for a concert celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday.

What is interesting about this article is that “Robert Plant *and special guests*” will perform. Of course, this is mere speculation as to whom these special guests might be.

Also scheduled to perform in London are Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, Bono and The Edge, Bryan Adams, Eminem, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Buddy Guy, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Jools Holland, Joss Stone, Keane, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Lenny Henry , Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Queen with George Michael, Paul Rodgers with Robbie Williams, Razorlight, Roger Waters, Sheryl Crow, Spice Girls, Sting, Tina Turner, Vusi Mahlasela and Will Smith.

Eli Stone Finale Tonight

Here’s just a reminder that the finale of “Eli Stone” is on tonight and make sure not to miss George Michael.  Although the show still hasn’t been renewed for a second season, I’m sure we’re all hopeful to see more of George Michael in the U.S. next year.  I’m including a few of the recent articles on “Eli Stone” and George Michael:

A Fond Farewell to Eli Stone

Which all leads to one last production number, one last vision of George Michael, and one last demonstration of how to juggle show-stopping whimsy and unabashed heart in a thoroughly winning package. This episode also is a perfect example of how to end a season when you’re not sure the show itself has a future. It leaves you hanging in all the right ways, convincing you there is much more story to tell even as it satisfies you that it has told the introductory chapter and wrapped it up as well as humanly possible.

Is It “Do Not Resuscitate” For Eli Stone?

I can’t say that the initial moments of its debut episode made me especially optimistic — a lawyer has hallucinations about George Michael? — but I’ve ended up enjoying Eli Stone, which ends its season tonight. ABC gave it 13 episodes to prove itself, and while its ratings were pretty iffy (it really only scored when following the season premiere of Lost and the post-strike premiere of Desperate Housewives), I’d much rather see a second season of George Michael music than, say, the renewed and dullsville Private Practice.

‘Eli Stone’ ends season

Eli Stone hauls out the big cliffhanger for its season finale, as the title character undergoes surgery to have his brain aneurysm removed. The episode touches on right-to-die issues as Eli falls into a coma, where he sees God, who looks a lot like George Michael (the singer has been popping up in Eli’s hallucinations all season).
