Briefly: Eric Clapton, Lindsay Lohan, Madonna
"Crossroads Guitar Festival," a DVD that chronicles Eric Clapton 's summer benefit event of the same name, reaches stores on Tuesday (11/9).
The three-day Dallas event, which culminated in June with an 11-hour concert at the Cotton Bowl, raised almost $2.5 million for Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a facility founded by Clapton in 1997 to provide treatment and education to chemically dependant persons. Royalties for the DVD sales will also go to the Crossroads Centre.
The two-DVD set features more than four hours of content, including performances by Clapton, B.B. King , Buddy Guy , Eric Johnson, James Taylor, Jimmy Vaughan, Joe Walsh, John Mayer, Robert Cray, Robert Randolph, Santana, ZZ Top and others.
Actress Lindsay Lohan issues her debut pop album, "Speak," on Dec. 7. The album has already spawned the single "Rumors."
Lohan starred in the motion pictures "Mean Girls," "Freaky Friday" and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," among others.
Madonna and Caresse Henry, her manager for the last 13 years, "have mutually agreed to go their separate ways," Madonna's spokesperson announced.
According to the statement, both Madonna and Henry declined to comment further on the split.
