Briefly: Mandy Moore, Michael Stipe, Foo Fighters, Beanie Sigel, Johnathan Rice
Mandy Moore and R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe have collaborated on a cover of The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows."
The song will appear in the upcoming movie "Saved," which stars Moore and was co-produced by Stipe. The movie hits theaters on May 28.
Foo Fighters have signed on to take the place of Guns N' Roses at Lisbon's Rock in Rio festival on May 30.
GN'R announced last month that it was backing out of its scheduled appearance at the event due to the departure of guitarist Buckethead.
Rapper Beanie Sigel reportedly pled guilty on Thursday (4/8) to federal drug and weapons charges, and is expected to spend about three years in prison.
The charges date back to 2002, when police said he fled during a traffic stop. A search of his SUV turned up a loaded handgun, Oxycodone, codeine and marijuana.
Sigel also faces attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting a man in West Philadelphia in July of 2003.
Johnathan Rice has wrapped up the recording of his debut full-length album, titled "Trouble Is Real," which is expected to hit stores later this year, according to Reprise Records.
The Scottish-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter will pave the way for its release with a series of residences in New York (at The Living Room on April 6, 13, 20 and 27), Los Angeles at The Hotel Cafe on April 10 and 24) and Philadelphia (at Tin Angel on April 21 and 28).
