KNIGHT AND DAY
MADONNA FLOATS "DROWNED"
Okay, we're gonna need everybody to calm down if we're going to announce these Madonna summer dates. That's right, the "Drowned World Tour" kicks off June 5 in Cologne, Germany and hits Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, London and other Euro-hotspots before its Stateside leg, which commences 7/21 at Philly's First Union Center, proceeds to Madison Square Garden on 7/25 and hits Boston, D.C., Miami, Detroit, Vegas and other mostly major markets before wrapping up at L.A.'s Staples Center on 9/9. And by all means, stop by the Kabbalah booth after the show.
IT’S HERE, IT’S FILLER, GET USED TO IT
In the time-honored tradition of lumping stuff together based on a superficial connection, here’s some gay music news—no, we mean openly gay. Self-described "Illest homo thug out the N-Y-C" Caushun has been busy lately, what with his "Ooh, Who Dat Be?" (Ghetto Fabulous) track getting some radio action and controversy-starved media outlets from MTV to the L.A. Times picking up his story. "I’d like to broaden people’s minds where gays are concerned," reads a quote from the MC. He’s got his work cut out for him in a genre packed with murderously homophobic rhymes. But his dreadful grammar sends a nice message to the kids. In other ill homo thug news, the soundtrack album for the envelope-pushing cable series "Queer As Folk" will be, er, coming out on RCA Victor. The dance-heavy disc will feature tracks from Kristine W, Mint Royale, Love Inc. and other artists our ultra-hip readers already know all about. And if you’re dying to buy the CD and meet the show’s cast, dash over to the L.A. Virgin Megastore on Friday, April 27 at 7pm.
