Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Jamiroquai is attempting to perform the highest ever concert. Jay Kay and his band will perform a ‘Gig In The Sky’ on February 27 aboard a Boeing 757 at 35,000 ft. The gig will be attended by a Guinness World Records official to see if the band can make the record. Jay Kay will take off from Munich in Germany, play a greatest hits set and then land at a secret location in Europe. In a statement he said: "No one has ever done a gig like this before. Rock ‘n’ roll is all about pushing the boundaries and ‘Gig In The Sky’ certainly does that."

I guess that is their way of proving they are still around because I thought they broke up last century? 

The daytime drama Guiding Light will celebrate its 70th anniversary with a year of volunteering. The CBS show’s cast and crew will kick off the effort in January, spending a week in the Gulf Coast to rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. In conjunction with the volunteer organization Hands On Network, Guiding Light stars will take on service projects in a different city each month. "Seventy years ago, Irna Phillips created Guiding Light with one fundamental theme in mind: the brotherhood of man," the show’s executive producer, Ellen Wheeler, said in a statement. "We’re hoping that this theme … will motivate people to be the change they wish to see in their communities." Guiding Light holds the Guinness World Record as the longest-running show in broadcast history. It debuted on radio in 1937 and moved to television in 1952.

Believe it or not soap stars are some of most giving of their time in the biz. Maybe because they really appreciate the work and don’t take it for granted?
