Slash Launches Fan Contest

Rocker SLASH is searching for a superfan to act as his guitar technician for a day.

The star has invited his most loyal followers to submit a video to social networking site MySpace.com explaining why they should take over from his longterm instrument engineer.

They'll then get the chance to try out their guitar tuning ability for Slash at an upcoming show in Seattle, Washington.

The rocker's current technician says, "We wanna give Slash's ultimate fan the chance of a lifetime and be me for a day. You'll get to hang out with Slash!"

Baldwin To Host Peta Awards

ALEC BALDWIN is set to host People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' 30th anniversary awards gala later this month (Sep10).

The 30 Rock star has long championed the organization, joining forces with the group in 2008 to promote their film Blinders, which documented the harmful effects of horse-drawn carriages.

And the actor is looking forward to taking on presenting duties for PETA's upcoming 30th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards in Los Angeles.

He says, "Peta has become a cultural force through creative campaigns that have made society re-examine its relationship with animals. Nobody looks at fur, meat, circuses, or animal testing the way they did 30 years ago. Peta has brought us a long way, and we have a lot to celebrate."

The ceremony will take place on 25 September (10).
