Here's a couple of things I found on the net:

Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart, Richie Sambora, Melissa Etheridge, Kiefer Sutherland, Mick Fleetwood (from Fleetwood Mac), Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Brian Johnson of AC/DC for Rock The Cure Charity.
What:
Hollywood's brightest stars, including Expedition Inspiration Auction Chair Tea Leoni, David Duchovny, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor and others, will gather at Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles for "Rock the Cure," a star-studded event to raise awareness and money for The Expedition Inspiration Fund for Breast Cancer Research. The event will feature a live auction of 50 custom-made Gibson SG Special guitars designed and decorated by such rock icons and entertainment greats as Sheryl Crow, Rod Stewart, No Doubt, Richie Sambora, Ellen DeGeneres, Melissa Etheridge, Kiefer Sutherland, David Carradine, Mick Fleetwood, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Brian Johnson of AC/DC, and others.
A guitar designed by Wendy and Kim Cobain, mother and sister of late multi-platinum Nirvana front man, Kurt Cobain, will also be sold. Kurt's mother is a breast cancer survivor and has decorated the Cobain Family guitar with never-seen-before photos of the grunge artist. Money raised will fund promising new research at the USC/Norris and UCLA/Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centers, both leaders in cancer prevention and research.
The event at Hard Rock Cafe Los Angeles is closed to the general public, but consumers will have the opportunity to begin bidding on the guitars April 24, 2005 online at

Bon Jovi prepare for 2005 album and tour
Bon Jovi were forced to perform in a parking lot in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past weekend because they attracted too large of a crowd.
The rock band was in "Sin City" to help celebrate Hard Rock's tenth anniversary, but had to have a special stage built outside because the venue couldn't hold all the fans.
Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi said: "We couldn't play in the Club because the VIP list alone was more than the club held so they had to build a makeshift stage in their parking lot." The frontman also revealed that he and his band will be hitting the road this November for a concert trek in support of the yet-untitled album for which they anticipate a September release.
