Gnarls Barkley secret New York show details revealed

The location of Gnarls Barkley�??s secret New York show has been unveiled as the Fillmore at Irving Plaza, with Battles announced as the opening act.

As previously reported, the band will play a Myspace secret show in the city on June 8, marking the 150th such show presented by the social networking site.

Neil Diamond�??s May 7 show at the tiny venue The Bitter End in New York was one such show, and artists from The Cure to Justice have all played the series so far.

Gnarls Barkley are currently supporting the release of their album �??The Odd Couple�?? which they released in March, several weeks earlier than the scheduled release date.

Madonna Scraps Documentary Screening At Glastonbury

Madonna has scrapped plans for the U.K. premiere of her documentary I Am Because We Are to be held at an English music festival, after tickets for the event failed to sell. The Holiday hitmaker was reportedly planning to screen her latest documentary, which focuses on the plight of Malawian children, at Britain's Glastonbury festival later this month . However, the event has struggled to shift tickets, with rapper Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter's headlining slot at the event being blamed for a decrease in demand, as the festival usually focuses on a rock-orientated line-up. According to the Britain's Mail On Sunday newspaper, the Queen of Pop wanted to follow the screening with a possible question and answer session with festivalgoers, but has been put off by the lack of interest in this year's event. A source tells the publication, "Madonna hoped the film could be shown on the Saturday and there was talk of a question and answer session. "But poor ticket sales for the festival put her off. After talks with the organisers it was decided the festival was not the right venue to showcase the film."

Guard at Carnegie museum charged with vandalizing painting

PITTSBURGH - A former guard at the Carnegie Museum of Art has been charged with vandalizing a painting he apparently did not like.

Timur Serebrykov, 27, of Pittsburgh, faces a formal arraignment on July 29.

Court documents indicate the suspect used a key or other implement to cut or gouge the unidentified painting because he apparently disliked it.

Museum spokeswoman Betsy Momich would not comment beyond confirming that a piece of art was vandalized and a suspect was arrested. Police and court documents described the painting only as being worth more than $5,000.

Police spokeswoman Diane Richard would not comment.

The Carnegie Museum houses works by 19th-century artists Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt and Camille Pissarro, as well as 20th-century painters Marsden Hartley, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.

Serebrykov was arrested May 20, four days after the vandalism allegedly was caught on surveillance tape.
