11-29 - BILLIE JOE CATCHES 'NEXT TO NORMAL'
You'll have to excuse audience members at the Ahmanson Theatre on Sunday night for doing a double-take at the guests in seats K19 and 20. After all, the musical "Next to Normal," about a clinically depressed, bipolar woman (played by Tony Award-winner Alice Ripley) and her family, is probably the last place people would expect to see the lead vocalist for the rock band Green Day.
But sure enough, there was Billie Joe Armstrong, sans mascara, with his wife, Adrienne, in the center orchestra section for opening night of the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical.
The connection? "Next to Normal" composer and co-orchestrator Tom Kitt also served as music supervisor for Green Day's Broadway musical "American Idiot."
A few rows up from Armstrong sat the always-dapper Pierce Brosnan and wife Keely Shaye Smith, seeing the musical for the first time. His "Mamma Mia!" costar Amanda Seyfried also was in attendance.

11-29 - MTV
The mysteries surrounding "I'm Still Here," the documentary film directed by Casey Affleck that tracks Joaquin Phoenix's supposed breakdown, appear to have been solved. In an interview with the New York Times, Affleck admitted that the entire project was not actually a legitimate documentary (which followed Phoenix's attempts to start a rap career, do a bunch of drugs and generally fall apart) but rather a massive piece of performance art conceived by Phoenix. Even Phoenix's legendary interview on "The Late Show with David Letterman" was part of the act. Knowing that it's mostly for show certainly makes "I'm Still Here" better and lets everybody stop worrying about Phoenix and his mental health.
Hoaxes in the music world are a dime a dozen, but this particular project recalls the strange tale of the Network, the mysterious New Wave band that started to make noise in 2003 in the run-up to their debut album Money Money 2020. Their brand of twitchy New Wave didn't take the world by storm, though they did get an awful lot of ink because they started a feud with Green Day (frontman Billie Joe Armstrong put out their album on his label) while also fending off rumors that they were made up of the members of Green Day.
"I just wanted to talk about the rumors and the bulls--- that has been going on lately," Armstrong wrote in a statement in the summer of 2003. "All I gotta say is f-- the Network. These guys are totally spreading rumors. I try to do those guys a favor by bringing them to this country and putting out their record and this is how I get repaid, by talking s--- about my band. Unfortunately there is a contract and I have to put out their record. The only thing I can say is f--- you, Network. Bring it on."
The identities of the members of the Network remained closely guarded. They always wore masks and were never photographed very cleanly, and they went by odd pseudonyms like Fink and the Snoo. Meanwhile, Green Day band seemed really intent on selling the idea that they were not in fact the Network, though eventually there was too much evidence against it (namely that their names showed up in the writing credits for the songs on Money Money 2020). But that didn't stop Green Day from really trying to sell the drama, even going as far as having their publicist issue statements about how badly the Network were ruining the group's lives. They never stretched it as far as Phoenix did, but they still managed to keep people talking for a while.
