There are two Guns n Roses cover bands making the rounds these days that have the kids talking. One, of course, is fronted by Axl Rose, but those guys don't even bother to try and LOOK like the old guys. That's no fun. They sound pretty good though. The other is long running, self proclaimed "Drunkest GnR cover band in the world," Mr. Brownstone, who we interviewed last week. While they lack any actual members of the original band, they at least look the part. It helps. It was somewhat more satisfying to hear some kid in a messy black wig jump up on the drum riser and play the opening chords to 'Sweet Child of Mine' than it was to see this guy do it.

Of all the possible "celebrities" you'd expect to get in a fight, Axl Rose would probably be on the list. But designer of preppy clothing that rapper somehow took a liking to, Tommy Hilfiger? At Rosario Dawson's birthday party at Plumm (VIP Room, natch) last night, apparently Axl Rose moved Hilfiger's girlfriend's drink down the table. And maybe she was jostled by Rose. A witness tells the Daily News, "Tommy put his hand out, Axl grabbed Tommy's arm and pushed it hard, and Tommy came back with a fist." Then, pow pow! Hilfiger punched Rose in the cheek, and then security came over to separate them - the Post says people starting running from room and trampled Kid Rock! Hilfiger was thrown out of Plumm, while Rose stayed to perform, dedicating "You're Crazy" to Hilfiger.

Before getting cast on the Surreal Life, going to rehab, getting engaged...or whatever else celebrities do while white knuckling on to their career and/or become "edgier", they go to Misshapes. Love it or hate it, this party gets more press than some of it's guest stars on the decks.

So the art world is all over the case of an Andy Warhol painting is missing, stolen, or what. The painting is "Red Elvis," and Ralph Blumenthal follows it's provenance, or at least tries to. It paints an interesting picture of Peter Brant, the painting's current owner, a bizarre colorful character. Peter Brant is a publisher-entrepreneur and happens to be married to Stephanie Seymour, who is best known for her Victoria's Secret modeling and immortalization as Axl Rose's perfect woman in November Rain, that melodramatic power ballad about love that has an even more melodramatic video, complete with Slash leaving the wedding ceremony in the middle and going out to play some guitar. Aw, yeah.
