Who's Your Grinder, Man?


Yes, that's Nick Cave. And yes, that monitor is feeding the lyrics to Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious":

It was a karaoke evening unlike any other. Some of the best known names in rock and pop sang their hearts out to raise £385,000 for [last night] charity at Ronnie Scott's jazz club.

Guests, among them Kate Moss, David Walliams and Elle Macpherson, were invited to bid to hear their favourite singer belt out the classic of their choice...

£30,000 was bid to hear former Pogue Shane McGowan perform what was described as "a somewhat unique interpretation" of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire. Second highest bid was for Nick Cave's version of Destiny's Child's Bootylicious, which went for £70,000.

More info—plus pictures of Elton John looking a bit like a fright-wigged Mr. Magoo—can be found here:
