Leary: 'Show Will Help O'Neal Stay Sober'

Tatum O'Neal's Rescue Me co-star Dennis Leary is convinced the drama series will help the actress stay sober - because her character will also be forced to kick alcoholism. The star was charged with a minor narcotics offence earlier this month after cops caught her exchanging money with a dealer three blocks from her New York home. She claimed the incident was her first lapse in sobriety after a longterm battle with drug addition. O'Neal subsequently joined a recovery program for alcoholics. And Leary - who plays O'Neal's onscreen brother in the show - is convinced that as her character is battling a drinking problem in the upcoming second season, she will be able to put the experience to use in real life. He tells AOL Television, "(Her character, Maggie) got clean at the end of last year and we have this game plan for her that involves staying sober, so it's probably gonna work in Tatum's favour. We were in the middle of planning the next bulk of Tatum's work before (her drug bust), so she's got a place to come back to."

Taylor Swift To Rock With Def Leppard!

So country music and heavy metal have more in common than the mullets.

Apparently teen singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has always dreamed of rocking out with British rock giants Def Leppard!

And CMT is going to make her dream come true by arranging for them to play together for Crossroads, the show that pairs country acts with stars from other genres.

Even though Def Leppard formed more than decade before the multi-platinum selling country cutey was born, the Our Song star says that they're still her favorite rock band.

"Every time I've seen Crossroads on CMT I've always thought, 'If I ever get to do one of those, it has to be with Def Leppard!,'" said 18-year-old Taylor, "so this is really a dream come true for me.

"I have been screaming the words to Def Leppard songs for years, so it's amazing that I'm going to get to share a stage with them this year!"

Taylor and the five piece from Sheffield, England, will perform for an invitation-only audience in Nashville in October.

Coldplay Play Wembley Arena Gig For Family And Friends

Coldplay warmed up for their forthcoming world tour by performing to 900 specially invited guests at Wembley Arena in London last night (June 13th).



The audience, which consisted mainly of family and friends, were treated to a full 16-song set from the band, who return to the road on Monday (June 16th) with a concert at the Brixton Academy.



Joking with the audience, frontman Chris Martin told them to excuse “this embarrassing shambles of a rehearsal.”



“This reminds me of when my dad, who is 107, took me to Torquay for a pre-season game against Liverpool — and they were absolutely shit,” he said.



“We see this as a pre-season and we’ll be on it when the season starts. Luckily none of you have spent a blind penny.”



The band’s set comprised largely of songs from their new album ‘Viva La Vida’, which sold 125,000 copies when it was released on Thursday (June 12th).



The album, the bands fourth record, is expected to top the charts on Sunday.



See Gigwise’s shots of the band in action below…
