Really Randoms: Enrique Iglesias, Everclear

Enrique gets hot in next video, Everclear goes on the road and more

Posted Sep 12, 2000 12:00 AM

Enrique Iglesias may have told TV Guide that he was still a virgin, but the hotter-than-hot heartthrob will dispel any notions of his innocence in the forthcoming video for "Sad Eyes," the fourth single from his nearly three-times platinum selling Enrique. The video -- which is a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song -- features the hunky singer lusting over nineteen-year-old porn star Cassidey, after he spots her sexy visage in a magazine, on his computer screen and TV. After a moody interlude where Iglesias appears to be stalking the star, the two finally come together for all to witness in a see-through bathtub. The video was directed by edgy fashion photographer David LaChappelle . . .


With the first volume of Songs From an American Movie only on the shelves for two months, Everclear are already mapping out the album's second volume, Good Time for a Bad Attitude, their follow-up to Learning How to Smile, due out Nov. 21. In between radio festival dates that run from Sept. 14 in Nashville through Oct. 1 in Atlanta, Everclear will be shooting their next video, "A.M. Radio," in Los Angeles later in the month, with frontman Art Alexakis in the director's chair once again (he also shot the album's first single, "Wonderful"). One of the shows Everclear plans to play, Sept. 28 in Spokane, Wash., will be a benefit for JAMPAC, a nonprofit organization founded by former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic that protects freedom of expression for musicians . . .


Christina Aguilera postponed a Virginia Beach, Va., show Monday after a sore throat prevented her from performing. The pop singer also postponed a show Saturday in Boston, and previously canceled another one Sept. 3 in Syracuse, N.Y., though she seemed well enough to perform at last week's MTV Video Music Awards. She's expected to perform Wednesday at the Latin Grammys, while the Boston and Virginia Beach shows are expected to be rescheduled. Aguilera previously canceled appearances in May after catching the flu and an ear infection . . .


The first-ever Latin Grammys will go on without one of its biggest nominees and most anticipated performers. Marc Anthony had to pull out of the event due to complications with his wife's pregnancy. Anthony was nominated in six categories including, Record of the Year for Dimelo (I Need to Know) and Song of the Year for the title track, and would have performed a duet with one of the show's hosts and nominees, Jennifer Lopez. "At this time more than ever, I need to retreat and be with my family," Anthony said in a statement. "I hope that my fans and the Academy understand that I sincerely regret not being able to attend the ceremony and that they can find it in their hearts to include us in their prayers." The Anthony baby is expected in late February. The Latin Grammys will air on CBS Sept. 13 . . .


The Beastie Boys' new double-DVD is set for release on Oct. 10. The anthology of Beastie video material is, according to the band's Web site "the most complete collection of Beastie Boys videos ever assembled." If fans are too hungry for the videos and the myriad other DVD perks to wait until the release, the group has offered a sneak peek at the anthology at www.beastieboys.com . . .


Consider Tuesday Joan Osborne's big day. As her new album, Righteous Love, hits stores, her new Heroine Magazine for women launches on the Web at www.heroinemag.com. "That's 'Heroine' with an e," notes Osborne with a smirk, explaining that she hit on the idea after wearying of flipping through "200 pages of 'Thin Thighs in 30 Days' and the new lipstick colors'" in traditional women's magazines. "All this is not heinous, but I just felt like I would like a place to go where I didn't have to deal with that stuff if I didn't want to, and I could get more things that spoke to me." The first issue features an interview Osborne conducted with Mary J. Blige and a conversation between the Indigo Girls and Susan Sarandon. Managing editor Ingrid Ducmanis says Osborne has been the creative force behind the endeavor from the get-go. "This is totally her baby," says Ducmanis, "and she's a good, capable mama" . . .


It wasn't even close to the multi-millions that a businessman reportedly offered to get into Britney Spears ' pants, but a bidder did pony up $7,000 for a pair of the pop princess' jeans in the "Undress for MS -- Yahoo Celebrity Jeans Auction." Top sellers included jeans from Leonardo DiCaprio ($22,700) and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine costume from X-Men ($19,240). Britney's britches trounced fellow popster Faith Hills' 501s, which pulled in $1,510. All told, the auction pocked more than $114,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society . . .
