SHIRLEY AT THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS' GIG 

Shirley was at the  Yeah Yeah Yeahs' second sold-out Irving Plaza gig on May 8.
Shirley Manson and Marilyn Manson arrived separately but probably felt compelled - because they are both rock royalty with the same last name - to sit together in the V.I.P. area. It was their first meeting, oddly enough! Shirley came with Rolling Stone editor Joe Levy.

JESSY MOSS MEETS BUTCH VIG 

Australian rapper/singer Jessy Moss landed a record deal. Her debut, Street Knuckles (Australian slang for "stories"), due out July 29th, reflects her multi-faceted story and influences. Moss weaves together rock, hip-hop and R&B. 
Moss co-produced her record with Hahn, Camara Kambon (Eminem, Dr. Dre) and Butch Vig (Garbage, Nirvana). Vig signed on after hearing Moss' home-recorded demos. "There was something really fresh about her," he says. "I get tons of new artists all the time -- from rock to pop to everything in between -- and it's rare where something strikes you that much. It's a combination of the way she sings and her attitude. She's got that kind of raspy, growly voice and she can also sing that smooth butter tone."
