Wham! to reunite?

When he's not falling asleep at the wheel and doing his first major tour in 15 years, George Michael is convicing ex-Wham!-mate Andrew Ridgeley to reunite. The UK's Sunday Mirror reports that the '80s hit-making duo is getting back together for a reunion Christmas concert at London's Wembley Arena. The duo, who had a string of early-1980s pop hits with songs like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," played a farewell show in 1986 at Wembley Stadium and have not appeared together since. "George is thrilled that Andrew's agreed to perform," a source told the paper. "It was something George had thought about for a long time. He couldn't be happier and can't wait for the gig." The paper reported that the duo will be joined by their one-time backup singers their backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie. Both men are 43 years old.

Cat Power to model for Chanel

In a year that saw her battle alcoholism and look death in the face, enigmatic singer Cat Power (Chan Marshall) is now set to become the new face of the Chanel's jewelry collections, according to a report in Women's Wear Daily. Marshall has long had a penchant for Chanel jewelry and clothing and told the trade mag that she recently bumped into Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld. "I was outside waiting, sitting on a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage, drinking water, with an apple and a cigarette in my hand, my cell phone, oh, and two guitars, and out comes Karl," Marshall said. "He walks up, looks at me and says, 'Only a woman can look glamorous when smoking.' And I lowered my glasses and pointed to [the shadows under my] eyes and said, 'With these?'" That was enough to seal the deal, apparently.

Who frontman to appear in CSI

For the first time and likely the last, Roger Daltrey is following in the footsteps of Kevin Federline. Just as Federline did this week, the Who frontman, whose voice opens every episode of the hit CBS show CSI, is set to guest star on an upcoming episode. Producers are keeping details about his character under wraps, calling it "a surprise role that will keep viewers guessing." The song "Who Are You" by the Who has served as the theme for CSI since the show's launch in 2000. Two other Who songs, "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Riley," are the themes for spinoffs CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, respectively. Daltrey is no stranger to the acting world. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his portrayal of the title character in Tommy, the film adaptation of the Who's rock opera, and he recently completed filming on Extreme History, a series for the History Channel. The Who is on tour in support of the new album Endless Wire, slated for release October 31.

All-American Rejects to guest on Smallville

Rock band All-American Rejects will serenade Superman and company on the popular CW show Smallville. The band is set to perform its new single, "It Ends Tonight," on tomorrow's episode of the show. The episode, titled "Whither," revolves around a guilt-ridden Lex Luthor--who caused mayhem and destruction while in the form of Zod--throwing a charity costume ball for the town. To make sure the festivities come off with a cross-promotional zing, he hires the Rejects to play the party. The Rejects released sophomore record Move Along last year and saw the album land in the Billboard top ten. "It Ends Tonight" is the most recent single from the album.
