Rent, the movie, opens Nov. 23 http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/rent/ ----- Tom Petty to Receive Billboard Century Award Tom Petty will receive the Century Award, Billboard's highest honor for creative achievement, at this year's Billboard Music Awards. The show will air live on the Fox network from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 6. "This award comes at a particularly nice time as the Heartbreakers and I go into the 30th year of our career," the 54-year-old rocker said in a statement Thursday. "I'm very honored that Billboard has acknowledged me." Petty's hits include "Free Fallin',""Don't Do Me Like That" and "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," a Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' duet with Stevie Nicks. Previous award recipients include George Harrison, Buddy Guy, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana, Chet Atkins, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Randy Newman, John Mellencamp, Annie Lennox, Sting and Stevie Wonder. Petty introduced Harrison, the first Century Award honoree, at the 1992 Billboard Music Awards. ---- Instruments lost in Katrina to be replaced U2 guitarist the Edge and rock producer Bob Ezrin are working to replace every musical instrument lost to Hurricane Katrina. "It's clearly achievable," the Edge said. "Something should be done and not just because New Orleans deserves it, but because the world needs New Orleans." Gibson Guitars and Guitar Center have pledged to help MusicRising, the initiative to replace destroyed instruments and ensure the Gulf Coast's musical heritage lives on, RollingStone.com reported. "The idea that it would be just a place of history for music is awful to me," the Edge said. "Coming from Dublin in the '70s, when music was something you had to search out, I'd never dreamed that somewhere like New Orleans could exist. Music was coming out of the walls. It seemed not just a form of escapism, but like it was weaved into everybody's life." Gibson is creating a custom guitar that will be sold at Guitar Centers and the two companies have pledged a minimum $1 million from its sales to the effort, Ezrin said. MusicRising will start by replacing instruments lost by professional musicians then expand to churches, marching bands and schools. ------ Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp THIS HOLIDAY MAKE SOMEONES "ROCK AND ROLL FANTASY"?
