All you need is... Cirque du Beatles
What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas -- which is great news for Beatles fans.
"Love," a Cirque du Soleil show with the Fab Four's music, opened in 2006 at the Mirage in Las Vegas, and became the house show there. The remaining Beatles even allowed their former producer, George Martin, and his son Giles to remix and mash-up their songs. The result is such wickedly clever cut-ups as "Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Come Together/Dear Prudence."
And now the show has escaped Vegas. "All Together Now," a documentary about the Beatles Cirque show, is playing in theaters nationwide, and the DVD arrives in stores Tuesday.
The movie will show one night only, on Monday at R/C Ocean Walk Movies, 250 N. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach. Show times are 5, 7 and 9 p.m. Tickets are $9 adults, $7 students, $6.50 children and seniors. Information: 386-238-8339 or 238-5252.

David Alan Grier covers news with chocolate
When X-rated rapper Fat Man claimed he was fired from promoting the "No Child Left Behind" program because of racism, did the mainstream news media cover the controversy? Of course not.
But "Chocolate News," a new Comedy Central series, did.
"This is not your father's investigative news -- it's your baby daddy's," says "Chocolate News" host David Alan Grier. "We don't just filter the news -- we filter it with menthol."
Rapper Chuck D once claimed rap is the "CNN of Black America." Looks like "Chocolate News" will be "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" or "The Colbert Report" of Black America.
Catch the debut at 10 p.m. Friday. New episodes show at 10:30 p.m. Wednesdays.

Who fans clash with Clash
In 1982, The Who embarked on one of their first farewell tours. The Clash accepted the assignment to open for them at New York's Shea Stadium. Who would have thought there would be a culture clash between the aging classic rockers and the kings of punk rock?
Clash bassist Paul Simonon told the Associated Press that Who singer Roger Daltrey "wouldn't talk to us." Who fans in the crowd jeered Clash frontman Joe Strummer, who returned fire.
Only glimpses of the clash emerge on the new Clash CD "Live at Shea Stadium." But the 15-song set captures the band in one of its last blazes of glory.
