Ex Babyshambles drummer's new band play Madame Tussauds
Ex Babyshambles drummer Gemma Clarke performed with her new band, The Krak, at Madame Tussauds, London yesterday (June 24).
Taking to the stage at 10.30am (BST) the band played a short acoustic set, with Clarke on bongos, surrounded by wax models including Marc Bolan, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna, Freddie Mercury and Beyonce.
The band then held a second guerrilla type gig at London's Met Bar afterwards and none other than Kings of Leon came down.
The Glastonbury headliners popped in to check out the group after the bar sent round an e mail to their members saying The Krak would be playing these two shows as well as the same festival as the American foursome.
This isn't the first time The Krak have done a guerrilla gig though.
Last year they made history by being the first ever band to play the Orient Express.
Speaking to NME.COM after the gig Gemma Clarke said: "The whole vibe of the day was wicked - I loved it."
She added she was shocked to see Kings of Leon at the second leg of their guerrilla gigs saying: "When they walked in I nearly dropped my tambourine - they stayed to watch the whole show."
The Krak are scheduled to play every single day at this year's Glastonbury in support of their debut single 'Madame Riviere' out June 30.

Jonah Hill Gives ‘Transformers 2’ Its First Bad Review

Transformers 2 to Possibly Be Crappy: Recent, subsequently scuttled reports that Jonah Hill was to star in Transformers 2 were very nearly correct. According to an IESB tipster, Hill was offered a part and allowed to read the top-secret screenplay in Michael Bay's office. He read twenty pages then left, probably because it looked exactly like the fake script that we wrote. [IESB]
Norton Publicizes: Despite this morning's reports, Edward Norton did a little publicity for The Incredible Hulk, appearing on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live in a semi-funny skit on which he presumably was allowed final cut. [Defamer]
The Happening Basically As Stupid As Predicted: New Republic film critic Christopher Orr thought M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening was so idiotic that, instead of reviewing it, he's posted a list of the eighteen things he found most inane about it. Surely there are more! [TNR]
Coke Rapper Inexplicably Implicated in Coke Case: A witness testifying in the trial of a suspected Atlanta drug-dealing ring claims that Young Jeezy purchased several kilograms of cocaine, which we find hard to believe. [Creative Loafing via Gawker]
But We Would Go See Comet the Super Horse: The list-making Photoshop experts at Cracked have created movie posters for the "20 Superhero Movies We Hope They Never Make," and nineteen of them are hilarious. [Cracked via Beat/PW]

Farrell replacing Ledger in movie?
It has been reported that Colin Farrell is one of a trio of stars who will replace the late Heath Ledger in his final film 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'.
The film website Ain't It Cool News is reporting that Farrell, Johnny Depp and Jude Law will all play the character played by Ledger in scenes not yet shot for the Terry Gilliam-fantasy.
In the film Ledger's character falls through a mirror on four separate occasions and changes his appearance.
'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' tells the story of a travelling show which offers its audience the opportunity to choose between light and dark.

Talk Radio Host James Whale Fired For Boris Endorsement
Radio talkshow host James Whale has been sacked by Talksport for publicly endorsing the London mayoral campaign of Boris Johnson.
The outspoken presenter urged listeners to cast their vote in the London elections in favour of the Conservative candidate, breaching official broadcasting guidelines in the process.
Whale, who had presented phone-in shows for Talksport since its launch in 1995, made the comments during his late-night show on March 20th.
Though Mr Johnson ended the London mayoral election as the victorious candidate, Ofcom guidelines prohibit presenters from expressing political preference in the run-up to an election.
A spokesman for the station said the termination of Whale's contract was "very unfortunate".
"We have investigated the matter and after serious consideration, the station reached the decision that there was a clear breach of the rules and that we had no choice but to terminate his contract," he said.
"James Whale is guilty of a gross error of judgement, which we found to be totally unacceptable.
"Talksport has acknowledged the seriousness of the complaints received, does not excuse the content of the broadcast and has told Ofcom that it has taken steps to prevent this happening again."
Stuart Hobday, the presenter's agent, said his client was "deeply disappointed" at his sacking.
"He's spent 13 happy years at Talksport," he told the BBC. "He's saddened at the way this has happened and it's come as a huge shock."
Ironically, Whale considered standing for London mayor in 2006, reportedly to represent the UK Independence party.
