Tonight (Tuesday, 3 June) "Hip-Hop" group the Black Eyed Peas are playing a hastily arranged benefit gig for around 700 people at the Shanghai Concert Hall.

Although previously set up as a brown-nosing corporate show for Chivas and Pernod Ricard the invite-only show will now apparently help victims of the Sichuan earthquake in some way.

"We will invite our VIP guests, main customers in China, along with media to the concert"

The concert also will feature Hong Kong star Karen Mok, as seen in Stephen Chow's comedy blockbuster "Shaolin Soccer".

Thanks to Michael D Manning for the tip.
