RedOctane, Activision, and MusiCares have recently announced that they will be holding a charity auction event, and that various celebrities have agreed to pitch in.

Dubbed as "Rock, Paint, Bid", the project will basically consist of celebrities who will each be given a Guitar Hero II controller for them to design, customize and personalize.

The finished pieces will then be put on public display at Hi-Lo in Austin, Texas from March 9 to 18, 2007 and an online auction will be held from April 3 to 13, 2007.

The proceeds of the auction will go to the institution known as MusiCares, which was established in 1989 by The Recording Academy. The aim of this organization is to provide financial, medical, and other forms of critical assistance to struggling musicians. By doing this, MusiCare aims to positively impact the music community.

Celebrities who will be contributing to this event include:

Armor for Sleep Buckcherry Danny Masterson Dashboard Confessional Designer Missy Broome The Films Hot Hot Heat Tenacious-D Jack's Mannequin John Lacroix Kelly Slater Martin Bros. Bikes Meg & Dia Metalocalypse

Mister Cartoon Mototek-Ducati My Chemical Romance New Era Cap Nickelback Paul Frank Industries Quiksilver The Rocket Summer The Spill Canvas Suicide Girls SURESHOT Tony Hawk Will Rhoten-Decade Clothing

Jake Shears and the rest of Scissor Sisters will be performing alongside an amazing line up of DJ and snowboarding talent playing in a series of unique Game with Fame events at the Xbox Big Day Out in Val d’Isère, France.

The band will team up with the likes of French DJ and producer Martin Solveig, UK superstars Fabio & Grooverider and Quiksilver riders including Mathieu Crepel, Danny Wheeler and Jakob Wilhelmson to take on gamers across Europe, direct from the Alps later this month.

The official Jeep website describes Jeep Wrangler Unlimited as such - "The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has double the cargo space, more rear passenger room, a 10-inch-longer wheelbase, and an additional 5 inches behind the rear wheels for greater on-road comfort and off-road capability.
