Here’s an odd couple: Will Ferrell and Andre Benjamin sat down for an interview with Complex Magazine to promote the movie “Semi-Pro.”
I just love this commercial Ferrell did for Bud Light, by the way.
Back to the article. It’s an interesting read; you can tell the two have become friends, and Ferrell even displays a bit of Outkast knowledge at one point.

Local boy Jack Johnson scored his first Rolling Stone cover last week. The issue should be in stores now, and the RS website has an excerpt of the full story posted online.
Additional pictures of Johnson are posted as well.
One interesting note: Rolling Stone also reports that Johnson sold 179,545 copies of “Sleep Through the Static” during its second week of release, enough to keep him on top of the sales charts despite an assault by winners from this year’s Grammy Awards.
It looks like Kokua Fest tickets are going to be even harder to come by this year.

I haven’t heard much from the folks at Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company since I covered their grand opening in January 2007.
According to owner (and freestyle motocross legend) Carey Hart, however, business at the tattoo shop on the fringe of the International Marketplace has never been better.
“Hawaii has turned out to be an extremely good location for Hart and Huntington Tattoo,” Hart said in a statement. “Our upscale atmosphere draws in the tourists as well as the locals.”
Hart will return to the islands next month for a pair of public appearances. He’ll sign autographs at the shop on March 1 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. before heading to an anniversary party at Lotus Soundbar later the same evening.
But I don’t think his wife, national recording artist Pink (pictured above with Hart), will be making the trip. News broke today that she plans to file for divorce, after Hart was seen in public with another woman.
This really hasn’t been a good year for Pink – her bulldog drowned in January, and now she’s getting divorced?
I wonder what will happen to her in March.

It seems – to me at least – that Honolulu’s club kids really enjoy getting dressed up to party.
Now, I’m not talking about a spiffy three-piece suit or an elegant cocktail dress. Themed events (e.g. “Black and White Party,” “Pink Party,” “Heaven and Hell”) have been pretty trendy in recent years, with some promoters even returning to the same theme on a semi-regular basis.
DJ Vegas Mike, for example, embraced an 80’s prom theme last year for the Valentine’s Day edition of his weekly “Acid Wash Wednesdays” party at NextDoor.
After seeing how much people enjoyed themselves, he decided to to do it again with the same cover charge setup used in 2007. Those who arrived dressed in theme got in for free, but everyone who didn’t had to pay a $10 “penalty” at the door.
I’ve got more pictures from last week’s second annual “Acid Wash 80’s Prom” after the jump.
The concerts just keep on coming in 2008, with three different genres represented over the next few days.
Tomorrow and Sunday bring the final appearances of the Police in Hawaii. Their recent reunion will be short-lived, as the band plans to call it quits – for good – after another stretch on the road this summer.
Star-Bulletin HiLife editor Gary Chun wrote something about the Police in today’s paper; he also got an interview with the Starting Line’s Matt Watts in advance of that group’s Tuesday appearance at Pipeline Cafe with All Time Low.
And my weekly column, “In the Mix,” has all the details on tomorrow’s Questlove concert at Pipeline. I’ve also got the scoops on a few post-Valentine’s Day theme parties, plus more picks for the weekend and a tidbit about two ladies with Hawaii ties in this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Motion City Soundtrack returned to Honolulu on Wednesday for a gig at Pipeline Cafe with local openers Olivia the Band.
I missed these guys the last time they were in town. So off I went, arriving around 7 p.m. with my camera in tow.
More than 25 pictures from that night, after the jump.
More details about Saturday’s concert in my column, “In the Mix,” which appears in HiLife this afternoon for subscribers as well as tomorrow’s print and online editions.
