WIRELESS FLASH BRIEFS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Here's proof music makes for strange bedfellows: B.B. King is covering a Bob Dylan song for the upcoming CBS mini-series "Shake, Rattle And Roll." Although the film is set in the '50s, Dylan's song, "Fur Slippers," was actually written in the 1980s. -- NEW YORK -- Move over, Austin Powers and make way for Calvert DeForest. Best known as David Letterman sidekick Larry "Bud" Melman, DeForest has just released "Erotic Experience," a lounge CD containing offbeat oldies like Count Basie's rendition of "Green Onions." DeForest also puts his own pipes to work on a loungy rendition of "Tequila." -- LOS ANGELES -- '80s-era rock stars never die -- they just wind up on the CBS series "Martial Law." An upcoming episode will feature Rick Springfield as an FBI agent as well as Poison lead singer Bret Michaels, Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro and X songwriter John Doe who all play escaped convicts.
