‘AMERICAN BANDSTAND’ “American Bandstand” turns 50 this year and to celebrate, ABC-TV on May 3 will air a tribute to the music show that was hosted for so many years by perennial teenager Dick Clark. Billboard.com reports “American Bandstand’s 50th … A Celebration!” will be taped over the course of three days, according to a spokesman for dick clark productions, who added that the two-hour special will include perfor- mances by at least 10 artists -- Michael Jackson, Cher, Alanis Morissette, Kiss and Stevie Wonder among them -- as well as clips from the series. Clark will host. "Bandstand" began in 1952 as a local Philadelphia TV show. Clark took over as host in the year before it broke nation- ally on Aug. 5, 1957. During its time, the series received five Emmys and presented more than 10,000 musical perfor- mances in more than 6,000 hours of airtime. OZZFEST 2002 The organizers of Ozzfest 2002 are giving fans a say in deciding who’ll replace Chris Cornell’s band in the main stage slot. MTV News reports a ballot has been posted on the Ozzfest Web site (ozzfest.com) asking for suggestions to fill the void, which opened when Cornell quit the new, unnamed group that also included Rage Against the Machine members guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk.The choices include such Ozzfest vets as Slayer, Soulfly, Sevendust and Static-X as well as bands who’ve yet to make the annual metal trek -- such as Foo Fighters, Nickelback and Tenacious D. Not all the bands are available to tour with Ozzy Osbourne this summer, an Ozzfest spokesman said, and other replacements are being considered. Voting is expected to continue through next week. ------------------------------------------------------------
