Oasis and Ryan Adams Deliver Workmanlike Rock in Oakland

Photograph by Tim Mosenfelder for RollingStone.com Manchester, England’s Oasis and New York’s Ryan Adams & the Cardinals both focused on workmanlike songcraft as they opened the United States stretch of their joint world tour last night in Oakland, California. Although both bands are known for the verbal swagger of their respective leaders, Oasis and the Cardinals both kept the emphasis firmly on their music: Adams barely spoke a word, while guitarist Noel Gallagher’s most pointed comment came when a nearby fan passed out during through a grinding “Slide Away.” “Did somebody get overwhelmed?” he quipped. “I’m sorry about that. Buy a T-shirt on the way out, please.” The Britpop icons remained typically immobile bellow four massive video panels that mixed live projections with canned Pop Art imagery. Liam Gallagher clenched a tambourine in his teeth as the band opened with “Rock N Roll Star,” then held it behind his back in a defiant stance maintained throughout the night. Although his contemplative “I’m Outta Time” proved Oasis hasn’t run out of ways to effectively raid the Beatles’ songbook, it was mid-90s hits like “Wonderwall” that generated the most sing-along enthusiasm from an otherwise strangely sedate audience. Perhaps a newly mellow Adams had chilled the crowd: The former bad boy proved himself ready to inherit Tom Petty’s mantle with a set of countrified mid-tempo rock. While bassist Chris Feinstein roamed center stage, Adams humbly stood off to the side and plied ballad after ballad until his Cardinals finally let loose an anxious and succinct “Magick.” And then they flew away. Set List: Ryan Adams & The Cardinals “Cobwebs” “Crossed Out Name” “Everybody Knows” “Fix It” “When the Stars Go Blue” “Let It Ride” “Go Easy” “Come Pick Me Up” “Two” “Sink Ships” “I Taught Myself How to Grow Old” “Magick” Set List: Oasis “Rock N Roll Star” “Lyla” “The Shock Of The Lightning” “Cigarettes And Alcohol” “The Meaning Of Soul” “To Be Where There’s Life” “Waiting For The

Matchmaking: Celebrity Species

Yesterday's rumors of Paris Hilton's interest in drunken African elephants turned out to be greatly exaggerated. In fact, the most exotic drunk Paris has ever seen is probably Stavros Niarchos. But, this non-story could serve as an inspiration to Paris and other stars who -- in the name of good PR -- should flock to the ever-expanding list of endangered species to adopt a pet cause. Below, we pair a few more celebs with endangered species in need of a little star power. 1. Mary-Kate Olsen and the Black-Footed Ferret In addition to sharing a striking resemblance and hyphenated names, both Mary-Kate and the ferret have experienced trouble staying properly nourished. 2. Star Jones Reynolds and the Slender Chub Reynolds, who faced her own obsolescence from "The View," may find it easy to identify with Virginia's Erimystax Cahni. 3. Duane "Dog" Chapman and the Wild Ass This beefy bottle blond's

He's not walking around the set trying to look good." The film, hitting theaters February 13, stars Owen as an Interpol agent and Watts as a high-powered New York attorney who team up to go after the world's largest bank in a bid to expose its financing of wars and terrorism.

In Greece with Pierce Brosnan & Amanda Seyfried of 'Mamma Mia!'

Mamma Mia! Only ET is with the stars of this summer's most anticipated musical, and only ET's Jann Carl is soaking up the sun in sunny, picturesque Greece with Pierce Brosnan and Amanda Seyfried! "I was nervous; [but] when I actually got down to it, it was very easy in some respects," Pierce tells Jann about having to sing on camera. "I spent six weeks listening to my iPod and driving my kids nuts and my wife nuts and the family and the dog and everybody nuts, you know, just singing these songs." In theaters July 18, 'Mamma Mia!' stars Meryl Streep as an independent, single mother whose spirited daughter (played by "Big Love" star Amanda) is getting married -- and is determined to learn the identity of her true father so he can walk her down the aisle. Pierce, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard are the three contenders, all of whom were involved with Meryl's character 20 years earlier when they visited her Greek island paradise. Inspired by the incredibly catchy music of Abba and based on the hit musical that toured the world, 'Mamma Mia!' features such sing-along classics as "Dancing Queen," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "SOS" and "The Winner Takes It All."

Vera Farmiga and Jason Bateman co-star opposite George Clooney in the new film 'Up in the Air,' and the two stars wax about the "notorious good guy," whom Vera calls "charm on two feet." "He's just got a way of making you feel like you're close right away, because he's so open," Vera tells ET, adding with a laugh that the reason why he makes women melt is his "sense of humor, above all -- so unfortunate that he's so ugly."
