Twiggy is among the musicians slated to join Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme on the Desert Sessions Volume 9-10 when recording begins in February at Rancho De La Luna Studios. Others tentatively slated to appear include Dean Ween and P.J. Harvey, and no doubt some of the regulars from previous sessions will also make appearances, i.e. Mark Lanegan, Dave Catching, Chris Goss and Brant Bjork. The album is likely to be released on Mike Patton’s (ex-Faith No More) Ipecac label rather than RekordsRekords, the home of Desert Sessions Volume 7-8. In other news, while it is not official, negotiations are underway for Camp Freddy to submit their live performance of "Paranoid" -- during which Twiggy joined them on guitar -- to the FreeNet Records 2002 free sampler. For more information, visit the FreeNet website here.

Tracking for Twiggy's demo with Chris Goss and Zach Hill was reportedly completed as of late last week at Rancho De La Luna studios. Also, another photo taken of Twiggy at Thursday night's Smirnoff party has been added to the Candid page. Click here to view.

Twiggy was among those in attendance last night when Smirnoff Ice Triple Black hosted a 1980's style roller skate holiday party at the Moonlight Rollerway in Los Angeles. A photo from the event has been added to the Candid gallery and can be seen here.

For those who haven't seen it, the photo that went along with last week's Kerrang! interview has been added to the Candid/Miscellaneous gallery and can be viewed here. It is from the Nintendo Goes Platinum party back in October and is similar (or the same) as another photo taken at that event and featured on the page, but this is a much larger version of that photo.

Here are more details on the Camp Freddy show to be held on December 16th. The venue is the Henry Fonda Theater at 6126 Hollywood Blvd. Line ups will start at 3 p.m. (no line ups will be allowed before this time), with the doors opening at 9 p.m. and the band hitting the stage at 10. Again, there is no guarantee that Twiggy will be a part of this show, but nonetheless, if you are in SoCal it might be worth checking out anyway since it doesn't cost anything to those lucky enough (the first 400 in line) to get in. Also, please note that this is a 21 and over show.

The Kerrang! article is now up and can be read here. I'm very excited for what the future holds for Twiggy and I think you all will be too after reading this. A very special thanks to "lindalou" for her efforts in scanning this and getting it to me so quickly!

Twiggy has finally broken his silence regarding his split with Marilyn Manson. Speaking to Kerrang!, Twiggy says "If I had said something when the bomb dropped it would have been too emotional so I chose to keep my mouth shut and not say anything I might have regretted. But really there was no big drama. We just grew apart in different directions and we both decided we wanted to do different things. We were together for so many years without any waves, and something was bound to happen eventually. We had a pretty successful run." Twiggy insists that he and Manson are still friends. "We might not be sending each other Christmas cards this year, but we spoke a few weeks ago. I'll be interested in hearing his new album." The full story, exclusively detailing Twiggy's future plans, will appear in the new issue of Kerrang! available tomorrow at newsstands in the UK. For those not able to get the magazine, I hope to have the article transcribed and up on the Press page sometime by the end of the day tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the promised year-end public show by Camp Freddy has been announced and will be taking place in Hollywood, CA on Monday, December 16th. The show will be free and approximately 400 fans will be allowed in along with the usual guest list typical of an LA show. Details as to venue and how to get in will be announced on December 12th. There are no indications at this time as to whether or not Twiggy will participate in this particular performance, but since it doesn't cost anything, it's certainly worth a try to get in.

Another photo of Twiggy from the Camp Freddy gig, which appeared in last week's Kerrang!, has been added to the Live Miscellaneous page.

Twiggy's silver dress, worn by him in photo shoots for Mechanical Animals and designed by Terri King, is now up for sale over at mansonmuseum.com. It can be found on the Trade Page and is going for $750.
