Platinum Weird?

From Billboard:

Eurythmics principal Dave Stewart and songwriter Kara DioGuardi are up to something. The two hosted a screening June 12 in New York of "Platinum Weird," a documentary film (sort of) about a band by that name, which Stewart formed (supposedly) in 1974 with Erin Grace, a fictional (we think) singer who disappeared before achieving stardom.

The psychedelically inspired 40-minute film includes perfectly deadpan interviews with the real Mick Jagger, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Ringo Starr, Bob Geldof, Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan and others, each sharing recollection of the "original" Platinum Weird.

All of this sets up the launch of the actual Platinum Weird, Stewart and DioGuardi's new rock band. The act's self-titled album is due Aug. 22 on Interscope, while the film debuts July 5 on VH1.

In recent years, DioGuardi has emerged as an in-demand songwriter for hitmakers such as Kelly Clarkson, Ashlee Simpson and Gwen Stefani.
