Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving late Tuesday night. Sambora was pulled over in Laguna Beach, Calif., after police say they saw him driving erratically. TMZ reports that the rocker failed several field sobriety tests. He was detained for DUI, but police report that there was no evidence of drug use.

Sambora has admitted to alcohol problems in the past. He briefly entered a treatment facility on two different occasions last year.

While Paul McCartney has performed live for the benefit of millions of people on Earth, that is not quite the entire limit of his audience.

During a show in Anaheim captured on the newly released DVD of his 2005 U.S. tour, 'The Space Within US,' the master of songcraft's music literally goes far out and spacey. The onstage McCartney connected via satellite to the International Space Station, which travels 220 miles above the planet, for the first live concert link to a U.S. spacecraft.

American astronaut Bill McArthur and Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev were awakened by a rendition of the 'Revolver' tune 'Good Day Sunshine' as Sir Paul simultaneously entertained his more earthbound fans. Check out the extraterrestrial version of 'Good Day Sunshine' as well as other live highlights spanning McCartney's 40-year-plus career from his 'The Space Within US' American tour and share your thoughts below.

U2 Open a New 'Window'

On Nov. 21, U2 will unveil a new song, 'Window in the Skies,' on their upcoming 'U218 Singles,' an eighteen-track compilation album that encompasses the band's storied career. The track, an elegiac, piano-driven number, was produced by Rick Rubin and will be released as a single on Jan. 1.

In addition, 'The Saints are Coming,' U2's collaboration with Green Day, makes its long-player debut on 'U218.' The song, originally done by late-'70s Scottish punks the Skids, was performed live by the bands at the New Orleans Saints' NFL home-opening game at the Superdome in September. The studio version, also produced by Rubin, was released as a charity single last Monday to aid musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Listen to 'Window' and check out highlights from the CD/DVD version of 'U218' -- a ten-song live set from Milan, recorded during 2005's Vertigo tour -- here. Give a look and listen, and share you thoughts with us below.

KT Tunstall Loves the Kiddies

There was a time when KT Tunstall had to work a day job to pay the bills like the rest of us. On one of those jobs, she laid down vocals for the theme song of a kids' TV program. Which one has been a closely guarded secret -- until now.

The Scottish singer-songwriter reveals that she did, in fact, sing the theme song for 'Little Robots.' Never heard of it? Yeah, us neither. You can check it out here.

Also catch an a cappella version of the song, along with live KT originals 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree' and 'Miniature Disasters,' on the Interface.
