Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance at Friday night's Billy Joel concert at Shea Stadium in New York. It was the last time a major rock show will ever take place at the home of the Mets - they're moving across the street into Citi Field next season - and the first time McCartney played the Queens stadium since the Beatles were there in 1964. Joel joined him on "I Saw Her Standing There" and a plaintive "Let It Be," which ended the show. Other guests included Roger Daltrey, Steven Tyler and Garth Brooks. Watch "Let It Be"  

Celluloid stoner favorites Jack Black and Seth Rogen (at left) get the cover treatment in this month's issues of Blender and GQ, respectively. While Black's grilled about drugs, Rogen's profiled at length, with a special focus on Pineapple Express, which opens on August 8. "I didn't realize this," the actor/writer deadpans, "but weed is considered a genre."

One of the highlights of every Brazilian Girls concert is "Pussy Marijuana." In this clip, lead singer Sabina Sciubba lights a joint and shares it with more than a dozen people on stage before breaking into a long version of the song, which repeats the seductive and nonsensical line, "Pussy pussy pussy, marijuana."

For their annual summer "Unity Tour," 311 invited Snoop Dogg and Fiction Plane to join them. With Snoop - hip-hop's most notorious pothead - and 311 - famous for songs like "Who's Got the Herb" and "My Stoney Baby" - you have to figure there's a lot of weed smoking going on. The 30-date tour heads east this week and stops in Brooklyn (KeySpan Park in Coney Island) on July 16.
