As McA of the Beastie Boys, Adam Yauch has rapped about "Three MCs and One DJ," but as a filmmaker, he's had to learn to go solo. With his latest documentary "Gunnin' For That #1 Spot," Yauch is continuing the tradition of musicians who crossed over to direct movies, something that started all the way back when Frank Sinatra sat in the director's chair for 1965's World War II drama "None But the Brave." From documentaries to narratives, here's a list of modern musicians who have become filmmakers in one form or another in recent years.

Madonna

It seems as though the one place Madonna has never been able to reinvent herself is on the big screen, but that might change. Although she's had an almost disastrous track record as an actress (particularly when working with whomever was her significant other at the time), one forgets that Madonna

Cannibal Terror (1980)

Directed by Alain Deruelle

One of the original Video Nasties! This French/Spanish co-production follow a pair of idiotic thieves and their large-breasted accomplice as they kidnap the daughter of a local tycoon and decide that the cannibal-infested jungle is the best hiding spot. True, no one would look for them there! Pretty soon they’re either being eaten alive or trying to escape from being eaten alive. Buy it here!!

The Chilling (1989)

Directed by Deland Nuse & Jack A. Sunseri

Now, I can see the benefits of having a cryogenics lab, freezing bodies to preserve them and bring them back when a cure is found for whatever is making them sick, but you’d hope they’d have

Gary Busey, rocker Steven Adler and 1980s pin-up Tawny Kitaen will join Grease star Jeff Conaway for the second season of hardhitting U.S. reality show Celebrity Rehab.

Conaway, who quit the show's first season days before his treatment was complete, revealed he was returning to the show to kick his dependency of painkillers on the red carpet at the TV Land Awards at the weekend.

Busey and the others seeking the help of TV psychologist Dr. Drew Pinsky checked into the televised rehab on Monday.

Busey, who claims 13 years of sobriety, is not among the troubled souls on the show - the actor has been hired to help the group members through the recovery process.

Joining Conaway, Adler and Kitaen on the show are model Amber Smith, Rod Stewart's son Sean and Rodney King, whose televised police beating in 1992 sparked the Los Angeles riots.

The intense 21-day program will be filmed and aired on VH1 in October.

The first season of Celebrity Rehab featured Conaway, Daniel Baldwin, Brigitte Nielsen and wrestler Chyna.

Latest: Actor Gary Busey has gone public with his less than healthy home life as the owners of his Malibu, California pad attempt to evict him for not paying his rent.

The Point Break star allegedly owes $50,000 (GBP25,000) in back rent but he's refusing to pay up because he claims "unclean air conditioning vents" were posing a health risk to him.

And that's not all - in an exclusive interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood, the actor rages, "I'm living in a house that's had mold in the air and asbestos in the air, and the lights don't work and the fixtures are falling out of the wall.

"The patio wood is crumbling so people could trip and fall."

Busey insists his landlord didn't need to officially evict him - because he had already moved out of the home, accusing the managers of neglecting crucial repairs.

He adds, "They didn't care about that house or the tenant... I said, 'Woah, I'm outta here!"

Busey insists he's in a much better place now and even told the news show he blames his life in former home for his odd behaviour at the Oscars in February - where he terrified Jennifer Garner by pouncing on her and kissing her while she was in the middle of a live TV interview.

The actor has since apologised for his actions.

He says, "That was simply the excitement of being out of the house I was in."

Zoey 101 - Victoria Justice" />For those who are sick of hearing Britney or Jamie Lynn Spears news, here’s a breather. Nickelodeon is set to create their very own High School Musical.  Yes, you heard it right.  The annoying but amusing Disney hit series is about to be replicated by Nickelodeon, who claims that it will purely be a “performance-based spectacle,” Reuters reports, instead of the typical High School Musical scene wherein the characters suddenly break out into a song.  Moreover, Zoey 101 actress Victoria Justice is set to be part of the upcoming film entitled Spectacular.

Victoria Justice, who plays Lola Martinez in Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, began acting and modeling at the age of eight.  Her first major television appearance was in the television show Gilmore Girls and the independent films Fallacy with Gary Busey and When do We Eat with Michael Lerner, Leslie Ann Warren, and Jack Klugman.  Following her screen appearances,

Actor Gary Busey will be kicked out of his California home of more than 14 years if he doesn't pay up more than $50,000 (GBP25,000) in outstanding rent, his landlord has claimed.

The Lethal Weapon star's Malibu landlord claims he has withheld rent for almost a year.

But Busey's attorney Vicki Roberts insists the actor has no trouble keeping up with the $6,000 (GBP3,000)-a-month rent, choosing instead to withhold the funds until blocked air vents - which are damaging his health - are cleared.

She tells The National Enquirer, "It's true he owed over $50,000 in back rent - but he stopped paying because of a health issue. The landlord wouldn't clean out the vents."

This isn't the first time Busey has fallen behind on home payments. The actor was taken to court in 2004 after falling behind $52,000 (GBP26,000) in rent, claiming his household was riddled with mould.

Gary Busey has publicly apologised for his bizarre behaviour on the red carpet at the Oscars last month when he lunged at a terrified Jennifer Garner and planted an unwanted kiss on her neck.

The actress and pal Laura Linney were in the middle of a live interview when Busey approached the pair and embraced and kissed them.

Nervous Garner had to struggle to maintain her composure as Busey then stood right next to her for the remainder of the televised interview with U.S. TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest, before Linney dragged her away to safety.

Busey has since revealed he had no idea the ladies were being interviewed live, and now he's making a public apology on TV.

Speaking on U.S. TV show Extra, he says, "I got very excited and I did not know Ryan Seacrest was doing an interview. I apologised to Jennifer, I apologised to (husband) Ben (Affleck), I apologised to Ryan."
