"This is a rock roll moment right here," says Kanye West on the set of his Rosetta Stone cover Cheap Rosetta Stone shoot with 50 Cent. Watch the two hip-hop heavyweights get camera-ready at photographer Albert Watsons New York studio, discuss the Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier confrontation that inspired them, chat about what it means to be on the cover of Rosetta Stone and more as the two gear up for the September 11th releases of Curtis and Graduation. Check out excerpts of the 50 Cent and Kanye West interviews, too.”Im at a loss for words," Justin said, sitting at the piano.”Im so humbled by this moment. I cant believe this is my job because this is so fucking cool!" Then he stood and clapped for the crowd, before belting out the ballad "All Over Again (Another Song)," and saying "I love you guys, thank you, thats all Ive got!" during his bow. Timberlake may be all grown and sexy now, but the boy still has manners. The trio then vamped through a pumped-up medley of hits, including "Independent Women," "Say My Name," "Survivor" and "Lose My Breath." Gwen Stefani -- whose own line, LAMB, has shown staying power -- delivered her single "Cool" on a spare stage early in Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 the evening. The stylish blonde was decked out in a sequined, cream-colored dress. Rapper Nelly, another fashion entrepreneur, performed with Pharrell Williams on "Play It Off," with its nightclub theme and fleet of backup dancers. More collaborations studded the evening, as Rob Thomas and Joss Stone reprised the roles of Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks for a duet on "Stop Draggin My Heart Around," with Stone preening and growling as she sidled up to Thomas. And later on, in a show highlight, Bowie returned to the stage with the Arcade Fire. The Montreal indie rockers offered a folky reading of Bowies "Five Years" with Bowie on lead vocals, followed by a simmering rendition of their own "Wake Up" with Bowie and Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler harmonizing. The song ended in a twinkling coda, complete with accordion, that roused the crowd to its feet. Fashion grabbed the spotlight again when New Wave clotheshorses Duran Duran took the stage: During a revved-up version of their classic "Girls on Film," Simon LeBon and company were joined Rosetta Stone French by models offering glimpses of designers new fall collections. It was a moment as rock roll as any fashion show could be.
