December 5, 2005

METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett attended the West Coast opening of works by artist Russell Young, entitled "Fame, Shame and the Realm of Possibility" at Minotti Los Angeles on November 30, 2005 in Los Angeles, California. Some of the pieces were auctioned by Christie's to benefit The Art of Elysium, a charity that encourages artists to dedicate their time and talent to at risk and ill children.

As previously reported, METALLICA were due to begin rehearsals for their ninth studio album sometime last week, according to an interview with drummer Lars Ulrich in Danish newspaper B.T.. Ulrich, a native of Denmark, flew back to the San Francisco area from New York on Tuesday (November 29),after which the band were to commence working. Ulrich said about the project, "I wouldn't say that I have a plan or an idea of where we're headed, but to kick start METALLICA once again makes me happy like a kid."

Ulrich was in New York with his girlfriend, actress Connie Nielsen, to celebrate the 15th birthday of Nielsen's son, Sebastian. Connie Nielsen is also Danish and Ulrich said that has helped their relationship, explaining, "We have the language, the culture, the sarcasm and the irony in common. We have...yeah, the whole package, because she understands me."

Nielsen can be currently seen in "The Ice Harvest" with John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton.

Ulrich has been married twice, most recently to Skylar Ulrich, with whom he has two young sons. He told B.T. he's in no hurry to get hitched again: "First I have to get divorced, so let's take everything nice and slow, OK? Very, very slow."
