Bands featuring a celebrity not known for music
 
Hollywood vampires is coming to my area. They are a band featuring Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry (and although Joe Perry and Alice Cooper made their careers in music, I had no idea that Johnny Depp was in a band). It might be fun to see (although the lines to get into the concert would be massssive since it is at a venue that doesn't presell tickets). It seems that there are more and more bands popping up (or rather I am hearing more about bands featuring them). Examples such as Kevin Costnar or Kevin Bacon.
Anyone seen any celebrity bands or like any bands featuring someone who really is more known in other areas of media than music?

William Shatner's music is actually pretty awesome.

Jack Black, Zooey Daschannel, Jared Leto, Mark Wahlberg, and Steven Segal. I heard Steven has a large guitar collection and travels with all of them when he is on the road with his band.

Viggo Mortensen is a pretty prolific musician and has often collaborated with Buckethead.
Salvador Dali did an Opera with Igor Wakhévitch.
Both not exactly bands, but still kinda surprising imo.

The Kiwi actor Russell Crowe, chiefly known for Romper Stomper and for throwing telephones at hotel staff, has a band with a very silly name that I momentarily forget. I did see a review of a show they did, in which the reviewer seemed to say that while the concert was not a life-changing experience, the band was not actually as bad as he feared.

Another bizarre collaboration is John McEnroe guesting on an album by Chrissie Hynde. He apparently plays a passable guitar.

2/5 of those are known for making music actually.

I thought Mark Wahlberg (aka Marky Mark) was mostly famous for being photographed in his underpants. But wasn't he also releasing songs before he became known as an actor?
