Oct 31, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- ZZHQD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- NEW YORK, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger made a surprise appearance in New York as part of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert.

Rolling Stone magazine reported the 66-year-old rocker appeared on stage at Madison Square Garden Friday night to perform alongside pop star Fergie in a rendition of the Stones' hit "Gimmie Shelter."

Jagger also performed a duet with U2 lead singer Bono of the U2 hit song "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of."

Other highlights included Aretha Franklin singing "New York, New York," rocker Lenny Kravitz performing "Think" and rocker Lou Reed performing "Sweet Jane." Beck and Metallica's James Hetfield also performed.

Rolling Stone magazine said singer Billy Joel paired with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for a rendition of Joel's "New York State of Mind" Thursday during the first day of the Hall of Fame anniversary celebration.

DODOMA, Tanzania, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- A 38-year-old safari guide was killed by a wild elephant in Tanzania during filming for the CBBC series "Serious Explorers," a friend says.

Ryan Wienand said his best friend, Anton Turner, was escorting the crew of the BBC's children's TV program Friday when the elephant charged the safari guide and inflicted fatal injuries, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

"It's a huge shock and we are all very upset because it such a great loss. He had a pregnant fiancee, who is absolutely devastated," Wienand told the British newspaper.

The Telegraph said the incident took place in the Mburika Mountains area of Tanzania's 21,000-square-mile Selous game reserve. No other injuries were reported.

Wienand told the Telegraph the deadly attack was surprising given Turner's knowledge and experiences with elephants.

"Anton was the most experienced person I have ever known when it comes to elephants, he had an expert knowledge of their behavior," he said.

"So for him to die in this way is a complete freak event. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him."

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- The results of a survey on an America Online pop culture blog indicate U.S. residents see pop star Miley Cyrus as the worst celebrity influence of 2009.

Us Magazine reported online Friday the "Hannah Montana" star earned 42 percent of 44,594 votes tallied in the "Worst Celeb Influence" category of a recent survey by the AOL online blog Just So You Know.

Cyrus, 16, made headlines in June 2008 with her semi-nude photo spread in Vanity Fair magazine. The teen star also earned criticism for performing with a stripper pole during August's Teen Choice Awards.

Coming in second to Cyrus in the recent survey category was singer Britney Spears with 27 percent of the online votes.

Third on the list was rapper Kanye West with 19 percent, followed by singer Vanessa Hudgens at 9 percent and actor Shia LeBeouf at 3 percent.

Among the young stars topping the "Best Celeb Influence" category of the survey were actresses Selena Gomez and Emma Watson, along with singers Nick Jonas, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.

Specific percentages for the "Best Celeb Influence" category were not reported. The survey's margin of error and polling dates were also not reported.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- There could be up to 2,500 3-D cinema locations in the United States in time for the release of major 3-D films this holiday season, 20th Century Fox says.

The film studio said while only 900 theaters nationwide were able to show 3-D works at the start of 2009, a major effort through the year has greatly increased the number of 3-D screens in time for the holiday release of "Avatar," Variety.com reported Friday.

"Avatar," a highly anticipated film from director James Cameron, is to be released Dec. 18.

U.S. theaters also are attempting to install 3-D technology in time for the Nov. 6 release of "A Christmas Carol," an animated Disney version of the classic Christmas tale.

Variety said while all of the planned 3-D locations may not be completed next month, they should be ready for a slew of 3-D films due in 2010.

Among the 16 3-D films already scheduled for release next year is "Alice in Wonderland," which Disney will release March 5.
