FREDDIE MERCURY fans have a treat: a new, previously unheard track from Freddie has been found, called "Time Waits For No One." The song was originally part of the soundtrack to the 1986 musical, "Time," which played on London's West End and starred CLIFF RICHARD.
DAVE CLARK, who originally led the 60s group, The Dave Clark Five, wrote the song and found the demo recording two years ago. Freddie and Cliff's friendship went back to 1976, when they met backstage at Queen's concert in London's Hyde Park; and remained close until Mercury's death from Aids-related illnesses in 1991. In fact, Clark was present on the last night of Freddie's life, when he passed away of AIDS-related illnesses.

It didn't happen, despite getting over 20-thousand signatures, but the band invited the staff backstage for Tuesday's concert and posed for a picture with them. No word on whether the band got fries with that.A new film starring SEAN PENN is in the works, and will star his daughter DYLAN PENN and his son HOPPER PENN, along with JOSH BROLIN and MILES TELLER.

Sean Penn will direct as well as star in the film, which is based on the book, "Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father's Counterfeit Life" by Jennifer Vogel.HGTV has announced that JESSE TYLER FERGUSON --who played Mitchell Pritchett on the ABC series "Modern Family"-- will host the network's upcoming revival of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
