The always delightful Garbage frontwoman, Shirley Manson, joined Gwen Stefani on stage at LA’s Gibson Ampitheater this weekend for an impromptu duet of Gwen’s single ‘Wonderful Life’. If you recall, Garbage and No Doubt toured together in ’02 while the former was promoting BeautifulGarbage, and latter was pushing Rock Steady. Here’s a 30-second capture of the collaboration, via fan digicam. UPDATE: FULL VIDEO BELOW!

Minus the overstated carcass, Shirley Manson is looking quite fabulous, I must say.

Shirley on her decision to get involved with the cause and the ad: “When PETA approached me about this particular campaign, I was really honored to be asked, and I felt like I had a chance to add my voice to the dissent against the way animals can be treated all over the world by all persons.”

When can we expect that solo album, again? I’m waiting with baited breath, Shirley!

Keep those fingers crossed!

Billboard reports: Butch Vig has confirmed that there may be new Garbage material in 2007. “Despite the layoff, the group has been sharing song ideas via the Internet in recent months and is hoping to record a few them in March. “We need to sit down in a room and play them and get them complete,” Vig says.

It took awhile for her to get up to speed. She hasn’t played me anything yet, but I’ve heard the songs are great.”

As TMA first reported, Shirley and Jack are indeed working together! NME reports the following:

Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson has enlisted the help of some famous pals for her first solo album. The White Stripes’ frontman Jack White, Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan and The Blue Nile’s Paul Buchanan are all helping out on the record, reports AOL.

The record is due out in 2007.

I personally, would LOVE to hear Shirley cover ‘Tonight Tonight’, but somehow I don’t think Billy Corgan would go for that. I still have high expectations for the solo album. Shirley holds a very special place in my heart that even Jenny Lewis can’t fill (sorry all).

Does anyone else have as high expectations for this album as I do?

You know what Shirley? We really do love you too.

Back when I was 14, I used to dance around to the self-titled debut and listen to it obsessively with my friends. I had a stunning poster in my room right next my bed.

Version 2.0 came out and I was in heaven again. I wanted to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing just for you.

Beautifulgarbage came out and the world dismissed you, but not me.

The 9:30 Club show back in 2002 was a religious experience for me. Shirley, you sang, “Cherry Lips” and “Push It” directly to me (I was front row center) and I shivered. You even sang “You Look So Fine” per my request.

I’ve seen Garbage many many times live and I am still sort of heartbroken at the news that they are probably throwing in the towel.

Here’s a fantastic shot from their last tour (ever?), from the Hammerstein Ballroom show which was, of course, spectacular.

And the accompanying setlist.
