THOMPSON IN THE AIR: Friends and family of gonzo gon·zo adj. Slang 1. Using an exaggerated, highly subjective style, especially in journalism: "a hyperkinetic, gonzo version of Graham Greene" New Yorker. 2. journalist Hunter S. Thompson are preparing to pepper the sky with the late writer's ashes. His cremated remains will be shot into the air Aug. 20 from a cannon installed on a 150-foot-high tower behind his home in Woody Creek, Colo. The 67-year-old Thompson, who had been in failing health, shot himself at his home on Feb. 20 after a long and flamboyant career. Johnny Depp, a close friend of Thompson's, has hired a Beverly Hills events planner to oversee the event, which will be closed to the public. ``Hunter meant a lot to me. He was another hero and someone that I got to know very well because I played him in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' We got very, very close,'' Depp said in a recent interview with AP Television News. ``He was a great pal, one of my best friends. We had talked a couple of times about his last wishes to be shot out of a cannon of his own design. ... All I'm doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out,'' the 42-year-old actor said in the interview. Anita Thompson, the writer's widow, said a public commemoration of Thompson will be held later. BEE GEES PLEASE: In the wake of the sudden death of the Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb in 2003, his brothers Robin and Barry decided to cease performing under the group's name. But Robin has taken it upon himself to turn grief into rejoicing with an extensive plan to keep Maurice's memory and the Bee Gees' music alive. The artist's co-manager John Campbell tells Billboard a slate of Bee Gees events will begin rolling out next year. In the works are a Maurice Gibb tribute album, a free summer concert in Central Park, a prime-time special, a Broadway musical, a film and a book. The timing could not be better, as the rights to the Bee Gees' entire catalog will revert back to them from Universal in 2006. ``It is one of the most successful catalogs of all time,'' Campbell notes. The tribute album, which is being produced by Kenneth ``Babyface'' Edmonds, is especially close to Robin's heart. ``We've asked artists of every generation to express our songs in their own way,'' Gibb says. So far, Paul McCartney, Wyclef Jean, Jagged Edge, Rascal Flatts, Snoop Dogg and Sheryl Crow are working on tracks. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the album will go to charity.
