Jack White of The White Stripes has penned a poem about his hometown of Detroit, showing how much he lives the city - despite previously speaking negatively of his birthplace in 2006 to the Associated Press.
The poem is to be published in this forthcoming Sunday's edition of the Detroit Free Press and White says of his latest work, "those expressions of mine have never been a representation of my feelings about Detroit the city, a town that I have strong feelings about... nor were they expressions about its citizens."
Jack also went on to say the poem is based on the "Detroit that is in my heart. The home that encapsulates and envelops those who are truly blessed with the experience of living within its boundaries."

The Doors star says, "Will Arnett was seen on a car commercial and the producers found out that his voice was owned by that car company. They found out by accident.
"So I get the call from my agent, who asked me if I wanted to be the voice of K.I.T. I remembered that show and it was fun when I was a kid, so I said, 'Sure, should I do a tape?'
"My agent said, 'No, it's not an audition, they're offering it to you.' I had to be on set at 7am the next morning.
