CHESNEY/CROW CONCERT POSTPONED

Sorry, music fans. Last week's announcement about a giant concert featuring Kenny Chesney, Sheryl Crow, Lisa Marie Presley and others at the Waikiki Shell May 24 is superseded by this announcement: The concert has been postponed.

The event was to be a benefit for Narconon, the drug-rehab program associated with the Church of Scientology; and it was to be hosted by actors (and husband and wife team) John Travolta and Kelly Preston, who are members of Scientology. No further details about a new concert date or the final lineup of performers were available.

However, if you still want to hobnob with Travolta, former Honolulan Preston and presumably some of their celebrity pals, there's a Narconon-benefit dinner May 24 at Stage restaurant, at the Honolulu Design Center. It'll cost you, though: $2,500 a person, special menu by executive chef Jon Matsubara. Expect the food to be extraordinary.

Call 373-9911 for the May 24 dinner reservations.
