December 29 [16:00 EDT] -- Veteran hellraiser, Iggy Pop, takes his act somewhere it's never gone before. He is soon to guest star on the syndicated "Star Trek" spin-off, "Deep Space 9."

Iggy plays a character named "Yelgrun," a member of a genetically altered alien race, who represents something called the "Evil Interstellar Empire." As we reported earlier today, Lithograph portraits of Mr. Pop by "The Man Who Fell To Earth," David Bowie, are for sale at David Bowie's new art web site.
