MUSIC CRITIC

The Police say this is it. Or it will be in August when the band plays what it's calling its last-ever show in New York City. The exact date and venue haven't been announced, but the concert will benefit the production of arts programming for public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW New York. . . . Prince's 21-night stand at London's O2 Arena last year will be commemorated in a book that will contain backstage and onstage photos, as well as a CD. . . . The Jonas Brothers will try to break Hannah Montana's $65 million gross from her recent 3-D movie with their own 3-D concert film. Due next year, the film will feature footage from the band's upcoming summer tour and behind-the-scenes tidbits. . . . The latest round of CMT's "Gone Country 2" will feature such luminaries as Jermaine Jackson, former'N Sync-er Chris Kirkpatrick, Lorenzo Lamas and Sean Young. John Rich returns as the host and judge of the show, which is filming now and begins airing in August. . . .
