A coalition of artists including Lady Gaga, the Backstreet Boys and Creed won't be filling the tanks of their tour buses at BP stations this summer. Korn's Jonathan Davis is leading the drive to get as many musicians as possible on board for a boycott of all BP fuels. News of the boycott comes as stars including Justin Bieber, Cameron Diaz, Lenny Kravitz and Ryan Secrest gear up for tonight's two-hour CNN telethon, "Disaster in the Gulf: How You Can Help," to be hosted by Larry King, the Christian Science Monitor reports.
