Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Pop,
Kylie Minogue is about to become a Las Vegas showgirl.
The “Wow” singer - who has spent years trying to crack the US - has been offered a residency in the city after impressing American fans with her recent tour.
“The response from her shows in America have been phenomenal. They love her out there. She was nervous about going over for the first time, but it has gone better than she expected,” Kylie’s sister Dannii revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror. “She has now been asked to take the show back to Vegas and extend it as a residency over there. I’m so proud of her.”
Las Vegas promoters were mesmerized by her glamorous show and are convinced she can draw in the crowds night after night.
Dannii says Kylie is thrilled by the offer and she will be supported by her family on her opening night. “Kylie called to tell me how well everything has been going and about the Vegas offer. I was joking with her that is finally where she belongs!” she said. “Kylie’s show is perfect for Vegas, it’s so theatrical. She has loved performing out there.”

Fame Kills from kwest on Vimeo.
Fame Kills has just been killed.
Live Nation announced today that the concert tour, starring Kanye West and Lady Gaga, has officially been canceled. This news comes less than a week after tickets first became available. Refunds will be made available to all ticket buyers.
The two musicians, who individually created buzz at the recent VMAs, had been scheduled to hit 34 cities together starting in November. Although no explanation was given for the cancellation, it’s possible the decision may have been a result of Kanye’s behavior at the MTV event.

U2‘s world tour costs $750,000 a day to stage - even when the band has the day off. Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton’s current 360 Degree tour - which features a huge stage called “The Claw” - is so expensive to run it is yet to make a profit, even after 33 concerts.
The “Get on Your Boots” rockers have played across Europe and North America since kicking off the run of concerts in Barcelona, Spain, on June 30.

Marilyn Manson Diagnosed with Swine Flu
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,
UPDATE: The musician’s concert promoters deny Manson has the virus.
“Tainted Love” singer Marilyn Manson has just been revealed that he’s been tainted…with the H1N1 virus.
The 40-year-old, who lists former wife Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood among his exes, recently announced the news via his Facebook page. “So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU,” he wrote. “I know everyone will suggest that f****** a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in ‘no way’ contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”
Although Manson was in the middle of a Canadian tour when the diagnosis was made, he has no intention of canceling his scheduled gigs. In fact, he was recently filmed shooting snot onto attendees at a show in Ottawa.
Marilyn is the not the first celebrity to publicly reveal a swine flu diagnosis. Back in July, it was announced that Harry Potter star Rupert Grint had missed several days of filming after contracting the virus.

Beyonce Knowles Less Sexy in Malaysia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, R&B / Soul,
Beyonce Knowles has vowed to wear “appropriate” clothing for her controversial show in Malaysia.
The “Crazy in Love” singer’s scheduled concert in the country’s capital Kuala Lumpur on October 25 has been met with anger by Islamic extremists, who claim her sexy outfits and provocative stage routines are “immoral” and will corrupt young people.
But the 28-year-old star - who had to pull out of a concert in the country two years ago after the same group, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, threatened to protest at the show - has agreed to tone down her performance, meaning the concert can go ahead. Show organizers Marctensia said all parties had reached an “amicable understanding.”
“We are confident that the concert will once and for all silence international critics and put Malaysia back on track… in presenting A-list international pop concerts in this region,” a spokesperson for the entertainment company added.
In August 2007, Gwen Stefani was told to cover up for her Malaysian concert. The flamboyant star wore “sober” outfits but called it a “major sacrifice.” She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines for the show.

The Spice Girls are to planning to perform a concert in South Africa.
The group sparked rumors of a reunion last week when four former members - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton - had dinner together in London and it has now emerged they were discussing plans for a special show to launch the World Cup soccer tournament next year.
Mel B and her husband Stephen Belafonte have brokered the deal and are keen to press ahead with the plan - even though Victoria Beckham doesn’t want to take part.
“Mel is determined to get the girls back together for the World Cup and wants them to plough ahead as a foursome if Victoria doesn’t want to take part,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “She has got the others excited by the idea of a one-off appearance. They are very interested.”

Michael Jackson‘s belongings are going on show in London.

A source said: “Negotiations have been going on for a long time. Everyone was keen to ensure disappointed fans who had tickets for his ‘This Is It’ concerts still get to enjoy part of him. Finally his family have given the go-ahead and are rooting through the treasure troves to dig out special artifacts.”

Aerosmith’s Joe Perry Disappointed with Steven Tyler’s Setbacks
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rock,
Every time I hear someone attempt “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” on American Idol, I think to myself: “I wonder what happened to Steven Tyler?” Apparently I’m not the only one asking that question these days.
Over the past year and a half, the Aerosmith lead singer has suffered a number of physical setbacks including sore feet (seriously) and a broken shoulder. (The latter problem forced a cancellation of the band’s summer tour.)
But if you’d like to know how Tyler is doing now, you shouldn’t ask Joe Perry. The guitarist hasn’t exchanged words with Steven for some time now.
