MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice On Stage Together
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Forget about Eminem and Dre. What’s the hottest pairing this month? Hammer and Ice.
Later this month, two of the biggest acts from the early 90’s will be teaming up for a one-night only concert. The event, titled “Hammer Pants and Ice” (I kid you not), will be the first time rappers Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer have shared the same stage since their glory days.
Needing a reason to break out your Hammer Pants? In the mood to “stop, collaborate and listen”? Well, then book your tickets to Orem, Utah. Tickets for the February 27th package deal start at just $32.50. (Those with a few extra bucks in their baggy pants can also purchase a Meet and Greet as well.)

Clearly the economic woes have not been felt by all.
In 2009, Madonna earned over $280 million in ticket sales worldwide. (That’s enough to pay several divorce settlements.) The success of the Sticky & Sweet tour made the singer the best solo draw of all time. (She beat the previous record set by herself in 2006.) The 50-year-old also became the top concert attraction in North America this year.
Here are the Top Ten North American tours of 2008:
- Madonna ($105 million)

Rihanna faints during Australia concert
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Collaborations, Concerts / Tours, Performances, Videos, R&B / Soul,
It seems that all the leather and chains in the world won’t help you when your body is telling you that something’s wrong, as Rihanna found out during a recent performance in Australia. She was performing her hit Umbrella with Chris Brown, when she stumbled to the side of the stage and fainted. Chris tried to cover, continuing to sing his part, but you know he had to have felt quite a bit of concern over his fallen Boo. Towards the end of the video, you hear someone yelling for paramedics. Scary. Rihanna’s rep issued the following statement, basically saying that she is perfectly fine:
“It was very hot at the venue, so after Rihanna’s set was over, she went off stage to sit down, catch her breath and have some water. She is perfectly healthy and will be at her show tomorrow.”
