VIDEO: Pink Talks About Demanding Funhouse Tour
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop,
Pink‘s “most physically and vocally demanding” show of her life kicked off in the United States this week in dramatic fashion.
Although the crowd in Seattle gave her a warm reception, there was one element missing from the singer’s Funhouse tour: her “Sober” trapeze act. (A stand-in took over the high-flying duties during that segment.)
Pink revealed early in the program that she had somehow separated her shoulder. (She also said that her purse and phone were recently stolen.) Despite the pain, the 30-year-old refused to cancel the concert and carried on like a professional.

Boy George Has Monitoring Device Removed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip,
Boy George has had a monitoring device allowing police to monitor his whereabouts removed.
The Culture Club singer was sentenced to wear the tag on his ankle at all times as a condition of his early release from jail for his assault and false imprisonment of a male escort in 2007. He has also had a curfew, which was placed on him as part of his bail terms, lifted. Posting a picture of his ankle with the tag on his Twitter page, George wrote underneath it “The Final Countdown.”
George, 48, then posted another picture, of his bare leg, with a reference to finally being free underneath it. He later uploaded another picture of his family celebrating his release from the tag, writing underneath: “Me and the whole family celebrating in the kitchen, so sweet for my mum and sister to come for the un-tagging!”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop, Rock,
November is going to be a busy month for past American Idol winners. On November 11, Carrie Underwood will host the CMA Awards for the second year in a row. Now Kris Allen is getting a date on the calendar.
On Friday, the Season 8 champ used his Twitter account to break professional news. (That’s so very Paula Abdul.) “Hey guys! The album is set to release Nov 17th,” Allen revealed.
Earlier this summer, the 24-year-old said his upcoming album would be built on the sound that helped him win. “Everyone’s been asking me what it’s going to sound like. It will be very similar to what you heard from me on the show — definitely in the pop/rock genre.”
Kris’ as-yet-untitled CD can be pre-ordered on Amazon now.

Mariah Carey Apologizes for Jackson Memorial Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos,
Although Mariah Carey’s original performance of “I’ll Be There” was unplugged, yesterday’s shaky attempt had some searching for plugs. And don’t think she didn’t know it.
Hours after Michael Jackson’s memorial service, the singer turned to Twitter to apologize to her fans.
“Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me. One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts.”
Alright. We forgive you.

Madonna to Release Another Greatest Hits Compilation
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Upcoming Releases, Pop,
Madonna may be 50, but she still has a lot to offer.
Eight years after releasing GHV2, the Queen of Pop is preparing to do it all over once again. Later this year, Madonna will release her third Best Of compilation. (The Immaculate Collection, released in 1990, was her first.) “We’re hoping to have a greatest hits package come out in September,” her rep stated.
The track list for the upcoming CD may be decided in part by fan suggestions. Earlier this week, Guy Oseary (Madonna’s manager) solicited comments via Twitter: “Working on Madonna’s greatest hits album.. any tracks that you think MUST be on?”
Oldies but goodies won’t be the only things included on the disc. Madonna plans on recording a few songs for the compilation as well.
