Enrique Iglesias: No Longer Touring with Britney Spears

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Pop,

Britney Spears gave Good Morning America fans plenty to talk about on Tuesday. After she performed for the live audience and home viewers, she revealed to the show exclusively that Enrique Iglesias will be joining her on tour. But, Brit spoke a little too soon, as Iglesias decided not to do the gig hours later.

His rep had few details to offer, saying only that the singer “is very sorry for the confusion this might have caused anyone.” According to the statement, Enrique is a fan of Brit’s and he respects her work. Just don’t expect to see them on the same ticket together.

For some of you, a “Glam Nation” tour featuring American Idol 8 contestants Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta might be right up your alley. For others, a “Timeless” tour is more to your liking.

Lady Gaga Touring with Kanye West

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Dance, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,

Although I doubt Baba Wawa (a.k.a. Barbara Walters) has a clue who Lady Gaga is, she’ll probably figure it out soon enough.

Earlier today, Kanye West broke major touring news…to the ladies of The View. (It’s apparently the new TRL.) The rapper told the daytime audience that he’ll soon be performing with that other musical fashionista.

So will Gaga be opening for Kanye….or will he be the warm-up act for her? Neither. “She’s talented and she’s, um….she’s so incredible that she’s not an opening act. We’re doing our show together, with no opening act,” West teased. (So it’s basically the hipper version of the Elton John/Billy Joel tour?)

No other details about the upcoming tour have yet been announced.

Beyonce Covers Alanis Morissette

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, Dance, R&B / Soul,

During yesterday’s kickoff concert in in Edmonton, Alberta, Beyoncé (a.k.a. Sasha Fierce) paid tribute to her host country by honoring two famous Canadian artists.

While closing “If I Were a Boy,” Sasha Fierce segued into the gritty version of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” (In the video above, you can see how she skillfully avoided saying the “F” word.)

Later in the show, the newlywed donned a wedding gown and sang Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.” (You can view that clip after the jump.)

Here’s hoping she rocks out to Heart’s “Barracuda” when she crosses the border and stops in Seattle.
