Britney Spears Schedules Good Morning America Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Pop,
Score another one for the Disney network. Just over a week after debuting Britney’s new video, it’s being reported that ABC will also be hosting Spears’ return concert.
According to the New York Post, the pop star will be hitting New York City’s Bryant Park on December 2. The Good Morning America appearance - which happens on the singer’s 27th birthday - will air on the same day the new album, Circus, drops.
While any Britney appearance would be highly-anticipated, this winter concert carries extreme significance. The morning show gig will be the first time Spears has sung (or lip-synched) in public since her 2007 MTV spectacle. The GMA event will also help kick off the tour reportedly set for next spring.

Paula Abdul Cancels Concert Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, FOX, NBC, American Idol, Cancellations,
Apparently four extra months of rehearsal time wasn’t simply enough.
Although she was given a second chance to participate in Today‘s Summer Concert Series, Paula Abdul has just gone two-for-two. The American Idol judge has just canceled her live gig scheduled for August 29. This show-stopping move comes months after she was slated to perform on April 25.
Predictably, Abdul once again blames other commitments (this time for the FOX) as the reason for the decision. (As if the producers weren’t given plenty of notice about her morning show appearance.) Of course, an insider claims Paula’s busy calendar wasn’t really the issue. “Please. She can’t perform live. Her voice on the single is so mixed and electronicized you don’t know what she really sounds like any more,” said a source.
Wow. While I admittedly thought it was funny that Justin Guarini was doing free shows on Universal’s CityWalk, I must say he has now just earned a bit more of my respect. At least he has the guts to show up and face the public!

Details on the Jonas Brothers Movie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Documentary, Music, Upcoming Releases,
If you got caught in the mania behind February’s Hannah Montana movie, consider this your warning. You now have just over six months to go until the Jonas Brothers have their turn.
Early next year, fans of Nick, Joe and Kevin will get their chance to see the hot boy band in glorious 3-D. The Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Movie will be comprised of footage from their current Burning Up tour combined with behind-the-scenes stuff on the musicians’ lives. Based on the interest of Miley Cyrus’ outing, Disney could expect to see ticket sales in the neighborhood of $30 million on opening weekend alone.
The Jonas Brothers will rock the theaters on February 27, 2009.

Idol Divas Talk Tour
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
The five females who managed to snag coveted Top 10 spots on the seventh season of American Idol recently talked with reporters about the aftermath of the show and the beginning of the summer tour.
The tour kicked off in Arizona, the first of 49 cities which will soon welcome the group of crooners. Diminutive Ramiele Malubay feels positive about the tour, saying there will be “no one to say you sang horrible.”
“It’s not about what a judge is going to say. It’s about the music and the fans connecting and having a great time,” offered Brooke White.
Carly Smithson also felt cheerful, saying “it’s amazing. Nobody is going to judge us after we sing.” Third-place finalist Syesha Mercado likened the tour to “a mini-concert for each person.”
“We sing three songs each,” Brooke White said of herself and her fellow females, “David Cook five, Archuleta will sing four. I think a lot of people had the impression it was going to be a bunch of group numbers, but it’s not. We actually are going out as individual performers and do our own set, our own music.”

David Archuleta Charity Concert Called Off
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
I have never auditioned for American Idol and I’ve certainly never been on the show, but even I know that contestant affiliation with Idol never, really, ends. And in that first year or so after you leave the show, you can’t do anything with Idol’s say-so. David Archuleta, and his father, are learning that lesson in a very public way.
Jeff Archuleta, manager to son David Archuleta, planned a large charity benefit concert for the young crooner. Scheduled to take place this weekend, the concert has been completely called off. It seems Jeff failed to get permission from Idol before planning the event. Uh-oh.
The Idol summer tour is scheduled to begin in a few short weeks - nothing may conflict with this. “When all the minds met, everyone concluded this wouldn’t work out for this particular weekend.” This was the statement given by Jeff Archuleta to the Salt Lake City Tribune.

Alanis Morissette’s New Album and New Body
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos,
Earlier this week, singer Alanis Morissette hit the Today show stage to promote her latest album, Flavors of Entanglement. (You can see a clip from the concert after the jump.) And while the fans should have been focusing on her new single (“Underneath”), they couldn’t help but notice the 33-year-old’s new body.
Even though it was hard denying Morissette had seen better days, it wasn’t her obvious weight gain that bothered me. (Sadly, she’s probably just a Size 4 now.) I just wanted to know where her stylist was! Yes, we know her ex is now newly engaged...but that was no reason for her to dress so poorly. The ill-fitting pants or unflattering vest just weren’t necessary.
C’mon, Alanis. Performers like Jordin Sparks have already proven you can be larger and beautiful too!

New Kids on the Block Perform Today Show Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Music, NBC, Video,
After nearly 15 years apart (they last performed on stage in 1994), the New Kids on the Block kicked off their reunion tour this morning in a very rainy New York. Nevertheless, some eager fans waited nearly two days to get in line for the mini-concert.
During their Today show appearance, the group performed a number of songs including a medley of their older hits. (You can see several more of those clips after the jump.)
Those unable to make it to Rockefeller Plaza today can find more information on tour dates here.

Madonna Back to Kissing Women
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Photos,
I wonder if Britney Spears is experiencing any pangs of jealousy right now.
Last night during a Paris concert, Madonna found a new lady to tease the audience with. This kiss comes nearly five years after the singer’s much talked about smooches with the pop princess and Christina Aguilera. (If you need a reminder of those moments, you can see them again after the jump.)
I guess it doesn’t matter if Madonna is 45 or pushing 50. A racy publicity stunt works at any age for her.

Miley Cyrus To Skip Scheduled Disney Appearance
Has the house of mouse grounded Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus?
The Associated Press reports that Cyrus will skip a media event Friday to coincide with the end of taping of the Disney Channel Games.
The event would be Cyrus’ first scheduled public appearance since the scandal erupted over pictures the 15-year-old took with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the June issue of Vanity Fair.
The photo in question shows a bare-backed and shouldered Cyrus wrapped in a silky swath of fabric suggesting a bed sheet, though flaks for Vanity Fair say it was actually a shawl. The photo has sparked furious debate over whether the picture is too sexually suggestive for a 15-year-old girl, let alone Disney’s most lucrative starlet and the current “It Girl” of the tween set.

Disney Channel Games To Begin This Week in Orlando
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Games, Kids, Reality, Sports, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Editorial, News,
Walt Disney World’s Wide World of Sports will be the center of the known tween world this week when The Disney Channel Games kick off tomorrow in Orlando.
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, the Cheetah Girls and the ubiquitous Sprouse brothers from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody are among Disney stars continental and international who will compete this week with winnings going to charity.
Tuesday and Thursday production will be free and open to the public, albeit in a very limited way. Disney officials told the Orlando Sentinel, “We can’t have regular kids on the field.” That is due in part to the fact that the games aren’t really a sporting event, it’s more like a series of reality TV challenges. Footage shot this week will culminate in five half-hour shows that debut in late July on the Disney Channel.
