Ronnie Wood will reportedly discard plans to re-form band The Faces if there is a chance the Rolling Stones will tour or record new material.
The guitarist, 61, had previously said he wanted to put his old band back together for a new tour and include special guests such as Mick Hucknall and Glen Matlock.
However, pals say he will throw out the plan if it is agreed that the Rolling Stones will either tour or make a new album.
A pal said to UK newspaper Daily Express: "Ronnie’s really keen on the Faces reunion but he’s a Stone first and foremost. If Mick decides the band are doing something, Ronnie will be on board immediately and other projects
When you’ve found a way to make some money, you’re going to stick to it and milk it for what it’s worth for as long as you can. Disney is doing just that when it comes to a big capitalist ploy that they’d like to call Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana.
Billy Ray Cyrus’ spawn is extending her ‘Best of Both Worlds’ tour which happens to be one of the hottest tickets of the year. Fourteen more performances have been added in January. Tickets go on sale this Saturday and just like the previous dates, they’re likely to be sold out in mere seconds and end up on eBay for ridiculous amounts of money.
Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of “perverting the course of justice”. For all those who don’t speak British, that means interfering with a police investigation. But it’s not as heavy as the arrest for her husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
The singer’s rep has confirmed that Wino has been arrested but explains that this is common practice in the UK. A person is technically arrested when they are brought in for questioning but Wino has not been charged with anything and that her “arrest” was actually “by appointment”. She has since been released but is due back for more questioning in March.
The Jonas Brothers have really hit the big time. The musical trio of brothers Kevin, Nick and Joe were seen attending the 2007 Jingle Ball pre-event at The Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday in New York City.
Another mark of their success is that they were recently announced to be performers during ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Even 2008’ along with Carrie Underwood and Miley Cyrus. They will have live performances from Times Square with the show airing on Monday, December 31 on ABC. What a hot way to rock in the New Year – an American Idol and two big names from Disney.
Hold on to your seats what I am about to say may knock your socks off. Babyshambles singer, Pete Doherty is well known as being a drunk and a junkie. So you can imagine the amazement felt by fans when he showed up SOBER for a recent gig; refusing offers of booze before gracing the stage.
Yes that’s right. Pete Doherty. Sober.
Admittedly he has revealed a new addiction – to mince pies. Hmm, an odd one indeed, but undoubtedly better for him than his usual tipple.
However I am sure bookies are already taking bets on how long this lasts. Mince pies don’t exactly have the same effect as cocaine and alcohol I am sure of it.
At her sold out Wembley gig last night, Rihanna proved she can hold her own against any of the strong female legends of pop as she rocked the stage in some very hot outfits.
The performance certainly drove away any ‘teen-pop’ image she may have been carrying. With awesome stage presence, powerhouse vocals and moves that would have Beyonce shaking in her boots; the fans went nuts.
I doubt the many changes of PVC bondage outfits harmed the effect either.
I can now tell you just why R Kelly did not show for a court date in Chicago earlier this week. And no, it’s because he was sick like Britney Spears. He was actually left of the side of a Utah highway without a ride after his tour bus got stopped by the police.Police sources in Utah say that the singer’s four tour buses were stopped after they were spotted going over 100 mph. After a couple of other checks, the buses were ordered taken out of service which left the passengers to their own devices of finding a ride.
Here’s the music video for the new Mya single titled “Ridin”.
The track is the second single of Mya’s new album entitled “Liberation” due for release later this year.
R&B star Beyonce gave a special concert on Sunday at The Staples Center in Los Angeles. So many things happened that night. She recorded the DVD for “The Beyonce Experience Tour”
but NEVER forgotten!!!!!!! Our memories are special!!!
