Chris Brown is taking a break from his busy, court mandated, hard labor schedule -- to go on a concert tour for his remaining fans.
Brown just posted this on his Twitter: "BOUT TO START A SMALL TOUR SOON.. 15 TO 20 DATES.. MY FAN APPRECIATION TOUR. just for yall.nothin bigger than 4,ooo seater."
If Kanye West doesn't regret hijacking Taylor Swift, he will now -- we're told his concert tour with Lady Gaga was scrapped because ticket sales sucked. And "sucked" happens to be a nicer version of the word we were told.
And not only that -- our insiders say another factor in the cancellation was West and Gaga's people were at each others throats like their last names were Gosselin.
When it came down do it, we're told Gaga decided she'd be better off playing smaller venues ... and far from the headache caused by Kanye's ever present drama.
Good news Taylor Swift fans -- Kanye West's "Fame Kills" tour with Lady Gaga has been canceled.
Despite the fact that a rep from Live Nation told us YESTERDAY that the concert was still a go ... Nation announced they were pulling the plug on the tour today, which was scheduled to kick off in November.
No reason was given -- but the VMA backlash and Kanye's upcoming criminal court date could have been factors.
The trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson tour movie debuted last night -- and shows a ton of previously unseen rehearsal video of MJ in the months leading up to his death.
Michael appears with it in the footage -- and the huge dance sequences teased look damn bad ass.
The movie will be shown in theaters for two weeks, starting October 28.
Several witnesses expected to take the stand today as lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate -- as well as lawyers for Katherine Jackson and Michael's kids -- give testimony about the proposed deal with AEG about a Jackson memorabilia tour.
***KEEP REFRESHING FOR THE LATEST*** UPDATE 7:21 PM ET -- The petition has been approved!!! The AEG deal is done, the memorabilia tour will happen. Finally. The three-city tour could earn as much as $6 million for the estate.
UPDATE 7:20 PM ET -- An attorney for Katherine wants more protections in the agreement to protect the estate and Michael's legacy.
UPDATE 7:14 PM ET -- The attorney for Michael's kids is in favor of the AEG deal.
UPDATE 7:07 PM ET -- And we're back!
UPDATE 5:50 PM ET -- The court has been closed again as one of the senior lawyers for AEG has taken the stand. Outside of court, Taj told reporters the family is more interested in protecting Michael's legacy than in making money. He also told Taj that he planned to do film after the London tour.
Britney Spears' daddy is ready to release his daughter into the wild again -- we've learned the conservatorship may be coming to an end.
Sources tell us Jamie Spears will ask the court to review the terms of the conservatorship after her concert tour ends in November. Jamie can't ask the judge to end it -- just to review it. The judge then decides if Britney should regain control of her life.
We're told Jamie thinks Britney is ready to roll on her own. He has made her life his full time job since February, 2008.
Fact is ... if it weren't for the tour, given Britney's progress, the judge might already have made the decision to undo the conservatorship. The various vendors were promised under their contracts that the conservatorship would stay in tact throughout the tour.
A little editorial comment ... it may be the most remarkable turnaround we've ever seen. A year and a half ago, people were worried for Britney's life.
Over a minute of footage from Michael Jackson's tour rehearsal -- taken just two days before he died -- has been released by AEG, showing the legend rocking out to his song "They Don't Care About Us."
Britney Spears may have phased out the pink wig, her British accent, daily panty shots and her overall sense of train wreckery, but some things never change -- girl is still lovin' it at McDonalds.
Mickey D's may only have chicken nuggets -- but Brit Brit was definitely serving up a healthy helping of legs.
Who knew that taking a mentally fragile 48-year-old woman on a singing tour would create problems?
Susan Boyle -- you may remember her as a singer, or someone who very, very recently almost had an entire mental breakdown -- pulled out of tonight's "Britain's Got Talent" tour performance in Manchester. Officials are saying that Boyle's absence is nothing more than a "one off rest day."
Boyle has already performed three times on tour. That means she's only worked to the point of insanity 25% of the time.
We've learned Britney Spears and K-Fed have reached a new agreement on custody -- and now Brit has the kids more than 50% of the time -- at least during her concert tour.
Lawyers for Brit and Kevin Federline have filed docs with the family law Commissioner Scott Gordon, stating they have reached a new temporary custody arrangement. During June, July and August, Britney will have physical custody of Jayden James and Sean Preston more than 50% of the time. The lawyers submitted a calendar outlining who gets the kids on which day.
Contrary to some reports, we know that before the change Britney had the kids 50% of the time.
The 50/50 split will go back into effect once Britney's tour is over.
Kevin Federline has taken his nanny show overseas -- he's following Britney Spears abroad with his broad and will make a small fortune this month -- babysitting.
Our sources say Britney will take Sean Preston and Jayden James everywhere she tours -- next stop ... London. During the month of June, we're told K-Fed will rake in approximately $30,000 for his babysitting services -- this on top of the $20k he already gets a month in child support. True enough, it's what Britney has to pay so she can take the kids on the road.
So $30,000 for making sure the nanny makes a proper PB&J ... where do we sign up?!
How does Britney Spears get off using motorcycle officers to clear a path on an L.A. freeway during rush hour so she can get to a concert and lip-sync?
Britney footed the bill for a CHP escort yesterday that took her 28 miles, from Calabasas to the Staples Center in Downtown L.A. TMZ's news manager was on the 101 freeway at around 6 PM -- about four miles north of Staples -- when he heard the chirping honk of a motorcycle, directing him to move the hell over so Britney's motorcade could steamroll by.
How can officers use horns and flashing lights to clear a path in a non-emergency? That's what we wanted to know. So we called a CHP official who said the Department provides the same service for the President, Rose Bowl teams, for movie details, etc.
But what about officers chirping off other drivers to clear a path? The official said the officers "can use the tools at their disposal, including lights and sirens, to expedite the flow of traffic and ensure safety."
Britney -- here's an idea. How about leaving earlier and suffering like the rest of us?
The most dramatic moment at the Britney Spears concert in L.A. last night wasn't the performance -- it was right before the show when some dude got up on stage and popped the question!
In front of the giant crowd, the brave dude called his girlfriend on stage and proposed ... and she said yes, y'all!
As far as the concert -- we had spies all over the show ... no immediate craziness to report.
Billy Bob Thornton should have known better -- being impolite doesn't fly for Canadians.
The actor "musician" and his band, The Boxmasters, have canceled their last two Canadian tour dates with Willie Nelson following Billy Bob's now-infamous radio rant of d-bag awesomeness, according to an announcement on Willie's website.
But Billy Bob didn't just end his hissy fit in the studio. Apparently he went on stage later that night, in front of an all-Canadian audience, and called his interviewer an "asshole"... for, you know, asking Billy Bob questions.
The canceled shows might stem from the fact that Billy Bob said Canadian audiences were boring ... or because actors are usually terrible at playing music.
He's just lucky he was in Canada and not some scarier, less-Canadian country.
