Concerts and Tours

Penn & Teller's magic act vanished from Las Vegas this weekend ... Penn Jillette was sidelined due to an ankle injury.

Penn took to Facebook to announce the news Saturday, writing, "We are sorry to have to cancel this weekend's shows. I broke my ankle yesterday and on doctor's orders, I am not able to do the show."

He added ... "Thanks so much for understanding and we hope to see you soon."

Ludacris is pulling out of Kid Rock's country music festival after some of his fans threw a fit when his name showed up on the lineup poster.

The "What's Your Fantasy" rapper originally appeared on the "Rock the Country" tour's lineup Monday this week -- along with Nelly -- but by Friday his name was removed from the poster.

Some folks view Kid Rock's music festival as part of the MAGA movement ... and Ludacris was getting roasted in some corners of the internet for seemingly getting on board.

A rep for "Rock the Country" told Rolling Stone Luda is no longer part of the festival ... and a rep for Ludacris told the outlet it was all a "mix up" and "lines got crossed and he wasn't supposed to be on there."

Cardi B is in full grind mode ahead of her upcoming tour ... and based on new rehearsal footage, she’s pushing herself and her team to get everything locked in.

The "I Like It" rapper took to IG to drop a new video -- set to her track "Hello" -- giving fans a look at her rehearsal sessions as she preps for the “LITTLE MISS DRAMA” tour.

Cardi’s seen doing it all -- stretching, jumping jacks, squats, crunches -- and working through choreography with a decently sized team. There’s plenty of collaboration happening in the room too ... as she fine-tunes moves with her dancers and staff.

Britney Spears calls the shots -- and she's saying she will never perform in the United States again.

The Princess of Pop shared the shocking news on Instagram Thursday night, explaining to fans she never plans to step foot on stage in America "because of extremely sensitive reasons."

However, she's ready to perform overseas ... teasing shows in the UK and Australia "very soon" with her son. She gushed, "He’s a huge star and I’m so humbled to be in his presence!!!" She also said she's sending the piano in the photo she posted to her son ... seemingly willing to help her kiddo in any way she can.

Jennifer Lopez may not know who her next man will be, but she knows he better come correct! That's according to a show she had last night in Las Vegas, where she gave her relationship dealbreakers.

Just after singing her 1999 smash hit "If You Had My Love," J Lo reflected on her love life over the quarter-century she's been performing the song.

The singer told the packed crowd, she sang it with hope at first, but over the years, she's also sung it when she was sad. Now, she says, she sings it in power.

President Donald Trump's controversial name change of the renowned Kennedy Center has really ruffled some feathers ... a Christmas Eve jazz concert was cancelled in protest at the performing arts center.

Chuck Redd, the host of the Christmas Eve concert, told the Associated Press that he pulled the plug on the event because he was pissed Trump switched the venue's name from the John F. Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center.

Redd said, “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

Barry Manilow shared a recent cancer diagnosis Monday, but he says not to worry ... doctors caught it so early, he won't even need chemo ... just a month of "chicken soup and 'I Love Lucy' reruns."

The 82-year-old Grammy winner posted ... "As many of you know I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks. Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK. The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed. It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early. That’s the good news.”

According to Barry, the "bad news" is that his surgery to remove the spot will sideline him from performing in scheduled concerts for January.

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- has confirmed she and ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron are not dating ... and she blames the whole fiasco on alcohol.

The former "chief people officer" for Astronomer opened up about the life-changing ordeal in an interview with The New York Times published Thursday ... she confirmed she is not dating Byron. In fact, they barely have any contact at all. She reasoned ... "Speaking with each other was going to make it too hard for everyone to move on and heal."

Cabot told the NYT she understands she made a choice -- an alcohol-fueled one -- that has now impacted her career. She explained ... "I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. And it’s not nothing. And I took accountability, and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay."

However, as she and her loved ones -- including her minor kids -- continue to heal from the traumatizing publicity, she is speaking out because she doesn't want her silence to become acceptance, noting ... "I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them."

Rihanna was fan-girling a bit too much for another fan during Mariah Carey's concert in Las Vegas recently ... and things got slightly heated between the two.

Riri was lovin' every moment of Mariah's show Saturday night in Sin City with the others in the packed crowd.

Video shows Riri swaying to Mariah's "We Belong Together," waving her arms and blowing kisses to Carey, who was performing the hit song onstage.

Riri was perched on top of a chair, blocking the view of fans behind her. This created some friction between Rihanna and another person, who supposedly told the icon to sit down so they could see Mariah's performance.

Congrats are in order for Mariah the Scientist and Young Thug -- they're engaged!

The "Go Crazy" rapper popped the question to his longtime girlfriend on stage at his "Hometown Hero: Young Thug & Friends" benefit concert in Atlanta last night -- and it's all on video! Check out the adorable moment ... he's on one knee as he pulls out a massive diamond ring with a huge grin across his face. The words “Will You Marry Me” are also displayed on the giant screen on stage.

It was a no-brainer for Mariah, who let him slide the sparkler onto her wedding finger. She's clearly thrilled, saying into the mic ... "Guess I'm getting married!" as fans go ballistic in the venue. The moment is sealed off with a kiss.

A medical scare briefly stopped the show at KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas when All-American Rejects frontman, Tyson Ritter, abruptly cut the band's finale mid-song to help a fan who collapsed in the crowd.

TMZ has obtained video showing the band halfway through "Gives You Hell" inside the packed L.A. Kia Forum, when Ritter suddenly halted the music, grabbed the mic, and pointed toward the pit, alerting security that a woman had passed out and needed help.

In front of thousands, Ritter calmly told the crowd to open space and assist her, then added a little holiday improv, urging someone to get the woman "Twinkies or sugar or Christmas gumdrops or pieces of gingerbread houses" to help her. Ritter also called out, "Are you okay?," checking on her from the stage.

Lady Gaga's tour dancer was dancin' till they were ... accidentally off the stage!

The Grammy winner suddenly brought her Saturday night concert in Australia to a screeching halt after one of her dancers fell off the stage as they were sliding on their legs down the runway. It's all on video -- everyone was strutting down the stage as Gaga sang "Garden of Eden." You can see the dancer, named Michael Dameski, glide right off the end of the stage, made slippery due to heavy rainfall.

Gaga immediately stopped the production to tend to Michael and then led an applause as she confirmed he was A-okay. Those at the venue said on social media she stalled the concert long enough so crew members could find him some shoes with better grip.

Here's Bruno Mars in a state of nirvana ... he's performing one of Nirvana's biggest hits ... and it's all on video.

Check out this clip from Thursday's private show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY ... Bruno is on stage with Slash, Duff McKagan, and Chad Smith when they start playing Nirvana's 1991 classic, "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Bruno's into it, and so is Orlando Bloom ... he's the cameraman here who recorded the video and shared it on his Instagram story. Thanks, Orlando!

Taylor Swift broke down in tears while discussing the fatal attack on young fans in the UK last year, just before meeting with survivors and their families.

The vulnerable moment came as she opened up about the horrifying event -- which left 3 dead in the town of Southport -- during her 'The End of an Era' docuseries that began streaming on Disney+ Friday.

Check out the emotional clip -- tears well up in her eyes and her voice breaks as she discusses the Liverpool attack. She cries ... "I’m gonna, like, meet some of these families tonight and put on a pop concert, you know?" She was hours away from taking the stage at London's Wembley Stadium, where she played a record-breaking 8 during The Eras Tour in 2024.

She's then seen walking backstage in her sparkly, bright orange "The Man" outfit -- worn during the first era of her setlist -- breaking down even further alongside her mom, Andrea, who is patting away tears with a tissue.

Aubrey O’Day had a recent medical scare ... and that's the reason she had to skip the Danity Kane reunion show Wednesday in Los Angeles, a stop on the group's comeback tour.

On her Instagram Story, Aubrey explained she was hospitalized after feeling sick all day ... fighting her undisclosed symptoms until she finally had to go to the ER -- saying she was "heartbroken" to let fans down.

Aundrea Fimbres and D. Woods ended up performing as a duo at the El Rey Theatre ... the second stop on Danity Kane’s "The Untold Chapter" tour, which was announced in October.
