Lady Gaga has bounced back from the cancellation of her highly-anticipated tour with Kanye West - she will hit the road with rapper Kid Cudi instead. Gaga's plans to merge pop with hip-hop fell through following alleged "creative differences" with West and she subsequently announced plans to tour solo. But the Poker Face hitmaker is determined to provide a rap element for her fans and has hired Kid Cudi to accompany her on the North American trek.
She says in a statement, "Due to diligent work and preparation, The Monster Ball will begin on November 27 in Montreal. The Monster Ball is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever 'pop electro opera.'" The tour will take in cities including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami before concluding in New York on 21 January (10).
R&B singer AKON is convinced pop superstar MICHAEL JACKSON will never commit to another world tour - because constant media intrusion has destroyed his confidence. The Thriller hitmaker has been the centre of growing speculation he is about to stage a comeback tour, with internet gossips suggesting he is lining up a series of dates for 2009. But Akon, who got to know Jackson after they teamed up to record a collaboration last year (07), admits that although the star is capable of putting on performances similar to those of his 1980s heyday, he will never tour again because the negative press coverage throughout his career has left him unable to "focus".
He tells WENN, "All of the good artists suffer from it these days. That's why they disappear and you've got people who don't even deserve to be there up there (in the charts) and people get tired and bored of that. "If you want quality concerts and quality performances they (the media) have to lay off people. Michael Jackson is the best performer ever and he can't even focus - you will never see another tour from him. (The media intrusion) plays a big role in that. "It affects the people they're writing about. It's a lot to do with Michael Jackson not coming out and being open.
"I think all he needs is a record, one hit record then he might get his confidence back." And Akon is adamant that the public can already see the damage media influence can do to stars - insisting the constant presence of the paparazzi was one of the major reasons for Britney Spears' January (08) breakdown. But the Smack That hitmaker is pleased the singer looks as if she has put her troubles behind her. He adds, "I really hope she is now here to stay. I'm pleased her album is doing so well. It's really neat of her to make a comeback."

“It’s great to go back out on a tour like this where the bands are all about returning rock to the forefront of music today,” says Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe. “On top of it, we get to introduce a new band who jumped the line to arenas through the Guitar Center: On Stage contest. Just like Ozzy gave us a chance and took us on tour at the start of our career, we’re looking forward to taking The Last Vegas on the road and giving them the same opportunity.”
Hinder front man Austin Winkler said, "Mötley Crüe is a massive influence on us, and an inspiration on so many levels for what we do! Mick even played on the title track for our new album. It will be an honor and privilege for us to tour with one of the greatest rock bands ever! And we can't wait to party our asses off with them!"

As CNN's graphic described them as "still raunchy still rockin." The band came to tell all about their latest album, tour and more. The heavy metal fest is next weekend in Montreal and they will be performing too. Meanwhile Larry asked questions about everything you wanna know except the Pamela Anderson one with Tommy getting back with Tommy Lee. This show was all professional arena based. Asked what was the weirdest any of them ever did, they said Tommy did not have a shower for 30 days! Ewww! Can you imagine the stinky tatoos? Also when the viewers Larry cam was put in motion, one viewer even asked them about same sex marriages.
Another viewer asked Vince if he still plans to beat up Axl Rose of Guns and Roses? He replied that was 20 years ago.
Another asked Tommy about the "breast cam " they use in concerts. I guess that one has to do with the ladies flashing? Tommy answered......O yes! We still use the "titty cams!" The whole show was funny as they even took Larry to their studio to play those loud guitars and Tommy's drum. Larry has had Snoop Dogg, Motley Crue and now he needs 50 Cent on the show to ask all the questions we are all asking. Great show!
So Jesse, you owe me Vince, Nikki, Tommy....any of the guys for my Xmas gift phoner.
