U2 has announced their huge North American concert tour has been postponed because lead singer Bono has to recover from emergency back surgery.
That includes the Irish rock band’s show at the New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey, which I happened to have tickets to see with my U2-loving family.
So much for my big summer concert plans.
A dramatization of how Bono might have injured his Irish back.
I really was looking forward to seeing U2 perform at the brand new football stadium in July, too.
And so far, all that us ticket holders have been told is that the tour will be rescheduled in 2011… sometime. Gee, I sure hope I’m free whenever that is…
Okay, so I missed the MTV Movie Awards this year. Until I caught half of the second immediate rerun and the other half of the third immediate rerun.
Overall the show was pretty good, a lot of funny jokes from host Aziz Ansari (“Parks and Rec”) and some typical MTV-ish moments, like Sandra Bullock’s kiss with Scarlett Johansson, but the real moment of the night was Tom Cruise’s attempt at remaining relevant.
He was back as his alter-ego Les Grossman, dancing around the stage like a lunatic, and then eventually with Jennifer Lopez for some reason.
Man, Tom Cruise has really let himself go…
Oh well, Katie Holmes didn’t seem to mind. She really enjoyed Tom’s moves…
Hard to believe, but singer Lady Gaga used to perform in a more restrained and traditional manner. At that time, she went by her birth name Stefani Germanotta and attended New York University.
Check out this video from the NYU Inter-Residence Hall Council of Lady Gaga singing and playing piano at the NYU Ultraviolet Talent Show. She ended up coming in third place.
The first song is called Captivated and the second one is Electric Kiss.
The best part is that one of the judges said she thought Lady Gaga would be the next Norah Jones. Perhaps you could see why she said that, but uh, no, not exactly Norah Jones…
In New York, concrete jungle where things are made of… there’s nothing you can’t do… Now you’re in New York… these streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you…
