Great news for all of you Kylie Minogue fans, well at least the ones in Australia and New Zealand.

Kylie has just announced on her official website that she is confirmed to go on tour in Down Under.

Aussies will be able to enjoy our fav Mz. Minogue later this December.

The singer says, "It's been such a joy to take this show to so many countries that I've never been to before, but it's a real thrill to be bringing it home to Australia and to be able to share it with you all."

She'll also be touring in New Zealand for the first time ever.

Kylie adds, "I'm so excited to finally be able to bring my show to New Zealand. This will be my second visit but my first concert performance and I can't wait to see you all there."

So far, her concert, X2008, has already toured to 21 countries across Europe.

Australian tickets will go on sale to the general public through the masters of over-charging in ticket fees, Ticketmaster, on September 8th, with pre-sales available on September 4th.

New Zealand tickets will be available to everyone on September 9th and pre-sold on the 5th.

Now we're still waiting for her U.S. tour!

“While the music industry is doing everything they possibly can to go out of business, can we all make sure to rid ourselves of the Grammys, too? Out of touch old men jacking each other off. ENOUGH!”

Boycott Britney!


h1 Friday, September 28th, 2007

She must be stopped!

Britney Spears‘ mediocre new single, Gimme More, which has stalled at radio, has managed to hit #1 on the iTunes singles chart.

That is just unacceptable!

As she proved with her disrespectful and half-assed performance at the VMAs, Britney does not care about her fans. Yet her hardcore fans are buying multiple copies of her single and gifting it to their friends.

Like a Los Angeles court said, Britney is a frequent and habitual user of drugs and buying her song is just feeding her addictions. Her fans are not “supporting” her now in their time of need. They are being enablers. And that’s not what Britney needs.

Britney needs tough love!

Britney needs a boycott!

So, the perfect alternative to all that is wrong with Britney?

Support Feist!

Not only does Feist deserve our support but she is incredibly talented and an amazing singer / songwriter / performer, in stark contrast to Spears.

Go to iTunes and download Feist’s 1,2,3,4. We can help her dethrone Britney!

You know the song. 1,2,3,4 is the tune from the new iPod commercial!

It’s an awesome song and you HAVE to own it. And if you already bought, then buy it again, y’all.

1,2,3,4 is currently at #4 on the iTunes singles chart. We can really make her get to #1!

So go to iTunes now or CLICK HERE and purchase it. We’re going to buy ten copies now and gift it to all our friends. We’re crazy like that.

Team Feist!

Down with Britney!

Britney Dumped By Her Manager!

Poor Britney from one mishap to another misfortune.

Her life is in a constant state of free-fall!

Celeb TV is reporting that Spears’ new manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm, dumped her as a client on Monday.

Why? Due to her recent erratic behavior.

She is unmanageable!

A source close to Britney’s camp says the change in management may affect the scheduled November 13th release of her new album.

First her lawyer dropped her Monday morning and then her manager bailed Monday afternoon.

Britney’s ship is most definitely sinking and everyone around her is going to dry land!

Fiddy’s Gonna Eat His Own Words!

50 Cent said earlier this week that he’s going to stop putting out records if Kanye West’s new album sells more than his when they are both released on the same day next month (September 11th).

Well, it looks like Fiddy’s gonna be going in to retirement!

Despite the fact that they are both getting equal promotion in a prime spot (at the very top) of the iTunes store, Kanye is far outselling 50 in pre-orders.

Kanye is selling so much that his new album, Graduation, is #3 on the iTunes Top Albums chart.

Fiddy’s Curtis is way behind at #9.

Same thing with the singles. Kanye’s kick-off song, Stronger, is going strong at #2 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. And not even Justin Timberlake has been able to help 50 get his single, Ayo Technology, to higher than #10.

Burn!
