Smith told rockitoutblog.com: “The new album from the Chili Peppers will be in stores by the end of August. So far there’s no album title yet but they’re currently picking which songs, from the many they recorded, will end up on the new release.”

But there are rumors that they’ll be announcing a South American tour soon as well as a show in the UK in November”

Beyoncé is playing five more dates in the UK and Ireland before the extended European portion of the I Am… Tour comes to a close.  These extra dates throughout November, which have taken in London, Dublin, Belfast, Nottingham, Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle, were announced in response to the overwhelming demand for Beyoncé tickets in advance of the initial leg in May and June 2009.

On Saturday 14th November at London’s O2 Arena, guest rapper and professional affirmative-action proponent Kanye West joined Beyoncé on stage to give his mad props to the former Destiny’s Child singer he thought should have won at October’s MTV Video Music Awards, instead of Taylor Swift – whose acceptance speech he gategrashed in order to give us all the benefit of his opinion.  But despite this, Beyoncé‘s reputation in Europe remained strong after she became a triple award winner at the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 6th, winning Best Female, Best Song, (“Halo”) and Best Video, (“Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”).  Beyoncé gave the crowd a storming rendition of current chart hit “Sweet Dreams”.

“We’ve literally lived the ultimate boy’s adventure tale,”said the trio, who added that this meant they could follow “other meaningful aspects of life, be it humanitarian work, politics, or whatever else”.

The Norwegian band scored international hits with The Sun Always Shines On TV and Take On Me in the 1980s.

Their most recent album, Foot Of The Mountain, was released only in June, producing a top-10 hit of the same name that signalled a return to their synth-pop roots after a period of musical introspection and diversification. The album charted at number 5 in the UK.

Pink performed her last US tour date in Madison Square Gardens, New York and some reports have described the show as theatrical and well choreographed, giving an indication to what Pink fans can expect if coming to see Pink live in action in the UK.

Pink began the show wearing an outrageous orange outfit full of feathers to perform Just Like A Pill, but later revealed red hot pants and matching cheetah-print top as she sang Who Knew.

There were more eccentric costume changes throughout the night but the song that seemed to really get the crowd up on their feet was during U + Ur Hand, after Pink told the crowd that this song made her want to dance around like an idiot to then encourage the crowd to join her and do the same.

Some spectacular choreography could be seen during So What, where female dancers in their underwear staged a playfight whilst pushing a male dancer around on top of a bed, with more feathers flying about all over the place from the pillows used to beat up the only male.

However, events later turned into a sombre affair for the performance of Family Portrait, where Pink sang next to a pianist and violinist whilst wearing a white tank top, jeans and no shoes. This was later followed by the performance of Dear Mr. President to continue the serious mood, as the large screen in the background showed clips of broken families, war and poverty.

Things later returned back to its lighthearted nature just as the show was coming to an end, where Pink gave a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

During the title track to her album Funhouse, all connotations to the word could be seen. Imagine a circus; glitter, mirrors, clowns and dancers doing acrobatic moves in the air with twirling ribbons. Pink was also lifted in the air to join in with her own moves to really give the wow factor to her performance.

Tickets are still available to see whether the UK Funhouse tour will match up to what was already witnessed in the States, but Pink fans will need to be quick.

The Pink tour will visit major UK arenas such as the Manchester Evening News Arena (October 23-25), Birmingham National Indoor Arena (October 30 & 31) and the London O2 Arena (December 8 & 10).

Pink tickets are available to compare and buy now at Tixdaq.com, with prices starting from £35.

Teenage country singer Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video award for the single You Belong With Me and was in the middle of her acceptance speech before rapper Kanye West stormed onto stage, grabbed the microphone and declared Beyonce should have won for her video for Single Ladies.

Beyonce revealed that before the winner was announced, Kanye West had already said to her “You have this award”, so she already knew his intentions to “stand up for art”.

When her name was not announced as the winner, Beyonce saw how shocked Kanye West was and she became increasingly mortified as he invaded the stage before declaring his opinion out loud.

In the end, Beyonce felt the night was not ruined and even seemed pleased when she did not have to make her own acceptance speech when she won Video Of The Year at the same awards ceremony, instead giving Taylor Swift her second chance to come back on stage to give the acceptance speech she couldn’t before.

Both Taylor Swift and Beyonce will take to the stage in the UK for their upcoming headline tours next month.

Taylor Swift will perform songs from her current album Fearless at the London Wembley Arena on November 23 and the Manchester Evening News Arena on November 24.

Forever Is Over is taken from the second studio album called Wordshaker by the girl group The Saturdays, but singer Mollie King has revealed that the song was originally written for the American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.

The song was written by James Bourne, the former member of boy band Busted, and Mollie King recalls how the song fell out of Kelly Clarkson’s hands and into theirs.

She said the first time the girls heard the song was at The Saturdays’ record company offices whilst James Bourne was talking to the head of the record label.

The Saturdays entered the office and openly said they wanted to record it, and despite being informed the song was intended for Kelly Clarkson, James Bourne gave the song to the girls instead.

However, it seems Kelly Clarkson is doing fine despite missing out on the song, as she recently performed her own unique and exclusive cover song whilst on tour for the album All I Ever Wanted in the US.

Kelly Clarkson performed a mix of Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon with That I Would Be Good by Alanis Morissette.

Maybe those attending Kelly Clarkson’s UK gigs will also get to see her perform this live.

The Kelly Clarkson tour will take place at various UK venues next year such as the Liverpool Echo Arena (February 9 2010), Bournemouth International Centre (February 15), Cardiff International Arena (February 17) and the London Wembley Arena (February 19).

A few new revelations about Beyonce have come to light as the UK starts to get ready for her upcoming tour for the album I Am Sasha Fierce.

It has been reported that Beyonce claims she is a disastrous cook and the way she prepares to host a dinner for friends is to order takeaway from the best restaurants and having it delivered to her.

She has also revealed that she loves ordering room service at hotels and that in some hotels, she is so familiar with the menu already that she looks forward to ordering her favourite dishes as soon as she arrives there.

However, when Beyonce is not touring from city to city, she likes to spend her free time riding her bike. She said she enjoys cycling with other members of her entourage, such as her stylist and her assistant, and rarely gets recognised.

Beyonce said that cycling helped keep her grounded as she is able to cycle as normal without being stopped as onlookers tend not to realise it is actually her and when they do realise, it is too late.

It also seems that video games is something else Beyonce is interested in outside of music because she has revealed she would like to create a new dance fitness video.

Admitting she is a fan of the Nintendo Wii Fit game, Beyonce claims that dancing and choreography is the most fun way of working out and thinks women would also think the same, especially when compared to running on the treadmill.

Beyonce will have to wait a while for her free time as her massive UK tour is set to start at the Liverpool Echo Arena on November 11.

The Beyonce tour will also play at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena (November 12), London O2 Arena (November 14 & 16), Manchester Evening News Arena (November 18), Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (November 19) and the Nottingham Trent FM Arena (November 20).

Paramore recorded the soundtrack Decode for Twilight starring British actor Robert Pattinson, with many fans eagerly anticipating the second installment called New Moon.

However, lead singer Hayley Williams explains that Paramore declined the opportunity to record the follow up to Decode because she did not want Paramore to be referred to as the ‘movie band’.

Hayley Williams said she would rather leave the opportunity to record the movie soundtrack to another band, rather than capitalising on the success from the movie industry.

Hayley Williams also revealed that the band were asked to record for the Transformers 2 movie, but would rather focus on their own album to promote.
