Evanescence’s Amy Lee Reveals Tour Plans

Band will tour U.S. and Europe in October, singer tells MTV News. By James Montgomery Evanescence’s Amy Lee Photo: Jason Squires/ WireImage Evanescence ‘s self-titled album isn’t due in stores until October 11, but that hasn’t stopped the band from giving fans a preview of what they can expect to hear on the disc — or, you know, three previews: first single “What You Want,” the booming “The Other Side” and the epic, ethereal “Lost in Paradise” — or from lining up a handful of early tour dates in support of the album. So far, Amy Lee and Co. have committed to a one-off show in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 17, a pair of big-ticket gigs in Brazil and Puerto Rico in October and a run of concerts in the U.K. in November. That leaves a rather sizeable hole right around the time of the album’s release — one the band plan to fill very quickly, Lee told MTV News. “We’ll be touring the U.S. and Europe in October. It’s not all [confirmed], but it’s going to happen,” she said. “We’re doing Rock in Rio on the 2nd, and then I think Puerto Rico, and that’s going to be awesome, because we’ve never played [there]. … That’s the beginning of the tour; the tour will start there, we’ll come back to the States, do a few weeks in the bigger cities, and then go do the same thing in Europe, and then the next thing will happen.” So just when will the full slate of Evanescence tour dates be revealed? Soon. A spokesperson for the band’s label, Wind-Up Records, told MTV News the band will begin announcing dates in two weeks, something Lee seemed to confirm Thursday when she took to Twitter to let her fans know the wait is almost over. “Guys, the tour dates that have been announced are only the beginning!” she wrote. “Don’t be sad if you don’t see a date in your town yet! We’re coming!” Are you excited to see Evanescence on tour? Tell us below! Related Videos Evanescence: First Listen Related Artists Evanescence

DJ Khaled Denies Rick Ross/ Young Jeezy Beef

‘Beef … we’re here to get money. We’re here to make great music,’ Khaled tells MTV News. By Alvin Blanco, with reporting by Rob Markman DJ Khaled Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images DJ Khaled just released his fifth album, We the Best Forever, which features contributions by Rick Ross and Young Jeezy . But not on the same track, which shouldn’t be surprising considering the two rappers have an ongoing feud. But according to DJ Khaled, that is no longer the case. “They don’t have a beef,” Khaled vehemently told MTV News. “That’s people that would probably try to stir things up that have a beef. First of all, Ross is my brother. Jeezy is a great friend of mine. And if they did, I would be the guy in the middle [that would] be like, ‘Stop!’ That’s just what I do. Beef … we’re here to get money. We’re here to make great music. What’s beef gon’ do? But if somebody disrespects you and try you, you gotta do what you gotta do. It is what it is. But we hope it don’t come to that in life. And that’s just in any situation.” Despite the Miami DJ and producer’s assertions that there is no friction between Jeezy and Rozay, the relationship between the two rappers can be described as cold at best. It began in August last year when Jeezy released the freestyle “Death B4 Dishonor.” Rapping over the instrumental to Ross’ hit “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” many speculated the lines “How you blowin’ money fast?/ You don’t know the crew/ Oh, you part of the fam?/ Sh–, I never knew,” were aimed at Ross. However, the Snowman said that was not the case. Since then, both have taken jabs at each other in song and in the press. Then in November 2010, footage appeared of Jeezy in Miami rhetorically saying, “Where is your favorite rapper at?” when he was asked about Ross. To this Ross told U.K. DJ Tim Westwood, “If you really have an issue, put it on the table and handle it like a G.” Nevertheless, Khaled, who has had his own issues with 50 Cent , is so confident in his skills at musical diplomacy that he feels he could get the Snowman and Rozay on a song together right now. “I’ve done it plenty of times already,” Khaled, who featured both Ross and Jeezy on two songs (“Fed Up,” “Put Your Hands Up”) from his 2010 album Victory, said. “Of course I could. You want me to go make one, no problem I’ll go do it. Matter of fact, I’ll do it just for the fun of it. But absolutely I can do that. Ross is my brother, and Jeezy is my brother. That ain’t no problem, that’s easy.” Related Artists DJ Khaled Rick Ross (Hip-Hop) Young Jeezy

Taylor Swift Is ‘Totally Cool,’ Tour Openers NeedToBreathe Say

South Carolina rock band tells MTV News Swift is ‘very pro for somebody who’s 21.’ By Jocelyn Vena NeedToBreathe Photo: Marc Broussely/ Redferns Even at the tender age of 21, Taylor Swift is one of the most poised superstars on the planet. And she has quite the reputation for being incredibly professional to work with. But when her tour openers NeedToBreathe finally got the chance to meet her, they were actually surprised by how true that is. “Well, she won’t let us look at her [for] long,” Bear Reinhart joked to MTV News. Brother Bo added, “She wears, like, a veil over her face the whole time, like, no eye contact.” Of course, that is anything but true, and Bear later added, “Honestly, it’s been really not like that at all. She was totally cool the first day … very pro for somebody who’s 21.” Bo continued, “[She’s] very down to earth and easy [to work with].” As the story goes, Swift handpicked the South Carolina band to be the opening act on her Speak Now tour , which is currently hitting up the country. And the band finds it hard to believe that they are playing to a sea of screaming teenage girls in arenas and stadiums night after night. “We thought when people called us, we thought they were joking,” Bear said of learning they’d be opening for the comely singer. “I think partly because it’s Taylor Swift and partly because we’re not really a country band and her fans are obviously a little younger than ours sometimes. But it’s been cool because she genuinely likes music and she likes our band and she’s been really sweet about the whole thing. “We met her and she was kind of nervous around us,” he continued. “I guess [because] we’re older than her, but she’s like a real fan. She’s like, ‘What songs are you gonna play?’ So that’s good, to be appreciated on a tour like that. Obviously, we could, like, never see her again, but she’s been great.” Related Artists Taylor Swift needtobreathe

Lil Wayne Bans Booze On Tour

Link:

As y’all know Lil Wayne is forbidden from drinking alcohol as part of his three-year probation, so the Young Money CEO is making sure there will be no temptations on his current I Am Still Music tour. A rep for his tour tells TMZ that his concerts have “a dry backstage as we are committed to keeping a safe and professional atmosphere to ensure a smoothly running tour.” Wayne is supposedly keeping the liquor off of his tour bus as well. Weezy has good reason to play it cool. In 2008 his tour bus was stopped in Arizona and a search turned up hard drugs and three fire arms. He served almost a year in Rikers Island prison from the resulting charges. The fans at the show will be able to drink as much as they wish, but we hope that Weezy is serious about staying clean and leaves the vices alone. Rappers violating probation is way too cliche.

Joe Jonas Wants To Hit The Road With Chris Brown

‘We liked working together, so I can see it working,’ Joe tells MTV News of his ‘See No More’ partner. By Jocelyn Vena Joe Jonas Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images Joe Jonas was once a curly-haired kid from New Jersey who sang bubblegum pop/rock songs about puppy love with his brothers. Well, he’s grown up a lot since then. He chopped off his hair and, on his first-ever solo album , Fast Life, he’s opening up about falling in and out of love. And in August, the middle JoBro turns a very grown-up 22. So, what does he have planned for the big day? “I don’t have any birthday plans yet, actually,” he told MTV News recently. “I don’t even know where we’re going to be because we’re trying to figure out a touring situation right now and it either looks like I’m going on my tour, my own tour, or opening up for somebody, supporting somebody on tour.” While his plans are still to be determined, he was sure of one thing: “Wherever I am, there will be a party and it will be fun.” Speaking of tours, Joe was once rumored to be hitting the road with Britney Spears on her now all-female Femme Fatale trek . Those plans didn’t pan out, of course, and now he’s looking to hook up with someone else on the road. Joe even shared his dream tourmate with us. “My dream list, wow … I mean, doing a tour with Chris would be cool,” he said of Chris Brown, who helped the singer pen his first single, “See No More.” “I feel like, musically, we both have the same sounds and we liked working together, so I can see it working.” Joe’s album drops in September , and he told us that he’s not holding back on it. “It was scary in the beginning,” he said of doing a solo LP, “just because I knew this is my one opportunity to show people my journal: the good and bad of every relationship I’ve been in, you know, [and] what I look for [in relationships],” he explained.

I feel so blessed to be writing yet another MBE but this time…

I feel so blessed to be writing yet another MBE but this time it features Selena! As some of you may know I met Justin last week at his Macy’s fragrance launch. My new MBE happened  exactly  one week after that. It all started when I heard Selena was in the city for press for her new movie ‘Monte Carlo’! I begged my dad to let me go one day out of the week she was going to be in NYC. Then I heard that Justin was with her! I didn’t want to get my hopes up but I was going to give it a shot and try my best. I knew where Justin and Selena were staying because my friend met them the day before and she was kind enough to tell me! I was the first one there and I was alone for about 10 minutes before I saw my friend @followcher. I stayed with her the rest of the day! About 5 more people showed up and there was only 7 of us. A few hours passed and my friend spotted Kenny walking out the door. I walked over and saw Justin! I said, “Justin can I please get a picture with you” really nicely. He looked over so at the point I didn’t think he was gonna say no and he said “Sure”. (By the way, as I was having my moment with Justin, Selena was by the car dancing because there was music playing out of the car haha she’s so adorable.) I went up to Justin said ‘hey’ and stood next to him. I  tried to give my camera to someone to take the picture but no one was paying attention so Justin grabbed my camera and handed it to Kenny! He took the picture and then I said, “I love you, can I have a hug?” He said, “Haha aw love you too” and shook his head yes! So then I gave him a hug and I died. As the other girls where taking pics and what not, I turn to Kenny said, “Sup Kenny, I like your braces!!” He goes, “Hey thanks!” Hahahahahha Kenny is the best. Then I went over to Selena and said, “I love your new album!” she was like, “AW thanks for the support”! then I said, “I’m seeing you on your tour this summer and I can’t wait” She said, “AW THAT’S GREAT!!” I said “I’m so so so excited, it’s gonna be so fun” She said, “YAY!! See ya there” I was literally shaking for Selena. I asked her for a picture and she said sure. But GO FIGURE. Justin was walked by as the picture was being taken! Judging by his face, I think he knew he was about to get in the way hahahaha! I didn’t even notice until the girl who took the picture, handed me the camera, and they had already gotten in the car. I wish the girl who took the picture would have noticed and said something, but its all good! At least it was a funny picture and you can see my bag strap under Justin’s chin! Before I uploaded it, I marked it with my name and this was the only version I put up! I have been seeing it all over tumblr, the internet, fansites some claiming it’s theres, I don’t know how people took off my name though! I just wanted to clear that up cause a lot of people wanted to know the story behind the picture!  Justin & Selena are honestly the nicest people ever, I am beyond grateful for my experience with them. It was really chill & we got to spend alone time with them talking. I just wanted to say they both really love their fans. I only wish them the best in their relationship if theres one thing I can tell you is Jelena is not fake. Justin seems so happy when with her, and Selena seems so happy with him. Never give up never in a million years would I have thought this would happen. – @danarosee Continued here: I feel so blessed to be writing yet another MBE but this time…

Rihanna Shakes Her Booty Again

I don’t know why I keep posting pictures of Rihanna performing during her tour, the shots are always exactly the same. What the hell am I supposed to say that I haven’t already said about this kind of thing? She’s in her colorful underwear shaking her junk in some stripper heels…. That’s pretty much all there is to say about it. She’s not doing anything we haven’t all seen a million times at our local strip club. Except without showing us any lady parts. Lame. more pictures of Rihanna here
