Who knew that ‘Gossip Girl’ star Taylor Momsen actually has a band? The pretty blonde starlet is a member of the band called the Pretty Reckless and they are going to be hitting the road with The Veronicas. They will be making their way around Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. I wonder if Taylor’s band is any good. I like this girl and I’m hoping that she’s not among those wannabe actresses who just think they can sing or rock or whatever. Paging Scarlett Johansson. Stay tuned for info on Pretty Reckless and what the jury will think on whether they’re worth a listen or not.

The singer’s family is concerned that her new “Circus” tour is too much for her. A source said this about Britney Spear’s family concerns: “Her family is worried this might be too much pressure for her. Is it too soon? It wasn’t that long ago that she was falling apart and now the pressure is on and it’s a lot.” However, Britney Spears’ aunt made a contrasting statement: “I am so excited for her, and I wish I could be there. All the family is there and supporting her. I’m sure that she is going to be just fine. I think it is going to be something really special.” Well, we can very well dismiss the aunt as being entirely subjective, but what about Britney Spears’ father? What does he think? But he probably doesn’t have time to tell us what he thinks since he’s too busy pulling all of the strings.

Chris Cornell has announced that he will hit the road for a 2009 US tour to support his upcoming Timbaland produced album, Scream, which hits stores March 10th. The tour will kick off in Austin, TX on March 27th and continue through April 19th hitting major cities like Chicago, New York, and Boston. Check out Cornell’s MySpace page to hear tracks from his upcoming album and head over to his official site for more information regarding the tour and to read his personal blog.

Watch out everybody! Lily Allen is expected to come to the US and Canada for a brief tour in April. That is, if she doesn’t cancel like she did her last North American tour. Anyway, the British troublesome singer’s little run of dates will start on April 1 at the House of Blues in San Diego, California and will wrap up on April 22 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has a total of 15 dates to make. She will also hit Washington, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Georgia, DC, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York. Will you be going to one of her shows?

Kelly Clarkson may have the number one song in the country but tickets to her concert are being knocked down by 50% and all you have to do to get them is to fly to the Bahamas and pay for four nights of hotel accommodations. Even resort hotels like the Atlantis are feeling the effects of the economic crisis so they’re trying to lure vacationers by slashing prices to the original American Idol’s February 14th concert. If they really wanted you to vacation there, they should have just slashed their room rates and not let Kelly suffer in the deal. Why her camp agreed to this, I don’t know.

Country singing sweetheart Taylor Swift has recently announced the she is going to go on the road for her first ever solo headlining tour of the US and Canada this year. Taylor will be hitting a remarkable 54 cities and ticket prices start at the very affordable price of $20. Fellow country singer and friend Kellie Pickler will open for her on all shows. The tour will kick off on February 10th in San Antonio, Texas and will wrap up on October 10th in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That’s one long tour! Taylor promises a big production and spectacle. With the success that she has and her intelligence about the business, I have no doubt that her show is going to be great!

Clique Girlz check in this week from a stop on their recent tour with The Cheetah Girls in Greenville, South Carolina. Tune in to watch Paris, Destinee and Ariel go through sound check, practicing their dance moves and getting a feel for the stage.

Be sure to check out last week’s episode of Clique Girlz TV and get a glimpse into their tour bus turned “school bus.”

Hot on the heels of ultra-successful runs with Theory of a Deadman, Seether and the Puddle of Mudd Tour, Nashville favorites SafetySuit will grace the stage alongside multi-platinum artists 3 Doors Down and Hinder for what is poised to be one of the biggest rock tours of 2009. They’ll be kicking off a month long run on January 22nd in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Nearly a year after their debut single “Someone Like You” hit airwaves SafetySuit have garnered critical acclaim and widespread appeal. “Someone Like You” broke through the Hot A/C Top 30 and Alternative Top 15, while the accompanying music video is steadily climbing the VH1 charts-hitting #8 on the Top 20 Countdown week of 12/22. Their second single “Stay” will be impacting at Top 40 and Hot A/C in February.

“SafetySuit is a fantastic artist development story,” said Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone. “They’ve built up a passionate grassroots following through constant touring, while our team has been working for the past year to seed their music across multiple platforms. They’re a great band with a long career ahead of them, and it’s gratifying to see everything coming together so beautifully.” To date four tracks from their debut album Life Left To Go, including “Someone Like You”, have been featured on the hit MTV reality show “The Hills”. The resulting sales increase is staggering; both mobile and digital track sales are up 1000% and full album sales are up 25%.

Beyonce and Solange Knowles have canceled their Beyonce and Solange: Hope for the Holidays benefit show saying that there are irresolvable scheduling conflicts. The concert to benefit the victims of Hurricane Ike was scheduled for earlier this week. There’s no word yet on when or even if the show will be rescheduled but the record label released a statement saying “Beyonce and Solange regret the cancellation of their Houston-area holiday concert and urge their fans to support the efforts of The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund and the Survivor Foundation.” Another source gives an update regarding the show saying “The special will be rescheduled and that everything possible was done to make the show happen on the 9th.”

Britney Spears flew in to Germany this past Monday for a mini-tour before her new album ‘Circus’ is officially released. Her MTV documentary ‘Britney: For the Record’, premiered this past Sunday. In the documentary, the recovered singer revealed that she married Kevin Federline for all the wrong reasons. She shared “Your music is a reflection of what you’re going through. It’s such a part of me, the record, because of what I’ve gone through. I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything.”

Christina Aguilera rocked out the stage in a few outfits as she performed live in concert at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi last week. The performance in Abu Dhabi was the first time that the 27-year old powerhouse singer performed in the Middle East. Christina’s show drew approximately 15,000 fans and performed a set of both current songs and old classics. To think that the Middle East is a very conservative country, I’m surprised they let Christina perform in some of the outfits she wore and some of her old songs. It’s a good thing she didn’t bring out the assless pants from ‘Dirrty’.

Feist is going to be taking a breather or two or three or four when she’s done with her current tour. The Canadian singer isn’t retiring just yet. She says she just wants to collect herself after the success of her last album ‘The Reminder’. The singer told the Canadian Press “[My career] has become kind of large and it really began for me very, very small. Like me alone in my bedroom with my four-track and a pair of headphones. I just need to go back there for a while to get my bearings again and then know what to do next. I just need to let it rest for a minute.” Feist’s Canadian tour comes to an end in November.

The US officials granted UK pop tar Lily Allen an American work visa recently. The troubled singer’s permit was revoked by immigration officials last year when she was arrested for attacking a photographer. I guess the grant came right on time as she is planning to do an American tour in 2009 to promote her second album. Lily spoke of the happy news saying “I got my U.S. visa today, yay! It means I can go and tour there and finish what I started, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while.” Somehow, I don’t think anybody really cares.
