KISS “END OF THE ROAD” TOUR: NO PLASTIC SURGERY NECESSARY!

KISS is promoting their End of the Road farewell tour but they admit “It might last three years.” And why not? No matter how old they get, KISS has no expiration date. Gene Simmons is 69, Paul Stanley is 66, Eric Singer is 60, and Tommy Thayer is 57, and it doesn’t matter. If a hairline recedes, wrinkles appear, or a tummy gets big, the band’s fantastical costumes, makeup, and wigs will totally cover or distract from all undesirable features. When this band performs, they look pretty much the same as when they first started, decades ago. Lucky guys.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BLONDIE STILL RULES

After all these years, Debbie Harry is not only instantly recognizable but touring in the UK with sold out concerts. During her shows she always brings up her current obsession: bees. She’s concerned about the environment and the dying bee population. Her latest album is appropriately titled “Pollinator.” She and guitarist Chris Stein are still best friends through thick and thin, but not longer romantic. They’ve been touring together as Blondie since they reunited twenty years ago. Debbie says if she decides to retire she’ll can sell the portrait that Andy Warhol did of her and never worry about money again.

JANET JACKSON IS BACK AND IN CONTROL

Janet Jackson has NEVER liked going to crowded places with lots of paparazzi but she made an exception today because she DOES want to create excitement for her upcoming State of the World tour (and sell tickets too!) Janet and her 6 month old son Eissa Al Mana had lunch at The Ivy (which was probably the biggest paparazzi spot the last time she was in town.) She’s been living in London and despite claims that she’s moved back to LA, we doubt that her ex-husband would let her leave the UK permanently with their child. Janet is set to appear at the Hollywood Bowl on October 8 – tickets sell from $48.00 to $2300.00!

MADONNA IS AS OFFENSIVE AND ENTERTAINING AS EVER

142584PCN_Madonna13cut

Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour performance at Madison Square Garden was described as “3 hours of proving what a goddess she is.” Rolling Stone raved over her performance and praised her expansive “Olympic level choreography.” Who puts on a better concert than Madonna? – and she’s 57 years old! She still loves to shock: The show includes transgender “nuns” gyrating on crosses/stripper poles. It’s funny that she makes fun of Catholicism but never has bearded Hasidic men gyrating their abs. Opening act Amy Schumer also hit a home run with the crowd. Ex-husband Sean Penn was in the first row and brought his excited daughter Dylan backstage to meet Madonna. Sweet.

JANET JACKSON’S BACK AND SHE’S ALL COVERED UP!

141755PCN_Janet16(1)cut

Frankly, we never thought we’d see Janet Jackson onstage again after she married Arab billionaire Wissam Al-Mana. She dropped off the face of the earth for several years – presumably living like an obedient princess in Qatar. A snapshot of her at an airport swathed in black with a black veil (VERY burka-ish) fortified our ominous beliefs. Maybe she finally got bored with all that indulgence. We’re happy to see that Janet’s back onstage (she opened her Unbreakable world tour in Vancouver last night) but she’s not quite the same Janet we knew and loved. She’s no longer “Nasty.” Her Vancouver performance revealed a more demure and less naughty Janet – and her costumes covered her from neck to toe. But we’re glad to have her back.

COURTNEY LOVE AND LANA DEL REY: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN OR HELL?

129763PCN_Fashion23lovecut

No WONDER Courtney Love and Lana Del Rey are palling around at the British Fashion Awards. According to Rolling Stone the pair are planning to tour together. Courtney will open for Lana on her Endless Summer concert tour next year – so far eight shows are scheduled and one is at the Hollywood Bowl. These two singers are in no way alike and both are famously outspoken. It won’t be a dull tour, although some fans are mystified by the combination. (Above, they must have the same dress designer)

On the road again. Simply Red (“If You Don’t Know Me By Now”) broke up in 2009 but Mick Hucknall and the band are back together and about to start their 30th anniversary reunion tour. Back in the 80’s, Mick described himself as a “sex addict” and said he often had three sexual encounters a day. Above, he was photographed leaving a London radio station where he promoted the upcoming tour.

WE NEVER THOUGHT WE’D FEEL SORRY FOR MARIAH CAREY, BUT WE DO

123299Herculesmarcut

If there were any doubts about Mariah Carey being in a bad place right now, they’ve disappeared since recent concert photos from China surfaced. Mariah started her Elusive Chanteuse tour in Tokyo where her performance was an embarrassment because she couldn’t hit the high notes – or any notes for that matter. Audience members wondered if she was drunk. Reviews were deplorable. The show moved on to China where her wardrobe didn’t do her any favors, to put it mildly. Mariah’s underwear was plainly visible under a too-tight miniskirt. Is it the shock of having an album flop or the shock of getting a divorce messing up her mind? Meanwhile, her estranged husband Nick Cannon is partying nonstop and has never looked better. Click HERE to see Mariah in China.

J.LO’S BOYFRIEND CASPER SMART AND ENRIQUE IGLESIAS ARE TAKING SIDES AND IT’S NOT PRETTY

#jenniferlopez #enriqueiglesias #janetcharlton

To no one’s surprise, drama is on the menu backstage on the Jennifer Lopez/Enrique Iglesias concert tour. J.Lo’s boyfriend Casper Smart is feeling his oats and he’s reportedly VERY jealous of Enrique and every second J.Lo spends with him. (Maybe that’s why he sneaked into that peep show in New York.) In return, Enrique considers Casper to be a pipsqueak and an “errand boy.” Sources say he cannot figure out why Jen has such an “ugly” boyfriend – his words not ours.
