London is still haunting Madonna

Tough times never come alone! And same is happening with our lovely singer Madonna!

Some days back, the pop queen Madonna performed at the Wembley Stadium in London during her World Tour. She was clearly late by about 40 minutes in starting the concert which clearly meant that the show had to finish much later than planned.

The 50-year-old heartthrob singer recently came to know about the strict curfew laws of the Wembley Stadium when she was fined US$100,000 for every fifteen minutes her concert exceeded past the established curfew.

In total Madonna was smacked down by a mammoth sum of US$270,000.

Rihanna bans umbrellas

Rihanna has banned umbrellas from her UK tour.

The 20-year-old star has insisted the item be confiscated from fans, in case they injure themselves trying to copy the dance routine to her hit song ‘Umbrella’.

Andy McDonald, a security guard at the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, where Rihanna performed on Monday, said: “We were taking precautions over a potential accident. We were told Rihanna’s song features dancing with umbrellas on stage. We didn’t want the crowd following her actions and someone getting their eye poked out.”

The decision follows reports of several injuries caused by umbrella-related incidents during Rihanna’s recent European dates. One fan due to attend one of the singer’s upcoming shows said: “I was really looking forward to whipping out my umbrella during the song. I have been practising the routine for weeks but it has all been for nothing.”

Free Avril Lavigne

News broke out that Avril Lavigne’s Spring 2008 tour is not selling well. In light of that, Avril is settling for a free concert. While it’s not really that bad to hear, when you find out that it’s for the opening of Best Buy in Canada, yeah it is bad.

The Canadian sell out’s concert will be at the Swangard Stadium on December 2 at 1 PM for the free concert. The first 350 people at any Best Buy store in the Lower Mainland on Wednesday and Thursday before noon will get a pair of tickets for the show. There are also free VIP passes and autograph passes being given away.
