After performing 80 shows in 12 European countries for a staggering 1.3 million fans over the past year alone, legendary superstar George Michael will be bringing his smash 25 LIVE tour to North American Arenas in the summer of 2008 in support of his new retrospective record. This will be Michael's first North American tour in 17 years.  

Busta Rhymes was sentenced to three years of probation for two separate assaults in 2006. Busta (A.K.A. Trevor Smith) dropped his innocent plea last January to avoid a trial and a one-year prison stay. Busta pleaded guilty to assault, two driving infractions and weapons possession and began serving his sentence on Tuesday. In December 2006 Busta was charged with beating up his chauffeur, and an August 2006 incident in which he attacked a fan that spat on his car.

Michael Jackson has received notice that his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara will be sold at public auction on March 19, 2008 unless he comes up with $24,525,906.61 to pay off the loan.  The auction will include all personal property inside, all fixtures, appliances, furniture, and the rides outside.

Neverland Ranch is worth about $7 million in the current real-estate market. On at least one other occasion this year, Michael missed payments on the $2 million mortgage.

Some of Kanye West's video has nothing to do with the music.  However, his new video for his single "Flashing Lights" makes absolutely no sense.  The video features Rita G a Playboy Playmate from Houston and is co-directed by Spike Jonze.  The video starts by Rita G driving a car.  She stops, exits, walks away from the car, takes off a fur coat and then burns the coat.  All the time dressed in here underwear while wearing a thong.
