What’s it like to have to tour because people basically want to hear one song of yours? One song that inspires violent thoughts in the many of those whom cannot stand it? Well, just ask James Blunt. Seems ol’ Jimmy had a tough time in L.A. Wednesday night at the Gibson Amphitheatre. He looked bad, his voice cracked many a time, and he strained too much, making his songs come off as overblown. I’d insert a snarky comment here, but will refrain. In the meantime, “You’re Beautiful” continues to be pumped out by the bucketsful.

Heather Mills McCartney is denying all rumors that she has a lover which contributed to the dissolution of her marriage to Paul McCartney. However, she says she has been getting a lot of hugs on the street from people. According to Mills, 85% of her income has gone to charity, in stark contrast to the rumors that she was just out for Paulie’s cash. In the meantime, she’s lost some weight, which she’s attributed to her new vegan lifestyle. She’s also planning on opening some vegan restaurants. Sorry, Heather, but Linda ye shall never be.
To celebrate his (probably first of many) comeback(s), Jay-Z performed seven concerts around the US in 24 hours. Mind you, these were seven 30-minute concerts, but hey, in this day and age, you have to come up with something nifty to announce your return. And what better way than by getting the worst possible case of jet lag ever?
…you’d think someone would’ve stolen it by now. Then again, would you steal from Tony Bennett?
Bennett turned 80 this year (happy belated b-day, Tony) and to celebrate, director Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Memoirs of a Geisha”) teamed with Bennett to produce an hour long special that commemorates the career of the legendary singer. A portion of the show features celebrity narration from Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Robert DeNiro, and Billy Crystal, discussing the highlights of Bennett’s work. The best bits, however, are the song and dance numbers; Bennett duets with the likes of Barbra Streisand, Christina Aguilera, Diana Krall, and John Legend, with Marshall having recreated sets from various periods in Bennett’s history, including a ‘60s variety show and the stage of Carnegie Hall. Bennett and Marshall did a teleconference to promote the special, and Bullz-Eye was able to ask a few questions of Mr. Bennett…though we apologize wholeheartedly that we didn’t ask Mr. Marshall a single thing. Sorry, Rob, “Chicago” was great, but this is Tony freaking Bennett, man!
You gotta see it, won’t you? Click here for “Weird Al” Yankovic’s latest video, “Do I Creep You Out”, created with the guys over at JibJab. It’s 100% pure Al goodness. The same way it’s been since before some of you were born. God, that’s a scary thought.
