Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop

Two of the most talked about stars from this year’s Video Music Awards may be coming your way soon.

Back in June, Kanye West told the ladies of The View that he was hitting the road with Lady Gaga. Now we know where the pair of publicity hounds will be visiting.

The Fame Kills tour will hit 34 cities beginning on November 10. The “Killer Show of the Year” will start in Phoenix and wind down in Dallas on January 24. Pre-sale tickets for a number of shows can be purchased by Kanye West fan club members starting on Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Lady Gaga Touring with Kanye West

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Dance, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop

Although I doubt Baba Wawa (a.k.a. Barbara Walters) has a clue who Lady Gaga is, she’ll probably figure it out soon enough.

Earlier today, Kanye West broke major touring news…to the ladies of The View. (It’s apparently the new TRL.) The rapper told the daytime audience that he’ll soon be performing with that other musical fashionista.

So will Gaga be opening for Kanye….or will he be the warm-up act for her? Neither. “She’s talented and she’s, um….she’s so incredible that she’s not an opening act. We’re doing our show together, with no opening act,” West teased. (So it’s basically the hipper version of the Elton John/Billy Joel tour?)

No other details about the upcoming tour have yet been announced.

Beyonce Covers Alanis Morissette

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Videos, Dance, R&B / Soul

During yesterday’s kickoff concert in in Edmonton, Alberta, Beyoncé (a.k.a. Sasha Fierce) paid tribute to her host country by honoring two famous Canadian artists.

While closing “If I Were a Boy,” Sasha Fierce segued into the gritty version of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” (In the video above, you can see how she skillfully avoided saying the “F” word.)

Later in the show, the newlywed donned a wedding gown and sang Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.” (You can view that clip after the jump.)

Here’s hoping she rocks out to Heart’s “Barracuda” when she crosses the border and stops in Seattle.
