Madonna Will Kick Off Her 2012-2013 World Tour in Israel with Some 30,000 Tickets

Where: Israel
February 8, 2012 at 2:53 PM | by | Comments (0)

The last time Madonna performed in Israel was in 2009, when she held two concerts as part of her record-shattering Sticky & Sweet tour. This time the newly-rechristianed Queen of Pop is not just holding any old concert in Israel, but using the event to kick off her entire 2012 world tour.

The Israelis are, needless to say, pretty excited. They're not as excited as Perez Hilton—who brought out lots and lots of exclamation points for the announcement—but they are still pretty excited.

The world tour will kick off on May 29th in the Israeli city of Ramat Gan and stretch all the way into 2013. After Israel Madonna will travel to a couple other Middle East venues before departing for Europe, where she'll do 26 additional spots over the course of two months. From there it's off to North America to do yet another set of 26 venues, then to Latin America, then to Australia. Before everything is said and done she will have played 90 concerts.

Last night it seemed of all of Hollywood was roaming around The Beverly Hilton, where both The Golden Globes, and most of the show's after-parties, were held.

January 16, 2012 at 9:40 AM | by | Comments (0)

Qantas is starting the new year off by pulling some cash from their advertising and marketing budget, as they’re adding a new celebrity representative to the team. Of course they already love having John Travolta around their hangars, but their latest addition brings a true Aussie to the team.

Miranda Kerr has been tasked with representing Qantas at home and abroad as the airline’s newest ambassador, and we’ve got to say she’s just a little bit cuter—sorry John! Qantas even threw a celeb-filled shindig last week to officially introduce their newest member of the team.

Right now Carrie Brownstein is on tour with Fred Armisen promoting their IFC series Portlandia. But, if you were hoping to catch Portlandia - The Tour this month, you're out of luck.

Somebody Get Blue Ivy a Passport Already

January 9, 2012 at 4:24 PM | by | Comments (0)

C'mon—you knew this was going to happen. Beyonce and Jay-Z made a baby and this baby—Blue Ivy (like a superhero or something)—is about to become the world's hottest celebrity travelers. Why do we say this? Well, simply because traveling celebrity kids are a thing and, not only that, but the tabloids love a traveling A-list family, as evidenced by years and years of a barrage of articles on where the Jolie-Pitt clan are jetting off to.

Even better—this is going to be a cute little baby who'll turn into a cute little girl, who'll turn into a sassy teenager who knows more about St. Barts and private yachts and Gulfstream jets than most billionaires, because she's going to be raised amidst the best of all that, with parents who each must jet set in luxury as part of their jobs. Wow. Have we ever been more jealous of a helpless infant than we are right now?

And before we could even get this meager little story out, the frickin' LA Times had already coughed up a list of places that baby Blue Ivy needs to visit, such as the famous Blue Hole of Belize. We rest our case.

Alec Baldwin Rejoins Twitter During a Cushy Weekend in Turks and Caicos

January 9, 2012 at 10:13 AM | by | Comments (0)

He's baaack! Alec Baldwin mysteriously rejoined Twitter this weekend following his breakdown a month ago when an American Airlines flight attendant had him removed from a plane for refusing to stop playing the iPhone game "Words With Friends." Alec did eventually catch another AA flight from the west coast to NYC, but not before firing off some hurtful tweets towards the airline. And then he disappeared, deleting his Twitter account completely, or so we thought.

Just like it never happened, @alecbaldwin has been reinstated, complete with his original follower count and "verified" status. Although there have been no more invectives against American Airlines, we know the real reason Alec re-joined: publicity, of course.

Alec is an actor with upcoming projects to promote, not the least of which is this Thursday's premiere of Season 6 of NBC's 30 Rock. It's even been confirmed that Alec would show again if the series renews its contract for a seventh season. And, last but certainly not least, it's obvious that Alec loves to hear himself talk and enjoys the little extra bits of publicity his tweets create—kind of like this.

Of course he couldn't re-start his Twitter game without bragging about some travel; Alec just returned from a romantic departure to Turks & Caicos with his girlfriend, Hilaria Thomas, where they tweeted about a plane delay and the small size of the departure lounge. Boo hoo.

January 2, 2012 at 1:40 PM | by | Comments (0)

This year, New Year's Eve was about banding together for celebrities.

Maybe the most unlikely celeb pairing of the weekend was Gwyneth Paltrow and Courtney Love, who partied together in Abu Dhabi on NYE. Over the weekend Courtney tweeted, “getting the best [advice] for the new years from a true friend, love you @GwynethPaltrow @Goop xoxo.” Later Gwyneth added, “Happy New Year everyone from Abu Dhabi! Hoping 2012 is your best year ever.”

On the other side of the world, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and their L.A. neighbor Jimmy Kimmel—who was with his girlfriend Molly McNearney—spent New Year's Eve in Kauai, Hawaii. The couples were spotted hitting the surf together in wetsuits on Saturday.
