According to Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana, a pickup truck crashed into one of Trace Adkins’ tour buses earlier this week, killing two people in the pickup truck. The country singer was not on board the bus at the time. None of his band members were thought to have suffered serious injuries but Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator said that he believed both men in the pickup were killed on impact. The truck crossed the center line and crashed into the bus. Sgt. Michael Gray says that they believe that the pickup was coming from a casino. A case of drunk driving perhaps?
Rihanna rocked the house when she recently performed her latest single ‘Rude Boy’ on Ellen. The 21-year old singer has been travelling all around the world promoting ‘Rated R’ and filled the Australian Associated Press in on what to expect from her in the coming year. The Barbadian beauty said “We’re actually going on tour in April. We start in Europe and then to the US and then we come back [to Australia] in October, when it’s going to be spring, so I’m really excited about that.” The question is whether she’d be having any sold out shows. Her music hasn’t really been all too exciting.
The new version of ‘We are the World’ finally debuted last week during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. And although everyone’s intentions to remake the song were good, the new song has gotten some mixed reviews, with many thinking that the original should have remained untouched. One of those is rapper Jay-Z who admitted “I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: ‘We Are the World,’ I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think ‘We Are the World’ is like [Michael Jackson's] ‘Thriller’ to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched. I’m a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but ‘We Are The World’ is [musically] untouchable like ‘Thriller’ is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable.” The critics agree and so do I.
