Led Zeppelin is back with a bang. Their first live performance after 19 long years has left 20,000 audience speechless.

The concert which was dubbed as ‘rock’s biggest reunion‘ by other stars left the audience unsatiated and asking for more. Some of the concertgoers described the event as unforgettable experience and a monumental event, that they are proud to be attached with. Indeed, the audience tasted that electrifying experience of early 70’s as founder members Jimmy Page, Plant and John Paul Jones and band’s late drummer John Bonham’s son Jason Bonham continued their scintillating performance.

An array of former rockers was noticed as Noel Gallagher of Oasis, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters enjoyed the show.

However, the reunion kept the world guessing if the band will embark on a world tour. It makes ‘Led Zep'’, the member of that elite group of reunion which has The Police, Eagles and Who as some of the prominent members.

For those of you who missed the announcement before the world’s media at the 02 Arena in London (formerly the Millenium Dome) in June, here is news. They are back with bang-bang-bang. And lots of spice too! Yeah! The Spice Girls are back! The whole bunch– Victoria, Emma, Mel B, Mel C and Geri.

The concert at Vancouver kick-started their reunion world tour and coincided with the group’s Greatest Hits album. Spice girls fans, it’s time to rejoice. The Spice Girls would perform for the first time since 1998 in the Canadian gig. Hopefully, they would be able to pick up from where they left off-at Birmingham shortly before Geri Halliwell’s departure from the band.

In a final dress rehearsal meant only for family, friends and select members of the press, the girls swirled in co-ordinating copper-coloured Roberto Cavalli outfits, singing Spice Up Your Life and Stop and Say You’ll Be There in perfect tune. Mel C cautiously warned the audience of possible ‘wardrobe malfunctions’.

The girls, contrary to media reports, seemed delightfully pally-pally. They announced that they were glad to be back and hugged each other after the performance. New mom, Emma, looked the happiest.

They are all set to perform a 22-song set, with the show lasting around two hours and including multiple costume changes, with spectacular video sequences and a stunning split-level stage thrown in.

In their peak form ,the Spice Girls sold 55 million albums and had nine UK number one singles. Even after a decade, the Spice Girls haven’t lost their craze. What better proof of the fact than all 15,800 seats in the 02 Arena, where they will perform on 15th December, having been sold out? They even had to add and reschedule some shows in response to public demand. The tickets in the UK concerts sold out in 38 seconds flat.

In the coming months, the five have plans to put stages in cities across the world, from London to Cape Town, as well as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, San Jose, Shanghai, Madrid and Beijing, on fire with their scintillating performance.

A minor stumbling block came in the form of a fake e-mail saying that the Spice Girls group were having to pull out of their gig in Buenos Aires in Argentina in January due to the level of demand in Britain and the US. The girls, however, confirmed that the dates have just been postponed, not canceled.

Rap artist DeAndre Cortez Way, who performs under the stage name Soulja Boy, is facing probable legal hassles after being sued by another comparatively less known rapper, Willie Lyons. The latter has to say that he had already used the stage name ‘Souljah Boy’ before Cortez Way.

The matter first came under the media glare when gossip blogger Perez Hilton was sent a letter by the legal representative of Willie Lyons. The letter mentioned that Lyons has already been using the pseudonym ‘Souljah Boy’ for more than 12 years. The entire letter, received by Hilton, says,

I am writing on behalf of the law firm of Alexander, Odunze & Kang LLP to give you a heads up re: the attached complaint, which was filed in federal court this afternoon on behalf of Willie Lyons p/k/a Souljah Boy. By way of background (and as you may already know), Mr. Lyons, known in commerce as Souljah Boy for over twelve years, is suing artist Soulja Boy (birth name: DeAndre Way), his record label, attorney & manager in connection with his blatant infringement of Mr. Lyons’ trademark.

There has been no response thus far to this allegation from Soulja Boy or his representatives. The singer has lately been kept busy with the shooting of a music video for his third single ‘Yahhh!’ (featuring Arab) with Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini as the director.

Soulja Boy’s case is another evidence of the complicacies that the usage of stage names can pose for the celebrities who are actually using them.

Now that’s what I call spirit. Look at Kylie. She came down with breast cancer. That would have put an end to most peoples’ spirits, if not lives. Not for Kylie. She bounced back from it. And not only that, she is as gorgeous and as scintillating in her performance as ever.

She proved it beyond doubt in her latest performance. The audience went ga-ga over her sexy black fishnets, raunchy platform ankle boots and a tight-fitting black plunge-neck top and her very striking blonde bob which completely transformed her looks, even before she started on songs from her latest album X, which reached number four in the album charts when it was released last month. And when she did, she was breathtaking.

Even at her age, she can make the teeny boppers drown in shame. What better proof of the fact than The Clothes Show revealing 31 per cent of viewers regarded her as a style icon.

She was her charming self at the Austrian chat show ‘Wetten Das...?’ in which her bonding with fellow celebrity Renee Zellweger was delightful for the eyes.

Way to go, Kylie!

What more can fans of a band ask for as a surprise, especially when their favorite group sprung in a surprising unplanned act. Stars of U2, the famous rock band, Bono and The Edge showed up at the London charity concert without prior intimation and what’s more the fans were treated with impromptu warm-up act.

The concert was for Mencap, a charity that campaigns for equal rights for children and adults with learning disabilities. The unsought of act by members of U2 delighted the 250 people who were a part of the concert, attending to raise funds for the organization.

Commenting on this surprise performance Bono said,

Don’t tell Larry (Mullen) and Adam (Clayton) we’ve done this.

Performing at the London’s Union Chapel where the concert was staged, Bono and The Edge performed for Biffy Clyro, a Scottish rock group and played four of their songs ‘Stay,’ ‘Desire,’ ‘Angel Of Harlem’ and ‘Wave Of Sorrow,’ a track written for their 1987 album ‘Joshua Tree.’

This surprise concert shocked the audience to no extent. A 20 year old lad who was one of the attendee commented that his battery almost conked off because of the number of pictures he took of the duo who made their presence felt on stage. This seems more true a charity concert than the ones where stars are paid to sing.

Something unasked for like Bono and The Edge’s surprise performance surely seems to show how true to music the group is. Their warm-up act definitely cheered the crowd and drove them completely crazy. This is obvious when an international band like U2 spring surprises which no one can even imagine.

It seems ‘Stripped’ singer Christina Aguilera is all set to deliver three babies at one go! The fact that she is carrying more than one baby can’t be ruled out as her baby bulge and mama bosom is getting heavier and expanding at an extremely very fast speed, something that does not happen if one is carrying a single baby.

Earlier Aguilera described embracing motherhood as one of the happiest moment of her life, but still it took several months for soon-to-be mom, to accept and confirm her pregnancy with hubby Jordan Bratman. In fact she admitted herself to be ‘expecting’ when it physically became impossible to hide her enlarging body.

She with Bratman had a baby shower this weekend that was attended by celeb-friends and family. On knowing that the couple had a blue theme for the party, I’m well convinced that they are going to have a son ...or sons? But in the ’sons’ case we will have to wait till the babies finally arrive.

I congratulate and wish god times to the future parents.
