Oh no! This sounds pretty serious!
George Michael was forced to postpone two concerts in Wales this week after being hospitalized with pneumonia, and apparently, he'll now have to cancel the remainder of his Symphonica European tour as he recovers!

Sad.
According to George Michael's website, the singer will be postponing his upcoming concerts because he's fallen ill with pneumonia.
Here's what George's team had to say about it in a statement:
"With great regret, George Michael has been forced to postpone his November 26 and 27 shows in Cardiff, Wales, due to his ongoing illness."
"George was recently forced to postpone tour dates in Vienna and Strasbourg under doctor's orders after being diagnosed with pneumonia. He is currently receiving treatment."
We're sorry to hear it, George, but we're sending U all of our best recovery vibes!
Get well soon!

At first glance, we weren't so keen on this idea. Then we realized its been ages since JT has released a new single, so we changed our minds!
Over the weekend, Justin Timberlake was in London and he caught George Michael's show at London's Royal Albert Hall. Actually, Justin was specially invited to the performance along with Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell and was seated in the front row to enjoy the show.

Could Elton John get any better???
Elton, along with George Michael, will help launch a new gay rights group in the UK tomorrow!
The amazing singers are supporting Kaleidoscope which was created to help with the rising number of attacks on sexual minorities in developing countries.
The group aims to stop homophobic violence and the organization’s launch will take place at the House of Commons in London tomorrow, with both Elton and Michael in attendance.
The UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, adds:

We knew it!!
Rumors had been swirling that George Michael broke up with his longtime boyfriend Kenny Goss. However, George had vehemently denied their split time and time again.
Until now…
During his opening night of his Symphonica tour at the Prague State Opera House, George told his audience that "Kenny and I haven't been together for two and a half years." He added:

This is the kind of news we like to hear!
Elton John and George Michael have ended their 7-year feud that started in 2004 when Elton said that George was "in a strange place."
The two have barely spoken since, until just this week at Elton's AIDS fundraiser White Tie and Tiara Ball, the two musicians performed live together.
George joined Elton on stage for Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - the song they performed live together at Live Aid in 1985.
"Everyone went mad. It was a special moment," said one guest.
We're so glad you two blokes can let bygones be bygones. The past is the past and we much rather see you be friends then enemies!

Oh man! We feel like it really takes a lot to get on her bad side. You really effed up, G!
Last night, Alicia Keys hosted her annual Black Ball charity gala that helps raise money for orphaned children in Africa and India that are fighting HIV/AIDS. George Michael was poised to perform at the function, but at the last minute, bailed because of a toothache.
Alicia was not amused. She took to her Twitter shortly after the event ended for the evening, saying:

If you truly feel that way, George Michael, then you definitely came to the conclusion soon enough that you'll now be able to be a positive influence — and to help a lot of gay youth from now on!
He's been gearing up for a massive new tour, regardless if he had a "farewell" tour a few years ago, because he feels he was meant to sing. Not only that, but he'll be using it as a way to help those he feels he has let down through his actions:
‘I have a serious problem with the fact that every time I made a mistake and everytime I let myself down that I was letting young gay kids down. Because they would then witness the homophobia that was thrown me and the language that we use in this country.
I like to think that life is a balance whenever there is something bad, there is something good you can do with it. I have some plans to do things to help gay children. I think we are notoriously bad as a community at helping our own when it comes to children, because we don’t have our own children.
There are things I want to do with my next album to make up for the damage that I have inadvertently caused by making myself so newsworthy and putting myself on the back foot enough that I couldn’t defend gay children from some of that language.’
That's so great, GM! We're so happy and inspired that you would take charge of how you're going to handle and help out the gay community!
It's never too late, guys, to change if you have major moral issues with yourself! You'll always have the support you need and deserve!
We'd love to see your show, GM, and are glad you're back!

Maleficent!
At least, we think it is! Almost positive, actually!
Angelina Jolie was at the Berlin International Film Festival today, where she is screening her directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood and Honey out of competition, when she announced that the long-rumored project was next up for her - even though she didn't specifically call it by name!
She explains:
"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this . The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie. The best thing to find that balance is to do something that is just for children. You know, you find different ways to make things matter. When, for example, you do fun action movies, they are empowering for my daughters."
And since we've gotten word that the Luc Besson movie she had been eyeing seems to have stalled, and Maleficent recently got Robert Stromberg as a director, we think it's safe to say that the Linda Woolverton-written adaptation of the classic fairy tale is definitely where we'll see her next!
So, so cool!
Gurl is going to ROCK this! Don't U think?
