Since the decision to turn Michael Jackson's 50-date This Is It tour into a tribute show, rumors have been swirling with performance hopefuls.

Reportedly, the show will feature Jackson's siblings and other artists using dance routines, sets and costumes created for Michael's concert at London's O2 arena.

No details have been confirmed, but the concern is that it would be impossible for a tribute show to play more than a few nights at the 23,000 seat venue.

"Fifty nights is absolutely out of the question," said music writer John Aizlewood. "Nobody in the Jackson family is capable of selling out the O2 for even one night, not even Janet.

Meow!

According to The Sun, ABBA is in talks to reunite - for a HUGE paycheck and to fill all those empty dates at the arena - despite the group's previous claims that they would never perform again!

Never say never!

We think no matter who is booked for the show, people will come from far and wide to pay tribute to Michael.

Limp Bizkit and the UFC seem like a match made in heaven, right? And on July 10th the pair were to join in trash and consummate their love with their first performance in eight years at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 100 weekend in Las Vegas.

But Bizkit got a little too choosey, and after their label and the UFC could not come to an agreement over DVD rights, they went their separate ways.

The show has just been cancelled.

And good riddance!

Rihanna's rumored boyfriend, Drake, just scored big with a record deal with Young Money and Universal Republic.

Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, is slated for a late 2009 release and features collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z.

Drake will be supporting Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy this summer on their Young Money Presents: Americas Most Wanted Music Festival tour.

The Selena Boutique in her hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, is now officially closing its doors forever, making for one less stop on the unofficial Selena tour.

Rumors had been circulating regarding the boutique's closing, but on Monday, the rumors became true.

Selena's father, Abe Quintanilla, had kept the boutique open 14 years after his daughter's death as a sign of respect since it was hers. The economy, as well as Q Productions' priorities led to its closing.

Items from the boutique, however, will be available at the Selena museum gift shop and others will be available on the Q Productions website.

The show must go on!

Michael Jackson's highly anticipated This Is It spectacular, planned for London's O2 Arena, will continue as a tribute show, MSNBC is reporting.

A-list performers are expected to appear, replicating what was planned for Michael's concerts.

It is rumored that Madonna will take the stage - as the legend was to make a surprise appearance during Michael's run at the O2 Arena.

According to a tour organizer, one performance will now be held in September, but a decision has not been made as to where the tribute show will take place. Though, most likely, it will be LA.

That will be quite amazing to see!

Well, if you were hoping for an album of new material from Brandon Flowers and the boys, don't hold your breath!

The Killers have announced that they have plans to release an album full of covers by the end of the year!

"It's something that we've always talked about doing and we're still talking about," Flowers shared with NME.

He lamented about the group's trouble with song selection: "It's difficult for each of us to pick songs that represent us as individuals. I mean, I have a lot of personalities myself! I've gone through everything from Neil Diamond to the Cars."

So what'll land on the album of covers?

Drummer Ronnie Vanucci revealed his personal front runners for the record: "Genesis, Tom Waits, a little Cyndi Lauper, Iggy Pop" as well as "messing around with a couple of Fleet Foxes songs."

What would U like to hear The Killers cover???

Lots of Queen of Pop info!!!!

Turns out that Madonna's final album with Warner Brothers is going to be called… Iconography.

We love it!

She's the ultimate icon, and it's an in-the-know thank you to her hardcore fans, like us.

The album is looking at a mid-September release.

The greatest hits collection will include three new tracks.

The big question is how her album will hold up against Whitney Houston's Undefeated and Mariah Carey's Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel, both of which are slated for September releases as well.

Battle of the divas!
