For a guy that went to the prom stag, Josh Groban has come a long way. Even though he’s still single, that’s more a result of his hectic tour schedule than a lack of female admirers.

Tomorrow morning (Nov. 16) at 10 a.m. his newest release, “Awake,” will be the source of pre-sale codes for his 2007 tour. When you buy his CD at Target, a unique code is included and you can get tickets before they go on sale to the general public. It’s like a little window to Josh’s soul.

His latest release promises the same, as he was more hands-on this time around, writing and producing a number of songs on the 13-track album. It takes Josh to new places musically, with songs in Italian, Spanish and English. He collaborated with such legends as Herbie Hancock, Ladysmith Black Mambayo, Glen Ballard and even Dave Matthews.

For those of you looking for a light at the end of that family-filled Thanksgiving tunnel, Jay-Z has stepped up to the plate. Except that it's a light at the beginning of the tunnel, but whatever.

The rapper has promised a 17 hour, seven-city tour on Nov. 18. Yes, that's right, Jay-Z will be playing in airport hangers in Atlanta, Philly, D.C., Chicago, L.A., Vegas and New York in less than one day.

“The Jay-Z Hangar Tour” is a prequel to the Nov. 21 release of the Def Jams Records president’s “Kingdom Come.” Not too hard to do when you have your own private jet.

Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed King of Pop (even though young Justin Timberlake may be giving him a run for his money) will be performing at the World Music Awards next week.

Now, now, let’s be fair. He was acquitted of those nasty little child molestation charges last year, and this is his first performance since then. So in his defense, he has given us a break.

But no more. On November 15th, Jackson will recreate the graveyard sequence from his video for Thriller, harkening back to the days when it actually took makeup and special effects to make him look like a monster.

Bob Dylan can lend his music to almost anyone and ensure an instant hit. It’s worked for decades for artists across the board. But when he tried to take his music to Broadway, well, it just flopped.

The Times They Are A-Changin' opened October 26th, but it’s already slated to close November 19th. Short run you say? Check out this preview on The View and you’ll wonder how it ever opened in the first place: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2782467.

The general idea is that Dylan’s lyrics somehow tie into the “story” (or lack thereof) of a low-rent traveling circus and the lead character ‘Coyote’ who dreams of a better life. He tries to decide to flee the company business or to remain. A better song to use may have been The Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” And the word from audience members, he should go.

"Bar none, he's the best singer I've heard in rock n roll. He's also the greatest white soul singer." —Elton John on Rod Stewart.

In order to continue to live up to that title, Rod Stewart announced a 56-city tour of the US and Canada for next year to promote his newest album, “Still the Same … Great Rock Classics of Our Time.”

His fourth number one album, “Still the Same” debuted there after it’s release Oct. 10. The disc marks Stewart’s return to rock, after a string of covers: four “Great American Songbook” compilations. The third installment, “Stardust” even won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2005.

So when was the last time you saw Ticketmaster adjust their ticket pricing...to a lower price? Um, NEVER?

Kevin Federline has made history yet again, aside from the uproarious reaction of the country to his split from Britney Spears.

Because of an only 20 percent turn out to a recent New York show, Chicago's House of Blues is offering tickets to tonight's crap-rap performance for FREE!

That's right folks, tickets can be had for merely a surcharge, to an act that will most likely fizzle out before too long.

Continuing her efforts to support husband K-Fed's album release, Britney Spears has filed for divorce from the rapper.

Oh, wait, she married him to help his career. Uh, yeah. He’s screwed.

Not too many details out about what happened as of yet, but strangely, I think we can all guess for ourselves. Maybe she heard about all the tickets they cancelled for his shows around the country. Could be that when he embarrassed himself in the wrestling ring last week it was just the last straw. Or maybe his complete public mockery finally got to her.

Attention!! Tour spoilers! Plot revealing information follows!!

Details about Christina Aguilera’s upcoming Back to Basics tour have been released by TMZ…And they’re pretty naughty.

From stripper poles to whips, you knew she’d be out there to prove she’s “Still Dirrty,” and no matter what you’re thinking, she’s “Still got it.”

The report details that 22 songs will be performed. Similar to the way the album itself is divided, three sections will highlight the 1920s, Juke Joint sounds and Circus antics. Fifteen costume changes are promised, but from what it sounds like, there won’t be much time needed between changes, since there will be so little fabric.

Something happened to me the other night, I turned a new corner into unfamiliar territory. Something has shifted, as if the world has tilted on its axis and in so doing dropped me into a realm where I was able to see things in a new way: I finally “get” football.

Not that I understand the rules, not that I even know which team is doing what, or why they’re running. What I “get” is what the big deal is, why so many millions of fans spend their time in front of these games on television. Unless they just liked football to start with, my guess is they’ve been to a live game.

Not just any live game, an NFL game. And just going to the game is not enough. Sunday night’s New England Patriots against the Indianapolis Colts was my first NFL game, and second football game total. My first piece of advice to anyone trying to get a true feel for what all the hooplah is about, is to see it in person, and get there early.
