RIM and U2 announce tour partnership

U2's forthcoming tour, "U2 360 Degrees", will be sponsored by Research in Motion and its Blackberry smartphone range, it's been revealed.

The high profile tour is claimed to feature innovative tech in order to present audiences with a "360 degree" of the band doing their thing, hence the name.

Due to kick off on 30 June in Barcelona, U2 will visit 14 Euro-cities, including ones in the UK, before rocking their way to North America and beyond.

U2 Manager Paul McGuinness said in a press release that the partnership is a "shared vision" between the phone co and the band:

"This tour announcement marks the first stage of a relationship and shared vision between RIM and U2 that we expect will lead to new and innovative ways to enhance the mobile music experience on the BlackBerry platform for U2 fans. We look forward to sharing more details as the relationship unfolds".

U2 had previously enjoyed a close relationship with Apple with the band appearing on stage with Apple CEO Steve Jobs at press events in the past and creating a U2 special edition iPod.

Britney Spears' latest tour snafu

Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, has reportedly fired three of the pop star's dancers from her Circus tour after they failed a drug test. Last year, Brit's dad was given legal conservatorship over his daughter following her bizarre behavior and legal battles over custody of her two sons. This latest news seems to indicate that Poppa Spears is taking his role seriously, and is committed to making sure Brit isn't surrounded by negative influences. That also may bode well for Britney's climb back to superstardom. Which is not to say she's going to be scandal-free. On Sunday, Spears experienced an, ahem, wardrobe malfunction on stage in Tampa, Fla. No one seemed to notice until, not realizing her microphone was still on, Spears complained that her "p---- was hanging out." (And sadly, for all of us, not for the first time.)
But what do you think, PopWatchers? Can Britney regain the glory of her early days, or is she just destined to be tabloid fodder for the rest of her life?

The singer has signed up to dozens of concerts in a residency at the arena during June and July which could bank him up to £100 million. The announcement of the concert deal will be televised live on Thursday.

Negotiations between Jackson and AEG Live, the company that opened the O2 in 2007 with a 21-night residency by Prince, began more than a year ago. It will be the longest run of shows by one performer since the relaunch of the former Millennium Dome.

The concerts will be modelled on Las Vegas where Sir Elton John and Celine Dion have long-running residencies which were established by Frank Sinatra. He will not be playing any other concert venues which his management hope will lead to a huge demand for tickets. The residency will avoid the rigours of touring for a singer who has fragile health...
