Rock Icon 48 years old, now he explain, "We could have sold out Wembley Stadium no problem but Hyde Park is right out the back door of the hotel I stay at in London. The traffic of getting to Wembley from central London I've done enough times. I like to walk across the park, it's that simple!"
References Bon Jovi as Saying, "I've always toyed with the idea of playing there. If they don't have another old timer like me, I'd love to go out and see it and perhaps do a set."
Bon Jovi to perform Glastonbury? that would be a simple but interesting and very difficult for the travel-shy rokers.

Is Beyonce's decision to concieve a baby
BEYONCE talks about her decision to take time off from her busy schedule as a pop princess, actress and fashion icon.
The woman has managed to keep her actual persona private despite revealing her true physical self, including the 2008 creation of on stage alter ego Sasha Fierce.
"I don’t required Sasha so much any more because these days I know who I am. It takes time to figure out who you are and I am still discovering different things about myself as I am exposed to different experiences I think, 'Oh, I like this, I didn’t know I liked this.'
"That’s so exciting that the journey of life. More and more I know who I am, I know what I like, I know what I want and that makes me feel so free. I don’t required to hide any more,’ she told The Mail on Sunday newspaper in the UK.
The size zero trend Beyonce bucked so often seen in the entertainment industry and championed a move towards "bootylicious" (a word that has, much to her amusement, now slipped into the dictionary). For young girls she is a positive role models not just because of her own body but also because of the strong, independent female messages of her lyrics.
"I think I am a feminist in a way. It’s not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it’s because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships. My friendships with my girls are just so much a part of me that there are things I am never going to do that would upset that bond. I never want to betray that friendship because I love being a woman and I love being a friend to other women.
"I think we learn a lot from our female friends female friendship is very, very important. It’s good to support each other and I do try to put that message in my music,’ she says (she talks quickly, perhaps a little nervously) with a smile.
"For me, balance is always really hard to find. I love so many different things, and to have the discipline to turn certain things away and focus on one thing at a time so that I can give it 100 per cent is actually hard. In my life likely the biggest challenge is time - making sure I have time to be a wife, to be a singer, to be a songwriter, to be an actor and still have time for my clothing line and now for my perfume. I am like any other woman who has a child, who has a husband (Jay-Z), who has a job. I think it’s the hardest thing about being a woman because we have so many responsibilities.’
Will that balance be further challenged by a baby - a question banned by her minders
"My ambition is to continue to learn about the world and to eventually have a family," she said with a shy smile.
When pressed (she is jokingly asked for times and dates), she laughs out loud and says that there are "no dates, no times - it will happen when I am ready".
Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, she is not, she says, particularly vain. Beauty, she insists, is about more than just external looks.
She says, "I think a beautiful woman is someone who is confident but not competitive with other women - someone who is warm to everyone. Because my mother told me ever since I can remember that beauty is from with in, that looks will fade, I have always been aware that you have to have something deeper to be actually beautiful".

Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus are comparing
In the music industry to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are both teenage solo artists. They both have a similar style of music, with a mix of country to Miley's is more of pop, Taylor swift keeps it straight country for the most part, in the mix with a few pop songs. Miley's fame is directly attributed to the Disney channel, where she first became popular off of the show Hannah Mantona, a show about a teenage pop star that leads a double life. This gave Miley Cyrus an a huge platform to start her solo music career off of.
Taylor Swift however has no affiliation with Disney, and had to work much harder to get her musical career started than Miley Cyrus did. Taylor Swift has been signed and dropped before recording her first single "Tim McGraw". She then released her self titled album on which 'Should've said no' was a big success.
Miley Cyrus's music is generally geared more towards younger kids and tween audiences. This is largely due to the fact that Miley's career started on the Disney, and her first few albums were under the pseudonym Hannah Mantona. Miley Cyrus's music is also not as relate able to many many people as Taylor Swift's music. This is because Miley's first albums mainly focused on her leading a double life as the Hannah Montana character, something that not many teenagers can relate to.
Taylor Swift's music however has a much larger audience, if not in numbers than in age groups. The main reason for this is Taylor Swift's song content matter. Many of Taylor Swift's songs focus on topics that teenage girls go through in their everyday life, such as being overlooked as "just a friend" to the guy they like. Many college girls who buy Swift's Cd's say it is because of just that, they can relate to the songs.
Miley is working on leaving her Disney past behind quite clearly, her music is becoming more focused on adult subject matter. Even her stage performance are becoming increasingly adult, and possibly even too adult. In an effort to leave behind her Disney days she is becoming increasingly like pop stars before her. Miley is showing many of the same qualities that Britney showed when she was transitioning in to adulthood, with songs like "Can't be tamed" where she is clearly trying to break free from the mold that was created for her.
While a lot in common to Miley and Taylor, it is clear that they are two separate artists with two separate styles of music, and different demographics. Taylor Swift has a strong foot in the country music industry, but Miley Cyrus's ability to leave behind her Disney days will finally decide if she will remain a force in the pop music industry.

World Ticket Shop: Katsidis fires warning to Amir Khan
Both Katsidis and Khan were in Las Vegas as Marquez saw off the challenge of Juan Diaz to retain his WBO lightweight title and as the mandatory challenger, Katsidis feels he has the right to take on Marquez, and not Khan.
The WBO have now ordered Marquez to fight Katsidis in his next bout, and although Khan still stands a opportunity of taking on the veteran Mexican, Katsidis is adamant he will be the one who gets to fight Marquez.
"I have remained available to honour my commitment with the WBO and am very pleased to look why the WBO remains the most prestigious of boxing's organizations," said Katsidis. "The time has come for me to face the very elite of the sport, giving boxing fans worldwide one of the greatest fights it will ever look, and as such is the reward of my team's effort."
British boxing fans will be well aware of Katsidis' ability after the 29-year-old from the small town of Toowoomba, Queensland, secured a very impressive third round victory over Kevin Mitchell at Upton Park. Katsidis has told Amir Khan to forget about Marquez as he has won the right to take on the WBO lightweight champion, who is ranked the number three pound-for-pound fighter by Ring Magazine.
He added: "I see recently Amir Khan was observing closely the Diaz, Marquez clash. Marquez is mine, or else he is another conversation we should continue back in England. I've been there before, happy to do it again."
Amir Khan is scheduled to fight again on December 11, although the Bolton boxer is still searching for an opponent and it is looking increasingly likely he will have to forget about Marquez (keep an eye on stanjames.com for odds on Khan's next showdown). Marquez has stated his preference would be a third showdown with Manny Pacquiao but would be willing to take on Katsidis.

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler: Talks With American Idol Execs
Tyler, 62, on the US talent gig is rumoured to be one of the new judges, alongside singer Jennifer Lopez, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
On a US radio gig asked about the reports, Tyler confirmed that executives on the Fox gig have contacted him.
On Kidd Kraddick's radio show he said: "Well, you know, this beautiful girl from Fox came up to me and made an offer."
He added: "It's a work in progress, it's just one of those things. They mentioned it and I listened and… we're on tour, so I've got to give it some time.
Asked what kind of judge he would be like if he were to take the job, he said: "I would be honest to the ones that think they have it, and I would be truthful and sensitive to those who haven't."

Lady Gaga is known for her skimpy outfits
"I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they're going to take my creativity through my vagina," the performer said in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine that was released on Monday. Lady Gaga is not the only pop star to laud the value of abstinence, but she may be among the first to tout it as a boost to creativity. Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and American Idol-winner Jordin Sparks have all worn "promise rings" to symbolize a pledge of chastity until marriage.
Even Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, has become the face of an abstinence campaign after she became pregnant at the age of 16 and gave birth to a son.
Lady Gaga is on the cover of the September issue of Vanity Fair. A photo spread of the "Poker Face" singer clad in little other than a rhinestone choker, accompanies the interview. Gaga also speaks about drug use and family.

World Ticket Shop: Miley Cyrus eager to bid Hannah Montana goodbye
The Disney folks would have to look for someone else for their lead character anyway if they had any plans to continue with the show.
Miley Cyrus is going through an image overhaul period for one thing, which she and her handlers think will be more profitable for her as a singer and an actor. Another thing is Miley has grown too old anyway for the part.
Currently she expressed her disinterest about continuing with the role anymore, too.
“I’ve never faked it, saying that I’m always going to be Hannah forever,” Cyrus, 17, told Toronto Sun. “I’m going to grow up at some point. I’ve been always honest about that.
She says that she is at it since she was 11 and it is high time she called it quits.
“I think it’s the right time (to end Hannah Montana) because we’ve been working since I was, you know, about 11,” Cyrus told. “That’s when I did my first audition.
The actress is recently busy shooting her new movie LOL: Laughing Out Loud which stars Ashley Greene and Demi Moore beside her.
Michael Jackson Release New Songs Set
Rolling Stone also said that this release would be the first among many and was part of a large scale deal between Jackson’s estate and Sony Music, involving the release of new material as well as the re-issue of classic albums; the deal was seemly worth $250 million. The deal is expected to play out over the next 7 years, and involve 10 projects in total; it was not revealed exactly how many of these projects would be comprised of previously unreleased material and how many would be re-issues.
It was also reported that there would be greatest hits packages as well as DVD collections involved in the upcoming releases.

Katy Perry wants Morrissey sing at my wedding
The couple want the former Smiths frontman on their big day to perform, even though the Girlfriend In A Coma singer has warned them off marriage.
The Californian Gurls singer told Q magazine: 'It's going to be a small ceremony, so I don't think we'll have a proper band I'd love to have Morrissey.
'I met him for the first time the other day and we had tea together.'
She added: 'He's Russell's mate and he is fascinating, but he was giving us a hard time over getting married.
'He swooned and sighed 'Oh left hand, third finger, don't do it'. It was just so eloquent and poetic and like one of his songs.'
But the 25 year old also admitted that she worries the famous singer might ruin their big day if he does perform.
She said: 'It would be great to have him at the ceremony, but he's not exactly entering into the spirit.
'I said, 'We can't have a Mr Misery like you messing things up.''

Launch Teen Website Jonas Brother
Brothers Kevin, Joe and Nick have teamed up with bosses at AOL and launched Cambio.com on Tuesday (27Jul10).
The site relies heavily on content featuring the trio and other pop acts including Demi Lovato and the Wonder Girls.
A spokesperson for AOL tells Variety, "We have tons of content in development, reality and scripted. We're treating it less like an online portal and more like a network focused on teens and young adults."
Celebrity websites have become a trend in recent months. Earlier this year (10), Alicia Keys launched her female empowerment website IAAS.com (I Am A Super Woman), while hip hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs went live with DiddyBlog.com last month (Jun10), to promote and publish positive news.
Teri Hatcher and Gwyneth Paltrow also have their own lifestyle websites, GetHatched.com and Goop.com respectively, which offer hints and tips to readers.

Elton John and Justin Timberlake "American Idol" targets
But, hell, why not have all of them? That's what would happen if it were up to Nigel Lythgoe, former producer of the U.K. version of "Idol" and recent producer of "So You Think You Can Dance?". And he might soon have the power to do so. It's being reported that Lythgoe is close to taking the reins at the U.S. "Idol," and he has stated that, if things went his way, he'd ax the entire panel for fresh blood.
Such a drastic course of action, however, may prove to be difficult. Randy Jackon will probably stay onboard with only one year left on his contract. Ellen DeGeneres, who underwhelmed critics last season, will be hard to boot with her multi year deal, which she says she will fulfill. So that leaves Paula Abdul's replacement, Kara DioGuardi, on the outside looking in. Her contract is only year-to-year, which means she's probably a goner if Lythgoe takes the "Idol" reigns.
Either way, without Cowell there to make contestants cry, "American Idol" will be much different in its 10th season.

Cheryl Cole set return to X Factor
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Cheryl loves the show and is desperate to get back to work. She's under doctors' orders to that it easy. But it's a big step that she's back on board."
The 27 year old beauty was forced to take a break from the auditions and the bootcamp stages of the show after falling ill with the tropical disease during a holiday in Tanzania with her pal Derek Hough.
Despite spending a week in intensive care, Cheryl is set to make a return to the elimination stage at the Judges Houses next month.
A friend said: "She has put all her energy into getting better and it's paid off. Simon has told her he can't wait to have her back."
Meanwhile, police were called to the hotel where the 'X Factor' hopefuls are staying after their celebrations at getting through to the bootcamp stage of the show were apparently taken too far.
Bosses on the show have had to pay out for damaged property after contestants destroyed the Premiere Inn hotel in Wembley, North West London.
An 'X Factor' spokesperson told The Sun newspaper: "We have spoken to the individuals concerned, who have apologised for their behaviour."
It has also been reported the groups have changed, with the over 25s category being replaced by the over 28s instead.

Miley seldom says no to signing things for her fans, but prefers not to be bothered when she is trying to eat. However, after the chef made her the classic dish particularly, she had no qualms about autographing some napkins when he asked.
“Miley told the waiter she wanted dinner, not eggs, even though it was a breakfast date,” a source explained. “He asked the cook who said sure, but she’d have to sign an autograph for his daughter.”
After offering her signature for the young girl, Miley designed a special present for the cook. She penned her name with a love heart and the words ‘Thank You’ on a napkin to show her appreciation.

The pregnant songstress has revealed that she has dumped her manager Jeff Robinson and insiders say it was Swizz who persuaded her.
'Swizz definitely played a huge part in killing him off,' an industry insider told Page Six.
Robinson had been charging the pop star a 25% commission for some time. When she was an undiscovered, he was paid even more, up to 33%, Page Six's source insists.
'She got smart and got a smart boyfriend after years of people around her telling her she was crazy to let this continue to happen,' the source added.
The official announcement states: 'Keys and Robinson have mutually and amicably agreed to pursue other opportunities. This decision will allow Alicia (and her company, AK Worldwide) more control over all aspects of her career.'

Stereophonics: Back Stuart Cable Memorial Single
His former bandmate Stereophonics, Kelly Jones, is among many lending their support to the single. Jones said: “Myself, Richard and the boys would like everyone to join us in supporting Killing For Company’s charity single, ‘Former Mining Town.’ Stuart was our lifelong friend and brother; he will be sadly missed. Let’s give him and his boys a final shout, and also to Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity we have supported for 10 years with Roger Daltrey. Thank you. Long live rock ’n’ roll.”

Lady GaGa demands to celebrity favourite drink on UK tour
But rather than getting plastered every night, we hear she's joined a celeb craze for diet drink Neuro Trim.
The newly thin Kelly Osbourne, Kate Hudson and Cindy Crawford have already been snapped, bottle in hand.
Not that they want to lose weight... We're told: "All these sexy American women have been knocking it back.
"It apparently contains a magical Japanese ingredient which curbs the appetite. GaGa is a convert.
"Her rider is just this Neuro stuff, teabags and fresh veg." We'd rather have burgers and beer!

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts is new TV show judge
The singer will appear as a guest panellist on Britain's Next Top Model on Living next week.
Meanwhile, Cole has been forced to miss some of her judging duties on The X Factor as she fights her way back to health after being struck with malaria.
Roberts will appear alongside presenter Elle Macpherson to mentor the modelling hopefuls.
She will be seen guiding them through a photo shoot for children's charity Beatbullying.
Roberts tells the contestants: "The most important thing is that you're able to put as much emotion into your photograph as possible, because I think that the photographs will actually help thousands of young people in the UK."
The wannabes take part in a demanding shoot demonstrating the effects that bullying can have.
Roberts will then sit on the panel to determine who will leave the competition.
Like Cole, Roberts already has first hand experience of being a reality show contestant, having hit the big time by winning a place in Girls Aloud on Popstars: The Rivals. Since then she has launched her own cosmetics line.
Britain's Next Top Model sees 14 hopefuls battling it out to earn a contract with top agency Models 1.

U2, AC/DC, Beyonce are top music earners
U2's 360 Tour pushed the Irish band over the top, bringing the group $130 million from June 2009 to June 2010. AC/DC, also on tour during that time period, netted $115 million, and Beyonce scored $88 million, Forbes said.
Beyonce's husband, rapper Jay-Z, appeared at No. 6 on the list with $63 million. Other top earners were Bruce Springsteen ($70 million), Britney Spears ($64 million), Lady Gaga ($62 million) and Madonna ($58 million).
"It's definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries," Beyonce told USA Today. "I'd like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I just need to live life, to be inspired by things again."

Amy Winehouse says that new album due by 2011
"The album will be six months at the most," she told the U.K.'s Metro news daily on Tuesday night, while attending the London premiere of the film Psychosis, by her new boyfriend, writer director Reg Traviss.
"It's going to be very much the same as my second album, where there's a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are just jukebox, really … I just can't wait to have new songs on stage."
Winehouse's second album, 2006's retro styled Back in Black, was an international sensation that garnered the singer a raft of awards, including a hefty five trophies at the 2008 Grammy Awards (for best new artist, best pop vocal album and record of the year, song of the year and best solo female vocal performance for the infectious single Rehab).
She turned in her Grammy performance via satellite from London, after her U.S. visa request was denied.
Even as her star was rising with the release of Back in Black, her personal life was spiralling into chaos with erratic behaviour, multiple stints at drug rehabilitation clinics, shambolic performances, assault lawsuits and a turbulent, short lived marriage.
Surprise guest
The singer's declaration of a forthcoming new release is dramatically different from the most current update from her producer, Mark Ronson, who also produced Back in Black.
The British hitmaker told reporters that Winehouse "hasn't begun working on her next record yet" following a performance at London's 100 Club last week to launch his new band, The Business Intl.
"When she's got 10 songs, we'll go down to the studio together," he said.
Winehouse, who had turned up as a surprise guest at Ronson's gig, joined him onstage for Valerie, the track she sang on his previous album Versions.
However, the performance was rocky, with Winehouse appearing to forget the lyrics. She later said that she had been unsure which version of the song they were to be performing.
Island, her record label, had said last fall that a new record would be forthcoming in 2010.
