Adam Lambert & boyfriend Drake Labry attended Pink’s “Funhouse” tour which hit the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Y’ll feeling Drake’s shoes?
Adam’s CD will be dropping on November 24th and it is being reported by Rolling Stone that he wrote a song with American Idol judge Kara and it is entitled “Strut” and if it has any controversial value like Kara being on the show, it should be a hit. If not, it will be forgotten, kind of like that American Idol has a 4th judge.
I am not saying, I am just sayin’.-Dr.FB

First sign up here to be entered for tickets: http://www.staplescenter.com/memorial.php
Second, I am going to take from the press release so as there is no confusion.
Those who can’t get the precious tickets – 11,000 in the Staples Center and another 6,500 to watch on big screens at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live across the street – can watch a live worldwide television feed being provided free to networks or on streaming video on the Web.
Organizers are using a wristband system to crack down on scalpers.
“This is a memorial. I’m hoping that people have dignity. We’re doing our best to accommodate the worldwide demand,” said Tim Leiweke, president and CEO of AEG, which owns the Staples Center. “For those who would try to take advantage of this, shame on them.”
No details of the memorial were released, except that there will be no funeral procession. “It is still being developed,” said Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine. He added: “Everything about the memorial has to do with accommodating as many fans as possible. … It is all about the fans.”
Jan Perry, a Los Angeles city councilwoman, said fans who do not get tickets “might want to consider watching this from the comfort of your own home.” The ceremony will not be shown outside the venue on any of the jumbo screens.
The registration for tickets will end at 6 p.m. Saturday, when 8,750 names are drawn randomly for two tickets each to either the Staples Center or Nokia Theatre. Those getting tickets will be notified on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. with instructions on picking up tickets and wristbands.
3rd, TMZ is reporting you have to be a U.S. Resident.
4th, I cannot believe I am going to say this, but, good luck with the tickets.-Dr.FB

As we told you right here FIRST last month about 777 Chick Hearn Court, things were gonna be poppin in 2009 there.
Well, go to Prince’s new web site Lotusflow3r.com and enjoy some new songs like Chocolate box, and click on the ticket chillin on the other side of the tv screen. You will see a $77.00 ticket for January 31st for an event (perhaps the opening of the site with a charge of $77.00 or maybe a concert in L.A.? Only time will tell.)
Prince has been funkin’ it up with a plethora of great musicans and it should be on fire. Shoot, we hear things are so hot, he MAY not wait until January 31st to kick things off.
Much love and enjoy your chocolate box.-Dr.FB

John Mayer opened his acoustic charity show at the Nokia Theatre tonight performing “Little Red Corvette” by the one n only Prince. John is a huge, huge fan.
Nokia Theatre is a great place for an acoustic concert n sounds good streaming soundboard feed and if you go there RIGHT NOW, you can listen to the concert from start to finish, which means you would hear his version of Little Red Corvette!
Johnmayer.com It sounds really great right now.-Dr.FB
