Lifehouse, whose biggest hit was “Hanging On A Moment” has another hit on their hands “Halfway Gone” as their CD “Smoke & Mirrors” debuted at #6 on the Billboard charts.  That is the band’s highest debut ever and it could be debuting on Funkenberry Radio shortly.  It is up to you.

Lifehouse is currently set to take the road with Daughtry as the tour kicks off later this week. 

Lifehousemusic has the tour dates and more.  For now, enjoy the video for “Halfway Gone” and let me know what you think.-Dr.FB

Kevin Eubanks File Photo

Kevin Eubanks made it public yesterday that he is leaving “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno”….or did he?

There were reports that hit that Kevin would be leaving the show, then that he would be there March 1st when the show returns.  The reason?  After 18 years of being on the Tonight Show and about 15 years as being band leader, he is suddenly getting the itch to tour. 

Why does this seem fishy to me?  Max Weinburg of Conan O’Brien’s show was the band leader and also able to tour as the drummer of Bruce Springsteen’s band.  So if Kevin really wanted to tour, wouldn’t he just take a leave of absence and then return?

What this seems like to me is that perhaps someone is looking for a pay raise. 

If I am the Tonight Show producers, I give Kevin a raise.  It is too important right now to mess with anything on the Tonight Show.  There is so much on the line right now for Leno to gain the audience that Conan lost.   Kevin is more than Jay’s safety net when it comes to jokes, but he also appears in skits and when you think of Kevin, you think of the Tonight Show.  There are rumors if Kevin does leave, Darius Rucker of Hootie & The Blowfish will take his place.  Oh my.

So do you think if Kevin leaves the Tonight Show, will it mess up the shows chemistry?-Dr.FB

P.S., I still think this is a ploy for a pay raise.

This is the life.  Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon are in Italy for the 14th Annual Capri Hollywood International Film Festival.

Mariah looked great in her dress even with the feathery poofy things on her arms and Nick looked dapper and fresh in a nice suit.   This was the first time in weeks that they were not dressed alike and they still looked great.

Mariah’s Tour will kick off New Years Eve in New York City.-Dr.FB

Rihanna performed “Russian Roulette” on the UK’s X-Factor and announced she will be going on tour in 2010.

Here is her performance of the song. Do you like it?-Dr.FB

So much for the Farewell Tour.  Who am I kidding? I am GLAD he is touring again.

GeorgeMichael.com    just announced GM will be heading to Australia in Feb. 2010.  Here is the official announcement:

It’s confirmed! After months of rumour and speculation, legendary superstar GEORGE MICHAEL has officially announced that he will be performing live in Australia for the first time since 1988!

GEORGE MICHAEL will perform 2 special event stadium shows in Australia in February 2010: the first one in Perth at Members Equity Stadium on Saturday 20 February, before heading to Sydney to perform at the Sydney Football Stadium on Friday 26 February.

I am glad he is touring because George got soul and touring keeps him out of trouble! I don’t want to hear about any more hook-ups in the park, any car accidents or any drug arrests.

I am looking forward to his DVD release Live In London in December.  It’s a shame I found out it was playing in movie theatres after it sold out.

Have fun Australia! Unlike Britney Spears, his mic will be on!-Dr.FB

Lenny Kravitz File Photo

And this is why Jimmy Fallon is kicking booty. Lenny Kravitz is set to perform on Jimmy’s show Thursday night.

In addition, every Monday on LennyKravitz.com, fans can download wallpapers for their computers.  This on the heels of his residency at Irving Plaza, which is now the Fillmore East.

You know I tried to find out what song Lenny was doing for the show but couldn’t. Just make sure to watch Thursday night with Jimmy, the Roots, and LK burning up late night.-Dr.FB

The Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West & Lady Gaga is not happening. ALL SHOWS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.

Guess Kanye really did want to take time off and Lady Gaga defending him in recent days still could not sway him.

You can get full refunds for the tour where you purchased tickets.

I am sure Lady Gaga is pissed because she most likely had an outfit for each song. At least she won’t have to be worry about being interrupted by Kanye!-Dr.FB

Leonard Cohen fainted on stage four songs into his set on Friday night. It  is being reported he lost his balance and it is being blamed on food poisoning.

Leonard was giving the all clear yesterday to resume touring. I hope that it is not anything worse and wish Leonard success on the rest of his successful tour.-Dr.FB

Cranberries To Reunite. File Photo

90’s rock group The Cranberries are about to reunite and start a tour in the United States. They are back together since disbanding in 2003?

Why? Well, they are straight up about it; “cash, children, and cash.” They announced this news through NME in an interview.

What do you think? Is this a group you are glad to see back? Would you go see them?-Dr.FB
