Toni Braxton went to the hospital in early April due to some health issues which put a then temporary damper on her string of shows in Vegas. Now, the singer’s chest pains have put a definite end to it. Toni has decided to not continue with her Vegas show so she can focus on getting back to 100% health. The show ‘Toni Braxton: Revealed’ has been playing at the Flamingo for two years and was only put on hold during her hospitalization. I hope Toni gets better soon and it’s not like the pericarditis, a viral inflammation of the heart, that she was treated for in the past.

Heidi Montag celebrated her 21st birthday on Saturday night by performing her new single ‘Higher’ during her party at LAX nightclub at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. If you recall, that’s the same day that her arch rival Lauren Conrad launched her fashion collection online.

The reality show star turned wannabe singer and her boyfriend Spencer Pratt had dinner with friends at Sin City’s Social House inside the Treasure Island hotel before her big singing debut. Spencer even acted as Heidi’s publicity when he was spotted wearing a ‘Team Heidi’ shirt earlier in the day.

Several days have passed since the 2007 MTV VMAs but Kanye West is still bitter. And he’s not letting anyone leave without them knowing about it. Not even Justin Timberlake fans.

Kanye made a surprise appearance at the Emmy’s right before heading over to Justin’s show at the Staples Center in LA. He was even wearing the same suit. He also joined Justin on stage and rocked out an amazing rendition of ‘Stronger’. Kanye then busted out with the freestyle when he told the crowd “Hey yo, MTV — I can’t trust ‘em.”

He may be a whiner but the guy can perform.

Justin Timberlake fans in Sacramento and San Jose will have to wait a bit longer to get “Lovestoned.”Justin’s “FutureSex/LoveShow” concerts scheduled for last night and tomorrow in the California cities have been postponed, due to vocal strain suffered by the “SexyBack” singer.

A rep for Timberlake issued a statement to Access Hollywood assuring fans that the shows will go on…and soon:

“Tour promoter, AEG Live, has rescheduled Justin Timberlake’s concerts in Sacramento and San Jose. The shows were rescheduled following a doctor mandated several day vocal rest prescribed to the artist to repair vocal strain inflicted during his MTV VMA performance and months of rigorous touring.

The FutureSex/LoveShows will go on. The Sacramento concert, originally scheduled for Monday, September 10th, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, September 25th and the San Jose concert, originally scheduled for Wednesday, September 12th, has been moved to Sunday, September 23rd.

Fans should retain their tickets as they will be honored at the rescheduled concerts.”Justin was a major presence at Sunday’s Video Music Awards, winning multiple trophies and performing both at his party suite with Timbaland and 50 Cent, as well in the show’s big closing performance.

He has been on the “FutureSex/LoveShow” tour since January, performing over 50 shows in the U.S. and Canada, along with over 40 dates throughout Europe. He is currently in the midst of the second leg of his U.S. tour before moving on to dates in Australia and New Zealand next month.

Eve showed up to and performed at the Herbal Essences’ Great Escape to the MTV Video Music Awards party at the Palms on Friday night. That happened to be the last night that she had to wear her SCRAM anklet which prevents her from having too much fun and committing another DUI.

On Saturday, the female rapper took of the ankle monitoring bracelet that has been on her for the last 45 days. Eve is finally free!

Now maybe she can drink that champagne that was given to her at the MAC Cosmetics event from New York Fashion week. Cheers!

It seems that Justin Timberlake and Timbaland are inseparable. They make hit records, put on killer live shows, and now they even entertain the Las Vegas clubgoers!

The SexyBack singer has been making his rounds in Vegas as of late. He was spotted Friday night at a Kid Rock concert, and has been seen living it up at the clubs and casinos. He even took his mom out for a night on the town.

MTV may have lost Lily Allen’s performance due to her visa issues but that wouldn’t stop the fun from spreading. MTV has announced a whole new slew of additional performer’s for this year’s Video Music Awards which would air on September 9.

Added to the existing line up of Timbaland, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Chris Brown, Amy Winehouse, The Foo Fighters and Rihanna are Nelly Furtado, Gym Class Heroes, Lil’ Wayne, T-Pain, Cee-Lo and Daniel Merriweather.

Timbaland serves not only as a performer but also as the ‘maestro’ in charge of creating show-stopping artist collaborations. With the list that MTV has, collaborations will no doubt be just that.
