Country star Taylor Swift announced that she’s donating $100,000 to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa branch of the Red Cross. Two month ago, Cedar Rapids suffered millions of dollars in damages and thousands of job losses due to torrential rains. A source close to the singer said “Taylor was going to cancel the concert, thinking few people could attend, but the mayor of Cedar Rapids asked her to carry on.” Taylor said of the donation “The people in this town have been through so much loss this year, and my heart goes out to them. They’ve stood by me, they gave me a sold-out show. You’ve got to pay it forward in life – that’s all I did in Cedar Rapids.”

Rihanna performed her smash hit single ‘Umbrella’ with Jay-Z at the 3rd Annual THISDAY Fashion and Musical Festival in Abuja, Nigeria on Friday. This year’s festival, which is tagged ‘Africa Rising: To Celebrate the Best and Brightest of Emerging New Africa’, was designed o revolutionize global perspectives on African issues. The organizers of the event are intent of Africa receiving investments instead of aid as well as a new mindset which they believe can be achieved through a celebration of the continent’s potentials. And who better to catch attention than who can arguably be the most recognizable artist of this era?

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.

Once the title of American Idol has lost its luster on you because someone hotter has come along, there’s always musical theater to run to. Just like fellow Idol alums Fantasia Barrino, Clay Aiken, Diana DeGarmo, Frenchie Davis and Constantine Maroulis, ex-American Idol champ Taylor Hicks is heading to the Great White Way. The fallen idol is set to join the cast of ‘Grease’ as Teen Angel starting on June 6. He says he plans to add ‘soulful flavor’ to his performance of ‘Beauty School Dropout’. He also said that the flashy role is “a classic fit for a classic performer”. Did he just call himself a classic performer? I think he meant has-been.

You know that you have the hottest tour of this year when you’ve got some of the hottest artists OPENING your show for you. Rihanna beams in a hot pink number during Kanye West’s ‘Glow in the Dark’ tour at HP Pavilion on Saturday in San Jose, California. The Queen of 2007 and still reigning in 2008 Rihanna is just one of three opening acts for Kanye. The other acts are Lupe Fiasco and NERD, Pharrell Williams’ rock ensemble. Kanye’s show is already getting rave reviews on its own. The addition of those three big opening acts are just an added bonus that takes the show all the way to the top.

I wrote about American Idol contestant – as of last Thursday, American Idol wannabe – Robbie Carrico having a full head of fake hair. Even AI judge Simon Cowell perhaps took shots at the piece when he told Robbie that his performance “just never ever felt real”. But the guy is singing a different tune. Robbie told People last Friday that he’s been growing his head of hair for a very long time and that it’s ridiculous that the media came up with something like that. So what were the spies inside Idol talking about with the Idol officials freaking out over his hair? I guess he just can’t accept the fate that gravity has given to his hairline.

Idol watchers are going nuts over 17 year old David Archuleta. His Tuesday performance of “Imagine” amazed fans and judges alike and placed David at the forefront of the Idol race.

Many are looking back and comparing this performance to Kelly Clarkson’s “Natural Woman” and Carrie Underwood’s “Alone”. Only difference – looks like this year’s winner will be a guy. David’s got an upperhand with the “tween” crowd of 10 to 16 year old girls!

If you’re thinking about getting on stage at a Wyclef Jean concert, be sure to weigh yourself before going and see to it that you weigh under 200 lbs. The former Fugees member asked for 30 girls to shake it with him on stage at a Super Bowl weekend performance at 944 Village in Scottsdale, Arizona but announced that there was a weight limit for anyone who decides to climb up there to join him. Wyclef finished his performance with a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Mind you, the caliber of that rendition was far from Jimi Hendrix’s caliber.

When one party ends, you just move to another one that’s still hopping. Two out of three Jonas Brothers, Kevin and Nick, were spotted entering their tour bus after leaving the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Albany, New York. The band of brothers has played their final sold out show at the Times Union Centre as part of the Hannah Montana tour. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be seeing them at a place near you any time soon.

The brothers are soon to start doing their own thing after signing a deal with Live Nation. If you remember how much Madonna is set to make off of Live Nation, you can just imagine what the boys would wind up with.
