Garth Brooks has been retired from the music scene since 2000 but the country singer has recently signed on with the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas to perform at the Danny Gans Theater beginning next year. The country star is expected to perform for 16 weeks shortly after New Year’s. Garth also recently had press conferences in both Nashville and Vegas to announce further details. If for some reason you don’t know who this guy is, Garth has sold over 220 million albums worldwide since his first album back in 1989 and currently lives in Oklahoma with his fellow country singer wife Trisha Yearwood.

As the New York City Medical Examiner’s office struggles to find the cause of death for DJ AM, authorities have figured out the inner workings of his last hours. At 1AM on the day that he was discovered in his NYC apartment, Adam Goldstein sent a text message to two of his friends about his Las Vegas gig later than day at Rain Nightclub at the Palms. 16 hours later, his friends called 911 because the DJ couldn’t be reached before his scheduled flight as he was not answering his cell phone. According to a police source, the NYPD broke down his door to find him lifeless. The initial autopsy report was proven to be inconclusive and a toxicology report will be expected in the following weeks. They suspect that drugs may be involved due to the various paraphernalia found in the DJ’s apartment.

Her album was recently pushed back, all her appearances have been cancelled, and now, it seems that Mariah Carey’s Las Vegas show won’t be going down either. Apparently, the singer’s Sin City gig isn’t stirring up as much buzz as everyone had hoped. Tickets are still available for her opening night at the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort where her residency was supposed to begin this September. The theater only has a capacity of 2,500. Good seats are still available. I guess Mariah isn’t as popular now as they claim her to be. It looks like her career is on its way out.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was spotted taking a swing at someone this past Tuesday in Las Vegas. He’s not getting into any trouble though as he was just on the set of his new movie ‘Get Him to the Greek’. It looks like he’s really focusing on being an actor now. In the scene, the 39-year old rapper and producer drags actor Colm Meaney away and races after a car containing funny men Russell Brand and Jonah Hill. The ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ spinoff is about a record company intern who is hired to accompany out-of-control rock star to a concert at LA’s Greek Theater.
