She'll be seeing you in 2011
Christina Aguilera Postpones Her 2010 Tour

Bad news, Christina Aguilera fans … it looks like you’re gonna hafta wait a while longer to see your girl live on stage. Altho thousands of tickets have already been sold for Xtina‘s planned Summer tour in support of her new album Bionic, the decision has been made to cancel this Summer’s dates and move the entire tour to 2011. The reasoning? “Prior commitments”. Um, what? Read on …

Christina Aguilera, who was set to tour in support of her highly anticipated new album “Bionic” alongside Leona Lewis, has pushed back the tour a year. In a statement from Live Nation, Aguilera announced the summer tour has been moved to 2011 due to prior commitments she had to make for promoting the album, set to hit stores June 4 and her upcoming film debut, “Burlesque,” which is slated for a November release and co-stars Cher. “The singer felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour date this wasn’t possible,” the statement read. New dates will be announced later this year. Refunds for tickets to Aguilera’s Aug. 19 show at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine are available at point of purchase. Aguilera is slated to perform at the MTV Movie Awards on June 6.

Yes, all of this makes sense … but why wasn’t any of this lack of time taken into consideration BEFORE the tour was announced and tickets went on sale? I managed to score some sweet tix for the August 19th show and now I have to go thru the hassle of getting a refund of my money. Altho annoying, I guess it’s better than Xtina put her tour on hold so that she can take the time to work up a spectacular show. I guess we’ll just have to wait until next year to see the Bionic woman in action on stage.

After 8 seasons, '24' comes to an end
The Clock Runs Out On ‘24’

And so … 24 comes to an end. Last night Fox aired the 2-hour season finale episode of the long-running action/drama 24 and brought to a close what I consider one of the best television programs to ever air in the US. I’ve been a longtime fan of 24 and even tho some of the more recent storylines have left me wanting more, I have to say that overall the series is absolutely one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I thought it was very fitting that the finale ep of the series took place between the hours of 2 and 4 PM … bringing to an end, once and for all, the last day of Jack Bauer‘s television life:

After the jump, check out a few screencaps from last night’s finale ep and read some of my thoughts on the end of 24. Also, check out an amazing promo video made by Fox that highlights some of the most exciting characters and moments from 24‘s 8 season run …

Carrie on
‘Sex And The City 2’ Premieres In NYC

Last night in NYC Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis were joined by a host of other celebs for the premiere of their new film Sex and the City 2. The lavish event, which took place at Radio City Music Hall, managed to attract a horde of screaming fans who were anxious to get a look at the fabulously stylish stars on the red carpet. Here are a few photos from the SaTC 2 premiere in NYC last night along with some deets from the event:

Monday night in Manhattan marked a milestone for many New York women, with the premiere of the most-anticipated chick flick of the season, “Sex and the City 2.” Outside Radio City Music Hall, thousands of women braved a muggy city evening during rush hour. Sandwiched against police barricades, fans formed a veritable sorority as they sweat through their foundation and mascara, chanting “Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda!” over the din of honking taxicabs. When the leading ladies, Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) and Kirstin Davis (Charlotte York) actually appeared, Parker, dressed in a whimsical neon-yellow colored gown, walked boldly away from the red carpet toward her public, embracing women who pleaded for autographs. “It’s almost like she’s Jesus,” one reporter said, laughing, as the press looked on, transfixed. Later, when Parker, Nixon and Cattrall bypassed most of the media, waving apologetically, reporters grimaced. Thankfully, unlike their female co-stars, the leading men in the movie took the time to dish on what fans can expect from the sequel. David Eigenberg, who plays Steve, Miranda’s husband, revealed his character’s opinion of his onscreen spouse. “Miranda [is] kind of bossy. She kind of busts my chops. … But she’s good in the bed, you know,” Eigenberg told ABCNews.com. Eigenberg also admitted that he doesn’t relate to his character, Steve, at all. “I’m a lot meaner and stupider than he is,” he said … John Corbett, who plays Aiden, Carrie’s former fiance, whom she encounters in the new movie while vacationing with the girls in Abu Dhabi, emphasized the movie’s surprising merits for men. “I always thought that this show was just for the women. There’s a lot to learn if you just pick up a Cosmopolitan once in a while. … It’s like a guide. This movie acts in the same way. All you got to do is pick up some popcorn and some coke, and you’ll pick up some tips if you’re interested,” Corbettt told ABCNews.com. Jason Lewis, who plays Smith Jerrod, Samantha’s hunky ex-boyfriend, hinted that his character will also appear in Abu Dhabi. “The travel and location was amazing,” he said, beaming. “Oh, and you know, it’s a horrible thing being surrounded by pretty women,” Lewis joked. Chris Noth, who plays Carrie”s husband, John Preston — aka Big — looked suave and debonair in a black tuxedo. In the sequel, Big and Carrie are rumored to have marital problems. On the red carpet, Noth didn’t really kiss and tell about the plot, saying the movie is about “grappling with the traditions” … Unlike many of her female co-stars, Kristin Davis did take the time to summarize the movie, calling it “a fun romp.” Dressed in a bright-pink gown, Davis also dispelled frequent rumors of offscreen cattiness among the four women. “All four of us were together for most of the time off camera. We had a very similar situation to what they had in the movie but with less controversy,” Davis said.

OMG, this looks so fun! The SaTC folks always save the biggest premiere for NYC, for obvious reasons, but I am really looking forward to the LA preview screening that will be taking place at Grauman’s Chinese Theater tomorrow night. The event, hosted by Moët & Chandon, will show the film first before taking the party to the new Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum on Hollywood Blvd. (insert your own joke here) for a bubbly afterparty. I am SO excited for that event because David and I have been invited to attend :) I’ve been really looking to SaTC 2 since we heard the movie was greenlit for production … it doesn’t seem like all that long ago that we saw the first photos from the set and now … the film has already enjoyed its first premiere. I’ve been staying as far away from movie spoilers as possible (mainly because I feel I already know too much about the plot from the released movie trailers) and I’ve refrained from reading any reviews so I can enjoy the film unencumbered by other opinions. I know there will be quite a few of you making your way to movie theaters this Thursday for the release of Sex and the City 2! Who’s excited?!
