Pearl Jam kicked off their Australian tour in the shadow of Britney Spears, making a reference to lip-synching before a crowd of 30,000. The band’s frontman, Eddie Vedder, reportedly told the audience at Perth’s Members Equity Stadium that he would be lip-synching and that, according to some new rules under consideration, he would do the right thing and confess to the fact in advance. He also joked that he would use the miming opportunity as an excuse to knock back some wine and enjoy a cigarette. Then he let rip without a sound before turning the microphone towards the crowd to allow them to take over singing Pearl Jam classics such as Daughter, Alive and Better Man. A local review of the concert in the western coastal city where Spears began her Circus tour, reported: “Pearl Jam kicked off their Australian tour with a slick performance in Perth, which gave the crowd a taste of the band’s newest offerings whilst rocking out all the old favourites. “The week after Britney Spears started her Australian tour at the Burswood Dome with a concert big on lip-synching and short on audience interaction, Eddie Vedder demonstrated just how a real, charismatic and talented musician conducts a gig.” Coming Hits Zoo Lyrics Nicole ScherzingerOutlet Lyrics Eminem In My Head Lyrics Jason DeRuloI’m On Fire Lyrics John Mayer Cutter Off Lyrics UsherBoom Boom Bang Lyrics Kesha Girlfriend Lyrics Chris BrownBack To The Crip Lyrics Juelz Santana Rewind That Lyrics Toni BraxtonPictures Lyrics Ne-Yo More blog tools found here.

Madonna has finally met the mother of her toyboy lover Jesus Luz, according to reports. Hairdresser Cristiane Regina Da Silva, who is 15 years younger than the pop star, was spotted arriving at the singer’s hotel in Rio de Janeiro looking dressed to impress. It is further proof that the relationship, initially dismissed as a fling, is going strong as it approaches the one-year mark. Madonna arrived in Brazil on Monday, ostensibly to meet various officials about setting up a children’s charity in the country. But the trip has been surrounded by rumours she was finally due to meet her 23-year-old lover’s parents. Cristiane was seen arriving at Hotel Fasano with Jesus’ agent Peterson Ibrahim one evening earlier this week. At the time Jesus and Madonna were out to dinner, and it is thought the 36-year-old arrived early to meet the pop star in an informal way following the meal. Although initially critcising the pair’s age difference and Madonna’s apparent controlling behaviour, Cristiane would seem to have warmed to the relationship. Jesus’ dad, hospital worker Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz, has not been seen near the pair or at the hotel.
