Did you send your birthday kiss to Bret Michaels while he was on tour?
Check it out. He seems to be willing to make out with anyone while on the road.
Bret Michaels wasn’t the only one to have a blast on his 45th birthday Saturday evening at Kewadin Casino.

Valerie Bertinelli claims Eddie Van Halen is not rehab due to cancelled tour
Valerie Bertinelli claims Eddie Van Halen is not rehab due to cancelled tour
Accoring to People magazines, Valerie said:
"The reports about him being in rehab are wrong. Eddie is sober," Bertinelli said at a New York luncheon hosted by cable TV’s Hallmark Channel, according to the Web site of celebrity magazine People.
The way she is reporting her admiration for her ex-husband, why is she not professing her love for the guy. It seems that she really supports him.

Exclaim! is pleased to announce that its 16th Anniversary Tour featuring Tokyo Police Club will be touching down in Toronto on Friday, May 2, 2008. The event will take place at Toronto’s Opera House at 735 Queen Street East. Supporting Tokyo Police Club will be Seattle teen popsters Smoosh and Quebec pop ensemble Winter Gloves. Tickets are $16, and go on sale this Friday, March 14th.
TOKYO POLICE CLUB
From the shopping-obsessed suburbs of Newmarket, Ontario, Tokyo Police Club are "a four-headed beast of tunefulness" that has graced the stages of Glastonbury, Coachella and Letterman, all on the strength of their explosive debut EP, A Lesson In Crime. With two years of touring the world over under their belts (from Brazil to Japan to Europe to the darkest corners of the U.S.), TPC are prepping for the release of their debut album, Elephant Shell, a mature statement that hones their frenetic pop with the band’s signature handclap and gang chants attacks, unorthodox choruses and a heaving sack of melodies.
SMOOSH
Smoosh’s members are sisters Asya and Chloe, both of whom are barely as old as Exclaim!. Together the two write and play energetic, candy-sweet pop music that is far beyond their years. The pair will be touring Canada after returning from a series European dates. Currently planning the follow-up to the band’s 2006 sophomore album Free to Stay, Smoosh have been very busy recording live sessions of unreleased tracks, collaborating with other artists and working on songs for their third album.
WINTER GLOVES
An all-Quebecois ensemble, Winter Gloves have been creeping out from under the radar of their local Montreal music scene with a handful of self-produced tracks that embrace the grit of vintage organs and drums, and have been grabbing the attention of all ears they’re crossing. The band are currently working on their debut full-length album in Toronto with producer Jon Drew (Tokyo Police Club, Fucked Up).

Leonard Cohen Announces World Tour
Leonard Cohen Announces World Tour
LEONARD COHEN
WORLD TOUR 2008
* * *
ON THE HEELS OF INDUCTION INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME,
LEONARD COHEN ANNOUNCES HIS FIRST TOUR IN 15 YEARS
* * *
NEW YORK, NY – Immediately following his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel tonight, Leonard Cohen announced his world tour, marking a return to the live arena after 15 years. He is scheduled to open in Toronto on June 6 and 7, the city that gave birth to his career as a recording and literary artist, and then play Europe in the remainder of June, July, August and early September.
Cohen is arguably the greatest singer songwriter of modern times. At his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he as recognized by Lou Reed as, “Without question one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a figure whose body of work achieves greater mystery and depth as time goes one.” Among those inducted with Cohen were: Madonna, John Mellencamp The Dave Clark Five, and the Ventures.
A celebrated and much lauded singer/songwriter he first emerged as a major and influential talent in the early 60’s. Albums like Songs Of Leonard Cohen (1967), Songs Of Love And Hate (1970) and I’m Your Man (1990), right up to 1992’s The Future, 2001’s Ten New Songs and 2004’s Dear Heather are rightly considered classics. Uniquely for a revered musician, Cohen’s literary plaudits rival those for his music.
His songs have been famously covered by the great and the good, each version a fascinating attempt to move closer to Cohen’s enigmatic muse. From Judy Collins’ “Suzanne” to Jeff Buckley’s seminal rendition of “Hallelujah,” Cohen’s songs have traveled as far and wide as their author. U2, REM, Sting, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and the late Johnny Cash are among other famous devotees. It is estimated that his songbook has been covered over 1,330 times by other recording artists.
In 2008, Cohen’s live tour will be as varied as his influence. He plays the UK’s legendary Glastonbury Festival on June 29, for 150,000 fans. The Montreux Jazz Festival and Spain’s Bennicasim are also stand out dates among arena shows at the O2 in London and more intimate dates such as Toronto’s Sony Centre and the Manchester’s Opera House in the UK. Rob Hallett from AEG Live said, “For many this tour will be the once in a lifetime opportunity to see the legend that is Leonard Cohen. We as a company are honored to bring this long rumored tour to reality across the globe.”
In all, the tour will take in fans, from intimate theatres to rock festivals proving the remarkable reach of Cohen’s words and music across nations and generations. He will be joined by world renowned musicians: Roscoe Beck (bass & vocals, music director) Neil Larsen (keyboard, accordion, brass instruments), Bob Metzger (guitar, steel guitar & vocals), Javier Mas (acoustic guitar, oud & misc. string instruments), Christine Wu (violin, viola, cello & keyboard), Rafael Gayol (drums & percussion) and Dino Soldo (keyboard, saxophone, wind instruments & vocals).
Cohen has been a SONY/BMG recording artist for his entire career. He continues as an active songwriter with much anticipated new work that is planned for release later this year.
Cohen is beyond comparison and a true original, providing some of music and literature’s most illuminating writing on love, sex, death and religion.
This is a world tour of epic proportions, but it is something even more than that. Leonard Cohen’s eagerly anticipated return to the stage after all these years is nothing short of musical history in the making.
AEG Live is promoting the tour worldwide. Cohen is represented by Los Angeles attorney Robert Kory and Core Management Company.

rnton, Junior Walker, among others, along with performances of Taylor’s greatest hits.
Widely regarded as a preeminent musician and storyteller, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee continues the world tour of his acclaimed CD/DVD release One Man Band in Europe in April 2008. The tour will include appearances at the Olympia Theatre in Paris as well as performances in Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Lucerne and Rome. One Man Band is an intimate retrospective of 40-years worth of songs interspersed with Taylor’s insightful and humorous anecdotes about the people, places and events that inspired them.

Now, excited to re-engage some of the great musicians he has worked with throughout his career–and with whom he recorded his new album–Taylor brings the big sound out under the stars this summer for the first time in three years. The 32-date tour, which includes his first Canadian dates in more than five years.
