Madonna : “Due to circumstances far beyond our control, we are saddened to announce that Live Earth India has been canceled,” Al Gore and Live Earth CEO Kevin Wall said in a joint statement. “We will continue to work for solutions to the climate crisis for the good of the people of India and around the world.” Live Earth was scheduled to take place in Mumbai, India on December 7th, featuring artists including Bon Jovi and Roger Waters. On Wednesday, armed gunmen took hostages at two hotels and the Jewish Center in Mumbai. A source close to the concert said “covert security” was dispatched to Mumbai to remove the Live Earth staff members who were in the city preparing for the concert. They were taken to a Marriot hotel by the security team before being flown out of the country. “Everyone involved with Live Earth India, from our U.S.- and India-based staff, artists and crew to our India-based broadcast, production, non-profit and marketing communications partners, is stunned and saddened by the tragic events of the past few days in our host city Mumbai,” the statement also said. “We always felt very welcomed and safe as we spent more time on the ground in Mumbai to finalize plans for Live Earth India, scheduled for December 7. For now, our thoughts and our prayers are with the victims of this terrible attack, with the bereaved, with the people of Mumbai and with everyone in India,” their statement concluded.

Britney Spears Performs ‘Womanizer’ at Germany’s Bambi Awards [Video & Photos]
She didn’t do much dancing, just some fancing ’strutting,’ if you will. And there was absolutely no singing involved, she simply mouthed the prerecorded track. But hey, I guess that’s typical. At least she wasn’t bloated and wearing a diamond encrusted bra and panties like last time. She did, however, look an awful lot like Madonna. All Britney had to do really, was show up and look good. And that’s what she did.

X Factor.
Britney’s third performance this week took place on Britain’s X Factor today and I gotta say, it was lacking the “show factor.” Maybe it’s because I’m personally SO OVER that song, but I thought the circus show theme she’s been doing the past two days was much better. Though I will give it to her that she’s looking happy, and more confidant on the stage. It only gets better from here when the US shows start up. Britney will be performing Womanizer and a NE
