The hip-hop artist Jay-Z and his ’student’ Rihanna will be concert together in South Africa in October. This three-date tour includes concerts in Cape Town on the 11th, Durban on the 13th, and Johannesburg on the 14th. The hip-hop celebrity Jay-Z and R&B singer Rihanna were brought in South Africa by Heineken Music, 5fm and Big Concerts. Jay-Z came back in the music industry although he announced his retirement from hip-hop world. The rap artist returned to the stage June 25 at Radio City Music Hall to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut album ‘Reasonable Doubt’.

The hip-hop heavy weight Jay-Z will also begin an international tour, which kicks off in Turkey, wanting to educate people about the water crisis in poor countries because 4,500 children die daily from diseases caused by poor sanitation and a lack of water. He will also have his own documentary called ‘The Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life’, set to premiere November 24. These are not the only plans Jay-Z has. The hip-hop celebrity is also preparing the releasing of a new album. Did he ever really retire?

Yes, it’s true. The celebrity, Lindsay Lohan, wants to go in Irak with Senator Hillary Clinton to give a concert for the troops that are there. She said that she wants to do exactly like Marilyn Monroe who visited troops in Korea during the 1950s. She also said that it’s so amazing seeing one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who’s basically a pinup, which is what she has always aspired to be. For the protection of the actress her security guard will take her to a gun range and she will start taking some shooting lessons.

What is she doing in Irak? She’ll never even get close to what Marilyn Monroe was anyway. I think that the concert will be a disaster. She’d better give up this crazy idea and go on with her acting career.

The pop-latin celebrity Shakira continues to stay number one in Ireland with her single ‘Hips don’t lie’, featuring Wycleaf Jean. This is the pop singer’s eight week as number one on the Irish singles chart.

The pop celebrity, Shakira, also continues to stay number one in Australia with the same single ‘Hips don’t lie’.

In other news, it seems like the pop-latin artist, Shakira, disappointed her fans from Romania. The concert she had in Romania was a total disaster. She got late with almost three hours, the organizers expected to come about 40,000 fans but only show up about 25,000 (in other articles 15,000-17,000), the public was cold, maybe because they were already sick of waiting for the pop celebrity to come. Come on, Shakira, you can do something better than that!

According to the news, Tupac Shakur’s mother Afeni and the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation have announced the hip-hop icon Tupac Legacy Tour, which marks the 10th anniversary of the rapper’s death.

The event will be sponsored by the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation and A+M Entertainment with Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA) located in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

In other celebrity news, Tupac’s father Dr. Mutulu Shakur wants to release a album entitled A 2Pac Tribute: Dare 2 Struggle to commemorate the 35th birthday of his son, hip-hop icon Tupac - who was 25 years old when he was murdered in 1996 after attending a boxing match in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Madonna performed on 30th April at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. next to Massive Attack, Scissor Sisters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tool and Gnarls Barkley. The pop celebrity performed six songs: ‘Hung Up’, ‘Get Together’, ‘I Love New York’, ‘Ray of Light’, ‘Let It Will Be’ and ‘Everybody’, singles of her last album ‘Confessions on a dance floor’.

Although the pop celebrity, Madonna was more than 20 minutes late starting, she didn’t stop shocking more then 100,000 people screaming to the crowd: ‘Everybody, does my a** look okay?’. Well, surely not everyone was excited to see the pop singer. For example Alessandra Ambrosio, a Brazilian model said that she was there for anything but Madonna because the pop celebrity was too pop to for Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
