Fox's live version of “The
Rocky Horror Show” continues to add names- with Adam Lambertsigning on for the roll of Eddie.
“I grew up watching
Rocky Horror, but could never imagine that I would be part of this
new vision. Rocky Horror always made me feel like it was OK to
celebrate my weirdness. Hallelujah, bless my soul! I love that old
time rock-n-roll!” Lambert told The Hollywood Reporter.
Others in the cast for the
fall broadcast include “Orange Is the New Black” actress Laverne
Cox as Dr. Frank-n-Furter, Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan as
Janet and Brad, Penny Dreadful's Reeve Carney as Riff-Raff, and Staz
Nair as Rocky.
Janet Jackson has
announced the rescheduled dates for her Unbreakable World Tour, with
the North American leg the tour kicking off May 14 in Las Vegas.
The singer also shot down
rumors that she had been diagnosed with cancer, saying “I do not
have cancer. I'm recovering... My doctors have approved my concerts
as scheduled in Europe, and as I promised, the postponed shows will
be rescheduled. Thank you for your prayers and love.”
The tour plays Philips
Arena on August 7.
Legendary
composer/conductor John Williams was among the Academy Award nominees

of his career. He has won the honor five times- including a win for
Star Wars in 1977.
“I'm deeply honored and
grateful to the Academy for this recognition,” Williams said in a

Wars galaxy and to work with the brilliant director J.J. Abrams on
this very special film.”

Schindler's List.
At last night's show at
L.A.'s Wiltern, Elton John played an instrumental version of David
Bowie's “Space Oddity” in tribute. At a show the previous night,
he called Bowie “innovative, he was boundary-changing, and he
danced to his own tune -- which in any artist is really rare.”
Earlier in the week,
Madonna performed “Rebel Rebel” at a show in Texas.
