Nesmith's band features Boh Cooper on keyboards, Chris Scruggs on 6 string, mandolin and steel guitar, Paul Leim on drums and Joe Chemay on bass. The show will focus on Nesmith's critically acclaimed post-Monkees career but he will play one Monkees song on the tour, "Papa Gene's Blues."

(Hollyscoop) Chris Brown's abusive hands aren't getting him in trouble this time. It's his wandering eyes. Hollyscoop has exclusively learned that the R&B singer got a little too big for his britches at Elton John's Oscar Party on Sunday. Brown, who officially just got back with Rihanna—AKA the girl he battered in 2009— last month, was seen hitting on a different girl: Carmen Electra.According to an eyewitness at the party, at some point in the evening, Carmen passed Brown en route from the restroom. Breezy made his move, telling the stunner that she "smells amazing." Note to guys… We're guessing that this cheese-filled pickup line rarely works unless, of course, you're Chris Brown. But, even in this case, the "Don't Judge Me" singer got shut down. Unable to handle the bizarre comment, Carmen thanked Brown. The eyewitness tells HS that Brown, "asked if he could smell her and then buried his face into her neck." Brown sniffed the model up and down as if he were a prospector searching for nose gold… yeah, it got weird. The witness says that Carmen became (understandably) uneasy and politely walked away. more on this story

(Radio.com) Morrissey's dedication to vegetarianism inspires him to cancel a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday (February 26).The "smell of burning flesh" caused the former Smiths frontman to flee the stage at Coachella in 2009, but this time it's the mere presence of Duck Dynasty cast members. The popular A&E reality show centers around a family that sells products for duck hunters, some of whom are scheduled to appear on Kimmel Tuesday. In a statement posted to his Facebook page, Morrissey reps thanked Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the invitation and explained the change in plan. "He cannot morally be on a television program where the cast members of Duck Dynasty will also be guests. Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if Duck Dynasty were removed." more on this story

It was like a pep talk." more on this story

(Radio.com) Carly Rae Jepsen just released the music video for her catchy new single "Tonight I'm Getting Over You."The video follows Jepsen and her not-quite-boyfriend around as she tries her hardest to get over him. "Don't you share your smile with anyone else but me," she sings. "We're not lovers, but more than friends." The club beat is not a major departure for the singer and embodies the fun vibe of her last single, "This Kiss." Co-written by Jepsen with Lukas Hilbert, Max Martin, Clarence Coffee Jr, Shiloh and Katerina Loules, Jepsen said this is a song she's passionate about. And music isn't the only thing Jepsen is endorsing these days. She is the latest celebrity face for güd, a natural brand from Burt's Bees.

(Radio.com) Kid Ink is readying the visuals for his hit song "Bad A**," which features Wale and Meek Mill. While the tune calls up images of strippers and bottle poppin', Ink recently explained why his new take on the record is burning hot."The 'Bad A**' video is gonna be my biggest budget video ever being the major label and debut single," he told Radio.com. "I want to keep it in the direction of the song. The hook is a stripclub-oriented record where you wanna see females dance. A deeper punch line from the record is in the hook, 'Drop it down like it's a fire.' Like how the fireman goes down the pole, just the whole fire aspect–fire station, trucks–keep it in that direction." Ink is no stranger to flipping video concepts. The video for his breakout song "Time of My Life" re-imagined a record about hard partying and spun it into a clip about hanging with one special girl. more on this story
