Cher Planning Broadway Musical, New Album And Tour Jun 27th 2012, 20:53 By Zachary Swickey It feels like the perfect time for iconic diva Cher to get her own Broadway musical! Thankfully, one is currently in development, according to the singer. The process is moving along slowly but surely and producers have "been working on it quite a while now," her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, corroborated to Billboard. On top of the planned musical, Cher has been working on a new studio album with a tour expected to follow. (So much for that three-year, hugely successful "Living Proof: The Farewell Tour.") The musical is expected to be divided into three segments, with three different actresses portraying Cher in various stages of her life. In an interesting stage experiment, the trio will also reportedly interact with one another through dialog and song. One actress will play Cher from her early years through her relationship with late husband Sonny Bono. A second actress will then pick up the story and continue it through her "Believe." Finally, a third woman will play Cher from 1999 to present day. Cher states that the "old Cher" in the show will be "wise" and interact with the younger version of herself – telling her not to fear the future. Apparently not one to rest on her laurels, Cher is also prepping her 26th studio album – her first effort since 2002's Living Proof. The singer stated on Twitter that she hopes to release it before the holiday season. She's been working on tracks for over a year with one particularly noteworthy track – a duet with Lady Gaga dubbed "The Greatest Thing" – expected to be included. The song was originally intended to debut last August as a single, but Cher tweeted that the release was delayed due to her label, Warner Bros., wanting to save the single for release with the completed album. Finally, 66-year-old Cher will once again hit the road for a large-scale tour. She appropriately joked the name of the tour will be the "Never Can Say Goodbye Tour." Her "farewell" tour, which concluded in 2005, included over 300 shows over a three-year span and is one of the top grossing tours of all time. She followed it up with a hugely successful stint in Vegas at Caesars Palace from 2008-11. The new tour was originally expected to kick-off this August, but this is highly unlikely as no dates have been announced. Media files: cher.jpg (image/jpeg) cher-70x53.jpg (image/jpeg)

OMAs 'Best Protest Song' Nominees: The 99 Percent, And LOLCATS, and SOPA, Oh My! Jun 27th 2012, 21:44 Photo: Plies "We Are Trayvon" (WMG) We are the tech generation, and it's about time we start rewarding artists for their masterful use of technology! From musical apps to viral videos, the O Music Awards are all about celebrating the best in digital music. The online show begins airing tonight at 7:30pm ET, and this year's "Best Protest Song" nominees are OMG AMAZING. From a drunk serenade to a song about LOLCATS, check 'em out, and then vote for your faves using the action link below! + Dan Bull – "SOPA Cabana" Dan Bull was not cool with the Stop Online Piracy Act -- which would have limited all of the awesome stuff we get to see on the Internet -- so he wrote a rap about it. While most of us use our social networks to do unproductive things like stalk the girl who wrote on the wall of the guy we used to know, Dan used his network for good! He asked his Twitter followers for help with lyrics, then had his Facebook friends take pictures of themselves displaying the lyrics for the video. So this is what happens when we use the internet for good?! + Robert Wilkinson – "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Drunk Queen Cover) All Robert Wilkinson wanted to do was party! Instead, he was pulled over for drunk driving. But Robert had clearly just listened to "Black Flags" and wasn't gonna let his frustrations go unheard. Here's Robert. Drunk. Singing in the back of a cop car. Definitely one way to protest… + Forest Gibson – "The Day The LOLCATS Died" Guys! So many species have already gone extinct, and it is our responsibility to save the LOLCATS! Forest Gibson wrote "The Day The LOLCATS Died" in protest of SOPA, which would censor Internet gems like this…because, you know, cute pictures of kittens are just so inappropriate. + Plies – "We Are Trayvon" The Trayvon Martin shooting resulted in a lot of necessary debate on racial profiling in the justice system. Plies wrote this song in response to the tragedy, and 100% of proceeds go to the Trayvon Martin Foundation. + Atari Teenage Riot – "Black Flags" This is totally the Occupy movement's theme song! "Black Flags" is an urgent call to action to those dissatisfied with corporate America and the rich gettin' richer. And when we say urgent, we mean it. According to Atari, you only have 2 seconds to get off your crush's Facebook page and into protest mode. If economic disparity is your cause of choice, check out The 99%, a movement that hopes to someday spread the concentration of wealth amongst the top 1% to allllll the people! Complaining about stuff is easy, but are you "ready to testify?!" You can start out by voting for your favorite protest song using the action link below!

The Five Signature Looks We Expect To See In The Spice Girls Musical 'Viva Forever!' Jun 27th 2012, 22:00 By Audrey Cook News broke yesterday that there will be a stage musical based on the career of the Spice Girls. Titled "Viva Forever!" the show will debut at London's Piccadilly Theatre in December. Besides the group's memorable hits, which include such classics as "Wannabe" and "Say You'll Be There," the English girl group was also known for the funky ensembles they rocked onstage. It's a pure fashion blast from the past! Check out the five key looks we expect to see in "Viva Forever!" below: >> Ginger Spice got her groove on in bright-colored mini dresses, but is remembered most for her trademark platforms boots, Union Jack dress and, of course, her ginger-colored hair. >> Baby Spice rocked blonde pigtails, wore light and airy baby doll dresses, white platform shoes and sometimes accessorized with a giant lollipop. Oh, and a monogrammed necklace with the word "Baby" on it. How fitting. >> Not much has changed for Posh Spice since the 1990s – Victoria Beckham can still rock a little balck dress, black stilettos and dark makeup better than just about anyone we know. >> Sporty Spice had the most comfortable outfits of them all. She got her jam on wearing a sports bra, athletic pants, tennis shoes and the high ponytail. >> Scary Spice decked herself out in over-the-top jumpsuits, often with animal print, but she also mixed it up by wearing midriffs and cargo pants with a gold arm band. Luckily for us, all of her outfits were paired with her enormous curly brown hair and platforms. Get More: Spice Girls, Say You'll Be There, Music, More Music Videos Which of the five looks is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!
