The contribution of Sir Elton John for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is against law, as he is not a citizen of U.S, according to an American Government watchdog and its discussions with law makers. Elton John raised $2.5 million through tickets sales and advertisements by staging a concert named ‘Elton and Hillary: One Night Only’ on 9^th April at the Radio City Music Hall for the democratic senator’s campaign.  But, according to judicial procedures of U.S, raising funds for election by foreign nationals is not permitted and Elton is a British citizen.

However Hillary’s spokesperson said that Hillary’s campaign is compiled with law as a loophole in law allowed campaigning by foreign nationals from 1987 provided they volunteer their time for the candidate in an compensated basis and the concert of Elton was well within the statutory rules for the election campaign in U.S. Elton has expressed his support to Hillary during the concert by saying “there is no one more qualified to lead America”.

Bury the hatchet, they say. And that is exactly what the four founding members of Jane’s Addiction will be doing in order to prepare for the reunion that fans have been waiting for all this while. The alternative rock band’s main goal in doing so? To accept a much deserved career achievement award!

The pioneering band is set to rock the music scene for the first time in 17 years and together, they will attend the NME Awards in Los Angeles this coming Wednesday. Ever since Jane’s Addiction disbanded in the year 1991, things have not been the same for both the members and their fans. Eric Avery, who is the band’s talented bass player, has refused to play with them, much less appear together in public. Previously the band members, sans Avery, have found time to come together and perform. But now that they are to receive the “Godlike Genius Award” for their extensive contribution towards the development of alternative rock, Avery will appear with fellow members, singer Perry Farrell, drummer Stephen Perkins and guitarist Dave Navarro to collect the award.

The front man Rob Thomas and his wife Marisol have revealed in the website of Matchbox Twenty that they will not be performing at the Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 18^th due to potential animal abuse. Rob Thomas said that he had discussions with the other members of the band and they all have decided not to participate in the event that does not support the mission statement of their non profit organization “Sidewalk Angles Foundation”.

The statement also mentions that the Matchbox Twenty band members seeks apologizes from their fans who had purchased tickets for the show as they are not in a position to support any organization which they believe ill-treats the animals. There has been no reply from the Cheyenne Frontier Days representatives so far, but have put up a message on their website stating that they condemn abuse and mistreat of animals.

Serbian Kiss fans are greatly disappointment upon finding out that the concert have been canceled. This is due to the political strife in the Balkan country, says official sources. Political tensions are high on the scale in the Balkan region after Kosovo was declared independent.

The world famous rockers were set to perform in the capital city of Belgrade on May 15 as part of their European tour. Alas that was not to be as their concert organizers have announced that their show will be canceled and that fans will be given a refund. An official statement was released: “The members of the band regret to inform you that the concert has to be cancelled, but the situation in Serbia does not leave them much choice. However, they hope they will perform in Serbia on some other occasion.” This translates to the band promising to be back in Serbia as they currently feel that their safety will be compromised right after the recent elections were held in February.

Elton John was clearly a fan of US presidency candidate, Hillary Clinton when he held a concert in honor of the Democrat hopeful. He thinks that she is most qualified candidate to lead the US as president and has held a rousing concert on April 10, 2008 to show his support. To date, the concert sold 5,000 tickets and raised $2.5 million at Radio City Music Hall.

Amidst screams and yells from fans (and Hillary’s supporters), the British musician belted out famous tunes such as “Your Song” (also made popular by Ewan McGregor in the soundtrack Moulin Rouge), “Border Song” and “Benny and the Jets”.

Elton John was clearly pleased to be performing for his friend, Hillary, and has been quoted to declare that he is indeed a staunch Hillary supporter. The US candidate was all smiles when she reiterated her campaign statement to a cheering crowd. Her husband, former US president Bill Clinton, as well as daughter Chelsea, were also present to lend their support to the former First Lady.

The Spice Girls were there in the need of the hour and saved their group mate and singer Victoria Beckham from the wide mouthed lecture from well known celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. At the same time, the Spice Girls got together to discuss on a reunion tour to perform in front of their die hard fans all over the world. The reunion tour was a grand success for the Spice Girls as their fans came in large numbers by buying tickets to watch the performance of their favorite girl band.

Victoria Beckham was slated to appear on Ramsay’s celebrity TV show ‘Hell’s Kitchen”, but had to withdraw from it due to the reunion tour. Ramsay said that it was really bad that she could not make it to one of his cooking classes as he would have grilled her done in that session. Ramsay says that both the Beckham’s are great foodies but they mostly eat healthy food only.
