Looking to capitalize on their hit “Because of You” from the “Reba Duets” album, Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson are teaming up for a 15-date tour in early 2008 called 2 Worlds 2 Voices.  to purchase tickets to an upcoming concert, please Click HERE

Slated to kickoff Jan. 17 in Dayton, OH, the month-long tour will wind its way through several Southern and Midwestern states and end Feb. 16 in Kansas City, MO.

McEntire, who has branched out into television over the past several years in addition to maintaining a robust recording career, has remained one of the more consistently popular artists in Country music. And while Clarkson’s star has continued to rise since her victory in the inaugural American Idol, 2007 has been a rocky year for the singer/songwriter. She feuded with, and then made up with, powerful record executive Clive Davis, and was forced to cancel a planned summer tour due to slow ticket sales.

The fallout from the negative press surrounding the canceled tour and the Davis debacle resulted in Clarkson splitting with former manager Jeff Kwatinetz and signing with McEntire’s husband, Narvel Blackstock, and his company Starstruck Entertainment.

Her sophomore album, “My December,” received generally favorable reviews but did not yield the same number of hits, nor overall sales, of her debut album “Breakaway,” but Clarkson was able to rebound and launch a fall headlining tour, and she performed during the National Football League season kick-off telecast from Indianapolis, IN two months ago. Her fall tour is slated to wrap up Dec. 3 in Nashville.

A double header featuring legendary fighters Silva vs Liddell and Serra vs Hughes, which most definitely will become an instant classic evening of the finest UFC combat to date. Tickets for all locations of Nemesis UFC 79 are available.UFC Press Release for the Nemesis Event:Las Vegas, NV (USA) – For years, UFC fight fans have speculated about the outcome of a historic dream matchup between two legendary figures in the sport of mixed martial arts, Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva. Tonight, on Spike TV’s 2007 Scream Awards, UFC President Dana White announced that this dream will finally become a reality when UFC and PRIDE former champions Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and “The Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva face each other at UFC 79: NEMESIS live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday, December 29, 2007.

(USA) – For years, UFC fight fans have speculated about the outcome of a historic dream matchup between two legendary figures in the sport of mixed martial arts, Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva. Tonight, on Spike TV’s 2007 Scream Awards, UFC President Dana White announced that this dream will finally become a reality when UFC and PRIDE former champions Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and “The Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva face each other at UFC 79: NEMESIS live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center Saturday, December 29, 2007.“Chuck and Wanderlei – two legends in the sport – will face off in the most important match of their careers at UFC 79,” said Dana White, UFC President. “Chuck and Wanderlei have both wanted this fight for as long as they can remember, and this is definitely the fight that fans have waited for years to see. Finally, PRIDE’s most dangerous striker will face the UFC’s most dangerous striker, and the world will know after years of speculation who will win and who will lose this fight.” 

Liddell (20-5), considered by many to be the greatest light heavyweight fighter of all time, reigned as the 205-pound UFC champion for over three years. He knocked out seven opponents in seven consecutive fights, including Randy Couture (twice), Vernon White, Jeremy Horn, Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Tito Ortiz (twice), before he was defeated by Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 71 in May. Chuck now returns to the Octagon to face the fighter he has wanted to fight for years – Wanderlei Silva.

“I’m excited this fight with Wanderlei is finally happening,” said Liddell. “I’ve been saying for a long time that, given the chance, I would knock Wanderlei Silva out. I think this will be a great fight for the fans, and one that lives up to their expectations, because I’m going to hit him until he falls down and stays down.”

The 31-year old Silva (31-7-1), known by fight fans as “The Axe Murderer” for his ultra-aggressive style and finishing ability, began his career almost 11 years ago in his native Brazil,

The Costello/Dylan pairing will hit 13 cities in all. Dates are shown below.

Dylan is touring to support the Oct. 1 release of a three-disc, 51-track career retrospective. Simply titled “Dylan,” the set will also be made available in a streamlined, 18-song, single-disc version, which will also carry the same title. A deluxe edition will consist of the 3-CD version enclosed in a cloth-covered case, with an extended liner-notes booklet and 10 limited-edition postcards included inside.

Last year, Dylan offered up “Modern Times,” his first new studio set since 2001’s “Love and Theft.” The 2006 disc, which is the folk legend’s 44th album, features 10 new Dylan originals he recorded with his touring band: guitarists Stu Kimball and Denny Freeman, multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron, bassist Tony Garnier and drummer George Recile. Dylan sang and played keyboards, guitars and harmonica.

Costello’s most recent release is a collaboration with New Orleans musician Allen Toussaint recorded last June in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. “The River in Reverse”–which comprises seven songs from Toussaint’s catalog, the title track by Costello, and five new tunes penned by the two together–earned them a Grammy nomination. The album was followed by the DVD “Hot as a Pistol, Keen as a Blade,” which captures a live show from last year’s Costello/Toussaint tour.

Stevie Wonder has has unveiled plans to embark on his first major tour in a dozen years. Tickets to Stevie Wonder’s new Tour will be available as of August 11th at eSeats.com. For more information about venues or available vip seating for upcoming shows, contact 800-660-6031.The 13-city itinerary, released today kicks off Aug. 23, and includes eight stops on the West Coast, as well as appearances in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore and Boston. The full schedule is below.

Stevie say’s he’s looking forward to performing in these venues under the stars,” Wonder said in a prepared statement. “We are going to have some wonderful nights of intimate excitement.”

Over the course of his career, Wonder has charted 49 singles in the Top 40, including 32 No. 1 singles, according to Live Nation. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

Wonder’s latest album was “A Time to Love,” a set that finally hit stores in 2005 after several delays.

In recent years, Wonder has frequently appeared at charity events and played one-off concerts. However, he hasn’t toured the U.S. since he embarked on a monthlong outing in 1995.

It’s not a matter of if, but how do i get tickets to see the upcoming junior welterweights Floyd Mayweather Junior and Ricky Hatton from Great Britian? The answer is simple, call eSeats.com - 800-660-6031 and speak with one of our knowledgeable agents. The fight will be on par with the recent Mayweather vs De La Hoya given the fan support for Ricky Hatton and the desire to see a boxer finally stick it to pretty boy.

Why Mayweather v. Hatton must happen - from East Side Boxing

The 140 pound division has long been ranked among the most talent-rich in the boxing world. At any given time, the top-10 rankings are loaded with fighters capable of being serious and respected champions. One thing, however, has been lacking in this division. The junior welterweights need a super-fight. Now is the time to make this fight happen.. Now is the time to give fans the junior welterweight super-fight we are all denied when Kostya Tszyu sent Judah dancing to the canvas in only two rounds.

Sadly, however, it seems that Floyd Mayweather would rather look into higher divisions rather than face the top dog at 140 pounds; Ricky Hatton. They have a combined record of 73-0 and beautifully matched styles. In fact, they represent the perfect foil for each other to show how great they can really be.

Hatton is a raging bull type fighter, always moving forward, throwing vicious punches, and is relentless in this attack. Mayweather is a about as slick as they come. Unlike other slick-ster type fighters, he doesn’t run in the ring. He is somehow able to stand directly in front of his opponents and yet avoid being hit.

This would be a prime example of a boxer-brawler fight, in the same vain as Ali/Fraiser and Robinson/LaMotta. Mayweather and Hatton are as good at their respective styles as is anything in the sport today.

Recently, Mayweather has been in talks with Winky Wright at 154 and Zab Judah at 147. No doubt, these fights would be excellent and dangerous for all involved, but why has the prospect of a Hatton fight been left behind. Mayweather has faced top-quality opposition for several years now, rarely stepping down in the caliber of opponents, so it its doubtful that he is simply ducking Hatton. But this would be a missed opportunity for both fighters, for the fans, for the division, and for boxing in general, which is badly in need of as many super-fights as possible.

Mayweather needs to resist the temptation to jump weight classes (a temptation to which far too many fighters have succumbed) and unify the Junior Welterweight division. There is plenty of time for Pretty Boy Floyd to make a name for himself at 147 and above. Now is the time of the Junior Welterweights. Now is the time for Mayweather v. Hatton.
