Criss Angel is not a rip off Houdini but a tribute artist. Or, something like that. Despite lending “Believe” its name, I doubt Houdini could have mustered the concentration to sit through the show at Luxor. There is a funny blog item from Phoenix New Times about Criss Angel’s escape a few days ago from [...]

Roger Waters has announced a return to live performance of Pink Floyd’s epic “The Wall.” Billboard Magazine is reporting that the tour will hit the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 26.
