Legendary Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer

Legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a spokeswoman for the famed Brit said in a statement Today.

“Andrew Lloyd Webber has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The condition is in its very early stages,” said a statement from public relations firm Brown Lloyd James. “Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year.”

Lloyd Webber, 61, recently announced plans for a sequel to his immensely-popular Broadway musical “Phantom of the Opera,” called “Love Never Dies.” He said the sequel resulted from “unfinished business.” The production is scheduled to open on London’s West End in March before invading New York’s Great White Way in November.

Lloyd Webber’s other great musical hits include “Cats,” ‘‘Jesus Christ Superstar,” and “Evita.” In 1992, he was knighted and later named to Britain’s House of Lords in 1997.

New Details On Lady Gaga’s Upcoming Tour ‘The Monster Ball’

Lady Gaga revealed new details on her upcoming tour entitled The Monster Ball to Rolling Stone. She also discussed the re-release of her debut album The Fame Monster.

Can you talk about the songs on The Fame Monster?
This is a new album. It’s eight songs, I could have put more songs on it, but I just decided not to because I thought they fit beautifully together. I’m really excited about all my new work, and I’ve been going through some really wonderful times and some really rough times all at once, so it’s been really good for my artistry. On the re-release, I wrote this song called “Speechless,”which I think is the best song I’ve ever written. It’s about my dad, it’s a really beautiful ballad. It’s piano-driven, and there’s no beat on it, it’s all live instruments. I produced it with Ron Fair, so we did a full live orchestra, recorded everything with live drums, live guitar and bass with me playing piano. We got that really organic, delicious feeling.

What was the thinking behind The Monster Ball?
I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see. So we’re playing a few nights in a row. I’ve got super loyal fans, so I feel this tremendous obligation to take care of them.

You said it was a pop-electro opera.
Yeah. It’s the first ever, so it’s really whatever I want it to be. The theatrics and story elements are in the style of an opera. Imagine if you could take the sets of an opera, which are very grand and very beautiful, and put them through a pop-electro lens. The design of the show is very, very forward, very, very innovative. I’ve been thinking about ways to play with the shape of this stage and change the way that we watch things. So what I’ve done is I’ve designed a stage with Haus of Gaga that is essentially a frame with forced perspective, and the frame is put inside the stage. It’s got kind of a triangular inset, like a diamond, and everywhere we’re playing, the dimensions fit this box that I’m bringing, so it’s this giant box that fits into every show. So no matter where I go, my fans get the same experience. So often you go into theaters and there’s ambient light flying in from all sorts of places, and the audience is in different spots, and the stage is in different shapes and lengths and widths and depths, so this is a way for me to control all the light and all of the different elements of the show. The theme of the show is evolution.

Were there elements of the Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West that were going to be in The Monster Ball?
I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together.

Lil Wayne Pleads Guilty To Gun Charge And He Might Serve Some Jail Time

Lil Wayne is about to join T.I. in the Big House. The Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession in New York City on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence. The charges stem from a gun NYPD officials say was found on his tour bus in Manhattan in 2007.

Wayne previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3½ years in prison upon conviction. The news comes as the “Lollipop” hitmaker prepares to welcome a son with R&B star Nivea — his third child born in the past year!

Wayne, 27, is also scheduled for trial in Arizona on felony drug possession and weapons charges. He has pleaded not guilty in that case. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing. The somber star did not speak as he left court.
