Demi Lovato's Garden City Show;Selena Gomez in Studio City

The summer solstice is Saturday.Happy Summer,dear readers.Many artists are currently on tour,such as The Rolling Stones and Demi Lovato,21.Demi performs a free show tomorrow at 7 pm at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City,New York.It's sponsored by Microsoft to celebrate the Grand Opening of their new store at the Mall.The Grand Opening ceremony is at 10 am.The concert gates open at 5 pm.Accuweather is calling for partly cloudy skies Saturday with a low of 64F and a high of 79,so no problem in that department for the Northeast parking lot concert.At least 1900 tickets for the event were being distributed at the Mall on Friday night.
To get an idea of what Demi is like in concert you can check out the video of "Really Don't Care" from her current Neon Lights Tour featuring Cher Lloyd.The song is the new single from her latest album DEMI.
The new Microsoft store is offering a free weekly YouthSpark summer camp for kids 8-13.They can learn to build websites and video games,direct movies and snap perfect photos,according to Microsoft.The store is located at:
Roosevelt Field Mall
630 Old Country Road,Space #1140A
Garden City,New York 11530

Demi's close friend and fellow Latina Selena Gomez is featured here in "My Dilemma" with lyrics.It's from her Selena Gomez&The Scene album When The Sun Comes Down (2011).She turns 22 on 22 July.The Grand Prairie,Texas native still visits her home state and has some real Mexican food.Monday,however,she was seen shopping in Studio City,California in her midriff-baring blue knit and distressed jeans.The chauffered star also sported gradient sunglasses and skyhigh nude stilettos.*
The Rolling Stones have changed remarkably little in the past eight years,which is just the way their fans want it.If anything,frontman Mick Jagger looks better than he did in 2006.A graduate of The London School of Economics,he seems to be good at foreign languages.The Stones still appeal to a diverse audience of all ages.

But she's beautiful,though"

Easter Edition:The Rolling Stones;Demi Lovato;Madonna

Top of this week's blog is The Rolling Stones' "Postcard From Asia" promo for their current 14 On Fire tour,which resumes in Europe in about a month's time.The remainder of the tour's dates are posted at the end of the promo,including the just-released makeup dates for Australia-New Zealand.The tour has been in recess since 17 March because of the death of Mick Jagger's girlfriend,the fashion designer L'Wren Scott.
Coupled with the promo is "Sway,"an officially authorised video from a 2005 concert in Austin,Texas.
"Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway"
This song is the second track on the "Sticky Fingers" LP of 1971.The album was the first Stones LP to hit number one on both the UK and US charts.Pop artist Andy Warhol conceived of the actual zipper on the vinyl record's cover.
The 2005 video features two guitar solos by Ronnie Wood,but the studio recording of 1971 featured their lead guitarist of that era,Mick Taylor.
The new Australia-New Zealand dates are:
25 Oct-Adelaide Oval
29 Oct-Perth Arena
1 Nov-Perth Arena
5 Nov-Melbourne Rod Laver Arena
8 Nov-Macedon Hanging Rock

Pablo Larrazabal of Spain got a lot more than he bargained for in the Maybank Malaysian Open Friday at the Kuala Lumpur Golf&Country Club.A swam of angry hornets chased him into a lake,stinging the golfer more than 20 times.He dried himself off and a doctor gave him some injections so he could continue playing.He indeed did so,scoring a birdie at the 14th hole.Englishman Lee Westwood scored a second round 13 under par 66 to top the leader board.*
Happy Easter,dear readers.

Demi Lovato;Selena Gomez;Michigan State

Today's videos feature two American women who happen to be close friends.Demi(Demetria) Lovato and Selena Gomez are both 21,and both are of Mexican descent.
Lovato is a native of Albuquerque,New Mexico,while Gomez hails from Grand Prairie,Texas.
The two Christians met as child stars on the "Barney&Friends" TV set,then graduated to the Disney Channel,starring together in the TV movie "Princess Protection Program."Lovato is currently appearing in the fifth season of "Glee,"and Gomez has been doing film work in "Behaving Badly,"scheduled for a September 2014 release.
They have a huge fan base,with many being fans of both artists.Both stars have been in rehab for one reason or another.
Of the two,Lovato is the power singer,said to have a full voice range of three octaves above middle C.It's a talent that commands so much respect,I wanted to share at least two of her videos."Give Your Heart A Break" is a live TV performance from 2012 of Lovato's colossal hit from her third album "Unbroken,"while "Let It Go" is the official single from the Disney blockbuster "Frozen."It was posted to YouTube four months ago and had 112,898,696 views as of Thursday afternoon.
Gomez's "Come&Get It" from her first solo LP "Stars Dance"(2013)is fascinating in that it draws on Indian influences.The video affords a spectacular natural setting for Gomez's sultry hit,which had 225,046,104 views.The album debuted at number one on the Billboard chart.*
In NCAA men's basketball,number one Virginia was sent home by number four Michigan State Firday night at Madison Square Garden.The Spartans slipped by the Cavaliers 61-59,led by Brandon Davison's 24 points.Joe Harris and Malcolm Brogden scored 17 points each for Virginia.The Cavs were slightly less accurate with their free throws.
