His days of drumming for The Beatles are long behind him, but Ringo Starr has adopted a new hobby over the past two decades: Bringing musicians together and going on tour with them.
Starr has announced the lineup and summer tour dates for this year's All Starr Band, which will feature Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie (of Santana fame), Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister), saxophonist Mark Rivera and drummer Gregg Bissonette.
The tour, in support of Starr's new album Ringo 2012, will begin on June 14 in Niagara Falls and end on July 21 in Los Angeles.
Although fellow former Beatles member Paul McCartney's album Kisses On The Bottom hit stores on Tuesday, Starr insists their solo careers are hardly competitive.
"In all honesty, we had dinner just after Christmas together and I didn't know he had [an album] coming out," Starr told Spinner. "I didn't know that it was going to come...

Some of the best concerts result from last-minute ticket purchases, and Wednesday night's performance by Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band at Radio City was no exception. The 2010 All-Starr Band is comprised of Richard Page of Mr. Mister, Rick Derringer of the McCoys, Edgar Winter of White Trash, Gary Wright of Spooky Tooth, and Wally Palmer of The Romantics, all of whom are legends in their own rights. The concert began with Ringo's solo hit, "It Don't Come Easy." Over the course of the next two hours, the All-Starrs each played their two biggest hits, interspersed with solo and Beatles hits from Ringo. Derringer's unmatched guitar skills were showcased by his delivery of "Hang On Sloopy," which was one of the best songs of the night, and one of the few songs to top a Beatles song on the...

On last night's American Idol, returning hopeful Jessica Furney kissed some Brillo-y Simon Cowell bum by singing what Michael Slezak calls "the ghastly 'Footprints in the Sand.'" Simon wrote the song, based on the popular Christian text "Footprints," along with Richard Page, Per Magnusson, and David Kreuger, for Leona Lewis. Victoria Beckham disagrees with Slezak, insisting last night that "It's a beautiful song," which Simon met with a flash of emotion one could perceive as modesty. You know this poem; it tastes like chicken soup and is about a person walking on a beach with God, and then one...

By now, it should be obvious what kinds of things capture "American Idol" lead judge Simon Cowell's attention: very attractive, slightly dippy young women, scrawny teenage boys with slightly raspy voices and emotional backstories, and oh, yeah, people who sing songs he wrote.
The latter category took center stage on Wednesday night's final season-nine audition-round show, as repeat auditioner Jessica Furney traded in her Janis Joplin repertoire from season eight for a little ditty called "Footprints in the Sand," which just happens to be a Simon Cowell joint.
"Ah, that's a Simon co-write," songwriter and fellow judge Kara DioGuardi said when the song choice was announced.
The singer's Denver audition found Furney a bit skinnier and more made-up than last time, and her song choice was clearly a smart one.
