MUSIC MOGUL RICHARD BRANSON HONOURED
[Aceshowbiz, 11/29/2010]
Airline tycoon and music mogul Sir Richard Branson has been awarded the prestigious German Media Prize, previously handed to former U.S. president Bill Clinton and the Dalai Lama. The British billionaire has been invited to receive the prize on January 24, 2011, when German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle will make a speech in his honour. Branson, who co-founded Virgin Records in 1972, has since become world-renowned for his Virgin brand, which now encompasses record shops, digital magazines, an airline and even Virgin Galactic, which aims to offer commercial space travel by 2012. Previous winners of the award also include former German leaders Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schroeder, former South African leader Nelson Mandela, Queen Rania of Jordan, U.S. tennis star Andre Agassi and his wife Steffi Graf and Angela Merkel, the current German chancellor.

KEITH URBAN ANNOUNCES 2011 "GET CLOSER" TOUR
[AP, 11/25/2010]
Keith Urban is trying to make his fans and his family happy this summer. The multi-platinum country star is hitting the road June 16, 2011 on a 44-city arena tour in the U.S. with a schedule that gives him time to be with his wife, actress Nicole Kidman, and their 2-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose. "The thing is with balance, it's never achieved. It's just maintained," Urban said of his family and career demands. "It's maintained based on Nic's and my ability to stay present and make the adjustments as we go." Urban told The Associated Press that he purposely structures a tour so he's not gone for months at a time. He plays for two or three nights, goes home for a few days, then heads back out again. Urban said the short breaks make his shows better, too, because he really wants to be there. "I think we should never be going through the motions up there if we can avoid it," he said. The "Get Closer" tour kicks off in Mobile, Ala., and will make stops in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Nashville. The tour will feature a new stage production and songs from his just-released sixth album "Get Closer," as well as some of his 11 No. 1 hits, including "Somebody Like You," "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me," and "Better Life." Kidman has had plenty of opportunities to watch her husband perform live, most recently at the CMA Awards earlier this month. "He very much is about giving back to people," she said. "I see his love, and I see what he gives to the fans, and I love that." Urban plans to release international tour dates and opening acts later.
 
STEVE HARVEY TO TOUR WITH GOSPEL STAR KIRK FRANKLIN
[AP, 11/25/2010]
Steve Harvey may want to watch what he says on his upcoming comedy tour: He'll have Kirk Franklin by his side at every stop. The comedian and the gospel star announced Tuesday, November 23, 2010 that they're heading out on the road together starting in March, 2011. In a statement, Harvey says it will be fun - and a challenge - trying to get through a clean show. Franklin sums it up this way: "Steve brings the jokes and I bring that Jesus!" Harvey is the new host of the TV game show "Family Feud." Next month, he releases the book "Straight Talk No Chaser," the follow-up to his best-selling "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man." Franklin recently released his own book called "The Blueprint." The tour begins in Atlanta on March 19, 2011.
