Quick Updates

Fans who buy premium seats online to No Doubt’s upcoming concerts will get a little something extra with their tickets — a download of the group’s entire catalog, seven albums plus a new song, “Stand and Deliver.”

“American Idol” is about to get a double dose of star power: Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson. The Grammy winners will share the stage as performers during Wednesday’s elimination show.

Amy Winehouse’s plans for a massive American comeback gig were shattered last night after she was denied a work visa. The troubled singer was due to play at the Coachella festival but was told her entry would be blocked because she has been charged with assaulting a fan.

A screenplay written by Tupac Shakur will hit theaters in 2010, Vibe reports. Live 2 Tell, which was to star Tupac, was penned by the rapper during his 1995 prison sentence. The plot revolves around an ex-drug dealer trying to get his life back on track. Afeni Shakur, the rapper’s mother, sold the script to Insomnia Productions, who will start casting in April.

Ashlee Simpson already has a guest spot on CSI:NY. Ashlee will soon have a spot on Melrose Place planned for the CW’s fall schedule. Simpson will play Violet, “a character whose disarming naiveté masks the calculating, shrewd sex kitten within" according to Entertainment Weekly.

Rapper Coolio was busted late last week at LAX Airport on suspicion of possession of drugs, Reuters reports. Airport security found Coolio in possession of crack cocaine before he boarded his Southwest Airlines flight on Friday, March 6th.
