Perez Reviews: Beautiful, The Carole King Musical

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 12:29 PM PST

Beautiful lives up to its name and then some!

The new musical based on the life of and featuring the music of legendary songwriter Carole King is a non-stop hit parade and the perfect example of a jukebox musical done right!

If you enjoyed Motown the musical, you will love Beautiful!

Both shows wisely choose to tell real-life stories instead of crafting one together out of the songs, which doesn't always work. For every Mama Mia you have two We Will Rock Yous and a Spice Girls musical.

Beautiful has heart, soul, humor and moves along at a brisk pace! And it is all set to the iconic songs of Carole King!

You forget, also, how many songs she wrote before she became famous as a solo artist!

One Fine Day! Up On The Roof! The LOCO MOTION! And so many more!

The beautiful music, arranged beautifully and beautifully sound-engineered, is the star of the show. BUT, the show's star, Jessie Mueller, is such a star!

Jessie Mueller is the future of Broadway! Right now!

Her voice is special! Her tone! Such a warmth to it! And range! So special!

AND, what we especially loved, is that we got to see her shine in The Mystery Of Edwin Drood, where she played a hilarious role in a super comedic part. So it was very nice to see her do a total 180 and play a normal person and showcasing a different, more heartfelt acting.

She was so beautiful!

Anika Larsen and Jarrod Spector were two other standouts from the show and we are running right now to iTunes to download Carole King's greatest hits!

We suggest you do the same, but only after you buy tickets to see Beautiful on Broadway!

Beyoncé and Jay Z Are Opening The Grammys With Drunk In Love!

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 12:29 PM PST

We totally called it!

With the Grammys almost here, we're getting more and more deets about the show.

Like the fact that Beyoncé and Jay Z are going to open up with Drunk In Love, according to a new report!

It's going to be sexy gold! We can just feel it!

There wasn't any other info about the performance, but that's okay. We love a good surprise!

P.S. CLICK HERE for all the deets from Bey's stylist!

Usher Jets To Panama To Have A Sit-Down With Justin Bieber!

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 12:02 PM PST

Someone has to be able to get him to listen!

Usher has been one of Justin Bieber's mentors from the beginning of his young music career, so he flew down to Panama to be with his mentee.

And he wasn't alone!

Scooter Braun, JB's manager, and childhood friend Ryan Butler accompanied the 35-year-old singer to try and talk with Justin.

A Belieber shared a couple pics of herself with Justin and Usher, blowing their cover, but they clearly had bigger things to deal with!

Like Justin's alleged drug addiction!

Apparently, the meeting between them all looked very similar to an intervention.

Maybe they can finally get Justin to accept that he needs help!

Britney Spears Isn’t The Queen Of Vegas… Yet!

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 11:19 AM PST

She's on her way, but not quite there.

Recently, a report came out that Britney Spears' new Las Vegas show had higher ticket sales than any other, including the likes of Celine Dion and Elton John!

Welp, it turns out the report was flawed.

The info was only taken from StubHub, not allllll of the places that sold tickets to the show. So, people did some digging and Yahoo Music came up with the real stats:

"We contacted Billboard's BoxScore, which confirms her first four shows — on Dec. 27, 28, 30 and 31 — all sold-out with total attendance of 17,803 and gross of $2,470,021, or an average of 4,450 tickets and $617,505 gross per show.

By comparison, Elton John's "Million Dollar Piano" at Caesars Palace sold out all 14 of its shows in its recently wrapped seventh leg that ran from Sept. 18-Oct. 12, selling 57,889 tickets and pulling in $8,930,160 for an average of 4,134 tickets and $637,868 gross per show.

Celine Dion's four shows at Caesars Palace from Dec. 30-Jan. 5 all sold out, selling 17,004 tickets and grossing $2,869,070 — an average of 4,251 tickets and $717,267 in sales per show.

Rod Stewart completed a nine-show run at Caesars Palace in November, with three sell-outs, selling a total of 33,213 tickets and totaling $4,091,540 —an average of 3,690 tickets and $454,615 gross per show.

Shania Twain, who also played Caesars Palace, wrapped a 10-show run in late November and early December, selling 30,966 tickets and grossing $3,504,748 for an average of 3,096 tickets and $350,474 gross per show."

That's a whole lot of numbers, and a whole lot of ca$$$h!

But it's still easy to see that Brit shouldn't have a problem being one of the top acts, especially since she's off to such a fab start!

Selena Gomez: Man Arrested For Lurking Around Her House!

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 10:45 AM PST

This is scary stuff!

You never want your safety to feel threatened, but that is just what Selena Gomez is dealing with today.

A man was arrested Saturday morning for trespassing at the 21-year-old singer's house!

Reportedly, one of Selenita's family members called the police when they noticed the 19-year-old slinking around their home. When the cops got there, the teen told them he wanted to see Miz Gomez in person.

Ugh! This is totally creepy!

Whether or not Selena was home at the time is foggy, but we just hope this isn't too traumatizing and that she can still feel safe in her own home.

Grammys 2014: 10 Most Electrifying Performances Of All Time

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 10:20 AM PST

What a way to dazzle !

Pink only performed at the Grammys 2010 for five minutes, but she changed the awards ceremony forever!

The scantily clad songstress soared across the audience in a trapeze as she belted the inspiring Glitter In The Air.

We still tear up every time we watch it!

No act will make our hearts go aflutter quite like Pink did that evening, but at least one of the 20 acts this year are bound to get the audience on their feet for a standing ovation.

While we wait for the once-in-a-lifetime evening to commence, let's take a look at the most goosebump-worthy performances to ever hit the Grammys stage!

Jonah Hill’s SNL Monologue Is Crashed By Leonardo DiCaprio!

Posted: 26 Jan 2014 09:59 AM PST

zOMG YAASSSS!

You always hope that there will be special guests on Saturday Night Live, but sometimes they still take your breath away.

We were all set to have Jonah Hill make us laugh our butts off as he hosted SNL for the third time!

But then things took a turn when The Wolf of Wallstreet actor started trashing co-star Leonardo DiCaprio!

That forced Leo to come out from backstage, making everyone's life a little, err, harder! Ha!

Ch-ch-check out the Titanic silliness (below)!

Juliette Ashby was personally picked by Amy Winehouse to be on her record label. And we can see why the iconic Back To Black singer thought her fellow Brit has a very promising future!

Ashby's voice is special. It is instantly hypnotic and instantly memorable!

We could hear her sing anything!!!

In the song No Regrets, Juliette explores some reggae rhythms, something Winehouse was a big fan of.

Check it out above!
