• An American Indian tribe has canceled an Aug. 4 concert by Ted Nugent at its casino. The Coeur d'Alene Tribe on Monday said that the cancellation of the concert at the casino in the northwest Idaho city of Worley was because of the rocker's "racist and hate-filled remarks." The tribe said it booked Nugent without realizing he espoused "racist attitudes and views." The tribe did not detail which of Nugent's specific views it opposes. Officials for Nugent's music management company were out of the office on Monday and not available for comment. Nugent in the past has referred to President Barack Obama as a "subhuman mongrel." Nugent later apologized "for using the street fight terminology of subhuman mongrel." But he maintained that Obama was a "liar" who violates the Constitution.

Shania Twain will end her residency in Las Vegas with a final show Dec. 13, two years after she made a grand Sin City entrance on horseback and began performing at Caesars Palace. Twain announced 16 Shania: Still the One shows in October and December, in addition to summer performances running through Saturday at the Colosseum -- the same venue that hosts fellow Canadian Celine Dion. "I can't thank Las Vegas enough," Twain said in a statement, calling the city "home" and noting an after-school program she launched in a needy Las Vegas school. "I started the first international Shania Kids Can clubhouse in Las Vegas because I love this city, and my time here has given me more than anyone can ever know."

• FX is taking another trip to Fargo, where the cast is changing but some of the characters are not. The network announced Monday that it has renewed the series for a second season with a new cast, time period and crime. Executive producer Noah Hawley told a TV critics' panel in Southern California that season two will be set primarily in North Dakota in 1979 with a younger version of the Lou Solverson character, played by Keith Carradine in season one. The earliest the series will air is fall 2015. FX CEO John Landgraf said that while he thinks casting an Oscar-winner like Billy Bob Thornton helped attract viewers for the first season, he's not sure that it's necessary for season two. "We needed Billy Bob Thornton, but now the show, the title, the tone, the writing ... are the star of that show," Landgraf said.
