Britney Spears is going to hit you one more time, Las Vegas. A bunch more times actually. Caesars Entertainment said Sunday that the singer is adding more than 30 dates to her Las Vegas residency. "Britney: Piece of Me" will now play shows in October through December and February. Shows have also been added in August and September. Tickets to the new shows go on sale Friday. The Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino says the first round of shows in August and September sold out. The 31-year-old Spears kicked off the two-year residency late last year around the time she released her eighth album, Britney Jean.
Former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page was honored with a doctoral degree from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Page delivered the commencement address Saturday to nearly 900 graduates of the private college known for its music program, telling them that their love of music will sustain them through the unexpected twists and turns that lie ahead. The school also presented honorary doctorates to Motown and R&B songwriter Valerie Simpson, jazz pianist and educator Geri Allen, and American Music Program youth jazz orchestra founder Thara Memory. Page was the guitarist for the English band that fused blues, R&B and rock 'n' roll for a new hard-rock sound in the 1970s. It disbanded in 1980.
