PICS & VIDEO: Beyonce Kicks Off SOLD-OUT 4-Nights-Only Concerts At Roseland Ballroom

If you couldn't get tix to one of Beyonce's New York concerts at Roseland ballroom, you're not alone.  The "Best Thing You Never Had" singer kicked off her first of 4 nights of fabness last night to a sold out, standing room only crowd.  And if you weren't one of the many there, we've got pics and video inside....

The stormy NYC weather didn't stop the stans last night.  Bey performed her entire 4 album (and a few of her past hits like "Irreplaceable & "Single Ladies") for the lucky ticket buyers.  And even got some pre-concert words of encouragement from her hubby Jay-Z, who was partying down in Miami last night at LIV to promote Watch The Throne.

Jay told Power 99's Lorenzo Thomas yesterday that Beyonce is "the second coming" of Michael Jackson. *hiding from jungle-like e-fight that's about to pop off because of his statement*  He said the hard work and dedication she puts into her shows makes him want to work harder at his craft.  PEEP THE AUDIO HERE where he starts gushing about his wife around the 9:50 mark.

A memorial is planned on Monday (August 15) for the five people who were killed on Saturday night when a stage collapsed at a Sugarland concert at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis. According to the event's official website, the fair will reopen on Monday with Governor Mitch Daniels in attendance at the memorial service.

The memorial is set to take place at the Free Stage; the website also laid out plans for the remainder of events during the Indiana State Fair. The Chicago Tribune reports strong wind gusts may have contributed to the stage's collapse at the show, which was attended by upwards of 12,000 people. USA Today reports that a severe thunderstorm warning had been issued in the hours leading up to the concert.

In addition to the five who died, four dozen people were injured in the incident, which took place before the headliners took the stage. Sugarland are currently on tour with Sara Bareilles. "The accident at the Indiana State Fair felt like a bad dream," Bareilles wrote on her site. "The weather changed in a matter of minutes and the stage collapsed in a matter of seconds."

Sugarland's frontwoman, Jennifer Nettles, released a lengthy statement on the band's official site about the incident. "I am so moved. Moved by the grief of those families who lost loved ones. Moved by the pain of those who were injured and the fear of their families. Moved by the great heroism as I watched so many brave Indianapolis fans actually run toward the stage to try and help lift and rescue those injured. Moved by the quickness and organization of the emergency workers who set up the triage and tended to the injured," she wrote. "There are no words to process a moment of this magnitude and gravity. There are only prayers for peace in the hearts of the bereft, and prayers of thanksgiving for those who were spared or safe. A piece of our heart is left in that grandstand. May God provide peace and healing to the people of Indianapolis."

The statement continued, "We wish to pass along our most sincere thanks for the messages of love, prayer and support from our fan family. We'll post any further updates here as they become available."

Mary J. Blige Dishes On Her 'Crazy' Led Zeppelin Covers

'I've listened to their music since I was a child,' says the R&B diva, who recorded 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love.'

You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.

In early February, reports began circulating that Blige had re-recorded Zeppelin's classic "Stairway to Heaven," working with Travis Barker, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and guitarist Steve Vai on the track, which is slated to appear on the international reissue of her Stronger With Each Tear album, due Monday.

But after she had recorded "Stairway," Blige continued to get the Led out, covering another Zeppelin classic — the thunderous "Whole Lotta Love" — for the album too. And when MTV News caught up with her on the Essence Black Women in Hollywood red carpet, she told us all about channeling her inner Robert Plant for the tracks, a process that came much easier than you'd probably imagine.

"I did Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' — it's crazy," she said. "I am a Led Zeppelin fan. I'm not going to say I've been to their concerts, but I've listened to their music since I was a child, and it's always moved me, especially 'Stairway to Heaven,' and 'Whole Lotta Love' is just fun."

Blige also said she recorded another new song — a "club record" called "I Can't Wait" — for the re-release. And while it's only slated to hit shelves outside the U.S., she hopes her fans will get a chance to hear all the new songs pretty soon.

"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.

Refreshed and ready for their imminent return to action after a two-and-a-half week interval since Laguna Seca, the MotoGP class returns to the track on Friday morning for the opening session of the Cardion ab Grand Prix Ceské republiky.

 

 

The world’s most famous riders have taken part in GP events in Brno since 1930, where up until 1982 they would race through the villages and western parts of the city on a road track named after the first Czechoslovak President - T.G. Masaryk. A new circuit was built during the 1980s with the aim of attracting Formula 1 to Czechoslovakia, and in 1987 it played host to the FIM Czech Grand Prix.
