For the second time in two years, Busta Rhymes has let down Australian fans. This time the blame is outrageous demands were made by his management which prompted the cancellation of the concert which the promoter, PDA Touring has stated.

Inside sources state that Busta Rhymes never intended to perform for his Sydney Australian fans even though it was confirmed and then listed on his official website.

Does it have to do with his past tour in 2004, and not making sure that his entourage had proper papers to enter the state? Because of the incident it led them to being detained at the airport for hours because of their immigration issues and Busta Rhymes left without any notice leaving fans unhappy.

Even though Busta Rhymes was a no show this time again, fans will receive all monies due to them.

Does this dance look familiar to a dance they did in the juke joint back in the days? Well whether you know it or not it’s back reinvented and is called “Chicken Noodle Soup.”

A 19-year-old Harlem-based deejay and producer named Troy “Webster” Ryan is said to be the creative mind behind the sensational song “Chicken Noodle Soup”. The song is inspired by a dance, where Webstar recruited 16-year-old Bianca “Young B.” Dupree to write and rap the rhymes.

“Chicken Noodle Soup” began getting noticed in uptown parties where Webstar was deejaying this past spring. It then took off after June 22 when he played at Rucker Park in Harlem during a basketball tournament held yearly. Because the crowd loved the song so much, Hot 97′s DJ Enuff told Webster, “I need that record”, then six weeks later, “Chicken Noodle Soup” was playing coast to coast. The song spanned across New York, Atlanta, Houston and other cities. Since then the song is getting lipsynced by fans on numerous websites such as YouTube and Google Video and is receiving thousands of video remakes which is generating millions of views. Because of this everyone is calling this the new media way of breaking records to the cyber world.

The hit song comes off Young B. and Webstar’s album which is expected to hit stores on September 26.

While on Broadway, Usher is currently playing the role of Billy Flynn in the Broadway play Chicago. The play originally opened on Broadway in 1975. The play has been running non-stop since 1996 and in November will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Usher will be playing on Broadway until October 1.

“I decided to become an entertainer many years ago. I didn’t really know what that meant until I began to look at other people who had become the motivating force for me to do what I do”, states Usher.

After looking at such legends as Sammy Davis Jr., Ben Vereen and Bob Fosser, Usher knew that he wanted to be a triple threat: dance, sing and act like they did. When he gets around 40 years old, Usher says he wants to say that he experienced it all and had fun doing it.

When asked about failing doing Broadway, Usher says he isn’t worrying about failure while doing Broadway since he believes the person who dwells on his failure can’t see the lesson in it. “You have to become greater. You have to get up and keep going if you do fail. I can’t say that I’ve failed at anything because it has all been an experience, a journey. Entertainment is that”, states Usher.

After doing this his next plan is set on a successful label Ush Records which he says is priority and he hopes to get back to the studio as soon as he’s done to get the next album.
