Journey bringing Ellen on Beaumont tour?

As you all know (if you don't. you've been living under a rock with no TV or radio), Journey is playing Ford Park Sunday!

Enterprise reporter Heather Nolan scored an interview with Journey keyboardist and backup vocalist, Jonathan Cain. (Sorry gang, you'll have to wait to hear Cain's thoughts on Jouney and Steve Perry until Friday's BE.) Cain's publicist also sent Heather a recent shot of the band (pictured right).

While checking out new lead singer Arnel Pineda (or new Steve Perry, as I call him), we realized - much to my amazement - that Ellen Degeneres is touring with Journey!

That woman is everywhere. She has her own daytime show, she's judging American Idol and she's still got time to sing with "Open Arms". I am kidding of course. But my goodness, Ross Valory (far right) is really channelling some Ellen hair in this press shot.

I don't blame him. Everything Ellen touches turns to gold. And let's be honest, it's easier getting into posh clubs and restaurants these days as the face of Cover Girl than "some guy from Journey".

Open Sesame! Sinbad is coming to town

Sinbad, otherwise known as the better half of the "Jingle All the Way" cast (Remember that movie? It starred a very robotic Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh wait, he's always playing robot. We digress.) is coming to the Isle of Capri July 17 and 18. Whoo Hoo!

Tickets are $25 at the Banana Cabana Gift Shop starting June 17. (Seriously, we didn't make up the name of the gift shop. I know it sounds like something your kids would hear about on Hannah Montana.)

And Sindbad is just the start of the 1980s whirlwind blowing into town this summer.

Journey, sans Steve Perry, is hitting Ford Arena in September with Knight Ranger. AWESOME! No ticket date has been announced, but we'll update you fans 'Faithfully' as information is released.
