Headlines

Rock Me Tour 2002!
The updated concert list, and fans' reports.

We've heard that the concert in Milwaukee on May 1 was sold out in less than an hour after tickets went on sale, but we haven't received an official confirmation on this yet. Unconfirmed messages have also said the same thing for the concerts in Peachtree City, Georgia on May 3 and 4. As long as we haven't received an official note for this, please check with the venue if they still have tickets left.

- Shirley Jones files for divorce
-Legal entanglements might snag future staging of 'Rat Pack' show
- 'I genuinely feel blessed'

According to deanmartin.net a tentative agreement for Ricci Martin (no, not Ricky Martin, the latino star) to play the part of his dad in "The Rat Pack is Back" at the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel And Casino. This has not been finalized with the hotel as of this date, but plans are underway to start April 1st. The show is produced by David Cassidy and Don Reo. 

Somebody whispered in my ear that "The Rat Pack is Back" at the Sahara, has found a new Sinatra impressionist, Michael Civisca. Comments have been overheard that the show's producers, David Cassidy and Don Reo, are still in negotiations.

The list owner of the Rick Springfield chat list talked to Rick concerning a possible release of "EFX" on CD. He said no, which is bad news for both Rick fans, and for David Cassidy fans, who have wanted to hear Rick perform David's songs "Intergalactic Circus of Wonders" and "River In Time". Unless you want to go see him at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, of course. 

We also hear there are chances of an "American Gothic" movie, including the original cast from the TV series. Shaun Cassidy is included in the talks that are still very preliminary. A possible DVD release of the TV series are for the moment put on ice, according to Universal, but a successful movie can make them change their minds.
