Chris Brown Denied Entry Into Canada, Cancels Tour Dates

The tour was scheduled to hit the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec on Tuesday night (February 24) and then the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario tonight (February 25).

Both shows have been canceled "due to immigration issues" the concert promoter Live Nation told CBS News. Several media outlets also reported that Brown confirmed the cancelation via Twitter but later deleted the tweets.

Brown reportedly tweeted, "The good people of the Canadian government wouldn't allow me entry. I'll be back this summer and will hopefully see all my Canadian fans!"

The next scheduled date on the tour is Friday (February 27th) in Rosemont, Ill at the Allstate Arena and the trek's final date is set for March 16th in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center, according to Brown's Facebook page. See the dates here.

Adele Sets New Milestone With Blockbuster Album

Kelly Clarkson Clears Up Joke and Release Piece By Piece Title Track

Clarkson recently was interviewed by BBC Radio 1 and said, "I honestly would collaborate with a lot of people, but everyone usually says no. I'm not kidding you.

"I have legitimately asked several people that I'm not going to call out...Sometimes I feel like I have the plague, or leprosy, they're like, 'If you get too close...' I don't know."

Now she says that she was only joking and called out the media for "twisting" her comments. "Ok, I was making a joke about people not singing with me!" she tweeted. "The press is really twisting this comment just FYI! No big deal. New story please."

The real story for Clarkson is that she is promoting the release of her new album by revealing a new song from the effort each day. On Tuesday she posted a stream of the title track and began selling it on iTunes. She said that the new track is the "most personal song on the album." Check out the stream here.

Sean tells GQ magazine, "It means a lot. First of all it is darker than any album I've ever done. And I went through some dark times just like we all do, with relationships, personal relationships, romantic relationships, creatively.

He adds, "I feel like I had to dig myself out of a hole creatively and bounce back hard. But throughout all of it, despite all the dark and crazy times I've been through, I still feel this is paradise."

Christina Aguilera Impersonates Britney Spears, Shakira and Cher

We now believe Aguilera doing this impression is the best part of waking up. The Voice judge then took on Britney Spears, who Fallon jokes, "You know Britney Spears, right?"

Oh, does she know Britney Spears, specifically Britney covering the classic children's rhyme "This Little Piggy" to the tune of "�Baby One More Time."

After a little chuckle, Aguilera started into the song. The words "wee-wee all the way home" never sounded so good. Aguilera also became Shakira, Shakira, singing the Golden Girls Theme. Thank you for being able to do this impression Christina. Watch it here.

Kimmel Gives The World A Kenny G and Warren G Mashup

But we have to admit, we wish we thought of this one: Warren and Kenny G. Yes, Warren G, stepbrother of Dr. Dre, former member of 213 and proud representative of the G-Funk movement of the '90s. And yes, Kenny G, adult contemporary and smooth jazz saxophone icon.

When they did Kenny G's 1987 mega hit "Songbird" with Warren G free-styling fierce rhymes on top of Kenny's easy-listening classic, they killed it. No, just kidding. They did the Warren G/Nate Dogg 1994 gem "Regulate," and it was pretty amazing regardless.

Fittingly, Nate Dogg's recorded vocals were used--he passed away in 2011 due to complications from multiple strokes--and Kenny G complemented Warren G and his band with his really, really, smooth sax lines.

Check out the mashup here.

Falling In Reverse Parodies 'The Voice' in 'Just Like You' Video

Nick Jonas Covers Kanye West's 'Only One'

Jonas puts a blue-eyed soul spin on West's ode to his family, performing a stripped-down version by himself with just a keyboard. Jonas tweeted to West to announce the song's released, saying, "I love this song so much I had to sing it myself."

Given Jonas' more recent career shift in the soulful R&B slant, a cover of "Only One" makes sense. Maybe a rendition of "FourFiveSeconds" is not too far down the road? Stay tuned to find out. Check out the Kanye cover here.

Wait there is more!
