Twain's new tour dates, following the close of the first leg on Aug. 23, will take place Sept. 12 in Spokane, Wash., at Spokane Arena. The jaunt will also include multiple shows in Twain's native Canada.

The final scheduled date at this moment, barring a third leg added, is Oct. 11 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario. As mentioned to Radio.com earlier this year, Twain's tour will be different than what she gave fans during her Las Vegas residency.

'I'm certainly going to change some of the material up," she said. 'There will be some things I wasn't doing in the Still the One show. It still will be the music everyone is familiar with. I want everyone to hear the hits. When I go to a show I want to hear songs that I know. So I won't be introducing any of the new songs from the new music in this concert.

'It really is a rock meets country show. It's going to have a lot of punch and edge. I just feel like I want to go out there with a bang."

Gavin DeGraw will open the majority of fall tour dates. Read more including the tour dates here.

Liam and Noel Gallagher Fighting About One Direction

If you recall, earlier this week Noel told Rolling Stone that Zayn Malik didn't fully think through the decision to leave the band. In his words: "You can be f-ing anything that moves and gettin' paid half a million dollars a week, you f-in' idiot. You want to be a normal 22-year-old? Have you met any normal 22-year-olds? They're f-in' s--for-brains. What are you talking about, you f-in' idiot?"

Perhaps recognizing the extremity of his brother's reaction, Liam has weighed in on the subject, essentially telling his brother to find a new topic to sound off on (which won't take long).

"Hey NG leave those 1d kids alone LG," he tweeted, winning the hearts of Zayn fans worldwide. Read more here.

Couple Get Engaged On Stage At Ed Sheeran Concert

"I never do this," Sheeran told the crowd, explaining that this guy in the third row had been holding a sign up the whole show asking to get onstage with him. How could he not invite them up?

"I have no idea what's going to happen next," Sheeran said. Though, we have a sneaking suspicion he did. The man and the women made their way onstage, giving Sheeran a hug. The guy then shared a sweet speech with the crowd about how beautiful and wonderful his girlfriend is before getting down on one knee and popping the question. Spoiler, she said yes.

Sheeran, who was off on the side of the stage while the man made his move, later posted the video of the proposal on Twitter. "Proposal tonight in Austin," he wrote. "I might've welled up, but don't say anything." Read more here.

'Supergirl' Series Picked Up By CBS

In the storyline, she escaped Krypton's destruction years ago but has been hiding her superpowers for her entire life on Earth. Now, at age 24, she decides to embrace her powers to become a superhero like her cousin Kal-El, also known as Superman.

The cast also includes former Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart as Cat Grant (a Daily Planet reporter in the Superman mythos); Chyler Leigh (Not Another Teen Movie) as Alexandra 'Alex" Danvers; Mehcad Brooks (Desperate Housewives, season 2) as James Olsen (famously Superman's best friend); and David Harewood (Homeland) as Hank Henshaw.

Henshaw is a character that ultimately becomes one of Superman's enemies as the "Cyborg Superman."

Because Benoist's Whiplash co-star Miles Teller is playing Reed Richards in this summer's Fantastic Four reboot. Read more here.

Cher Still Thinks David Letterman Is A...

On Wednesday night (May 6), Cher dropped in to remind Letterman that he's still the thing she called him back in 1986. The singer stepped in on his monologue to bid him farewell, in that special Cher way she has. "You know, Dave, for a number of years, there's something that I've always wanted to get straight between us."

"Once, a long time ago, on the first show [I appeared on], I called you an a-hole," Cher said, illicting a huge laugh from the crowd. "Oh yes, I remember that. That was how many years ago? 29 years ago," Letterman recalled. "I always took it with a grain of salt."

"No, you didn't," Cher saucily replied. "Remember the People magazine? You kept mentioning it in the People magazine. You were upset. I got you, it was a little nah nah. This is one thing that I really mean from the bottom of my heart, I'm not kidding, no bulls-: I really love you and I'm going to miss you."

The pair hugged and Cher gave him a peck on the lips. After the crowd quieted and Letterman called the gesture "very sweet of you," Cher responded with a last jab. "And you're still an a-shole." See it here.

Mumford & Sons Perform 9-Song Set For Letterman

"Thank you so much for being here," frontman Marcus Mumford told the audience. "This feels like an album launch party or something. It's such a relief to finally have that f-ing out."

Suffering from a bit of a cough, Mumford took a sip from a cup and joked, "I'm gonna need a lot more whiskey for this, actually," as he launched into "Ditmas," a track from the new album, Wilder Mind.

Singled Out: Kosha Dillz's Span Hebrish

"Span Hebrish" was created in LA although the producer Shuko is in Germany. I had been a staple for me to make something with Hebrew in my albums and the engineer (who produced my last album) Jesse Shatkin recorded it.

I went on to perform the song for the next five years is a key part of my stage show. Only recently was I in Sundance film Festival with director at Jansen what I meant in Amsterdam , and we decided to start shooting a music video. We met at a show I was opening up for action Bronson.

Since we were at Sundance we were able to get Louis Lombardi from The Sopranos, Entourage and 24 for a cameo. He was at a few shows for us during the week. Later on I brought Ed out to LA to help finish the vision of the video and five years later we reintroduced to something visual community.

The point of the song was to be impressive without really saying much I'm more or less talk like little Wayne just using wordplay to impress people but I have exceptions the lyrics are quite dumb and fun, yet the beat shows the dancing is the best way to feel a song. The rabbi isn't really a Rabbi too. He is actually an r n b rapper from SLC that has Mormon parents.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song and video listen and watch for yourself here and learn more about Kosha Dillz right here!

Wait there is more!
