ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE

Jimmy Buffett fans rejoice. His new musical, "Escape to Margaritaville," makes its pre-Broadway run in Chicago starting November 2017. The show, which will feature both original songs and classics, tells "the story of tropical island resort and its part-time bartender, part-time singer, full-time charmer who thinks he's got life all figured out. Until a beautiful career-minded tourist steals his heart." Ticket information will be released later.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE + THE TENNESSEE KIDS

Streaming on Netflix starting Wednesday is "Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids," a concert film focusing on the last two show in Las Vegas on Timberlake's "20/20 Experience World Tour" In January 2015. Critically acclaimed director Jonathan Demme ("Silence of the Lambs") directs this behind-the-scenes documentary focusing on Timberlake, his band and dancers as they bring the top-selling tour to an end.

I saw the show at United Center in 2015 and it was fantastic. I have no doubt this concert film will be too.

Check out the trailer below.

KIM KARDASHIAN FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST WEBSITE

The rumors have been flying that Kim Kardashian faked her Paris hotel robbery on Oct. 2 for publicity, but Kim K is having none of it. She has filed a lawsuit against MediaTakeOut.com which alleged that Kardashian not only faked the robbery, but also filed a false insurance claim. Kim is seeking, general, special, punitive and exemplary damages which is lawyer-speak for a butt-load of money! Stay tuned.
