Earlier this week it was announced that A Perfect Circle will be getting back together for a series of live shows this fall. APC's Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel called in to KISW/Seattle's BJ Shea Morning Experience yesterday morning to discuss the tour. During the interview Maynard was asked if there are plans to record a new APC album and said, "Maybe. Personally I’m not really into albums anymore. Might be more going back to the singles. The days of the singles market makes a lot more sense at this point. We have no label, so neither Billy nor I are really into kicking down hundreds of thousands of dollars to record a record and put it out." The complete interview can be heard here.

The band will play two nights in each city on the tour, performing their self-titled "Blue Album" in its entirety one night and 1996's fan-favorite Pinkerton the next night. Weezer has a few scattered tour dates announced throughout September and October, in support of the new album Hurley, which just landed this week. As part of the promotion for Hurley, the band "took over" YouTube by teaming with a number of YouTube "celebrities" for over a dozen videos online. In the first 24 hours, the band's "invasion" of YouTube generated over five million views.

In a new interview with Reuters, Jennifer Hudson said she is in the early stages of working on a new record, saying she wants her new songs to be "more flexible, more diverse." She added, "I definitely want it to be more personal than the first album, and just more me -- whatever that is, I don't know yet but I'm going to find out." Hudson is promoting the Weight Watchers 'Lose For Good' campaign, after the singer/actress lost five dress sizes through Weight Watchers. A new J-Hud album is expected in early 2011.
