22 April 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »

Glen Campbell is quitting touring, saying his Alzheimer’s has progressed too far for him to keep going. The announcement has been a while in the making; the “Wichita Lineman” singer’s 2012 tour was titled “Goodbye.” But while he's done with performing live, the country legend also has a new record arriving later this year. See You There is out July 30, featuring some revamped versions of some of his most popular songs like “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and “Hey Little One.” The tracks were recorded during the same sessions that produced Campbell »

Glen Campbell has quit touring: new album 'See You There' due in July

22 April 2013 9:28 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — Glen Campbell's Alzheimer's disease has progressed too far to allow him to continue touring. Instead, he'll spend his 77th birthday on Monday in Washington as an advocate for Alzheimer's research. The trip includes a fundraising dinner for the Alzheimer's Association and a visit to Capitol Hill, where he'll visit the Senate. Alzheimer's has robbed Campbell of many of his best memories, gained over a lifetime as an entertainment icon who was a pop star, a groundbreaking session musician, an actor and TV variety show host. But it hasn't taken everything. Campbell will release a new album, "See »

"American Idol" Vegas Showdown #2: J'da "Represents the Gays"!

22 February 2013 7:21 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

Well, that was a mediocre night of brooding dudes. Remember when I told last night's ladies to "matter more"? Turns out the gents needed the same memo, with one notable exception: The fabulous, high-heeled mess known as J'da, who announced he was "representing the gays" after his eye-popping, nutty, floor-clutching performance of "Rumour Has It," rocked me, confused me, and ultimately felt... too insane for this universe. We'll get to that in a bit. J'da's performance, I mean, not the universe where he can live and thrive. That's a couple millennia off. 

Just like Wednesday's initial Vegas night, we saw 10 performers croon (all dudes this time), and five earned the right to stay while the other five were eliminated. Let's rank these 10 and sort out our feelings for years afterward with suburban therapist Kara DioGuardi. I assume that's what's she's up to recently. 

10. Charlie Askew, Elton John's "Rocket Man"

Let's start with this. »

Italy Unpacked | Great Night Out | Glen Campbell: The Rhinestone Cowboy | Stella | The Last Leg | Hard

Italy Unpacked

9pm, BBC2

It's homecoming time as, for the latest leg in their Italian journey, chef Giorgio Locatelli shows Andrew Graham-Dixon around his home region of Lombardy. The overarching theme is how the people of the area, plugged into the rich markets of industrial northern Europe, value innovation and engineering know-how. The journey to Milan, for instance, takes the duo along the A8, the world's first motorway. There's a dark side to all this modernity, though, as Graham-Dixon holds forth on Futurism founder Marinetti's links with fascism. Jonathan Wright

Great Night Out

9pm, ITV

There's been room for a while in the schedules for a show that reflects the relentless mickey-taking that bonds groups of young males, and this is it. Set in Stockport, amid the world of pub outings, iffy jobs and the faintest hint of recession, »

What's coming in season 12 of "American Idol"? The judges, host and producers of the hit reality show presented a panel at the TCA winter press tour to let us know exactly what we can expect in the next few months of singing sensations and judge arguments.

So what did we learn from the "American Idol" panel? Here are the top 10 things you need know about the upcoming season.

2. A season for the girls? The producers and judges seemed certain that this could indeed be the season in which a female singer wins again. "The girls are pretty strong this year -- stronger than the boys," producer Nigel Lythgoe said. "You know, we've »
