More North American dates are expected to be announced for June and July.

* Mariah Carey will release her new album, titled 'That Chick,' on April 1. The follow-up to 2005's massive 'The Emancipation of Mimi' features guests including T-Pain and Damien Marley, with production from Rodney Jerkins, Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am and Jermaine Durpi.

* Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, will spend another month in jail after his case for allegedly perverting the course of justice was adjourned until February 29. Winehouse blew him kisses and whispered "I love you" as Fielder-Civil was led away.

* Garth Brooks will play five sold-out concerts at Los Angeles' Staples Center between two days to benefit victims of last year's Southern California wildfires. On January 25, Brooks will perform two-hour shows at 6PM and 10PM, with three shows at 1, 5 and 9PM on January 26.

* Singer-songwriter Rachael Sage will release her new album, 'Chandelier,' on May 6.
