Disney's Camp Rock star Demi Lovato, who played Mitchie Torres in the film, will make an in-store appearance tomorrow (Wednesday) from 2 to 3 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Communications Store, 5631 Lyndon B. Johnson Frwy, Suite A, in Dallas. The cute and perky Ms. Lovato, who is recording her debut CD for a scheduled release in November, will greet fans and sign autographs. She's also the opening act tomorrow night for the Jonas Brothers' sold-out concert at Superpages.com Center.

Madonna's publicist confirmed that "There is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna's upcoming (Sticky & Sweet) tour," according to the AP. That's all the info she'll divulge because the rest is "a secret." Read more here.

Newsflash, from Billboard.com: World-conquering modern rock ack Nickelback has signed one of those all-encompassing 360-degree deals with world-conquering concert promotions company Live Nation (see a thread there? I know I do!).

This is quite amusing to me since the reason Nickelback claimed to be happy as a clam (not to mention raking in the clams) at Roadrunner Records for so long was the creative freedom it enjoyed there. After all, Roadrunner became a titan in modern rock labeldom largely because of the Brothers Kroeger and co. Now, after the band makes two more albums on Roadrunner (which I'm sure Live Nation will get a stake in now), its marquee attraction is gonna go clam-digging somewhere else. Meep-meep!

Fearless prediction: by next year, Live Nation will announce that it's cloned Michael Jackson circa 1982, and that a "Thriller v2.0 World Tour" will last into perpetuity ... with $50 tour T-shirts for sale, even. You read it here first.

... if you thought that you could just, you know, like, show up at Superpages.com Center tomorrow and score some lawn tickets to see Jonas Brothers with on-the-rise opener Demi Lovato ... um, it's now officially sold out.

Bummer. Now you can't even set up rock camp for Camp Rock on the grassy knoll.
