Run it

Shows for 2008 are shaping up, and here's a big one that's going down Jan. 3 at Arco Arena. According to Pollstar.com, the R&B sensation Chris Brown will be coming to the home of the Kings. His new album comes out Tuesday ("Exclusive") and the advance single "Kiss Kiss" has already topped the charts. Brown's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September was only bested by Britney Spears' "Gimme More" trainwreck as the most buzzed about moment at the water cooler. Yeah, Brown is a real dancing machine. And sorry to be a downer, but his lip-synching at the VMA's was really awful. Just as bad as Britney's, even. It'll be interesting to see what Brown has in store when he reaches Sacramento. Will it be live or Memorex? Stay tuned for ticket information.
