*Ja Rule will touch down in Nairobi, Kenya Friday (7/28) to headline a concert at the Carnivore grounds in conjunction with the Celtel Kenya Win a Porsche World Cup promotion. On Sunday in Dar es Salam, Tanzania, the rapper will perform alongside his ride-or-die chick Ashanti at a separate gig sponsored by radio station Clouds FM. Celtel, which launched mobile operations in Africa in 1998, has networks across 15 African countries and covers more than a third of the population of Africa.
*Godfather of Soul James Brown will get on the good foot for the King of Morocco next month in a private concert for his birthday. Mohammed VI will fly out the hardest working man in showbiz to perform at an Aug. 21 party to celebrate the big day.
*U2 has set Nov. 7 as the start of their 10 rescheduled concert dates for the Vertigo '06 Tour, which is to feature Kanye West as the opening act in New Zealand and Australia.
