When a picture of the Backstreet Boys holding Pandas surfaces online, you don’t ignore it.

They’re on tour in China right now, and it seems they took some time out of their schedule to spend some time with the native animals. Can you blame them? No trip to China is complete without an up-close encounter with a Giant Panda, and the baby ones just sweeten the deal!

The Backstreet Boys will be touring North America later this summer, so if you’d like a little nostalgia with a side of 90s pop hits, check and see if they’re coming to a city near you. In the meantime, maybe head to your local zoo this weekend.

Cirque du Soleil

If you’re unfamiliar with Cirque Du Soleil and all their brilliance, now’s the time to get acquainted. Founded in Quebec, Canada, Cirque Du Soleil (which translates to “Circus of the Sun” in English) combines acrobatic approaches from all over the world. Each show will have you clutching your seat, in awe of the human body and its flexible capabilities. They’re on tour regularly, drawing in and wowing crowds in numerous countries, and every performance is aptly themed to tell a compelling story.

Amaluna

Amaluna

Amaluna sets a magical atmosphere for every audience, in a world directed by the cycles of the moon. Prospera, queen of the kingdom, arranges a coming-of-age ceremony for her daughter, and the performance bursts with rebirth and renewal.

Saltimbanco

Saltimbanco, derived from “saltare in banco” in Italian, means “to jump on a bench.” This show will take you through an urban, colorful and eclectic metropolis and lull you into a dreamy trance. Through the diversity of each character, a theme of hope is driven through each segment.

Dralion

Dralion brings ancient Chinese flare to Cirque du Soleil’s acrobatic styling. The show pulls inspiration from Oriental theologies and the journey for harmony between nature and the human species. It’s name comes from the dragon and the lion, symbolizing the East and the West, respectively.

In this performance, the four elemental forces of this earth (air, water, fire, water) are all represented, and by the end of the show, the have all blended and achieved the perfect balance.

Quidam

Quidam is a show for the young at heart. The title character could be anyone on the stage, at any given moment – he or she might even be in the crowd! This performance aims to create an atmosphere for living out your dreams and stepping into your individuality. Quidam wants to free your soul!

Totem

TOTEM takes you through the alluring evolutionary adventure of the human species. On stage, the characters’ journey unfolds, and the origin and advancement of man is explored.

Merging legend and science, TOTEM breaks down our progression and acrobatically explores what it means to be human.

American Football

Football fans still have the playoffs to look forward to, but if your team hasn’t had a good enough season, you may want to squeeze in a game before the year is over. The regular season ends on December 30th, and only the best teams will move forward from there. If you don’t catch them now, chances are you’ll have to wait until next August to show some support.  On the other hand, Basketball lovers can choose to attend one of the many games coming up, and hockey fanatics have their own set of options (Detroit Red Wings vs. Nashville Predators on December 15th!). Check out these and other sporting events here.

Wicked, The Musical

This month, you can see a performance in Honolulu, St. Louis and for a limited time, Syracuse, New York (through December 9th). There’s no place like the theater!

In case you haven’t heard, the Atlanta Falcons are quite the force to be reckoned with this year.

As of last week, they were the only undefeated team in the NFL’s 2012-2013 season, and even though they lost against the New Orleans Saints this weekend, the Falcons have earned bragging rights. Frankly, they are a true contender for the 2013 Super Bowl Championship title.

Let’s take a look at the numbers. Quarterback Matt Ryan’s presser rating is currently at 103.0, the thirst-best in the league. A 68.9% completion percentage and a 17-6 TD-to-INT ratio is why he’s marching his way up the MVP short list. Then there’s wide receiver Julio Jones. In one game a lone, Jones finished with five beautiful catches, totaling 129 yards. In case you’ve gotten lost in the lingo, these are great numbers.

You’re sure to see them in the playoffs come January, but if you’d like to catch the action during a regular season game, there are plenty of options to choose from:

Sunday, November 18, 2012 – Atlanta, GA – Georgia Dome – 1:00PM

Sunday, November 25, 2012 – Tampa, FL – Raymond James Stadium – 1:00PM

Sunday, November 29, 2012 – Atlanta, GA – Georgia Dome – 8:20PM

Daughtry Break the Spell Tour 2012

American rock band Daughtry is back and about to hit a stage near you for their “Break the Spell” Tour! Formed and fronted by American Idol season 5 finalist Chris Daughtry in 2006, their self-titled debut album was released in 2006 with the first single of the album, “It’s Not Over.” It was the eighth most played song on U.S. radio in 2007, and their second single from the album, “Home”, was the tenth most played song in the U.S. of 2007. The band’s second album “Leave This Town” was released in July 2009. The first single, “No Surprise,” was written by Chris Daughtry with Chad Kroeger and Eric Dill. One of my personal favorite songs from that album is “Ghost of Me.”

The band’s third album “Break the Spell” was released on November 21, 2011. The new video game Batman: Arkham City – The Album features a song by Daughtry called ”Drown in You” that I absolutely love. The Break the Spell album debuted at number eight on the Billboard Top 200 on November 28, 2011 with 129,000 copies sold. As of January 2012, the album has sold 346,000 copies in the United States. On January 26, “Crawling Back to You” debuted number twenty-four on the Japan Hot 100, becoming Daughtry’s first single to debut in Japan.
