Blues Legend in Hospital
Blues legend BB King is in hospital following a bout of flu but is in "good spirits" and is expected to be discharged on Saturday.
The 81-year-old had a fever after contracting flu and was admitted to The University of Texas Medical Branch hospital on Friday.
"He's doing great, he's in good spirits and cracking jokes," said Tina France, of King's management company Lieberman.
She said King still plans to perform at Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday.
His other Texan concerts in Galveston, Orange and Tyler, which were scheduled for this week and early next week, will be rescheduled for June, Ms France said.

Europe Gets PS3 Launch FINALLY!
Sony have announced the much delayed European PS3 launch as being the 23rd of March 2007, i believe they will sell well but not as well as they could have doone, i believe allot of people have spent their money on the excellent Wii and may decide to leave the PS3 for the time being.
The cost is what really offends me, £425 is a hefty cost for a console, bearing in mind the 360 cost £279.
Admittedly it does come with a 60gig hard drive which is better than the 360, but the 360 has a 100 gig on the way...
The ps3 does have free online access which is something i think Microsoft will need to address.
There will also be 30 titles available for launch, with the 20 gig cheaper version following later in the year.

2007 is the year action figures go back to their roots
Having just got back from Toy Fair in London i have to say that 2007 will be a great year for toys. The Corgi International / Cards Inc. action figure line of Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix and the Golden Compass look to be going back to their roots, 3& 3/4 inch scale baby!What is awesome about these ranges is there play-ability, yes they come with playsets, something Hasbro have let star wars fans down with for many years, the main attraction and Christmas toy of the year WILL be the Hogwarts Great Hall Playset, you will not believe how beautiful this toy is. Harry Potter fans of all ages are in for a treat.
The Golden Compass Lord Asriel figure played by Daniel Craig !!!IS!!! Daniel Craig, we thought the Albus Dumbledore figure was the best sculpt we had seen at this scale from the online previews, but Lord Asriel is better, James Bond figures anyone?
CARDS INC NEEDS THE JAMES BOND LICENSE!
Check out or friends at Action-Figure.com reviews of the Cards Inc. range of HP5 & Golden Compass Toys (they go into more detail and are far more professional), move over Hasbro!
