Phillips is at ‘Home’ on the road – “Sometimes you get a little tired after a three- to four-month run,” Phillips said during a telephone interview, but overall, he loves being on the road. “As long as I get to play music, I’m pretty happy,” he said, adding that he even likes sleeping on the bus. Phillips said his current tours are nothing like the one he was on with “Idol.” He said those who organized that tour liked the musicians to perform with recorded tracks, something he didn’t do. “I kept it as much of me as I could. If you mess up, that’s what makes it real,” he said. He said musicians just like to have fun, and being famous hasn’t changed that for him. – Read more at HeraldMailMedia

Bruno Tonioli on Why Len Goodman May Take Time Off and How the Show Is ‘Like a Love Affair’ – When we chatted with judge Bruno Tonioli, he revealed that his British partner-in-judging will take some time off this season. “He’s having a couple of weeks off, you know,” he explained, “but we’re having Julianne [Hough].” During the fall season of DWTS, Tonioli and Goodman split their time between Los Angeles and London for the British show, Strictly Come Dancing. “That means we have to fly back to London to do a live Saturday show here and we fly back to Los Angeles on Sunday for the show Monday,” Tonioli said. “So it does take its toll. He loves the show as much as I do, but obviously as you progress in your years, let’s put it this way [laughs], it gets a bit harder to do. It’s not the flight itself, but it’s the eight-hour jet lag between London and Los Angeles, so Len will take a few weeks off during the season to make it a little bit easier on him. But I will persevere, I’ll be there every week, don’t you worry.” – Read more at Parade
