Jay-Z joins Pearl Jam on stage for ’99 Problems’

By JOHN CARUCCI

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pearl Jam has closed the two-day Budweiser Made In America Festival, but not before the man who put it all together joined the band on stage.

After frontman Eddie Vedder thanked Jay-Z for the festival, the megastar came out and joined the group for a rocking version of “99 Problems.”

Pearl Jam performed an intense 25-song set that saw tens of thousands of fans jumping, dancing, and singing to its well-known tracks including “Alive,” ”Better Man,” and “Jeremy.” The group also covered the Clash’s “Know Your Rights,” and The Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me.”

Fittingly, the band ended with Neil Young’s “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World.”

In keeping with the festival theme, Vedder said he wants to see more made in America wares and encouraged people to vote.

Randy Jackson Out As American Idol Judge (Report)

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Has the Dawg left the building?

Randy Jackson will not return as a judge on “American Idol,” but will remain involved with the show and its contestants as a mentor, TMZ reported on Friday.

A source for the website reportedly claimed execs at the reality hit are concerned Randy may not actually be “well-suited for the mentor role,” but feel his presence is necessary in some form as he’s “the glue that helps keep the show together.”

Previously, multiple outlets, including the Associated Press, reported that Nicki Minaj was set to fill one of the vacation judges’ chairs, but TMZ claimed on Friday the deal is close, but still not completed.
