*Update (5/2/12): An earlier version of this post listed the 8/19 Sharon Van Etten show as when the Fox would reopen. Shannon Bock sent a note clarifying that the Theatre actually has plans to reopen in the first week of August with a full schedule of shows, which will be announced throughout the summer.

This summer, fresh on the heels of its twenty-year anniversary, the Fox Theatre will close its doors for two months to make necessary repairs to the venue's roof. "It's an old roof," explains Shannon Bock, publicist for the Fox and the Boulder Theater. "The building was originally built in 1926, and the venue has been running for twenty years. It's time to replace it."

Willis McGahee on the set of Shanell's new video.

It's the off-season. Do you know where your Broncos are -- uh, we mean, the ones who aren't huddled around fawning over their fearless new leader? We know where one of them is, or was, rather, earlier this week. Broncos running back Willis McGahee was in Miami, his old stomping grounds, on the set with Lil Wayne for the filming of the new video for Shanell's "So Good," her song with Drake and Weezy. Shirtless and flexing his pecs, the Broncos ball handler was evidently cast to play the Young Money diva's love interest. NecoleBitchie posted some pics from the shoot, including the one and the one below.
