Country superstar Taylor Swift is extending her concert tour through 2010. The second leg of the tour will kick off in Brisbane, Australia, in February.

"We had so much fun on the 'Fearless' tour the first time around that we decided that we had to keep going with it," she says.

The 2010 tour opens Feb. 4 in Brisbane. Kellie Pickler and Gloriana will return as the opening acts.

All 52 concerts on the 2009 tour sold out in minutes, including New York's Madison Square Garden. Swift said she hopes the second go-round will be as successful.

"I've never expected that kind of success. I've never just felt entitled to my shows selling out or things like this happening to me, but the fact that they've happened to me has been wonderful," said Swift.

She said her fans make her feel like she's "won the lottery of dreams coming true."

Beastie Boy MCA is on the mend

Three months after disclosing his cancer diagnosis and shelving his band's summer tour, Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch says he's on the road to recovery after receiving treatment from Tibetan specialists, according to eonline.com.

"I'm feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that I've beaten this thing, but of course time will tell," the 45-year-old Yauch writes on the Beasties' mailing list. "[I] just got back from Dharamsala, India. Went over there to see some Tibetan doctors." Yauch adds that he's taking Tibetan medicine and has switched to a vegan/organic diet.

The musician is now "enjoying a little downtime in Massachusetts, taking walks in the woods and hanging out with the family ... and just laying low."

As for Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1, the band's album originally slated for September but delayed due to his cancer treatment, Yauch says he expects it to drop in the first half of 2010.

K-Fed leaves mark on rental home

It's a good thing Kevin Federline will soon be able to bunk with an assortment of has-beens and almost-weres for the upcoming season of VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club." According to a recent posting to gossip site TMZ, the former Mr. Britney Spears owes more than $100,000 to his last landlord, reports to msnbc.com.

Owners of Federline's Tarzana, Calif., rental home claim he failed to pay six months in back rent and trashed the property during his stay.

As for K-Fed's alleged fine-worthy infractions, they include filling gutters with cigarette butts and empty bottles, breaking a beer dispenser, and leaving "permanent spit marks on exterior paint."
