Dylan tour ready to roll

New York — The times, they aren’t a-changing that much. Bob Dylan will head back on the road for a spring tour.

The singer — and now author — announced dates for “The Bob Dylan Show,” to kick off March 7 in Seattle. After three nights there, Dylan will play in Portland, Ore.; Oakland, Calif.; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; and will conclude the tour April 6 in Chicago. More dates are expected to be added.

Dylan, 63, will tour with his band. The tour also will feature Merle Haggard and the Strangers and Amos Lee.

Jen’s bling-bling for sale

New York — Jenny’s engagement ring is back on the block.

A year after Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck called off their wedding, her engagement ring has been “reacquired” by New York jeweler Harry Winston, said Carol Brodie, a spokeswoman for the jeweler.

Brodie confirmed Friday the ring is for sale, but the price is available only to “serious buyers.”

Affleck, 32, purchased the 6-carat pink diamond ring in 2002. He and Lopez split in January 2004.

In June, Lopez reportedly married salsa singer Marc Anthony at her Beverly Hills, Calif., home, and Affleck has been linked to “Alias” actress Jennifer Garner.

Juror questioning delayed in Michael Jackson trial

Santa Maria, Calif. — Individual questioning of prospective jurors for Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial will not begin as scheduled Monday because the sister of the pop star’s lead defense attorney is gravely ill, the court said Friday.

Prospective jurors were asked to return to court nonetheless to be assigned new jury numbers, the court said.

Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville plans to hold a previously scheduled hearing on media issues.

The judge recessed court Tuesday after selecting a pool of 250 prospective jurors who were willing to serve for up to six months on the high-profile trial. He had planned to begin questioning potential jurors who filled out preliminary questionnaires.

Jackson is accused of molesting a 13-year-old former cancer patient. He is also charged with giving the boy alcohol and conspiring to hold him and his family at Jackson’s Neverland ranch.
