A second Elton John concert at Blaisdell Arena has been announced for Jan. 9, promoter Tom Moffatt said yesterday.

Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday at all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 800-745-3000, and at www.ticketmaster.com. Prices are $67, $97 and $157.

John's first concert, Jan. 6, sold out in record time, said John Fuhrmann, events and services manager for Blaisdell Arena. The concerts will be John's seventh time performing on O'ahu since 1971.

John will perform at 8 p.m. Jan. 9 with percussionist Ray Cooper and will include songs from his latest release, "Rocket Man: Number Ones."

CHELSEA CLINTON ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT

Turns out those discredited rumors of a possible Chelsea Clinton wedding last summer were mostly just premature: The 29-year old daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has become engaged to her longtime boyfriend, 31-year old investment banker Marc Mezvinsky.

The couple sent an e-mail to friends Friday announcing the news, saying they were looking at a possible wedding next summer. A spokesman for the former president confirmed the engagement yesterday.

Mezvinsky is a son of former Pennsylvania Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and former Iowa Rep. Ed Mezvinsky, longtime friends of the Clintons. Ed Mezvinsky was released from federal prison last year after serving a nearly five-year sentence for wire and bank fraud.

HASSELHOFF'S EX-WIFE ARRESTED FOR DUI

David Hasselhoff's ex-wife has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Los Angeles.

The California Highway Patrol said Sunday that Pamela Bach was pulled over Saturday night just south of U.S. 101 on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. She was booked at the LAPD's Van Nuys jail and released.

The patrol says Bach showed blood alcohol levels of .14 and .13 on a breathalyzer test. California's legal limit is .08.

Bach was charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run in 2007, but the charges were dropped when she agreed to pay damages. She pleaded no contest to a drunken-driving charge in August and was placed on three years of informal probation, court records show.

Bach was married to Hasselhoff for 16 years until he filed for divorce in 2006.
