Mid Forties Man Okay Being Subject of Taylor Swift’s Next Hit Tune!
July 02, 2020
Danny Evans hair is gone, and his stomach is plump.
He might be strong enough to do one push-up.
That doesn’t stop him from fantasizing about being Tay-Tay’s next hit song.
He doesn’t care if it’s about him stalking her.
He doesn’t care if it’s about him delivering pizza to her house.
He doesn’t care if it’s about him fixing her broken appliances.
He doesn’t care.
He wants to feel alive for one day in his life and each day after that.
We want his dream to come true and only Taylor can make it happen.
He wants her next song to be about him.
Taylor? Would you make this man’s dream come true?
Platty's Editor Note: Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. Well, that's what Kanye tells me.
He is tired of your fake news bullshit and wants to bring the real news to the people.
He is the founder of a new consortium called the NeoDemoRepublicLiberTeaConserveAsshole Party.
He brings the news that you don't want at any cost.


Here’s a one-off insertion in the L.A. Times from 1988 that Gary Halbert wrote and published.
I don’t know of anyone who’s ever seen this one before.
When he was on his game, he was one of the most versatile promoters on the planet.
“If you are an Elvis Presley fan, this may be the most exciting message you will ever read.
Here is why. In 1955, a full year before Elvis became famous, he got a chance to play at the Eagles Hall at 2204 Louisiana Street in Houston, Texas. He went there with Scotty Moore, his guitar player and first sidekick, and Bill Black, his bass player. Well, what happened is, the three of them got up there on that stage and . . .
THEY SET THAT JOINT ON FIRE!
You see, this was Elvis before he was tamed down, before Colonel Parker got a hold of him, before Steve Allen tried to “detwitch” him, before he was told he had to stop all that shaking or else the TV cameras could only shoot him from the waist up. This was Elvis totally uninhibited!


The Aubergine Kween is back.
That’s right Azealia Banks blessed us with a music video to her fresh tune ‘The Big Big Beat’.
If you want to see Azealia bruk it out on top of a NYPD cruiser, this is the video for you.
The Big Big Beat is the first track off of the singers latest mix-tape ‘Slay-Z’.
This new track definitly lives up to it’s name.

Frank Stewart, now known to family, friends and fans simply as “Paco” has been a professional singer, actor and entertainer for just over five years. After 37 years as CEO/Chairman of the Board of Northland Residential Corporation, a highly successful New England “green building” residential community development firm, he retired to finally pursue his heart’s desire as a full-time singer, songwriter, actor and overall entertainer.
The seeds for his love of singing and acting were originally planted by his mother Priscilla, who graduated from Boston’s Longy School as a classical concert pianist and Cellist. She played the old New England summer hotel circuit and later was organist, choir director and “local musical stock” show-producer…where his entire family including little Frankie was involved, like it or not. As with many professional singers his musical roots were thus formed singing first in church.
His initial music-related studies were at Bristol Recording Studios in Boston where he has honed his craft as a singer. At Bristol Paco has worked diligently over the past five years in artist development, performance dance, and in writing and recording a handful of original songs; and in producing and releasing four major CD Albums thus far. He has already recorded well over 125 songs at Bristol and his newest Album “For Always” (19 songs) was just released on January 12, 2015, commensurate with his new website “The World of Paco” going live. His performance repertoire of over 175 songs include classic and contemporary faith-based music, “Oldies”, Christmas standards, pop inspirational and “Andrew Lloyd Webber” Broadway songs and of course his own originals. His newest “For Always” Album features songs all about the many aspects of “Love” and he was delighted to add for the first time two duets each with renowned sopranos Lauren O’Keefe and Michelle Hylan. He has just started work on his 6th Album, which will primarily be dedicated to his own original songs and including special collaborations of original songs written by others.
More recently he auditioned and was signed at John Robert Powers Talent Agency (JRP), also in Boston, where he actively pursues TV, radio and theater acting, stage musicals, commercials, and voice-overs; and he has already acted in a History Channel docu-drama and appeared in TV, print and radio commercials. He recently signed with MMG Talent Agency in New York City and he also is currently under contract with AirPlayDirect and Collective Evolution in Nashville, TN., to place his music on global radio and to build this current new “Media Deck” (website) showcasing all of his music and acting interests. In fact, his 42-song 50’s, 60’s & 70’s “Oldies” Album was released to global radio this past February over AirPlayDirect and went all the way to # 1 on the APD Rock Charts, soaring even past Paul McCartney’s Wings Album. He spent an unbelievable week in Nashville with APD undertaking extensive photo shoots for his new Media Deck/website, meeting with executives in the music industry, and having a blast meeting and kibitzing with APD’s stable of Emmy winning Nashville-based artists and entertainers such as multi-Emmy winner Carl Jackson who routinely performs with Dolly Parton.
Paco greatly looks forward to continuing his endeavors at AirPlayDirect, Collective Evolution, JRP and at Bristol with gusto, having no idea where it will eventually take him, and having no expectations of fame and fortune, other than to simply have fun and try to stay young in heart and soul as a “senior-aged” artist and performer. When asked what his motivating force was to start singing, acting and entertaining, instead of just lying back and basking in a slow, easy-going life of retirement he said this: “Over the years I’ve seen too many folks retire, do relatively little and go down-hill health-wise faster than they had expected.” “I’ve seen many others start new careers, get otherwise involved in helping others and stay young at heart in the process.” “I therefore chose the second alternative hands-down.” “My primary motivators unlike many younger artists are not to just seek fame and fortune.” I simply wish to give back to life itself, by using my singing and acting to try to touch others emotionally, and in the process to attempt to make them feel good about themselves.” If I can make someone cry, or to feel their inner soul in a positive way, helping them to appreciate and be able to count their many life blessings, I will have been successful.” “As an added motivator, if I can somehow challenge them to energize their own talents and act on their own dreams I will personally feel fulfilled; as in…hey, if that old dude (Paco) can do that, why can’t I do it?” “The answer is…I am doing it and so can you!”


The Swift Method of Brand Domination: How delight and surprise builds brand-fan loyalty
“She’s a branding superstar … dressed as a popstar. Why? Well it’s hard not to notice the impossibly perfect red lipstick. Then comes the obvious talent and fashionista looks. But it’s the loyal relationship she’s built with her fans, that makes her a brilliant businesswoman. In this article Neil Osborne shows how a singer/songwriter has dedicated herself to delighting her fans – beyond belief – and has won their lifetime loyalty.
Yes, we’re talking Taylor Swift. And it’s all true.
Her bigheartedness and obsession with surprising her fans – the Swifties – is in large part responsible for her swift (pardon the pun) path to world domination. At just 25 years old, she helms a brand more profitable than most companies: she earned $64 million in 2014 – with her most recent album, 1989, selling 1.287 million copies in its first week and bringing in more than $7 million in sales and counting.
Any business would be envious of those numbers, and there’s more. A single post on Instagram clocked 670,000 likes in under seven hours, and the teaser trailer for her music video ‘Bad Blood’ accrued 489,000 views in under one week. You can’t say that was dumb luck. No, it has to do with marketing acumen.
Miss Swizzle is a powerhouse, it’s undeniable. And why is that? Her generosity gives fans unexpected, squeal-worthy … glee.
Branding translation? Outrageous customer service…”

NRL Bad Boy Blake Ferguson Converts to Islam En Route to a New Life
Professional and once unsettled rugby player, Blake Ferguson, has apparently found the road.
After a life full of thorns, setbacks and anxiety, troubled rugby league star has found his road to rehabilitation, true salvation, peace and tranquility via Islam.
He converted to Islam by the help of his fellow Muslim boxer Anthony Mundine.
The State of Origin star was photographed praying beside Mundine, who also helped rugby league superstar Sonny Bill Williams convert to the Muslim religion five years ago when Williams was going through a difficult period in his life.
For all his showmanship and madness, Mundine is a deeply religious person who genuinely cares for Ferguson and wants to help him realize his enormous potential in the NRL.
Ferguson declined to comment on Friday saying: “It’s private. I can’t talk about it, I’m sorry.”
Ferguson has previously made many failed attempts to give up alcohol – which is prohibited for a Muslim to drink.
Mundine revealed that the sacked and now unemployed Canberra Raiders star had been asking him about converting for almost six weeks.
“He’s thought about it and it’s a commitment he wants to make,” Mundine said. “But it’s up to Blake to speak about it when he’s ready.
“He’s just looking forward to changing his direction in life. At the moment he’s in good space – no drinking, no drugs, no parties.
“He’s got the colour back in his face. He wants to be a better person but he’ll still have his faults, like we all do.”
A New Start
Ferguson’s rugby league career has been in limbo for several months after he was dumped by the Raiders over a number of off-field incidents.
Another prominent Islamic sportsperson, boxer Billy Dib, congratulated Ferguson on Twitter on Saturday, writing on: “Proud of you my brother, so happy to see you taking the right steps to resurrect your footy career.”
Ferguson replied: “Thanks brother.. very hapoy with where im heading.. hooe your well.”
Dib then tweeted “all is well my bro, getting ready for the big fight inshallah.” to which Ferguson responded with “yeah my brother goodluck inshallah”.
Ferguson has had a troubled year in the NRL and is currently facing charges over the alleged indecent assault of a woman at a Cronulla nightspot. That matter is still before the courts.
Many of Ferguson’s misdemeanors have been alcohol-related, which makes his religious conversion such a significant step.
The Roosters’ Kiwi superstar Sonny Bill Williams, another close friend of Mundine’s, has said his Muslim faith has made him a better footballer. Ferguson will be hoping for a similar result.
Ferguson worked as a laborer after leaving Canberra but still hopes to return to the NRL. He was supposed to have had his first professional fight on the undercard for Mundine’s aborted fight against Mosley on October 23. He will enter the ring as one of the curtain-raisers for the fight night at All Phones Arena on November 27.
The player, who was once earning $400,000-a-year, is living at Mundine’s Hurstville home with the boxer and his mum.
He is now a $1 million-a-year superstar in NRL and rugby union.

Clint Eastwood is the ever-shining star in the history of American motion pictures. He has achieved significant landmarks one after another in a career of more than sixty years.
But one fact that is often overlooked is that this prolific director-producer-actor was an out and out self-made man. He’s had his fair share of struggle and criticism in Hollywood.
Going through an account of his early life and career will give us a more vivid picture of the foundation of this extraordinary actor’s career.
Young Clint Eastwood: Pics And History
The legendary actor was born in San Francisco, California, on May 3, 1930. He grew up in a fairly ordinary household. Over the years, his family moved to different places as his father, Clinton Sr, changed his occupation several times. Eastwood came of mixed ancestry – his father was English, Scottish, and his mother Ruth was Irish.
After settling in Piedmont, California, Eastwood’s family led a well and prosperous lifestyle. His academic record was not very promising in Middle School. The rebellious part of his nature came out when he attended Piedmont High School. He got suspended for writing inappropriate suggestions on a field scoreboard and burning school property.
Young Clint Eastwood had a mishmash of multiple jobs, including lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest fighter, and golf caddy. He often mentioned enlisting in the US Army during the Korean war to take on the appearance of a war hero, while in reality, he was a lifeguard at Fort Ord all along, as recalled by his ex-wife Sondra Locke.
Young Clint Eastwood: His Career in the 1950s
Rawhide’s CBS press release stated that that Eastwood was spotted and invited by an assistant in Fort Ord when Universal International film company was shooting there. Although this statement slightly differs from Eastwood’s biographer Patrick McGilligan’s version.
After his first audition under Arthur Lubin, the director suggested he take acting lessons. Even though he had the hero-like physique, his acting skill was apparently very amateurish. However, Eastwood signed his first contract in April 1954, at a $100 per week payment. His lifelong trademark of delivering dialogues through his teeth was not well-received at that point.
Eastwood went through a series of unsuccessful auditions before signing for a minor role in Revenge of the Creature. After a few minor uncredited roles, in 1955, he got his first television role on NBC’s Allen in Movieland. But Universal terminated his contract that year for his unusually large adam’s apple.
In 1958, Eastwood played a significant role in the film Ambush at Cimarron Pass, which he considered as an unexciting phase in his career. Finally, he found his real shot as Rowdy Yates’ character in the series Rawhide that same year.
His Rawhide days were most hectic and exhausting, filming for hours, six days a week. Yet, he was criticized for lack of commitment and hard work. Eventually, Rawhide got canceled midway in the 1965-66 season.
Eastwood’s Career in the 1960s
In 1963, Eastwood was introduced to director Sergio Leone for the cowboy’s role in Fistful of Dollars. He found this transition from a TV western to films as a good escape route from the Rawhide episode. In this film, he had to smoke cigars to meet the demands of the character Man with No Name. This film’s success eventually helped him star in Leone’s next film in this trilogy, For a Few Dollars More.
When The Dollars Trilogy was released in the US in 1967, it was an instant hit. Eastwood made $8 million in rental earnings, and he achieved 5th place on Quigley’s Top Ten Money-Making Stars Poll. Although the movies were commercially successful, they were not critically acclaimed, which started Eastwood’s long journey to win American critics’ respect.
With his advisor Irving Leonard’s help, Eastwood started his own production company Malpaso Productions in California. In the meantime, he received a huge offer of $1 million to rejoin Universal Studios. He became friends with Universal director Don Siegel, which happened to be a long partnership. They produced five films together.
In 1968, Eastwood earned $750,000 for the World War II epic Where Eagles Dare, where he played the right-hand man of Richard Burton, the squad’s commander.
His last accomplishment in the 60s was the only musical of his career, Paint Your Wagon. Even though the film was not successful critically or commercially, it was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
Clint Eastwood: Young Pictures


Ingrid Michaelson at Neumos, Seattle 10/12/2009
I got to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert at Neumos in Seattle last night. I previously saw her for the first time in Ann Arbor, 2007. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see her in Ann Arbor last year because she sold out pretty quickly.
From what I remember of the last time I saw her (I haven’t re-read my other concert post yet), she seemed really modest and was excited that people in the audience knew the words to some of her songs. After two years of success, it seems like she’s a lot more confident, but also kind of diva-ish. Not that she’s a bitch or anything, but she’s sort of less charming in the way she was before. She still mentioned lots of random stuff like crying a bunch after watching The Family Stone on the tour bus and how much they like all like Mexican food.
Before Ingrid and the band came on, there was an opening act guy named Matthew Perryman Jones. I wonder if it’s his real name or a fake stage name! He was pretty good, but his songs were kind of yawn-inducing. He was nice though, and he said that all proceeds of the music and shirts and stuff would go to a child in need. Then he revealed the child in need is his child! What a joker.
Ingrid and the gang came on kind of late, and started with Soldier, which is the opener of her new album, Everybody, which I haven’t written about yet. Then she played a mix of songs from her past three albums. The first time I saw her, she only brought her friend Allie, but this time she had a full band, which is kind of necessary for playing a lot of the arrangements in the new album. The older songs felt a little weird with a full band though. To be fair, some of the arrangements were refreshing, like Far Away turned into a much richer song and I think Giving Up almost turned into a country song, which had an awesome effect. This is exactly why live performances are worthwhile to plunk down change for.
Ingrid said she was tired because she had taken a nap. I can relate. It’s hard to get back on track after taking an hour nap. She sounded fine, though. Her voice was as nice as I remember it. There were times that she used a little too much vibrato though. But she’s totally still got it talent-wise.
I think her songwriting has gotten better as well. I really like Die Alone, don’t get me wrong. But it’s just a little too repetitive. Her new songs are much better in that sense.
Oh, also, when she sang Can’t Help Falling in Love, some girl fainted. And she said it happened the previous night, too! Maybe it’s an epidemic. Or maybe people just know they can get Ingrid to come to their rescue and get close to her by pretending to faint during that song…
Overall, I think Ingrid Michaelson has improved quite a lot. The lacking maturity factor that I wrote about in my previous posts seems to have resolved itself. Maybe is a really good album. And Ingrid is a really good performer (and so are her bandmates, especially Allie). Oh, and her other girl guitar player is kind of cute. So go see her live if she hasn’t already sold out in your town! Apparently she has sold out everywhere she’s gone so far. Hopefully I will get to see Ingrid again some time soon without a skip year like before!

Yvonne Orji, in a recent interview on the Dear Chelsea podcast, doesn’t only cover being a virgin but she tackles some other topics like the expected age she wanted to be married versus the age she is likely more ready to be married. She’d wanted to be married by 23 but feels that life has worked out as it should have for her to have accomplished as much as she did. At 39, she feels more ready to be married than ever.
Yvonne reminds us even though we have our desires—things may not always happen as we expect. We have to trust God’s bigger plan and keep moving forward. At 18, Yvonne expected to lose her virginity, but God had other plans. She was on her way to the club but a friend suggested Bible study before hitting up the club.

Review & Description
Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett were on the verge of becoming superstars when they came together for the first of their concert evenings at Carnegie Hall in the spring of 1962. Andrews was already a Broadway legend, performing in The Boyfriend, My Fair Lady and Camelot, though she was not yet a household name. Burnett had yet to make the leap to her own acclaimed primetime show but was grabbing attention for her hilarious bits on CBS's The Garry Moore Show and on Broadway in Once Upon a Mattress. The audience loved the show and the album, earning Burnett a second Emmy Award for her performance.
Andrews and Burnett would reunite at Lincoln Center for their second concert special which was broadcast live on CBS in 1971. By this time Andrews had become one of the biggest movie stars in the world and Burnett was one of television's brightest stars. The material again showcased the distinctive talents of both women and includes one of the most remarkable medleys in history in which the two sprint through forty-six notable songs that had been written since their previous concert special. The album was released in 1971 using the monaural soundtrack from the broadcast. Live at Lincoln Center has been newly re-mastered and is available for the first time on CD.

FUCKIN A!! I've seriously been looking for this song for about 10 years and last night, I finally found it. While recording Midnight Vultures in the late 90's, there were rumors that Kool Keith (who Rippy and I were obsessed with at the time) dropped by Beck's studio in Los Angeles and jammed with him for a day. I bought every possible single for MV and subsequent albums hoping it would show up as a B-side. No luck. Gave up a few years back and happened to remember it recently. Went looking deep in some superfan Beck sites and found it. Here is some other info on the sesh:
Sometime during the Midnite Vultures recording sessions in 1998-1999, Beck hooked up with rapper Kool Keith and recorded a couple of tracks. As he recalled in NME, "When we hooked up, we immediately wrote three songs together. We were completely on the same wavelength. Whatever our music planets, we're definitely on the same orbit."
"California Rodeo" is the name of one of these recordings. In July 2003, the lyrics showed up on Beck.com, and the song began to circulate among Beck fans in 2006. The song is indicative of when it was recorded, and has the full-on Vultures sound. Kool Keith gives shouts out to Beck and DJ Swamp (who was also on the track) in his long freestyles. Beck does the chorus part.
Here's the song if you want to jam it before DLing:

We are the ladies who no one, seemingly, cares about, who are made to really feel inadequate, silly and backward, and who inevitably have probably the most colossal inferiority complexes to be found. Yet, one is pressured to conclude that this isn’t the case in any respect, that an astonishing proportion of the white population finds it discomforting that Blacks should dare to feel so much glory in being superbly black. In the face of this sort of «reasoning,» the only conclusion one can logically come to is that there’s something mistaken with this society and its leadership. «The Man’s» opinion of God is sorry, to put it properly, and his opinion of himself is solely obscure and hazy. A good job has been done in this country, so far as convincing them of their inferiority is concerned. The common white community has informed us in 1,000,000 other ways and in no uncertain phrases that «God» and «nature» made a mistake when it got here to fashioning us and ours.
While having full hips, a spherical bottom, and thick thighs is celebrated, sporting a tummy or fleshy arms isn’t. I can guarantee you that singer Jill Scott and actress Gabourey Sidibe usually are not treated equally (though they are each lovely plus-sized women). Our experiences with food plan culture are at best, isolating, and at worst, demoralizing. Under the parable of the “strong Black lady,” our “strength” supersedes our humanity, and we’ve to contend with a society that demands we play both victim and savior. It’s this idea that Black ladies are one way or the other impervious to ills that plague our non-Black counterparts. As a fat, Black woman, that includes food regimen culture — however nothing might be further from the reality.

Geneva resident/model/talk-show host/columnist Jenny McCarthy says thanks to former beau and former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher "for being Chicago’s Hulk."
Geneva's most-famous resident made her usual splash in her Sun-Times column a couple days ago when she gave some spirited well-wishes to her former beau Brian Urlacher. Writing in her Sun-Times Splash column, Jenny McCarthy said goodbye and good luck to Brian following the news that Urlacher and the Bears couldn't come to a contract agreement and the all-pro linebacker would be taking his talent to the free-agent market. McCarthy said an earlier Urlacher quote about Chicago fans was taken out of context, because everywhere she went with Brian last summer (ah, those halcyon days), "he stopped and signed every autograph and took pictures with fans." When Urlacher's career is over and he's in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, McCarthy predicted…

Michael Jackson · Dancing Machine, 1974
If I Don’t Love You This Way - Jackson 5 (Dancing Machine, 1974)
"If I don’t love you this way, why do I say what I say? Yeah..
If I don’t need you this much, why do I ache for your touch? Yeah..”
Because he’s not lol. He’s not MJ’s son. He was never MJ’s son. And I’m already tired of hearing about this dude
You don’t need to apologize lol. It’s no big deal, my followers will always respond to things I answer :)
not really. especially since the whole B. Howard thing is a load of shit. That man has told people that he’s not actually MJ’s son and DNA tests confirmed that he isn’t a Jackson. And as for the part about Michael’s kids not being his
one could argue that Quincy Jones daughter, Rashida “doesn’t have a hint of african amercian in her” but she does. Her mother is white and her damn father was a black man WHO, I might add, has white ancestry in his family line, just like MJ does. All of the Jacksons do. So yeah, that part is definitely bullshit and you really shouldn’t care what the paternity of MJ’s kids are because it’s none of your fucking business :) And if you don’t think Michael’s youngest son is his
you need your damn eyes checked.
B. Howard is full of shit and the fact that he was born before, during or after Thriller is purely coincidental. One could also argue that Omer Bhatti is MJ’s bio son but he’s not. He’a just a kid who was lucky enough to resemble Michael so much so that he got to be close to MJ. And no one knows what Michael’s sex life was during those eras so…. yeah.
I just don’t get how people can believe prince and Paris are michaels kids tho they look nothing like him and show no trace of any African American in them. But when b Howard comes out
1. Looks just like a young michael Jackson
2. Same mannerisms , facial expressions,
3. Full African American
Everyone wants to say its bullshit?
People don’t realize he grew up with the Jackson’s he’s been with them his whole life he could’ve came out as mj son soooooo long ago you have no idea. He denied it for years when people asked him if he was michaels son he would always change the subject or act like he didn’t hear it. He didn’t want to be harassed like he’s going to be probably for the rest of his life. He’s a musician and wanted to carve out his own niche without being compared ( that didn’t last long ) but at least he tried . He was even at Katherine’s house when he found out about mj death .
That’s his son period.
Stop acting like michael never slept around and wasn’t capable of having kids. BLACK KIDS. B Howard was born a year before thriller right when mj was at the height of his career . Michael had women passing out at the sight of him . You honestly believe that Michael Jackson wasn’t FUCKING during off the wall/ thriller era?
lmao this entire post is full of shit. But nice try though, bruh
everyone is getting into relationships and growing up and im just getting lazier and finding more tv series to watch
i’m so possessive over people but like a quiet possessive because i dont want to be clingy so i kinda just angrily stare at people from afar

One thing is for certain, people and celebrities alike have noticed an increase in negative media turning them into massive tabloid stars overnight. There have not been many “Painfully Bad Music Videos” as of recently, but there have been music videos that use very controversial images and material to make a statement and brew conflict. For example, Miley Cyrus’s performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs was without a doubt one of the most repulsive musical acts in history. There was nothing sexy or seductive about the preformance and I think I speak for everyone in saying that everyone was a little shocked to see a once lovable Disney Channel star turn rogue and come out with a performance like that. But then again that was the point; shatter all prior assumptions and images of the stars innocent past so she can “reinvent” herself.
Now bear in mind that the video also has a majority of dislikes versus likes… but then again it also has 4+ million views in a little less than five months. Miley’s music video for her hit song Wrecking Ball has over 500 million views in just about 4 months, not to mention the endless number of parody videos on Vine and Youtube that glorify Miley even more. Again, though, notice the number of dislikes. There is almost a 50/50 split of likes to dislikes.
Now this may not seem all that relevant to “Painfully Bad Music videos”, but it is. It’s using bad publicity, or negative Publicity and turning it around to make millions and millions of dollars as well as being one of the hottest pop culture news topics. If there is one thing that tabloids and social media feeds off of more than anything, it’s OUTRAGEOUS or JAW-DROPPING gossip/drama. That’s how painfully bad music videos started. They took something that was bad and made it worse, with the intention of attracting attention. There really is no end to the material that could be used to negatively glorify oneself, which is why I do not believe this method of becoming famous will end–I actually think it will get bigger.


Royston Ellis with Jimmy Page (Late 1960 - July 1961)
Royston Ellis did performances of rock and roll poetry - rocketry - with the future founding member of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page from Late 1960 to July 1961, taking over The Shadows who became so in demand after the success of their single “Apache”. Only 3 of these performances can be pinpointed within 9 months:
• TV show with Jimmy, late 1960, on Southern Television (from Southampton, with Julian Pettifer)
• 4 March 1961, HERETICS society of Cambridge University
• Sunday 23 July 1961, the Mermaid Theatre, London
“I gave Jimmy Page his first stage and TV shows when he backed me reading my poetry...”
“This was after my stage and TV appearances with The Shadows, because they became so in demand, I had to find other musicians…”
“I appeared on television with Jimmy on Southern Television from Southampton, with Julian Pettifer, in late 1960.”
In fact, Jimmy Page already appeared on television with The J.G. Skiffle Group, performing 2 Skiffle numbers on Huw Wheldon's All Your Own talent quest programme.
“We did other shows together, too, in the 1960s…
There was one to the HERETICS society of Cambridge University on 4 March 1961 and another at the Mermaid Theatre, London, on Sunday 23 July 1961 which was just Jimmy and myself on stage as part of an evening of poets and actors (Ralph Richardson, Flora Robson, etc) reading works…”
“I used to appear with Jimmy alone (not with the group in which he played then, the Red Cats and managed by Chris Tidmarsh who later emerged as Neil Christian) although I think we may have recruited a bongo player for some dates…”
“Jimmy was sitting down in the background while I was lecturing.”
About that time, Jimmy Page was lead guitarist in a rock 'n' roll band called Red-E Lewis & The Red Caps and that was managed by Chris Tidmarsh who later emerged as singer “Neil Christian” fronting his Crusaders that also included Page on guitar. Tidmarsh was the guy who had shown Ellis how to use the Vick inhaler (see Royston Ellis & The Be"A"tles)…
“Yes, the Vick inhaler story has become part of drug legend. I was shown how to do that by a singer who later became Neil Christian and his guitarist, who used to accompany me in those days, Jimmy Page.”
The previous line up of the Red Caps left Red-E Lewis to team up with black singer Cuddy Duddley then emerged as the new version of Johnny Kidd’s Pirates from July 1961 to early 1962 and featuring lead guitarist Johnny Patto, bass player Johnny Spence and drummer Frank Farley.
By 1961, the “New Red Caps” were Jimmy Page on guitar, then nicknamed “Nelson Storm” after the 18th century admiral, “Jumbo” Spicer on electric bass and Jim “Tornado” Evans on drums.
In addition to being the lead guitarist of the Red Caps, Page used to backed Royston Ellis in a different way from his illustrious predessors, The Shadows and The Beatles. Page and Ellis were just accompanied on stage with a bongo player. This couple of musicians backed Ellis reading sequences of poems from his first book “Jiving To Gyp” and “Rave”, released in 1961.
“Jimmy composed his own music to back my poems - usually ones from JIVING TO GYP although I might have been performing the one with the line "Easy, easy, break me in easy" from RAVE”
The Mermaid show was the peak - and possibly the final one - of our stage performances.”
After their final stage performance together, at the Mermaid Theatre, London, in July 1961, they finally parted company and Jimmy Page toured throughout Britain with the Red Caps who had fallen out with Red-E Lewis and then became The Crusaders backing Chris Tidmarsh aka “Neil Christian”. Page began his career of recording session musician with Neil Christian & The Crusaders, on their first singles, released in late 1962 and summer 1963, just after he left them because of his delicate health. Jimmy Page met up Royston Ellis once again also in Guernesey, also in 1963…
“I remember that Jimmy visited me when I was in Guernsey in early 1963 and we did a TV interview on Channel TV….
We are still in touch and have met several times during the past decades... we are still firm friends...”

Maybe there's an evolutionary clarification for this phenomenon — since we do not know celebrities personally, studying about them by means of gossip may be extra worthwhile and attention-grabbing than hearing extra about associates who we do know personally already. An awesome majority of Republicans—at 74 percent—imagine it is probably that Donald Trump was wiretapped or in any other case subject to authorities surveillance whereas he was operating for president, in line with a CBS Information poll launched on Wednesday.
So if you want excellent news proper when it hits, Twitter is the place you might want to be. And we all know how Rome ended up. We nonetheless have time to make different decisions - it may begin with a decision on the first day of a brand new yr. Based mostly on these ratings, the scholars most well-liked listening to positive gossip about themselves than to optimistic gossip about their buddies or celebrities.

Barry Coulson is a songwriter with a somewhat checkered past. He likes it left at that.
In his teens, he began bringing songs he’d written to his first band who tolerated him by actually learning a few.
As a drummer, his idols were Keith Moon and John Bonham. Barry got their message loud and louder and sobered up twenty-five years ago.
Hearing one of his songs on radio for the first time was a great thrill, up there with his first drink, first ride in a police car and his first…you know.
From his many bands including, Elmer Thudd, The Texas Eskimos, The Safe Sex Pistols and The Boner Rockets, Barry has injected his life philosophy into his latest musical creation, “My Heart Is Deep In Country, But My Dick Loves Rock ‘n Roll.”
For much of his life, Barry has been judged as a “hopeless romantic.”
While he accepts that accusation, he’s not convinced about the “hopeless” part.

This profile was written by Tony on behalf of Sway.
With apologies to the terrific Charlie Mullins OBE, the MOBO Award winning rapper Sway may have stolen the starring spot at #MicroBizMattersDay Jan 9th 2015.
Sway hails from Hornsey in North London. He captured the public eye in September 2005 when he was named Best Hip-Hop Act at the tenth annual MOBO awards — a surprise upset over 50 Cent and the Game — despite being unsigned and before he’d even released an album. Despite the slew of label offers that predictably followed this triumph, Sway chose to remain independent, but his proper debut album did arrive the following year. It was critically hailed, making the shortlist (of 12) for the 2006 Mercury Prize, and led to another MOBO nomination and a BET award for “Best U.K. Hip-Hop Act.”
Sway has faced many traumatic events during his life which he would write about in songs. He witnessed the untimely deaths of his business partners Tayo and Olu, cousin Derek Dodoo and close friend Kaya, all of whom died in close proximity to each other. In 2009 he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma and took some time away from the music scene but continued when he came into remission.
Sway used his ability to attract some of the worlds greatest talents. He went out to talent competitions where he first came across a unique ginger haired singer song writer who he would then invite to his home and record songs with, they became friends and shortly after this period that person became known as the world-renowned Ed Sheeran.
He read and studied the music business and whilst he’d always been reluctant to sign to a record label, while rebuilding his own Dcypha Productions label, he realised he had never experienced what it was like to be a signed artist. He signed a publishing deal and “Still Speedin'” climbed the National UK charts landing Sway his first top 20 hit and the support of racing legends Lewis Hamilton and Nigel Mansell. Sway also starred in a guest role in the Channel 4 drama Top Boy. Sway’s next single “Level Up” written with Flux Pavilion during his Uni student days became Sway’s highest charting single to date landing at number 8 in the UK National charts.
Sway then returned to his original plan of building his own business with his label and curating new talent. Through his search he came across south London rapper/ singer, now Tiggs Da Author, who he took under his wing and signed to his revived Dcypha Productions label.
In July 2015 Dcypha Productions became an imprint of Island/Universal. Throughout the years of building his own business, with his longstanding team, Sway has continued to perform across Europe, North & South America, the Middle East and Africa alongside the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Example, Mark Ronson, The Streets and Public Enemy. His vast array of collaborations go from acts such as Kaiser Chiefs, Nicky Romero and Madness.
Sway remained independent in 2015 for the release of his long awaited “Deliverance” album. He wanted to keep the album away from “the machine” so it could serve its true purpose as a platform for a new chapter in Sway’s career.
Why I’m Supporting #MicroBizMattersDay
You can listen to why in his interview with Tony on the first #MicroBizMattersDay on January 8th 2015. Above all, Sway is a creative talent and business owner and the ability to control his own destiny and career and tell his own story is essential. As he says about ‘Deliverance’, the album:
“For me this album is about telling a story, about introducing new people, going from tragedies’ to triumphs and allowing myself to learn from mistakes and utilize my experiences to empower others, it’s a project I hope will connect with the right people over a long period of time…” Many people like Tina and Tony feel like this about their own businesses.

Oprah Cocaine Addict? Ex-Boyfriend Cook tells all.
Just a couple days before Oprah launches a week long Obama inauguration celebration, unsavory details have been leaked by multiple sources that cocaine might have been a secret problem. One source publishing this story is always looked at with the typical “eye roll” and chuckle, the National Enquirer. The real source of this story however, seems to be a pretty solid source since it was one of Oprah’s past lovers.
Randolph Cook is getting ready to have his revealing book hit the shelves titled, “The Wizard of O: My Life with Oprah.” Mr. Cook had a 6 month love affair with Oprah Winfrey and he claims there encounters were littered with sex, drugs and typical Hollywood drama. Not only does Mr. Cook claim Oprah was using cocaine with him but he also claims she was under the influence of cocaine while recording her hit talk show.
The book gets pretty descriptive of specific situations Cook had with Oprah. This quote reveals a graphic description of Oprah getting high while she made a “rock” of cocaine and baking soda in the tube and heated it, which is known as freebasing, Oprah “then put the lit torch on the rock, inhaled and held the smoke in her lungs for a long time. When she finally exhaled, she began to shake violently as she put the pipe down, she had trouble catching her breath and her eyes got big as saucers.” Mr. Cook goes on to reveal more of their cocaine experiences which led to being under the influence during show tapings, “We smoked at least a couple of times a week. Sometimes we would smoke up until her limo was waiting to take her to the studio to perform her show…A few times, she was still under the influence while doing her show.”
If you are a strong follower of Oprah you probably are aware she has admitted to doing cocaine before. Oprah said on her show that she had “tried” cocaine in the 1970′s because she was madly obsessed with a drug dealer. But the dates of the Randolph Cook relationship don’t fit into the 70′s, they fall into 1984. Cook states that he was taught by Oprah how to smoke crack cocaine and their wild experiences of sex and drugs began.
So what exactly is driving Cook to dump all of this revealing information in public right before Oprah gets even more exposure due to the Obama campaign? A death bed. Randolph Cook was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and he was given two years to live. Mr. Cook wants his story told and everyone to know the truth about Oprah before he dies with problems he says are because of Oprah.
It’s possible that Mr. Cook is just bitter and upset that his clock is ticking and Oprah is still flying high. There is more rubber that meets the road coming from the “oh-so” credible source, The National Enquirer. The Nation Enquirer claims they found a 17-page court document at the National Archives and Records Administration in Chicago in 2007. The Enquirer was investing Oprah’s past and is now ponying up their findings alongside their new publication and Mr. Cook’s book. The document their revealing is titled, “Defendent Oprah Winfrey’s Answer to Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint at Law,” and it basically lays out proof that Oprah and Cook had a hot sexual past while doing cocaine around each other.
It was only months ago that Oprah was crowned as the #1 Powerful Celebrity in 2008 by Forbes Magazine. You can read the Forbes article here. With Oprah pulling in $275 million a year and launching a new network called the, “Oprah Winfrey Network” it remains to be seen if she’ll remain bulletproof in the eyes of America and on her balance sheet. You can also check out the National Enquirer summary here, but to get the full story they want you to purchase the newsstand publication.

“If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.”
In her memoir, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her—from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it—in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Comments from other readers:
“This is a really candid biography. I think she makes her husband look an even better person than I already thought him to be. Life hasn’t been an easy ride for either of them.”
“Great book I would really recommend it, it was the first audio book I listened to and just loved how calming her voice is too.”

Woah, if there is a page with Paola Núñez nude clips and pics, we are definitely going to check it out! Paola was always a sure-fire success, and she is one of the most famous Mexican actresses worldwide in 2022. Let’s face it, not many non-Hollywood celebs get to become that famous and recognized all over the world, so you really must be charismatic or beautiful, but in a one-of-a-kind way. Everything about Paola Núñez screams beauty and sex appeal, and we loved her in her shows and movies! Some were racy, some were not, but at least we have something to work with!
Paola Núñez does not have too much risqué content on the web, and this is because she does not get naked often for her roles. Sure, she has plenty of lingerie and bikini scenes or sex scenes in which you cannot see her private parts that well. When it comes to having sex on screen, she eagerly does it! But when it comes to flashing her tits and ass for the views, she is more reluctant. So, you will not be very lucky if you want to see Paola Núñez nude.
One of Paola’s raciest movies is Amor en Fin. You have a lot of nudity here, and the movie is all about sex, drugs, and alcohol. Don’t we all love a good movie like that? And there is just something about the Mexicans because for some reason, we always see them as the most passionate nation there is! Even when they have sex in movies, they do it with so much passion that not many can copy or outmatch that. You cannot fake it – Mexican actors and actresses have so much chemistry and lust in them that they always film the sexiest erotic scenes.
Paola also got dirty in Sin Ella, which was in 2010. She was in her early 30s then, and she was a banger! Today she is 44, and she still has a body everyone wants to bang! We sure want to see it nude more often! Not only is Paola a sexy Latina, but she is also one of the most beautiful Mexican actresses you can find. She is also a producer, and this can be interesting to know if you are a big fan. She has also appeared in several famous American movies.


This performance was a kind of re-birth for James Brown. He himself wasn’t expecting the band to be so tight. If you watch his expressions during Sex Machine, he was shocked at the musicianship backing him. He shut down the show that night. And that bass is funky. Enjoy!


Grammy nominee David Nail will highlight Fair
Tuesday, April 29, 2014 9:39 AM
Grammy nominated David Nail was recently booked as Friday night’s grandstand entertainment for the Winneshiek County Fair.
“We’re real excited. He’s an up and coming entertainer,” said Fair Board member DeAnn Christopher.
The Fair begins Tuesday, July 8, and runs through Saturday, July 12.
Nail will take the stage at 7 p.m. Friday, July 11. Since his debut in 2009, Nail has had hits with singles about cheating (“Let it Rain”), breakups (“Red Light”) and failed dreams (“Turning Home”).
“Let it Rain” was Nail’s first No. 1 single on his critically acclaimed “The Sound of a Million Dreams” released in 2011. A native of Missouri, Nail has written four of the 11 tracks on his third album “I’m a Fire.” He also pays tribute to one of his heroes, Glen Campbell, by closing the album with his version of Campbell’s classic “Galveston,” with help from Lee Ann Womack.
New stage set up
Christopher said there will be a new stage set up for the Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday night performances.
“We are planning a new stage which will allow for more space for the audience and a better view from the entire grandstand,” Christopher said.
Fair buttons, which provide admittance to all grandstand entertainment, go on sale starting May 19. Buttons are $20 before the Fair and $25 during Fair week.
“It’s good for every night,” Christopher said.
The Fair kicks off Tuesday. The Bill Riley Talent Show is Tuesday afternoon. Opening ceremonies with the VFW begin at 3:30 p.m. followed by the fair queen coronation. The Distinguished Service Award will be presented afterward, and the Jim Busta Band gives a free performance from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Judging for the Winneshiek Medical Center’s “William Smith beard look-alike” contest begins at 6:30 p.m. in the grandstand. The contest is in conjunction with 100-year anniversary of Winneshiek Medical Center.
Cory Farley, the son of Brenda Kreitzer and Joe Farley, both of Decorah, performs in the grandstand Tuesday night. His current album “Songs From the Bed of My Truck” contains 11 original songs, 10 of which were solely written by Farley, who grew up in rural Decorah and now lives in Nashville.
Country music hit-maker Jason Michael Carroll from Youngsville, N.C. takes the stage Wednesday night. He is gearing up to release his first new album since 2011, featuring the single “Close Enough.”
After being discovered at a local talent competition in 2004 and later signed to the Arista Nashville label in 2006, Carroll released his debut album “Waitin’ In The Country.” The album produced three Top 40 hits, including “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin’ Our Love Song,” and “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead” and soared to number one on the US Country charts, selling nearly half a million copies. Both of Carroll’s following albums, “Growing Up Is Getting Old” and “Numbers” have charted on the Billboard Top 200.
He has opened for Brooks & Dunn, Trace Adkins and Alan Jackson, and was a featured part of Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride’s 2008 tour. He has also performed on Good Morning America, at the CMA Music Festival and at the Grand Ole Opry.
The always popular Upper Iowa Speedway stock car races are the featured entertainment Thursday night, and CC Bulls and Barrels return to the grandstand Saturday night.

“Hawaiian music legend Palani Vaughan died Thursday at the age of 72. Vaughan, inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame in 2008, is best known for albums honoring King David Kalakaua. He formed the “King’s Own” and began to study, compose, publish, record, and perform tributes to Kalakaua and Hawaii’s monarchy, recording four albums in the 1970s and early 1980s in honor of Kalakaua…. Vaughan’s most important legacy as a songwriter and recording artist is his four-album series honoring Kalakua…. Vaughan’s albums corrected the politically driven misrepresentation of Kalakaua’s character and documented his commitment to preserving and perpetuating traditional Hawaiian culture, embracing modern technology, and defending the Hawaiian people…. While the third and fourth ‘Ia ‘Oe E Ka La’ albums received Hoku Awards, he received the Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006” (Leila Fujimori, “Hawaiian Music Legend Palani Vaughan Dies,” Star-Advertiser, 12/8/16).
Comment by Elizabeth Keka’aniauokalani Moreno (12/10/16): “Mr Vaughan’s passing has come as a shock to many. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. He had a great spirit about him, and I, as a member of the Wilcox and La’anui family, will never forget his passion to learn, teach, and share. He still had so much more to do and was the reason SR 124/SCR 163 was proposed. My family hopes his efforts for this proposal will not be lost and will instead move forward in the near future as he thought deserving of my Great Great Grandfather, Robert Kalanihiapo Wilcox.”
Note from Senator Shimabukuro: “I am deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Palani Vaughan. I have enjoyed working with him on various issues at the legislature. I was always struck by how even in a simple email, his words read like the lyrics of a song. His son, Kilipaki, is my friend and classmate, and my heart and sympathy go out to the Vaughan ‘Ohana.”

(content note: reference to child molestation)
Did you know that Michael Jackson worked on Sonic the Hedgehog 3? It’s one of the most excruciatingly commonly told pieces of gaming trivia, so you probably did. Jackson’s work on Sonic 3 was part of a wider association with Sega that saw the star visiting Sega of America’s offices on a whim, a licensed game in Moonwalker, and the collaboration on the soundtrack of Sonic 3.
But things went bad. Before Sonic 3 was completed, Jackson was accused of some pretty heinous stuff, including child molestation. Sega was naturally keen to distance itself from him as court cases and settlements loomed with his reputation in tatters. The official line from Sega remains that Jackson’s contribution to Sonic 3, which was never formally announced, never even existed.
Fans who had connected the dots initially assumed Jackson’s music was cut from the game, with some accounts suggesting it was due to the molestation charges and others suggesting Jackson himself pulled his name and work from the game because he wasn’t happy with how it sounded on the Mega Drive sound chip. There’s quotes from people on all sides of the story backing up both narratives.
The generally accepted truth today, however, is that the music wasn’t cut at all: Michael Jackson delivered some of Sonic’s most beloved music.
Jackson himself isn’t credited in Sonic 3, but several names unfamiliar in the world of video game music appear: Brad Buxer, Bobby Brooks, Darryl Ross, Geoff Grace, Doug Grigsby III, and C. Cirocco Jones. These names formed Jackson’s writing team; they were musicians with a history of collaborating with him, and in the years since several of them have gone on the record talking about their experiences working with Jackson on Sonic 3. In a 2016 Huffington Post article, three of the six are unequivocal: Jackson worked on the game, and the music made it into the finished product.
For Jackson’s collaborators, it does appear there is a legal question around the game’s music.

*song hasn’t even started* this is The Beatles


Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé have redefined what a remix is supposed to be, with the drop of “Savage Remix.” “Savage,” originally by Megan Thee Stallion, was the second track on Megan’s EP, “Suga.”
The original version of the song had Megan doing what she does best, talking about how she is the best. The original debuted as number 47 on the charts, and also became a big TikTok trend.
One could believe that the song had reached its peak, but then Megan unexpectedly dropped the “Savage Remix” featuring fellow Houston resident Beyoncé. The best part about this remix is that they didn’t just add one Beyoncé verse and some new instruments in the background, they actually remixed the entire song. Megan added a new verse, and Beyoncé added adlibs all throughout the song.
The remix takes the important details from the original version, and then adds more in order to perfect it. Because of this, the “Savage Remix” is a perfection of a remix. It’s clear it wasn’t remixed just to jump on the popularity of the original version, it was remixed to create a better version. The original “Savage” was one of the many songs by Megan Thee Stallion in which she doesn’t censor how she feels, and the remix remained the same.
Beyoncé and Megan’s approach to this remix shows that they make a great duo. Beyoncé draws you into the song with her angelic voice, and Megan adds a roughness to it. For people who don’t like Megan’s aggressive style of rap, they’ll be pleasantly surprised by this remix. Beyoncé and Megan’s style balance each other out. And in a fantastic addition to the remix, not only does Beyoncé sing, she raps. The song is catchy, trendy, and makes you feel a whole new level of self-confidence. This remix is a summer hit, and it wouldn’t be shocking if this song was yet another song by Megan Thee Stallion that charted.
