Does anyone really take investment advice from Kim Kardashian? Even if not, the team behind Ethereum Max was interested enough in harnessing her star power that they paid the reality TV star and entrepreneur to hype their token on instagram to her 251 million followers back in May.
In an Instagram story that at least noted it was an “#ad” the socialite said: "Are you guys into crypto???? This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends just told me about the Ethereum Max token! A few minutes ago Ethereum Max burned 400 trillion tokens—literally 50% of their admin wallet giving back to the entire E-Max community."
The post immediately drew condemnation and questions about whether the new and relatively unknown project was legit, and the outrage continues to this day. Despite promotional efforts, the token never really took off and currently trades for around $0.000000017659, according to data from Coingecko.
Kardashian is hardly alone in pushing crypto on her fans and followers. Crypto may be revolutionary, but some backers are marketing it with the oldest trick in the book: the celebrity endorsement. With crypto moving from a niche investment to a more mainstream asset class, celebrities are increasingly looking to cash in. Many are even making bank with their own NFTs.
So, what’s the problem? Endorsing a potentially volatile financial product isn’t exactly the same thing as hawking sneakers or breakfast cereal. Famous faces can risk unwittingly becoming associated with a scam or even just becoming a target for the ire of those who consider crypto a bubble at best and a Ponzi scheme at worst.
The backlash has reached such a fever pitch that Ben MacKenzie, who played hunk from the wrong side of the tracks Ryan Atwood on the teen soap The OC, has penned an article urging his fellow thespians not to boost crypto in which he called “the Hollywoodization of crypto” a “moral disaster.”
With the market cap of cryptocurrencies surpassing $1 trillion, though, it’s unlikely that we’ve seen the last of celebrities promoting cryptoor that matter, the last of the scandals stemming from it. For now, we took a look at the celebrities that have already faced blowback for pumping crypto products.
Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather and Paul Pierce
That EMAX tweet? It recently got Kardashian sued. And not just her but also other celebrities who hyped EMAX, including the professional boxer Floyd Mayweather and former NBA star Paul Pierce.
Mayweather had talked up the token at a Bitcoin conference he attended in June, with the boxer and his team wearing tee-shirts promoting the token, and further promoted it days later during his high-profile fight with YouTuber Logan Paul.
Pierce, meanwhile, inserted EMAX into the discussion of his public break with ESPN after the network fired him from a commentator position for publicly posting a video of himself at a gathering with strippers. “@espn I don’t need you, I got @ethereum_max I made more money with this crypto in the past month than I did with y’all in a year,” the ex-baller tweeted in May.
The lawsuit, filed Jan. 7 in California federal court by a New York investor hoping to represent a class of people who bought EMAX, claims the A-listers colluded with EMAX executives Steve Gentile, Giovanni Perone and Justin French to pump and dump the tokens, leaving investors who bought in because of the celebrities’ endorsements holding mostly worthless assets.
EMAX denied the allegations to CBS News, with a company spokesperson saying "the deceptive narrative associated with the recent allegations is riddled with misinformation about the EthereumMax project. This project has prided itself on being one of the most transparent and communicative projects in the cryptocurrency space.”
But the suit isn’t the only time there have been legal questions about the celebrity involvement with EMAX. Back in September, Kardashian’s instagram post faced scrutiny from UK financial regulators, who issued a warning cautioning the public against buying into crypto hyped by influencers.
For movie star Matt Damon, the backlash came for appearing in an ad spot for crypto exchange Crypto.comThe outcry seemed to focus less on concerns that he might be leading unsuspecting investors astray than from the ad’s undeniable cheesiness.
In the one-minute long commercial, the Oscar winner, dressed in all black, walks through a stark, white museum-like gallery while musing on human achievement, and the difference between those who almost get there and those who do, while figures like astronauts and mountain climbers appear around him. Reflecting on “moments of truth” he intones that in such moments “these mere mortals, just like you and me, as they peer over the edge, they calm their minds and steel their nerves with four simple words that have been whispered by the intrepid since the time of the Romans: Fortune favors the brave.”
The spot ends with The Martian star coming to the end of the gallery and gazing out a large window at a red planet before the words Crypto.com appear on the screen.
The ad was roundly mocked in the Twittersphere to the point where Damon’s name started trending. For example, journalist Adam Johnson tweeted “saddest thing about Matt Damon's macho-baiting crypto pitch where the viewer must ACT NOW or he's a weak pussy is that this is a top 3 classic pitch all financial schemes have used to goad men into forking over their paltry savings. Nothing has changed in 150 years.” The New York Times’ Mike Baker tweeted “that Matt Damon ad makes me fear that one day i will be forced to learn about crypto in the same way i was forced to learn about mortgage-backed securities.”
The tweetstorm led to a slew of headlines dissing Damon and his participation in the ad, and think pieces on what it means for celebrities to be doling out investment tips.
Damon might not be pleased by the attention, but Crypto.com, which has been on a publicity blitz that included shelling out $700 million (in what we can assume is fiat currency) to rename a Los Angeles sports arena after it, likely is. The ribbing of Damon made the ad go viral. So far, it’s been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube.
While Damon has been subject to ridicule rather than legal repercussions, a pair of unrelated Crypto.com ads were banned by the U.K.’s advertising authority while the ad with him in it was still making news.
Another Oscar winner who has felt the wrath of Twitter for getting involved with crypto is Reese Witherspoon. The Legally Blonde star is known for her Southern charm, supporting women in the film industry and, now, apparently, her devotion to crypto and the metaverse.
While Witherspoon hasn’t come under fire for a paid promotional gig, her tweets in support of a crypto-led future have led to a lot of mockery.
A recent tweet in which the actress asked followers “In the (near) future, every person will have a parallel digital identity. Avatars, crypto wallets, digital goods will be the norm. Are you planning for this?”, was met with jokes and criticisms. Much like with Damon, the fallout morphed from Twitter posts into news items across the media.
But the much maligned tweet wasn’t even Witherspoon’s first foray into the digital asset world. She has tweeted about NFTs and crypto before, including encouraging women to get more involved in the space, without garnering the same level of attention and criticism.
It could be that some of the backlash against Damon also touched Witherspoon, as many seemed to lump them together into a celebrity crypto-shilling duo. “A weird thing about Reese Witherspoon and Matt Damon is realizing that no matter how much money and fame you have, you will always take another paycheck. Neither of them NEEDS to advertise Crypto. But they can't say no to the check,” tweeted writer and translator Zack Davisson.
Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t faced the same level of vitriol as fellow actors Witherspoon and Damon for her crypto boosting – perhaps because the public is already used to her standing behind questionable merchandise like jade vagina eggs. But the Goop founder, better known for her wellness and beauty products, has still taken some heat for getting into the crypto space.
After tweeting out a link to a very friendly Q&A on Goop’s website with Bill Barhydt, founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency-exchange app Abra, Paltrow faced criticism for failing to point out that she herself serves as an advisor to Abra.
Paltrow has been open about her involvement with Abra elsewhere, though, and has also been public about other crypto ventures, including her equity investment in Bitcoin miner TeraWulf.
Like Witherspoon, Paltrow has been vocal about trying to get more women to take part in crypto. But being a big name attached to crypto investments hasn’t always yielded positive press for Paltrow. When shares of TeraWulf slumped after its public trading debut, headlines were quick to proclaim the connection to the high-profile star.
And when Paltrow teamed up with Cash App for a $500,000 Bitcoin giveaway, it prompted the usual grumbling that the actress and entrepreneur should already be rich enough not to need to engage in such obvious shilling.
Floyd Mayweather (yes, again) and DJ Khaled
Turns out the EMAX suit isn’t Mayweather’s first time getting dinged for flying the crypto flag. Back in 2018, the boxer and dj turned record executive DJ Khaled were both fined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to let their followers know they were being paid to promote initial coin offerings they were hyping up.
The SEC claimed that both stars hadn’t made it clear that they received payments from Centra Tech – a project that later saw its founders sentenced to prison time for using its $25 million ICO to commit fraud. It further alleged that Mayweather didn’t disclose payments he got for advertising two other ICO’s, including one that had him tweeting "You can call me Floyd Crypto Mayweather from now on."
Though neither celebrity admitted or denied the agency’s accusations against them, they both agreed to pay fines and to lay off promoting any securities, digital or otherwise, for several years.
Mayweather agreed to pay $300,000 in disgorgement, a $300,000 penalty, and $14,775 in prejudgment interest. While DJ Khaled, whose legal name is Khaled Khaled, agreed to pay $50,000 in disgorgement, a $100,000 penalty, and $2,725 in prejudgment interest.
The fines against the athlete and the entertainer may not have been huge, but they were history making. They marked the first time the agency sought to bring cases related to touting ICOs.
The pair were later named in a lawsuit brought by investors in the Centra Tech ICO, but ultimately managed to dodge the case.
Mayweather and DJ Khaled may have been the first fined by the SEC over ICOs, but they weren’t the last. In September 2020, Atlanta-based rapper T.I., whose legal name is Clifford Harris Jr., reached a settlement with the agency over fraudulent cryptocurrency offerings.
The Grammy-winning artist agreed to cough up $75,000 for promoting ICOs from two companies, Flik and Coinspark, controlled by film producer Ryan Felton.
Felton claimed that FLiK would become an entertainment streaming platform and that CoinSpark would build a new cryptocurrency trading exchange. Instead, Felton allegedly used his investors’ cash to buy a Ferrari, a million-dollar home and diamond jewelry.
T.I.’s role in the doomed ventures included selling FLiK tokens on his social media accounts and falsely holding himself out to be FLiK’s co-owner while encouraging his followers to invest in the ICO, according to the SEC. The agency stated that he had also roped a “celebrity friend” into boosting the ICO on social media. That friend was likely Kevin Hart, who tweeted in 2017 that he was “super excited” for T.I. and his new venture FLiK.
T.I. neither admitted nor denied the agency’s claims, but he did seek to distance himself from Felton, who was indicted over the alleged fraud. The rapper “never received a dollar from Mr. Felton’s failed venture and immediately removed his name from it once he learned that the project was undeveloped,” T.I.’s attorney Henry E. Mazurek told Reuters when the news broke.
Elon Musk, the CEO and co-founder of Tesla and SpaceX, is both one of the world’s richest industrialists and a pop-culture celebrity with as much influencer power as Kardashian. (Both have roughly 70 million Twitter followers.) He’s also probably crypto’s most famous fan — millions of people around the world tuned in to his appearance as a host on Saturday Night Live last year and heard him mention crypto on several occasions
Musk does stand apart from most of the other celebrities on this list in one regard, though: he’s no paid spokesman. His enthusiasm for crypto stems from his own genuine interest (and, maybe sometimes, from his love of trolling). Like just about everything having to do with Musk, his crypto evangelism has been polarizing, especially when it comes to the meme coin Dogecoin.
Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency started as a joke that then took on a life of its own, counts Musk as a consistent supporter. Its first rally came after Musk tweeted that he owned three cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ether and Dogecoin. Ever since the price of Dogecoin is often seen as rising on the back of Musk’s tweets whenever he mentions it.
As Musk’s May 8 SNL debut approached, prices for the coin started climbing. But once Musk was unleashed on the studio audience (and the much larger audience watching at home) he joked about Dogecoin both in his monologue, which featured his mother saying she hoped he wasn’t planning to gift it to her, and in a Weekend Update segment where played a financial expert who couldn’t answer the question “so what is Dogecoin?” and called it “a hustle.”
It’s unclear exactly why the jokes sent prices down, perhaps because it was hoped Musk might have said something more positive about Dogecoin as he so often had online, but Musk was blamed for the plunge and faced unflattering media coverage.

Verckys Kiamuangana Mateta is one of the most influential
figures in the history of Congolese (Zaïrean) music. As a saxophonist,
composer and bandleader he was able to rival both Franco and Rochereau.
He developed his own honking, gutbucket style of sax playing which
characterised some of the most exciting music of the 1960s and 70s.
Verckys was a great showman who liked to play up to the crowd.
He really let fly during the sebenes occupying a musical space which
had previously been the preserve of solo guitarists only. After
generating some raucous excitement as a member of OK Jazz he founded
Orchestre Vévé in 1969. He has been credited with
creating the cavacha beat that led on to soukous. In effect, Verckys
unique studio sound, his unerring ear for talent and unquenchable
enthusiasm turned him into the godfather of modern Congolese music.

(Dated: 23 Feb 14)
I had long decided to write on her for my next post, but when i actually sit down and try to put my thoughts into words here, i realised it’s not an easy thing to do because for one simple fact that i am not her, so it can only be based on limited knowledge. But still, i went ahead.
Audrey Hepburn. She is (still) famous for the movies she had acted in. But more often than not, she has been widely recognised as the fashion icon during her era. I mean who wouldnt agree with me that her natural beauty is a God-given. Just look at those eyes, nose and mouth! I dont think she has gone under the knife, seriously. Okay, you say make up, that i definitely have to agree. But in any case, there were photos of her not in thick make up, still she outshined. So talking about 美女, this has to be one, obviously!
I mean just look at her, every photo is simply gorgeous!
And Audrey is not one that only has the looks, she definitely has the heart; a kind heart.
Towards the last few years of her life, she was active in humanitarian works. Being a survivor during the Germany war, she was thankful that she could come out of hell, surviving. Her heart felt for the children, esp those in poverty. She decided to put compassion into actions, and went into the poorest countries like Somalia, Ethiopia and Honduras, doing something for the deprived children over there. By this time, she was already quite sick, but still that didnt stop her for doing her part to help the poor. She’s truly a beauty inside out!
We see many of her photos around nowadays, esp those used for classy home decor. To me, she IS very classy and beautiful. Oh, btw, theres even a website set up and named after her and its purpose is obvious. Make a guess? 🙂
Yes, you got it!
To help the poor children. (Children’s funds)
Thank you Audrey for making a difference, to those children, to the entertainment industry & to the fashion industry. You are simply awesome. ��
Audrey Hepburn (1929 – 1993)


I was saddened to learn of the passing of actor Andy Whitfield. He shined in his career although it was far too short. The current storyline “I am Spockticus” was inspired by him and the current production Spartacus series. I wish the best for his family and am officially dedicating the entire storyline to him. YOU WERE SPARTACUS!


Before The New York Times published its story exposing the many allegations of sexual harassment that have been brought against producer Harvey Weinstein, JAY-Z had been working with him and The Weinstein Company on a few documentary projects—specifically Spike’s Time: The Kalief Browder Story and an upcoming Trayvon Martin series. Weinstein has now been fired from the production company he co-founded, but JAY-Z might not be finished working with The Weinstein Company. In fact, TMZ says that he might even be interested in partly taking over Weinstein’s 23 percent stake.
JAY-Z isn’t the only one preparing to possibly make this bid, though, as TMZ says he’s working with a few other investors “including a famous movie producer and a billionaire.” It’s unclear why this billionaire in particular can’t just take over Weinstein’s stake themselves, but it’s probably because JAY-Z is the one spearheading this plan.

There was one surefire way to become a recognized stand-up comedian in West Africa back in the day, and that was performing on the biggest comedy stage—a concert tagged “Night of a Thousand Laughs.”
That feat, however, was easier said than done.
You had to grab one of the few rookie spots available every year—and that did not mean performing in front of Simon Cowell and his friends on American Idol.
Auditions were held in a bar in the middle of the night with established members of the Nigerian entertainment industry. By the time you were called to perform, they were likely drunk or even high.
It didn’t seem like an audition as much as it did an inquisition. It was as if an unspoken question hung in the air: How dare you assume that you are funny enough to be a comedian?
In this book, Teju ‘Babyface’ Oyelakin shares how an unlikely fresh-faced newbie became one of Africa’s foremost stand-up comedians and most successful talk show hosts—as well as twenty-three secrets that anyone can use to make money with their talent and live out their dreams.

Jackson owes $5.3 million
Jury returns verdict in favor of concert promoters
By Elizabeth Rodriguez
Entertainer Michael Jackson reneged on a contract with Marcel Avram and will have to pay the concert promoter $5.3 million for failing to perform at two millennium concerts, a Superior Court jury in Santa Maria decided Thursday.
Both sides claimed victory following announcement of the jury’s verdict, which came after a week of deliberations.
“Mr. Avram has been completely vindicated,” said the concert promototer’s attorney, Louis “Skip” Miller, outside the courthouse. Avram was in his home in Switzerland.
Avram claimed in his lawsuit that he lost millions of dollars when Jackson failed to perform in the millennium shows in Australia and Hawaii. Jackson, whose Neverland Ranch is in the Santa Ynez Valley, countered that Avram actually cancelled the shows months before.
“He’s very happy.” Miller said of his client. “It’s not just money; this is very important to him. It was his character, it was his integrity that the jury accepted.”
The money was awarded to Avram was for loss of profits. Despite the win, Miller said he will appeal some of Judge Zel Canter’s rulings that prohibited the jury from considering other damages.
Jackson’s attorneys said the $5.3 million ruling was a success considering the amount Avram sought in the lawsuit. “Facing the realities as they are, it was a victory,” said Zia Modabber.
Steve Cochran, Jackson’s lead attorney, would not discuss his client’s financial status, but did call the ruling a “financial success.”
“Mr Avram wanted to take off (Jackson’s) head for $34 million,” he said. “It was in his interest it fight.”
After the trial, members of the jury met with the attorneys and discussed issues in the case. Jurors asked the attorneys and their assistants for their autographs.
Some jurors said there were tense moments during the week-long deliberations, but they were able to solve disagreements peacefully.
“Nothing was out of control,” said one juror.
Some of the jurors said they became friends during the four month trial, and planned to get together in the future.
The trial received international attention when it began late last year, especially during Jackson’s several appearances in Santa Maria to testify. Hundreds of fans gathered outside the courthouse to watch his arrival and some were given tickets to sit in the courtroom. Jackson’s face and courtroom antics also made headlines.
In contrast, at Thursday’s verdict reading, only local media representatives were present.


What can we learn from the history of others, even celebrities?
For years women have taken the initiative to “invite themselves” to the table of success. The film and television industry is no different. In this brief about Lucille Ball’s life, we can see the tenacity required to create success.
I may be dating myself, but some of you will remember to whom I’m referring. An icon, Lucille stood out in all of the entertainment industry as a comedian and television producer. It wasn’t just her red hair, her beautiful and bright smile, the jokes she often shared as a comedian, or the man she married from Cuba. It was merely her personality that drew many her way. Lucille Ball was an amazing actress, businesswoman, and legend. Her shows consisted of “I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, and “Here’s Lucy” all while she was an up-and-coming TV executive.
When we make up our minds, all things are possible.
She appeared in over 72 movies, which eventually led her to meet her husband, Desi Arnaz. During their marriage, the two knew Lucy was on to something with “I Love Lucy” and created a strategy that would defeat the predictions of it not having the ability to become successful. Developing a marketing strategy to create demand ultimately placed her in the driver’s seat of her career and allowed her to generate wealth. She followed her passion and allowed her intuitive creativity to guide her choices instead of settling for less than she envisioned.
After negotiating her way through Hollywood, her show began airing daily, and fans couldn’t wait to watch the next season. Ball became the first woman to run a television studio. It was unmatched for six years, and four of its seasons were rated No. 1 in the country. There were so many lessons embedded with each episode. I thought I would share a few here.
What were the messages Lucy conveyed?
Women were equally important in the workplace.
Friends were essential and were worthy of acknowledgment.
Love should be the foundation of marriage, and it’s not always perfect.
We can achieve many things if well managed. However, never let them become overwhelming because they will always end up messy.


I realize if you born after 1979 you have no idea how big of a hero John Wayne was. To say he was an American icon is not an overstatement. He wasn’t an actor as much as he was a persona. Every little boy wanted to be him. Very few achieved such cultural stature; Ali, Kennedy, Marilyn… maybe. But the Duke crossed boundaries that even limited those I mentioned. He seemed to represent the best of America.
He was born in 1907. I know that because that was the same year Oklahoma became a state. And I know that because I was born on the same day as Oklahoma statehood (not the same year). Anyway, I digress.
He appeared in over 175 films over a 50 year span. He beat cancer once by having several ribs removed (circa 1964). After his death in 1979, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The highest awards given to non-military citizens. Maybe a handful of individuals have received both. The image of John Wayne was bigger than life. He embodied the American ideal.
Well, in perfect Hollywood fashion, they want to try to copy it. Hollywood, so help me… if you mess this up, I will hire an evil genius to shoot two missiles into the San Andreas fault line and cause an earthquake that will make California fall into the ocean!
The REAL Rooster (3 minute mark has most memorable moment from the film)
If you’re really a fan, here’s one of my favorite quotes that is very timely.


The Beatles overrated and got they music from black people
And Elvis was an unoriginal and mocked James Brown.
And Marilyn Monroe’s whole persona was a copy of Dorothy Dandridge and other black women
Iggy Azalea and Macklemore couldnt even challenge a D-list rapper and win.
My fiancé and I just recently moved in together at the beginning of August and these days are becoming the happiest, most relaxed days of my life. After 5 years of long distance, we’re finally together in a new place with new people, new experiences and I couldn’t be any happier to do it with someone else.
Skirts are straight LEGIT 👌
I Am such a Queen tonight.
You are beautiful

The usual Saturday morning BBC Radio Bristol presenter has been away for the past couple of weeks, so there have been no poem subjects set to inspire my weekly witticisms. However, two recent high-profile celebrity deaths did prompt me to put together a couple of poetic tributes, one in honour of the wonderful 'Dame Edna', who needs nothing more by way of introduction, and the second for Len Goodman, well known in the UK as former head judge of Strictly Come Dancing and in the USA for a similar role on Dancing With The Stars.
Dame Edna RIP
Dame Edna gave us laughter, awe and wonder.
I'd hoped news of 'her' death had been a blunder.
But alas the housewife megastar did die
To host her chat show somewhere up on high
Tho' her Aussie body goes six feet down under.
Len Goodman RIP
I heard the news at quarter-past eleven
That Len Goodman had shuffled off to Heaven.
I hear he sent a message from on high
Asking friends and fans: "Please do not cry"
"It's quite alright up here, I give it SEVEN!!!!"


Singing | Notes | Photos | Symbol | MemoriamElizabeth Parcells, coloratura soprano, was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1951. She displayed musical and singing talent early. At age 16 she began voice lessons and went on to the Interlochen Arts Academy, Michigan to concentrate on her music. She earned her Bachelor (1974) and Master (1977) of Music with honors at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts, where she studied voice with Mark Pearson.
She was a winner of the 1977 Metropolitan Opera Council National Finals in New York City which helped launch her professional singing career. She soon moved to Europe where she joined the ensembles of several opera theaters in Germany; Augsburg, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Stuttgart and Basel.
Her opera roles included many favorites from the coloratura repertoire such as Olympia in Tales of Hoffmann, Norina in Don Pasquale, Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, Queen of the Night in the Magic Flute, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor and Maria Stuarda. Her American opera credits include Michigan Opera Theater in Detroit, Boston Lyric Opera, and The Washington Opera in D.C.
Elizabeth Parcells was awarded a Pro Musicis Foundation sponsorship in 1977 that began her professional recital career. She debuted in New York at the Kaufmann and at Merkin Hall, at Boston's Jordan Hall, and in San Francisco. Her association with Pro Musicis extended to Europe where she sang in Paris, Rome, Chartres and Bourges. Her farewell recital was given at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York in February 2005 under Pro Musicis' sponsorship.
During her concert career, she sang on many international festivals such as Tanglewood,Salzburg, Touraine, Bologne, Colorado, Eschternach (1983), Luxemburg, Melk, Lisbon, Rheingau, Huddersfield and Torino. She has recorded for broadcasts and on CD with the BBC, National Public Radio, Radio France, WDR Cologne and with the Radio Luxembourg Orchestra with Leopold Hager conducting.
Her recordings include “A Jenny Lind Gala” on Northeastern Records, Cantata 51 on Forlane, and “Night and Dreams” on KOCH. She also appears on a CD of theremin music with Lydia Kavina called "Music from the Ether." She worked together with Felix Justen for over ten years on the Duo for Voice and Guitar, a project in which she takes great personal pride. The 1974 performance of "Paradiso Choruses" by Donald Martino is now available from New World Records. This was a student performance at the New England Conservatory where Elizabeth is clearly heard among 300 student performers as the high soprano Beatice/Virgin of the Rose in Dante's vision of Heaven.
After living and working in Europe for twenty years, in 1997 she returned home to Michigan, where she now lives quietly due to a serious illness. She is publishing some of her work here on this website to keep her music available to a listening audience and to raise awareness about the health threat posed by colorectal cancer today.


I am not mad at MTV and I don’t care about the VMAs – they have always been more about shock and performances than any sort of actual award. But this Miley Cyrus discussion we are all having is pretty interesting.
I told my BFF this past June that I hated MC. He told me to give her new song “We Can’t Stop” a listen because it was awesome. I did. And it is. I downloaded it and love running to it because it’s catchy. Then I watched the video and thought – “sweet jesus, what producer greenlighted that hot mess?” before carrying on with my days and the occasional listen of La Da Di Da Di. But fast forward to this week and I think that everything she did on Sunday night is career ending unless she makes some drastic changes and fast. Parents are upset. Kids are screened from MTV. Those that loved her as Hannah Montana don’t know what to do with this moonshoe-kicking, tongue-wagging robot-looking star. And anyone who ever thought she had a good voice has since watched her VMA performance and knows that Sméagol could out sing her.
Where could she go from here? My guess: She will try to outdo herself and be more shocking. (I can’t even imagine what she’d replace those foam fingers with)
But I think that this week is her peak – she is the subject of every watercooler discussion, most Tweets and Facebook posts and every parents group that has an August meeting. Her album sales are off the charts. People love talking about her and she loves that #fact.
But she isn’t an artist. She isn’t a good singer. And if we are going to talk about twerking, let’s make sure to give twerk-credit where credit is due. (You can’t twerk with that skinny ass, Miley Ray)
Sadly, she is a young girl who society loved for being provocative and shocking until she got too provocative and too shocking. And we don’t have a lot of tolerance for that. She’s like the girl who found a job right after graduating from a party school and wasn’t told that employers don’t find her “schmammered” stories from Thirsty Thursday as funny and endearing as her sorority sisters used to. She’s the girl who was told she looked so good after losing weight that she became anorexic to keep the compliments coming. She is the one that claims to care so little about what other people think that “She can do what she wants to,” and yet all she actually cares about is what people think. She is a moth to the flame of attention and though she is riding high this week (maybe literally), she is burned up.
I find her disgusting. I want to spray “bitter apple dog spray” on her tongue every time it pops out her mouth. I thought she was seriously inappropriate (as my friend Martha said “Ok, we get it. You’re having sex”), I thought her dancing looked like she was full of ball-bearings, dragging her side to side, her hair was just plain ugly and she ruined Blurred Lines for the majority of us 30-somethings who found it to be our song of the summer. But I also feel some societal guilt. Because we bought her song. We watched the music video. And we encouraged her with attention, only to say “stop” when we assumed this 20 year old (SHE IS TWENTY) would know we think she’s gone too far. Because we expected that this girl born into stardom would know when it was too much. Ha!
I, like most people who found her outrageous performance to be outrageous, hope that she doesn’t rise to further fame because of her patent leather undies. But I don’t want to see her fail. Instead, I’d love to see a time when she took a breather and came back with real strength (not this perceived strength she boasts). I would love for her to say “Man, there is nothing attractive about me catching flies with my tongue. I am going to focus on my career and bring you something not just unique, but talented. I’ll be back when I am ready.” If she can make good music, then we’ll listen to her once again. And maybe after some time and healing, we’ll even consider watching her again.
But if she doesn’t go down that path – if she continues to look more than Lady Gaga crazy with less than Lady Gaga talent and artistry, she will be washed up and on Surreal Life before we know it. And we’ll all watch her destruction happen just like we have Amanda Bynes’. It’s your party and you can do what you want, after all. Just don’t ask for privacy during “this difficult time” when you showed no privacy getting yourself there.

Happy Birthday Harry!!!
This great Google Banner celebrates the masters birthday.
Ehrich Weizs was born on March 24th, 1874 in Budapest BUT he would later claim is birthday as April 6th 1874. This second date represents his adoption of the USA as his home.
The Weiss family came to the United States on July 3, 1878, sailing on the SS Fresia. With his pregnant mother and his father there were his four brothers. The family changed the Hungarian spelling of their German surname into Weiss (the German spelling) and the spelling of their son’s name into Ehrich. Friends called him “Ehrie” or “Harry
Harry’s show biz career wasn’t an immediate success and he worked in small side shows and carnival booths presenting himself as the King of Cards.
He is remembered for his highly publicized, dramatic and provocative escapes. This phase of his career started when he changed his billing from King of Cards, to King of Handcuffs.
His act evolved to include the ‘challenge escapes’ which for the most part were promotional stunts for his full evening shows.
The Myth of Houdini is, in reality, less interesting than Houdini the Man.
A master showman, entrepreneur, adventurer and self-publicist who captured the spirit of the time. His shaking off of chains a shackles could be seen a as a metaphor for the triumph of the individual over the bonds of the Great Depression.
His stance on aspects of the paranormal, his invitation to comment on aspects of mediumship to the scientific community and membership of the Society of American Magicians committee for the investigation of claims of the paranormal show not only his acute awareness of there being a ‘market’ for his evenings of fraudulent medium demonstrations but also his desire to take a skeptical approach to all claims of ‘real magic’.
But all of this is perhaps a topic for future posts…
For now it’s a Houdini Day and I’ll be talking about Houdini as an inspiration, as an entertainer and a skeptic on Penwith Radio later today (4pm -6pm GMT)
On a related note, Dorothy Young, the last surviving stage assistant of illusionist Harry Houdini and an accomplished dancer, has died. She was 103.
Young’s death was announced Wednesday by Drew University, where she was a prominent donor and patron of the arts. Spokesman Dave Muha said she died Sunday at her home in a Tinton Falls, N.J., retirement community.
Young joined Houdini’s company as a 17-year-old after attending an open casting call during a family trip to New York. She initially sat in the back because she was too shy to step forward, but Houdini and his manager soon noticed her and asked her to dance the Charleston. They signed her to a contract, and she eventually persuaded her parents to let her join the stage show.
During her year with Houdini in the mid-1920s, she gained recognition for playing the role of Radio Girl of 1950, emerging from a large mock-up of a radio and performing a dance routine. She also performed other roles during the tour, which proved to be Houdini’s last in the United States before he died in October 1926, two months after she had left the show .
Young then formed a dance act with Gilbert Kiamie, a New York businessman and the son of a wealthy silk lingerie magnate, and they gained international prominence for a Latin dance they created known as the rumbalero. They later married and remained together until Kiamie died in 1992.
Young went on to perform in several movies and also published a novel inspired by her career. She later became a benefactor of Drew University, endowing it with a $13 million arts center that bears her name. Several of her paintings hang in buildings on its campus in Madison.
She also attended numerous events at the school over the years. One of her last appearances there was in October 2008 for a commemoration of the 82nd anniversary of Houdini’s death that featured an inner circle of Houdini enthusiasts and historians.
Young had a son with her first husband, Robert Perkins, who died after 13 years of marriage.


I for one am old enough to remember this woman and her brilliance. On top of that, I’ve been in the music biz long enough to have experienced her (though indirectly) studio work so I know what a perfectionist, pain-in-the-butt, slave driver she was at the height of her career. WTF happened? Maybe one or two of these videos will shed some insight for anyone interested in such info. I sure am.
I am posting this because I just say a tour poster for Whitney while I was in town the other day. Apparently she’s on her way here sooner than later. So I figured I’d dig up something worth sharing besides the music, you know? All that you can easily find in YouTube I’m sure! But this interview? Might be a bit harder to come by. Either way, if you haven’t seen it and you’re a Whitney fan then it’s a must see.
Yeah, I knew that’d get your attention. Freak-os! She’s a girl and I’m sure they’re friends but thats as far as it goes. My GM’s 93 years old in that picture. When I think of that and look at that pic, I’m like “Damn, I hope I’m healthy and hanging out with girls like that in 50 years!” Goddess knows it ain’t happening now, LOL!
I might have mentioned in an earlier post that her man (my Grandfather Joseph) died a month ago and as far as I know she’s doing quite well considering. I’ll track her down one of these days, latest January when I’m back in the U.S.S.A! I LOVE YOU GRANDMA! I’m waiting for details about who the photographer is. I’m hoping it’s a relative. Stay tuned…
I swiped borrowed these pics from a friends blog where she complains that I need to find a new girl to stalk, ha! She says it’s getting a bit boring. Of course I disagree and since I’m the boss of me, I’m going to keep on keepin’ on. Although I doubt any of my readers (that means you!) are having an problem seeing her once in a while. Shit, it’s not like every other post is THE FOX.
As for calling her the sexiest woman alive; the next Angelina Jolie and all that.., whatever. I just think she’s hot and I’m waiting for her to show up at one of my concerts with her boyfriend so Harley can smack him one for saying we suck. I’m a lover, not a fighter.


Here's Eric Clapton playing Tears in Heaven for the first time in front of Sue Lawley in a TV interview about the death of his son. Released in 1992 and written by Clapton and Will Jennings, Tears in Heaven was originally written for the 1991 movie Rush, which, actually the song was already written in the back of Clapton's mind about the death of his son.
Clapton's 4 year old son, Conor, died falling from the window of a 53rd floor apartment building in New York City in early 1991. Over the years, Clapton made several public service announcements about child-proofing windows and stair-cases.
You can truly see just how emotional the song is for Eric Clapton as he plays it for the first time publicly. How Sue Lawley was able to compose herself throughout the song is beyond me...
Check out the official music video for Tears in Heaven below.

HENNESSY V.S X NAS
Hennessy V.S and Nas join forces to pay tribute to 50 years of Hip Hop. In 2023, Hennessy V.S marks a unique cultural milestone, celebrating a half-century of hip-hop with one of the genre's most prolific talents, Nas. A long-term friend of Hennessy, the multi-hyphenate, multi-platinum rapper and artist captures the movement and the moment in a vibrant limited-edition cognac.
Since busting onto the scene, Nas has become the voice of his generation — a gifted storyteller with lyrical flair. Nas came up with hip hop in an era steeped in change – witnessing firsthand the raw evolution of the genre at its purest state. Since the early days Nas has continuously referenced Hennessy in his lyrics and featured Hennessy in his glass. This organic connection has inspired a long-term bond and multiple collaborations between the two icons.
Nas has penned a tribute to Hip Hop on it's 50th Birthday, a hand-written homage to the past, present and future of this beloved culture. His words of honour became the foundation for a disruptive collage on the box an bottle that fuses snapshots of street and studio culture with vibrant orange graffiti accents.

Known for his outstanding abilities to make his fingers create magic across the six strings of a guitar, Clapton is a rock and roll legend who used his own unique style to win the ears of his fans. Born in Britain to a sixteen-year-old mother, his grandparents raised him in a musical environment, as his grandmother played the piano and Eric easily developed a passion for music and songwriting. Though a lazy student who was kicked out of school on numerous occasions for his irresponsible behavior, he pursued a musical career nonetheless, enrolling at Kingston College of Art in London. There, he strengthened his love for the guitar and discovered the blues and electric guitars. Among his most idolized musician role-models were B.B. King and Muddy Waters.
Clapton joined his first band, The Roosters, in 1963 at a young 17 years old, but the experience was short-lived. After only a few months of playing with the band, Clapton left, and soon joined another band by the name of Casey Jones and the Engineers. They, too, did not hit it off with Clapton. That same year, the yet to be discovered guitarist accepted an invitation from The Yardbirds, the band that essentially made him famous. Finally able to showcase his talents to the world, Clapton served as the band's guitarist until 1965, when he left, once again, due to frustrations with the band's pop-sounding music. He continued to stay true to his blues roots, however. Alongside Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, Clapton reignited his career with the band Cream in 1966, where he was able to express the blues sounds that he loved.
Though able to release several hit songs such as those featured in albums Fresh Cream and Wheels on Fire, he broke up with Cream as well and formed Blind Faith. Eric, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech played together long enough to produce one album and to perform on one tour before disintegrating. Then, in 1970, Clapton joined the band that most know him best for: Derek and the Dominos. It was with these musicians that he released the album Layla...and Other Assorted Love Songs featuring "Layla", the song about his crush: Pattie Boyd. At the time of its release, Pattie Boyd was married to George Harrison; however, Boyd ended up divorcing Harrison and marrying Clapton in 1979. Ten years later, after witnessing the birth of two children fathered by Clapton but not her own, Boyd divorced him.
Despite its popularity today as a classic Clapton hit, the Layla album sunk as a commercial opportunity, and he bailed on this band as well. It wasn't until 1973, at London's Rainbow Theatre with the help of The Who's Pete Townshend, that Clapton reintroduced himself to the fans of rock and roll. Establishing himself as a deep vocalist and outstanding blues rock guitarist, he began his career as a solo artist.
Some of Clapton's famous works include "Wonderful Tonight" (one of my personally favorite songs) and "Cocaine", both part of his album Slowhand - a nickname he earned with the bands he played with - released in 1977. He then released one of his most well-known albums, Crossroads, in 1988. In 1991, one of the most beloved and widely accepted as one of the most beautiful songs ever written by Clapton was released: "Tears in Heaven". Emotionally disturbed and sorrowed, Clapton wrote this about the death of his young son, Conor, when he crawled out of a 49-story high window due to lack of supervision on the housekeeper's part. He was 4 years old.
Battling with drug and alcohol addiction throughout his entire life, Clapton established the Crossroads Centre in 1998, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. In interviews, Clapton claimed that the death of his son was one of his motivations to become completely sober. In 2000, the star was inducted by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member and guitarist of The Yardbirds, Cream, and as a solo artist. Just two years later, he married Melie McEnery, his last and most stable marriage. Together, they had three kids, and Clapton claimed this time in his life to be the most enjoyable due to his cleansed body and new family. He released his autobiography in 2008.
Eric Clapton continues to tour today around the world, and is vastly considered as the greatest guitar hero of all time. In the rhythms, lyrics, and styles incorporated in his songs, one can easily find the unique sound of Clapton and the life he lived beneath it all.

The tests were carried out by the NHS in Aberdeenshire where they met the criteria required for testing.”
It was noted that it was “not possible” to determine how the virus was contracted by Charles, who is the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
“It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks,” the official statement said.

Multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Gee, born in Northern Germany, discovered his love for music at the age of 11, with "Help" from John Lennon, founder member of the Beatles.
From that moment on, he has lived his art.
Only like few other musicians, he knows, how to embody his music on stage.
His excellent technical ability and his high degree of perfection both as singer and guitarist come together to make one of Germany's best musicians. In 2013, his talent and dedication was recognized with the title of Germany's best guitarist.
Jimmy is far beyond being an insider's tip around Germany and Europe. Even outside of Europe, people have already taken notice of this exceptional talent. His reputation as not only a top rank guitarist, but also as an outstanding songwriter preceded him. Many well-known musicians and producers have recognized the uniqueness of Jimmy Gee and collaborated with him.
Trying to describe his music with words, is a lost cause. From soulful ballads to hard rock hymns, there is truly something for everyone.
Experience Jimmy Gee and Band live and let them rock you right!

Harman International, manufacturer of JBL, Harman Kardon, AKG, and Infinity audio gear, has plans for multiple celebrity branding deals this year, according to an article in Businessweek. The biggest celebrity name is Paul McCartney, who is endorsing JBL audio gear, which he has used since his days as a Beatle. This is a huge win for Harman, as it marks the first time that McCartney has ever endorsed any product. Other celebrities who will endorse Harman products include Tim McGraw, Jennifer Lopez, Maroon 5, and A.R. Rahman. The Tim McGraw deal will be for high-end AKG headphones and Harman is also currently developing another line of high-end headphones with Kanye West. Harman’s CEO has stated that the combination of Harman’s 60-year heritage in the audio industry with the star power of celebrity endorsements will be a “game changer” for the company.
Harman’s recent foray into celebrity branding deals comes after the company raised its marketing budget to $50 million – an increase of 50 percent. This huge expenditure in marketing dollars may be a response to the great success of Beats by Dr. Dre, the line of headphones endorsed and co-owned by producer/rapper Dr. Dre. The high-end headphone market has doubled in size in each of the past two years and is currently estimated to be a $600 million industry. Beats has a whopping 55 percent share, which it has reached after only three years on the market. Undoubtedly, the success of Beats is due largely in part to the celebrity endorsement of Beats headphones by Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber.

Singer/songwriter Jenn Grant recalls the day she took a tour of NSCAD’s Granville campus and decided she needed to apply.
“I went to Saint Mary’s first and it just wasn’t a good fit for me,” says Jenn, who is freckled and strawberry blonde, born and raised in Prince Edward Island. “And then I took a tour at NSCAD … afterwards I cried a little bit, right over there,” she adds with a wave of her arm, indicating a place in the shadow of the stone lions where she once wiped away her tears.
“It felt good. It felt like a place where I could be inspired.”
She included a demo tape as part of her entrance portfolio, but at the time was shy and suffered from such debilitating stage fright that she couldn’t perform in front of anyone who wasn’t a family member. That changed while at NSCAD, where she found her artistic voice and felt supported to experiment and try new things. Then, after attending a Tegan and Sara show at the Marquee Club, she summoned up the courage to sing at an open mic night with two of her cousins providing back-up. Not long later, she released an independent five-song EP, Jenn Grant and Goodbye 20th Century.
“At that show (Tegan and Sara), I felt like I was missing out on my life’s purpose,” she reflects. “But suddenly, I had no fear at all … I do feel NSCAD gave me the strength to be a performer and not be afraid. I had enough confidence that my hands wouldn’t shake so much when I played guitar.”
Jenn graduated with her BFA in 2006 and cites her teachers Leya Evelyn and Michael Fernandes as major influences. That same year, her career was in full bloom with the release of her first full-length CD Orchestra for the Moon (one of her paintings is on the CD jacket) and her songs got play on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Heartland. The CD Echoes followed in 2009 and Honeymoon Punch in 2011. She has an emotive voice “like brushstrokes on canvas,” as one reviewer said so perfectly.
Over Christmas, in a cottage on PEI, she wrote for her forthcoming The Beautiful Wild, due to be released in September. She compares the process of writing and recording to a mixed media painting, building up layers of textures and colours, and the feedback from her band, including her producer/husband Daniel Ledwell, to a painting critique.
The Beautiful Wild is a collection of songs for her mother, who passed away in May after a recurring battle with breast cancer. At the time of the writing, however, she wasn’t even sick.
“She was so proud of us, my brother and me.” Jenn’s brother Daniel Grant is a cinematographer. “Her big lesson for us was to find our passion and I’m so happy to say we followed her advice.”

My buddy and long time collaborator Jason Ensler just directed a music video for Vintage Trouble (currently on tour with The Who), featuring our long time buddy Ty Taylor and with hilarious moments from Groundlings and fellow workshop instructor Jeremy Rowley. Enjoy!
TY TAYLOR AND VINTAGE TROUBLE. Rockin’ the gymnasium.
In the late 90’s my film school classmates Jason Ensler, Jay Lowi and I met Ty Taylor who was in a great band in Hollywood called, Dakota Moon. But they had the bad fortune of launching their second and biggest album within days of September 11, 2001 and (honest to goodness) the centerpiece song that had all the pop energy to it of an immediate #1 sensation was titled, “Lookin’ for a Place to Land,” with the lyrics about your heart being like a plane that’s looking for a safe place to land. Well … that didn’t really work too well given the events that occurred with 9/11. The album “crashed” (so to speak) and the band broke up.
Ty is enormously talented and never suffered any shortages of opportunities. He ended up on a network competition show where they were looking for a replacement for the lead singer of the band INXS after Michael Hutchence killed himself. Ty was a finalist, sporting a mohawk at the time.
Then he was in Vegas for a while. And then … he finally found his place to land when he reinvented himself (as skillfully as Madonna ever did) with a sort of sixties retro look and style of a soulman along with his band, Vintage Trouble.
The rest is a rocket ship to stardom over the past three years as they’ve hit the charts (especially in Europe), toured with the biggest bands (currently touring with The Who), and been on Letterman and Leno repeatedly. They’re now huge.
So my longtime buddy and USC film school classmate Jason Ensler just released this music video for them which features among the many characters, Jeremy Rowley (#19 in the music video) who is incredibly funny (still love his brilliant dating video), a longtime Groundling and co-teaches workshops with me. Yay Ty!

The Spy actor Sacha Baron Cohen has reprised his role Borat Sagdiyev in the sequel of the 2006 comedy film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. The good news is that Cohen has already finished the filming.https://milawilliams922.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/borat-sequel-is-coming-soon.jpg?w=150 150w, https://milawilliams922.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/borat-sequel-is... 300w" sizes="(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px" />
The 2006 film was a success for the actor as it earned him a Golden Globe award apart from garnering over $260 million globally.
Now if the report from Jeff Sneider of Collider is to be believed, the sequel has not only been shot but has also been screened for a few selected people from the industry. Sneider has given his report based on confirmation from multiple sources. He further adds that according to sources the plot of the second film revolves around Cohen’s character the Kazakh journalist Borat hiding from the spotlight after he believes that he is a big movie star after the success of the 2006 film, so he goes around discreetly as a pretender meeting and interviewing people.
Cohen has been in the news lately because of his prank videos that have surfaced on the internet. Many fans firmly believed that he was onto something perhaps even a second season of the Showtime series “Who Is America?”
In June, Cohen made some controversial headlines after he joined in a far-right rally in Washington and satirically sang a racist song.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani called another prank of Cohen “absurd” when he had stormed one of Rudy’s interviews with a female journalist which was about White House’s response to the devastating pandemic wearing something that Rudy described as a “crazy outfit.”
Fans had already started speculating about the Borat sequel when a viral video surfaced last month in which Cohen was seen driving a speeding car on the highway. However, fans were confused whether this was a prank or actual footage from a possible sequel. Now, it is clear from the Collider report that the footage was indeed from the sequel of the 2006 film. According to the report, the filming has now concluded, and one of their sources had funnily described the sequel as “Cohen playing Borat playing Cohen.”
Borat was a domestic as well as international success grossing more than $260 million at the box office. The critical reception of the film was also overwhelming which ultimately earned Sacha Baron Cohen a Golden Globe Award for the best actor in musical or comedy and an Academy Award nomination for the writers in Best Adapted Screenplay category at the 79th Academy Awards.
Sacha Baron Cohen is a comic, actor, director and producer who is well known for portraying and developing several fictional characters such as Admiral General Aladeen (2012 film the dictator), Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, Bruno Gehard.
He is also famous for portraying the character Eli Cohen of Mossad in Netflix and OCS espionage thriller The Spy for which he received his third nomination for the Best Actor in Miniseries and Television Film. The Observer described him as an actor who built his career on “winding people up with a deadpan face.”
