We find ourselves mentioning it every single time Stevie Wonder’s name comes up (which is often), and though there are over half a million views on this Youtube clip, we’re always surprised how few of the people we know have actually seen it. God, it’s amazing. We knew he was a great keyboard player, singer and songwriter… but to be able to play the drums like this?

Carl Sigman, the lyricist of many of America's most famous love songs, passed from this temporal plane in September of 2000; however, his music lives on, embodied in his beautiful songs of hope and heartbreak.
Each year-end brings the usual look back on those that have passed during the year. Here is my incomplete list of Music Icons that have passed in last twelve months. The list was compiled extemporaneously during the year as the news was reported.
Jewel's "Picking Up the Pieces" Tour, showcased March 19, 2016 at Durham's Carolina Theater, is ancillary to her autobiography, "Never Broken", which is at the nexus of her every one woman show; it is her all consuming theme projected well, her life as a poetic masterpiece.


Drew Barrymore Finds Treasures In Storage
Actress Drew Barrymore took to Instagram recently to share some photos she found while cleaning out her storage locker. Given her storied movie career, including quite a turn in the very popular E.T., one might expect she would find some intriguing items in storage.
The little girl on the left is Rashida Jones, and the man above both of them is her father, Quincy Jones. Barrymore used the hashtag #oldstorageunitday for this particular image, which received 94,000 likes. She was just 7 years old when she appeared in E.T., one of the highest grossing films.
About the same time, she also acted in Firestarter and had her own chair while on set.
Personal photos like these can have great sentimental value, though if we don’t look at them often we may forget where they are, or that we have them at all. It might be a good idea to periodically go through personal possessions to make sure they are in good condition and are safe.
Old film photographs are vulnerable to moisture, heat, and mold; they also tend to degrade over time. Having digital scans made is a good way to preserve them before they deteriorate.

The baritone Dietrich Henschel is a figure of light - physically, intellectually, musically and as an actor. His ability as an interpreter, by which I mean his ability to get beneath the surface of a song and directly into its soul, is extraordinary. Herald Scotland
As a regular guest on the big opera stages, as a valued interpreter of songs and oratorios and in his multimedia projects, the baritone Dietrich Henschel fascinates audiences worldwide with a repertoire that ranges from Monteverdi to the avant-garde. Born in Berlin, who grew up in Nuremberg and made his debut at the Munich Biennale in 1990, became internationally known after his first stint as a member of the ensemble at the Kiel Opera from 1997: at the Deutsche Oper Berlin he sang the title role in Henze's Prince von Homburg , staged by Götz Friedrich, and in Busoni's Doctor Faust he excelled at the Opéra de Lyon and at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. He was awarded a Grammy for the interpretation of the title role in this production.


On Tuesday, Khloe Kardashian stepped out, alongside sisters Kourtney and Kim, in her usual statement fashion — only this time she, erm, spelled it out for us.
Donning a floor-length, faux fur coat, Khloe turned around to reveal the phrase, “F*ck Yo Fur” spray-painted in red across her back. Clear, much?
But what had us glued to the screen wasn’t the star’s anti-animal cruelty message — it was that her two sisters were wearing real fur next to her. Gasp! How?!
Now, we’re just going to be honest. The Kardashians aren’t, well, the most fascinating subject to us. So why all the excitement? We happen to think the second, less-obvious-but-more-important message the Kardashians sent on Tuesday might just be the solution to world peace. Hear us out, ok!?
Khloe clearly has a passion for this anti-fur business. We don’t exactly know all the details. We can just tell she’s not really down with the whole thing.
What caught our eye was the fact that she took the opportunity to give her cause a shout out without shunning her sisters (Khloe previously cut ties with PETA after they flour bombed Kim, tweeting “How can u ask 4 non cruelty yet u attack my sister? No thanks! Won't be apart of your bullying ways. I have my beliefs but I respect the choice of others. I don't bully people into sharing the same beliefs as me”). That her sisters chose to don dead carcasses didn’t seem to cause a worry in Khloe — and perhaps that’s how it should be. A difference of opinion doesn’t have to entail a lack of respect, and that’s just what the Kardashians reminded us of.
We have to say, it was pretty cool to see a subtle (not-so-subtle) protest without all the dramatics (PETA in particular wins the award for Xanax-inducing anxiety fits) — so for now, Kardashians, you’ve got our nod and smile.


While I would normally not post celebrity news in this blog, given his relationship to video games, it would almost seem a shame not to.
If you haven’t read it by now, pop star Michael Jackson has passed away today. I grew up with him as so many my age did, getting into Thriller, and he was an iconic part of both the ’80’s, and my childhood.
Given his artistic penchant to make cinematic quality music videos, it seemed natural for him to enter the video game arena. I spent countless hours playing Moonwalker on my Genesis, and also in the arcades. There was rumored to be a sequel made, but Jackson’s legal troubles of the time reportedly caused the game to never go past the idea stage. Regardless, Sega brought him back in both Space Channel 5 games, and Midway later had him do mocap for his cameo in Ready 2 Rumble Round 2. While it was never 100% confirmed, it was heavily rumored that he created a lot of the music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. And of course, two of his songs were found in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as the time frame of Read the rest of this entry

Dancy has only recently made the transition from the small to the big screen, parlaying well-received turns in period dramas on TV (Madame Bovary, David Copperfield, Daniel Deronda) into very contemporary work on 2001's Black Hawk Down. Possessing a similar floppy-haired charm to fellow Brits Hugh Grant and Orlando Bloom, Dancy has lately assembled a varied filmography, getting up to knightly derringdo in King Arthur, starring in the genocide drama Shooting Dogs and playing alongside Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2.
His father is a professor of Philosophy and both his grandfathers taught Classics, but there was no question of Hugh following in their footsteps: "I'm thick," he says.

This interview was taken on October 18th 2010. Reposting it on the blog for some inspiration.
Venus Williams, is currently ranked number four on the WTA tour, has 22 Grand Slam titles, is an author, fashion designer, student, philanthropist and icon, but sitting there on her living room chair with her hair pulled back wearing no make up and a plain white t-shirt, you would never know. She was recently named one of the World’s Most Powerful Women by Forbes Magazine, a list she claims is “always inflated.”
Having already met her a few times, during my time playing on the WTA tour, I was eager to hear her speak as I was now on the other side of the lens. Off the court, Venus had always been a delightfully friendly person, humorous and giggly. She was like an old soul that is comfortable anywhere and in any situation.
Venus was at home and out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury and agreed to do an interview with 15 Princeton University students via skype. I started the questions by asking her if she remembered me. She giggled, nodded her head and said “yes, your hair is so long”. The response was diplomatic and at the same time honest; a trend that carried on for the whole interview. At 29 years old and in the later stages of her career, her responses tended to be more introspective and uncontroversial giving insight in to her perspectives, lessons of life, her goals and future aspirations. When asked about how she imagined her life in ten years, she responded with “that always changes…I love design, I’ll definitely being doing that because I love it just the same way I love tennis…and of course I’m giving back to tennis in some way…I’ll probably be fairly quiet”. One could tell, Venus is still figuring it all out.
Listening to her responses to questions about gender equality in sports, being an ambassador to the US and philanthropic work, one could tell Venus is very aware of the power and responsibility bestowed on her because of her athletic achievements. “For me, its great to be in women’s tennis at the premier level…really giving an example to women and…all people around the world…trying to be leaders and trying to give back…” It was refreshing to hear an athlete taking initiative and using her fame and wealth constructively “being a role model is even more rewarding than winning a tournament” she concluded. Furthermore she was very aware of the fact that many athletes abuse this power given to them “you have to stay true to yourself and be responsible and not every athlete is and that’s definitely a shame…”
Venus has done thousands of interviews that have probably covered many of the same questions we asked her but she never gave us stock answers, they seemed genuine, Through her giggles and big smiles she offered nuances and humor about her imperfections and insecurities such as her love for junk food, going off tangent in interviews, her inability to correctly spell women vs. woman and forgetting lessons she has learned through life. One would expect her to be a lot more boastful but she was the complete opposite and almost self deprecating.
Although she was fun, relaxed and welcoming Venus definitely kept a lot of private information from us. She is a very “low key” person in contrast to her sister, Serena and did not divulge information about her personal life. However she did share her strong views on how her religion and family has helped her reach such great heights stating that “I think that’s [faith] been the main difference between Serena and I and our contemporaries and the reason why we are still here…having a good family I think [also] helps a ton.”
Venus has accomplished so many amazing things in her life; becoming the first African-American to be ranked world number 1, win 3 Olympic Gold medals, start a charitable foundation, create her own clothing line, model, author a book and recently, become a part owner of the Miami Dolphins. When asked how she finds inspiration and creativity to manage it all she quoted her sister, “[Serena] said if you take your opportunities, more will come. Just by us… trying to be positive, trying to be good people, trying to be role models, trying to be innovative…more opportunities came.”
She is a superstar that doesn’t require superfluous accessories. Her self confidence and stately demeanor were apparent even in the simplest of settings; sitting at home with a knee injury babysitting her dogs. The best piece of advice she gave us was “believe in yourself”.


Ariana Rosado got the surprise of her life when her boyfriend, Shane Zackery, popped out of an inflatable Benny the Bull mascot suit and proposed to her at half court during a third quarter timeout. “It did take a little bit of planning,” Shane explained. “I did have help from some of the Luvabulls … From there, I just started talking to her coach, the manager of entertainment, and just making sure we set everything up in the right way and make sure this was going to be something special for Ariana.” Shane said he planned the proposal in conjunction with the Heat game because he’s a LeBron James fan, and it was also his birthday. As for Ariana, she was completely shocked at what was happening. “I had no idea whatsoever,” she said. “I was in complete shock and awe. It was an amazing surprise.” The two met at St. Xavier University on Chicago's South Side and have been dating for two-and-a-half years.


Was It the Jabs? Houston Rap Legend Big Pokey Dies Suddenly at 45 After Collapsing on Stage
We'll keep asking until the truth is acknowledged.
When people die at 45 while in the middle of an activity that gets the heart pumping faster, we have to ask the question corporate media ignores and pro-vaccine medical professionals deny. Was it the jabs?
Houston rapper Big Pokey was performing on stage when he suddenly collapsed. He was a bigger man but not so much so that one would expect him to die while on stage. That's not to say it was definitively the jabs; we'll never know because they'll never tell us.
Here's the report from NY Post:
Legendary Houston rapper Big Pokey died after suddenly collapsing on stage while performing at a bar in the city of Beaumont on Saturday night. He was 45. Dramatic footage from the night of the concert shows Big Pokey gasping into the microphone mid-lyric while rapping at the Pour 09 Bar.
He then falls on his back as shocked audience members looked on. Paramedics rushed to the stage and performed CPR before the rapper was taken to a nearby hospital just after midnight.
Authorities confirmed he died soon after the incident. His cause of death has not yet been released.
Big Pokey — real name Milton Powell — was locally renowned as a foundational member of the Houston rap scene with the group Screw up Click.
Until the truth is finally acknowledged by corporate media, we will continue to ask the question despite taking heat every time we do.


Tim has had a stellar career as a pop/rock/country session musician, writing, recording and performing both with two of his own bands as well as some of Australia's best-loved and most successful artists.
He began his piano studies at the tender age of 4 and achieved Trinity LTCL at 17. A long career performing in rock, pop and country ensued.
His songs, and the groups he has performed in, have found their way into the APRA and ARIA awards – among the most prestigious gongs available in Australasian music. His own group, The Mockers (NZ), had two Gold and one Platinum album. He co-wrote the song 'Forever Tuesday Morning' which made APRA's all-time Top 100 New Zealand songs and, with Kevin Bennett's The Flood, picked up the CMAA Golden Guitar for 'Best Group' at Tamworth in 2006 and an ARIA nomination for 'Best Blues/Roots Album' in the same year.
On the road and in the studio the collaborations for Tim have been many, varied and rewarding: Wendy Matthews, Goanna, Slim Dusty, Troy Cassar-Daley, Jenny Morris, Mental as Anything, Lee Kernaghan, Gina Jeffreys, Shane Nicholson and Dave Dobbyn as well as Irish superstar Mary Black have all called on his services.
Tim lists being invited to play on the title track of Slim Dusty's iconic 100th album 'Looking Forward, Looking Back' as one of his "most treasured moments".
If that is not enough, he has also delved into musical theatre both as a player and Musical Director, won international awards for his music scores and has written and produced many jingles, including the long-running current station jingle package and News Theme on Sydney's 2GB radio.
Tim also spent many years as the Musical Director of singer-songwriter Graeme Connors' band and is a proficient piano accordion player.
In more recent years, with a less demanding touring schedule, Tim has extended his interest to music education - and with a wealth of live performance experience, composition and theoretical musical knowledge to draw on, he thoroughly enjoys sharing the joy of mastering music performance, theory and musicianship with young and old alike.


5 Iconic Musicians And The Fenders That Made Them
Few brands have impacted the history of popular music as Fender. Founded in 1946 by Leo Fender, Fender guitars and amplifiers have played a crucial role in shaping the sound of countless musical genres, from rock and roll to blues, jazz, and country.
Today, the Fender brand is synonymous with quality and innovation, and its instruments are prized by musicians worldwide. Here are five iconic musicians who have made their mark on the music industry using Fender guitars and why they chose this legendary brand.
1. Jimi Hendrix
Widely regarded as among the most influential guitarists of all time, Jimi Hendrix is famous for his groundbreaking use of the Fender Stratocaster. Hendrix favoured the Stratocaster for its exceptional playability and versatility. Its contoured body fit comfortably against his chest, and its unique three-pickup design allowed him to switch between clean, rhythm, and lead tones effortlessly.
Hendrix's innovative techniques, such as using the guitar's tremolo arm for pitch manipulation and incorporating feedback into his performances, are now hallmarks of the Fender Stratocaster sound. His legendary performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock in 1969, played on a white Fender Stratocaster, is a testament to the artist's and the instrument's enduring significance.
2. Eric Clapton
"Slowhand" Eric Clapton is another influential guitarist who has long been associated with Fender. Clapton first rose to fame as a member of the Yardbirds and later Cream, where he played a Gibson Les Paul.
However, in 1970, Clapton transitioned to Fender Stratocasters, which he has used almost exclusively ever since. In particular, his signature model, "Blackie”, a black Fender Stratocaster that he assembled from various vintage parts, is one of the most iconic guitars in music history.
Clapton has cited the Stratocaster's versatility and wide tonal range as reasons for his preference, as well as its comfortable feel and balanced weight. The Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, which features Clapton's preferred specifications, is a testament to his enduring relationship with the brand.
3. David Gilmour
As the lead guitarist and vocalist for Pink Floyd, David Gilmour is known for his atmospheric and melodic guitar work. His primary instrument of choice has been the Fender Stratocaster, which he has used to create some of the most seminal guitar solos in rock history.
Gilmour's iconic black Stratocaster, a 1969 model, is famous for its heavily worn appearance, resulting from countless hours of playing and modifications made over the years. Gilmour has stated that the Stratocaster's versatility and playability have contributed to his preference for the instrument. In 2019, Gilmour auctioned off his collection of guitars, including his iconic black Stratocaster, raising $21.5 million for charity.
4. Keith Richards
As the guitarist and co-founder of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards has been a driving force behind the band's distinctive sound. Known for his innovative open tunings and "five-string" technique, where he removes the low E string from his guitar, Richards has relied on Fender guitars throughout his career.
His primary instrument is a 1953 Fender Telecaster, affectionately known as "Micawber", which he acquired in 1971. Richards has praised the Telecaster for its durability, simplicity, and ability to withstand the rigours of touring and its unique tonal characteristics. The Fender Keith Richards Signature Telecaster, a custom model based on "Micawber", pays tribute to this enduring partnership.
5. Bonnie Raitt
Acclaimed blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt has been a devoted Fender player since the early days of her career. Raitt's signature instrument is a 1969 Fender Stratocaster, which she acquired in 1969 for $120.
Known for its distinctive "Brownie" sunburst finish, Raitt's Stratocaster has been her constant companion throughout her career. Raitt has praised the Stratocaster for its playability, versatility, and ability to deliver warm, soulful tones and biting blues-rock sounds.
Fender guitars have played a significant role in shaping the sound of modern music. From Jimi Hendrix's electrifying performances to Bonnie Raitt's soulful blues, Fender guitars have been trusted by some of the world's greatest musicians. With their exceptional craftsmanship, iconic designs, and rich history, Fender guitars will continue to inspire and delight musicians for generations.

Terry Roddy is Golden
Normally the guy behind the camera, Terry Roddy found himself being interviewed by Discgolfplanet.tv after he won the Golden Rake Award at the USDGC Banquet Tuesday night.
Roddy said the award, though individual, also involves all the support he receives from the disc golf community. “It’s really about the disc golf family,” said Roddy after the banquet, which was held at the Baxter Hood Center in Rock Hill, S.C.
A behind the scenes media marvel, he has been a part of the Championship (including playing it three times) for all but one year of the tournament’s history. Over the years, he’s had many roles in USDGC communication, including a big role with the 1999 Championship video.
Working with television networks, Roddy of Towson, MD, has seen the front lines of PGA broadcasting since 1998. Over the years he has been able to transfer much of his video expertise over to disc golf.
“The USDGC is much, much better as a result of Terry’s efforts,” said USDGC Event Director Jonathan Poole before announcing the award.
Accepting the award, Roddy was visibly moved. “This is a really special moment. I’m really speechless,” said Roddy.
The award stacks up with any other honor he has received, Roddy said. And, he’s already got a place picked out for it at home. “This Golden Rake will sit next to the Emmy I won for CBS Sports,” said Roddy after the banquet.
Roddy, who works with Discgolfplanet.tv, said he’ll continue chipping away at the mainstream media wall obstructing disc golf. “I feel disc golf really has a place in mainstream sports media,” said Roddy. “All my energy will be focused on doing that until I’m long gone,” he later added.

WHAT I SAY...
Pretty bad at cooking, though I do try. Some were witness on my year long battle and struggle to learn how to properly cook and peel a hard boiled egg on Twitter. I am proud to say that I have perfected the fine art of boiling and peeling eggs and there is documented proof.
It's the little victories I say.

Cuban American jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer, Arturo Sandoval has evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn. This Latin jazz pioneer and 10-time Grammy award winner delivers dynamic and vivacious live performances, captivating audiences with his lyrical improvisation and virtuoso capabilities.
A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a small town in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American Jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world.
Sandoval has been awarded 10 Grammy Awards, and nominated 19 times; he has also received 6 Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award. The latter for his composing work on the entire underscore of the HBO movie based on his life, “For Love or Country” that starred Andy Garcia as Arturo. His two latest Grammy award winning albums, “Dear Diz “Everyday I think of you” and Tango “Como Yo Te Siento” are now available worldwide. Arturo Sandoval’s newest CD, Eternamente Manzanero. Performing the music of revered Mexican romantic pianist/singer/songwriter, Armando Manzanero, this is a true labor of love. Performing Senor Manzanero’s music with co-headliner Jorge Calandrelli, the album is a fresh, modern and pleasant take on his beautiful bolero music.
Arturo Sandoval reaches beyond the scope of mere effort. His struggles while in Cuba and since his defection have given him more energy and strength, urging him to accomplish and surpass his childhood dreams. Filled with a virtuoso capability, he desires nothing more than to share his gift with others who feel the same intense adoration for music as he does. One frequently speaks of Arturo Sandoval’s virtuoso technical ability or his specialty in high notes, but he who has seen him on the piano, lyrically improvising a ballad, or has had the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of his music, through his compositions from the most straight ahead jazz, Latin jazz or classical, knows that Arturo Sandoval is a prominent musician, and one recognizes that Arturo is one of the most brilliant, multifaceted and renowned musicians of our time.


Screen comedy began as short, knockabout improvisations. A pie in the face was a favourite, blackberry proving more effective on camera than custard. In the 1910s, the likes of Mack Sennett, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton brought hilarity to cinema audiences, aided and abetted by female co-stars.
Chaplin was in the habit of choosing unknown actresses to appear in his movies. He often had affairs with them; few went on to further film success. In 1929, he selected Virginia Cherrill to appear as the Blind Flower Girl in City Lights. She would go on to live an extraordinary life, which included an intense affair with a British man who was to become one of the greatest stars in cinema history.
A secret marriage
Virginia Cherrill was born in Illinois on 12 April 1908 to James Edward Cherrill, a dealer in livestock, and Blanche Wilcox. James was a womaniser and Blanche eventually divorced him. Virginia, nicknamed Dolly as a child, lived with her mother, uncles, and grandparents.
While at school she befriended Evelyn Lederer, who later became an actress and changed her name to Sue Carol. (Later still, Carol became an agent, and married actor Alan Ladd). When she was 17, Cherrill caught the eye of a handsome young lawyer, Irving Adler. Being from a high society Chicago family and with good prospects, he had a lot going for him.
Adler and Cherrill married in 1926, in secret, which is often a portent of things to come. Having been sheltered by an overprotective mother, Cherrill’s wedding night came as a shock to her, and its events set the tone for her marriage. Adler was often away on business. After 17 lonely months, Cherrill sought a divorce. In November 1927, she made her way west to friends in and the city lights of Hollywood.
There she met prominent people at social events, including Charlie Chaplin. The timeline of their meetings varies, but it’s possible that he first noticed her on a beach, and they also met at a boxing match. Chaplin invited her to co-star in his new movie, and she joined the Hollywood family.
City Lights took two years to make – the opening scene alone involved 342 takes. Chaplin sacked Cherrill partway through, though the reason remains unclear. Possibly her attitude was at fault: while Chaplin was a perfectionist, long lunch breaks and hairdressing appointments seemed to be more her style.
But because many scenes had already been shot, Chaplin had no choice but to reinstate her. Cherrill cannily pointed out that her original contract was null and void because she was underage when she signed it. She returned on an improved contract at the rate of $150 a week.
Though Cherrill had no acting experience, she was excellent in the role of the Blind Flower Girl. Indeed, film critic James Agee believed she delivered “[t]he greatest single piece of acting ever committed to celluloid.”
After the success of City Lights, Cherrill was in great demand. She was paired with John Wayne in Girls Demand Excitement. Wayne later called it the worst movie he ever appeared in. Unfortunately, it set a trend for Cherrill’s future films.
Career-wise, she slotted into support roles. However, her profile remained high in Hollywood, and she was a regular at parties hosted by William Randolph Hearst and his mistress, Cherrill’s friend Marion Davies. Engagements to eligible bachelors were announced in the press, but they amounted to nothing. After the distressing experience of a brief first marriage and divorce, Cherrill was understandably cautious.
In 1933, Cherrill played Virginia, a supporting character in Fast Workers aka Rivets, a drama starring John Gilbert. The critics hated it. Harrison Reports, a New York film review service, called it: “Mediocre! The action is slow, the talk dirty and suggestive, and the behavior of the characters vile. Unsuitable for children, adolescents, and for Sundays.”
While Cherrill’s acting career wasn’t going anywhere, she herself was travelling. She boarded the passenger liner SS Lurline in Los Angeles in August 1933, its destinations Honolulu and a would-be marriage that was called off before she set sail again. She was also sailing in another sense: into the arms and life of Archibald Leach, better known as Cary Grant.
A driven man
In 1933, Grant was up-and-coming in Hollywood, and living with Randolph Scott. Were the two actors lovers? This was never established one way or another. They lived together for over a decade.
Grant met Cherrill at a society party, though some say it was the premiere of Blonde Venus. At the end of the evening he phoned her repeatedly to ask for a date. She eventually relented. Those initial hours set the pattern for the rest. Cherrill was chary of committing to another serious relationship, while Grant was literally crazy about her, to the extent that he drove at speed into a love rival’s car.
The affair’s intensity compelled Cherrill to seek safe harbour in London with society friends. Grant was determined to make her his first wife, and followed her. His cover story was that he was visiting his father in Bristol and his mother, who’d been in an asylum for many years.
The London newspapers picked up the scent. Would the couple marry? He was a driven man, professionally and personally, whereas she was a bundle of contradictions – an actress who didn’t really want to act, a woman who was looking for love but reluctant to accept it.
In December 1933, Cherrill’s affair with Grant was still on and off. To complicate matters, Randolph Scott arrived in London to ‘keep an eye’ on Grant. But somehow, by 10 February 1934, Cherrill was in a London registry office. She emerged, ‘looking confused’, as Mrs Cary Grant.
There was a Great Gatsby air to Virginia Cherrill and Cary Grant’s married life. He was obsessed with her, while she seemed content to drift from one low-key role to another, from one party to another. Like Gatsby’s story, you knew it would end in tears. And so it did, after less than a year.
Cherrill cited domestic abuse in her divorce petition. The truth of this was never formally established. As for Grant, he at least admitted to his intensity:
“I doubt if either of us was relaxed enough to trust what we had … My possessiveness and fear of losing her brought about the very thing I had feared: the loss of her.”
Grant went on to tremendous fame and success. The press noted that the women he dated and married often bore a striking resemblance to Cherrill. It also recorded that, after his divorce from her, Grant’s acting took on a cynical edge, which became a factor in his success.
As for Cherrill, her movie career faded. She made her final film Troubled Waters, with James Mason, in 1936. However, she remained a fixture at society parties. In July 1937 she married George Francis Child Villiers and became the Countess of Jersey. A divorce followed. She finally found true happiness aged 40, due to the second world war. While nursing Polish airmen in London she met flying ace Florian Kazimierz Martini. They married in 1948 and made their home in California.
A true ‘til death do us part’ marriage, it lasted 48 years, until Cherrill’s 1996 death aged 88. She outlived Cary Grant by ten years. The full truth about their relationship died with them.

Can we rejuvenate the sallow image of our beauty industry’s relationship with ageing?
As Dame Helen Mirren is revealed as the newest L’Oréal UK Ambassador, debate surrounding the beauty industry’s despotic relationship with age is reignited. But will her noticeably retouched images only perpetuate criticisms of an industry dangerously addicted to youth?
It all started with a tweet. Yes, like so many of today’s news-breaking controversies, the revelation of L’Oréal’s latest brand ambassador set the twittersphere alight yesterday. Acting royalty, Helen Mirren, emerged onto the world stage only to be announced as L’Oréal Paris’s most “innovative” marketing ploy since the infamous maxim “because you’re worth it”. Indeed the accompanying hash tag “#WorthIT” raised some valid questions. At 69 years old, can this silver fox rejuvenate the already sallow image of our beauty industry’s relationship with ageing?
As she comments upon her new role, a down-to-earth Mirren confesses, “I am not gorgeous, I never was, but I was always OK-looking and I’m keen to stay that way.” But it seems this doyenne of ageless beauty herself is taking a more idealistic approach to the issue, “I hope I can inspire other women towards greater confidence by making the most of their natural good looks.” Finally trilling, “We are all worth it!” In L’Oréal’s accompanying press release, the cosmetic empire shared results of a 9,000 women survey in which participants consistently rated Mirren as “appealing”; singling her out as “genuine, intelligent and glamorous, with looks that seem only to improve with the passing of time”.
However, the Oscar winning star is not the first to tread this divisive path. It appears L’Oréal is following in the footsteps of cult beauty brand NARS, which recently shot senior siren Charlotte Rampling (age 68) for its 20th anniversary campaign and will introduce the Gaelic beauty, Tilda Swinton (54), as next season’s face.
After watching the many fresh-faced ingénues, such as Blake Lively, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Freida Pinto, lauding the merits of a dewy complexion, is this latest campaign a genuine attempt to redefine societal standards or simply a marketing technique set to re-energise a flailing demographic? The Jury’s out.

Ronda Rousey is one of the most popular female mixed martial artists in the world. She is so popular that she may even be the most popular mixed martial artist, hands down. As a fighter in the ring, she has to maintain her weight every time she fights. She has been fighting in an amateur or professional capacity since she first won the Junior Judo Championship in the United States. As a model, actress and celebrity, she tries to get to the ideal weight for each of her real-life roles. Ronda Rousey’s weight changes depending on what she hopes to attain.
In the UFC, Ronda fought in the Bantamweight category, which is at 135 lbs during the weigh in. She has said in one of her interviews that she is more comfortable being 15 lbs heavier.
She first fought professionally in 2011. She started in the 145 lbs division because she needed to fight at short notice with no time to lose weight. Later in the year, she moved down to the Bantamweight 135 lbs category.
Although Ronda fights in the 135 lbs category, she feels more sexy at 150 lbs. In between fights she also lifts weights to keep her strength.
Ronda won six straight times during her run to be the UFC Bantamweight Champion. Her streak was broken when she lost to Holly Holm in 2015.
Ronda has been keeping busy as a model and actress as well as a mixed martial arts fighter. She was in Expendables 3 with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as in Furious 7 and in Entourage.
Due to her different roles in life, Ronda’s weight ranges a lot from 135 lbs to 150 lbs. She once lost 17 lbs in 5 hours to prove a point that it is possible to lose weight if you wanted to.
Ronda’s follows the Dolce Diet. Her food philosophy is to take in the most nutrient instead of minimizing the calorie intake.
Ronda doesn’t keep her weight unless she has a scheduled fight. With her different jobs and commitments, these all require her to look different as far as her weight is concerned.
One of her sponsorships is with the Hope denim collection of Buffalo Jeans. That requires her to look sexy and fit in the tight jeans.
Although Ronda did not fight as much since her 2015 loss to Holly Holm, she has been training in the gym, and at the same time is also active in other MMA-related capacity, such as coaching.


It looks like Hollywood has discovered what beekeepers have known for ages - beekeeping is meditation and a great way to relax after a long, stressful day.
When you step into the beeyard, time stops and the worries of the day melt away. No phones, no tv, no Facebook. Just the gentle humming of the bees and the smell of warm honey drifting through the air.
Here are just a few celebs who've caught the buzz and turned to beekeeping...
1. Morgan Freeman
The smooth-voiced Freeman cares for 26 beehives on his 124 acre ranch in Mississippi, which he is converting into a beehaven by planting lavender, magnolia trees, and other bee-friendly flowers.
As he explained to Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show, he has no fear of being stung by his new friends. His trick to avoiding stings? "You've got to resonate."
Flea and his mentor Ruth care for three hives at his home in L.A. as a way of helping the declining honeybee population. Now an avid beekeeper, Flea regularly posts pictures of his "zillion of mysterious and fascinating bees" on Instagram.
3. Leonardo DiCaprio
Rumour has it that Leonardo DiCaprio has taken up beekeeping. The Oscar-winner is said to be learning from his mother's partner and took up the hobby as a way of managing stress in the lead up to the star-studded event. Fact or fiction? Either way the idea of Leo in a beesuit is delightful!
4. Martha Stewart
Is it really any surprise that Martha keeps bees? The domestic diva starting keeping bees at Turkey Hill Road in 1976. Today, Martha's hives are buzzing at her Bedford home and cared for by Bedford Bee Honeybee Service. In true Martha-style, you can learn all about her honeybees here, and here, and here, oh and here too...
5. Scarlett Johansson
The actress, seen here with beehive hairdo, is said to have received honeybees as a wedding gift from Samuel L Jackson. Still waiting for some official bee selfies before we can confirm whether the buzz is true...
Can't wait to see who else catches the buzz!

If all you know about Boz Scaggs is his chart-topping, Silk Degrees, with hits like “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown,” you’d only be scratching the surface of what his music is all about. Let’s start with the blues. For Boz, that’s where it begins and ends. The guitarist and singer met Steve Miller when the two were students in Texas and playing in blues bands was where it was at for them.
He left school, first exploring the R&B scene in London, and then traversed the globe to find himself immersed in the groovy psychedelic happenings in San Francisco in 1967. There, he rejoined his buddy Steve Miller and appeared on the Steve Miller Band’s first two records. He recorded a number of albums that showed off his rich vocals and bluesy guitar work, but it wasn’t until 1976 when he released Silk Degrees that the hit machine was uncorked. The songs off Silk Degrees and the records that followed until 1981 served to define that era in music when soul, disco, blues and R&B merged into a silken sound that was hooky, danceable and beautifully played and produced. His groove was unmistakable.
His more recent work with artists like Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams is all rooted in blues and his other love, jazz. His latest record, Out of the Blues, is the third in an unofficial trio of records in which he bows deeply to his earliest influences in blues and rock and roll. The themes are familiar to blues fans — resilience in the face of loss (he lost everything in the Napa wildfires of two years ago), redemption and hope. He’s a legendary performer, songwriter and guitarist — it’s an honor to welcome him to the mountains.


Mandy Moore should star in twin flamesa cult drama from the producers of It’s us. Over the course of six seasons, Moore received widespread accolades and multiple nominations for her performance as Rebecca Pearson on the NBC drama. It’s us. Moore, more than any other performer, has had to embody her character through multiple generations and significant life changes. As a testament to Moore’s performance, Rebecca always felt familiar and became the heart of the show. For his next project, however, the Emmy-nominated actor will step into a very different world.
According Deadlinein her first television role since It’s usMoore will star and executive produce twin flames. Based on the hit podcast Wondery, twin flames tells the true story of two women who find themselves seduced by an online couple who claim that everyone has a soul mate known as “twin flameTo find that soul mate, the couple says online, the person must be ready for anything. Desperate to find true love, these two women find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations. The project, which is slated for Hulu and written by Rebecca Addelman, sees Moore rediscover It’s us producers and showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger.
What are the This Is Us cast’s next plans?
Moore isn’t the only one to have her next TV gig booked. Milo Ventimiglia, who portrayed Jack, will direct the ABC crime drama The company you keep. He will play a con man who falls in love with a CIA officer. He will also return for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5. Chrissy Metz, who played Kate, has signed on for the crime drama Help me Rhonda. Justin Hartley, known as Kevin Pearson, will headline The game never for CBS. As for Susan Kelechi Watson (Beth Pearson), she recently appeared on stage as part of the Eureka Day sunk in UK
Sterling K. Brown, who won acclaim for his time as Randall Pearson, is linked to a number of projects. Notably, he was announced as the star of the mini-series Washington Black. He also received several accolades for his recent performance in Honk for Jesus, save your soul. Lyric Ross, who played Randall and Beth’s adopted daughter, Deja, recently had a role in Wendell & Wild. She’s also set to join the MCU as a cast member. Stone heart.
It’s us enjoyed an impressive run, filled with critical acclaim and a devoted following, thanks in part to the strength of its main cast. As a group, the It’s us The team won two SAGs for Best Dramatic Ensemble. It’s no surprise, then, that many of its cast quickly lined up several of their next projects shortly after bidding farewell to the Pearson family. It will be interesting to see what they accomplish in the future, especially with Moore’s cult drama twin flames. It seems safe to say that it will be a very different role than It’s us‘ Rebecca, which should give Moore plenty of opportunities to stretch his acting muscles.
