We produced the effects and final edit.

I have been reading people’s posts who are simply upset about Sridevi given the state funeral and comparing it to the army personnel’s and what not.
Let’s not take away the achievements of the departed soul. The amount of crowd that flew, gathered to get the glimpse of their favourite star was simply overwhelming. She was working since the age of four and her contribution to cinema is something most people and even stars can only think of. So many actresses (not Aishwarya Rai, Rani or even Madhuri Dixit) in this industry tried to make a comeback post their marriage breaks and just couldn’t get that kind of attention that Sridevi did with her come back movie English Vinglish.
She was a star who left behind such a great legacy and very Big shoes to fill in.
It’s so easy to be an armchair critic and pass comments and dismissing the achievements of other people. I wish people who write all this can even come close to what the mega star achieved in her five decade long career. I pray her kids are happy in whatever they choose to do.
And yes there is a growing sentiment for respect about the army men on social media lately, I would like to know how many of these armchair men themselves or sent their kids to serve the country? If you can’t do it, don’t be sore about others. It’s unfair to take away due credit from anyone’s achievement in any field.

All of our Love,


It’s late and I’m off to bed but before I stagger upstairs, here are my top ten idle thoughts about the 83rd Oscar ceremonies:
- Anne Hathaway only needed James Franco so she had time to change her outfits. She was adorable and handled the pressure beautifully. He wasn’t and he didn’t. (Her sparkly eyelashes were neat, too.)
- The “God of Love” guy’s speech was the best of the bunch: “I should have gotten a haircut.” “…to my Mom who did craft services…” “All the nominated shorts are available on iTunes.” First runner-up to the professed “late bloomer” who won for Best Original Screenplay for “The King’s Speech.”
- I can’t be the only one who thought there were some pretty difficult segues from the nostalgic bits. I’m all for honoring the past, but MUST we watch a clip of Charlie Chaplin every year?
- Best dressed: Tie between Jennifer Hudson and Amy Adams. Oh, and Reese, I’d love to borrow that. Call me.
- Worst dressed: Mandy Moore. She looked like she wrapped a comforter around a corset after washing them together with a blue sharpie.
- Billy Crystal ought to try a new haircut. How long ago did he make “When Harry Met Sally?
- Oprah Winfrey has huge bazoonkas.
- What do you think Gwyneth Paltrow’s first thought was when she heard her song was nominated for an Oscar? My best guess is that it was: “Oh, fuck.”
- Celine Dion doesn’t seem to age. Or maybe she looked like that when she was young and now she’s caught up with her looks.
- Colin Firth deserved to win Best Actor; what an amazing performance. The King’s Speech was an incredible movie – touching, thoughtful and inspiring. Go see it.
Finally, let me leave you with this: I know he assisted with an infamous wardrobe malfunction but barring that, I wonder how Justin Timberlake would do hosting an awards show. I mean, he can sing, dance and he’s always hilarious as the surprise guest on Saturday Night Live. Think of it this way – no one could be worse than Letterman.


Cardinale that is. I fell in love with Claudia when I first saw her in Once Upon A Time In The West in college. She was born to Italian-Tunisian parents in 1938 in Tunis, but only learned to speak Italian as a teenager. I've always thought of her as the Italian Brigitte Bardot (I actually think she's lovelier than Brigitte. I suppose she's mostly known for 8 1/2, Fitzcarraldo and Once Upon A Time in the West. I haven't seen that many of her films and I want to change that. Here are some photos of the lovely lady. Enjoy!


Born and raised in Flint, Michigan. Sharard Baker's mission is to inspire so he decided to chase his dreams and move to the city of Los Angeles, California. If he had to described his style it would be a "Storyteller" with the ability to captivate audiences with true lyricism while bringing fun and excitement to the hip hop game. The rapper/actor released his first album "Widescreen Dreams" in the summer of 2015 and a follow up mixtape "F S.N.Y.D.E.R" in late summer 2017 featuring hit singles "Black Skin" and "I Blow Tree". In October of 2017 he signed with No Culture joining his long time Engineer, producer and friend Silver Screens on the next level of their journey in this industry.


It has been just over a week but Rufus Wainwright rocked the Gibson Club in Frankfurt. I truly admire his career and his wild creativity. He is this great combination of baroque, pop, opera, showtunes and general drama queen. His new album – produced by Mark Ronson – sets a new tonality and he played almost the whole album during the show.
Part of it all were not only his husband, Jörn Weisbrodt, but his in-laws which gave the concert this touch of cuteness as the audience below tried to steal secret glances at the family hanging out on the balcony. And it truly is a family affair with Adam Cohen joining the show and a tribute to all their parents’ creative heritage being paid.
His band is tight, full of amazing talent. They all seem to know it and yet gel bringing over their passion into the audience. And when it comes to do the encore, it is an encore only Rufus could coreograph and is too crazy, too amazing and too complex to really tell anyone about who was not there. Wow.

Fauldhouse schoolgirl Paige Turley has been voted out of Britain’s Got Talent just before the final.
The 14-year-old divided judges with her performance of Bruno Mars’ It Will Rain at the semi-final on Saturday, May 5. While Simon Cowell and David Walliams praised Paige’s voice, the ladies were less impressed.
Amanda Holden told the teen that although she looked fantastic, she felt “underwhelmed” by her song choice. She said: “I wanted you to do something more special.”
Alesha Dixon agreed, adding: “I really like you and I loved your first audition but I have to agree with Amanda. This song didn’t show your range.”
Paige might not have made it to the final, but it seems that she has plenty of support from the community. Since she was voted off, local residents have took to social networking to congratulate the teen.
One user posted on facebook: “To get that far is brilliant, keep up the singing Paige!”
Another commented: “Well done Paige. I remember you from Croftmalloch Primary. Sorry you did not get through last night, but I hope you will get through on the wild card vote. Don't give up; you are a beautiful singer and a lovely young woman.”
Well done Paige!

The news that K-pop sensation BTS is set to release their newest album, Proof, is a welcome one. It comes right before the group celebrates its ninth anniversary as a group, which falls on June 13 this year. The group is gearing up for their annual BTS Festa celebration, and last week shared a family portrait on social media to celebrate the occasion. They will also headline the Lollapalooza music festival in the U.S. this July.
As previously reported, BTS’s newest album is an anthology, with tracks from their first three albums and a few unreleased songs. The release date is set to be on June 10 in 2022, which is a little more than a year away! Fans can expect a lot from Proof, with three new songs and a number of titles from previous albums. The album is set to feature 48 songs altogether.
During their recent run of singles, BTS hinted that they were putting off releasing a new album for several months. Although the hiatus was expected to be shorter, Namjoon argued that the group had lost their authenticity and didn’t want to disappoint their ARMY. Namjoon also said that the members had begun learning choreography and were focusing on being their best before making the ARMY happy.
The news of BTS’ upcoming release was revealed by the group on Weverse, with a teaser video showing their journey and their various eras. The teaser video ends with a voiceover by one of the members. The group is also known as BTS, which stands for Bulletproof Boy Scouts. And in the case of the new album, it is not surprising that BTS will be back for more.
On Monday, the members of the group spoke at the White House to protest anti-Asian hate crimes. President Biden invited BTS to speak to the nation. Their speech was followed by a flood of comments on social media. While the members did look tired, they assured their fans that they’d be back to their old ways when they’re more mature.
The group hasn’t been content with their current career and is looking to diversify their genre. Although they’re well-known for their pop songs, Suga has also mentioned that he would like to write songs for video games or even learn to play an instrument. As a result, fans can expect to hear some new songs from Suga and his bandmates on Friday, June 10, 2022.


Times Of India Article
Sikh comedian has the US in splits
CHANDIGARH: If it’s Sody Singh Kahlon who is regaling audiences with his comedies in Britain, the US too has been conquered by a Sikh comedian – Iqbal Singh Bhan.
Perhaps the only Sikh stand-up comedian in the US, 68-year-old Bhan aka Bali Bhan has performed shows at New Yorkâ€™s Times Square, the Laugh Factory, Comedy and other prestigious venues.
“I am quite serious about this new-found career,” said Bhan, who made forays into the entertainment industry after his recent retirement from the corporate world.
“I donâ€™t like to hurt anyone with my jokes, and I definitely donâ€™t do Sardar jokes,” added Bhan, who was in India on a personal tour.
When asked at one of his gigs if he uses any four-letter word (the mainstay of many stand-up comedians), Baliâ€™s reply was, “Yup, F.O.R.K. fork. Do you want to know another? L..O..V..E..love!” But by far the question he is asked most is about his turban – the reason behind wearing it.
According to Bhan, his responses varies from “because Iâ€™m bald”, to “because I have something to hide”, to finally saying “itâ€™s a part of my religion”, thus creating cross-cultural awareness through humour.
“We are all brothers, but born to different mothers,” he often says at his shows.
After immigration to the US in 1960, he had at that time made a few television appearances, even demonstrating how to tie a turban, and earned some extra dollars through a stint in modelling, which he only stopped when ads featuring him turned up at unsavoury places.
According to Manpreet Kaur, a freelance journalist from Australia, humour came naturally to Bhan and he was seriously funny. “He always has a gag up his sleeve. His hallmark is clean, crisp humour that people of any age, race or background can relate to,” she said.
Having lived most of his life in the US, Bhan is still nostalgic about India and wants to perform in his native country, sometime. “Iâ€™m a simple guy who loves to make people laugh. Majority of us take life too seriously and forget to enjoy its simple pleasures through laughter. I am just trying to help people laugh and provide comic relief around the world,” he summed up.

“I never got the nerve to say that I want you back, want you back…” “Moshi moshi, hi, hello…” (Argo; Poppy).
Celebrity worship is at the peak of Western culture, and it can be a bit overdone. However, celebrities still stand as a role model to their fans, and celebrity appreciation is understandable. Mars Argo, whose legal name is Brittany Sheets, is one artist worthy of all of her fame. Unfortunately, her fanbase grew a little too late, a little bit after her “disappearance” from the internet. There is a chance that she is going to return, and sometime soon, but fans wait for that day, anxiously, as they replay over and over again what little media she left behind.
Mars Argo is an internet celebrity who became popular for her unique YouTube videos with her then boyfriend, Titanic Sinclair (Corey Mixter). The duo ran a YouTube channel called “grocerybagdottv.” The channel theme was based around the corruption of Hollywood and a pseudo-scientific prophecy known as “The Singularity” (which is an event that is proposed to happen in which humans and technology become one). The pair made weird, artistic, and athletic videos created for entertainment and as social commentaries.
When YouTube started making it difficult for YouTubers to use third party music from popular artists in their videos, Mars Argo and Titanic Sinclair decided to create their own background music. The personal project got a promotion when viewers of grocerybagdottv requested for the pair to release the music they had been using due to its unique quality and addictive sound. Thus, the band Mars Argo was born, with the character Mars Argo as their face and lead singer.
Argo and Sinclair continued to work on grocerybagdottv, posting all sorts of strange and compelling content, while they produced and published catchy, nostalgic songs with artistic music videos. The iconic duo lasted for years, growing a dedicated fanbase, but tragedy struck paradise in 2014.
After an intense falling out between Sinclair and Argo, the latter disappeared from the internet without a word, without a clue, without a hint of goodbye. A new celebrity appeared in the midst of her “erasure,” and this character gained celebrity and fans quickly due to her uncanny valley productions, and the controversy surrounding her and her predecessor.
This new singer, known as That Poppy, or simply “Poppy,” was born from an idea Sinclair had to continue the strange project he had begun with Argo, with someone new. Unfortunately, Argo’s disappearance was due to Sinclair’s violent and obsessive behavior of her after she had broken up with him for cheating, and Poppy, although entertaining and addictive, was used as a tool to mock the former star for leaving.
This all came to light in 2018 when a lawsuit between the parties was leaked onto the internet. Mars Argo and That Poppy fans alike came together to dispute the claims of the opposing sides and try to find the truth—or what they wanted the truth to be. Fans of both were caught in the middle and did not know what to believe.
As of 2019, a settlement has been reached between both parties, and both artists have resolved to continue making content. Poppy has released new music recently, and is currently on tour, and has proven that she can create an identity for herself apart from Mars Argo. Mars Argo, on the other hand, has decided to come out of hiding and is rumored to be creating new music to be released soon, purportedly under her real name: Brittany Sheets. Hopefully both artists can resolve any personal issues that might linger between them and continue to create the media that makes people happy and that make their fans adore them. Until then, fans will wait for Brittany to come back.
I hope she does.


Myles Breen, Limerick acting legend is to take to the streets as the grand marshal of this year’s st. Patrick’s Day parade. The actor recently honoured for his play Language Unbecoming A Lady, which toured to New York in 2015, will play a starring role in the festivities in Limerick this year.

So if you’re past your mid-thirties, you probably know how hot Christie Brinkley was in your childhood memories. Well, let me tell you, she’s still absolutely gorgeous. Christie was a no-brainer subject for this documentary but it wasn’t until late in the game that we finally got permission to do the interview. We went to her house in the Hamptons for the shoot. We looked around her place to find the best spot to shoot and she told us that she had a beach house nearby that we could also shoot at. We went over there and ultimately decided to shoot in her living room back at the house.
I can’t even tell you how stunning, nice and hospitable she was. She was beautiful when we got there and then she went into hair and makeup and her beauty was like a punch to the face! Anyway, she was so nice that she even provided us (a really amazing) lunch. Who does that? After the interview, we literally hung out at her house with her for a little while as we got our equipment packed up. She didn’t disappear as you would have expected. Then we all hung out on her front steps talking about her kids and whatnot. She even busted out her electric guitar and started “playing” for us. Random, yet awesome!
It’s funny because Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl is my favorite song of his and here I was with the Uptown Girl herself… at least the one in the music video (which I just re-watched for the first time since the 80’s… it’s horrid).
On a side note, I got to go into the storage facility where all things Billy Joel are archived and I saw on the shelf the original master recording tape for Uptown Girl (and other tracks). I thought that was pretty neat.
And here is a picture of us on the porch…
My wife says I have the life. I get to do what I love to do, hang out with celebrities, eat out, tour cities, be driven around, stay up late… all kid-free. It’s like I get paid to be on vacation. But I guess she’s right. Poor her. She says I owe her a couple of trips to Europe. She made me write that last sentence.

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the 63-year-old absolute monarch of this tiny, oil-rich country on Borneo island, married Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim, a former TV3 news journalist, in 2005.
Azrinaz (left), 30, gave birth to the sultan’s 11th child, a baby boy, less than a year after their wedding and a daughter in 2008.
Brunei’s palace announced on state television and radio late today that the sultan has divorced Azrinaz and revoked all her royal titles.
No other details were made available, but rumours of a royal breakup had been circulating in Brunei.
This is the second divorce for the sultan, whose private fortune has been estimated to total at least US$20 billion (RM65 billion) in recent years. He broke up with former airline stewardess Mariam Abdul Aziz, who is of Bruneian, Japanese and Scottish ancestry, in February 2003 after 21 years of marriage.
He remains married to his first wife, Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha, whom he wed in 1967. Their son, Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah Bolkiah, is heir to the throne.
The sultan ascended to the throne on Oct. 5, 1967, after his father abdicated.
The sultan’s wealth is legendary. While playing polo with Britain’s Prince Charles, he once had his polo shoes delivered — by helicopter — to the palace field
In 2005, the couple confessed that it was love at first sight despite a 32 year age gap.
The Sultan fell in love with the award winning journalist when she went to Brunei two years ago on a news assignment, and from then on, “he kept watching her read the news on TV3,” according to a close friend of the bride.


Reggie Noble is sinfully not mentioned when debates of the all-time greats comes up. One of the best lyricists ever, Redman has the resume that any rapper would strive to have. He’s got the classic albums (Whut thee album, Muddy Waters), the sales, the skillset, classic guest appearances, an abundance of classic songs (Time 4 Sum Akison, Tonight’s Da Night, Whateva Man, Da Rockwilder, etc.) ,and the respect amongst his peers.
It is outright disrespectful at the lack of credit Luda gets. At the forefront of the surge in Southern Hip Hop in the early 2000’s, Ludacris was the total package. At ease he was able to crank out club anthems, chart topping hits, and was one of the few Southern rappers who were revered for his lyrical skillset. Along with the Dungeon Family, he is without question a pioneer of the Atlanta rap scene.
As the front man for the greatest Hip Hop band ever, The Roots, Black Thought has crafted an impressive resume that includes 20 plus years of legendary work. Grammy awards, platinum and gold plaques, a strong global fan base, and late night TV gigs are just some of the accomplishments he has garnered over his career.
Hardly any rappers can compose songs that touch topics from love, to activism, to storytelling, to battle rap; but Common is the equivalent of a Swiss Army knife. He can simply give you any type of song you want, and has done so for a storied 20 plus years. An exceptional lyricist, Common has transcended from music into film, but even as he’s taken his career to a different industry, he still has given Hip Hop fans extraordinary music.
When it comes to punchlines, witty wordplay, radio and club anthems, classic mixtapes, and the chemistry to make songs with A-list lyricist all the way down to trap rappers, Fabolous has been a standout artist for well over a decade. And his ability to remain a fixture in a rap environment that is totally different than when he started speaks volumes. He’s showing no signs of slowing down so he will continue to add on to an already spectacular career.
If you had one word to sum up the career of Brad Jordan, aka Scarface, that word would be iconic. It is quite impressive that he started out being one third of the legendary group Geto Boys, then turns around and has an even more legendary career as a solo artist. Face’s vivid story telling has been on full display for over 25 years, and he has given the Hip Hop community classic material time and time again. Often credited as being the first great rapper to come out of the South, he needs to be in every conversation when talking about the Hip Hop elite.
The self-proclaimed King of The South and creator of Trap Music, T.I. is easily the most influential rapper in today’s Atlanta rap scene, and possibly the entire rap scene. While crunk music was the dominant sound out of the ATL, T.I. ushered in the Trap Music era, and Trap Music has dominated ever since. But beyond Trap Music, T.I. has composed everything from radio friendly records, club bangers, and heartfelt songs. His range of content, along with his underrated lyrical skillset, is what makes him so great.
Busta is one of the most animated personalities in all of Hip Hop, but what may be overlooked is his astonishing body of work. Naming classic Busta Rhyme songs is as easy as hitting the ocean with a rock standing on a beach. Whether it’s Woo Hah, Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, Pass the Courvoisier, What’s It Gonna Be, Touch It, It’s a Party, the list goes on and on. And that’s not even mentioning his epic guest appearances! It’s no way around it; Busta Rhymes is simply a legend in the game.
Due to his now prominent career in Hollywood, many people forget just how phenomenal Ice Cube’s music career was. He was the lyrical talent on one of the most important and influential groups ever, NWA. Then after separating from NWA he went on to deliver multiple classic albums and monster hit records. Many will have 2Pac as the top MC repping the West Coast, but a serious argument can be made that Cube is the best from the west.
It’s almost shocking not hearing Game’s name being brought up more when it comes to top MCs. To just put it bluntly, the guy can flat out rap circles around 90% of Hip Hop artist out now. He’s got three top caliber albums under his belt (The Documentary, Doctor’s Advocate, Jesus Piece), classic freestyles, sales numbers, and a very high skillset. And out of all the rappers that talk tough guy shit, he’s probably one of the very few rappers who is really about that tough guy shit.
I know we said this list would feature 10 MCs; well we lied. We would be remiss if we didn’t have Kanye West on this list. Very few music artist can give you moments were you applaud what he does one minute, then turn around and shake your head at what he does the next minute. But Kanye simply has provided us masterful work for almost two decades. He’s got arguably the best catalog out of anyone in Hip Hop with at least three classic albums (College Dropout, Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy), he’s got a plethora of classic songs, he’s got the sales numbers, he’s one the greatest producers, and his influence on the culture is immeasurable. And he’s still in his creative prime so it’s almost certain we can expect more legendary music from him in the future.

Mad Speculation – Megan Draper
As we count down to the final seven episodes of Mad Men brief speculation on the fate of our favorite characters feels in order. Let’s begin with Megan Calvet Draper whose sputtering marriage to Don appeared to be over when we last saw her. Promo pics for the final episodes, however, confirm that Megan still graces the Mad Men canvas. Her outfit suggests that she will soon audition for Barbara Eden’s stand-in on I Dream of Jeannie or for the highly desired part of faux Jan in the Brady Bunch Variety Hour.
Megan started off as a SCDP secretary who turned Don’s head with a kiss. She had more success with this move than Don’s witless secretary Meredith did in “Waterloo.”
Megan used to be filled with hope – a confident woman who worked side by side with her love-struck husband selling Cool Whip. The honeymoon period came to an end when a run-in with some orange sherbet proved that desserts do not always bring happiness.
Megan left the ad business to take up a promising acting career in daytime soap operas while her husband took the neighbor to bed.
Soon after, Megan made the jump to California where her Hollywood Dreams fell short. She threw some wild Laurel Canyon parties and treated Don to an awkward threesome. In a moment of selfish insecurity she pushed a pregnant Stephanie into the streets. Megan has since morphed into a superficial wannabe actress who spends her days painting her nails in the California sun and planning movie dates with Jill, all the while living off of her husband’s money even though she does not want the actual husband.
During their last phone conversation Don promised Megan, “I will always take care of you.” Don Draper has a thing for taking care of women, obviously a holdover from his childhood. His promise to Megan felt paternalistic and her claim that she did not need him to take care of her was laughable. Megan’s final arc does not look promising. Without Don’s money she is just one bad decision away from starring in Deep Throat or dancing the night away with the Brady Kids.

Lady Malcolm Douglas Hamilton
has died, age 103
she found her calling in service work
after a life of privlige.
"Natalie attended private schools in Manhattan. Classmates recalled her being “annoyingly popular with the opposite sex,” The New Yorker said; she once invited 30 boys and no girls to a tea party. On a European tour at 17, she said she immediately felt “utterly familiar” with England, even though it was her first visit. While there, she became engaged to the son of a baron, but her mother thought she was too young to marry and squelched the romance, taking her home to enroll in courses at Columbia.
She made her debut in 1928, and the next year married Kenelm Winslow, whom she had met on the debutante circuit. The marriage, short-lived, ended in divorce. In 1937 she married Edward Latham, a former diplomat. Another divorce ensued, in 1939. Not long afterward, in January 1940, Bundles for Britain was born."

IN MEMORIAM ARES
Kevin Smith was injured on February 6, 2002, the day after he had finished work on the film. Some sources have said that he fell from a height possibly as great as six storeys. His injuries were critical and he was put on life-support. He passed away 10 days later in his sleep. In March 2002 he was due to begin filming in Hawaii for the action film Tears of the Sun (2003) (which at the time was known as “Man of War”) starring Bruce Willis. This would have been his first role in a major Hollywood film and could have finally put him on the US movie map. Kevin was an extremely popular attraction at numerous Xena/Hercules conventions in the US. He was extremely talented and an accomplished singer and musician. [IMDb]
This is my tribute for the God of War. Music: Staind – It’s Been Awhile.

Zelimkhan Bakayev, a famous Chechen singer, has been missing since 8 August, when he disappeared from Grozny.
OC Media learnt that Bakayev arrived in Grozny from Moscow for the wedding of his sister.
‘We are collecting information literally piece by piece. On 8 August, he left the house on business. In the evening he was planning to visit an advertising company to meet with some friends, but he never arrived. This happened between 17:00–18:00. After this, his phone was off. His parents had organised the wedding of his sister for 9 August, but the wedding went on without him’, Alisa, a close friend of Zelimkhan, told OC Media.
According to Bakayev’s friends, he moved from Chechnya to Moscow about two years ago to develop his career as a singer. He was planning to go back to the capital in the evening of 9 August, after the wedding.
‘We know for sure that he was planning to come back to Moscow and develop his career. He was planning to participate in several TV projects, he even applied to participate in one show. It was his dream’, Diana, another friend, told OC Media.
Several days after Bakayev went missing, some of his close relatives received a message through WhatsApp from his number saying ‘I am in Moscow. I am fine, don’t worry. I am going abroad’. His friends say that the message came shortly after relatives began asking questions to find him.
‘It’s also interesting that this was a text message. [Zelimkhan] almost always uses voice messages in WhatsApp. We know for sure that he never planned to leave Russia. This is why we can’t believe that he could leave. We would know about it’, Diana says.
On 15 August, and Instagram profile under the name Zelimkhan Bakayev posted a photo of Bakayev. The same account first became active on 12 July, posting a photo of Bakayev with the caption ‘friends, unfortunately my profile was hacked. It is in the process of being restored right now. As an emergency, so you don’t lose contact with me, I decided to make another profile’.
A number of Zelimkhan’s friends are sure that the profile is not Zelimkhan’s, and say they do not know who could be behind it.
Close relatives of Bakayev have refused to speak to the media.
‘Sorry, we cannot comment, we may have some problems’, one family member told OC Media.
When contacted, Chechnya’s Interior Ministry claimed that it was the first they had heard about Bakayev’s disappearance, and asked to call back later. After this, they did not answer our calls.
Zelimkhan Bakayev was born in Grozny in 1991. He began his career as a singer 10 years ago and has performed in Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Daghestan.

Phil Wickham – Battle Belongs
About Phil Wickham
A contemporary singer/songwriter who makes passionate, faith-based rock music, Phil Wickham’s name was already well-known in Christian music circles by the time his fourth album, 2009’s Heaven & Earth, found crossover success on Billboard’s pop charts. A string of successful albums followed before Wickham’s career was sidelined by a vocal injury in 2014. Overcoming his ailment, he achieved both a spiritual and commercial resurgence with his 2016 album, Children of God.
Born in San Diego, California, Wickham was raised in a religious household along with his brother and sister. His parents, both musicians and former members of the band Parable, encouraged his musical interests growing up. In 2003, Wickham toured and released his self-produced debut album, Give You My World. In 2006, he signed with Simple/INO Records and released his sophomore self-titled album. A year later, he returned with Cannons, which was inspired by C.S. Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and featured the song “Jesus Lord of Heaven.” In 2009, Wickham’s fourth album, Heaven & Earth, debuted at number four on Billboard’s Hot 100 Christian Albums chart and marked a significant entry onto the pop charts as well. In 2011, he released the album Response on Fair Trade Services, and in 2013, Wickham delivered his fifth full-length studio album, Ascension, a concept album inspired by Psalms 120 to 134, the so-called Psalms of Ascent. The following year, Wickham was forced to cancel a string of shows after experiencing pain and hoarseness in this throat. It was revealed he had developed a vocal polyp requiring surgery and a period of total silence. Wickham’s medical scare and subsequent recovery inspired a musical and spiritual reawakening for the veteran singer, which could be heard on his uplifting sixth LP, Children of God. The album arrived via Fair Trade Services in early 2016. Beginning with the single, “Living Hope,” Wickham began releasing a string of singles in advance of his 2018 album, Living Hope. An intimate reworking of that effort arrived the next year. Living Hope (The House Sessions) was later joined by Singalong, Vol. 4: Live, which featured guests Brian and Jenn Johnson and Matt Redman, and a set of his versions of seasonal classics, Christmas.


Originally published: Clash
It’s been a busy year for Carl Barat: he’s had his theatre acting debut; narrated a film; written his eponymous debut album; penned his first book; and reformed The Libertines. He’s even found time to get his girlfriend pregnant. It makes you wonder if there will ever be a point when he will stop creating things?
“If I could be happy and not create things then that would be lovely, but I don’t think I can see that happening,” he explains, sleepily. When the Clash catches up with Carl, he’s just stepped off the plane from Dusseldorf where he has been promoting his new solo album: “I could try and sex it up and make it sound something romantic, but there is no point,” he deadpans.
Released on October 4th, he’s told fans to “expect the unexpected” of his self-titled debut. “I just had too much selfish stuff to deal with in music and life,” he explains of his decision to go solo. “I just found that being in a band was distracting and potentially compromising of that… It was basically restrictive to what could be played instrument-wise.”
Carl Barat is certainly a surprise on first listen, especially in consideration of his collaborative past in The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things and The Chavs. There is still the poetic romanticism, sentiment and soul that kindles at the heart of his work; but now, musically, Barat has matured in his musicianship. “I guess I have learned to grow more as a musician and a person,” explains the 32-year-old. “I think I kind of got stuck in indie-stasis for a while, and of course that became something of a warm comfort zone, but it was something that I had to break out of.”
It’s a definite departure from the indie clichés that he feels his name and career has been embowered by. Born from a set of introspective demos written on a piano in his north London home in 2009, the brash buoyancy that has been familiarised his work to date has been replaced with symphonic tenderness and theatrical melodies. In its essence, Carl Barat sees Carl Barat put a full stop to certain chapters in his life while starting afresh on new ones – lyrically and musically. “I guess I never did write a break up album,” he muses, “but the stories of being in bands and being in love… I guess it is I suppose.”
The narrative that underlies each and every song on the album comes with its own cathartic nuance. From the obvious odes to his “simple, yet complex” relationship with Pete Doherty (‘So Long, My Lover’, ‘Run With The Boys’), there are buried a number a ditties towards with women that he has loved as lost within his life (‘Carve My Name’, ‘The Fall’, ‘What Have I Done’, ‘Ode To A Girl’). “I think they will be grateful to remain anonymous,” he offers when asked about the protagonists. “I don’t want this to become a public kicking match.”
For now, the only lady in his life is the one bearing his child, Edie Langley. With his firstborn due in December, Carl is “bracing” himself for fatherhood. “From what I hear about this old parenthood thing is that it is no joke,” he quips. “I’ll have to work it out as I go along. But yeah, I am excited by the thought.”
And what of the thought of his new album and birth of a new start for his career? “If you’ve been working to the idea that it doesn’t have to sell anything, which I have,” he poses, “it makes it a lot easier. You can really just go with your heart. I always knew in my soul that this album was the truth and I genuinely love this record. I’ve never said that about a record I’ve made. I’m happier and more complete as a person for having made it now.”

There is seen a number of earlier and you will old men day and you may wed youthful beauties. But a great amount of female online big date more youthful guys, many higher-reputation celebs!

Despite being born in the heart of Tyler, Texas; after relocating as a child it would be the city of Houston that vocalist Christopher DeShun Ward would call home. Taking an interest in music at an early age, his path would temporarily be delayed after being incarcerated at just 21-years-old. Using the ordeal for personal motivation, at 22 he would emerge a more mature artist; vowing to take back control of his career.
Focusing on songwriting and recording, in 2011 Ward would release his debut EP, The Prelude to Shun Ward City, paving his path into the industry. Collaborating with a number of producers overseas, he followed up with “What’s Your Name,” his first EDM track. Initially released in Italy, the single proved that he could make his mark abroad and still gain spins back home.
From there it was all about the grind. As the lead vocalist he shined on Kontor Records (Germany) compilation album Top Of The Clubs: Vol. 59, teaming with up with Snoop Dogg, T-Pain and Flo’Rida. Not one to rest, after appearing on Texas legend Devin The Dude’s "One For The Road" album, Shun Ward finally released his first independent album, "Shun Ward – USA (Under Shun’s Authority)".
And he hasn’t stopped, joining Joe Nebula on “Dying For Love” and “Turn It Up,” both originally aired during BBC Introducing. After dropping the Derek Flynz assisted single “Hot Pursuit” in Spain, Ward linked up with Yung Martez for a MTV feature banger called “When I Call”
Presently Shun Ward had rebranded himself under a new name, "Eddie Coke" in order to debut a new style. Get ready world for the introduction to "Eddie Coke."


Conversations With My Sister: on Paula Deen
My sister, Amy, and I have a time-honored tradition of trash-talking the magazine covers displayed near the checkout aisle at grocery stores. Especially the ones featuring well-known ‘homemaking celebrities.’ I’ve always thought Martha Stewart looked downright sinister. But that’s a subject worthy of it’s own post. Today I wanted to talk a little about Paula Deen.
She’s always creeped me out, but I’ve never been able to put my finger on exactly why. She’s doesn’t seem as malevolent as Martha, just… not right. Her piercing blue eyes, oddly perfect hair, and intense close-up photographs on the cover on her magazine just give me the jibblies. Amy texted me a photograph of her the other day. That same day, I read a little article about her and had to share the news with Amy.
Our text conversation went as follows:
Me: Fun fact about Paula Deen: apparently she was agoraphobic for 20 years. Since she never left her house, she taught herself to cook. So, no wonder she has crazy face. She had virtually no human contact for like 2 decades.
Amy: Wow. That explains so much. 🙂
Me: I wonder if she talked to the food as she was slicing and sauteing. Shiver.
Amy: That’s a creepy creepy image.
Me: Let it really sink in. It gets worse.
Amy: Like a sociopath. Speaking gently, almost reassuringly as she decapitates. Shudder.
Me: That’s the funniest/most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard!!!
Amy: It might be the most disturbing thing I’ve ever written. I need to get that image out of my head.
Not sure you believe me? See for yourself.

Love Maddie’s unique voice. Last year we skipped the Amish pie to make it to see her at the Muskie Lounge in Ventura. Definitely worth it. She has a facebook account and does live feeds on Wednesday nights ( even before the show Idol ). During a recent live feed she stated she intended to play RAGBRAI this year. No specifics given on place or t…[Read more]
Maddie Poppe from Clarksville, Iowa ( 2018 contestant on American Idol ) has posted she will be singing at Rabrai again. She has been a great performer the past 3 years. No specifics on time / place yet.


We followed this year’s Brit Awards from start to finish.
The following insights are based on the capture of conversation throughout the duration of last night’s Brits show.
The event exploded on social media, with the hashtag #Brits2016 tweeted more than one million times over the course of the evening.
The Brits ignited further discussion by hosting their own Twitter campaign, #SocialVote.
Twitter was used as a platform to vote for the ‘British Artist Video of the Year Award’. Votes were defined by the number of campaign specific hashtags, for example #britvidartistname.
“Wow, it really is times like these that prove to us that we have the best fans in the world”
One Direction won the award for this category, ahead of multi-brit winner Adele. 15 minutes into the programme, ‘Louis and Liam’ (64,000 tweets) and ‘Harry and Niall’ (11,000 tweets) were already trending on Twitter - indicating a high engagement rate of the 1D community. The socially active Directioners ultimately led to the band winning the award.
The Radarly Awards 2016
In most cases, the story on social reflected the story of the Brit Awards 2016. However, Radarly has raised some queries and consequently hosted its own social awards…
The Radarly Winner for British breakthrough artist is… James Bay!
The artist began trending on Twitter just 20 minutes into the show, with over 18,000 mentions. Particular attention was paid to his part in Justin Bieber’s ‘love yourself’ performance.
A video posted by Amy Richards (@itsamyyeh) on
Less than 1% of conversation included mentions of Wolf Alice.
The Radarly Winner for International female solo artist is… Ariana Grande!
Ariana Grande stole the social show, mentioned in 53% of posts.
A photo posted by dangerous woman (@xbocaxgrandex) on
Icelandic singer-songwriter Bjork surprised the entire O2 arena when she was awarded with International Female Solo Artist. It also surprised the social-sphere, with the artist ranking just third place in her category for social mentions. The award triggered mixed reactions, but her outfit choice seemed to cause more of an impact…
One thing, why was Bjork wearing my mums fruit bowl on her head? #BRITs2016
— Mike Wooller (@mikewooller) 24 February 2016
— DECEMBER (@decemberagency) 24 February 2016
Courtney Barnett and Meghan Trainor featured in less than 1% of social conversation.
The Radarly Social Media Winner is… One Direction!
One Direction were the most discussed artist on social throughout the Brit awards, with Louis Tomlinson taking the spotlight, sorry Liam!
A photo posted by Jelex (@jelex1994) on
A close second was Adele. Despite winning on the night, she was the first runner up on social. Less than 2% of users addressed her swearing/bleep incident within Brit discussion.
More interesting to the online community was Rihanna. Although the singer was not nominated for an award, her sensual performance caused an eruption of conversation on social.
A photo posted by Sasha Charnin Morrison (@sashacharninmorrison) on
The event was a great comeback for the star who has been off the scenes, with a massive reaction online (96% positive). Conversation surrounding Rihanna (56.6m twitter followers) almost matched the volume of conversation around International Male Solo artist of 2016, Justin Bieber (76.1m twitter followers).
The Radarly influencer award goes to…
In 24 hours, James Bay gained 8,000 followers on twitter, in light of the awards. The other acts that performed at the ceremony gained an average of just 3,000 followers each - which is less than half of the British Male Solo Artist of 2016.
Social media connects big events and big names to consumers. It is a two-way operation: the consumer influences the event and the event influences the consumer. Radarly gives brands the power to listen to their consumers, providing them with insights to feed their consumer’s needs.


Now actor Charlie Sheen has been all over the news lately, giving interviews to practically anyone with a microphone. This is the type of “news” I normally try to tune out, yet alone blog about.
He claimed to have spent his hiatus from TV working to teach and implement the “Lean” methodology at hospitals around Los Angeles. Listen to the audio and judge for yourself – is he pulling our legs? Is this just another Hollywood publicity stunt? Is he the type of Lean consultant you would want around? Does he follow the Toyota “respect for people” philosophy?
Ok, it's an early April Fool's Joke…. that was audio taken from an interview he gave to ABC's Good Morning America show.
Check out the rest of my Lean Parodies.

The years of trouble and anxiety involved in the mother-daughter relationship between Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher is well known. It was captured in writing by Carrie Fisher and in her novel Postcards on the Edge and in her screenplay for the film of the same title which included spectacular acting performances by Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine as fictionalized versions of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds respectively. All the trauma, conflict, addiction, and deep wounds involved in both lives could not be any less recognizable in the acting career of either woman. Carrie of course is best known for playing the heroic and charismatic Princess Leia, and Debbie is best known for her delightful musical comedies.
The loss of both women less than a day apart from each other has left a devastating gap in the movie world. Ironically but happily, the best way to honor both of them is through the pure escapism they brought so wonderfully to the world.
The greatest moment of Debbie Reynolds’ career is undoubtedly her role as Kathy Seldon in Singin’ in the Rain. Almost every time a list of the greatest movies is published by a group of critics or industry professionals, Singin’ in the Rain lands in the top ten. They always mention the historical importance of the film’s accurate portrayal of the difficulties involved in the movie industry’s change from silent movies to talkies, the process of making a movie in the late 1920s that this movie takes its audience through in an incredibly entertaining way, the wonderful use of songs made popular through the early movie musicals of the 20s and 30s, the dancing of Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, especially in the “Gotta Dance” ballet sequence, and Jean Hagen’s role as Lina Lamont, perhaps the funniest character in movie history. All of these are obvious contributions to the greatness of Singin’ in the Rain, but Debbie Reynolds’ part of that greatness is not often talked about.
The skeleton of the love story in Singin’ in the Rain was already beyond cliche in 1952 and could only work if used as a small part of a far more structured and unique film and acted with so much charm that it just doesn’t matter how many times we’ve already seen this type of a romance. Both of these are definitely in tact. The story isn’t only so rich and so funny that it can handle a cliched romance, but that romance is also infinitely more enjoyable here than any of the other hundreds of times it’s been done. That’s mostly because Debbie Reynolds knew how to work with Gene Kelly and make something great.
Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) finds himself in Kathy’s car when running from his adoring fans. The flirtation begins immediately, but Kathy tries very hard to restrain herself from giving into any of his advances scared of a relationship with a movie star and not expecting that she’ll ever see him again. So when she does see him again, she has to keep her facade of arrogance and resistance that wants nothing to do with him. While she is Don’s biggest fan in reality, she mocks him, questions his acting abilities, and humiliates him in order to maintain her facade. She is so utterly convincing in both her disdain and her attraction to Do, often in the very same scene, that she brings so much more to this character than the cliches could ever allow. Her singsongy announcement of their arrival at Sunset and Camden is the sound of a woman in love and a mischievous character willing to destroy the other person, even though the subject of both is the same person. In scenes like this, she is at her funniest and shows that thin line between love and hate in ways no other movie ever could.
Of course there is much more to be said about Singin’ in the Rain than I am doing here. I will hopefully write another article in the future dealing more with the movie as a whole. But for now this seemed to be a fitting tribute to an actress who though very much loved is often not given the attention she deserves for her brilliant comic timing and her ability to transform a cliche into complex character.


We are OBSESSED with Demi Lovato's Newest BOLD BLONDE MOVES! “I did a thing,” captioned Lovato in the first of a series of Instagram shares, each pulling focus to her newly lightened (lack of) lengths. Executed by stylist Amber Maynard Bolt, Lovato's cut and color offered a punkish, irreverent air—a stark departure from her menu of glossy waves and shoulder-skimming raven lob. Along with the style showing came a beauty look worthy of note: Ample bronzer was coupled with a hazy, elongated wing of black liner, shapely brows, and an overlined, heavily glossed peach lip.

"Musician Dustin Ballard has turned a spare room in his Dallas home into a soundproof studio. Inside are relics from another era: a ukulele, a fiddle, a smattering of 45s and an Edison phonograph. But when he sits down at his PC to make music, he’s immersed in the future.
It’s from this studio that Ballard, a copywriter and creative director, makes artificial intelligence-generated mash-ups for his popular YouTube channel, There I Ruined It, a genre-bending experiment he started when his western swing band was sidelined during the pandemic.
“At first, it was more about taking the video of a live performance or music video and then swapping out the sound. It might be Lady Gaga, but it sounds like polka music. Then it evolved into different things—mash-ups, AI and auto-tuning—and just a variety of ways to ruin music,” he says.
Ballard performs all the instruments on his tracks but uses an AI tool to transform his vocals into those of whatever artist he is spoofing. His efforts have caught the attention of the celebrities who inspired his songs. In May, an incredulous Snoop Dogg could be found on Instagram singing along to Ballard’s AI-generated mash-up of the rapper’s track “Gin and Juice” with the Jungle Book song “The Bare Necessities.”
There has been an explosion of AI-generated music featuring the living or resurrecting the dead—including David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison, whose AI incarnations can now be found performing covers of songs by Radiohead, Oasis and Lana Del Rey, respectively.
“Heart on My Sleeve,” a track featuring AI-generated vocals from Drake and the Weeknd was a streaming smash last year after it went viral on YouTube and Spotify. Even famous artists have got in on the action. French DJ and music producer David Guetta caused a stir when he created a song with AI Eminem vocals.
But as artists like Ballard push the limits of parody, fair use, right of publicity, infringement and authorship, there is one overarching question: Is any of this stuff legal?"


In 2008 Belin made the first spray portrait of the rapper Wiz Khalifa, already at that time the singer echoed this work carried out in the city of Linares. Belin feels inspired by rap music and especially by this rapper who recently signed his first professional contract with the Warner Bros.
“I like to identify with talented people who pursue their dreams as the Good Wiz, so I wanted to take a brief look at the evolution of two people who began their dreams 13 years ago, and who are still inspiring the whole generation today”
13 years have passed since then, and both artists have successfully developed their respective careers. Wiz on the one hand becomes the most influential musician of the millennial generation and on the other Belin consolidates himself as the world's leading urban artist.
Belin wants to celebrate the creation of his company Rampa, making a new portrait of the singer in his postneocubist style, style created by Belin himself in the year 2016, a style that catches the turn of the century cubism and urban art as the most contemporary art stream
