Sad news for xmas day, but I’m sure you will have seen on the news that today we lost a great playwright and political activists. He was 78.
Harold Pinter, CH, CBE, Nobel Laureate (10 October 1930 – 24 December 2008), was a world-renowned English playwright, screenwriter, actor, director, poet, political activist, and president of the Central School of Speech and Drama, a constituent college of the University of London. After publishing poetry as a teenager and acting in school plays, Pinter began his theatrical career in the mid-1950s as a rep actor using the stage name David Baron.
During a writing career spanning over half a century, beginning with his first play, The Room (1957), Pinter has written 29 stage plays; 26 screenplays; many dramatic sketches, radio and TV plays; poetry; some short fiction; a novel; and essays, speeches, and letters. He is best known as a playwright and screenwriter, especially for The Birthday Party (1957), The Caretaker (1959), The Homecoming (1964), and Betrayal (1978), all of which he has adapted to film, and for his screenplay adaptations of others’ works, such as The Servant (1963), The Go-Between (1970), The French Lieutenant’s Woman (1981), The Trial (1993), and Sleuth (2007). He has also directed almost 50 stage, TV, and film productions of his own and others’ works.
Despite frail health since 2001, he has continued to act on stage and screen, most recently in the October 2006 critically-acclaimed production of Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape, during the 50th anniversary season of the Royal Court. In addition to continuing to write (mostly poetry), to give interviews, to speak about political issues, and to attend theatrical and cinematic premieres of his own and others’ works, he accepted the presidency of the Central School of Speech and Drama in October 2008.

A Night at the Guest House at Graceland with Superstar TG Sheppard!
Jerome Robinson | Contributor
Before TG Sheppard took the stage, you knew it was going to be a night to remember. Mayor Bill Morris and his wife had taken their seats on the front row. Kelly Lang’s mom was there. TG Sheppard’s brother was there. Our own Kelly Price was on the second row plotting to start his own country music career. The one and only Charlene Tilton who played Lucy Ann Ewing in the popular television series Dallas, was glowing in the VIP section.
Shining in all her glory was the Guest House at Graceland. The hotel was in itself one of the big stars of the night. The theater is one of the best places in the region to enjoy a very intimate concert.
TG Sheppard launched into his hit single Slow Burn and the magic of the evening began . . .
Mr Sheppard hit all the right notes as he took us down memory lane with hit after hit. Even the moments in between songs were moments to be treasured. The chemistry between the artist and his band highlight the bonds created by years of shows on the road. Playing in Memphis, Playing at Elvis’s house, clearly brought back memories for TG, and everyone in the audience hung onto every detail of the personal memories of Graceland.
Kelly sat down to perform what should be the next great Tennessee anthem. Her song captures the true heart and spirit of our great state!
TG Sheppard told his mom back in Humboldt TN that he would be friends with Elvis Prestley . . .
When Kelly Lang took the stage, you couldn’t help but feel the amazing love this beautiful couple share. From her red bottom shoes to her red guitar, Kelly is a show stopping talent. She looked right at home as she launched into songs from her throwback album. Kelly sang a couple of her new songs and showed all of us why the old sounds of country and blues are still the best. The audience cheered as she sang about being obessed with a new love. But it was Tennessee Moon that grabbed your heart and made you feel her connections to the very roots of Memphis, Nashville, and all of what makes our state special. You instantly find yourself proud of our home state as she touched nuggets of greatness from different parts and eras of the state.
TG Sheppard and Kelly Lang shows us what it’s like to be in love not just with someone, but with your art, your life, and your values. The duets were beautiful. But the highlight of the evening was the personal notes from TG. He talked about gaining success and then spending all your money. He launched into the Folger’s Coffee, you know it! The Best Part of Waking Up is . . . The crowd loved it.
TG reminded us with his hit Party Time that we all have a choice, we can get stuck accepting the negatives of our world as reality or we can celebrate all that is great. His personal review of the Guest House at Graceland was a shining endorsement of what is now a true asset to the city of Memphis! Thank you to the staff of the Guest House at Graceland. This facility is beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing! We love it. Thank you TG Sheppard for a great night of music and entertainment!
If you missed this concert, you owe it to yourself to add a TG Sheppard and Kelly Lang concert to your bucket list!

Beautiful Jennifer Lopez
NewsLopez's $1 Million Anniversary Ring
9 June 2005 (WENN)
Three-times married Jennifer Lopez received a $1 million engagement ring from her husband Marc Anthony to celebrate her first ever one-year wedding anniversary. J.Lo's previous marriages with Cuban waiter Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd both failed to pass the one year mark, but Lopez and Anthony toasted their one year as husband and wife on Sunday. Lopez and long-time friend Anthony shocked Hollywood when they wed in a secret ceremony at the beauty's Beverly Hills, California mansion, after only a four-month courtship and five months after she ended her high-profile engagement to Ben Affleck. America's Star magazine reports the couple's initial courtship was so fast, they were never formally engaged, so Anthony thought it was a romantic gesture to give her an engagement ring. A family friend says, "It sounds a little odd, but Marc and Jennifer were never really engaged - they just got married. So, to mark their first anniversary, Marc officially proposed, this time presenting Jennifer with an engagement ring from exclusive jeweller-to-the-stars Neil Lane. It's huge, and it sparkles beyond belief. Jennifer was very excited to get it."
J.Lo Sneaks Past PETA
16 May 2005 (WENN)
Jennifer Lopez has out-smarted the animal rights protesters hounding her publicity tour for new movie Monster-in-Law, by taping an interview in secret. People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) activists campaigned at the film's premiere in April and outside her appearances on MTV and David Letterman's TV show earlier this month. And they intended to continue their bitter protest at the use of animal fur in J.Lo's clothing range Sweetface outside the recording of her appearance on Barbara Walters show The View on Friday. Because The View guest host Constance Marie is a PETA supporter, the group decided to tone down their protest by just handing out leaflets outside the New York studio - but were stunned to discover the interview was actually recorded last Tuesday. Peta spokesperson Michael McGraw says, "After the waves of noisy protesters that confronted her at David Letterman, it's no surprise that J.Lo is avoiding any pre-announced live appearances in New York City." Meanwhile, a spokesman for The View insists fears about Peta had nothing to do with the decision to tape the normally-live show.

Queen B launched a brand new clothing line in collaboration with Topshop and I am beyond hype! There is so much in store as her line will include a 200 piece collection. It is called IVY PARK and will feature active wear from bras and leggings to slides, hoodies, headwear and track suits. It is everything Cute Tomboy and her marketing campaign proves JUST THAT. The diva made her debut yesterday seen below when she released her promotional visual via YouTube and let’s just say, she had my full attention. It gave me the chills, brrr. 🙂
In the video you see her from one shot to the next (including Ivy herself) wearing various pieces from her collection and of which was also filmed in her hometown at the very park she would go to for peace. solitude, focus and reflection. She speaks of the park she grew up running through and how it became her “state of mind” and had also became her “strength”. She follows with, “Where’s your park?” – to which i answered, prayer.
Timing couldn’t be more perfect, go figure, as she is also found on the cover of this month’s issue of Elle Magazine wearing her line. Let’s just say, she is just GORG! But then again, what Cute Tomboy isn’t!? Ha!
The collection will be available at three retailers, Nordstrom, Zalando and the aforementioned Topshop beginning April 14th. Prices will range from $30 upwards of $200.

In Touch Weekly published its 5,000-word interview with Stormy Daniels on Friday, and it’s about as stacked with outrageous and titillating details as one might imagine…
For example, President Donald Trump, the leader of the free world, is deathly afraid of sharks. He reportedly told Daniels: “I Hope all sharks die.”
Stormy: I’ve never seen her. I’ve never seen her in person, ever. Then the next time I saw him was the end of July and he called me and asked if I could come meet him at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And I went. My boyfriend drove me. Keith came out and met me at my truck and walked me in. He had a private bungalow out back, which is cool because I’d never been there and I haven’t been there since. They have these, like, individual cottages there. Cool. They’re pretty nice. I went there. We had dinner once again in his room. I had swordfish that time. Once again, no alcohol. The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever. You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like, “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know.
The interview, an excerpt from which was published earlier this week, also provided an answer to a question every American has probably pondered at some point: What’s the deal with the president’s hair?
Echoing Samson from the Book of Judges, Daniels said Trump told her that he fears he will lose his wealth and power if he changes his famous 80s hairstyle.
Stormy: Yeah, no one else ever came in. He stood outside. We were talking about all sorts of things. I remember he asked me like, “I gotta ask you a question and I don’t want to get you offended” and I was like, “Trust me, you can’t.” I was expecting some sort of vulgar question and it wasn’t; it was something about how much money I make off the royalties of something. And then I remember saying to him, “Ok well I have a question for you and it IS offensive.” And I asked him about his hair. I was like, “Dude, what’s up with that?” and he laughed and he said, “You know, everybody wants to give me a makeover and I’ve been offered all this money and all these free treatments.” And I was like, “What is the deal? Don’t you want to upgrade that? Come on, man.” He said that he thought that if he cut his hair or changed it, that he would lose his power and his wealth. And I laughed hysterically at him.
Trump met Daniels at a party in 2006 at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. He invited her to dinner after meeting her on the course, and the two had dinner in his room that night where, according to her account, one thing led to the next…
…Trump was reportedly infatuated with her from that point on. She said he would call frequently, and even tried unsuccessfully to get her on the Apprentice.
The night after they met, Daniels hung out with Trump and Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at a party in the ballroom of a hotel in Tahoe. Trump had to leave early, but he asked Roethlisberger to look after Daniels.
Daniels said the star quarterback, who had won the Superbowl that year, walked her back to her room because Trump had asked him to look after her.
Stormy: After. We were still in the bedroom. We hung out for a little while and he just kept saying, “I’m gonna call you, I’m gonna call you. I have to see you again. You’re amazing. We have to get you on.” I ended up leaving and the next night I saw him again at a party. It was in the downstairs of the hotel I was in and he was hanging out with Ben Roethlisberger. When I got there, he was already with him. He had Keith, his bodyguard, call me and ask me if I was coming. When I got there, I called Keith and he told me where he was sitting and he brought me over. And he was hanging out with Ben for a long time. A couple other people around, nobody famous. Mostly people trying to hang on to them. Ben had just won the Super Bowl that year. Donald excused himself. He had to leave, I don’t remember why, and he made Ben promise to take care of me. I stayed another 15-20 minutes and Ben Roethlisberger actually walked me up to my room that night because Donald told him to. Yeah, he walked me all the way to my hotel room.
Daniels said that after the two slept together, Trump never seemed worried about Melania finding out about their liaison. She also said she never saw Melania at any of the events Trump invited her to – not even his Miss USA pageant.
Stormy: I’ve never seen her. I’ve never seen her in person, ever.
He asked me if I could stay but I couldn’t, I really couldn’t, I had to go somewhere. He also invited me to the Miss USA pageant. He left tickets for me and for my assistant at will-call. And we went. I didn’t get to really talk to him that much because there were people waiting to talk to him and I didn’t want to be that girl. So I waved and said thank you for the tickets.
Daniels said she and Trump started speaking less frequently in 2008, after he broke the news to her that the brass at NBC had vetoed his push to have her featured as a contestant on the apprentice.
Stormy: Yeah. But isn’t that weird? So strange. So we finished dinner and we moved to the sofa so he could get a better view of Shark Week. That’s when he broke the news to me that it almost went through but there’s somebody that had a problem and it got vetoed and blah blah blah. I was like, “I told you, you couldn’t make it happen.” I was pretty annoyed. He kept rubbing my leg and was like, “You know, you’re so beautiful. I love your little nose, it’s like a little beet.” I go, “Did you say a beet? Like, what the f—?” I started giving him a hard time about it. And he goes, “No, no, no, no! It’s majestic. It’s a very smart nose, like an eagle.” I was like, “Just keep digging, dude. Keep digging that hole.” Like I said, we had this banter. I was kind of mean to him. He just kept brushing my hair off my shoulder and kissing on my neck. And he was like, “So, can you stay?” and I was like, “No, I gotta go.” I left. Keith walked me back to my car. I was in there probably two and a half hours. I left and he kept calling me less and less over the coming months. I do remember, it was whatever season Tito Ortiz was on and I guess Jenna was on one of the episodes just with Tito and he called me and I didn’t watch the show, I had no idea that Tito was on it, much less Jenna. I think he was afraid I was going to be pissed. So he called me and was like, “Did you see Jenna Jameson on my show? I didn’t know she was going to go on. That’s bullshit. She made a fool of herself.” He said, “She’s a bimbo. You’re so much better.” I was like, “I didn’t even know about it.” I just thought that was really funny. Don’t care. Totally over it.
Trump bragged about his daughter Ivanka frequently, Stormy said. At one point, he even compared her to Ivanka, saying she was “beautiful and smart” just like his daughter Ivanka.
Stormy: Yup. He bragged about his daughter quite a bit though. He was very proud of her, which is nice. He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter. She is smart and beautiful, so I guess that’s a compliment. But as far as family, that’s all he ever said. He definitely is very proud of her, as he should be.
Daniels said she decided to participate in the interview after one of her friends told her that Trump had publicly dissed the adult entertainment industry, something that Daniels said was infuriating to her.
Stormy: That, you know, it’s ok to be friends with someone who works in the adult entertainment business in private but publicly, you’re going to bash the industry or people who work in it. It was a story that was off the record so I don’t even know if you know what I’m talking about. I guess some other chick said something and she’s not a porn star, she’s no one famous. I don’t know who she is. And he like didn’t just go, “No, that didn’t happen.” He went on some tirade how he would never be associated with someone…blah blah blah. But clearly I do a lot more than just pose for. So that just makes me wonder if he was just flat-out lying the whole time. I didn’t have any unrealistic expectations of actually being on the show; I figured my chances were 50-50, I did believe that he was shy. So now I wonder if the whole thing was just a f—ing lie.
Pressed about the affair, Daniels said she felt badly about enabling Trump to cheat on Melania. She added that she wouldn’t sleep with him again, because the circumstances in her life have changed and she’s “with someone now that I feel differently about.”
The White House hasn’t acknowledged the interview, which was purportedly given in 2011, before Daniels reportedly accepted $130,000 from Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to keep her from sharing her story on Good Morning America, and with Slate.com.

Whether it’s to lust after the couture wedding dresses or dream about some of the world’s most exclusive and enviable wedding locations, there’s no denying that we all love a celebrity wedding. And as we’ve been voted the Best Wedding Venue in Wales for three years, nobody loves a good wedding more than us! Whilst most of us aren’t blessed with their budgets, celebrity weddings are a great place to get inspiration, and it’s fair to say that wedding fever has heightened in the UK and beyond after seeing the photographs of Pippa Middleton’s beautifully sophisticated wedding day.
With the topic of Pippa’s wedding still hot on everyone’s lips, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to take a look at some of the most famous celebrity weddings from the last few years. So sit back and relax as we recap on some of our favourite wedding moments. That is if you can take your eyes off that Giles Deacon dress for just a few moments…
Kate and William
This was easily the most iconic wedding day of the last decade, and you can’t deny that Kate looked truly breathtaking. In fact, when you think of the most defining wedding moments of our generation, it doesn’t get more iconic than Kate emerging in her Alexander McQueen wedding dress. Aptly, it was a dress fit for royalty!
Kim and Kanye
Love them or hate them, there’s no denying that #Kimye’s wedding was a memorable one! And how could we forget the dream that was Kim’s custom-made Givenchy haute couture wedding dress? In fact, their wedding photo was the most liked photo on Instagram in 2014, with 2.4 million likes.
By Kardashian standards, the wedding ceremony was relatively small with 200 guests watching them tie the knot in Florence. The same can’t be said for the budget though, which could make anyone’s eyes water! It was Kim’s wedding to Kanye that also saw her get welcomed into fashion’s most elite circle as she finally graced the front cover of Vogue with her new husband.
Posh and Becks
It’s hard to believe that the UK’s golden couple has now been married for almost 18-years! However, their special day still remains at the forefront of many people’s minds. In a spectacle that featured doves, rose petals, flower girls dressed as angels, it’s fair to say that the event was ever so slightly over the top.
The couple also had his-and-her gold thrones and cut their wedding cake with a sword! In fact, even David himself admitted that they might have gone overboard. Yet, the lavish ceremony clearly wasn’t to compensate for a lack of love as Posh and Becks are still very much happily married and remain as one of the nation’s favourite couples.
Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney
The world was shocked when Hollywood’s most famous bachelor finally tied the knot. But his bride wasn’t just any woman. A barrister specialising in international law and human rights, Amal Alamuddin has both brains and beauty. Wearing a beautiful Oscar de la Renta gown that featured hand-embroidered pearls and diamanté accents, Amal looked truly breathtaking in their Venice wedding whilst the groom donned a classic Giorgio Armani tuxedo.
Pippa and James Matthews
Of course, this wouldn’t be a wedding blog if we didn’t take a more in-depth look at 2017’s most high-profile wedding! Epitomising elegance and natural beauty, Pippa Middleton somehow managed to look even more stunning than she did when she first caught the nation’s attention as the bridesmaid for the Duchess of Cambridge in 2011. With her hair and makeup styled in a chic yet simple way, Pippa let her Giles Deacon dress do all the talking.
The wedding ceremony took place in a small church in Berkshire and the reception was held in a purpose-built glass marquee at the Middleton estate. Admittedly, not all of us have the space to build a wedding marquee in our back gardens, so if you’re hoping to recreate the exclusivity and privacy that Pippa wanted, your best option is to book an exclusive wedding venue. If only there was one in Gower with equally as gorgeous views. Oh, wait. That’s us.

Since moving back home to the Twin Cities in 2008, Jana has become a force in the jazz scene. With an appearance on season 10 of American Idol, and the release of her second full-length album, Fever, Jana is moving forward in a full head of steam. Known for her unique blend of jazz and pop music, she is a sought after performer and recording artist. On stage, she brings a vibrancy and passion that is infectious and ignites her audiences. With two records to date and a third set for release in Winter of 2012, she shows no signs of slowing down.
Jana has the pleasure of performing regularly with “The Jana Nyberg Group” and “Out From Inside.” She has also enjoyed performances with the Adam Meckler Quintet, pianist Josh Rawlings, and has recorded with Indie-Dance icon Gigamesh. She has been featured as a guest artist at the UW Eau Claire Jazz Festival, with the UW Green Bay jazz singers, and with the Bethel University Jazz Orchestra. You can hear Jana most extensively on her band’s debut self-titled album released in 2008, and on her August 2011 release, “Fever”.


MADY has recently found a home for her music at production and record company, Treasure 5 Entertainment, who have signed and produced her upcoming debut project. “I was able to combine my influences from artists like The Weeknd all the way to bands like The Killers and Coldplay. I don’t just listen to one style of music, so I wanted more than one style to be represented. In the same vein, I knew I had to zero in on my own unique sound, and I feel like we did that with this project.” That group of songs is set for release with great anticipation for later this year.
Using the word fearless doesn’t do justice to the self-driven mindset MADY approaches her career with, and it’s the opinion of many in the know that there is no limit to the impact she has both on and off the stage.

k.d. lang & Roy Orbison – Crying
This time instead of my photos I added two of my artworks here. If interested seeing more of my art check out myy blog
Roy’s solo rendition of “Crying” that night was flawless. Lang pours even more emotion into that song than he did in her subsequent solo performances of it, and her voice is unbelievably clear and strong. Two spectacular talents.
I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, “Hello”
Oh, you wished me well, you couldn’t tell
That I’d been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, “So long”
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Roy Orbison was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His music was described by critics as operatic. Many of Orbison’s songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male rock-and-roll performers chose to project machismo. He performed while standing motionless and wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses, which he wore to counter his shyness and stage fright.
k.d. lang, is a Canadian pop and country singer-songwriter A mezzo-soprano,Lang has contributed songs to movie soundtracks and has collaborated with many musicians. I love her voice.

Best known as the most obscure bassist in jazz history, Eiliv Bolstad died in Oslo yesterday. Or perhaps the day before yesterday; possibly even the day before that.
Best known for his presence on Anthony Braxton’s seminal 1970 solo saxophone recording “For Alto,” Bolstad was mourned by Brooklyn New York natives and jazz aficionados Benjamin Levine, and Mark Goldberg. Mr. Levine and Mr. Goldberg who have lived next door to each other since early childhood, and continue to do so in respective basements, plan to commemorate Mr. Bolstad’s life by playing all the recordings Mr. Bolstad played on, or rumored to have play on.
Mr. Bolstad is documented in studio logs as recording in the adjoining studio at the time of Braxton’s “Alto” sessions. “I believe Eiliv sat in on some of Braxton’s “Alto” sessions,” recalled Mr. Levine. Pressed to authenticate, Mr. Goldberg added, “ Well, no, he didn’t play, but he did sit in. That he influenced these recordings there is no doubt.”
Asked to comment, Mr. Braxton stated he had never heard of Mr. Bolstad.
Collectors Levine and Goldberg argue over who first introduced Mr. Bolstad to whom. Also being contested in New York State Appellate Court is ownership of Mr. Bolstad’s only solo album, which at press time was not able to be located by either party. Mr. Levine claims it was traded for a recording by stride legend Willie “The Lion”Smith. While Mr. Goldberg insists he would not have traded it under any circumstances
Research has not proved the existence of any recording by Mr. Bolstad.
Meanwhile the litigation continues.

The rise of sparkling wine bubbles mirrors the rise of personality-driven drinks businesses, as Tshepang Molisana writes.
With a reported net worth of over $1 billion (R15 billion), Jay Z has a clear affinity for business.
Arguably one of the most influential hip-hop icons of all time, Jay Z has parlayed his rap career into a wide-reaching business empire. This includes the purchase of music streaming platform, Tidal, the Roc Nation sports and music empire, his investment in Armand de Brignac and the famous Ace of Spades Champagne, D’Usse Cognac as well as other businesses.
In March 2019, Bonang founded The House of BNG and became the first black woman to be inducted into the Cap Classique Producers Association. This historic moment was both a seamless extension of her brand and lifestyle, as well as a reflection of the support of her audience.
She caused a frenzy with the Instagram caption “Girls with vineyards” and parlayed the hype into a sold-out product.
Bonang explained: “Everybody who knows me knows that I love bubbly, I love Champagne. I wanted to create a brand that would be part of how I live every day.”
“I obviously can’t create a Champagne, I’m not in Champagne,” she explained as her famous dimple deepened. “We started producing the House of BNG as early as 2016. We worked for about two or three years with (Villiera) winemaker, Jeff Grier,” Bonang explained.
During her tenure as a brand ambassador for Courvoisier she visited the Cognac region. She said: “They took me through the very long process of wine creation, barrels, the history as well as what it takes to produce a bottle of Cognac. I was also a brand ambassador for Cîroc (vodka) and Brutal Fruit as well, so I took all of that. I’ve been learning as I go.”
In a lawyer’s letter in 2020, influencer Kefilwe Mabote confirmed her romantic connection to Edwin Sodi as he was arrested on State capture-related charges. While the people of the Free State considered their future under the asbestos roofs that resulted in Sodi’s arrest, Kefilwe returned to her carefully curated feed, shook off her affiliation to corruption and inked a brand endorsement with Malfy Gin.
As online reach and engagement becomes increasingly linked to the marketing success of drinks brands, the personalities that represent them are, in turn, a business, (wo)man.
But that’s not all
Being aware of the marketability of their personal brand leads influencers to extend their reach.
Khanyi Mbau earned her reputation playing Doobsie in Muvhango and Mbali in Mzansi. She was one of many liquor brand owners affected by the multiple alcohol prohibitions in the past year. With the restrictions lifted in February, the star is hoping that her 2.4 million Instagram followers will support her delicately pink I AM Khanyi Millennial Shimmer Gin.
MiCasa frontman and MKR co-host J Something doesn’t just have one gin – he has three! Everyone knows he celebrates his Portuguese heritage and loves food and flavour so little surprise that his Jin Gin has three different flavour variants: rooibos, orange and honey; tomato and sweet piquant peppers and honey and olive.
In an interview with BizCommunity.com he said it was important to do something he loved. “I’ve never been much of a drinker, but a good G&T always hit the spot. The team at Craft Link helped me create a gin that not only suits my audience and their palates but that also represents something different in the market; ultimately it represents my story. I mean it’s still a gin, it’s just ‘something different’.”
Some years ago rapper AKA added his endorsement to Cruz vodka – and the watermelon flavour sold up a story. In November 2020 he did it again, this time with a banana flavoured variant. It was a limited edition Banana Deluxe, complete with yellow bottle.


Russi Taylor, the longtime voice of Minnie Mouse, numerous Simpsons characters and a wide breadth of pop culture favorites, has died at the age of 75. Disney announced that Taylor passed Friday in Glendale, California, providing a statement from C.E.O. Bob Iger. “Minnie Mouse lost her voice with the passing of Russi Taylor,” he wrote. “For more than 30 years, Minnie and Russi worked together to entertain millions around the world—a partnership that made Minnie a global icon and Russi a Disney Legend beloved by fans everywhere.” No cause of death was provided.
“We’re so grateful for Russi’s talent as well as the tremendous spirit and great joy she brought to everything she did,” he continued. “It was a privilege to have known her and an honor to have worked with her, and we take comfort in the knowledge that her work will continue to entertain and inspire for generations to come.”
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1944 and a lifelong Disney fan—even meeting Walt Disney and vowing to work for him during a childhood Disneyland visit—Taylor grew into voice work with Hanna-Barbera in the ‘80s, before landing the role of Minnie Mouse in 1986. The character had gone largely unvoiced for twelve years prior, and Taylor continued the work through 2019. She was also widely recognized as the voice of Simpsons characters Martin Prince, Üter, Terri and Sherri, original DuckTales protagonists Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby, Gonzo on The Muppet Babies and more.

Thousands of singing fans and followers gather outside of an apartment late one December night in 1980. They are not celebrating, or trying to catch a glimpse of their idol. Instead, they are mourning him. John Lennon, one of the fab four; was shot and killed on December eighth. Before the sun begins to rise the next day, three girls have already taken their own lives after hearing the news. The death of the former Beatle shocked the nation and left a dent on thousands of people. More than music fans were upset. Thousands of peace activist were also displeased with the loss of their role model and leader. Lennon was more than a musician, he was a hero. John Lennon was born October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. Lennon's father was not around after he was born and his mom never accepted the responsibilities of motherhood. Therefore, he lived with his aunt and uncle who lived in a nice, working class section of Liverpool ("John Lennon"). Later, Lennon was apart of one of the biggest pop music groups of all time, The Beatles. On February 7, 1964, ten thousand people gathered at Kennedy International Airport in New York City to greet The Beatles on their first visit to America ("John Lennon"). The death of John Lennon struck so many at the heart because it was so unexpected and tragic. He was a musician, a peace activist, but he was also a role model to millions of baby boomers. They did not just listen to Lennon in their earlier years; they felt like they actually grew up with Lennon because he played such a big part of their lives. He wrote songs that helped them through troubled times; he gave people hope when they needed it most. Lennon did more than write music though. Lennon led thousands of peace activists in protest. Lennon showed traits of leadership, he taught his followers to stand up for what they believe, and to speak their mind. Lennon first started to get involved with politics in May, 1969 with the antiwar song "Give Peace a Chance". This...

“Truly, weather just made it impossible,” Carole Florman, a spokeswoman for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said on Thursday. “No one’s trying to fool anybody. This isn’t a matter of Milli Vanilli,” Ms. Florman added, referring to the pop band that was stripped of a 1989 Grammy because the duo did not sing on their album and lip-synched in concerts.
Of course, there are explanations. But the gay guy got cut, and the press seems to be given only the illusion of access.
One wonders what else is veneer.


Belated post to bid farewell to Amy Winehouse, who passed away yesterday at the untimely age of 27. It was she who uttered the words that first inspired this blog's title:
"I'm not a one-trick pony. I'm at least a five-trick pony."
From one five-trick pony to the other: goodbye, Ms. Winehouse! Your music kicks ass, and you will be sorely missed.


The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.
In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.
Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

Das denken andere über das Buch
Rezensionen zu The Woman in Me - Hörbuch
Es ist schön, Britneys Geschichte endlich aus ihrer Sicht zu erleben. Stellenweise ist es etwas wirr und führt einiges zu wenig aus, da fehlt dann der Kontext. Und, nachdem was sie schreibt, kommen viele Akteure wohl immer noch zu gut weg. Nichtsdestotrotz unterhaltsam.
Britney Spears was an icon when I was a teenager - I loved her music, her music videos, I watcher her movie Crossroads, I read every story in every magazine about her, I thought she and Justin were the perfect couple and I watched her go down and I worried about her. She‘s obviously gone through a lot and it is interesting and also inspiring to hear her story. I really hope she‘s in a good place right now and I truly wish her peace. She deserves to be able to live her life now on her own terms without anybody else interfering. Michelle Williams is an AMAZING story teller!! I loved listening to her and sometimes got so lost that I thought it was Britney herself reading the story. Well done!

That however did not go down well with the Prophet who have already contracted two other people to work at the same media unit after the rapper left the church.
The prophet alleged that the rapper left with his youtube password after one year of disengagement and that the rapper did not answer his call so he decided to use the police to humuliate the rapper by arresting him and detaining him at the police station.
Rapper Noel Empraw however said he had handed over everything that belong to the prophet since may last year when he left to pursue his carrier, the rapper said he did not create any youtube password as was alleged and that he only logged on to the youtube through Gmail which was all handed over to them at disengagement.
The rapper said he has recieved many threat calls from the prophet himself that he will deal with the rapper for daring to pursue a carrier in music and not submit to his commands and wiles as a prophet.
According to the allegation at the police station, the prophet wants the rapper to give them access to thier youtube, the rapper who was detained at the Asokoro police station assisted the church official to understand how youtube works and the case was settled before the police officers and the rappers lawyer at the station and everything was satified okay.
But in a twist, the Prophet who was not satified called the station thereafter to threaten the officers on why the rapper was granted bail.
The Police was to succumb to the threat and ‘influence’ of the Prophet and subsequently detailed the Rapper, who was handcuffed over the allegation of the prophet having also tried unsuccessfully to coerce the Rapper to accept guilt and commit to same in writing.
Our Investigation reveals that the prophet is hell bent on fighting and frustrating the rapper from pursing a carrier in music using his connections in society, furthermore we discovered that the police doesn’t see any need to why the prophet should persecute the young rapper as the case is not a criminal case.
Rapper Noel Empraw has been involved in creating awareness for children with special needs especially children with Autism, he is also an Ambassador for Maternal And Child healthcare, he has performed with many local and international artistes on different platform.
The rapper says he feels the injustice in society should stop, the oppression of the rich against the poor should stop as his case is a typical example, he calls on musician in Nigeria and around the world to speak up against oppression.


Fede Conte was born in Brussels, Belgium from italian parents.
In his early 18 years his passion came about: the guitar. His self taught formation of the guitar came about due to different influences, i.e. Zucchero to Metallica. It’s due to these musicians that Fede Conte credits the rich, open, characteristics of his music personality.
In 1995, he became not only a guitarist but composer for several rock bands.
After some musical experiences and in order to stay completely honest and respect himself, he took the decision to compose the music that would fit his own lyrics, enabling him to express, with is voice in his own manner, what he has to say.
Quite naturally, Fede Conte chose Italian to express himself. None the less, he remains an Italo-Belgian. He is very proud and honors his Latin origins, which has given him that Mediterranean passion of fire and generosity. Italian, being the musical language that it is, marries very nicely with his voice rendering it smooth, hot and seducing.
In 2002, he successfully passed the singing contest selection for the R.T.B.F. (Belgian Television) talent program “Pour La Gloire” ("For The Glory" – former version of The Voice) in Brussels. Even though he didn’t get the first prize when he sang “Baila”, written by the author/composer Zucchero, he was highly praised about his voice and talent.
In 2004, Fede Conte finished his first solo album, “Paragone” (Comparison). This gem is based on different instances of life. Each song is one of a kind, dripping with the pleasures of life… and living: sometimes shocking; sometimes painful. “Paragone”, with its beautiful comparisons, rambles through and shows the diversity of how we human beings are woven. Our egoisms, unavailability, non-complicity, lack of understanding, but also love, hope, values, respect… Each song renders different types of strong feelings! Lots of emotions!
In 2008, he started to write his second album, but did not finalize it.
Fede Conte's adventure was put on pause. The album never saw the light of day. But the compositions never ceased to exist in the artist’s head.
It was only in the middle of 2019, 11 years later, that Fede Conte decided to reunite the musicians to finalize the work, record the album and distribute it.
In September 2019, Fede Conte is back to work in studio, showcase and album release are scheduled on 11/09/2020 in Brussels

It has been reported that one of the absolute biggest pioneers in House music, Frankie Knuckles, has died due to ‘complications relating to Type II diabetes’ on March 31, 2014.
Knuckles developed diabetes in the mid-2000s having already contracted the bone disease osteomyelitis after breaking several metatarsals in his right foot while snowboarding in Switzerland, in 2003.
Against doctors orders, he continued to DJ and in July 2008, he had his foot amputated.
‘When I saw it was gone I had a good cry, but when I woke up the next morning I felt 1,000% better,’ he told the Guardian in 2011, ‘I didn’t realize how much pain I’d been in until it was gone. It was like all of a sudden the sun came out.’
Frankie, which was known as “The Godfather of House Music“, was born in the Bronx, NY but later relocated to Chicago where he played an important role in the development of house music during the 1980’s. He was active in the music scene for the past 40+ years and has contributed immensely to the electronic music scene. He remained active up until his death.
Frankie Knuckles performs during day 2 of the 2009 Electric Zoo Festival on Randall’s Island on September 6, 2009 in New York City.
Starting in the disco era of the 70’s, Frankie became a resident DJ at Chicago’s Warehouse Club and later launched his own music venue, known as the Power Plant. As the disco music declined in popularity, he soon started experimenting with various musical styles such as soul, disco and electronic music which later became “house music”.
His musical career consisted of several noteworthy collaborations, including Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Toni Braxton as well as a long list of remixes for Chaka Khan, Pet Shop Boys, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and many more.
One of Frankie Knuckles latest DJ sets was in 2013 at the Boiler Room in New York.
Rest in Peace, Frankie.

Night of Tarantula 2020, in Melpignano Nannini, Mahmood and Diodato
He gave a great show, in which the “pizzica del Salento” merged with international rock, pop and jazz music. This year the great concert of “La notte della Taranta 2020”, broadcast on Rai2, for the covida emergency was held behind closed doors in Melpignano. Leading the popular concert on stage together with the Roma Sinfonietta concert was Paolo Buonvino, composer and author of unforgettable soundtracks for cinema.
The storytelling of the evening was entrusted to the actor Sergio Rubini. Traditional songs of the popular and Salento tradition have been re-proposed such as “Lu Rusciu de Lu Mare”, “Tamburreddhu meu”, “Ferma Zitella” and Calinifta “, the famous goodnight in griko. An intimate atmosphere has characterized it for years, the most important event of the Salento summer, of international echo.
On the large wooden stage in the shape of a tambourine, three great artists of Italian music. Gianna Nannini sang “Fimmene Fimmene”, a song that she reproposed in a new version at the age of 16 from her first participation in the great concert. Diodato, the singer from Taranto and winner of the last Sanremo festival, performed an intense version of “Beddhra ci dormi”. Mahmood, with “Sabri Aleel”, embarked on a journey through the sounds of the Mediterranean.
Some pieces were accompanied by Sharon Eyal‘s choreography. The dancers of the corps de ballet re-proposed the themes already interpreted in the Dior show last July in Lecce.

How do you now when you’ve reached the upper echelons of Brazilian popular music? When Caetano Veloso wants to be your bff.
The legendary musician has a long history of boosting new talent. Back in 1980, Veloso was so taken with Rio de Janeiro singer-songwriter Marina Lima that he wrote this sultry number for her, and went on to record it as a duet for her sophomore album; the result was a huge hit that catapulted her from up-and-comer to national star status.
And that was only the beginning. While some of his contemporaries ignored or dissed the more rock-oriented generation of Brazilian musicians that came in their wake, Veloso embraced it. Whenever he admired new talent, Veloso would gush about them in the media, cover them, name-drop them in his own material, duet or collaborate with them; beneficiaries of the “Veloso boost” in the 80s and 90s included the multi-talented Djavan, blues-rocker Cazuza, avant-gardists Arrigo Barnabé and Arnaldo Antunes, and the honorary Brazilian Arto Lindsay.
And Veloso is still at it as his career enters its sixth decade. Over the past few years he has collaborated with rising artists including singer-songwriter Maria Gadú and rapper Criolo.
Now Veloso is helping introduce Teresa Cristina to the world with a short international tour. With more than 10 albums under her belt at the age of 48, Cristina isn’t exactly what you’d call a newcomer, but she’s gained a lot of visibility since releasing Teresa Cristina Canta Cartola earlier this year. Recorded live with no accompaniment other than acoustic guitar, the album is a remarkable re-reading of the legendary sambista Cartola’s songbook. Remarkably controlled yet imbued with emotion, Cristina’s crisp phrasing breathes new life into chestnuts such as “As Rosas Não Falam” and “O Mundo É um Moinho”.
Nonesuch Records, which released everything Veloso recorded since the late 80s internationally, recently picked up Teresa Cristina Canta Cartola, which set the stage for the “Caetano Apresenta Teresa” (“Caetano Presents Teresa”) tour. Veloso, who was present at Theatro Net Rio when the album was recorded, said in a Nonesuch release:
“With Cartola’s songs, Teresa’s artistry really shows. Her elegance on stage, the simultaneous spontaneity and decorum of every gesture, the humor, the tone, impeccable intonation—all combine in this true creator-singer, a genuine artist.”
Veloso also applauded Carlinhos Sete Cordas’ performance, saying that he “plays with such a richness—he has all the history of bossa nova and root samba … All Brazilians should see and listen to what happened at Theatro Net Rio that night.”
Check out the next U.S. dates on the tour:

-Kanye West has been talking about wanting to be out of his Adidas Yeezy contract for months now. Seeing that he was dropped by Adidas may seem like a negative to the naked eye, but there is much more complex moves at play here. Having the Yeezy brand name will serve Kanye (YE) greatly in the future as he can now manufacture his apparel and shoes independently.
- Kanye Tweeted "In the morning im going Defcon 3 on Jews"
- Got slammed online about it
- Brands dropped him
- Wore White Lives Matter Shirt W/Candace Owens
- Went on Piers morgan, Drink Champs, Tucker Carlson, Lex Friedman
- Sketchers has kicked Ye out of their headquarters, all his brands have dropped him. Now it seems as though Kanye may be taking the time to reflect and process his latest actions.
Adidas took the longest to drop Ye due to the massive success of Yeezy's but after Kanye not apologizing publically, even though given many chances to, they finally decided to pull the trigger and let Kanye Free.
This situation leaves many fans wondering what the future of Yeezy will look like as a brand. Shoes have skyrocketed in prices on Stock X after Adidas announced the dissolution of contracts.

Once when Madonna was asked about working with Herb Ritts, she called him a “real geek”. It was her first impression of an artist whom she met on the set of Desperately Seeking Susan, a comedy-drama film released in 1985. But, as later turned out, the “real geek” had something of a pure genius in the way he worked and approached people. Herb Ritts, a fashion photographer who has already become a legend on his own, is now at the center of attention at Maison européenne de la photographie in Paris, which holds a retrospective of his most notable works.
Herb was born in 1952 in Los Angeles, in a family of a businessman and an interior designer. Consequently, the photographer studied economics and art history in New York and took his first steps in the professional world working for his parents. But Herb was never destined to be a small cog in the pragmatical business machine. Herb Ritts that we know is an exceptional artist who devoted his life for creating miracle-worthy compositions where a human body, standing still as a Greek god or immersed in a movement, which even more emphasizes its divine qualities, plays the leading role. His photos are fuss-free, characterized by fearlessness, acute contrasts of black/white and impeccable aesthetics.
The only texture Herb was interested in was that of a human body. He searched to portray the way the body finds harmony with nature and various its forms (sun, sand, water), and, of course, with clothes: perfectly trained and muscled figures possess ferocious qualities of savage animals, but these are also the same bodies who can embrace the softest of the fabrics, looking fragile and monumental at the same time. Calm and vast landscapes, such as deserts or picturesque beaches are used as a backdrop for the personages in order to create a sentiment of grandeur.
Herb’s photographs are undeniably glamorous, but they are never vain. This could be one of the reasons why the celebrities enjoyed his company and were never afraid to unveil their most unexpected features: Nicole Kidman is provocatively sensual, but also possesses an aura of mysticality, Madonna is unashamedly audacious, Jack Nicholson is playfully wicked. Richard Gere posing by the car just with the right amount of machismo is an emblematic figure of Herb Ritt’s works. It was one of his first pictures, after all, which assured his newly acquired photographer status. Back in the time, Richard was only an aspiring actor, dreaming of international success and he was also incredibly shy, reluctant to pose for Herb (who could have believed?). Thanks to Richard’s publicist, the picture later found its way to fashion magazines (Vogue, Esquire and others). Herb didn’t even consider himself as a photographer when offers to take pictures of famous people began flowing. Of course, salesman-turned-photographer didn’t decline them. But it was probably the famous photograph of Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz and Naomi Campbell which placed Herb in the fashion history. There is literally nothing in this meticulously arranged minimalistic photograph but these five extraordinary women, belonging to the times famously referred to as the supermodels’ era, looking at posing attentively.
Herb created modern mythology from people who embody the spirit of the late XXth century: Michael Jackson, Helmut Newton, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Sylvester Stallone, Julia Roberts, Antonio Banderas. He managed to produce unique photographs of celebrities, who were being photographed everyday and whose faces were the most recognizable on the whole planet. Photography aside, Herb Ritts also directed music videos. “Wicked game” by Chris Isaak is probably one of the most spectacular examples, which shows how Herb’s sensuality could be translated to another medium.
