J C Lodge's Uprising
Last Friday, JC Lodge clocked her third straight week at number one on the South Florida Reggae Chart with Love Uprising. The London-based singer is looking for similar success in Jamaica, where her career took off in the early 1980s. Love Uprising is produced by My MM Productions, a company manned by Wayne Armond and Orville Marshall. The single is part of their Positive Transfusion compilation album, released in 2022. "We're currently working on duplicating my US impact in Jamaica, because this is the birthplace of my career, and where all my prior successes were spawned. I would love the approval and endorsement of my fellow Jamaicans once again," Lodge told the Jamaica Observer. Love Uprising is her second chart-topper in South Florida. Over, produced by Lion Face Records, was the first in 2021. Lodge says she has released many songs in recent years, but believes the unpredictability of the music business stalled their potential. "Despite consistently having releases through the years, several of them have slipped by, unnoticed, due to the difficulties many of my producers have faced in garnering attention or support for their product," she said. "At any stage of their career an artiste needs to feel appreciation for their work, but perhaps it is even more meaningful when you've dedicated 42 years of your life to something and you're still at it." Lodge was born in the United Kingdom to a Jamaican father and British mother. She spent some of her formative years in Kingston, where her recording career began. In 1980 she soared to number one on multiple reggae charts in Jamaica, the US, and Europe with a cover of Charlie Pride's Someone Loves You Honey. It was followed by other well-received singles like Love You More Than I Can Say, Make it up With You and Telephone Love. In the early 1990s, she was briefly signed to American company Tommy Boy Records, for which she recorded the album, Tropic of Love.

Steven Seagal has a new show on A&E called “Steven Seagal: Lawman,” which documents his activities as a sheriff in Jefferson Parish, LA. In a story for today’s New York Post, Seagal told me about the time he has spent over the past 20 years quietly helping fight crime in Jefferson Parish, avoiding the cameras while simply doing one of the many non-acting activites he enjoys.

After we talked about his efforts to rescue people during Katrina – efforts not, by his own desire, really covered in the press – he talked about celebs (not by name, unfortunately) who did find their way there to help, seemingly with make-up people and publicists in tow.
I don’t wanna talk about other celebrities, but there have been some other people who came down there and pretended to do something for New Orleans in a time of trouble, and after they made a phony appearance for five minutes, the next night they’re on Larry King talking about what they did. It shouldn’t be like that. You shouldn’t be talking about what you did to anybody. You gotta be out there doing it every day.
Any guesses as to who he’s talking about? Leave ‘em below.

In the meantime, enjoy this sketch from SNL about celebrities “helping” in the aftermath of Katrina.


Nick Aldis is a professional wrestler, actor, magazine columnist and gladiator. After starting his professional wrestling career at 18 in his home county of Norfolk, England, his first major rise to public recognition came as 'Oblivion', the trash-talking star of 'Gladiators' on Sky 1. His reputation for athleticism and charsima caught the eye of TNA Wrestling, and in September 2008, he signed with the organisation and now appears weekly on their shows 'Impact Wrestling' and 'Xplosion', which air on Spike TV in the US as well as Challenge in the UK and in 120 countries worldwide, which made Nick the star of multiple television shows at just 21 years of age.
In April 2009, Nick formed 'The British Invasion' with fellow Brit Doug Williams, and in October 2009, the duo captured the World Tag Team Championships in Orange County, California on pay-per-view. Nick's TNA career takes him all over the world, making him an example to all young British Wrestlers.
Nick has a very popular monthly column entitled 'Total Nonstop Aldis' in FSM - the UK's no.1 pro wrestling and mma monthly magazine.
Nick's first acting role came as 'The Judge' in The Thunderdome Games, a no-nonsense leader of a rebel motorcycle gang. Last year, he appeared in Pantomime as 'Igor' in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves at Norwich Theatre Royal.
