A new tragedy has engulfed the world of sport. Los Angeles Lakers superstar and legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Maria has died today in a helicopter crash. Bryant was traveling with eight other people who also lost their lives in this tragic accident. It has been confirmed by authorities that the wife of the former player, Vannessa Bryant, was not on board the aircraft.
The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed the death of five people during the accident in the city of Calabasas in Los Angeles, California. None of the crew members of the helicopter survived, in this tragic accident that took prematurely one of the best basketball players of all time.
The incident took place during the morning of Sunday, January 26th. The police forces have asked the public to avoid approaching or passing through the area where the fatal accident occurred.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was notified at 10:01 a.m. – California local time – of the fall of a helicopter. Upon verification, the news spread like wildfire on social networks.
Firefighters put out the intense fire, but without the possibility of rescuing any survivors. The news portal TMZ has confirmed that an investigation of what happened is underway, and they also point out that it was common for Kobe Bryant to move from one place to another in his own helicopter. There is speculation that one of the possible causes of the deadly accident was the thick fog at the crash scene.
Kobe Bryant: Goodbye to a legend
Kobe Bryant was born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia. His career in the NBA began in 1996 when he was chosen in that year’s draft by the Charlotte Hornets. From there he was transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers where he finished his career with five championships to his name, thus becoming one of the unforgettable glories of the United States basketball.
Twenty seasons he played the legendary shooting guard in the Californian franchise. In addition to those five NBA titles, he also won two MVP awards from the finals of the best league in the world and another MVP award from the general championship in 2008. In 2016, he decided to hang up his boots and the Lakers retired their numbers: 8 and 24. It was precisely in this year 2020 when Kobe Bryant was going to enter the NBA Hall of Fame and, although this inscription could not be carried out with his presence, it is certain that his entry into the Hall of Fame – more than well assured – will be done posthumously.
Rest in Peace Kobe and Gianna and strength for their loved ones.

Sexy News Anchors
Although this section first dealt with Paula Zahn and a short lived sexy promotional clip on CNN,* since that letter was published here, TV news has moved even more in the direction of "sexy news anchors."
Possibly the new high water mark is now (maybe temporarily) represented by Loren Jones, the stunning, blond, actress, bikini model with "zero experience in journalism," who has been hired as an anchorwoman at KYTX, Channel 19, in Tyler, Texas.** The Fox network has even made her transition into broadcast news into a reality show.
In Jones' defense she is reportedly working hard to come up to speed at her new job (without giving up her acting and modeling) and she states that being an anchorwoman has been a life-long dream.
Even so, we clearly have another case of beauty instantly trumping solid credentials in broadcast news.
* Paula Zahn was dropped from CNN in August of 2007.
** Loren Jones was dropped from the Texas station after one month, reportedly because of low ratings. However, she has gotten offers from other TV stations.

The Beautiful Fanning sisters are charming, youthful, innocent, exceptionally talented, mature, and stylish. And they're both under the age of 18. But move over, Dakota, and make way for your little sis!
Little Elle Fanning has slowly made her way into the limelight and has recently stepped out into the fashion industry, making waves as she has been dubbed quite possibly the most fashionable 13-year-old ever.
Now, I remember my love for fashion began to manifest itself around that age. Maybe even 11 or 12. That's when I started really noticing clothes, putting things together, learning about designers, flipping through runway photos and religiously reading all the magazines monthly. At that age I started to develop my personal style and taste and truly understanding the meaning behind fashion.
It all started in 2007, when Marc chose Dakota as the face of his ads in 2007 at the tender age of 12. in his Marc by Marc Campaigns; a bit of a controversial move because of her tender age. The idea of a sweet, innocent child actress selling high fashion in the glossy pages of magazines was a bit questionable.
COUTURE before she even hit her teenage years.
This advertisement ploy nodded back to Calvin Klien's 1995 headline-making ads featuring a scantily clad Brooke Shields, 15, saying "nothing comes between me and my calvins." Surprisingly enough, Dakota recently stated that being the little twelve year old she was, she was not old enough to wear the clothes.
Now Elle, thirteen, is following in her sisters footsteps with a growing acting career, and has also has made her way into the fashion industry, charming Kate and Laura Mcculeavy of Rodarte, who have officially made Elle their muse. Elle starred in a short film by Rodarte for S/S 2011, featuring their Spring collection that told a story without any dialogue. (View it HERE)
And of course Jacob couldn't resist but to use the stunning blonde thirteen year old for his F/W Marc by Marc Campaign. These ads were controversial as well, displaying Elle in sophisticated, expensive ensembles that were a far cry from middle school.
It's no question that Elle is both the fashion industry and Hollywood's new little princess. Besides gracing the cover of W with her big sis, Elle is on the February cover of Teen VOGUE and high fashion UK magazine LOVE.
I'm a huge Fanning fan, always have been, always will be. This dynamic duo isn't going anywhere soon. In fact, Dakota is just turning 18 next month, meaning a whole new line of work for her and an entirely new stage in her career.
Gracing the February cover of Cosmopolitan, Dakota is making headlines for this new version of her on a magazine that is, well, all about SEX ;)
I was shocked today to see that they would chose Dakota, but in a way it makes sense. Of course the public is going to react in awe and dislike for this new image, but we must face the facts. Hollywood's little princess is growing up and as she (appropriately) turns 18 next month, it's about time we take Dakota by the hand and welcome her to the world of womanhood. "Welcome to your Cosmo years, Dakota." Cheers!


chode-a-la-mode asked: jesus christ people givin you shit about avril lavigne as if she's some icon worth defending. also nothing about her is unique or breaks the mold so it's not "anarchy" to call her out on her shitty music and shittier video
Thank you thank you thank you I love you, friend. Since when is she worth defending? Everyone stopped giving a shit about her for a while now hahaha.
And honestly, some of these people need to listen to some real Jpop/Jrock before giving me shit about something I adore.


After starring in the blockbuster TWILIGHT, Kristen Stewart continues to make good role choices that proves she’s has acting chops. In CAMP X-RAY Ms. Stewart plays an Army MP at Guantanamo Bay. She befriends Ali, played marvelously by Payman Maadi (best known for his performance in Farhadi’s A SEPARATION), who has been imprisoned there for eight years. Their relationship effectively demonstrates reasons for imprisoning detainees are not as black and white as the U.S. Government wants us to believe. Where the film scores high marks in revealing the darker underbelly of the military lifestyle.


“Glory” from “Selma” won Best Original Song at the 2015 Oscars on Sunday night, beating out “Everything is Awesome” from “The Lego Movie,” “Grateful” from “Beyond The Lights,” “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from “Glen Campbell… I’ll Be Me” and “Lost Stars” from “Begin Again.”
AHHHHHHHH THIS SPEECH SHOULD BE SHOWN IN SCHOOLS OMFGGGGGG
there can be only one
The fact that Beyoncé knows Michelle is too far over and corrects the line up while strutting her ass off just makes her everything.
Actually… when I look at it, I think Beyoncé is compensating for Kelly being too far over to the viewer’s left. Kelly’s got 5 soldiers to her left, and Michelle has 4 soldiers to her right. If Beyoncé moves to her left, then she’s gonna knock into Kelly, so there’s nowhere to go but towards Michelle. I think Kelly is the one that’s off this time.


Here’s Jazz, lead female vocalist and all round top lass.
With a bubbly personality and infectious laugh she brings a great deal to the group aside from her obvious vocal talents.
Growing up she loved appearing in dance shows and was also a keen member of York light opera society. Her first public appearance however was as a cheer leader for the York wasps rugby league club as a ‘waspette’.
Born and bred in York she has now returned to gods own county after some time in the wilderness (down south) but thankfully appears non the worse for the experience.
She recalls the first single that she bought was by Emma Benton and first gig was to see the winners of the reality ITV popstars programme although that could be just Hear'say!
Jazz has had a couple of celebrity encounters over the years serving Vic Reeves and James Nesbitt whilst working in Topshop circa 2008. Appearing on stage with Bernie Clifton and a rubber cat was memorable as was meeting one of her heroes Billy Bragg at the late lamented Galtres festival in 2013.
Not everything floats Jazz’s boat however, with the popularity of the Smiths being something of a mystery to her, much to her partners dismay!


Honestly, our hosts don't have a ton to say about Rick Springfield other than it turns out he's a much nicer guy than how he was portrayed in that episode of Californication. But since Rick was also an actor there are a ton of digressions into TV talk. Enjoy!

Madonna: Iconic, unpredictable, brilliant. Her newest album, Rebel Heart, is all of those things and much, much more. As the woman herself says about the album, “It explores two very distinct sides of my personality, the rebellious renegade side of me and the romantic side of me.” The tension of those two sides is clearly on display in each of the nineteen songs on the album. Some of them scream, “Rebel!”, some of them make you want to weep from the pure vulnerability of them, and others are so completely brilliant with lyrics that pack an existential punch that you walk away shaking her your head uttering, “Wow, just…wow.”
Just when you think you’ve got Madonna figured out, she comes out with album like this and you’re blown away once again. This is Madonna’s thirteenth studio album from a career that has spanned three decades. It features collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Nas, Chance the Rapper, and Mike Tyson and was recorded in New York, Los Angeles, and London. Rebel Heart was released on March 10th and is available on iTunes and wherever music is sold.
Earlier this month we were thrilled to offer our members the opportunity to receive a free download of Madonna’s new album Rebel Heart and share reviews on their blogs. The feedback, as you can expect, has been as distinctly sided as the music itself. With six songs marked as explicit (and that doesn’t even include “Devil Pray” which has multiple drug references but is actually a very well crafted song with inspiring lyrics), there was going to be some eye-brow raising. But those who loved it, really loved it!
“One thing you can definitely say about Madonna is she is never ever boring or predictable, Madonna brings fans more songs that will stand the test of time!! MAN I love this album!! The 56-year-old Madonna has a voice that sounds as perfect as the first time I heard ‘Like A Virgin’!! She also looks fantastic! I’m a whole lot jealous, being only 2 months older than Madonna!! The woman not only looks amazing, but moves like a 20-year-old!! In my dreams I’ve never been able to move like she does! I love each and every song on this album!! … Madonna proves once again why she is the QUEEN of Pop!! Two thumbs WAY, WAY, WAY UP for Rebel Heart!!” Connie – Peanut Butter and Whine
“The thing that I always admired and related to about Madonna and her music is the way she portrayed such toughness and tenderness. She’s both I don’t need anyone ever and all I ever want is someone to love me. She has always straddled the hate/love, strong/vulnerable in life in a way that I completely relate to. She does it again beautifully in Rebel Heart. In fact, it may be her best musical example of being a bad ass and being vulnerable, and how it’s okay and beautiful to be both.” Angela – Jumping With My Fingers Crossed
“This is Madonna’s thirteenth studio album … and she’s collaborated with so many other great artists on this new record. From track one on, this album had me hook, line, and sinker. It’s classic Madonna, evolving with the times. There is something for everyone on here, I think. It has your dance tunes, something I’ve always lived for from Madonna. It’s also got some things that really drop that bass, a reggae inspired tune, slower ballad like tunes.” Vonnie – Petite Feet. Feminine Step.
“Let me get right to the point and say it – I loved Rebel Heart! That is not the same thing as saying I loved every song (because I didn’t) but as a whole it was a wonderfully produced album, with strong Madonna vocals, great beats, a variety of tempos, and wonderful lyrics. The entire album is over an hour long – not one of those skimpy records without substance. If you’re a fan of any past Madonna music, there are definitely songs on this album that you’re going to love.” Jennifer – The Savings Opportunity
“I was surprised by this album in the very best way. There were times I wanted to say, “Act your age, Madonna! You’re old enough to be my mother!” But “bitch, she’s Madonna.” She’s still got it. Madonna gets away with lyrics that others have tried before and failed to bring with a power only Madonna holds. How can you possibly compare to a woman who has been in the business of musical shock and awe for over 30 years (damn, I’m old)? Who else can get away with using her name in a song (“Bitch, I’m Madonna”) and make it sound like a win? … This album proves that Madonna’s still a “rebel,” but gives a lot of “heart” in her music. She’s made sex an art form and, like any good woman, remains on top – of her game. Madonna’s tearing down her haters, still having fun with the boys, getting heartfelt and gritty in a way only she can and reminding me why I still love her. Madonna proves she’s still the reigning Queen of Pop and rightfully so.” Jessica – Living La Vida Holoka
The first track on the album is also the first single released, “Living For Love”. Classically Madonna and the perfect introduction to the themes of the album, it’s about being let down in love but never, ever giving up.
But it’s the title track, “Rebel Heart”, that sums everything up: Where’s she been, where she is now, and where she’s going. Appropriately placed at the very end of the album, “Rebel Heart” provides a mantra we can all claim, “I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
Outgrown my past and I’ve shed my skin
Letting it go and I’ll start again, start again
Never look back, it’s a waste of time
I said: “Oh yeah, this is me
And I’m right here where I wanna be.”
I said: “Hell yeah! This is me
Right where I’m supposed to be“
Bravo, Madonna! BRAVO!!

Born 1979 in Philadelphia with a size of 5 ft. 2 in Kevin Hart may not be tall – but he sure as hell had bigger dreams than being a salesman for shoes.

Periodically on this blog, we go through the lives of famous extra fat folks of the past simply for fun. Up to now we’ve viewed Sophie Tucker and Marie Dressler. Today we are talking about Jane Darwell. Fats people are underrepresented in Hollywood greatly, and even though they actually have a good role, positive portrayals seem few and between far.
It’s beneficial to remember that there already have been quite a few fat folk who have quietly got real accomplishments even if they often get overlooked. Jane Darwell was an actress whose career spanned the stage, silent movies, and talkies, and who received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She was created Patti Woodard to a well-off family in Missouri in 1879. Her father was president of the railroad company. She was bit by the performing bug and flirted with the options of circus rider and opera vocalist before deciding to be an actress. Within an era when acting was considered a disreputable occupation for ladies, she chose to change her name to “Darwell” so she wouldn’t embarrass her family.
She started her profession in stage productions in Chicago, appeared in her first film in 1913 in her middle-30s then. After working in films for a while, she visited the stage for 15 years back again. In 1930, she returned to films with “Tom Sawyer,” and got an active profession on both film and stage thereafter.

The best roles of her profession were as an older actress. Because she was seen as “short, stout, and basic,” she played character parts always, usually the grandmother, the housekeeper, etc. She made an appearance in five Shirley Temple movies in those types of character types. Here she is up to now another maid on the group of “Craig’s Wife,” looking at a script with Rosalind Russell.
Most often, though, she played the mother of one of the main characters. She was viewed as the quintessential mother figure, ironic since she had children herself never. In “Gone with the Wind,” she played Mrs. Dolly Merriwether, a Southern matron and society gossip. On this role, she was noted for having a booming vocal and physical presence on screen. Hollywood. She wore trousers, rode astride, and was a take-charge woman in a sexist frontier town in this old Western about the moral dilemma of capital consequence.
However, it was her role as Ma Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath” (1940) that received Darwell the most acclaim. Her quiet power in keeping her family despite the tests of the fantastic Unhappiness together, the Dust Bowl, losing the family farm, and the hard life of migrant plantation work was the heart of the film in lots of ways. Among her most effective scenes was of Ma Joad silently going right through her things in her house as the family is about to leave it permanently.
She talks about her mementos, saying farewell mentally, burning most of them because she knows they have no place in her new life. She holds a set of nice earrings up to her ears one final time, remembering better times but realizing she’ll never wear them again. Mournfully but resolutely, she leaves them behind. The director, John Ford, doesn’t rush the scene or clutter it up with dialogue.


Today is 40th anniversary of legend John Lennon’s tragic death. John Winston Ono Lennon was and still is a true legend for many people. One who fought for peace and human beings. He brought joy, happiness, feelings, and hope to many people by his music.
Many of us first thought about humanity when we first heard his popular and amazing song, Imagine.
If he wasn’t dead, he would be 80 years old today. Sadly, he only lived for 40 years but his legacy surely will live lot more than that. Today, after 40 years of his death, people still gather in front of Dakota apartment building in New York and that’s a simple example of how great of a human being he was.
We may can’t go to his concerts or visit him, but what we can do is to continue his way and fight to his dreams which was a united world, with no borders, and human beings living together with peace, joy, equality, equity, and justice.

The new single “Down” is dedicated to her new hometown, for the love and hate relationship with this great city. “New York takes you up and down, it’s like a constant roller-coaster, but you never wanna give up the ride. That’s the energy I fell in love with when I first visited the city a long time ago,” said Eeppi prior to the launch of the song.

Oprah on the cover of every single issue of O Magazine. Always looking pretty fine. Always. (I’m jes sayin.)
And then, I couldn’t help but notice, and love, O Girl, O Beautiful. The Revolution. Yeah! BRING it. It IS time for:
girls around the globe to realize how beautiful they really are… inside and out!
Only, you know what? I changed my mind. I’m NOT jes sayin’, I’m ASKING. POINT BLANK. Oprah, show us your before & afters.
Because, you have this big thing going on about girls’ self-esteem and self-love, and making the world a better place for them. And now I REALLY just want to know. Could you/would you on the cover? Are those images, or are they photos? Have you routinely been photoshopped within inches of your life? AND if you have in the past, would you take a stand against this and stop?
UPDATE: Penelope Trunk recalls seeing an issue of O Magazine “where [Oprah] devoted an issue of her magazine to talking about her befores and afters and showing them, and showing the process she goes through to look like that on the cover. She specifically did it because she said she didn’t want people to thinks he actually looks that good in real life.”
There is a back issue of O Magazine where Oprah shows start-to finish what goes on to make the glamorous cover shots the public sees. Anyone know which one and if it is online? We found these links at the O Magazine website, but they don’t give us much.
In the meanwhile, we actually missed this somewhat related rant on Jezebel last week RE: Oprah in 1998 on Vogue cover
Frankly, I’m still concerned about the message it sends to women. Oprah has a tremendous opportunity here to change something in media for real and for the better… So why not?

Haynza is an artist based in Brisbane, Australia who loves to sing and make music. While an easy classification of his music would be Pop, Haynza’s unique and ever-evolving sound echo characteristics of various other genres such as Alternative , R&B and Hip-Hop. He has been singing for as long as he can remember and has been writing and producing his own songs since his early teenage years.
In 2018, he made the decision to take his Christian faith more seriously, which birthed his debut album The Fall To Grace, a 10-track project that came out in early 2019. He has since released multiple singles, his most recent being lose myself to find You. With faith at the core of his artistry, Haynza explores themes relating to the good, bad and ugly realities of the human experience with his music to remind others that they are not alone or without hope.
He is set to release his second album later this year.

She, however, told show host Nana Kwame Gyan on Accra 100.5FM’s weekend entertainment show, Entertainment Capital on Saturday, October 3, 2020 that she does not drink alcohol.
can’t endorse alcoholic beverages,” adding that: “If I were a secular artiste, I would endorse alcoholic beverages.”
Explaining her stance, the ‘Obi Nyane Me’ singer said that the celebrity endorsements are business ventures for the beneficiaries.
“Many people were complaining about the FDA law that bans celebrities from endorsing alcoholic beverages but you see, the endorsements bring money,” she further stated.
In January 2020, Afropop singer Wendy Shay lost a deal with an alcoholic beverage company because the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) placed a ban on the endorsement of alcoholic beverages by celebrities. This sparked the outrage of other celebrities, calling for an amendment of the law.
“I just lost a deal worth 1000s‘ of dollars with this foreign alcohol company..I didn’t know in GH, clebrities can’t advertise for alcoholic beverages according to FDA
Small food we go chop too u wan take 4rm our mouth
Gh celebs wake up !!FDA Lift dat ban!!,” she lamented earlier this year.
Just recently, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rufftown Records, Bullet threatened to move his record label to Nigeria because Ghana’s Gaming Commission prevents celebrities from endorsing betting companies.
“In a year or two, there will be no record labels in Gh due to stringent/ heart-wrenching laws made by people occupying higher positions to collapse the creative arts/
1st it was FDA, and now Gaming commission,I am moving Rufftown to Nigeria , if the gov’t doesn’t change these laws,” Bullet threatened on September 30.
Wendy Shay, who is signed on to Rufftown Records, has recently been engaged with Bet Planet, one of the betting companies in Ghana.

National Apprenticeship Week 2020 #NAW2020 #LookBeyond
As part of our effort to inspire young people looking to become an Apprentice and as part of National Apprenticeship Week, Capital 4 Training would like to go over some famous former apprentices that you’ve probably heard of, but you might not know that they were apprentices themselves back in their youth. It just goes to show, Apprenticeships can unlock many pathways for you in life.
Sir Ian McKellen
We all know who Sir Ian McKellen is, he’s played many roles in his career but you could argue he’s most well known for his role as ‘Gandalf’ in the Lord of The Rings films – but did you know that this now renown actor didn’t go to drama school like you’d think. He actually spent three years as an Apprentice Actor at Belgrade Theatre in Coventry.
One of the leading women in fashion, specialising in Coats, Tailoring and Evening-wear Karen Miller was once a Fashion Apprentice at Medway College where she learnt important skills to take her on to be one of the most recognisable names in women’s fashion.
One of the worlds most well-known chefs Jamie Oliver started his journey as an Apprentice Caterer, learning new and valuable skills that would help him to become the successful chef that he is today.
Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson had a very different start to his journey. He started as an Apprentice Tool Worker – obviously a big difference to what he’s more well known for these days. However the interpersonal skills he learnt as an Apprentice have surely helped him in his career.
Elvis, the king of Rock and Roll. Before pursuing his successful career in music, Elvis was actually studying to become an Apprentice electrician.
We hope these famous former apprentices mentioned inspire you to think about embarking on an Apprenticeship.
Join us tomorrow as we discuss some tips when you apply to an apprenticeship and how to successfully sell yourself to employers looking to hire a fresh faced apprentice.

The patients were the celebrities when Children’s Hospital Colorado, the Ryan Seacrest Foundation and the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation celebrated the late June opening of a new, state-of-the-art multi-media broadcasting studio at the Children’s Hospital in Aurora.
Patients walked or were assisted down a red carpet to get to the hospital atrium, where they could watch the curtains part on the glass-walled Seacrest Studio on the east side. Seacrest and his family attended the event, and when the speeches ended, he took to the studio’s microphone to interview celebrities who attended at his request: members of the group Lady Antebellum. Others on hand for the event were musical duo MKTO, Disney star Stefanie Scott and former Rockies first baseman Todd Helton.
Seacrest told the crowd that he had asked Lady Antebellum to attend the event at the finale of “American Idol,” and it “took half a second” for them to accept.
The 1,000-sq-ft studio is the seventh one funded by Seacrest’s foundation, with the intent that patients and families “will benefit from the studio’s interactive nature and find a creative outlet and healing opportunity during their stay,” according to the foundation.
The studio is home to a new closed-circuit television channel called BBoy 45 (BBoy for Balloon Boy), where patients at the Aurora Fitzsimons medical campus, the CHC North Campus, and CHC South Campus can view and respond to the studio’s programming.
During the opening event, BBoy 45 was tied to the channel at the Seacrest Studio at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Eventually, said Children’s CEO Jim Shmerling, all the studios’ channels will be linked together to share programming. He said that after he visited the studio in Atlanta and learned from a patient and her mother how much access to the studio had helped them, he wanted one for CHC. The next studio to come on line will be in Boston.
The studio was designed by FKP Architects in Dallas, with H+L Architecture of Denver serving as architect-of-record, and built by GH Phipps Construction Cos., Greenwood Village.


In the 1970s Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) inspired a generation with his songs on anti-materialism, finding self and peace in such classic albums as Tea for the Tillerman (1970, US 3X platinum) and Teaser and the Firecat (1971, US 3X platinum). In December 1977 he converted to Islam, gave up popular music and focussed on humanitarian and educational work, until he returned to popular music in 2006. Meanwhile, Muslims became associated in the West as intolerant and violent. Yusuf has emerged in the last decade as a voice for progressive Muslims. This article explores the continuities in his music from his Cat Stevens days to his comeback and how he has reconciled popular music and his Cat Stevens past with his understanding Islam. The focus is on his anti-war and pro-peace songs. It argues that his earlier songs are similar in their messages of world peace through love and unity, though less dark than his post-2006 songs. Additionally, his recent songs have a new message that the world must be more inclusive to achieve world peace. This is connected to him being a Muslin in the West and his feeling of exclusion, in an age when many in the West portray all Muslims as extremists. Consequently, in his recent music he reflects his experience as a Muslim, in the same way as his earlier music reflected the counter-culture of that period. Thus he has gone jback to his earlier self after adopting a progressive understanding of Islam. Not Started Completed Rejected.

If you do not have a Netflix subscription, this may be a good reason to get one, immediately. Netflix’s Bridgerton has captured tv screens across the world and continues to do so. It has garnered much praise since its release, and according to Variety, became the fifth-largest Netflix original series launch of all time. The show, based on the novel by Julia Quinn, premiered its first season on December 25th, focusing on eldest Bridgerton sister Daphne, and her search for love. It has already been picked up for a second season, which fans can expect to highlight a different sibling.
Jeffree star and Kanye west
Well, 2021 definitely came in hot with Kanye West at the forefront of all this heat. It all started when a young TikTok user, Ava Louise, decided to stir up some drama on the app and beyond. Louise posted a video claiming that Kanye West was cheating on Kim Kardashian West with a male beauty guru. Ever so quickly, people decided that this guru had to be Jeffree Starr and it was not long before many Instagram accounts began spreading around the video, with the rumor eventually making its way to Twitter, where users ruthlessly dished out meme after meme. Starr seemed to be taking the allegations lightly as he also tweeted, “ I’m ready for Sunday Service,” a jab at the rapper’s grand church services. Although they never addressed the rumors, Vulture reports that the famous couple will be getting a divorce. It is unknown whether these rumors are the blame or not.
Sex and the city reboot rebeef
Yes, it is happening. It was confirmed last Sunday that a spinoff of the hit HBO series is in the works. Three leads Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis took to Instagrams to announce the reboot to followers and fans. Elle magazine reports HBO’s confirmation of 10 episodes, all 30 minutes long. The spinoff will feature all but one of the four leads, Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall. Although not yet confirmed, there has been much speculation that Cattrall’s absence stems from previously existing tensions between herself and Parker. Fans took to Twitter and Instagram to discuss Catrall’s decision, prompting Parker’s response to one comment about their strained relationship. She denied the claim made by the fan saying that she disliked Catrall and proceeded to add that she would “always be a part of us.” There is no release date yet but production is set to begin in the spring.
Zendaya takes on new role
It is no question that there is little that Zendaya Coleman cannot do. Many have watched the young star’s take off since her Shake it Up days, and she continues to dominate Hollywood. This year audiences will see Coleman take on her most grown-up role, literally. She will star, alongside John David Washington, in the new Netflix film, Malcolm and Marie. This will be the first role where the Euphoria Star will not be playing a teenager. Fans are excited to finally see her play an adult, as Zendaya who is 24, is often cast in high school actions and dramas. The movie is shot entirely in black and white and according to PhillyVoice, was filmed entirely during the pandemic. It sees tensions rising in the relationship of a filmmaker and his girlfriend as they await his film’s reviews. Malcolm and Marie is set to premiere on February 5th on Netflix.


Two-time Grammy winner Jason Mraz’s pre-show rituals include drinking mint tea with Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa in it
To help with his singing, American singer- songwriter Jason Mraz, 37, turns to a remedy familiar to many Singaporeans – a bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa.
Describing his pre-show rituals, the two-time Grammy winner says: “I always eat a healthy meal. Then I warm up my body with a short yoga routine and I warm up my voice with music – I sing.
“I make myself a strong cup of mint tea with a very delicious syrup in it – it’s called Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa.”
He will have no problems stocking up on the Chinese herbal syrup when he comes to Singapore to perform at The Star Theatre on Nov 17 and 18.
These may be among his last shows. In recent interviews, he has announced that he wants to retire before turning 40. “Nothing will make me change my mind. I’m looking forward to it,” he says of his plans to bow out of the music industry and focus on tending his farm in California and doing charity work.
The two gigs in Singapore come 2½ years after his last performance here at Gardens by the Bay.
While that show was a full-on concert – and part of the garden’s opening celebrations – his new shows will see him go acoustic for a more intimate feel.
He adds: “This time I’m bringing with me Raining Jane – they are the collaborators in my new album, Yes!. And it’s their first time in Singapore so it’s a brand new show.”
Yes!, released in July, is Mraz’s fifth full-length release and his first acoustic album.
Since 2007, he has been working with the four women who make up folk-rock band Raining Jane, comprising Mai Bloomfield, Becky Gebhardt, Chaska Potter and Mona Tavakoli.
He describes the tunes on the album, which peaked at No. 2 in the Billboard charts, as “songs of hope”.
He says: “If I need help remembering forgiveness and if I need help remembering acceptance and compassion, then the songs that I am writing will help me remember that. They are going to be my mantras to remind me of these needs in life and in our humanity.”
Indeed, songs such as You Can Rely On Me (There’s so much you wanna try that you haven’t tried yet/Ooh, I’ve got your back through all of it, yes I do/ Yeah, you can rely on me, yes you can) and 3 Things (I go where I know the love is and let it fill me up inside/Gathering new strength from sorrow/I’m glad to be alive) convey optimism.
He adds: “The physical world can sometimes be full of conflict and I go more to a more peaceful world which is a lot more calm. Music is my spiritual practice and optimism helps us to calm ourselves from the conflict of the world, conflicts of the mind.”
Born and raised in Virginia, he started out singing in coffee houses in San Diego and released his major label debut album, Waiting For My Rocket To Come, in 2002.
He came into the limelight when a single from that album, The Remedy (I Won’t Worry) became popular and peaked at No. 15 in the Billboard charts.
All his subsequent albums have made the top five on Billboard and contain hit singles such as I’m Yours from his 2008 album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. Another hit was I Won’t Give Up, from 2012’s Love Is a Four Letter Word.
At the 2010 Grammy Awards, he picked up two prizes – Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the single Make It Mine and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for Lucky, his duet with singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat.
A vegan, he is also well-known as an environmental advocate. In 2011, he set up the The Jason Mraz Foundation, which supports education, human equality and pro-environment charities.

Adriana Ferreyr was born in Salvador, Bahia-the country’s first colonial capital-in northeastern Brazil. At the age of 19 she became one of the most famous actresses in Brazil after appearing as a lead character on the prime time series Marisol.
Her acting career started in the theater at the age of eight when she joined the theater company of the late and widely respected Fernando Peltier. She acted in several plays, among which: O Jardim das Borboletas (The Butterfly Garden), O Jardim das Abelhas (The Bees Garden), Turma da Mônica (Monica and her pals) and The Sound of Music, including O Jardim das Abelhas (The Butterfly Garden), for which she won an award for best child actress. As a child in Brazil, she also appeared in numerous television commercials. Growing up, she underwent rigorous training in classical ballet. For years she studied with Louise Sandy at her ballet school in Salvador, and also with a Joffrey Ballet director at Ballet Dalal Achcar in Rio.
At the age of 15, she was an exchange student at Monroe-Woodbury High School in Central Valley, New York, where her coursework extended to advanced math, physics and Advanced Placement Physics (Electromagnetism). On Saturdays during that time, she took acting, dance and singing lessons at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. At the end of the program at 15, she was awarded a scholarship to attend Bard College at Simon’s Rock. She chose to return to Brazil, matriculating into law school at age 16 at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).

One day in 1997, while walking down the street in New York I happened to run into eccentric Canadian comedian Norm MacDonald, yet another one of Canada’s iconic comedians that became famous in the USA.
He was hilarious and super-friendly, and we walked and talked for a good ten blocks before he announced he was off to a taping show Late Night With David Letterman, since he was one of the featured guests that night. Then all of a sudden he stopped and asked me if I wanted to hang out backstage while he was on the show. So of course I said yes. We were having a friendly chat, two Canadian strangers, and then he invites me backstage at the biggest comedic talk show on the planet at that time, an opportunity that led to being backstage a second time a couple of weeks later, which led to me eventually meeting David Letterman himself.
Norm was innovative, often controversial, and great fun to converse with, so it is with a significant amount of pain I must announce that he died yesterday after a 9 year battle with cancer, which he kept hidden from both the public and his peers, so as not to be defined by his fight with the disease. I don’t truly know him, but in that amazing afternoon I spent with him I got to know a generous, deeply funny, and wonderfully offbeat Canadian legend.
As with artists like David Bowie or Prince, the passing of someone like Norm MacDonald is such a huge loss. Many artists are original, but people such as these are so unique, there will literally be no one even close to being like them to ever emerge again. Norm was extremely intelligent, and yet he played off of his own image as semi-naive and slightly baffled by the goings on around him. But at any moment his ferocious wit would emerge and you knew Norm had thought long and deeply about what he was saying. He was also an absolute master of uncomfortable pauses, moments of unusually long or short silences after which he would unleash some of his funniest lines in that eastern Canadian drawl of his.
he was also not one to show emotions like fear or sorrow on stage, save for moments like his last appearance on the Letterman show, a perfect set of comedy and a beautiful moment of love. R.I.P. Norm… undoubtedly you are in Heaven now making God roar with laughter…


It seems like MEGA STAR has finally had a hit with Godfather.

Nayanthara, Puri Jagannadh, Satyadev, Murali Sharma, Sunil, Brahmaji, Samuthirakani, and Tanya Ravichandran also appear in the Mohan Raja-directed movie. Analysts in the movie industry predict that the Chiranjeevi movie will make cash registers ring. Ram Charan, an actor and the son of Chiranjeevi, is funding God Father under the Konidela Production Company name in collaboration with Super Good Films.
In his character as a king-maker, Chiranjeevi exudes exquisite beauty. He looks great in the salt and pepper outfit. Without his customary substantial entertainment aspects (songs, dances, and humor) in this film, he has the aura to portray a dramatic character yet dazzle the audience. Chiru's outstanding performance carries the picture. The excellent cast supports him admirably.

KIM ANN FOXMAN
New York / USA
Hawaii born artist and DJ Kim Ann Foxman has had quite the career.

A rare specimen who is equally likely to be found playing to intimate audiences as to huge festival crowds, her record selection is distinctive from that of her peers.

Theo Tams is rediscovering his identity as an artist. With his recently released 4th ”Trilogy” EP, the Canadian singer/songwriter demonstrates a remarkable command of R&B-laced pop music, his silky tenor the unwavering guiding light. What is most in evidence since 2018’s Call the Doctor, is his fearlessness to cannonball right into fresh sonic waves. Songs like “Therapy,” “Jekyll Hyde Love” and Tongue Tied accentuate this cosmic personal shift. The music drowns the senses, oozing with intimate lyrics and style.
