The Grande Dame of Australian Folk Music
Judy Small is known for her feminist, and political songs, usually following a traditional theme. She produced twelve albums, hundreds of songs and has been described as being among the most popular political singers in Australia. She enjoys singing about real people and issues, stating "If an audience comes away thinking about issues it is a worthwhile performance".
Judy Small, now based in Melbourne was born in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. She moved to Sydney in 1972, studying psychology and began her career as a singer and songwriter in the late 1970s, inspired by the folk boom of the 1960s and describing her influences as such folk singers as Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary and The Seekers.
Apart from her own repertoire she is a renowned interpreter of song both traditional and contemporary.
After a successful performance at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival in 1982 she became a full-time singer-songwriter. Over the next the 16 years, she regularly toured throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand.
In 1990, she received the "Mo" Award - Mo Awards for Australian Folk Performer of the Year and in 1997 was the Port Fairy Folk Festival Artist of the Year. She was also invited to Beijing for the United Nations Women's Conference NGO Forum - UN in 1995, where she sang to thousands of women from all over the world.
People had been asking for some years for Judy Small to release an album recorded live, so they can hear her introductions and stories of her songs, which have become much a part of the show, as her actual concert performance, so a concert was recorded called "Live at the Artery" in her home town of Melbourne and subsequently was released as a double CD Collection set, spanning her 35-plus years of music.
Judy Small stopped performing full-time in 1998 when she became a family lawyer in Melbourne but continued to write new songs and to perform regularly at festivals around the world.
In March 2013, she was appointed as a Judge with the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, and retired fully from performing.
She was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2013 for her work as a songwriter and recording artist.
She retired from the Bench in April 2020.
In 2021, Judy decided that she would return to the stage and is enjoying singing for an audience again.
She married Charlotte Stockwell in Wanaka, New Zealand on 10 May 2014.
Judy was appointed Co-Chair of Midsumma in September 2019. Midsumma is one of the largest LGBTQ+ arts festivals in the world and is Victoria's second largest arts festival.
Judy Small's songs cover a wide range of topics and styles, especially social justice, equity and harmony with a particular emphasis on feminism and peace. Among the most popular are "Mothers, Daughters, Wives", "Women of Our Time", "One Voice in the Crowd" and "Global Village".

David Beckham, conceived David Robert Joseph Beckham, was brought into the world on May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, London, England. His folks were Ted Beckham, a kitchen fitter, and Sandra West, a stylist. His folks, huge fanatics of Manchester United, respectably the most famous football crew on the planet, may have had a considerable amount of effect on the gifted man during his initial years.
He went to Bobby Charlton’s football school in Manchester, where he won a spot in an instructional course at FC Barcelona when he was a kid. At 11 years old, he was Manchester United’s mascot for a match against West Ham United. He was skipper of the English public group from 2000 to 2006, and he played midfield for clubs in Manchester, England, and Madrid. Last year, he started to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy group, which started July 1 and is supposed to keep going for a very long time. ยูฟ่ารูเล็ต
While he was with Manchester United, he assisted them with winning the Premier League. He is hitched to Victoria Beckham, otherwise called Posh Spice (of the gathering, the Spice Girls), with whom he has had three children: Brooklyn Joseph (named after the city where Victoria discovered she was pregnant with him), who was brought into the world in 1999, Romeo James, who was brought into the world in 2002, and Cruz David (who was named to pay tribute to the family companion, Tom Cruise), who was brought into the world in 2005.
David Beckham isn’t only an esteemed football player; his name is likewise a tip top publicizing brand known everywhere. However his resume isn’t as long or as ritzy as some other renowned football players, he is as yet one of the most well known on the planet today.
As can be found in any notable competitor, David Beckham is a perfect representation of a good example for youngsters and youthful football players from one side of the planet to the other. Hopefully he can satisfy those norms.

Now, Goldie is another contributor to our podcast series who needs little introduction—another artist with whom almost any fan of underground electronic music, or even popular culture as a whole, will likely be familiar. As our 2013 feature said, the British DJ-producer is “a drum & bass icon who has done more than any other to put a face and a personality to a genre of music that grew out of chopping and grafting sped-up hip-hop, funk, and soul breaks.” He is, in ever sense, a musical pioneer who has revolutionized various sub-genres on more than one occasion—one of the first personalities in British dance music, and a living legend, if you’ll excuse me the cliché on this occasion.
Goldie, real name Clifford Joseph Price, made his name in the 1980s during which he made a living as a graffiti artist, earning commissions from local UK councils. He didn’t actually get into the rave scene until much later—not until he connected with Marc Mac and Dego of the Reinforced label with the help of ex-girlfriend DJ Kemistry. For much of 1992 and 1993 Reinforced was Goldie’s musical home: under his Rufige Kru alias, he released a string of EPs on the label before opening Metalheadz, his own imprint, through which he subsequently put out a number of classic drum & bass records by himself and a legion of other leading jungle artists.
And it was never going to stop there. Over the course of a distinguished career, Goldie has transcended musical culture: his acting credits include a role in 1999’s James Bond film “The World Is Not Enough”, Guy Ritchie’s “Snatch,” and the BBC soap opera “EastEnders,” in addition to a lengthy line of other television appearances. In 1996, the spotlight was on him once again after a relationship with Björk was called off following a well-documented engagement.
His musical gifts, however, remain far from questioned. Though not all releases have particularly well receoved—his 2008 material springs to mind—he has compiled a rich and lengthy discography to which only a limited few artists can parallel. The latest of these is set to land on June 16 via Metalheadz and Cooking Vinyl Records. Titled The Journey Man, the 16-tracker is the first Goldie LP in nearly nine years and was recorded over a three month period he spent in Asia last summer. Celebrating the release, and showing off just some of material that lies within, Goldie offered to compile this week’s XLR8R podcast.


Peter Campbell’s luxuriant bass voice has been winning praise for his appearances throughout the country. “[His] Raimondo (Lucia di Lammermoor) was a fully realized character sung with a magnificent bass-baritone voice that clearly threatens to become a gorgeous bass voice in the not-too-distant future” (J. Peter Bergman, The Independent). Moving easily from the drama of Donizetti to the comedy of Rossini, Mr. Campbell’s Don Basilio has been called “zany” and “a joy to watch … bringing acting and singing to a role that is too often merely a caricature of a man.” (Bergman, The Independent). He has appeared in operas and concerts throughout this country and abroad, singing roles as varied as Colline (La Bohème), Don Giovanni (Don Giovanni), and Méphistophélès (Faust) to Gianni Schicchi (Gianni Schicchi), Bartolo (Le nozze di Figaro), and Don Pasquale (Don Pasquale). He was apprenticed with The Sarasota Opera and Des Moines Metro Opera, where he sang the role of the Cappadocier in Strauss’s Salome and Charles Edward in Bernstein’s Candide.


For the first time in Brussels, Youssou NDour, icon of world music and one of Africa’s most beautiful voices performed ‘Le Grand Bal’ with his group Super Étoile of Dakar at the Palais 12, one of Brussel’s iconic concert halls.
A selection of up and coming Belgian personalities came together to open the event, which included Cécile Djunga (Belgian comedian), ‘the Voice’ star Lubiana as well as Sister Yaki.
Youssou NDour and the Super Étoile of Dakar performed for over two hours, offering the packed hall an abundance of colour, energy and keeping them on their feet until late into the night. The crowd was a mix of world music lovers and the Senegalese diaspora.
Phrenos managed to coordinate, communicate and implement the organization of the concert in less than 3 months, through a dedicated press and social media marketing campaign, whilst managing all ticket sales and the entire logistical set-up and operations.


For someone who has been rightly called “a legend, a crowd-puller, and a winner;” writing a piece becomes a job of great responsibility. I am talking about the Indian Hockey Hero, Keshav Chandra Dutt.
Born on 29th December 1925 in Lahore (now in Pakistan), Keshav Dutt was one of the finest hockey players in India. The maiden star of post-independence India bagged two Olympic gold medals at Wembley, London in 1948 and Helsinki, Finland in 1952, respectively. At the age of 26, when most of us are like wandering zombies when it comes to career choices; Dutt had already brought the grand Olympic pride to his nation. Between the two successive wins, he had moved to Kolkata, West Bengal, thus making the place his abode till his last breath!
A great player of his time, mentored by another very eminent personality, Dhyan Chand, also finds his mention as ‘one of the finest half-backs of that time,’ in the latter’s autobiography Goal. Dutt was also a part of the Dhyan Chand’s captained Indian team, which participated in a hockey tournament in East Africa in 1947. He had a unique relationship with his coach and co-player, Dhyan Chand, not only for a special mention in the latter’s written life history but also for being honored with the Dhyan Chand Lifetime Achievement award last year.
Dutt stood out in his club career as well. He joined the Mohun Bagan club in the year 1951. During his 10-year long association with Bagan, Dutt became a six-time winner of Calcutta Hockey League (CHL) and had a three-time success with Beighton Cup. He became the first non-footballer to have received the Mohun Bagan Ratna award in 2019. Not only a flourishing player, but he also turned to put up a charismatic persona for his audiences. A striking personality, magnanimously getting down from his Harley Davidson bike; used to fetch thousands of cheers from the spectators eagerly waiting for his entry. Yes! He carried a huge reputation those days.
Keshav Dutt met his death on 7th July 2021 in Santoshpur, Kolkata. May his soul find peace.
Dutt has had his share of disappointments; some during his blooming career and some that he probably carried to his grave (here is something that might hint at the same). Not purely with an intention to end this with a sad note! I say this as something that has become a hard fact and something we all can mull over. I did not come to know of Dutt’s death until the morning of 8th July when I was rushing over the newspaper pages. Could be as I don’t watch TV much, OR our news channels are too busy repeatedly covering other “supposedly important” stuff. All careers are important; all people who bring glory to the country are valuable. However, some are glorified; the rest are left aside in a neglected corner!

12 Accidental Celeb Drug Deaths — and the Prescription Drugs that Caused Them
Written by: Scott Baradell
Heath Ledger could be the latest star to have died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Ledger was taking anti-depressants as well as the “dangerous drug” Ambien at the time of his death, although his autopsy today was inconclusive. While most celebrity drug deaths have been the result of either suicide or the use of illegal drugs, a surprising number of stars have died by accident — from medications you can purchase at the corner pharmacy. Here are 12 of the most famous:
1. MARILYN MONROE. Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” died from an overdose of sleeping pills — specifically, Nembutal and chloral hydrate [pictured]. Although Monroe’s death was officially listed as a suicide in 1962, many forensic experts and investigators now say the overdose was more likely to have been accidental.
2. ELVIS PRESLEY. Perhaps the most famous prescription-drug abuser of all time, Elvis died in 1977 from an overdose of medications while on the toilet in his Graceland mansion. Presley’s ex-wife wrote: “Presley was taking Placidyls [pictured] to combat severe insomnia in ever increasing doses and later took Dexedrine to counter the sleeping pills’ after effects.” Presley’s personal physician, Dr. George C. Nichopoulos, concluded: “Elvis’s problem was that he didn’t see the wrong in it. He felt that by getting [pills] from a doctor, he wasn’t the common everyday junkie…”
3. JUDY GARLAND. The Wizard of Oz star was found dead in her London bathroom by her husband in 1969. Coroner Gavin Thursdon said the cause of death was an accidental overdose of Seconal [pictured].
4. HOWARD HUGHES. The germophobic genius and subject of Martin Scorcese’s The Aviator died in 1976 in route to a Houston hospital from his Acalpulco estate. Although the official cause of death was liver failure, his autopsy showed lethal amounts of codeine and valium [pictured] in his system.
5. ANNA NICOLE SMITH. According to Wikipedia, “Ultimately her death [in 2007] was ruled an accidental drug overdose of the sedative chloral hydrate that became increasingly lethal when combined with other prescription drugs in her system, specifically 4 benzodiazepines: Klonopin (Clonazepam), Ativan (Lorazepam), Serax (Oxazepam), and Valium (Diazepam). Furthermore, she had taken Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) and Topamax (Toprimate), an anticonvulsant GABA agonist, which likely contributed to the sedative effect of chloral hydrate and the benzodiazepines.”
6. DOROTHY DANDRIDGE. The first African-American actress to be nominated for an Academy Award, Dandridge was found dead in West Hollywood in 1965 from an overdose of Imipramine [pictured], a tricyclic antidepressant. It’s believed she improperly combined the medication — which she took for her bipolar disorder — with pain medication she received after breaking an ankle.
7. DANA PLATO. The long-troubled Diff’rent Strokes star died from an accidental overdose of Vanadom [pictured] and Vicodin at her mother-in-law’s Oklahoma home in 1999.
8. KEITH MOON. The Who drummer died in 1978 from an accidental overdose of Heminevrin [pictured], a medication taken as part of a program to wean him off alcohol.
9. ROB PILATUS. The Milli Vanilli star, disgraced after the public learned the music duo did not actually sing on its hit records, died in 1998 of an accidental overdose of a medication (reportedly methadone [pictured]) designed to help him with drug withdrawal symptons.
10. ROBERT WALKER. Perhaps the most bizarre accidental prescription-drug death. The star of Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train died mysteriously in 1951 after being given an injection of the “truth serum” sodium amytal [pictured] by psychiatrists at his home.
11. NICK DRAKE. The influential singer-songwriter died at his childhood home in the U.K. in 1974 from an accidental overdose of the antidepressant amitriptyline [pictured].
12. PAIGE SUMMERS. The 1998 Penthouse Pet of the Year was found dead in her fiance’s home in 2003 from a combination of the painkillers codeine and oxycodone. Her death may or may not have been an accident; some have pointed a finger at fiance Bracey Bobbitt — who was a pharmacist.[Reprinted with permission of eDrugSearch.com]

Better Late than Never Little Jimmy Scott
Place St. Michael Paris
A Beautiful Autum Day In Beautiful Bahrain.
There are Entertainers that are sometimes seen as forgotten, or people will say they missed there chance. Not so in the case of Little Jimmy Scott, a man with a truly beautiful sound.I have all of his music and my Dear Cuz brought him to mind recently, so he is the Soul Artist for this weeks blog. ( Thank you LoJo).Little Jimmy Scott was born 1925, and has had a rough time to the top, check out this next cut, which I love and I am sure Nancy Wilson does too.
Jimmy Scott first rose to national prominence as "Little Jimmy Scott" in the Lionel Hampton Band when he sang lead on the late 1940s hit "Everybody's Somebody's Fool", recorded in December 1949 was a top ten R&B hit in 1950. Credit on the label, however, went to 'male vocalist', a slight to his talent and a blow to his career. A similar professional insult occurred several years later, when his vocal on "Embraceable You" with Charlie Parker, on the album "One Night in Birdland", was credited to female vocalist Chubby Newsome.(Wikipedia)
In 1963, it looked as thoughJimmy Scott's luck had changed for the good. Signed to Ray Charles's Tangerine label, he recorded under the supervision of the great man himself, creating what is considered by many to be one of the great jazz vocal albums of all time, Falling in Love is Wonderful. Owing to obligations on a contract Jimmy had signed earlier with Herman Lubinsky, the record was yanked from the shelves in a matter of days, while Jimmy was honeymooning . 40 years later this cult album became available to the public again. Jimmy disputes the 'lifetime' contract; Lubinsky loaned Jimmy out to Syd Nathan at King Records for 45 recordings in 1957 & 58..(Wikipedia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_swnyxaxUPo&feature=related (1955 Imagination)
Another legendary masterpiece, the album The Source (1969), on which Jimmy sings as intensely as ever, was denied a release until 2001..(Wikipedia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBNzwxkdDYk (If you only Knew recorded 1956)
Scott's career faded by the late 1960s and he returned to his native Cleveland to work in a hospital and as an elevator operator in a hotel..(Wikipedia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQbYy9aQr-Q ( Please Forgive Me' recorded in 1956)
In spite of everything his talents were reconized and he is being celebrated today just as he deserves.This next cut was one of my favorites as a child in 1955, "Someone to watch over me. "
This next cut is one of the songs I love both by Jimmy Scott and TV Mama ( I am still collecting music by her, until I get enough for a future blog) Jimmy has one of the most unique voices I have ever heard , so Jazzlovers enjoy. "All Of Me" Live in Tokyo 2000.
And Jazzlovers my absolute Favorite by Jimmy Scott, "Slave to Love"here is a live version, it is also on the album "Holding Back the Years"
Musicians Like Jimmy Scott who beat the odds and come out on top,gives all of us hope and encourages us not to give up ever...No matter how bad the winter, there is always the spring!!!
All of his music is now available and would be a good idea to collect it now because it is something you will want to have in the future. Jimmy Scott is still here after 65 years as an Entertainer and lives now in Las Vegas, so give him a shout out when you are there visiting.Let him know he is appreciated.
Well Jazzlovers until next time,
keep the beat.


On Monday, 27th February, Lionel Messi Wins FIFA Men’s Best Player Award 2022 in Paris. Karim Benzema didn’t attend the event, due to a busy schedule. But this hasn’t stopped the French star, from expressing how he truly deserved the award after an immaculate year last one. He went ahead posted a screenshot on his story that enlists all his achievements last year.
A coincidence or not, Leo Messi, FIFA Best Player of the year, posted two pictures of him holding the glamorous World Cup trophy two hours after. Well, both stars seems jubilant to their achievements from last year and wouldn’t mind a little banter off field as it appears.

|Bjarte Ylvisåker in Spektrum|
|Name||Bjarte Urheim Ylvisåker|
|Birthday||26. July 1989|
Bjarte Ylvisåker is the youngest Ylvisaker brother. He was born in Bergen, Norway and spent a short amount of time in Africa as a young child. He participated in a few TV shows when he was quite young, and did quite well. However, he has said that he is not interested in show business [needs a source] and spent several years in the United States training as a helicopter pilot.
I Will Never Be A Star
Although Bjarte hasn't formally pursued a show business career, he debuted his own song, I Will Never Be A Star, at the first Expensive Jacket Tour show on 28 February 2014 at Oslo Spektrum, and toured off and on with his brothers for the remainder of the year.
I Will Never Be A Star became a Number 1 download on Cambodia iTunes in December of 2014, and Bjarte won a 2015 Nordic Music Video Best Artist Performance award for the song, along with director (and frequent Ylvis collaborator) Ole Martin Hafsmo. Much to the amusement of his brothers Bård and Vegard, Bjarte's first name was misspelled as Bjarne on the prize.
Stories from Norway
Bjarte played supporting roles in several episodes of Stories from Norway, the "investigative musical" series that aired in 2018 on TVNorge. Here he is playing a bar singer with his brother Vegard in the Petter Northug drunk-driving episode:

A couple weeks ago, Kazan had the honor of performing with Japanese singer/artist Ki-Yo at Rage nightclub in West Hollywood! In addition to taking part in the filming of his music video, several Kazan members performed an original accompaniment to Ki-yo’s songs that night at the club. (Check out our Facebook page to see clips of the event!) It was a lot more crowded than we had expected, but also so much more exciting than we could have imagined! It was a great night the merged the best of both artistic performance and a fun night out, and is definitely an experience we won’t soon forget!


I thought it would be interesting to see if there were any celebrities who have fibromyalgia. To my surprise there weren’t as many as you would think. I’m sure there are some famous people that if they did have the disease, they would not want to disclose that information to anyone for fear that they might lose their job. Of course, some celebrities have had to come out with having fibromyalgia, since it was so bad it interfered with their day to day routine.
There are a few celebrities that have tried to raise awareness of fibromyalgia, one being Morgan Freeman. In a 2012 interview, he disclosed he had fibromyalgia and he was very positive in what he had to say about it. He wanted to move on to other things such as golf, work and just walking around places. It wasn’t going to define who he was. It was encouraging to see that your mental outlook on your prognosis can make a difference in the quality of life you have.
Other famous people who have fibromyalgia are:
Susan Flannery (Actress from the TV show Bold and the Beautiful). Took a medical leave of absence in 2007 because of fibromyalgia
Sinead O’Conner (Irish Rockband Singer) In 2003 revealed she was suffering and put her career on hold for several years
Michael James Hastings (Actor on the TV show West Wing) Has a website dedicated to fighting fibro and was featured in an article about men with fibromyalgia on Dr. Oz
Florence Nightingale (British nurse and reformer) Probably one of the first people to speak out about fibromyalgia (Had the disease, triggered by an infection)

John Mayer stepped into the spotlight when he released a music video for his song “New Light” on May 24th. In just five days the video received 2.9 million views on YouTube, 2.6 million views on Instagram, and 4.4 million views on Facebook. As a musician well known for his sentimental songs, the video including zebras, the Eiffel Tower, a ski lift and other bizarre scene choices came as a surprise.
One of the secrets to his success was the budget – or lack thereof. Mayer expressed on social media the extremely low budget dedicated to producing the music video, which was evident through the transitions, special effects and green screen shots. However, viewers loved the musician’s comedic approach and quickly took to the internet, creating memes and providing commentary.

To followers of John Mayer on Instagram, the hilarious approach came as no surprise as the musician is frequently expressing his more comical side on social media. This is perhaps another reason for the music video’s overwhelming amount of views. The music video didn’t rely on a hefty budget and high production value, and instead allowed Mayer to express a side of himself not typically seen by the media; the transparency seemed to be highly appreciated by viewers.
In the age of social media, many influencers and companies carefully plan and shape the way in which they present themselves to their audience, ensuring viewers see them in a “perfect” light. However, Mayer’s music video sheds light on a marketing trend that is becoming increasingly popular – personal and genuine expression over a highly-produced persona. The viral music video proves it is possible and more beneficial to focus on being transparent and “real” with your audience in order to connect with viewers on a more personal level.


Following the disbandment of The Delgados in 2005, the band Emma co-founded with her three fellow Chemikal Underground starter-uppers (Paul Savage, Alun Woodward, Stewart Henderson), Emma released her solo debut ‘Watch The Fireworks’ on 4AD. Returning to Chemikal for her next solo outing ‘The Law of Large Numbers‘ in 2010, Emma picked up more plaudits and acclaim for her unique brand of lavishly lyrical songwriting.
Then? Well, stints developing the Fruit Tree Foundation alongside Idlewild’s Rod Jones and playing a central role in The Burns Unit (who performed on Later…With Jools Holland) proved more than a little diverting since it’s been five and a half years since we had a new body of work. Until now that is as her new solo album ‘In Search of Harperfield‘ is scheduled for January 29th 2016.
Thank fuck we say: it’s about time. You can’t spend all your days running a recording studio Emma, not when your songs are as good as this…
On ‘The Law of Large Numbers’….
“Exquisite. The Law of Large Numbers never comes across cloyingly, its content ably handled and express with the same cliche-free purity The Delgados mastered” BBC
“Pollock has rediscovered the former band’s grandiose esoterica and stark, scratchy danger” NME [8/10]
“a wonderfully simple, clever and loveable record initially masquerading as a complex and awkward one” Drowned in Sound

The MTV VMAs have come and gone again, hurdling over the age old question “How are the VMAs still relevant?”. The 2018 VMAs had to scream about its relevancy with a very special delivery that reminded us all that as a society, we still do a lot of things that make me want to open the Ark of the Covenant in a very public place to end all of our eternal suffering in an exquisitely painful fashion.
I propose a question to you, dear reader: of all the absolutely incredible black performers we have right, HOW and WHY was Madonna chosen to perform a “tribute” to recently deceased Gospel and Soul Queen Aretha Franklin?
It’s a damn travesty. You deserved better, Queen.

Hugh Jackman, an Australian singer-actor who played Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men, shot to fame right away. But the man is much more than just the well-known action hero. He is a beloved Broadway performer and singer, and the father of two adopted children. He attributes much of his success to self-control, meditation, and engaging in what he truly enjoys. Your motivation to pursue your dreams will be boosted by this collection of inspiring Hugh Jackman sayings.
He is a role model for many people around the world for a variety of admirable reasons, to sum up. You can learn how Hugh Jackman accomplished so much by reading this impressive collection of quotes from him:


The eldest of three children, Nikki was born and raised in San Diego, California. She started singing and dancing at the age of 5 and by the time she was 10, made her professional stage debut playing a Little Who in “Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas” at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. It was then that she realized her passion for acting, singing, and dancing.
She went on to play several other roles in different musicals until she landed her biggest one, the title role in the Page-To-Stage workshop production of Tony-Award-Winners Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater’s new musical “The Nightingale” at the La Jolla Playhouse in La Jolla, California under the direction of Tony-Award-Nominated Moises Kaufman acting opposite Bobby Steggert, Corbin Reid, Kimiko Glenn, Charlayne Woodard, Eisa Davis, and Jonathan Hammond. The role opened up new doors for Nikki, leading her to New York to sign with an NY agent and then auditioning for several Broadway Musicals reaching final callbacks for Lavender in “Matilda the Musical”.
After growing too tall for kid roles but not old enough for older roles in Broadway, she then shifted her focus on Hollywood, signing with a manager and an L.A. agent and then auditioning for TV/Film and Commercials. It wasn’t long after that she started auditioning for Disney and Nickelodeon pilot and episodic shows left and right. In 2014, she booked her first feature film playing a cop’s daughter in “Driving While Black” under the direction of Paul Sapiano and acting opposite Dominic Purdy and Sheila Tejada. In late 2015, she booked her first TV show guest starring in season 2 of Disney’s “K.C. Undercover” playing the recurring role of Akina opposite Zendaya, Kamil McFadden, Kadeem Hardison, Tammy Townsend, Trinitee Stokes, and Veronica Dunne (episodes aired in May and June 2016). In 2016, she booked another guest starring role in season 3 of TNT’s “The Last Ship” playing Malaya opposite Eric Dane, Travis Van Winkle, and Bridget Regan (episode aired in August 2016) and then a large co-starring role in season 3 of CBS’ “Scorpion” playing Patty Logan opposite Ari Stidham and Jadyn Wong (episode aired in February 2017). Earlier this year, she reached another milestone by booking her first voiceover pilot show and a brand new cartoon show on a leading animation network. Just recently, she got promoted to recurring cast in season 4 of CBS’ “Scorpion” reprising her role as Patty Logan.
When not on a theatre stage or in front of a camera, Nikki enjoys performing and is actually an alumna of the Hollywood Launch Academy, a triple threat talent training program geared towards launching the next generation of triple threat performers in L.A., joining the ranks of Ross Lynch, Trinitee Stokes, Aaron Landon, Noah Urrea, Becky G, and many other up and coming young stars. She has performed in various venues in Hollywood/LA and San Diego, and is a regular performer for the Tunes For Tots of Southern California to benefit various charitable organizations. Her passion for giving back to the youth community has also led her to perform at various charity events/concerts such as Music4Education by Pencils For Promises, Heart of a Child by Resounding Joy, and Songs For Shelter by SD Youth Services and Toussaint Academy.
In her spare time, Nikki enjoys singing, dancing, doing musical theatre, spending time with her brother and sister, and watching her favorite TV shows Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, and Once Upon A Time to name a few. But when needing an alone time, she finds solace in knitting, crocheting, doing origami, and pretty much anything arts & crafts. Ask her why and she’ll tell you she’s a “Grandma at heart!”


I asked several workers if they knew the title or the artist and they said that it was MC Mong.
I heard of him and I actually saw him in a TV show but I have never heard of any of his songs. But I immediately knew this guy was gifted.
He may be the Korean Jay-Z or T.I.
What's really amazing is that he's actually a great actor in this music video.
He knows about to express himself and how to present himself at the right time at the right place.
I need to get his album.... again, love this song. enjoy!

Arts Insider Pick of the Week: Wynonna and Friends
Hear the stories that inspired this multi-platinum country music artist and five-time Grammy Award-winner to record the songs, create the tours and make recording history throughout her 30-year career. Joined by her three-piece band including her husband, producer and award-winning artist Cactus Moser, they will take you inside the hits and history of this iconic artist.
*On a personal note, I’ve interviewed the Kentucky native numerous times over the years beginning in 1998 (the last time for T.W. was Dec. 2007). She is in person just as she is on stage: an open book, deeply sensitive, down-to-earth and possessing a quick deadpan sense of humor. I also consider Wynonna to be one of the greatest female vocal talents of this and any other time; her artistry is such that audible gasps are emitted from members of the audience during her heart-wrenching renditions of I Want To Know What Love Is and Ave Maria (the latter also a track off her 2007 CD, Wynonna A Classic Christmas).

Espresso Manifesto - Don't Break My Heart
A big shoutout to Daniela Nardi, who has graciously given her approval to add this, and possibly some of her other tracks, to the This is Lounge playlist.
A major fan of Italian singer Paolo Conte, Daniela and her Espresso Manifesto group lovingly recorded a tribute album back in the summer of 2012.
As much as I would love to wax poetic on all that is Daniela Nardi, let me just say that if you like the above song, please visit her wonderfully detailed website and her equally wonderful Facebook page.


Michael Phelps: A Comeback Story
Michael Phelps, the world’s all-time greatest Olympic swimmer, was on top of the world after he broke Mark Spitz’s record of 7 gold medals at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing with 8 gold medals of his own. He showed millions of people that with dedication, hard work, and eating subway sandwiches, you too could turn into someone great. In 2009 however, a photograph surfaced of him smoking marijuana and that was the beginning of a serious downfall that not only saw him lose several of his endorsements, but also affected his ability to focus and perform at the elite level that made him famous.
In an interview with Matt Lauer, Phelps admitted to having to create a front to get through public appearances because deep down he wasn’t truly happy. He would breeze through interviews as if everything was alright, but he knew he had to make a change. He went on to state that he didn’t want anything to do with the sport of swimming, and wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do. As a child, his father divorced his mother and he felt abandoned by him, and because of this, there were very few people that Michael felt he could turn to. Some say that this is when his personal problems really began to escalate.
He mentioned that he would go to parties, get drunk, and hang out with people that loved the idea of hanging out with Michael Phelps, the Olympic hero, but they didn’t really care about Michael Phelps, the person. Those who really cared about him were terrified about the direction that his life was heading in. On September 30, 2014, he was arrested for his second DUI after leaving a casino in Las Vegas. When he got pulled over, he mentioned thinking to himself, “I’m f****d”.
At that point, even his coach and father figure felt that his opportunity to make a comeback, and become “Michael Phelps” again was over. Phelps admitted to even having suicidal thoughts because he didn’t want the world to have to put up with him anymore. Fortunately for Phelps, his friend and soon-to-be mentor, future Hall of Famer football player Ray Lewis, shared some of the dark times that he went through and what he had to do to get through them while he was also in the prime of his career. Ray Lewis, along with others, convinced him to go to rehab and to re-evaluate his life and the choices that he was making.
Phelps learned a lot about himself, and why he constantly turned to drugs and alcohol while he was at rehab. And after reading “The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here for” by Rick Warren, he was able to not only rekindle the relationships that his drug and alcohol use had isolated him from, but also the relationship with his father. Phelps also began to re-establish his life and professional goals. He started training hard again with the hopes of returning to the pool and also began a family of his own. All of these life changes helped remind Phelps why he loved swimming so much and what his purpose in life was. It just goes to show you that even though you may make bad decisions in life, you do not have to let them define you. Phelps learned that he was turning to drugs and alcohol to help him deal with stress when there were so many other ways that he could have managed it. This comeback story also shows that when you decide to be dedicated yourself to something, and you are willing to work hard for it, you can accomplish things that maybe you yourself at one point doubted that you could do.


Even though we’re hardly three months into this year, 2019 has proven that it will be a year to remember. Already, so many historical things have happened this year. Scandals are already shaking the country. Unforgettable albums are hitting the charts hard, LGBTQ+ and people of color are taking over Congress, and – much to our entertainment – people are acting like absolute fools.
Here are a few people who are shaking it up in 2019:
You can’t go anywhere without hearing a Cardi B song. She’s risen to fame so quickly people aren’t even quite sure as to where she came from exactly!
Cardi B started out stripping. Her big personality and hilarious internet content landed her on Love and Hip-hop! There she gradually built up a social media following and teased that she was going to start putting out music.
I was following Cardi B for her comedy and her confidence, not because she was a rising hip-hop star. I was skeptical when she announced she was recording music and got even more concerned because I really wanted her to succeed… and much to everyone’s surprise she did.
And she kept succeeding. It was little over three years ago that Cardi B worked her last shift at her strip club… now she’s a Grammy-winning artist.
Cardi got where she is now by not giving a shit and fully embracing who she is. She’s an inspiration for Afro-latinas and sex-workers alike. And she’s a pretty damn good rapper.
If you didn’t know who Jordyn Woods was, I could promise that you sure do now.
This friend of the Kardashians has landed herself in some serious hot water by allegedly cheating with Khloe Kardashian’s now ex-boyfriend Tristan Thomas.
Tristan has been caught cheating before when Khloe was pregnant with their child, so this isn’t out of character behavior for him… however, the world was shook when they found out that he potentially cheated with Jordyn, who is Kyle’s life-long best friend.
The drama is currently playing out on social media and on-air as Jordyn takes to Jada Pinkett-Smith’s show to tell her side of the story. You know that everyone is glued to their phones right now – even Khloe is who’s live-tweeting about the whole thing!
Let’s talk about this mess of a situation surrounding actor Jesse Smollett. Smollett claimed he was attacked by two MAGA hat wearing white men outside of his apartment after being sent a threatening letter.
He claimed that these men shouted slurs at him as they beat him and put a noose around his neck. However, the men who were taken into custody for this were not only black but claimed that Smollett paid them to do this in order to bolster a pay raise.
He’s now in jail where, because of similar mug-shots, he’s suspected of being in the same facility as suspected child-rapist R. Kelly. Let the jokes about jailhouse harmonizing fly.
Speaking of R. Kelly… following the airing of a Lifetime documentary where women he has abused over the years – including his ex-wife – he has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and imprisonment! Kelly told us not to bring her to the club, but we never knew it was this bad. It’s been alleged that Kelly was even a sex addict who was constantly using meet and fuck sites and dating apps to find new women.


When Aaliyah Love goes to bed, her frisky side comes out to play and she invites the camera along to capture it all! She pulls her glasses down and there is no mistaking that mischievous glimmer in her gorgeous eyes.
Putting the glasses on top of her head and lowering the straps of her polka-dot nightie, Aaliyah shows off her tasty little tits and cradles them between her arms. It’s the perfect place to imagine pressing your face.
Aaliyah then gets down on all fours and positions her sweet ass in perfect doggy-style position. Her adorable thong flosses right up between her cheeks as her hem rides up to her hips.
All smiles as she lays back, Aaliyah raises both legs covered by blue stockings up into the air with her panties pulled away from her pussy. Her bald cooch is totally exposed and unobstructed visual access is granted!
Foot fans will rejoice as she wiggles her nylon-covered soles and toes. Everyone will rejoice as she bares her beautiful young body and energetically puts herself on erotic display.


By now you’ve probably heard all the conservative ruckus being made over Beyonce’s recent performances, and most specifically her explicit new video for Partition. It’s too raunchy for her younger viewers, they say. You don’t have to do this, they plead. You’re a hindrance to female empowerment movements, they insinuate. By “they”, I am mainly referring to Bill O’Reilly and his loyal following, to whom I say... mind your own beeswax and stop judging. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. It’s simple.
I’ll be first to admit, I’ve never been a huge Beyonce fan. In fact I’ve been neutral at best. There are many Beyonce songs that were not particularly my favorite and I really did not find her to be all that entertaining for most of her early career. However, in the past year, I truly have to admit, she’s killing it. Its obvious that she’s working her f*cking ass off (or on.. squats anyone?) and has grown leaps and bounds both musically and in her choreography. She may turn me into a true Beyonce fan before long after all. And you know what? I don’t think I’d ever be one had she kept it PG. You think we need another Taylor Swift in the world? Bi*ch please. She’s pushing the envelope. She’s progressive. She’s doing what an iconic entertainer does!
So, is it too raunchy for her younger viewers? Probably. Though I doubt if you took a poll of true Beyonce fans that most of them would be under age 16, at which point I would certainly consider them mature enough to watch such material responsibly. On the flip side, I’d consider it right on par with the type of thing most of her adult fans want to see. And trust me, it’s not anything they haven’t seen before. I watched the video expecting to see something truly appalling, but found it much less shocking than anticipated. Go to any club in America on any night of the week, and you’ll see something very similar. It’s an American norm, the way of the world, and it is not always a bad thing. Think about swimsuits of the past and how shocking they were at the time. Norms will constantly change. You can embrace it and be happy, or fight it and spend your life disgruntled. I guess Bill O’Reilly chose the latter.
Does she have to do it? No! But I bet she wants to! She’s doing it because she has $350 million in the bank, and she can afford to push limits and not spend her life making the “safe” decision. It’s not about you. It’s about her. She’s an artist and she is allowed to reinvent herself as many times as she pleases.
Does her provocative image hinder female empowerment and equality? In my opinion, it does not. For me, I actually think it does quite the opposite. She’s a wife and a mother, yet is still sickeningly hot. Actually hotter than she even was before she was a mother. She’s quite an inspiration to all potential mothers out there, letting us know that having a child may not be relationship suicide after all. Yes, she sings about having relations... with her husband that she’s obviously in love with! I’m sorry, but this all seems quite healthy to me. I guess some would prefer she keep it behind closed doors, but you’re asking her to inspire, so here she is! I see nothing wrong with acknowledging the beauty of a woman, especially when she has worked so hard to stay fit through motherhood.
I recognize that there are alternate views and am apologizing in advance if I offend anyone, but I feel like this issue keeps coming up again and again. When will we stop judging each other and embrace changing times? You go Beyonce. Give ‘em something to talk about.


Janet Replies to the people who have left her a message and starts calling them on their phones. Some people’s reactions were hilarious! CLICK HERE to listen to this guy who’s been a fan for over 22 years and just got a call from her. priceless reaction 😛
I’m not a big fan of Alanis Morissette I just like listening to her debut album every now and then. I think she wrote great songs on that album, and she seemed to have lots of potential especially if she wrote that many hits for her debut, you’d think with the success she’s had that year and how hungry she seemed for success, she’d become a hit machine. But she released many albums after that one that did nothing to me, I liked non of them, maybe just a couple of singles and her unplugged album, but not a single album came close to her debut imo.
With this new album things are different, I don’t know what she’s doing differently, but I find her interesting again. I like atleast 3 songs up to know and my favorite being Underneath & Moratorium.
Mac Users, this is a nice program if you want to convert RM to MP3. Its simple and easy to use, it barely has an interface (you can’t get any simpler). All you have to do is, take the song’s link, drag and drop it in this software and it’ll do the rest. It takes an average of 40-50 secs to convert a song.
The only thing that may annoy you is the the need for an internet connection for it to work.
Rumors have been circulating in the media all through last week about this surprise wedding. Now its confirmed, she got married to Nick Cannon, and who’s a better source of confirmation than the big O herself?

I knew something would get in my way of seeing Mariah in Dubai. I just knew. Now watch her cancel the show and the promoters refund our money.
Just as predicted, the concert got canceled and they’re refunding our money.
I was told that the tickets are selling out, especially the better ones. Thankfully we, I mean loco, managed to buy us 2 tickets. I hope everything goes well coz there are unsettling rumors going around and canceled appearances on BET, TRL and The View, I just hope she makes it to Dubai.
If you’re planning on getting good tickets, book through the internet coz they’re sold out in most outlets in Dubai.
Rebecca Brianceau, of Universal, Dubai, said the label was extremely excited to be bringing two such wonderful artists to Dubai back-to-back. “We are so excited about the concerts and cannot wait to welcome the ladies to the UAE. We are expecting great things on both nights.”
The venue holds a capacity crowd of 15,000 and tickets for both concerts are expected to sell out in a matter of days.”
As of now, if all went well and nothing serious stood in my way, I’ll be going o chinnnnnnaa il3eeeeeeed! 😀

We lost an amazing personality this week.
Tosyn Abisona Bucknor, a leading member of our IIP community and a delightful soul and beautiful human in every measure passed on.
Tosyn lived a cheerful life and will be remembered for her radiant and energetic personality.
To celebrate here remarkable life, here are five inspiring things you probably didn’t know about her.
Tosyn’s Inspiring Talk at TEDx Ife 2012
Though a graduate of Unilag and a proud alumna of the school, Tosyn made a lasting impression when she graced the stage of the 2012 edition of TEDx in OAU, Ife.
The TEDxIfe talk which is one of the most watched locally-hosted TEDx event in Nigeria, had Tosyn begin her speech by addressing herself as the shortest speaker of the day.
The witty remark immediately endeared her to the crowd and in typical Tosyn Bucknor fashion, she followed up with an inspiring speech on why it is important to chase all your dreams, numerous as they may be.
This speech was made in 2012, but the subject matter is just as relevant now as it was 6 years ago.
Activist and a Known Advocate For Sickle Cell Awareness
Tosyn lived with the condition from birth and even admitted to worrying that she wouldn’t live very long. This however spurred her on to live life to the fullest. Tosyn was a dream chaser who never shied away from expressing her creativity in various ways.
She also used her position, platform, and influence to raise awareness for sickle cell and became one of the most popular personalities who openly admitted to living with the condition. Her drive and tenacity, in spite of her condition, inspired many who also lived with the disease, to also chase their dreams regardless.
In light of this, Tosyn founded the These Genes, a sickle cell project to raise awareness of the disorder, and advocate for its carriers. She was also a strong believer of youth development, supporting projects like Rise Nigeria and The Future Nigeria.
Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Tosyn Bucknor was a known believer of “Jack of trade, master of all”, and this was a philosophy she lived by.
A graduate of Law from the University of Lagos, she attended the Nigerian Law School Lagos. However, Tosyn was never one to keep herself in a box and she started her broadcasting career at Eko FM, shortly after she interned at Cool FM.
She was popularly known for her morning drive show “Area” on Top Radio before moving to Inspiration FM were she remained till her demise.
Her talents also saw her write for some of the biggest TV shows in Nigeria including, My Mum and I, About to Wed, Nigeria’s Got Talent and a host of others.
Tosyn also had a brief stint as a recording and performing artist, making her one of the most well-rounded entertainers of our era.
A Radio Icon
Tosyn Bucknor was the first female to handle the morning belt on a radio station all by herself. She was one of the most respected women in radio broadcasting and was most popularly known for her show on Top Radio, the show that gave her the nickname “Area Mama”.
Tosyn Bucknor paved the way for other young women in radio broadcasting and she was without a doubt one of the most well known on air personalities in the country.
Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile
For someone who was a known Fashion icon, Tosyn was a firm advocate of the saying – “Never fully dressed without a smile”. You would almost never catch Tosyn without a smile as she would always radiate joy and happiness.
One of the most important things people remember about Tosyn is how she was a beacon of joy and a delightful human. This is even more impressive considering she lived with the sickle cell condition. Tosyn would always be the first to crack a joke, make others laugh and put a smile on the faces of others. It is impossible to spend a moment with Tosin and not smile. Yes, she’s that amazing.
Tosyn Bucknor was a lot of things: an amazing radio presenter, a great writer, fantastic singer, songwriter, TV host, lawyer, activist and many more. She lived her life to the fullest and her legacy will live on years after she’s gone.
Rest In Peace, Area Mama, you’ll always be in our hearts.


Devin Townsend is the man. He's making awesome music and also being really cool for his fans, making videos (studio work and also really silly funny stuff) and I think its really cool to see this stuff. Here is the Finished song off his newest cd. Here is a video of him recording vocal tracks for the chorus of the song (before it was finished and released, essentially a teaser for the new albulm) And just posted today is a look at his ProTools session, soloing some tracks to see and hear all the different layers that make up the song. Hope you like it.


Today my friend Kali and I went to the V&A to see the Grace Kelly Style Icon exhibition. Having heard good reviews, I was really looking forward to it, plus I love the V&A, so any excuse to go, and I’m there.
Grace has long been famed for her cool Hitchcock blonde style credentials, and the exhibition proved that her appeal is clearly as strong as ever – the place was packed, and we had to book an allotted time slot, even now one month into the exhibition.
Obviously the frocks were fabulous and any fashion fan should definitely go along for inspiration, I especially loved the nipped in Fifties numbers, and her brilliant sunglasses collection. It was really interesting though to see the more bohemian maxi dresses Grace started wearing in the late Sixties, with her intricate braided hair dos, it showed a more sartorially adventurous side to Grace than the one I most associated her with – the classy dresses, set hair, matching hats and gloves and understated jewels of the Fifties.
As much as I loved Grace and the exhibition, I do wonder if Grace was really a style icon, or just an incredibly beautiful clothes horse? Her fashion was never really controversial or trend setting, but rather impeccably perfect and not a hair out of place stylish. Maybe this is enough to warrant her icon status. I wonder if Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn and even Marilyn Monroe who were a little riskier and more individual might actually beat Grace in the style stakes. What do you think? Is Grace the ultimate fashion pin-up or do we all just wish that we looked an ounce as poised as she did over the years? Either way there is no denying her beauty, style and elegance has continued to win hearts decades on, and that is certainly no mean feat.
Grace Kelly Style Icon, is on at the V&A until 26th September.


“…Steve has a new album coming out next month, Noineen Noiny Noin, which was named during one of his previous Aussie jaunts. Steve asked a promoter if he remembered the year when he first came to Australia, “Oi reckon it was noineen noiny noin,” the man said, referring to the year 1999. Voila, an album title is born!
Today’s tune comes from Steve’s 2010 release, Dreamhouse. It’s the title track and this version was filmed during our Spring Music Fog Marathon at Threadgill’s WHQ in March.”


Jasmine Tridevil, the 21-year-old Floridian "dominatrix" with three breasts, maintains in a new interview with very reliable source the Daily Mail that her third boob is a surgical implant, not just a removable prosthesis. That's despite all evidence to the contrary: when her bag was lost at the airport last year, she claimed a "3 breast prosthesis" as one of the missing items.
"I know my breasts are real and I do not care what anybody thinks," she told the Mail.
Well, one half of that sentence is true, anyway.
What new proof did Tridevil (real name Alisha Hessler) offer to support the claim that a $20,000 third breast is permanently attached to her body? None at all. She says she signed an NDA agreeing never to name the surgeon who did the procedure after several (she's previously claimed 50) other doctors turned her down.
She's also ruled out the idea of releasing photos of the third breast for verification.
"I could never consider doing a topless shoot - it's against the way I was raised," said the woman who made this music video:
On the other hand, there is some addition evidence that the third breast is fake. WFTS Tampa Bay reported that after Hessler was picked up on DUI charges in January, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office released a list of the items she had with her when she was booked:
Among them: "Rubber breast, tan."
On Facebook, she says she's working on her next song, although three people who promised to help her have blown her off. She's also bummed that her "YouTube video explaining why I believe women should legally be allowed to rape men" was taken down.
Life is hard.

Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor came on stage and danced with Chance the Rapper during his set at Made in America in Philadelphia this weekend.
Jahlil Okafor is doing a lot to make sure he shows up in Philadelphia 76ers social media lately. Just last week, pictures emerged of his new and improved body with more toned muscles for next season. Over labor day weekend, he was greeting fans at various booths at Made in America on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia.
As the festival closed on Sunday (it’s an annual festival that takes place on Labor Day Weekend, last year Beyonce closed day one by sporting a Sixers shirt during her set) Okafor was on the side of the stage for Chance the Rapper’s set. Chance, also known by his real name as Chancellor Bennet, recently put out his third big mixtape, Coloring Book, and it was talked about a lot as being one of the best mixtape to come out ever.
Chance also appeared and worked closely with fellow Chicago native Kanye West on West’s newest project, The Life of Pablo.
Chance was performing one of the songs from TLOP that he worked on, the most popular song of the album, “Father Stretch My Hands Part I.” As the beat was about to drop, Chance walks over to the side of the stage, daps up Jahlil Okafor, and introduces Jahlil to the crowd.
— Jack Durfee (@jackdurf) September 5, 2016
There were cheers from the Philly crowd, and Chance pulled Jah on stage to put the moves on for the huge beat drop in “Father Stretch My Hands.”
It looks like, based on videos emerging of the set, it was a very fun time to see Chance perform at Made in America. The festival can get miserable at times, since they tend to sell as many tickets as humanly possible to that event, making it hard to walk around and do anything once you’re inside the festival. For those that can bear the crowds and the dirt, it can be a life changing experience. For others, not so much. But Chance seems to put a smile on the faces of everyone he performs in front of.
Jah getting noticed by some of the bigger music celebrities right now is awesome, and what better way to capitalize on your set in Philadelphia than to bring on a Philly athlete?

Boasting a 40-inch inseam and 38DD bust, the model started her modeling career in November 2009 after being discovered by an editor at Zoo Weekly in Australia, Eve said on her personal website. The men's magazine featured the bikini-clad Eve towering over another model whose head barely reached the amazon's chest.
40英寸（1米）的长腿，38DD的巨乳，伊芙 亚玛逊被澳大利亚男性杂志《Zoo Weekly》的一名编辑挖掘到，从2009年11月开始了自己的模特生涯。这本杂志上放了伊芙穿着比基尼的照片，而在她身旁的另一名模特身高勉强达到伊芙的胸部，伊芙就像一座高塔气势压人。

"They are going to measure me at morning, noon and night, so we'll see," she told the website. "However, the previous record holder is 6 foot 4, so it looks good."

Trina Shoemaker was born in 1965 and raised in Joliet, Il., about 45 minutes southwest of Chicago. There was nothing she loved more than listening to her dad’s Hi-Fi stereo and comparing it with the other systems in the neighborhood. They were all good, some better than others. Her dad’s was the best and it was loud! By 13 Shoemaker knew she wanted to record albums, whatever that meant, and by 19, she had a little apartment in Los Angeles and an entry level job at Capitol Records.
It would be a long road finding her way to a console. Her rather circuitous route to recording began in a basement studio in a London flat with artist Hugh Harris, then wound through Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, and further on down to the Mississippi River Delta, where she began by cleaning studios in New Orleans. Eventually, she found her way to Kingsway, Daniel Lanois’ famed studio in the French Quarter where she was hired as a tape op and second engineer in 1991 and quickly became the house engineer. During those early Kingsway years, Shoemaker worked on Iggy Pop’s “American Ceasar”, The Throwing Muses “University”, Giant Sand’s “Glum” and Emmylou Harris’ iconic “Wrecking Ball”, among many others. In 1995, after completing “Wrecking Ball”, Shoemaker decided to leave Kingsway and strike out on her own. Within a few months she was hired by Sheryl Crow and over the next year recorded Crow’s breakout self-titled album featuring the hit songs “If It Makes You Happy” and “Everyday Is A Winding Road”. They followed it up with “The Globe Sessions” in 1998 with Shoemaker winning two Grammy Awards® for Rock Album Of The Year and Best Engineered Album Non-Classical, making her the first woman to win the latter. During the late 90’s and early 2000’s, she recorded Whiskeytown’s “Pneumonia” at Dreamland in the Catskills, Queens Of The Stone Age “Rated R” at Sound City in Los Angeles, Victoria Williams’ “Musings Of A Creek Dipper” in Joshua Tree and Something For Kate “Echolalia” in Australia. In 2001, Shoemaker and Crow reunited for her fourth studio album “C’Mon C’Mon”, where Shoemaker was once again nominated for the Best Engineered Album Grammy Award®. In 2003, Shoemaker mixed several tracks for The Dixie Chicks and in 2004 she won her third Grammy Award® for her work on Steven Curtis Chapman’s album “All Things New”.
After Shoemaker lost her New Orleans home during Hurricane Katrina, she moved to Nashville along with her husband and 7 month old son. During her 5 years in Nashville, she produced, engineered and mixed dozens of albums including “Sunset Man” by James Otto, which featured the #1 Billboard Country hit “Just Got Started Lovin’ You”. In 2010, Shoemaker and her family moved back down to the Gulf Coast where she built Local Honey Studio. Since then she has mixed the critically acclaimed “Pauper’s Field” by Dylan LeBlanc, engineered and mixed The Indigo Girls, produced, recorded and mixed Brandi Carlile’s “Bear Creek” and Brandi’s newest album “The Fire Watcher’s Daughter”. Trina was again nominated for Best Engineered Album Non-Classical in the 2013 Grammy Awards® fort the album “The Moorings” by Andrew Duhon.
Trina lives with her husband, musician Grayson Capps, and their kids, dogs, cats and horses on Mobile Bay in Fairhope, Alabama.
