The Summer Playhouse 'Beautiful'
After the War Makinson became a salesman in the law-book industry. In 1973 he moved to Lexington, Virginia, founding a cooperative art gallery Artists in Cahoots in 1980 which featured his land and seascape art work along with other artists. Interviewed at age 93 in January 2009, he especially recalled Roscella Lightner at the Lake playhouse. She was married to a vaudeville comic Fred Lightner and her friendship with Elaine Barrie likely led to Barrie’s appearance at the Lake. Fred Lightner appeared in several movies after 1935, and in 1948 in The Babe Ruth Story. He also appeared in the Broadway play Off to Buffalo in February 1939 and Hit the Trail which lasted for four performances in December 1954.
Cecile Wulff, one of the Lake's original stars, seemingly had no noted theatrical success after 1939. She died at age 83 in 1993 in Brooklyn, her home town. The Lake playhouse actor Paul Kirk Giles (1895-1976) continued in an acting career with his last performances in the TV cult classic Dark Shadows in 1968-1971.
The Nanticoke apprentice Franklyn Lenthall (1919-2001), a Wyoming Seminary graduate, who appeared at the Lake playhouse in Easy Virtue, had an extensive theatre career including movies between 1947 and 1952, for example, Naked City (1948) and The West Point Story (1950). He appeared in regional theatres between 1950 and 1970 but was best known as the co-owner, producer and director of the Boothbay Playhouse in Maine from 1957 to 1974, founding the Boothbay Theatre Museum and serving as its curator from 1974 to 1990. He published widely in magazines on theatre history and other topics and he was an expert on theatrical manuscripts and autographs. He also was a faculty member of several prestigious theatre academies.
The Harvey’s Lake Playhouse did not reopen in 1940. At a later time the playhouse building was razed. The looming War years would impact the Nation and the Lake.

Vivaldi re-established his contacts with the Pietà in 1723, with the commitment to write two new concerts a month for the Institute. Later, in the works of Vivaldi represented in Venice, the young Anna Giraud appears as prima donna. He made his debut at a very young age in 1724-25 at San Moisè and at Sant’Angelo in 1726-28, where he sang in the opera by Vivaldi Dorilla. She was very successful and soon became a pupil and friend of Antonio, singing in his operas, but also traveling and living with him for a period. A somewhat embarrassing situation for a Catholic priest, despite the frequent claims of innocence of their relationship.
There are no (to date) certain portraits of Anna, but Carlo Goldoni describes her as "beautiful and graceful", with beautiful hair and a graceful figure. Her mezzo-soprano voice was neither strong nor particularly beautiful, but she could act very well, which was unusual for the time. In short, he became a little star, very close to Vivaldi, together with his older sister Paolina, who probably looked after him due to his health conditions.
Between Antonio and Anna there were about thirty years of difference. Always next to Vivaldi, traces of the Girauds are lost on the very last and definitive trip to Vienna.


(I started late, because it’s not really fun without someone to watch it with.)
– Oh — oh…nooooo, Nicole Kidman — WTF??? Someone needs to stage an intervention or something. I know celebrities like to switch up the look, but…she started out as this vibrant woman, so beautiful and different with her red curly hair and freckles. So, she wants to mess around with the dye and that’s cool, but…she’s become like, absent of pigmentation! And also eyebrows! And I didn’t notice any wrinkles before, but I guess she’s absent of those too, because she looks rather *unable* to smile or make any expressions to speak of.
– Ohhhh, okay, no WONDER I was so confused when Keira Knightley was everywhere, and I was like, “she seems different now.” That’s because she was, in fact, Rachel Weisz this whole time! Until she became Keira Knightley apart from Rachel Weisz, and I forgot about Rachel until just this moment when she won an Academy Award.
– Damn, wow. That is some ker-razy cleavage, Rachel Weisz! I feel kind of bad for her. She looks like I felt the year I Ace bandaged my boobs to be (The New) Jan Brady.
– Michelle Williams looks just lovely and flabbergasted to be here. That’s nice. I think I’d like the Oscars more if everyone looked a little more honored to be invited.
– That Best Actress spoof thing was surprisingly good!
– Okay, I don’t mind if actors don’t seem excited to be there if they all act like George Clooney, like they’ve got mad swagger-boy ADD going on . He’s like, jumping around in his seat and looking all around and it’s awesome.
– You know, I sent an email to Charlize Theron right after “Devil’s Advocate” when no one knew who she was, and she didn’t write back.
– Wow, how great would it be if EVERY Oscar winner brought a stuffed animal up on stage like the “March of the Penguins” dudes?
– Wait, what did Bodiless Oscar Voice just call Jennifer Lopez? “Entertaining and versatile”? Just because you showed that clip of her from “Selena” from before she was J. Lo doesn’t mean she gets to be called those things.
– Although I think I found out who’s been stealing all of the orange from Nicole Kidman.
– Well, many have referred to “Crash” as self-consciously artsy and overly self serious. Thank goodness this performance of “In the Deep” was neither.
– Is it wrong that every time there is an absentee speech given, it reminds me of 90210 and all the telegrams?
– Hee! Samuel Jackson knows how to WALK.
– Sid Dennis…huhhhhh…I feel like I’m at a work meeting now. Or, should I say, “holiday party.”
– What? Did he just say “state-of-the-heart movies will always be around?” Shut up, Sid Dennis.
– Hello, Mickey Rooney! I wasn’t sure if you were still alive. Nice to see that you are.
– Salma Hayek looks beauuuuuutiful. That dress is fantastic. It seems like the theme this year is “Act like you’re classy,” but she doesn’t make it look like an act. Nice.
– Okay, there is the real Keira Knightley. I like her ever since I read an interview with her where she just came off as this total neurotic freak. Not that it got me to see any of her movies. Or kept me from thinking she was Rachel Weisz originally.
– So I’ve never heard of this “The Constant Gardener,” but I’m going to venture a guess and say it’s one of those movies where everyone in the movie is a minority, but the whole point of the movie is the one or two white actors who get to be important and save everyone and also get nominated for the awards.
– Which also reminds me of 90210.
– Why does Jessica Alba keep getting to do stuff?
– I think they made this whole dramatic clip montage just so Naomi Watts could feel less bad about being there when her ex and his baby momma are high focal points of the evening.
– Ha ha! Ha ha ha! A montage montage!
– They’re never letting Jon Stewart host the Oscars again, are they.
– Jessica Alba’s dress is like…it should be nice, and it looks like it was on the way to being so, but took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up looking like a bathingsuit with a really fancy sarong.
– Okay, I spent the afternoon watching horrible scripted “banter” in the form of MTV’s “Parental Control.” But like, THAT IS MTV. What is Lily Tomlin’s, Meryl Streep’s, and the freaking Academy’s excuse???
– Oh my God they’re still talking, and HEY! WRITERS! The word “peyote” is not in and of itself funny.
– I am so confused right now. Like seriously, I feel like I’m watching some entirely new show.
– HOLY CRAP! That was all for MORE CLIPS!!!
– I’m starting to remember why I haven’t watched the Oscars in six years.
– It’s weird seeing clips of Tim Robbins from before his eyes began the long day’s journey into the middle of his head.
– Hahaha, “Honorary Oscar.” That’s like the prize in high school for “Best Attitude.” Like, sorry you weren’t smart or talented or athletic enough to actually win anything real, but hey, we feel mad guilty since you keep failing, so here ya go!
– Oh hey, M. Night Shamalayan’s in an American Express commercial as himself! And it’s just like his movies! Only instead of tedium for 2 hours with a “twist” at the end, it’s just tedium for 30 seconds with no twist. Actually, I think I’d rather watch that commercial for two hours than ever sit through “The Village” again.
– “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp.” EXCELLENT. I really, really wish they would pan to the audience right now. I think the only two people who you’d see not looking confused right now are Sam Jackson and Kate Hudson. If she were there, I don’t think she is. But she’d have that big, vapid smile on and not look grim in the way that you know Emma Thompson would. If she were here. I really haven’t been paying attention to this crap in awhile.
– OMG! My girlfriend Queen Latifah is here! Yay!
– BTW, I’m not cheating on Lizzy Kaplan. It’s figurative speech, ya know.
– Jon Stewart looks like you do when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but you basically know that they suck, and the two of you are hanging out with people who are really funny and cool, and then you have to leave to go be with your SO, and it’s all disappointing. That’s how pissed he seems that the audience isn’t made up of the “Hard Out Here For A Pimp” people.
– You know, I’ve made up with Jennifer Garner since she broke Knoll’s (TM Maggie) heart, but it’s just so wrong that she gets to present at the Oscars while Keri Russell sinks further into obscurity.
– Aw. Pat Morita. Okay, I was going to complain about yet MORE clips, but this is always really sad, the dead people montage. Except for the part that many have pointed out, which is that it’s really really awkward that it’s kind of like a vote-by-applause popularity contest.
– But I’m still crying! I can’t help it! But to be fair, it started with watching “Walk the Line” before.
– Wow, was that intentional, what they just did? Where they held the dim light over the audience for an extended moment after the tribute? Like as if to say “You’re all gonna die, too”?!?! Because, seriously, how AWESOME would that be.
– Ew, I HATE when winners say “Don’t start the music.” Like the Oscars aren’t long enough without your extended Last Will and Testament.
– Hilary Swank forgot to wear a necklace.
– OMG that is Busy Phillips sitting with Michelle Williams! What a turvy-topsy world, with a “Freaks and Geeks” alumnus at the Oscars as a guest of a “Dawson’s Creek” alum. Well, Busy was on “Dawson’s Creek,” too. But you know what I mean.
– I’m honestly starting to believe that Judi Dench keeps taking the most random roles just to see if she keeps getting nominated for Academy Awards.
– I really want Reese to win, if for no other reason than to encourage her to keep making good movies.
– Yayyyyyy!!!!! Oh, and she looks so beautiful. I mean, SLIGHTLY like one of those dolls with the big skirts that disguise perfume bottles, but still.
– Oh no. Reese. REESE! Don’t pull a Hilary Swank! REESE! Thank Ryan!
– Oh, thank goodness.
– Awwwww, I love this speech! You know, I didn’t see “Walk the Line” until today, but I’d read that June Carter’s kids thought that Reese Witherspoon portrayed Carter as shrewish, but I didn’t get that at all. I thought her performance was beautiful and subtle, and full of that inner struggle for truth and self respect, like Reese just said in her speech. So good for her for speaking so articulately about June Carter in what must be an incredibly emotional and nervewracking moment.
– Way to not pan to Felicity Huffman right after she loses Best Actress and Jon Stewart jokes about “Desperate Housewives.”
– Wait, what, Dustin Hoffman?
– The chick who’s accepting the “Brokeback Mountain” screenplay award totally seems like she accidentally wandered in from an Aaron Spelling nighttime drama.
– Okay, WHY is no one wearing a necklace tonight?
– Hee, I think now Laura Linney just makes movies where she gets to dye her hair drab colors and look wan.
– Sandra Bullock appears to be doing her best Paula Abdul impersonation tonight.
– Well, that was creepy. Matt Dillon just stared directly into the camera for like 20 minutes.
ETA that nothing else interesting happened, Ang Lee won, “Crash” won, yada yada, good night!

Fans of Lee Min Ho in Shanghai will soon be able to come face-to-face with a life-size wax figurine of the actor himself!
Lee Min Ho’s agency reported on August 24, “Lee Min Ho’s wax doll will be exhibited in Shanghai’s Madame Tussaud’s museum. Recently Madame Tussaud’s staff from the U.K. and China visited Korea to take Lee Min Ho’s measurements and to discuss Lee Min Ho’s concept, pose and design.”
Madame Tussaud’s is a famous museum that’s found in a total of 13 major cities including London, New York, Hong Kong, Hollywood and more featuring the life-like wax figurines of various famous individuals.
Some of the most famous individuals to be made into a wax figurine for the museum include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Jackson, David Beckham and more.
A representative for Madame Tussaud’s said, “Before we create our wax replicas, we conduct extensive research and surveys. We only select individuals who not only demonstrate potential in their activities but individuals who receive a lot of love, interest and respect from the locals. Lee Min Ho is not only an actor with top popularity but has shown he has the makings of the next generation hallyu star.”
The representative also added on Lee Min Ho’s selection saying, “It’s largely due to the ‘Lee Min Ho fever’ that’s blowing in China. We had countless requests from fans all over the world to create a Lee Min Ho figurine and taking over 6 months to produce, we decided to select Shanghai as the city we would exhibit the repilica.”
For his replica’s creation, Lee Min Ho had to pose smiling for over three hours, which proved a bit painful, as he joked, “I may be smiling but I’m not laughing”, while the figurine’s producers joked, “Since Lee Min Ho is so tall, the cost for the figurine is going to be high.”

A wax figure of Lee Min Ho will be exhibited at the Madame Tussauds Museum
A wax figure of Lee Min Ho will be exhibited at the Madame Tussauds Museum.
On August 24, Starhaus Entertainment, Lee’s agency, says a wax figure of Lee will be exhibited at the Madame Tussauds Museum in Shanghai, China, in April next year. All staff from the Madame Tussauds Museum in the UK and China have already visited Korea to measure Lee’s body size and discuss about clothing concept and pose design for the wax figure.
The Madame Tussauds Museum is one of the most famous museums in the world, which has a history of a hundred years. It has thirteen branches all around the world in such cities as London, New York, Hong Kong, and Hollywood. Because it only exhibits wax figures of historical and important figures, it’s an honor to be part of the list.
Wax figures of such people as Queen Elizabeth, U.S. President Barack Obama, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, and the British soccer star David Beckham have been exhibited at the museum.
A spokesperson for the Madame Tussauds Museum says, “We select local celebrities who are popular and highly respected in the areas. Lee Min Ho is not only one of the most popular actors in Asia but also a big Hallyu star.”
Lee is currently playing the role of Choi Young in SBS TV’s drama series Faith.
The viewing rate of SBS TV’s new drama series Faith has been slightly increased.
On August 22, AGB Nielsen Media Research reported that the fourth episode of Faith, which aired on August 21, recorded viewer ratings of 11.5%. It’s 1.2% higher than the third episode’s (10.3%).
In the episode, Choi Young (played by Lee Min Ho) tells King Gong Min (played by Ryu Duk Hwan) that he used to be a member of Jeok Wol and why he wants to leave the palace. Jeok Wol is a group of warriors who fight to protect Goryeo regardless of their origins. However, the king who took power at that time not only insulted Jeok Wol but also ordered a female subordinate to take off her clothes because he was hooked on liquor and sex.
Choi Min Soo, who makes a cameo appearance as a leader of Jeok Wol in the series, also attracts a lot of attention. Choi gets stabbed by the king as he tries to save the female subordinate. However, he dies swearing allegiance to Goryeo. Choi Young is outraged at this but gets forced to swear allegiance to the king, who killed his leader. He reveals that he has always been loyal to the kingdom but hasn’t always been sincere.
Ki Cheol also starts to stand against King Gong Min by attacking Eun Soo (played by Kim Hee Sun).
MBC TV’s Golden Time recorded viewer ratings of 14.6% and KBS 2TV’s Haeundae Lovers recorded 9.3%.

Ever since Dancehall Artist Ishawna hijacked Recording Artist Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” for her “Equal Rights” single in 2017, we were on the lookout for a co-sign and possible collaboration between the two. It took a while, but Ed Sheeran acknowledged Ishawna’s track during a Radio Interview, and shared that he reached out to the Dancehall Artist. After all that time, we finally get a collaboration, and it’s called, “Brace It“!
Produced by Skatta Burrell, Ishawna, and Don Corleon/Don Corleonie, “Brace It” mixes Pop and Dancehall from two different Artists from two very different worlds. Ed Sheeran is encouraged by Ishawna to “wine pon mi good up“, and the two have fun on the track. Pretty interesting to hear Ed speak a lil Patois (“I nah go diss yuhnever”), but overall we expect this track to make its rounds in the coming days.
Check out the track below.


Editor’s Note: The following was written by Keith Feltenstein.
In our next “Versus” round up, we have two mind bending illusionists! In one corner, we have David Blaine. And across from him in the other corner, we have Criss Angel. Two dangerous men who can bend time and space, and excel at street performances. Tricks that will amaze you and keep you wondering! So with that said who would be the better illusionist? We will let you decide!
David Blaine (born David Blaine White; April 4, 1973) is an American magician, illusionist and endurance artist. He is best known for his high-profile feats of endurance, and has made his name as a performer of street and close-up magic. He has performed all over the world and has set and broken several world records.
On May 19, 1997, Blaine’s first television special, “David Blaine: Street Magic” aired on NBC. According to the New York Daily News: “Blaine can lay claim to his own brand of wizardry. The magic he offers in tonight’s show operates on an uncommonly personal level.” When asked about his performance style, David explained, “I’d like to bring magic back to the place it used to be 100 years ago.” Time magazine commented, “his deceptively low-key, ultracool manner leaves spectators more amazed than if he’d razzle-dazzled.” The concept of focusing on spectator reactions changed the way that magic has been shown on television. The New York Times wrote: “He’s taken a craft that’s been around for hundreds of years and done something unique and fresh with it.” Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller stated: “The biggest breakthrough done in our lifetime was David Blaine’s Street Magic, where his idea was to do really simple tricks but to concentrate… to turn the camera around on the people watching instead of the people doing. So to make the audience watch the audience, which that first special Street Magic, is the best TV magic special ever done and really, really does break new ground.” Many people watched the show.
In Magic Man, Blaine is shown traveling across the country, entertaining unsuspecting pedestrians in Atlantic City, Compton, Dallas, the Mojave Desert, New York City, and San Francisco, recorded by a small crew with handheld cameras. Jon Racherbaumer commented: “Make no mistake about it, the focus of this show, boys and girls, is not Blaine. It is really about theatrical proxemics; about the show-within-a-show and the spontaneous, visceral reactions of people being astonished.” USA Today called Blaine the “hottest name in magic right now”.
Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos (born December 19, 1967), better known by the stage name Criss Angel, is an American magician and illusionist. Angel began his career in New York City, before moving his base of operations to the Las Vegas Valley. He is known for starring in the television and stage show “Criss Angel Mindfreak,” and his live performance illusion show Criss Angel Believe in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil at the Luxor casino in Las Vegas. The show generated $150 million in tourist revenue to Las Vegas in 2010. He also starred in the television series, “Believe” on Spike TV, the television show “Phenomenon”, and the 2014 stage show, “Criss Angel Magicjam”.
Angel has been on primetime television for more hours than any other magician in history, between his television series and various specials on cable and network television. He also holds multiple world-records made during his magic performances, and was named Magician of the Decade in 2009 and Magician of the Century in 2010 by the International Magicians Society. In addition to his career as an illusionist, Angel was the lead singer for his eponymous industrial band Angeldust, which released five albums between 1998 and 2003. He also authored the book Mindfreak: Secret Revelations.
On October 20, 2002, Angel performed in the ABC Family television special named Criss Angel Mindfreak: Postmodern illusionist, an hour-long performance and tribute to Harry Houdini. The special aired again on December 24, 2002 on Channel 4 in the UK. The Birmingham Evening Mail reviewed the show, writing, “Criss Angel is currently making a name for himself as a more provocative, darker alternative to [other illusionists]. He walks the streets of New York, hypnotising passers-by, turning cups of take-away coffee into cockroaches and suspending himself from the ceiling by inserting hooks into his back. The piece de resistance of all these mind games is an update of the Houdini underwater trick – an attempt to stay in a (cell) tank of water for 24 hours, padlocked and restrained. All seems to be going well, until the filter system breaks down and the water begins to heat up.” On October 31, 2003, SciFi Channel aired the one-hour special “Supernatural” starring Angel. Kate O’Hare said of the special that, “Filmed in part at Universal Theme Park in Orlando, FL, “Supernatural” finds Angel crawling up buildings, passing a quarter through his skin, spontaneously combusting and having otherworldly creatures burst from his chest.” When asked about his process in creating television specials, Angel said that, “I like to have my hand in everything on my TV specials. I’m the executive producer; I direct it; I create it. I write all the music for my TV specials and my live performances. It’s on my label. I write it; I produce it.”During the special Angel performed stunts including lighting himself on fire and making a tarantula emerge from a pedestrian’s soda can. In 2003, Angel was also featured in the two-hour TBS special Made in Japan.
In early 2003, Angel performed at the release of the new branding for Miller Lite beer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the 80th anniversary of Houdini’s last performance in that city. For the performance, he was suspended ten stories in the air and bound in a straitjacket, from which he escaped. He also performed an illusion at Ozzfest in 2005. During this period Angel also earned money selling signed merchandise, making up to $50,000 a day.
With that all said who would you like to see win the master of magic? Would it be David Blaine, or would it be Criss Angel? We want you, the fans, to decide which of these two men are master illusionists. Vote now! Make a difference!

The , formally called the and also known as the , is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit. Each year’s event celebrates the theme of that year’s Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night since guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit. Each year the event also has honorary celebrity event day chairpersons.
|The Most talked about TRIO on the Red Carpet. So much that we missed Fashion.|
That’s the background on the event. The 2015 theme, “China: Through the Looking Glass” offering more of the “Through the Looking Glass” portion of the the,e then China…with the most highly popular celebrities that is. So you have Beyoncé, Kim K, and Beyoncé who were all hoping to win the “see through gown” of the night award. As I love a theme and sticking to it, I also love CLASS in all forms. The dresses of Beyoncé and J. Lo were a bit more left than right, so I cannot place those looks with the theme. The simply wore a dress. You already know that the trio have received world spread publicity because if this and that’s probably more off what they wanted than anything. Besides, Beyoncé (and I am a fan) is still trying to re-coop from the rumors of her marriage flopping; Kim K, even after marrying Kanye, it’s still trying to ‘Break The Interneet’ which she felled at last time to the hands of Solange (Bey’s sister); and J-Lo wants us to believe that she is still in her 20s. After all of those failed relationships, that’s impossible to think. So anyways, on to what actually fit the part. I like these looks and they were YESSSSSes for me.


Born in 1969 in San Mateo, CA, blues guitarist Eric Lindell spent much of his youth in nearby Santa Rosa and Forestville. Although he worked as a baker by day, Lindell turned his focus to music in the evenings, honing his chops as a competent vocalist and guitarist by playing in bars around Sonoma County. He produced his debut album, Bring It Back, in 1996, and in 1999 he won the John Lennon Songwriting Competition with his original piece "Kelly Ann." That same year, Lindell decided to move to New Orleans to pursue music in a different location.
The move was a beneficial one, as Lindell soon hooked up with Galactic's Stanton Moore and begin playing shows around town, frequently enlisting drummers Johnny Vidocovich and Harold Brown (from War) to sit in. He issued a self-released, self-titled record in 2002, but the following year saw him move to Sparco Records, where he released both Piety Street Session and EP Volume 1. Tragic Magic followed in 2005 and sparked serious interest from Alligator Records, which released Change in the Weather in 2006 and Low on Cash, Rich in Love in 2008. Lindell continued his prolific output with 2009's Gulf Coast Highway, another album of blue-eyed soul and confident guitar work.


Gorgeous Aussie super star, Nicole Kidman fulfilled her dreams of a fairytale wedding and is besotted with spunky new husband, Keith Urban. All Australians took delight in their love story and wished them lifelong happiness on their Big Day in Sydney in June 2006.
But the question back then was: What will happen when the euphoria of the wedding and romantic honeymoon is over and the newlyweds face a barrage of real-life challenges?
The first challenge was initiating Keith into the role of step dad to her two children, Isabella and Connor, then aged 13 and 11.
The idolised country singer was 38 when he finally got hitched and previously had little to do with children and instant fatherhood came as a shock.
When the couple had baby Sunday Rose in July 2008, their parenting challenges were compounded. Adjusting to the demands of a baby as well as older children could easily have sent the freewheeling star into a tailspin.
However it seemed the former wild lad was committed to changing his habits and had checked himself into the Betty Ford Centre in California in October 2006, just months after his marriage, and in January 2007 publicly declared that he had completed rehabilitation.
It must have been tough for the newlyweds to confront the demon of his drug addiction and clearly it was his priority to get clean before he embarked on the responsibility of fathering a baby.
Just as other famous dads such as Brad Pitt are revelling in fatherhood, the country crooner’s heart has been melted by the irresistible charms of a newborn. He has defied the cynics and shown he was ready to settle down into family life. However no doubt it has been a steep learning curve.
A radiant Nicole Kidman, now 42, is clearly devoted to her baby daughter, who’s just turned one. After a spectacular movie career, the acclaimed actor is enjoying her happiest role and making fellow Australians proud.
The couple continue to face the delicate business of dealing with her ex, the legendary Tom Cruise and his partner, Katie Holmes in juggling access visits of the two teenagers. As all divorced parents know, this requires flexibility and the ability to negotiate. It can take years to learn these skills.
Like all of us, the couple lugged their emotional baggage into their marriage. Nicole has some deep emotional wounds from her painful divorce and, depending on how much healing she did in the years between, she brought a high degree of vulnerability into her second marriage. Keith is no doubt required to offer lashings of understanding, consolation and reassurance.
Nicole was also insecure about his past sexual experiences as much as he was rattled by her former love life with Tom. In the three years since their wedding, they needed to cut all psychological ties with past partners and not succumb to curiosity or comparisons. Instead they needed to focus totally on each other while they strengthen their sacred bond of intimacy.
Perhaps the most serious challenge the couple will continue to face is Keith’s past drug addiction to cocaine and alcohol. As addicts know, it is never really past. Staying clean and sober is a daily battle. Does Keith possess the motivation and support to kick his destructive habits? If not, the sweet and fragile Nic is in for a rocky ride.
When cravings take over, addicts are self-centred and obsessive. The desire for the drug obliterates all other priorities, even devotion to a new wife and baby.
Former girlfriend, Laura Sigler has told media that Urban has an addict’s personality; an insatiable desire for the next high. With intoxication comes other irresponsible action. She claims he was unfaithful several times during their eight-year relationship.
This will be Nicole’s nerve racking challenge; having a monogamous marriage with the scruffy Bad Boy of country music.
By all accounts, while growing up, she was role-modelled a functional, faithful marriage by her parents Antony and Janelle.
Nicole has often expressed her strong moral values and would be devastated by adultery. Sadly, she is on shaky ground here. However Keith appears to be genuine in his commitment to reform.
Next challenge. Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are bankable business brands under immense pressure to maintain their status through public visibility. For her, it means churning out movies and for him, it means a punishing touring schedule of concerts and festivals across the States and turning out quality albums and hit singles. The award-winning singer-songwriter has produced several solo albums, which have sold more than five million copies.
How will they juggle their demanding schedules and egos? Will they graciously play the support role when the other one is in the spotlight, the way Keith did at the 2006 Shanghai Film Festival (when Nicole was feted as a mega star and the locals didn’t know him from a Four X stubby!)
Nicole would be smart to keep close to her volatile man by emulating fellow Hollywood star, Gwyneth Paltrow, wife of Coldplay rocker, Chris Martin, who is happy to put aside her ego and follow the band with her two children in tow.
Girlfriend, Renee Zellweger has warned Nicole about the strain of touring commitments, after her marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney crashed and burned after just four months.
Lastly, what about the compatibility of these two Aussie icons? Granted they share the common ground of growing up in Australia however Nicole’s upbringing was prim and proper while Keith was a cheeky kid who dragged his guitar around the humble township of Caboolture, with a burning ambition in his young heart to move to Nashville and become a country star. It is a dream he has fulfilled since lobbing in the States at 25 and getting his breaks with country greats such as the Dixie Chicks and Garth Brooks.
It is a dream he is not about to give up, even for the most beautiful, successful, famous and wealthy actress the Land Down Under has ever produced.
And what about Nicole? Like many actors, when she is not playing a role, our Nic is not sure who she is. She is frail and insecure under the façade and maybe Keith, a headstrong larrikin, battling his own demons, will be the ultimate challenge. But, like all Australians, I hope that their powerful love will conquer all.


In 1972, John Fogerty left Creedence Clearwater Revival and their label, Fantasy Records. After he released his hit solo album Centerfield (1985), label head Saul Zaentz of Fantasy Records sued Fogerty for plagiarizing himself. Zaentz claimed that the single “The Old Man Down the Road” infringed upon “Run Through the Jungle,” a song that he had originally recorded with CCR under contract with Fantasy Records in 1970. Though he was not found guilty, it’s pretty novel that Fogerty was sued for sounding too much like himself!
He knows how many kids his listener has. He knows where his listener lives. He knows what the weather is doing in her town! He goes on to say, “Sometimes my music editor says to me, ‘What do you think? Do you think Doris will like this one?’”


Having been all around the world twice since her last visit, Corinne Bailey Rae assured her Leeds fans that she was “glad to be back” in her home town. The soul singer played an intimate gig at the HiFi club back in May as part of the Live At Leeds festival. She returned last week to showcase her latest album The Heart Speaks Whispers.
Wearing a shimmery turquoise jumpsuit, she launched into her first song Nina Simone-style, raising her arms and willing her voice to spread as far as it could. Her outfit teamed with the red, green and purple lights that illuminated the organ at the back of the town hall complimented the futurist theme that runs throughout her music videos for the new album.
She started with her new material and her audience was already familiar with the lyrics, those at the front even spurring on dance moves amongst the standing crowd. A few songs later Corinne took out her acoustic guitar and strummed along to ‘Breathless’ and ’Til It Happens To You’, which was the show’s best display of her creative talent.
Unfortunately it was difficult to hear the lyrics to other songs, as the band overwhelmed her voice making it hard to tease out what she was singing. It gave the impression that the town hall [capitalised?] venue was too large to really appreciate the performance or that the sound engineers underestimated the acoustics of the building.
Her cover of Bob Marley’s ‘Is This Love’ was a high point, a personal soul-felt tribute to the reggae legend that naturally erupted into a huge audience sing along. Nonetheless the dedicated audience was singing and dancing throughout the show. She played her big hit ‘Put Your Records On’ towards the end of the set, but it didn’t feel like anyone was waiting for her to blast out this top tune. Unlike the HiFi festival gig, the crowd went along to the town hall for her new album, rather than the old chart-toppers she released in the noughties.
Speaking about her songwriting, she told the audience she preferred writing in the spring and felt that her lyrics reflected the seasons and “a time of transformation”. She joked about the terrible weather in the North of England, which was met with cheers of agreement from the audience.
Always ready to interact with her fans, towards the end she asked the crowd to get involved with her song ‘Trouble Sleeping’ with the refrain ‘don’t say that I’m falling in love’ echoing through Leeds Town Hall.
Her band must not go unmentioned. She allowed her guitarist a solo that could only have been influenced by Santana. Next her pianist indulged in a piano break during ‘Breathless’, which had a cool spacey feel to it. The sounds of the band playing solo were terrific, but when combined and reaching a forte often drowned out the singer’s voice — unless you were lucky enough to stand right at the front.

“Does Industry Baby have trumpet?” is a question many fans have been asking. The answer is a resounding yes. The song’s trumpets and piano underpin the melody and are an excellent accompaniment to Noga’s singing and performance. The track’s ten-piece ensemble also contributes to the spirited vibe. While the original composition may not be a trumpet ballad, Noga has reimagined and reenergized this old favorite. After a lengthy hiatus, Noga has returned to the studio and recorded the second full-length release since he first released the song.
The new track is Lil Nas X’s second single from Montero, and features a verse from Jack Harlow. “Industry Baby” is produced by Take a Daytrip and Kanye West, and is the latest single from the highly anticipated debut album Montero, which is due out later this year. The song was written and produced by the latter and has been making the rounds on the radio since its release in April.
The video for “Industry Baby” features Jack Harlow on the rapping part. The video is an homage to the song’s rap origins in the industrial revolution. The video was directed by Jon Landau, a former NBC news anchor. It was co-produced by Take a Daytrip and aims to be the first song on Montero. It will be available later this year.
“Industry Baby” is the fourth single from Montero. It features Nas’ vocals and the voice of Jack Harlow, a rising star in the hip hop industry. It also features a chorus of Kanye West and Take a Daytrip. The track’s release date is still unknown, but it is due later this year. It is a powerful song, and it will be a hit.
Another new song on YouTube is “Montero”. The song has become a hit for Lil Nas X. It is a follow-up to the aforementioned song. The video was produced by the artist’s manager during “peak pandemic” and it is his first single on YouTube. The rap star’s career has only just begun. And this is no coincidence. There’s no doubt that the rap artist is a vital pop star.
“Montero” has been a hit on YouTube and is currently the second most watched music video of all time. However, Lil Nas X has managed to go from one-hit wonder to a mainstream superstar. With two No. 1 hits in a row, he is a rising pop star. This is a great example of the power of social media in the music industry. With the recent release of his new album, he has become a major star.
As of June 2014, “Montero” has been released as a follow-up to the song “Montero.” The new song has been a hit for the singer, but it has been an even bigger hit for the band. The video has become a viral sensation, spawning thousands of videos and songs. With its videos, Lil Nas X has become an overnight sensation on the internet. He has made a name for himself as an artist and has a lot of potential in the future.


I do hope that all the Sonic fans are familiar with this amazing Dirty b-side, ‘Genetic.’ If not, please familiarize yourselves. I believe the track was originally included on one of the singles, but it’s subsequently appeared on the miles-deep Dirty Deluxe thingy. ‘Genetic’ is another amazing Lee song, kind of like a ‘Mote’ equivalent, wrapped up in Dirty-ish, feedback-y clothing. I’m sorry it didn’t make the record – instead of, say, ‘Nic Fit’ or ‘Swimsuit Issue.’ But then, I’m always confused by how many Lee songs get marginalized. I look forward to the rumored release of Ranaldo’s ‘singer-songwriter album’ (sorry, Tron!) this very year.


‘Can I be me?’ This is the central question in both Nick Broomfield’s new documentary about American singing sensation Whitney Houston and the one that would haunt her herself under the punishing glares of celebrity and fame.
Similar to the Oscar-winning ‘Amy’, ‘Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me’ reveals the contradictions of a life blessed with talent and the demands put upon it by those closest to her. Using extensive interviews with her family, entourage and security detail , also intercut with previously unseen home video footage, a fractured talent emerges – one caught between the competing demands of the music business, her fans and her culture.
…Nick Broomfield’s documentary uncovers the darkness of Whitney Houston’s isolation.
Far from being a saccharine’d celebration of her musical career, Nick Broomfield’s documentary uncovers the darkness of Whitney Houston’s isolation and shines a light upon the dependencies she would use to quiet them down. Remarkably frank in its tone, and patient in its questioning, this is a documentary that succeeds in building an intimate portrait of a rare talent at every stage of her life.
Despite this story’s well publicised destination and flash-bulb’d ending, ‘Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me?’ is a sober and thoughtful documentary which approaches its subject in a much more sensitive way than was afforded to her in life.

Vince is currently based in Miami, overseeing the day-to-day operations of Valholla Entertainment including artist management, digital marketing, music licensing and publishing, video production and apparel merchandising. Separating business and personal downtime is difficult for this peer-proclaimed “workaholic” who continuously immerses himself in movies, entertainment and technology. He aspires to make significant contributions to the research and treatment of muscular dystrophy, a disease which impacted his father prior to his passing. When asked what would be one thing impossible for him to give up, Vince simply replies, “My dreams.”

U2 announced last night they are going to be having a residency in Las Vegas at the new MSG Sphere venue. Watch the creative announcement below:
U2’s Wide and Enduring Appeal
The extended cut highlights U2’s intergenerational and international appeal. Rock and Roll has struggled to maintain its cultural cachet with the rise of TikTok and Instagram Reels. Bands like Coldplay have leaned into collaborating with acts like The Chainsmokers to maintain relevance. However U2 transcends this with a robust back catalog and intergenerational success from Joshua Tree in 1987 to All That You Can’t Leave Behind in 2001.
Larry Mullen Jr. Takes Time Off
This is the first time U2 will be playing live to fans since 2019 and they will be doing it without drummer Larry Mullen Jr. In a Washington Post article Bono revealed that Mullen Jr. has spine issues he needs surgery for. Dutch drummer Bram van der Berg will fill-in for Mullen Jr.


Mary Chapin Carpenter.
Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers
They were on stage in The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville for the opening night of their Four Voices Tour.
The concert was two hours of harmony, addressing issues of life situations and politics, and enthusiasm about performing together and enjoying the response of the audience.
One of the interesting aspects of the performance was hearing them share their songs, like Mary Chapin Carpenter’s “The Hard Way” and the Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine.”Sometimes all would sing and sometimes each one would sing a different stanza of the song.
Having just started to learn to play the mandolin, I was intrigued by the range of mandolins that Amy Ray played throughout the concert.
Each one sang at least one solo song, with the others either playing backup or sitting in chairs on stage and enjoying listening.
“It’s great that we’re such fans of each other,” Emily Saliers told the crowd.
Carpenter’s lastest album, The Things That We Are Made Of, was on sale before the concert along with tour T-shirts and concert posters. During the concert, both Baez and Saliers promoted their upcoming albums.
Often the musicians had only to play two or three notes and the sellout audience was shouting, as they knew the song.
Between every song, crew members would bring instruments on stage to exchange with the performers – different acoustical guitars, mandolins, an electric banjo, a tenor ukulele. For one song, all four played kazoos, and Joan played the harmonica for one song.
They performed for the two hours with no intermission.
They shared a few stories and observations between songs, but not too much talking. The primary theme was how much they enjoyed the opportunity to play together – and it showed. The four first played together for a concert benefit in 1991.
I enjoyed watching their different picking techniques and how they coordinated ending a song. Baez used finger picks on her acoustic guitar the others were more about cross picking.
They received several standing ovations. Their last song was “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” which was a top-five song for Baez in 1971. Many in the audience were singing along.
In starting the concert, Baez told the audience that they the concert was a work in progress and “what you see is what you get.” We certainly got a great concert.

At the Edinburgh Fringe in August, she staged a 5-star-winning one-off play #TimAndFreya based on the incident.


“He [Kurt Cobain] talked about how ugly he thought he was all of the time. I remember one day he looked in a mirror and almost shed a few tears because he was so uncomfortable in his own skin. He was really insecure. This photo was one of the only ones he’s ever liked of himself. He told me he liked it because he thought he looked good. Kurt rarely looked at a photo of himself and felt he was attractive. He kept that photo in his wallet for awhile, I think. He was proud of it.”

How Music Works is a beautiful book written by David Byrne. Beautiful is not really the right word. His book is more like a divine intervention in the world of music. You can’t really call it a biography as there is a lot of influence and teaching of music involved in it. Nevertheless, it is said to be one of the best write-ups of the year. He explains the way music has changed over time and the different people who have made a difference to music. He has also made references of the different geological, cultural and social changes and the toll it took on the music created by him and others. He has also references of ‘Talking Heads’, a group with whom he made music and made the money
David Byrne was born in Scotland on May 14, 1952. The family moved to Maryland when Byrne was 9 years old. He started his music career in high school with duo Bizadi and Kehoe. Later on, Frantz and his girlfriend Weymouth joined the gang. They named their band ‘Talking Heads’. They played their first gig in 1975. Together they made great music. Jerry Harrison, who was a multi-instrumentalist, joined in 1977. Their band made big songs like ‘April Showers’, ’96 Tears’ and Frank Sinatra songs. In 1988, David Byrne decided he wanted to go on his own. It took the band three years to announce that they were no longer a team and they had broken up.
Even while he was in the band, Byrne took outside projects. He never felt shy of experimenting with different forms of music. His first went solo with ‘Rei Moi’ after leaving the band. Different forms of music like Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and even dance forms like merengue, samba and mambo found a place in his album. He gave some really good hits like ‘Girls on my Mind’ and ‘The Cowboy Mambo’
Besides ‘How Music Works’, David Byrne has written a number of other books. His hits include ‘Bicycle Diaries’, ‘Arboretum’, ‘EEEI’, ‘The New Sins’, ‘What Is It?’, ‘Your Action World’, ‘Strange Ritual’ and ‘True Stories’. Some of the albums he made are ‘Love This Giant’, ‘Here Lies Love’, ‘Everything that Happens Will Happen On This Tour’, ‘Everything That Happens Will Happen Today’ among the rest
‘How Music Works’ is a book written in a way a common man who has no musical background or never understood the depth of music is written. It gives you an in-depth knowledge of music without getting the reader bored. Here, David Byrne, writes about the ups and downs music has brought him. He talks about having the freedom to create music as well as the pressures of giving hits. He talks about the crazy behaviour of fans around and seeing genius people make their music. He has written about the passion, fervour and the life that music has given him and the calm and serene feeling he felt thru the music he created.
Wasn’t really surprised that when the book was published on September 12, 2012, it was one of ‘Amazon best Books of the Month’

Mamba is a reference to Bryant’s nickname Black Mamba; the mamba is “any of several chiefly arboreal venomous green or black elapid snakes (genus Dendroaspis) of sub-Saharan Africa.” The word came into English in the early 19th century from the Zulu imamba..
Is Kobe Bryant a billionaire?
Bryant built his first fortune on the back of two decades of rich playing contracts and endorsement deals. His path to becoming a billionaire was going to be paved in the investment world, and his first big score, BodyArmor, represented roughly one-third of his net worth.
What kind of cars do Kobe Bryant have?
On some days, he’d drive himself. In 2009, he had four options for what car to use: a Ferrari, Range Rover, an Escalade, and Bentley Coupe. During Reilly’s visit, Bryant elected to drive the Ferrari, reportedly his favorite.

Former NBA star Kobe Bryant will open the Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California, as a multisport training center for young athletes. The Sports Academy initially opened in 2016 and currently supports 50,000 athletes but the center will rebrand under Bryant and potentially open new facilities in the future.
Why was Mamba removed from academy?

Ever read celebrity gossip?
Most people seem entertained by it. There’s often a sort of schadenfreude to be had from experiencing the troubles of another from a distance. From a drunken spat at an expensive restaurant to the occasional high-profile court case, there’s a public appetite for stories of substance-fueled bad behavior by the rich and famous.
You don’t hear about the successes as much.
Which is a shame, because addiction is a great equalizer: Rich or poor, famous or obscure, it’s a condition which doesn’t discriminate. A famous, award-winning movie star who reaches their bottom and climbs back out often hits the same points on their journey as anyone who’s ever battled addiction themselves.
Here’s seven examples of famous people who took the steps out of the dark tunnel of addiction into sobriety. Sure, some of them are still struggling; a few might end up on the wrong side of the headlines again. But there’s something to learn from each of them:
- Ben Affleck: A multiple Academy Award winner, Affleck has also struggled with alcohol abuse throughout his career. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Affleck states his drinking ramped up after his marriage began to fall apart. After several stints in rehab and a recent relapse in 2019, Affleck continues to work on his recovery while continuing his career as an actor, producer and director.
- Drew Barrymore: Born into a Hollywood family, Barrymore was a film star by age seven … and was addicted to drugs and survived a suicide attempt by age 12. After spending time in a mental health facility at 13, Barrymore successfully turned her life around and started her own production company at age 20. Now, Barrymore is a successful entrepreneur, actress and author.
- Jamie Lee Curtis: A former “scream queen” thanks to her memorable debut in Halloween, Curtis has branched out into becoming an author of children’s books. In a 2019 interview with Variety, Curtis talked about first using the opioid painkiller Vicodin after a minor surgery in 1989, which led to addiction. Reaching sobriety in 1999, Curtis has since become a strong advocate for recovery. “I was just terrified that someone in the recovery community was going to betray my trust,” she told Variety. “But it is my experience that doesn’t really happen and that my fear was unfounded.”
- Robert Downey Jr.: One of the most famous and talented actors in the world, Downey’s first experience with drugs came at age eight courtesy of his filmmaker father. Downey’s performances earned him rave reviews (and an Oscar nomination in 1992), but his behavior – fueled by increasingly out-of-control substance use – overshadowed the strength of his career. After multiple stints in treatment and a 12-month period in state prison, Downey achieved sobriety in 2002 and immediately relaunched his career.
- Zac Efron: This Disney Channel star became an overnight success when he was still a teenager. However, like many actors, he found the pressures of fame too much to bear and turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the stress. In early 2013, Efron entered a treatment program and became sober later that year. He has continued to make appearances in movies and on television.
- Jon Hamm: Best known for playing enigmatic, hard-drinking ad man Don Draper on Mad Men, Hamm’s real-life drinking was serious enough for him to enter rehab in 2015. “People go for all sorts of reasons, not all of which are chemically related. But there’s something to be said for pulling yourself out of the grind for a period of time and concentrating on recalibrating the system. And it works. It’s great,” Hamm told Vanity Fair magazine about his time in alcohol treatment.
- Daniel Radcliffe: The star of the Harry Potter film franchise has always been straightforward about his battle with alcohol addiction. Starting his acting career at age 12, the pressures of fame slowly ate at him, telling USA Today there was “no blueprint for starting young and working stuff out.” After several attempts, Radcliffe achieved sobriety and has continued to perform on stage and screen while working on his recovery.
Looking for a Common Thread
It’s worth nothing some common themes which runs through many celebrity testimonies about substance abuse:
- It tended to start while they were young.
- It was often in response to career pressure.
- They needed multiple tries to achieve sobriety.
They’re themes which are true for so many. It’s been established that substance abuse in early years is a major risk for developing a substance disorder later in life. Stress, too, is also a major risk factor for substance abuse.
Finally, every person’s journey to sobriety is different. Addiction is a complex, difficult situation to understand and for many, relapse is part of the process. The thing is, though, relapsing isn’t the end.
It’s an opportunity to learn. Instead of focusing on a temporary setback (and the associated shame), a recovery provider can help you develop a positive, healthy mindset which allows you to build on slips and move forward. Plus, rehab allows a person to be in a community of like-minded people focused on the goal of living a healthy, happier life.
About that community: sober living houses may be the single most important tool in successful, long-term addiction recovery. A sober living house allows a recovering person a safe place to rediscover independence, forge new healthy connections, and stay away from potential relapse triggers.
