Word on the curb is that Evelyn Lozada of Basketball Wives is pregnant, and she’s actually decided to quit the show to focus on being a full-time mom. At this time I can not 100% confirm or deny these rumors, but the pictures and tweets below may tell the story; and of course time will tell soon enough….
As I told you in an earlier post, Ev was rumored to be featured on the new season of Dancing With the Stars, and I must say I was a bit disappointed when she wasn’t included in the line-up. Maybe this could be a plausible reason why! We’ll see come second trimester time, lol! Stay wired to Mahogany Vogue for more updates on this story.

LOCHTE PEES the TRUTH
It’s a good thing the swimming pools at the London Olympics don’t have that chemical that turns your pee blue, because Ryan Lochte would have been bagged a long time ago.
Lochte caught up with Ryan Seacrest on Friday, and the swimmer was asked point blank whether he pees in the pool. Lochte responded rather candidly.
“Of course. We always do,” he said.
Lochte admitted his urination tendencies have carried over to London. Don’t worry, though. He only pees in the pool during warm-ups, and doesn’t do so during the actual races. The gold medalist has an interesting theory when it comes to the whole pool-peeing process. “There’s something about getting into chlorine water that you just automatically go,” Lochte said.
Well, you’ve got to appreciate his honesty. (click here for Lochte live statement)


Binance (www.Binance.com), the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, today announced that it has kicked off an exclusive, multi-year NFT partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game. Through this partnership, Binance will launch a global campaign aiming to give Ronaldo’s fans an introduction to Web3 with a compelling entry point into the world of NFTs.
Over the course of the agreement, Cristiano Ronaldo and Binance will create a series of collections for sale exclusively on the Binance NFT platform. The first collection will be released later this year and will feature designs created in collaboration with Ronaldo.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world’s best footballers, and has transcended sport to become an icon in multiple industries. He has amassed one of the world’s most dedicated fan bases through his authenticity, talent, and charity work,” said Binance Founder and CEO “CZ” (Changpeng Zhao). “We are thrilled to provide his fans with exclusive engagement opportunities to connect with Ronaldo and own a piece of iconic sports history.”
“My relationship with the fans is very important to me, so the idea of bringing unprecedented experiences and access through this NFT platform is something that I wanted to be a part of,” said Ronaldo. “I know the fans are going to enjoy the collection as much as I do.


When news broke last year that Arnold Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with his housemaid, then kept her in his employ right up until he was confronted by his wife, Maria Shriver, I thought he was a total scum.
Sunday evening, “60 Minutes” broadcast an interview of Arnold with Leslie Stahl, and my opinion of him was transformed.
I was a never a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan to begin with, yet, strangely, I’m able to spell his last name without error or research. I never liked his thick Austrian accent; never liked his movies particularly; found him strange-looking, even. When I lived in California, I found him to be a pretty good governor, though. I appreciated his efforts as a moderate Republican, even though I am not a Republican. His heart and mind were in the right place: he loved California – the state in which all of his dreams had come true- and he wanted to play a part in saving it from ruin.
Stahl’s interview revolved around her trying to comprehend how Schwarzenegger could have done what he did, then keep on doing it. “She’s a good person,” he said of Mildred Baena, his former housekeeper and mother of their son, Joseph. “Taking care of them (financially, after he found out he’d fathered the boy) was the right thing to do.”
Arnold came from humble beginnings: he was a farm boy from Thal, Austria (why do I KNOW this? I’m NOT a fan!) and was son to an abusive father, who regularly beat him with a belt and other “creative” methods, according to Arnold. The old man (Arnold learned long after the fact), had been one of Hitler’s Brown Shirts, and, according to Arnold, his father left the Brown Shirts after the war feeling like a “loser” (which might explain the vicious beatings of his son or, at least made him perfect for the Brown Shirts in the first place).
To the outside observer, Schwarzenegger had it all. He truly has lived The American Dream. From champion bodybuilder, to A-list actor, to governor of the most important state in the nation, Schwarzenegger incited envy and inspiration in the hearts and minds of countless fans worldwide. He’s a man who has achieved everything to the highest level, even his greatest failure: gambling away his family unity in service to his ego, or perhaps in subservience to his wounds.
Last night, I felt a kinship to Arnold. We all have made mistakes in our lives and perhaps didn’t even know what drove us to make them. There is a certain broken place inside each one of us that operates on automatic pilot; sometimes, right up to the point of no return.
When Arnold admitted his mistakes and took responsibility for his faulty character, he became human, not the superhuman we’ve made him out to be. When the camera lingered on his face and revealed the pain of the greatest loss of his life, he was just a simple farm boy once again – one among the masses experiencing the inevitable suffering that life brings.
What Arnold revealed was vulnerability and that’s what made him seem the most human. He showed us that, after all, he was not only a success machine; he was just like us. I saw a man wounded by his background; a man who’d taught himself to not linger in his losses. Instead, he mastered the art of trudging on like a plowhorse to his next success.
His forfeiture of his wife and family, however, is one loss that Arnold will never be able to surmount. He knows it. You could see it in his eyes. The most pervasive and incorrigible mistake of his life clings to him, like the sticky residue of cobwebs.
He has had it all and now, he has lost it all. Life has returned him to a balance point of zero. How will he live with what he’s lost? Time will tell, I suppose.
Arnold Schwarzenegger reminded me that vulnerability is one of the greatest of human qualities. It is an equalizer; a stabilizer; a compass born of surrender, whose needle always points in the direction of higher self-knowing.
I now love Arnold Schwarzenegger, not because he showed himself to be more human. But because he has shown me how I might do the same.


I am writing today to announce the closure of the New Mexico Independent. After three and a half years of operation in New Mexico, the board of the American Independent News Network, has decided to shift publication of its news…
On the Val Kilmer beat: Actor says he’ll be governor — if he runs
Movie star Val Kilmer says he believes the office of governor is his if he wants it.
“If I run, I’m going to be the next governor,” he was quoted by The Associated Press as saying.
Kilmer said he hasn’t decided whether to run. If he does, he said, he’ll benefit from being an actor because people will want to meet him.
But, the news service’s Deborah Baker quoted Kilmer as saying he isn’t thinking about running because of his fame.
“I’m just looking for ways to be contributive,” the news service quoted him as saying, “and if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I’ll run.”
Kilmer said he’s not a politician and isn’t “going to try to become one,” adding that he has “no interest in being governor of New Mexico for… fame and power.”
It’s not the first time the actor, who lives on a ranch near Pecos, has sounded confident about his chances if he jumps into the 2010 gubernatorial race. He was quoted by the Boston Globe last month as saying a lot of actors become politicians, “and they always win, so I guess we’ll see.”
Though Kilmer has talked openly to the national media for months about considering the gubernatorial race, this week is the first that he’s been politicking in New Mexico. In addition to his interview with the New Mexico Associated Press reporter, he appeared on the floor of the state House of Representatives with Speaker Ben Lujan earlier this week.

Canelo Alvarez Lifestyle, Net Worth, Girlfriend
Canelo Alvarez has a lot going for him. He has a fight coming up on May 4, against Daniel Jacobs too. Canelo vs Jacobs live will air on DAZN streaming media service. That will be one of the biggest fights of his life. His lifestyle, net worth, and girlfriend are also things that he is thankful for.
Mexico’s biggest boxing star has been doing a great job with boxing. He has his own identity and he is a known figure in the world of boxing. He was ranked number 43 on the Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid athletes. He is worth about $100 million.
Canelo has caught the hearts of many ladies. He has not been in many relationships at all. He was married to Marisol Gonzalez, who is a high-profile reporter for Televisa. He was with her for a while and they have Emily Alvarez, together. Then he was with Shannon de Lima, but that ended in 2017.
Canelo is full of energy and has a great body build. This is while he attracts the ladies. He is pretty tall and is 5’9”. Canelo weighs 75 kg and his measurements are 41-33-15 inches.
What does Canelo do outside the ring?
Besides having two Lamborghinis, Canelo has kind of a quiet life. He used to have a motorcycle, but he fell off of it and decided that may not be what he needs in his life. He owns a $ 6 million, six-bedroom house, in a gated community east of Del Mar.
At home, Canelo has his own crowd control methods. He knows where to go eat and hang out without being bothered by anyone. When he has the fight to prepare for, he comes up north. The street where he lives, however, is quiet and no one bothers him either.


Ranked: Top 10 Highest-Paid Celebrities
It can be hard to make money in media—but for those lucky enough to make it to the big leagues, the payoff can be astronomical .
In 2021, the world’s 10 highest-paid celebrities earned a combined $2.7 billion. Who are these high-earning entertainers, and how do they make their hundreds of millions?
Using data from Forbes, this graphic by Athul Alexander highlights the top paid entertainers around the world, based on 2021 pre-tax earnings (minus business expenses such as management fees, agent costs, etc).
The Highest-Paid Celebrities in 2021
The world’s celebrities may be well known for the media they produce, but the bulk of their earnings are made through business dealings.
First on the list is New Zealand director Peter Jackson, best known for directing, producing, and writing the screenplays for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies.
|Rank||Name||Nationality||2021 pre-tax earnings|
|1||Peter Jackson|| New Zealander||$580 million|
|2||Bruce Springsteen|| American||$435 million|
|3||Jay-Z|| American||$340 million|
|4||Dwanye “The Rock” Johnson|| American/Canadian||$270 million|
|5||Kanye West|| American||$235 million|
|6||Trey Parker and Matt Stone|| American||$210 million|
|7||Paul Simon|| American||$200 million|
|8||Tyler Perry|| American||$165 million|
|9||Ryan Tedder|| American||$160 million|
|10||Bob Dylan|| American||$130 million|
In addition to creating and directing blockbuster hits, Jackson is also the founder of the VFX studio Weta Digital, which he sold a portion of last year for a whopping $1.6 billion and the bulk of his earnings.
Second on the list is singer, songwriter, and musician Bruce Springsteen, who earned an estimated $435 million in 2021. Like Jackson, Springsteen’s earnings came from a major sale, as he sold Sony Music the rights to his entire music collection in a deal worth nearly $500 million last December.
One of the only actors on the list is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who comes in fourth place with an estimated $270 million in 2021 pre-tax earnings. But only about a quarter of his earnings came from leading roles in movies like Jungle Cruise and Red Notice, with the bulk coming from his tequila brand Teremana.
Some High-Level Trends
Taking a closer look at this list reveals a few trends worth highlighting:
- Nine out of 10 entertainers on the list are American
- Only two actors made the list, while six are musicians
- All of top 10 earners in 2021 were men
Hollywood’s gender pay gap has been a hot topic of conversation over the last few years. Research indicates that there’s about a one-million-dollar pay gap between male and female actors at the “superstar” level.
But the gender gap in the entertainment industry extends further than that—women aren’t just underpaid compared to their male counterparts, they’re also just underrepresented, especially in big-decision, behind-the-scenes roles, and may subsequently miss out on the business opportunities made available.
Women have made the top 10 earners in Forbes celebrity rankings in recent years, including Kylie Jenner from 2018-2020, Taylor Swift in 2019, and Judge Judy Sheindlin in 2018. But they were the only females in an upper echelon of celebrity earners composed mainly by males.
Comparing YouTubers to Traditional Celebrities
As social media and online entertainment continue to gain traction, it’s interesting to see how much social media creators are earning compared to their traditional media counterparts.
According to Forbes, the highest-paid YouTuber (Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast) earned $54 million in 2021. Notably, that would place MrBeast in the top 25 of celebrity earners, just ahead of Taylor Swift’s $52 million in 2021.
With more celebrities embracing social media to grow followings and earnings revenue, it might not be long before we see more influencers and social media creators in the list of the world’s highest-earning celebrities.


If I ask you to name the one most famous and sexy Russian celebrity, what will you answer? Well, it is obvious. Meet her – an ice dancer, who would gladly dance for you topless, a pretty singer, who would sing your most daring phantasies. Alive and breathing sexy Anna Semenovich. She is famous for her notorious great natural tits. Really, I bet you have seen her breast size. So much of them, they just scream – sex, sex, sex! From all pictures you see you can only think one thing. And not actually think, would be my guess. Not every guy has a chance to meet and touch such a beauty in real life. We all mortals, but thanks to civilization we have a chance to stare at her photos as much as we want. One might get a little disappointed thinking that he can never really squeeze juicy Anna Semenovich’s boobs, but hey. The great thing is that unlike the real life, here she is all ‘yes’ for you, with no doubts. All naked Anna Semenovich’s pics you want you can find in our gallery. Nude Anna Semenovich’s posing and glances she casts and outfits she wears (or, actually, not wears) are for you. C’mon, check out all what you can have for your pleasure on our page made specially for longing ones.

The BBC are reporting that Boy George, 80s musician and general fading star, accidentally invited the New York police to his appartment and got himself arrested for possession of cocaine. Accidentally my ass.
Meanwhile, having organised an press conference to get his point across, Robbie Williams commented on Kate Moss' use of cocaine saying that it was her business and people should leave her alone (poor Kate). Oh yeah, there was a something about his new album and T-Mobile who sponsor him but I'm sure that was incidental.
Personally I prefer the line from Rebecca Cheshire of the Addaction drug treatment centre, who said: "Rock stars and models can afford to go to rehabilitation clinics but the average person cannot. Teenage girls look up to Robbie Williams as a person to emulate and he has not considered the effect of his comments on the wellbeing of his fans."

Om Kalsoum, Oum Kaltsoum, Umm Kulthum Oum Koulsoum etc...
The Star of the East
The Diva of Arabic Song
"During the 1950s and 1960s Umm Kulthum expanded her role in Egyptian public life. She granted more interviews during which she spoke about her life, repeatedly identifying herself as a villager, a fallahah or peasant, who shared a cultural background and essential values with the majority of the Egyptian populace. Her interviews were full of stories of her family, her neighbors, and the familial qualities of village life.
She cultivated the position of spokeswoman for various causes. She advocated governmental support of Arabic music and musicians, she endowed a charitable foundation and, most importantly, after the Egyptian defeat in the 1967 war, she began a series of domestic and international concerts for Egypt. She travelled throughout Egypt and the Arab world, collecting contributions and donating the proceeds of her performances to the government of Egypt. These concerts were much publicized and took on the character of state visits. Umm Kulthum was entertained by heads of state, she toured cultural monuments, and, in interviews, repeated her views concerning the importance of support for indigenous Arab culture. More than a musician, she became 'the voice and face of Egypt'."
(Excerpt from Virginia Louise Danielson's Shaping tradition in Arabic song: The career and repertory of Umm Kulthum.)
Um Kalthoum was born in 1904 and died in 1975. She was unquestionably the most gifted singer and musician of this century in the Middle East. She was continuously popular for over 50 years and her songs are still played nightly on any number of Arabic language radio stations.
Om Kalthoum's repertoire is said to consist of about 280 songs on various themes: love, patriotism, nature, religion ... in both classical and colloquial Arabic. Although some of her songs were specific to certain events, most are still as popular as they were the day she first performed them.

Well this one has been brewing since July...
Marvel has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch is now officially playing Doctor Strange! As mentioned, the Hobbit and Sherlock actor has been long rumored to be in negotiations for the role since San Diego Comic Con. Marvel President, Kevin Feige has had two previous opportunities to announce this casting, but it seems the deal only just now went through.
Cumberbatch is not the most inspired choice for the role. Joaquin Phoenix had previously been in contention to play the Sorceror Supreme. This is perhaps Marvel's most obvious casting choice since Robert Downey Jr., but that has seemed to work out pretty well for them.
Doctor Strange will be directed Scott Derickson, with a script by Jon Spaihts. It will be released November 4, 2016.

One such martial artist and movie performer I am always impressed with is Li Lianjie.
“Who the heck is that?”, you ask.
I admit I also only knew him by his stage name, Jet Li.
For many years, Jet Li has worked extremely hard to get where he is now in his career.
And obviously his hard work and determination have paid off for him and his family.
Especially if you consider that his mother had to somehow pull him, his bother and two sisters through as a widow in Beijing during the Sixties.
As a teenager, Jet Li rigorously trained in Wushu for several years, winning countless titles and national gold medals.
Jet Li became a member of the high-acclaimed national Wushu team that even performed for then-U.S. President Nixon in the United States.
In those days it was an extraordinary honor and opportunity for Chinese to be able to travel overseas and even more so to perform in front of “the leader of the free world”. Jet Li was still just a teenager at the time!
His abilities and achievements as a Wushu forms practitioner paved the way for Jet Li’s acting in martial arts movies that started in China, then Hong Kong and ultimately the United States. He has become a global superstar throughout the years.
You might have seen him in some of his movies such as:
Once Upon A Time In China
Lethal Weapon 4(This was the first time I had ever seen Jet Li and I was impressed!)
Romeo Must Die
Cradle 2 The Grave
War (with Jason Statham)
The Forbidden Kingdom (with fellow superstar Jackie Chan)
I have learned that Jet Li is a cast member along with Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Staham, Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in “The Expendables” which is scheduled to be released in 2010. More on that at a later date.
But there is also another side to Jet Li such as his charitable activities, notably after his near-death experience in 2004 in the Maldives during a tsunami.
Reportedly, Jet Li’s “The One Foundation” supports international disaster relief efforts with the Red Cross and other efforts, such as recovery in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
Jet Li continues to impress on and off the big screen.

Celebrated Performer Yu Wei to visit WSCC
The Evergreen Arts & Humanities Series of Washington State Community College (WSCC) is proud to present Yu Wei – An Evening of Solo Chinese Dance. This event will be held on November 16th at 7:30pm at Graham Auditorium on the WSCC campus.
Yu Wei has been described as "a brilliant dance star" that infuses her performances with intense emotion and astonishingly beautiful movements. She has danced since she was a young child, perfecting her skills over the entirety of her life. This extreme dedication has culminated in recognition from all over the world. While she is classically trained in Chinese dance, her fluid movements transcend borders and stun audiences. After attending one of her performances Merilyn Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer stated, "Yu Wei took everyone's breath away with her dance 'Lotus – Burst of Pure Dream.' Lying on her back with her head to the audience, she depicted how a lotus unfolds. It was pure beauty."

Who hasn’t heard of Maria Callas? Certainly one of the best known and most fascinating opera singers of the 20th century, she never ceases to dazzle and amaze listeners with her unique voice and astonishing acting skills, but also with her unfailing commitment to her art. But this time, “La Divina” will not perform on stage Tosca, Lucia, and other characters by Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and Puccini who secured her place in the history books. In this play by Terrence McNally (Master Class in its original English version) translated in French by renowned playwright Michel Tremblay, at once documentary and fiction, it is the young aspiring singers who have come to take lessons with her whom she addresses, and to whom she lavishes advice and humorous anecdotes.
New York, early 1970s. At the renowned Juilliard Music School, Maria Callas holds master classes for young artists dreaming of an opera career, intimidated by the prospect of performing the arias that have made the celebrated soprano a legend on the world’s most renowned stages. At once strict and benevolent, the famous diva recounts her childhood, the rivalry with other singers, the merciless critics covering her first performances, her ultimate triumph at La Scala in Milan, her boundless and tragic love for the wealthy Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis and her career crumbling like her voice with only a few years left to live. The artist, facing her destiny, reveals herself in a profoundly personal way and without artifice. The play culminates with a monologue on sacrifice in the name of art, reminiscent of Tosca’s famous “Vissi d’arte”. Comedian Sophie Faucher embodies this mythical and larger-than-life character with all the intelligence, passion and charisma she is known for.
This Tony Award-winning play, with its at times caustic humour interspersed with deeply touching episodes, has run for nearly 600 performances on Broadway.

She is known as the Arabian horse beauty and her mere presence on the screen stirs the loins of the male audience. She is none other than the raunchy sex siren Sameera Reddy but then she has been tagged as 'Iron Leg' in the Tollywood circuit after her three successive disasters and that too with big stars. After a while, she made her mark in Kollywood and now, she is keen on wiping that tag off. Sameera is arriving with the film 'Erra Gulabeelu' which is directed by Gautham Menon and this also has the lovely smile beauty Samantha as the other leading lady. Let us hope that this film turns out to be the turn-around for sexy Sam.


Nadira (nee Farhat or Florence Ezekiel) (1932-2006) was spotted by the wife of the famous film director Mehboob Khan, a Muslim, when she was sheltering from a thunderstorm in a building. He cast her in the lead role of his technicolor extravaganza, Aan (1952), India’s first film in colour. Nadira, who had seen only two films and had never been photographed. Her mother, who wanted Nadira to settle down and marry a nice boy, was dismayed. Despite her pathetic financial condition, it was only after a great deal of persuasion that her mother agreed to a contract with Mehboob Khan, according to which Nadira was to be paid Rs. 1,200 per month, an unheard of amount in those days.
Aan proved to be a major hit and her debut performance in the film won her rave reviews. Nadira was surrounded by a coterie of male admirers. While Mehboob Khan flirted with her, an Urdu poet Naqshab won her over with his couplets; and Nadira ended up marrying him and infuriating her mother.
Nadira starred in Naqshab’s productions, Nagma and Raftaar (1955), but she felt exploited as she was forced to promote the films by posing for sexy posters, and on the other hand to observe purdah (Islamic seclusion). Naqshab even insisted that she cancel her three-year contract with Mehboob Khan; and on top of it all he announced that they were not married. Disgusted, Nadira walked out, leaving behind all her earnings.
Her foreign features and thin figure, which was quite unlike the buxom heroines patronized by film fans, made it difficult for her to resume her career. Fortunately, she landed up a vamp’s role in Raj Kapoor’s Shri 420 (1955).
The role required her to hold a smouldering cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. The film’s great success made it her landmark style; and it was followed by negative roles in films which won her great accolades. Few could portray vindictiveness and malice with Nadira’s panache. She brought great style to the portrayal of the quintessential Westernised vamp of Hindi films. Her role as a Christian mother in Julie (1975), was a landmark performance, which fetched her fifteen awards. She also appeared in a few English films, notably the Merchant Ivory films The Guru (1969) and Cotton Mary (1999). She was well paid for her efforts and was one of the first Indian actors to own a Rolls Royce. Nadira passed away in a hospital in Mumbai on 9th February 2006 at the age of 73, suffering from a paralytic stroke combined with a heart attack.
Pearl Padamsee (1931-2000), was a distinguished actress of theatre and films. She added a new dimension to Indian theatre in general and Mumbai in particular, and presented the audience with many a notable actor and play. Her Rise and Fall of Arturo Ui is considered a milestone in Indian theatre. She emerged as a prominent face of crossover cinema and worked in many national and international film projects, in both Hindi and English, in a film career spanning over four decades. Some of her significant English language films are West is West (1987), Such a Long Journey (1998), and Kama Sutra (1996). She had adopted her Khoja Muslim husband, Alyque Padamsee’s surname.
Interestingly, of the few men among all the Baghdadis prominently active in Indian cinema, at the time, was the noted documentary film-maker, Ezra Mir (1903-1993), who came to be recognized as the father of Indian animation. He was born as Edwin Myers in Kolkata (formerly called Calcutta). He adopted the name Ezra Mir because he felt that his real name did not sound Indian. Mir started making documentaries in 1941 after being inspired by the March of Time newsreels. He worked for the Film Advisory Board (1940-41); Information Films of India (1942-46); India Film Enterprises (1949-51); and the Films Division, where he was Chief Producer (1956-61). During his five year tenure, the Films Division produced over 400 documentaries. He also worked as Producer-in-Charge for the Children’s Film Society of India (1962-64) from 1941 till his retirement from the Films Division in 1961. He was responsible, in various capacities, for over seven hundred documentaries. He was the first president of the Indian Documentary Producers’ Association (1956). Ezra Mir directed Pamposh, the first Indian colour film processed completely in India, using Gevacolour stock. The first Indian film to have an English version – Nur Jehan, was directed by Ezra Mir. He was awarded the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award, in 1970 for his great contribution to Indian cinema.
There were many from the Bene Israel community, mostly men, who later joined the Baghdadis in films, not only as actors, but also in other capacities. The person to whom goes the credit for writing the screenplay of India’s first full length talkie, Alam Ara (1931), was the Bene Israel playwright Joseph David Penkar. A theatre manager of the third decade of the twentieth century, he was also the author of plays in Marathi and Urdu. Today, three of his plays – Queen Esther, The Maccabeen Warriors and Prince Ansalom – are archived in Israel. Alam Ara was a huge success. Tickets were sold for twenty times the admission rate as crowds thronged to see the first talkie venture of Indian cinema. After Alam Ara, he joined its production house, the Imperial Film Company, as a playwright and also got involved with film-producing, directing and music composing. Other screenplays followed to which he also composed the scores. Joseph David died in 1942.
A well-known Jewish film actor was David Abraham (1908-81). Abraham was awarded the Padma Shri award, for his roles as a character actor and for his promotion of Indian sports. He started his film career in 1941 and went on to act in over 110 films. He worked with India’s best film-makers ever, like the Academy Award winner and recipient of Dada Saheb Phalke Award, Satyajeet Ray. He is best known for his portrayal of John Chacha in the 1954 hit Boot Polish.
One of the most prominent film-journalists, cine-personality-biographers and film-historians of India was a Bene Israel, Bunny Rueben (1926-2007). He also produced a film and was the Director of Publicity to the most famous film-makers of India. In the 1970s, when Steven Spielberg decided to shoot portions of his sci-fi adventure Close Encounters of the Third Kind in India, he signed Bunny Reuben as the Director of Publicity, the best name in the field. Reuben started his film-journalistic career in the 1940s with his contributions to the film-weekly Movie Times. Reuben went on to become a full-time film-journalist with the leading National Standard, now known as The Indian Express. From the National Standard, he moved on to Bharat Jyoti, the Sunday edition of the Free Press Journal. Reuben later joined India’s foremost film-magazine Filmfare, a publication of The Times of India Group.
But in the 1950s Reuben left Filmfare to pursue his dream of producing a film, because Filmfare’s policy did not permit a journalist to pursue any other occupation. Aashiq (Lover), the film he produced and for which he wrote, was not a commercial success, as the subject of the film was well before its time, of a man torn between his family and his muse. Reuben finally returned to film-journalism by joining a new film-magazine Star & Style. He rose to become its editor in 1969 and continued to work in that capacity until 1974. In 1975, Reuben became the founding-editor of the magazine Cine-Blitz, and within a year brought its circulation to 100,000, at par with other established magazines of the day. Reuben also wrote a full-page column in the Sunday tabloid The Daily, now defunct, and wrote regularly for Sunday Free Journal, Sakal, Kesari, Maharashtra Herald, and many others. From 2004 to 2005, Reuben wrote a series of articles on all the great stars he had personally known since the early 1950s for the daily newspaper The Asian Age.
Reuben also established himself as a definitive biographer of film-personalities. In 1990, Reuben was honoured with the Twentieth Century Cine-goers Award for “excellence in film-journalism”, and in 1994 the Sahyog Foundation Award for the Best Film Journalist was conferred upon him.
Considering the remarkable contributions of Jews to Indian cinema, it is surprising that it produced only six films with Jewish characters, with only two of them with Indian Jewish characters, viz., Gramophone (Malayalam) and Mr. & Mrs Iyer (English). There are still a few Jews active in Indian cinema, but people are hardly aware of this as it isn’t possible to identify them as Jews from their names. Coming from mixed marriages, they are Jewish only according to the Jewish law (Halacha), as they are all born of Jewish mothers. They are the famous actor and film screenplay writer Haider Ali, son of the first Miss India (1947), Pramila nee Esther Victoria Abraham, and the famous trio of Roy Kapur brothers, viz., producer Siddharth and actors, Kunal and Aditya, sons of Salome Aaron, Eve’s Weekly Miss India (1973). In recent years there have been some attempts to bring the Jewish contributions to Indian cinema in limelight. Australia’s Deakin University’s Associate Professor Danny Ben- Moshe is in the process of producing a documentary film on the subject, titled, Shalom Bollywood, while Kenneth X. Robbins recently held an exhibition titled, “Baghdadis and the Bene Israel in Bollywood and Beyond: Indian Jews in the Movies” at the Leon Levy Gallery in the US and is currently editing a book on the subject.
The author, Dr. Navras Jaat Aafreedi is an Indo-Judaic Studies Scholar, working as Assistant Professor of History at Gautam Buddha University, Greater NOIDA (India). He is also the Executive Director of the Youth Outreach Programme of the Society for Social Regeneration & Equity, an NGO dedicated to the promotion of interfaith amity by bringing the minority contributions to India into the limelight.

Being rich and famous can set you up for life — and well beyond that — but it also can make otherwise smart people do really stupid things with their money. Just ask MC Hammer, who very famously filed for bankruptcy after spending his estimated $33 million fortune on material luxuries while handing out cash to family and friends.
Hammer isn’t the only celeb who mismanaged his riches away. Take a look:
The legendary country crooner and marijuana advocate allegedly owed between $16 and $32 million to the IRS during the 1980s. But when he filed for Chapter 11 in 1990, he had a game plan intact: Nelson released an album entitled The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories— with the IRS’ blessing, no less — to help pay the bill.
William Crapo Durant
You may not recognize the name, but you’re familiar with Durant’s legacy — he founded General Motors in 1908, five years after Henry Ford (another bankruptcy victim) popularized the American automobile. Unfortunately, by the end of the Great Depression, Durant’s $120 million fortune was but a memory. He spent his final years managing a bowling alley in Flint, Michigan.
Aaron Carter didn’t experience the same success his brother Nick had with the Backstreet Boys, but he was still popular in his own right. His first three albums, Aaron Carter, Aaron’s Party, and Oh, Aaron, were relative hits, but as his core demographic — teenage girls — aged out of his brand of music, his popularity declined. His fourth and final studio album, Another Earthquake!, debut at #18 on the Billboard charts, but sank to #41 in its second week. Despite continued touring, the pop singer filed for bankruptcy in 2013, claiming only $8,000 in assets against more than $2.2 million of debt.
The entertainment icon launched his first studio, Laugh-O-Gram — which made short advertisements and cartoons — in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1922, with distribution by a firm in New York. But when the firm cheated the studio out of revenue, Disney and his partner couldn’t carry the overhead, leaving the business bankrupt just a year later. Disney bounced back, of course; by 2016 the animation empire he started building in 1928 was worth $169.3 billion, according to Forbes.
What you talkin’ bout, Willis? One of the highest paid actors on TV in the early 1980s, Gary Coleman found it difficult to find work after his hugely popular sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes, came to and end. He filed for bankruptcy in 1999 citing $72,000 in medical expenses, and revealing that his adoptive parents and business adviser had squandered a large portion of his fortune when he was a child actor. Coleman died of epidural hematoma at age 42.
It seems to be a trend among American innovators to pick up the pieces and try, try again after going bankrupt. Case in point: When H.J. Heinz’s horseradish business went belly up in 1875, he turned to ketchup— with the help of his brother and a cousin — and it was a runaway hit. Fifty-seven varieties and more than 140 years later, Heinz legacy is still enjoyed around the world.
In the commander-in-chief’s defense, he’s never personally filed for bankruptcy — but he has filed Chapter 11 six times between 1991 and 2009 for hotel and casino businesses that include Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel, and Trump Entertainment Resorts, among others. In 2011, Newsweek quoted the president: “I do play with bankruptcy laws — they’re very good for me.” Interestingly, he’s not the first president to have bankruptcy on their records. Several presidents have gone broke, most notably William McKinley, who went bankrupt while serving as Ohio governor in 1893, only to be elected to the highest office in the land three years later.
If Burt Reynolds could give you one piece of financial advice, it would be this: get a pre-nup. The actor learned his lesson the hard way by filing for Chapter 11 in 1996 due to a failed restaurant venture — and a pricey divorce from actress Loni Anderson.
Remember that time singer and reality TV star Toni Braxton went on Oprah’s talk show in 1998 and revealed that she had to give up her Grammys, Gucci silverware, and Porsche after filing for bankruptcy because, despite selling 20 million albums to the tune of $170 million dollars, she allegedly hadn’t received money owed to her from the record label? Yeah, that didn’t go over well. Despite persistent financial issues that remained a problem until at least 2013, Braxton is now worth an estimated $10 million.
After putting her money in the hands of people she trusted, Dionne Warwick filed for bankruptcy in March 2013 citing “mismanagement” of her business affairs. At the time she owed upwards of $7 million to the IRS and more than $3 million in business taxes to the state of California. If only her psychic friends had seen this coming.

WINTER FESTIVAL CONCERT - 2014
with Special Guest John Danaher
As the only artist ever to have received Grammy Awards for music, lyrics and orchestration, Jimmy Webb has written numerous platinum-selling classics.
Jimmy Webb wrote instant hits for artists including Glen Campbell ("By The Time I Get To Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," "Where's The Playground, Susie"), Richard Harris (" MacArthur Park," "Didn't We"), the Fifth Dimension ("Up, Up and Away," "This Is Your Life"), The Brooklyn Bridge ("Worst That Could Happen"), Art Garfunkel ("All I Know"), Linda Ronstadt ("Easy For You To Say"), Joe Cocker ("The Moon's A Harsh Mistress") and so on. Jimmy Webb continues to write songs that are as carefully crafted and magical as the older ones.
Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with a new Webb standard, "The Highwayman," a ballad which won him a Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year. Linda Ronstadt, who has recorded a multitude of his songs throughout her recording career, included four of his efforts on her double platinum album, "Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like The Wind," and scored a top ten in 1990 with her rendition of Webb's "Adios." With a discography that reads like a "Who's Who" in the music world, Webb's songs continue to grace a multitude of major recording artists' albums, from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney, to Urge Overkill and R.E.M..
Webb is a recipient of both the Johnny Mercer Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Oklahoma native is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, but is most proud of his membership in the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. He holds an honorary Doctorate of Music from Five Towns College and Oklahoma City University. He has been awarded three Grammys for Song of the Year ("Up, Up and Away," 1967), Best Orchestration ("Macarthur Park," 1969) and Best Country Song ("Highwayman," 1985). He has been recently awarded ASCAP's Voice Of Music award, which among other things honors him as an "exemplary advocate for the rights of creators."
Jimmy Webb has a new CD "Still Within the Sound of My Voice" and is currently touring Europe and the US. The new Album again unites Jimmy Webb with some of today's biggest selling and enduring artists for once-in-a-lifetime performances, including the iconic MacArthur Park. In celebration of its 45th Anniversary, Jimmy reached out to Brian Wilson for his inspirational vocal harmonies which take this American Classic soaring to new heights. The Album is full of inspirational vocal performances from the breathless seduction of Carly Simon on Easy For You To Say to the joyful contemporary styling of Keith Urban on Where's The Playground, Susie.
In celebration of Jimmy Webb's Career as a singer, songwriter and performer it is easy to see why so many Artists have joined together for this amazing collection of duets from the Jimmy Webb Great American Songbook. Besides the Artists already mentioned other Special Guests featured include Lyle Lovett, David Crosby & Graham Nash, Marc Cohn, Amy Grant, Joe Cocker, Kris Kristofferson, Art Garfunkel and Rumer.
Jimmy Webb's accomplishments as a composer, arranger, and producer demonstrate beyond question that he remains as important and vital a cultural figure today as he was over thirty years ago. Embraced by his peers, Webb has influenced and affected some of the finest musical talents of our time. Frank Sinatra declared "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" as "the greatest torch song ever written," and said he enjoyed singing Jimmy Webb tunes because "he has been blessed with the emotions and artistic talents of the great lyricists."
"He's a prodigious performer, and a night with Jimmy at the keys is not unlike getting to hear George Gershwin or Cole Porter live. It's hard to believe one guy could have written all these amazing songs. Webb is still at it, thankfully, and if you get a chance to see him live, grab it. People ask why nobody writes songs like they used to. Fortunately for us all, Jimmy Webb still does." -American Songwriter Magazine
"Mr. Webb is a superb natural melodist whose best songs often combine the tuneful directness of country music with the unabashedly romantic harmonic palette of classic Hollywood film scores." - The New York Times
"When I was starting out as a songwriter, I looked to Jimmy Webb as one of the most innovative and musically proficient songwriters of our generation" – Billy Joel
"Jimmy Webb is one of the only contemporary songwriters who can write songs right into the orchestra, and his songs have 17-layer emotions and sophisticated chord charges that are absolutely dazzling" - Linda Ronstadt

Loving You is a 1957 musical vehicle for Elvis Presley. It was his first film as the star following the previous years debut as a supporting actor in Love Me Tender. The cast is completed by Lizabeth Scott, Wendell Corey, and in her film debut, Dolores Hart.
The story was scripted by Herbert Baker and Hal Kanter, based on the short story "A Call from Mitch Miller". Kanter expanded the script after being inspired by Presley's last appearance on the Louisiana Hayride, and his manager Colonel Tom Parker's antics.
A box office success, Loving You opened nationwide on July 9, 1957. Paramount Pictures chose to ignore the first-run theater system, opting instead to release the film in sub-run neighborhood theaters, a system later dubbed the "Presley Pattern". Composed by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Presley's single "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" backed with "Loving You" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Jana Lund gives Elvis Presley his very first screen kiss.
Elvis Presley dyed his brown hair to black to celebrate his first color film.
A line of dialogue inspired the name of The Monkees, when Deke (Elvis Presley)says to his controlling managers in a moment of rebellion, "That's what you're selling, isn't it? A monkey in a zoo."
Did You Know ... Elvis Presley's parents Vernon Presley and Gladys Presley were cast as audience members in this film. After Gladys died Elvis never watched it again, saying it hurt too much to see his mother on screen.


“The Marshall Mather’s LP” Album by Eminem review
When I first listened to this album I thought it was pure profanity and violence but I didn’t know Eminem. This album The Marshalls Mather’s LP it starts with a person telling the listeners that Eminem could careless what you think or feel about this album he than finishes Eminem say the last words sue me than heading to his first track song. This album really speaks to audience especially the song Headlights, Eminem is rapping an open letter to his mother with the emotions of how he was never there for him, but despite this he still loved her at the end of the day and her to know that although they’ve gone their separate way in life. This song in particular as it goes on and on the verses only get better. “Did I take it too far? ‘Cleaning Out My Closet’ and all them other songs, but regardless I don’t hate you ’cause/Ma, you’re still beautiful to me/’cause you’re my mom.” Eminem is the seen as the king of rap in my eyes not only if you pay attention to the way he thinks you’ll find yourself laughing or even at times relating. Another song in his album called So Far… it shows how he doesn’t care of the fame; he can’t adapt to the life of living in a mansion nor used to people asking for autographs even of a napkin. I feel as many should listen to Eminem because it really gets you pumping what I mean it puts you in a good mood, helps to relief some stress with many of the crazy things he says because you start to think did he really just say that. Also something that I learn from his album is that he relates a lot to his past how it was growing up in a crazy household to the world he lived in all connecting with his imagination of hate and violence. He has a crazy imagination but also compares it to everything that he went through for example when he was younger he was never accepted by others many neglected him. It’s really hard to understand him as an artist by one song this album really speaks because he talks about family his father never being part of his life, as his mother always drugged and careless these raps that’s he makes are all in connection to that he literally raps his heart out to people and this is what makes him so good, I usually love girly music but when it comes to Eminem I could really say that his music his raps are like a story it clears your mind and gives you that good laugh. Another song I love from this Album is Who Knew… as I stated before he talks about what likes and what he cares about, he offends the President as well as tells others to like what they like. One thing you will learn after listening to Eminem is no rapper will ever mess with Emienm because the return will not be good.


- Bad Bunny has sky-rocketed to fame and become a cultural icon in just a few years.
- His latest venture? Glow in the dark Crocs.
- Bunny’s epic rise and business are reminiscent of Kanye West. But why has Kanye undercut himself while Bad Bunny continues to ascend?
Bad Bunny is in the midst of an epic come-up reminiscent of one Kanye West.
Now he has the ugly shoes to prove it.
The LGBTQ/reggaeton icon can seemingly do no wrong. Meanwhile, Kanye West, as of late, can’t help but trip over himself. Why is one artist smoothly transitioning into superstardom while the other keeps stumbling?
The answer might surprise you.
Bad Bunny Enters the Fashion World
Bad Bunny, aka Benito Martínez, is no stranger to style. Whether he’s dressed as a man or woman, he hasn’t shied away from expressing himself.
His latest venture is no exception. Check out his latest project, Bad Bunny Crocs:
Yes, Twitter is clamoring over these shoes that are nothing more than a basic pair of Crocs with a few glow-in-the-dark stickers glued onto them.
Are they worse than Kanye West’s Foam RNNRs? I’ll let you be the judge.
These artists have an equally terrible taste in shoes, but that’s not all they have in common.
Bunny & Kanye Rise to the Top
Both Bad Bunny and Kanye West have experienced rapid rises in fame. And they both did it by being unapologetically themselves.
But Bad Bunny has taken a far different route. He’s promoting love and inclusion and all spectrums of sexuality in a space that’s traditionally shunned it. And his fanbase is reflecting that love back to him. He lit his base on fire with this video:
Meanwhile, Kanye West has everything he could ever want, but he’s continually sabotaged himself. Whether inexplicably running for president, stealing the limelight from other artists, or divulging highly private information about his family, Kanye West has not been able to align with that same type of love and stability.
Why is that?
Kanye West Had a Different Life
While it’s easy to pin all of Kanye’s troubles on his mental health issues, it goes deeper than that. Part of the reason people struggle with mental health is genetics, but part of it is also from upbringing.
Kanye West’s parents, although they parted amicably, divorced when he was just three-years-old. There are encyclopedias worth of research that show the mental effects of growing up in a fatherless household.
One expert suggests that growing up without a father can cause someone to become angrier and make them more likely to turn to drugs. Another study suggests those children are more likely to be depressed, aggressive, or have low self-esteem.
We know he can be aggressive. And even though Kanye West can sometimes seem like the most confident person in the world, that can be a coping mechanism for low self-esteem. But he’s still managed to bring us joyful hits:
Bad Bunny, meanwhile, grew up with two loving parents in a structured, Catholic setting. During an interview with Rolling Stone, he even said:
I wasn’t the kid who got involved in the streets. I liked to be at home with my family.
That stable upbringing likely to more stability throughout his life.
Kanye West’s less stable upbringing is probably what led him to be attracted to the empty calories that are the Kardashians. Making such questionable choices have led to a tumultuous relationship. While he was suffering a breakdown, Kim was posting thirsty Instagram pics.
Kanye, and other fatherless kids can still get back on track, but they have to be willing to seek help. So far, it seems like Kanye has avoided it.
Hopefully, he finds the help he needs and starts making the shoes we want.

Usman Mukhtar has been recently in the news for his currently airing drama serial, Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. And when every single other drama lover is cursing his character Aswad’s arc in the tale, we are conscious that Aswad is conflicted and not able to make your mind up who to favour: the deceased Mashal or the alleged murderer Mehreen. Nevertheless, we really do not know what Aswad will do, Usman has built his alternative long ago in April when he got hitched to Zunaira Inam Khan.
The actor has formally kicked off his wedding day festivities with an intimate mayun ceremony in Islamabad which was attended by family members and close friends. Nevertheless, Usman has not shared any pictures or movies on his social media. So, right here is a glimpse of it that is circulating about the net:
The function had a traditional mayun decor with yellow bouquets and a wonderful illustration of Mukhtar and his wife in the backdrop.
The bride and groom wore pale yellow outfits. Equally of them wore shawls to enhance each individual other’s appears. Zunairah paired her stylish anarkali with a heavy choker and earrings set.
The mayun bride even gave us a nearer look at her dress when she twirled for the digital camera.
Browse: Usman Mukhtar opens up about his wife, marriage, new drama & a large amount extra in Q&A session
It seems like the visitors ended up pretty generous with ubtan.
Here’s hoping that Usman and his guests will observe Covid SOPs in the impending shadi events, as the actor was not joyful about individuals dancing as well shut and putting up intimate photos for the duration of weddings in the pandemic.
