Commencement 2016: Biographies - Hank Azaria
As an Emmy Award-winning actor, you have made us laugh through characters such as Apu, Mo, and Chief Wiggum. But your extraordinary gifts have carried you well beyond the long-running Simpsons comedy series. In television, film, and theatre, you have channeled your talents into characters who are extravagant and introspective, heroic and dangerous. Your versatility has brought you success as a director and producer. Out of exacting discipline, deep humility, and an enviable wit, you have conjured performances that brighten our lives with humor as they deepen our understanding of humanity’s frailty and resilience. An alumnus, in true Tufts fashion you have also given back to the community by supporting the educational aspirations and accomplishments of underserved youth in Los Angeles. We are proud to recognize your accomplishments today by awarding you the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.
The first time HANK AZARIA, A87, walked on stage, he was six and delivered a couple of lines in Red River Valley for an elementary school production. A regular in plays through high school, he had a good idea of what he wanted to do with his life—and it didn’t involve being in an office.
Such was the auspicious start to Azaria’s remarkable career on stage and in film and television. Azaria, winner of five Emmys and a Screen Actors Guild Award, is aptly considered a “voice artist extraordinaire” for bringing to life beloved characters on The Simpsons, including Comic Book Guy, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Moe Szyslak, and Police Chief Clancy Wiggum, among many others.
His work on The Simpsons is just one aspect of his impressive career, which more recently has encompassed directing and producing. Noted for his versatility and nimble authenticity, Azaria can “jump between broad comedy and heavy drama,” noted a writer in Backstage, a trade journal for actors. “Adding to his appeal is his tendency to take small roles that would normally fade into the background, and to consistently create characters people care about.”
Born April 25, 1964, in Queens, New York, Azaria attended Tufts from 1981 to 1985, when fellow thespians included Oliver Platt A83. He marched with his graduating class in 1985, but was two credits shy of a diploma. Two years later, after moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television, he earned the remaining credits at UCLA, officially making him a member of the class of 1987.
At first, he landed small roles on the television sitcoms Family Ties and Growing Pains. He got a big break when he was hired in 1989 as a voice actor for a new animated series, The Simpsons, now the longest-running scripted series on television. Over that run, Azaria has won four Emmys for his vocal dexterity.
Not content with a sole focus on The Simpsons, Azaria steadily took on more television work, such as guest-starring roles on Mad About You (Emmy nomination) and Friends (Emmy nomination), which led to larger roles on Huff, Ray Donovan, and Tuesdays with Morrie (Emmy award). The actor’s film credits include The Birdcage (his flamboyant, scantily dressed houseboy stole the scene from stars Robin Williams and Nathan Lane), America’s Sweethearts, Quiz Show, Along Came Polly, Shattered Glass, and Grosse Pointe Blank.
Azaria headlined the miniseries Uprising, the true story of the revolts in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II; he played Mordechai Anielewicz, who helped organize the single largest Jewish armed resistance against the Nazis. He will star in the upcoming independent film Oppenheimer Strategies and in HBO’s The Wizard of Lies as Frank DiPascali Jr., Bernie Madoff’s right-hand man.
Azaria also created the Jim Brockmire character, featured as part of Funny or Die’s Gamechangers series. Now he will star in a new half-hour comedy series, The Jim Brockmire Story, to be aired on IFC beginning in early 2017. On stage, Azaria shines in both goofy, over-the-top roles and serious ones. He made his Broadway debut in Spamalot, for which he received a Tony nomination. He also starred in the hit West End production of David Mamet’s Sexual Perversity in Chicago in 2003. He is appearing in the world premiere of Sarah Burgess’ Dry Powder at New York’s Public Theater.
He’s worked behind the camera, too. He co-wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the short film Nobody’s Perfect, which debuted in 2004 at the Sundance Film Festival and won Best Short at the 2004 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. More recently he directed and produced the AOL documentary series Fatherhood, which includes his interviews with experts and friends, among them famous dads Kevin Bacon, Mike Myers, and Rainn Wilson. Azaria is also a champion of education and its power to change the trajectory of the lives of young people. He is a cofounder of Determined to Succeed, a nonprofit that provides highly motivated students from low-income families with comprehensive year-round academic enrichment and social-emotional support from middle school through college graduation. Students of the program have gone on to top colleges and universities, including Tufts. Azaria returned to Tufts in 1999 to receive the Light on the Hill Award, the highest honor that undergraduate students bestow on alumni.
Tufts will award Azaria an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.

The work of Des Moines-based multidisciplinary artist Robert Moore is hung on the walls of celebrity homes, has graced galleries and will soon rest in museum exhibits.
Up until 2023, the 39-year-old artist, also known in the art world as "B.Moore.," felt ignored with a lack of public recognition in his hometown. Moore overcame addictions to cocaine and alcohol in the late 2010s by using paint and canvas as a therapeutic means to heal from inner conflicts and the complexities earned from an unwanted life.
Later, the former suburban father of three, who calls being a dad his "No. 1 job," left behind a marriage to his children's mother and a corporate job in consulting through TEKsystems as a program manager for Transamerica. He also changed his appearance and said, at the time, "(I'm) going to stop cutting my hair. I’m going to stop trying to conform with my talk, my persona.”
He started painting casually in 2017 and collectors include "CBS Mornings" anchor Gayle King, "Yacht Club" rapper Lil Yachty, Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson and "All American" star Taye Diggs, who attended the opening gallery reception for his first solo show, "Out the Mud: A Black American Rite of Passage," which premiered and sold out in March at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles.
Now, he is one of the most noted artists in recent history to bring mainstream attention to Iowa since Grant Wood, a regionalist who painted "American Gothic," which is widely recognized as one of the most famous paintings in American history with its depiction of a farmer in overalls holding a hayfork next to his daughter in front of a white home in rural Eldon. Moore is a modern-day Wood with an L.A. Dodgers cap and gold chain.

This action greatly displeased his mother, who was also a professor at the university.She later commented, "It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life... For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you." Kanye West began his early production career in the mid-1990s, making beats primarily for burgeoning local artists, eventually developing a style that involved speeding up vocal samples from classic soul records.His seventh album, The Life of Pablo, was released in 2016.West's outspoken views and life outside of music have received significant mainstream attention.Because of his association with D-Dot, West wasn't able to release a solo album, so he formed and became a member and producer of the Go-Getters, a late-1990s Chicago rap group composed of him, GLC, Timmy G, Really Doe, and Arrowstar.His group was managed by John "Monopoly" Johnson, Don Crowley, and Happy Lewis under the management firm Hustle Period.
He started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists.Her second effort subsequently became the very first hip-hop album by a female rapper to debut at the top of the U. His songs featured rappers Nas, Drag-On, and R&B singer Carl Thomas.The ninth track from World Party, the last Goodie Mob album to feature the rap group's four founding members prior to their break-up, was co-produced by West with his manager Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie.Intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004 to widespread critical and commercial success, and founded the record label GOOD Music.
He went on to pursue a variety of styles on subsequent albums Late Registration (2005), Graduation (2007), and 808s & Heartbreak (2008). ” I recently answered this on Facebook and it went viral, gaining over 100K views in one day… Check out Blair Robertson's best-selling book, Afterlife by clicking here.

Hello! After taking a much needed vacation, I’m back to write more!!! To start 2015 in great (music) taste, I chose to review Alicia Keys concert, which I attended mid August of 2008 in Santa Barbara, California.
That’s right! At that time, I was living in SB and working at the Four Seasons Resort and Hotel there. One of my coworkers, Francisco, took me to buy my ticket (which I got in the 4th row!!!) and then later dropped me off at Santa Barbara Bowl, where the concert was being held.
It was a full packed house! I was so close to Alicia, it was an experience I’ll never forget! The crowd sang all of her songs in a unison, it was incredible. She sang hit after hit, going from “You Don’t Know My Name”, to “Unbreakable”, to her first single “Fallin'”, to finish with “If I Ain’t Got You”. Her vocals mesmerized everyone in the audience along with her piano skills. She’s a complete artist that I fell in love with from the moment I heard “Fallin'” and since then, I’ve been following her career. To have had the opportunity to ser live felt like a dream come true.
Of course during her set I took many pictures and recorded small videos. While I was recording one the security came to me and said that no videos can be recorded. Ok, so I “faked” that I was taking pictures, while I was “positioning” the camera, I was actually recording! Ha!
When it came to an end, everyone wanted more. Alicia is one of those people you want to listen all night long, you never get tired of her. Definitely it was an amazing evening in a very special place that is SB to me!

A MUSICIAN and writer who grew up in Dover has written an album in tribute to his home town.
Alan Clayson, 61, who was born in Union Road – now Coombe Valley Road – in 1951, has honoured the main thoroughfare along Capel-Le-Ferne on the final track, The Old Dover Road.
The bass player had many brushes with the stars in the 1960s and 70s, meeting the likes of Elvis Costello, and is the official biographer of Frank Zappa.
But Mr Clayson, who now lives in Berkshire, said one of his most proud achievements was when, at the age of nine, he swam 1,000 yards across Dover harbour.
He left the town at the age of seven but used to come back every summer to visit his uncle.
Those holidays of his childhood have been a great influence on the material for his new album, One Dover Soul.
Mr Clayson said: "You can take the man out of Dover, but you can't take the Dover out of the man."


Further to my last post, Ashton Kutcher has won the race to a million followers. In true web2.0 style he live streamed his victory experience on ustream.

Virginia Raffaele is a natural talent and is destined to gain an increasingly central place in TV entertainment. RAI, Mediaset, SKY will all be competing to get her for the next few years as she represents the present as well as the future of cultured and entertaining showbusiness. It seems almost an oxymoron that, however, she masters very well.
The David di Donatello is the main award dedicated to the Italian and the international film industry. On this occasion (2005) the award was given to Million Dollar Baby as the best foreign film, distributed in Italy by 01 Distribution. The first and only time that Warner did not distribute a Clint Eastwood film in Italy.
Luciana Littizzetto has made two editions of the Sanremo Festival (2013, 2014) with Rai1, hosted with Fabio Fazio. Transgressive, ironic, unpredictable, she is the author of memorable ironic "rants" and sharp impact monologues. What appears as improvisation is the result of a careful drafting and preparation work.
This photo depicts Maurizio Crozza who bravely returned to the 2014 Sanremo Festival after the clamorous criticism of the previous edition. He was tense but managed to compete with the audience of the Ariston Theater, which gave him an ovation. I almost succeeded in taking him to Rai1, but the project faded.
Carlo Conti and Maria De Filippi, tired but happy, successfully hosted the 2017 Sanremo Festival. Bringing them together on the Ariston stage was one of the most complex and winning bets I made, of which I am really proud. Conti set his personal record of three consecutive editions of the Festival with increasing share averages: 49% in 2015, 50% in 2016, 51% in 2017.
This is the final image of the 2017 Sanremo Festival won by Francesco Gabbani. The year before he had been mistakenly eliminated in the Nuove Proposte [New Proposals] section and then called back when he was already at the hotel with his suitcases ready. He won in the youth category in 2016 and the big names in 2017. Talk about "sliding doors".
Maria De Filippi is saying, during the live broadcast of Rai1 for the 2014 TV Oscars, that no one had ever asked her to host the Sanremo Festival and therefore it was inappropriate to talk about it, even if she was ready to do it with Carlo Conti. I smile because the project that took place three years later started right from that moment.
Laetitia Casta was a real diva, and still is. Here she is portrayed during a press conference for the 2014 Sanremo Festival where she played a prominent role alongside Fabio Fazio. Cat Stevens arrived at the theatre early just when she was rehearsing an ironic ballet. We were terrified that he would leave. He remained and waited for his rehearsal.

The death of a prominent Bollywood actress Sridevi has now become a sensation across the country. It was reported that she had died of a heart attack first. But more details emerge as Dubai superintendents say that Sridevi is accidental. Recently, the BJP senior and leading advocate Subhramanyaswamy made sensational comments. In his opinion, this is the murder of Sridevi.
Many suspicions have been raised on the death of Sridevi
Moreover, Sridevi has no habit of drinking alcohol. He was suspicious of the issues in the forensic report. The doctors said the media had come forward and died of a heart attack. He said that he had strong alcohol with her. He also questioned what is the TV footage in the affair. If all this was observed, Sridevi was murdered. Expressed his opinion. Subhramanyaswamy said the prosecution should wait until the case is declared.


The Starter Wife
Starring Debra Messing
If having it all in Hollywood means being married to an ambitious movie studio exec, having an adorable daughter, owning a flawlessly decorated McMansion in Brentwood, belonging to the most exclusive clubs and always getting the best table in the hottest restaurants, then Molly Kagan has it all.
Until she gets the one phone call that changes everything.
With that call, not only does Molly’s husband Kenny inform her of his intentions to divorce just shy of their ten year anniversary (coincidentally before their pre-nup expires), but also he revokes her status as “Wife Of,” instantly transforming her into a “Starter Wife“â€”a decided step down, if not outâ€”in the Hollywood pecking order.
In L.A., news travels fastâ€”bad news even faster. Within hours, doors are slammed, her formerly packed social calendar is empty, she gets shunned by other Wives Of including one of her best friends, and worst of all, she discovers her ex is dating a pop tartlet who is half his age. All hope seems lost until Molly’s friend Joan comes to the rescue with the perfect antidote: an invitation to stay at her beach house for the summer in Malibu Colony, one of the most tony, private playgrounds of Hollywood’s elite.
With the help of her friendsâ€”some old and some newâ€”Molly discovers that it’s up to her to be the architect of her new life and decide what she wants to make of it. Because, after all, Wife Goes On.


Later on today Michael Jackson will be memorialized at what will probably be a spectacular public service (I’ll be watching). On the radio I heard this news story though of how the King of Pop is already been seen again and again.
The image here is said to be that of MJ himself, found in the stump of a birch tree, in Stockton, CA. You be the judge.
What I found interesting is the people in the news clip. Here is a quote from them, “Michael Jackson is an icon to us. To Stockton, Michael Jackson meant more to us than Jesus, to some people. I think they are both the same, they are both icons.”
WOW! is all I can say.
I don’t see it, but then again I’m not good at that type of thing. I see more of Gene Simmons.

The Diva, born February 21, 1933 in Tryon (North Carolina/USA) – † April 21, 2003 in Carry-le-Rouet, France).who was as well an Honorary Doctor in Music and Humanities, has an unrivalled legendary status as one of the very last ‘griots”. She is and will forever be the ultimate songstress and storyteller of our times.
Listen to many of her songs on YouTube of 1962, as for example:
- Nina Simone – Mississippi Goddam;
- Nina Simone – Erets Zavat Chalav – 1962;
- nina simone – my baby just cares for me;
- and many more …
Nina Simone / Eunice Kathleen Waymon (02-21.33 – 04-21-03)
Read on BBC: Jazz legend Simone dies.
Bio, by Roger Nupie, President “International Dr. Nina Simone Fan Club“: Excerpts: … Eunice Waymon was born in Tryon, North Carolina as the sixth of seven children in a poor family. The child prodigy played piano at the age of four. With the help of her music teacher, who set up the “Eunice Waymon Fund”, she could continue her general and musical education. She studied at the Julliard School of Music in New York. To support her family financially, she started working as an accompanist. In the summer of 1954 she took a job in an Irish bar in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The bar owner told her she had to sing as well. Without having time to realize what was happening, Eunice Waymon, who was trained to become a classical pianist, stepped into show business. She changed her name into Nina (”little one”) Simone (”from the French actress Simone Signoret”) …
… When four black children were killed in the bombing of a church in Birmingham in 1963, Nina wrote Mississippi Goddam, a bitter and furious accusation of the situation of her people in the USA. The strong emotional approach of this song and the others on her first Philips record (”Nina Simone In Concert”), would become another characteristic in her art. She uses her voice with its remarkable timbre and her careful piano playing as means to achieve her artistic aim: to express love, hate, sorrow, joy, loneliness – the whole range of human emotions – through music, in a direct way …
… On July 24, 1998 Nina Simone was a special guest at Nelson Mandela’s 80th Birthday Party. On October 7, 1999 she received a Lifetime Achievement in Music Award in Dublin. In 2000 she received Honorary Citizenship to Atlanta (May 26), the Diamond Award for Excellence in Music from the Association of African American Music in Philadelphia (June 9) and the Honorable Musketeer Award from the Compagnie des Mousquetaires d’Armagnac in France (August 7).
Dr. Simone passed away after a long illness at her home in her villa in Carry-le-Rouet (South of France) on April 21, 2003. As she had wished, her ashes were spread in different African countries.

Civil rights era (1964–1974): Simone was made aware of the severity of racial prejudice in America by her friends Langston Hughes, James Baldwin and Lorraine Hansberry (author of the play Raisin in the Sun). In 1964, she changed record labels, from the American Colpix to the Dutch Philips, which also meant a change in the contents of her recordings. Simone had always included songs in her repertoire that hinted to her African-American origins (such as “Brown Baby” and “Zungo” on Nina at the Village Gate in 1962). But on her debut album for Philips, Nina Simone In Concert (live recording, 1964), Simone for the first time openly addresses the racial inequality that was prevalent in the United States with the song “Mississippi Goddam”. It was her response to the murder of Medgar Evers and the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four black children. The song was released as a single, being boycotted in certain southern states. With “Old Jim Crow” on the same album she reacts to the Jim Crow Laws.
From then onwards, the civil rights message was standard in Simone’s recording repertoire, where it had already become a part of her live performances. She covered Billie Holiday’s (”Strange Fruit”) on Pastel Blues (1965), which is a statement on the lynching of black men in the South, and sang the W.Cuney poem “Images” on Let It All Out (1966), talking about the absence of pride in the African-American woman. Simone wrote the song “Four Women” and sings it on Wild Is the Wind (1966). It is about four different stereotypes of African-American women.
Simone again moved from Philips to RCAvictor in 1967. She sang “Backlash Blues”, written by her friend Langston Hughes on her first RCA album, Nina Simone Sings The Blues (1967). On Silk & Soul (1967) she recorded Billy Taylor’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” and “Turning Point”. The last song illustrates how white children would get indoctrinated with racism at an early age. The album Nuff Said (1968) contains live recordings from the Westbury Music Fair, April 7th 1968, three days after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King. She dedicated the whole performance to him and sang “Why? (The King Of Love Is Dead)”, a song written by her bass player directly after the news of Dr. King’s death had reached them.
Together with Langston Hughes, Simone turned the late Lorraine Hansberrys unfinished play “To Be Young, Gifted and Black” into a civil rights song. She performed it live on Black Gold (1970). A studio recording was released as a single, and the song became the official “National Anthem of Black America” and has been covered by Aretha Franklin (on 1972s Young, Gifted and Black) and Donny Hathaway.

Lord Frederick Leighton
The Complete Works
Lord Frederic Leighton (1830-1896), was one of the most famous British artists of the nineteenth century. The recipient of many national and international awards and honours, he was well acquainted with members of the royal family and with most of the great artists, writers and politicians of the late Victorian era.
He was born in Scarborough, Yorkshire to a medical family. His father was a doctor, and his grandfather had been the primary physician to the Russian royal family in St. Petersburg, where he amassed a large fortune. Leighton's career was always cushioned by this family wealth, his father paying him an allowance throughout his life. Leighton's parents were worried about his choice of career as he wrote in a letter of 1879, "My parents surrounded me with every facility to learn drawing, but, strongly discountenanced the idea of my being an artist unless I could be eminent in art".


It’s rare to find a person in this world that truly moves us. Shakes us to our core. Inspires us with their work to create new passions and pursue life in completely different ways. And when we find those people, we always want to hold onto a part of them as a reminder of new inspiration and joy for the future. For myself as well as many others, Vonda Shepard is one of those people. Since her days of belting out songs on Ally McBeal, Shepard has been wowing the American public with her soulful sound. She has a smile that lights up the room, a sharp sense of humor and an undeniably beautiful voice that makes her truly shine among the endless sea of musical monotony. And for one special night, One World Theatre was able to host this fantastic artist and share her gorgeous talent with Austin.
I had the opportunity to meet with Shepard before the show, discovering she is just as charming and friendly offstage as she is on. According to the songstress, she found her passion in music at nine years old when she began to write poetry in her spare time, turning verses into songs. This undeniable desire to create music eventually led Shepard to sing back-up for the likes of Jackson Browne, and start her own solo career where she was discovered by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley, lending her voice and songs to every episode.
Millions of album sales and countless performances later, Shepard remains a tried and true musician, continuing to create new sounds and head out on tour to share her music with the fans. When asking what continues to motivate her craft, Shepard described the unwavering connection she still feels with her audience at every show, as well as the adventure and excitement of stepping into a new city each time, and discovering the nature around her. Now about to embark on a solo tour in Europe, the songbird also discussed her current songwriting process, expressing how every artist needs the “courage to create” in order to unlock their own inner talent. While Shepard has toured all over the nation in addition to Europe, she described One World Theatre as being a “top of the line” venue, providing the quintessential Tuscan villa backdrop reminiscent of her travels, as well as a company that has taken great care of her crew.
As for her performance, it’s safe to say this gifted artist blew the entire audience away. From singing Aretha Franklin covers, to songs off her latest album, From the Sun, to her classics like “Searching My Soul,” Shepard electrified the stage with her other-worldly voice and commanding presence. In between songs, she peppered the show with tales of singing back-up for Al Jarreau in Europe and had the entire audience in laughing fits after performing an impromptu “funny dance” on stage. Who knew she was a such a comedian too? It was a real treat to see an artist with her capabilities and notoriety be so down-to-earth and approachable. As I was listening, I could feel goosebumps the more she sang knowing myself and everyone in the audience was getting the rare opportunity to see this striking musician live, and in such an intimate venue. Inside the One World Theatre, there is truly not a bad seat in the house. Furthermore, hearing her buttery voice resonate through the entire music hall made you feel as though you were standing within inches of her, an experience that could never be duplicated in a large auditorium. The icing on the cake was having legendary guitarist James Ralston (Tina Turner) and bassist Jim Hansen (Bruce Springsteen) combine with Shepard to create a spirited indie soul sound that made smiling contagious among the audience.
There is no denying the pure magic that is felt at One World Theatre. Among the rolling hills just west of the city, this unique music hall is full of incredible ambience and one of the most private and exclusive stages in which to see world-renowned artists. Getting the chance to be a part of the Vonda Shepard performance in this space not only created a fantastic production, but a priceless experience that could only be cultivated at this theatre. For anyone who hasn’t experienced a show, I urge you to come and see what you are missing out on. One night here, and you will understand why people continue to frequent this theatre for years to come.
Author’s Note: A special thanks to Vonda Shepard for her time spent interviewing and incredible graciousness. You are a true inspiration to us all.

QUEEN VICTORIA: A Life
by Lytton Strachey
Publisher: I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd
Publication Date: 30 Mar 2012
In this highly acclaimed, classic biography of Queen Victoria who, with her irresistible sincerity defined an entire era and etched her name into history by the power and strength of her personality, Lytton Strachey created a humane portrait of the iconic monarch whose unaffected simplicity, youthful vitality and deep conscientiousness won the hearts of her people.
Queen Victoria caught the vivid imagination of the admiring public, for the dazzling symbol of England’s amazing might rested upon her youthful head. As the Queen of England, the wheels of monarchy revolved around her in all its pomp and glory. She was an extraordinary character whose strong personality was clearly visible through the swirling mists encircling royalty.
Queen Victoria’s life shone in the spotlight of conscientious duty. She spent her time fulfilling her numerous public responsibilities and attending to family cares. Personal portraits of the Queen, Prince Albert and their nine children present her as a loving mother enjoying precious family time. The queen recalled fondly the evenings when she and Prince Albert dined alone and looked at their photographs together. “It was such an amusement,” she wrote in her journal. “Such an interest.” Her truthfulness and sincerity were applauded. There was a striking transparency in her truthfulness – not the slightest exaggeration of facts. Her letters were a spontaneous burst of expression. Her style was exactly suited to her thoughts and feelings. Her language had a very personal flavour.
Through her writings, Queen Victoria touched the heart of the public who instinctively sensed her irresistible sincerity. It was an endearing trait and people responded warmly to her. As she aged gracefully through two-thirds of the nineteenth century, Queen Victoria became a symbol of Time. Firm and tactful, dignified and gracious, she was a model Sovereign. One of her ardent admirers described her as “the pattern and paragon of womanhood.”
Queen Victoria was a woman with a heart, sharing selflessly in the sorrows of her people and in their personal bereavements and sufferings. Her tears of sympathy were mingled with her nation’s tears. She was quite undoubtedly the “people’s Queen.” In an age of democracy, Queen Victoria was one of the most democratic rulers of her day.
On 20th June, 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the throne and died on 22nd January, 1901 after an illustrious reign of sixty-three years, seven months and two days, setting the first record for the longest reign in the history of the British throne, until Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain became the world’s oldest reigning monarch and the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
In the most remarkable of all British reigns, at the end of the nineteenth century and the dawn of the twentieth century, Queen Victoria’s long and illustrious life finally came to an end. She made the “Victorian Age ” the most splendid era in the history of Britain.


The Joanna Storm Collection
Joanna Storm was one of the most "in-demand" porn starlets in the 1980s having performed in over 80 xxx movies with many of the legends of the adult industry. Her long blonde hair, tight petite body and sexy face made her an instant fan favorite and kept her in demand for a decade fucking and sucking in front of the camera. Joanna Storm, born December 1, 1954, was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2009. She was known for her great sense of humor and superb acting skills as well as her passion for sex. Joanna had a cute look about her that cast her easily in the young lady roles that were so prevalent during the classic era of porn. Her most popular roles were in the movies Sexcapades, Devil in Miss Jones 2, Private Teacher and Hot Dreams; it is clear her bubbly personality, plus heated sex scenes, added greatly to each film's success.
Joanna Storm made a comeback in the 2000s appearing as a 50-plus MILF; however, her performances were not as highly rated. Most porn observers felt that, unfortunately, Joanna had lost that "cute touch" that made her a porn legend. In her more recent MILF work, Joanna was clearly out of shape, worn out, had too many tattoos and left her fans wishing she had stayed retired and hung up her g-string after a successful career in the 1980s as a sex performer and feature dancer.

Norka Luque has an unforgettable voice. Norka is one of those singers that stays in the minds of everyone who hears her. Her music is unique, upbeat and contagious. Thanks to Grammy award-winning producer, Emilio Estefan, Norka music is being discovered by audiences all over the Latino world, and it won’t be long before Norka is a household name in cities across America. Producing #1 hits is not unusual for Estefan. Emilio is the man behind Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. Emilio knows good salsa singers when he hears them, but Norka’s voice goes beyond salsa. Just like Gloria Estefan, Norka Luque’s voice has a universal appeal, and that is a rare quality in the music world.
Norka started singing in her hometown of Caracas when she was eight. Her parent knew she had the talent to be a star, so they encourage her by providing love, as well as voice and piano lessons. Norka continued to sing while she was in school, but she decided to study in France after she graduated from secondary school in Venezuela. While she studied business administration, she sang in a small rock band on the weekends. Her dynamic and addictive voice drew young dancers on the dance floor, and it wasn’t long before there were lines outside of the French clubs where her band, Bad Moon Rising, played.
Norka was always in love with Ricky Martin’s music and after attending one of his concerts in France she decided to move to Miami and sing for a living. Norka worked the Latino club circuit in Miami for a couple of years. When the word got out that a young Venezuelan singer was packing the dance clubs, Emilio Estefan, and his crew decided to check her out. Estefan immediately offered Norka a deal to produce her sound and cut a single. In 2011, her first single “I can Do It Tu” was a hit in the Latino community. Her 2012 release, Milagro made it to #11 on the Billboard Dance Charts. Milagro was #1 in Venezuela for 14 straight weeks. Norka’s 2016 release Tomorrowland is another dance hit, and there is more to come from the collaboration between Estefan, Norka, and composer Archie Pena.
Norka has a special talent. Thanks to Estefan and composer Archie Pena, Norka’s talent will be part of the American music scene for years to come. Visit her Facebook page to learn more.

THE death of Cranberries lead singer Dolores O’Riordan in London at the age of 46 was undoubtedly the biggest showbiz-related story of January 2018.
Our challenge was to convey the most up-to-date and interesting details about her passing as sensitively as possible. We also wanted to engage her fans and the public, and pay proper tribute to her significant creative output, by compiling the best background information on her life and work.
Below are examples of the front pages I worked on, including a minimal, un-tabloid-like (read: tasteful) treatment for a special memorial pullout.
It was important to me that we did our very best on our coverage of Dolores’ death because it bridged two major interests in my life: music and news.

So many black folks have achieved so much in their lives, often in the face of serious difficulties and adversity. I could write a blog every day of the year for the next 10 years about these people, there are so many. So far, I’ve written about the life of an outstanding sportsman and a super successful business woman.
This blog will be about a musician; equally outstanding and equally amazing. As you can imagine, it has been difficult to choose just one, there are so many great black musicians. Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye to name but a few. Many of them have fascinating stories, all of them are American and most of them deeply religious having started their musical careers in the black churches in the US, known for nurturing and developing musical talent. After a major tussle with myself, I settled on writing about Stevie Wonder, to me he is so very interesting. The fascinating thing about Stevie Wonder is that he was a child prodigy, naturally gifted and a real talent.
Stevie was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on May 13 1950, the third of six children to Calvin Judkins and Lula Mae Hardaway. Owing to his being born six weeks premature, the blood vessels at the back of his eyes had not yet reached the front and their aborted growth caused the retinas to detach. The medical term for this condition is retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP, and it was exacerbated by the oxygen therapy given while in his hospital incubator, Stevie Wonder was blind from birth.
When Stevie Wonder was four, his mother left his father and moved to Detroit with her children. He began playing instruments at age 4, all of which he taught himself. How does a kid that’s blind from birth teach himself how to play the harmonica, drums and piano by age four? How does he learn to understand and write music? Stevie was also active in the church choir from an early age and could sing beautifully.
The story goes that when the 11 year old Stevie was playing for some of his friends, Ronnie White of the Motown band ‘the Miracles’ was in the room and heard him play. He decided to take him along with his mother along to meet the owner of Tamla Motown Berry Gordy Jr. He auditioned for Berry Gordy Jr. who didn’t hesitate to sign the young musician to a record deal. In 1962, Little Stevie Wonder, as he was called , working with a Motown songwriter, released his debut album, Little Stevie Wonder the 12 Year Old Genius. The record was an immediate hit. What I find hard to get my head around is that Stevie Wonder was only 12 years old. He was hard working and committed to improving himself and never rested on his laurels. It was an unbelievable and thoroughly amazing achievement.
Stevie went on to study classical piano, he was driven and pushed hard to improve his musicianship and songwriting capabilities. In 1964, at the age of 14 years old he wrote the single “Uptight (Everything’s Alright).” I remember that song but didn’t know Stevie Wonder was only 14 when he wrote and performed it.
I find people with talents like these particularly fascinating because as the mother of three children, I had to persuade, cajole and bribe all of them to practice only one instrument in order for them to obtain a very average grade 2 in music.
The interesting thing about Stevie Wonder though, is that he – like only a handful of other artists – has stayed relevant and at the top of his game all of his working life. Incredible really when you consider how much the world has changed since the 1950s.
Stevie has been married twice; to Motown singer/songwriter and frequent collaborator Syreeta Wright from 1970, until their amicable divorce in 1972; and to fashion designer Kai Millard Morris from 2001- 2009. He has got seven children from his second marriage and from several other relationships. He is currently single.
You will all know the song ‘Isn’t she lovely’, one of Stevie’s biggest hits. Being the old romantic that I am, I love the story behind this song. Stevie met Yolanda Simmons when she applied for a job as secretary for his publishing company. Simmons bore Wonder a daughter on February 2, 1975: They called the baby Aisha. Aisha is African for “strength and intelligence”. After she was born, Stevie said “she was the one thing that I needed in my life and in my music for a long time. It was with this in mind that he wrote the single “Isn’t She Lovely”. In the song he pays homage to Yolanda for being the mother of the beautiful baby Aisha. So Romantic. Who wouldn’t want a song written about them?
Stevie has recorded more than 30 Top 10 hits, in his lifetime, won nearly two dozen Grammy awards, including one for lifetime achievement, and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Songwriters halls of fame. Though he hasn’t had a top ten hit for the last 10 years or so, I would still say that his accomplishments and achievements have been pretty amazing, certainly not bad for a poor black boy, not only born prematurely, but also blind.


Guys. I’m pretty sure Emma was abused at some point in her life. That looks like a cigarette burn. And I checked Jennifer Morrison pictures for any indication that it’s her scar. It’s not. It’s a makeup choice on the producers part. Emma has a cigarette burn on her left hand. I think it was probably from her time in the foster system.
Wow and now I want to go lay down and cry for a hundred years. Also is that a scar on the top of her wrist?
Bringing this back because: Could this have something to do with the thing about Emma’s past we’re going to find out about this season? The thing that makes it difficult for her to fully open up to a relationship with Hook?


Smokey Bear celebrated his 69th birthday today to much fan fair. It all began in 1944, when Smokey began spreading his message of fire prevention and he hasn't slowed down since!
He made several "e-appearances" today in honor of the big day and will be making in person appearances all over the country at state and national forests and parks this weekend. On a Twitter birthday chat this afternoon, Smokey answered questions from fans and provided tips on how they could prevent wildfires. And in case you were wondering, his birthday cake this year was organic honey.
Smokey also had the opportunity to reflect on his many years of educating the public in a guest blog on the Huffington Post. Wow! That bear has some great connections!

GILBERTSVILLE – Eleven-year-old rising country music artist and Gilbertsville native Rylee Lum recently took a promising shot at TV stardom on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
Lum’s manager and founder of Rising Star Productions Jake Cotten said the Gilbertsville-Mt. Upton sixth-grader was a standout in a group of local talent that traveled to the Dec. 17 auditions held in Manhattan’s Javits Center.
Cotten said he expects to hear definitively whether or not Lum made the show by late January, but called Lum’s mid-December audition process exceptional.
“Rylee went in and he did his song and then they had him do three more songs,” Cotten said, “and then, before he walked out the door, they stopped him again (and) brought him back in with three other producers.” After performing several more songs, Cotten said, the “miniature George Strait” was escorted to a taping session where he performed on camera and was later interviewed, all steps that left Cotten feeling hopeful for the young country crooner.
“There was a whole bunch (of talent) that went from this area,” Cotten said, “but of all (who) went down from here, he was the only one who got a second audition.”
Recalling a producer’s aside to him, Cotten said, “The words were, ‘few people get a second audition and even fewer people make it to recording and very, very few make it to the interview room.’” If Rylee is, in fact, called back in early 2018, Cotten said, the next step will be a trip to Los Angeles.
Cotten said his client is cautiously optimistic.
Cotten said, “He’s excited, but he’s also trying not to get too excited in case something happens and he doesn’t get on.”
Cotten said Rylee, who comes from a long line of musicians, will stay busy between now and then recording his first EP.
“We’re in the studio all this week,” Cotten said, noting that the forthcoming album will include seven tracks, all written by Rylee.
“He writes all his own music (and) he is also a phenomenal guitar player,” Cotten said. “He really is a musical genius. I’ve been involved in music my whole life and never met anyone like him.”
Rylee, a self-taught instrumentalist, has been playing and singing for a little over two years. He gets help with lyric writing from his father Matt, often while milking cows on the family dairy farm.
Matt Lum called the America’s Got Talent process “very exciting,” but said, whatever his son does musically, he and his wife Amber are always proud.
“We’re very proud of him,” he said. “Each time he learns new stuff and performs it, it just makes us very proud.”
Rylee attributed his musical aptitude to his family’s longstanding traditions within the country genre.
“It kind of runs in my family with country music, so I just kind of picked up on it,” he said. “I like performing in front of a crowd and music is just my thing.”
Rylee’s advice for aspiring young musicians and singers? “Keep practicing and keep going for it. You can’t ever stop.”

It’s the look, the sound, the flirtatious feeling she’s giving me, just like Toni Braxton did back in the 90s. It’s R&B, the way it supposed to be!..
With her P!NK and Rihanna-like take-no-sh*t attitude, she shows that you can stand up for yourself!..
By immersing himself in classic flavours, he’s bringing back R&B, just the way it supposed to be. Nostalgic, yet refreshing!..


Former Spidey actor Andrew Garfield has vehemently denied that he is appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s third entry into their Spider-Man franchise ‘No Way Home.’ Despite his persistence, alleged photos of him appearing on the set with current Peter Parker actor Tom Holland leaked online. Garfield was directly about these photos on ‘The Tonight Show’ by host Jimmy Fallon where ‘The Social Network’ actor called them “photoshop” fakes.
Fallon told Garfield that photos of him on the set were “going around,” according to SyFy.
“You’re sure about that,” asked Garfield. As the audience started to react, he admitted, “I heard about it, and I did see it, and it’s a Photoshop.”
The audience began to shout back “no” to which Garfield replied, “I’m trying to manage expectations. You say ‘No.'”
Garfield then went to praise Tom Holland for his portrayal of Spider-Man, saying, “Tom Holland is just the perfect Peter Parker and Spider-Man.”
You can check out the interview:
In an interview with Collider, Garfield reflected on his time filming ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and its sequel.
“I mean, I feel a lot of ways about it. I’m really glad I did it. There’s not one part of me that regrets it at all. I feel so grateful for all the friendships and relationships I built and the experience. I got to have that experience of being a part of that kind of behemoth kind of thing, and playing a character that has meant the world to me since I was three, as we all know. So there was nothing, and I learned so much about myself, about how I like to work, how I don’t like to work, about what storytelling means to me, about what it doesn’t mean to me,” he said.
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ is directed by Jon Watts and expected to hit theaters December 17, 2021.

Paul Sherwen (1956 – 2018) Paul Sherwen was an institution in cycling and beyond. To the cycling community, he was a legend- champion rider and, with his friend and collaborator Phil Liggett, the “voice of cycling” throughout the English-speaking world. His impact reached well beyond cycling, from his wildlife preservation efforts to his other charitable pursuits in Africa, where he first lived as a child and made his home as an adult. He brought his genuine and generous spirit to everything he did. Paul died tragically of heart failure at his home in Uganda on December 2, 2018.
Paul was a good friend to Veo, and we will miss him terribly. He was the first celebrity to endorse Veo, just to help out with a product he loved; he never asked or accepted compensation. We first met him 2017 Tour of California, and spent more time with him at the 2017 Colorado Classic and 2018 Tour of California. We shared an interest in the TIBCO/SVB women’s cycling team, which gave me several opportunities to spend some relaxed time with this extraordinary man. He had an exceptionally quick wit, and it was easy to see why he was able to engage audiences over the very long stretches of broadcast in the Tour de France and other races. He was interesting and interested, and it came through in the way he interacted with Phil Liggett and their viewers, exactly the kind of person you would like in your home. I think that’s why so many enjoyed him every July- he was just plain fun to be around. And beyond his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport, his human side always came through, from his caring for African wildlife to his love of family.
The news was just too shocking; no one was ready to bid farewell to this treasured individual. –Jim


Dusty Springfield! One of the greats!
On this day, March 2, 1999, British singer Dusty Springfield (Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien) died after a long battle against cancer, aged 59. With her distinctive sensual mezzo-soprano sound, she was an important blue-eyed soul singer and at her peak was one of the most successful British female performers, with six top 20 singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 and sixteen on the UK Singles Chart from 1963 to 1989. She is a member of the US Rock and Roll and UK Music Halls of Fame.
International polls have named Springfield among the best female rock artists of all time. Her image, supported by a peroxide blonde bouffant hairstyle, evening gowns, and heavy make-up, as well as her flamboyant performances made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties. After being a member of pop-folk vocal trio, The Springfields, with her brother Tom, her solo career began in 1963 with the upbeat pop hit, "I Only Want to Be with You". Among the hits that followed were "Wishin' and Hopin' " (1964), "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" (1964), "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (1966), and "Son of a Preacher Man" (1968). In collaboration with Pet Shop Boys, she returned to the Top 10 of the UK and US charts in 1987 with "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" Two years later, she had two other UK hits on her own with "Nothing Has Been Proved" and "In Private." Subsequently, in the mid-1990s, owing to the inclusion of "Son of a Preacher Man" on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, interest in her early output was revived.
Springfield was voted the Top Female British Artist of the year in the New Musical Express poll, topping Lulu, Sandie Shaw, and Cilla Black. She received the award again for the next three years. Dusty Springfield recorded the Bacharach-David composition "The Look of Love" for the James Bond parody film Casino Royale. For "one of the slowest-tempo hits" of the sixties, Bacharach created a "sultry" feel by the use of "minor-seventh and major-seventh chord changes", while Hal David's lyrics "epitomized longing and, yes, lust". In 1968 Hoping to reinvigorate her career and boost her credibility, Springfield signed with Atlantic Records, the label of her idol, Aretha Franklin. The Memphis sessions at the American Sound Studio were produced by Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd, and Arif Mardin; with the back-up vocal band Sweet Inspirations; and the instrumental band Memphis Cats. The producers recognised that Springfield's natural soul voice should be placed at the forefront, rather than competing with full string arrangements. The album Dusty in Memphis received excellent reviews on its initial releases both in the UK and US and included the hit "Son Of A Preacher Man". sexy evening gowns
In November during the Memphis sessions Springfield suggested to Wexler (one of the heads of Atlantic Records) that he should sign the newly formed UK band, Led Zeppelin. She knew their bass guitarist, John Paul Jones, from his session work on her earlier albums. Without ever having seen them and partly on her advice, Wexler signed Led Zeppelin to a $200,000 deal with Atlantic, which, at the time, was the biggest contract for a new band.
Some of Springfield's biographers and journalists have speculated that she had two personalities: shy, quiet, Mary O'Brien, and the public face she had created as Dusty Springfield. An editorial review at Publishers Weekly of Valentine and Wickham's 2001 biography, Dancing with Demons, finds "... the confidence [Springfield] exuded on vinyl was a facade masking severe insecurities, addictions to drink and drugs, bouts of self-harm and fear of losing her career if exposed as a lesbian". Simon Bell, one of Springfield's session singers, disputed the twin personality description: "It's very easy to decide there are two people, Mary and Dusty, but they were the one person. Dusty was most definitely Dusty right to the end." In the 1970s and early 1980s, Springfield's alcoholism and drug addiction affected her musical career. She was hospitalised several times for self-harm by cutting herself, and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
From mid-1966 to the early 1970s Springfield lived in a domestic partnership with fellow singer Norma Tanega and later enjoyed a relationship with Canadian singer Carole Pope. In 1982 Springfield met an American actress Teda Bracci at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting; the pair moved in together in April 1983, and seven months later, they exchanged vows at a wedding ceremony which was not legally recognised under California law. The pair had a "tempestuous" relationship which led to an altercation with both Springfield and Bracci hospitalised; Springfield had been smashed in the mouth by Bracci wielding a saucepan and had teeth knocked out, requiring plastic surgery. The pair had separated within two years.
In the middle of 1994, Springfield was diagnosed with breast cancer. The last studio track Springfield recorded was George and Ira Gershwin's song "Someone to Watch Over Me" – in London in 1995 for an insurance company TV ad. She died in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire on 2 March 1999.

Singer Songwriter Classy Silhouette is making a lot of changes here lately. First her genre…She started out as RnB/Soul singer with a jazz background and now lately it seems as if Hip Hop and dance music is her first love, then her name… she finally decided to make her name Classy Silhouette which she was already known by to many… an official stage name, and now her hair color…no more dark sad siren for her. She is now golden as her highlighted hair glistens in the light of the sun. It looks like we should keep an eye on Classy Silhouette. You never know what to expect from her in the near future.

Her monotone vocals almost sound as if she is casting a spell on you…luring you into her deep mysterious world beneath the sea. For seven whole minutes you are entranced and by the end of the song you are convinced that she is vying for your love and you must save her from her loneliness and that you can live with her in the mysterious waters of the sea of love.
