I have a bone to pick with Taylor Swift.
The megastar who captures millions in her young, beautiful, twentysomething, conquer-the-world grasp put on a great Detroit show last night. No joke. But I was disappointed to recognize that she might have been lip-syncing some of her songs and autotuning to boot.
I’ll be blunt: I paid $150 per ticket to take three children to see this superstar they love. We sat so far up in the uppermost level that I thought we might be literally the last people out of there at night’s end. That’s a nice chunk of change for nosebleed seats where even the giant TV screens were a squint to see.
The show was fantastic. She wears beautiful costumes that exhibit her flawless body, she dances, she sings, she’s dramatic, her makeup was perfect. She bops around a stage that lifts and swings and turns her around in impressive fashion.
In short, she gives good show.
Her background dancers also wore exquisite costumes and danced in sync, making for a true show – as if telling the stories behind her songs. (They all boil down to: love is hard, I got hurt, screw you for hurting me, I’ll come out on top, who needs guys anyway.)
She blabbed quite a lot about being born in 1989, which made me feel insanely old, since that’s the year I graduated from high school. However, since the theme of the concert was loving the ’80s, I did appreciate all the Gogo’s and Madonna she played beforehand.
It’s nice that she’s friends with Lena Dunham and Selena Gomez and kudos to Taylor for filming her besties and sharing their tidbits of advice on how important good friendships are on big screens while we waited for the show to start. All the many young girls among the 51,000-strong crowd were getting good messages.
So she’s using her power for good.
Yes, she’s a good songwriter, and yes she has a beautiful voice when you can actually hear it authentically in the moment. Yes, she can play several instruments, though I’m not certain she actually did last night; that might’ve been for show, too. Now, I’m wondering about the whole thing.
My daughter and I feel kind of betrayed. We could hear her recorded songs from home. We didn’t need to shlep out in torrential rain, pay 30 bucks to park, skip through cold puddles and wade through crowds to ascend to our very high seats, and pay $12 for cotton candy, just to see a tiny dot of the real celeb lip-sync her way through her work.
I don’t know for sure, but now I wonder. And it definitely took the show down a few notches for me.
In my profession – and in most professions – there is no equivalent to auto-tune and lip-sync. You have to actually do the work – or you lose the client.
I can’t fake my way through anything. I have to do my best work every single time. Otherwise, sooner or later I’d be found out. And it’s my reputation is on the line so why would I try to create an easy-way-out anyway?
Why doesn’t Ms. Swift see it the same way? She’s got a lot more on the line than I do.
Why is it acceptable behavior for superstars to find the shortcuts and cheap shots?
It’s in the line of activities like cheating in football games by deflating the pigskin or taking steroids to flub your way through a bike race. It’s just not OK. And when found out, careers are destroyed.

Investigative journalist Anthony Summers has published the New York Times bestseller GODDESS: THE SECRET LIVES OF MARILYN MONROE.
Among the revelations was new evidence on the long-rumored affairs between Monroe and President John F. Kennedy and his brother Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.
Summers had tracked down Jeanne Carmen, who was then living in Newport Beach, California, and interviewed her extensively about her career and relationships with such notable Hollywood entertainers as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Monroe.
Carmen confirmed that she was present during romantic trysts between President Kennedy and Monroe that took place at Lawford’s Santa Monica beachhouse.
Carmen also confirmed that she was present during Robert F. Kennedy’s romantic trysts with Monroe and that, on a dare, the threesome ventured out to a nude beach in Malibu north of Point Dume. Kennedy wore a disguise made up of a baseball cap, sunglasses and fake goatee-style beard most likely borrowed from the studio makeup and FX department at Monroe’s studio 20th Century Fox

ANDY KAYES HIP HOP (FR-UK)
Andy Kayes is an English MC who's often been referred to by the media as a hip hop globetrotter. He travels around the world presenting his work with lyrics describing everyday life and events in a way only he knows how. Whether it is through the episodes of "J'irai rapper chez vous" (home invasion), or the various stage appearances he makes with Bonetrips, he comes across as a unique rapper with a truly technical and edgy flow.
Author of a first album "Alone in Numbers" released in February 2012 (Kayes production/Musicast) Andy Kayes quickly made an impact. The album includes 12 tracks, and several of these feature some famous names from the American underground scene (Copywrite, Mr Lif, Goretex & AfuRa). "Alone in Numbers" stays true to the ethos of Andy Kayes. Each track oozes his authenticity and the standards he upholds at every one of his stage appearances. Standards that are found as much in his texts and the themes he evokes, as in the flow and production (with Bonetrips, Chicho and Tcheep behind every track).
To accommodate his liking for travel as well as getting his texts known throughout Europe, Andy Kayes has made four episodes of "J'irai rapper chez vous". In the videos he can be seen alongside Yarah Bravo, Jehst, Amewu, Dj Simsima etc .... The aim of the series, developed by the Aucune Notoriete video crew, is for the English MC to get himself invited into the homes of other rappers or producers and to film freestyle sessions with them. This series will be resumed at the beginning of 2013, and in the meantime Andy Kayes is already working on his second LP alongside Bonetrips, who is the producer of the whole of this second album.
Without being the most active person on the social or virtual networks, Andy Kayes doesn't stop working, and this can be seen and heard on all of his projects.Every appearance he makes thrusts him further forward on the hip hop underground scene.

As it’s May 4th, we should all remember how amazing Carrie Fisher was and how she was an advocate for mental health issues. She taught so many people to find acceptance in themselves when it came to their mental health and to never let anyone tell you can’t do a damn thing because of it. She was so unapologetic for not only being Bipolar but being a woman in Hollywood. She was a gift and treasure. As someone who battles with mental health issues and constantly feels ashamed and out of place because of it, I have always been really inspired by her and the way she molded her life out of what she dealt with. How she created everyday out of the very thing that always feels like my downfall. I aspire to live like that, to take my struggles and make something great from them.
Remembering The Self Rescuing Princess Thank you, Carrie. And May The Fourth Be With You ✨

With all of the curiocity surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith, I visited her personal Web site, annanicole.com, on Friday and all that was there was a black background and the words “Anna Nicole Smith 1967-2007” (as of this writing, it has since been replaced with a photo of her and the dates).
That creeped me out. Why? Because I was born in 1967! It has nothing to do with her age as compared to my own. It was more to do with the fact that I saw a date range for a death that started with the same year I was born.
However this was not the first time I was creeped out over this. In 1994, shortly after the death of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, t-shirts were being worn with his picture, and his name and birth and death years. Again, 1967 was right in front of me.
Yet another reminder to make the most of our days...Diversions • (0) Comments • Permalink

Everywhere At Once
Though it seems cliched to use the word prolific to describe musician Steven Wilson, there is hardly a better way to note his seemingly inexhaustible cache of projects. Best known as founder member of the heavy progressive outfit Porcupine Tree, he also teams with Aviv Geffen for the equally excellent Blackfield. As a producer he has been affiliated with Opeth, and his recent remixes of early King Crimson albums, and more recently Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”, have brought kudos from fans and the artists themselves. This is not to mention his other creative outlets Bass Communion and No-Man.
On November 11, 2011 Wilson treated faithful New York fans to an in store appearance at Park Row’s J&R Electronics, one of the few bastions of “deep catalog” music shopping left in the city. The nearly 300 attendees got a live appetizer of the guitarist/singer’s newest solo album “Grace for Drowning” and the Best Buy Theater show scheduled that night. Flanked by flute player Theo Travis and keyboardist Adam Holzman, Steven offered “Postcard” and “Deform To Form A Star”, both from the new record. During the following meet and greet he gave a generous amount of chat time to each fan (considering the impressive lunch time turn-out) and signed copies of the new record. The album is available in several formats including standard CD, double vinyl, and a Blu-Ray DVD package with 5.1 mix, video extras and demos.
PiercingMetal’s Ken Pierce was on board for the appearance as well as the evening’s solo show while I headed back to Brooklyn for the first of four nights of garage band blow-out at Norton Record’s 25th Anniversary. I’ll post a link to Ken’s review and photos of the Best Buy show as soon as it goes live.
Christa Titus covered the after-party for Billboard Magazine.
A wonderfully thorough, completely obsessive, discography of Wilson’s work can be found here.

YOU may not think of David Mamet, the prolific author of angrified and angrifying plays and films, as an insecure fellow. But there was a day not so long ago, he says, that in an agonizing fit of self-doubt, he sought out his wife, Rebecca Pidgeon, an actress and singer, and in a sort of desperate way, proclaimed his consuming love for her. What, he asked, could have persuaded her to marry him, save him from himself, miserable wretch that he obviously was?
“She looked at me,” Mr. Mamet says, shifting his mimicry from his own earnest pleading to his wife’s deadpan. “And she said, ‘Well, I don’t know, you seemed like a nice guy.’ “
It’s a funny story for Mr. Mamet to tell on himself, a twinkly-eyed acknowledgment of his reputation as difficult, thorny and impatient. But then, you might not think of Mr. Mamet, a native Chicagoan, as a homebody either, or as a lover of quietude, isolation and coziness. And that’s what comes across here. The center of his universe is a lonely hilltop farmhouse that he shares with Ms. Pidgeon, his wife of three years, and their tiny daughter, Clara, who was born on Sept. 29.

He doesn’t have a specific fanmail address but you can try through this one: http://www.fanmail.biz/9401.html
I met him at the BAFTAs this year and was able to have a long (compared to a hi/bye thing) with him but that was only because I told his publicist about kissthefuture and I posting on http://jesse-eisenberg.com. You can read about it here! :)
As for you being able to meet him, the best thing to do is go to an event he is attending like a premiere or an award show. It’s hard to get to meet celebs there sometimes but you have to make sure you’re at the front and in a good spot!
It’s broken (something happened when we transferred hosts) and I don’t know how to fix it is the most truthful answer I can give you.
Yup! He said his first kiss was when he was filming Rodger Dodger and it was with Jennifer Beals. :)
It’s hard to pick just one. Firstly, he’s incredibly talented and picks good movies to showcase his talent. He’s seems like such an intelligent guy who’d just rather read a book and look after his cats than go out partying (the image of Jesse parting is rather hilarious, though). His awkwardness is so adorable and after meeting him at the BAFTAs this year, he seems like the sweetest, funniest and most sarcastic guy ever and it is just so endearing.
Plus, I mean…look at him:
Not exactly hard to look at, is he? ;)


Oprah Winfrey's speech Sunday at the annual Golden Globes set tongues wagging with speculation about her possibly running for president in 2020.
In accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Beverly Hills Hilton, Winfrey cited civil rights activist Rosa Parks and Recy Taylor, a black Alabama woman who fought for justice after being gang-raped in 1944. Taylor died last month at the age of 97.
"For too long," the entertainment mogul said, "women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up."
The DeMille award is a lifetime achievement award recognizing those who have made a huge impact on the entertainment business, dating back to Walt Disney, Darryl F. Zanuck, Maurice Chevalier, and DeMille himself in the 1950s. Acclaimed actress Meryl Streep had won the award in 2017, and her speech challenged Donald Trump ("When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose," she said at one point) — prompting push-back from the president-elect himself.
In wrapping up her speech Sunday, Winfrey said, "A new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure they are the leaders to take us to the time where nobody has to say ‘me too’ again.”
Winfrey's speech was followed by a flurry of Twitter posts praising her, including some by people projecting a political future for her.
"She’s running. A new day is on the way," tweeted performer Leslie Odom Jr.
"OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT!!!! #Oprah2020," wrote Larry Wilmore.
"Oprah/Michelle 2020," tweeted comedian Sarah Silverman, echoed by John Stamos' "#Oprah2020 !!!"
Host Seth Meyers raised the topic as well, noting in his opening monologue that in 2011 he had mocked Donald Trump as the White House Correspondents' Dinner as someone who should or would never be president.
"In 2011, I told some jokes about our current president at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, jokes about how he was unqualified to be president," he said. "And some have said that night convinced him to run. And if that's true, I would just like to say Oprah you will never be President."

How could you tell a Steven Prince story in two minutes?
With Levon Helm's passing, the time has come for me to revisit The Last Waltz, so tonight as a warm-up I checked out the other documentary Martin Scorsese completed in 1978: American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince. Best known for playing the gun salesman in Taxi Driver, Prince was such a fascinating figure that essentially all Scorsese had to do was turn Michael Chapman's camera on him and get him to talk about his family and his experiences as a drug addict (which overlapped with his time as Neil Diamond's road manager) to get a good film out of it. As in Italianamerican, Scorsese is an active participant, prodding Prince to tell certain stories (there are a few that he's reluctant to open up about, like how he managed to avoid getting drafted) and winding up in shot almost as much as his subject. And speaking of shots, at one point Prince describes how he had to give a woman who had overdosed on heroin an adrenaline shot, a story later appropriated by Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction. Of course, Prince retold one of his own stories in Richard Linklater's Waking Life, so it's not like he's averse to that sort of thing. It just would have been nice if Tarantino had acknowledged his source.

Born in Toronto, Canada, on September 25, 1932, Glenn Gould has been hailed internationally as one of the great musicians of the 20th century, and as a visionary thinker and multi-media artist who foresaw the profound impact of technology on culture and society. Initially acclaimed as a pianist of prodigious talent, Gould had a remarkable career that included recording, television, film, writing and producing radio documentaries, and composing and writing scholarly and critical work.
Glenn Gould had become a legend as a concert pianist before he was 30. His landmark 1955 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations was a runaway best-seller (and remains the best-selling classical instrumental recording of all time).
Despite this success, and a burgeoning international concert career, he chose to redirect his energies towards innovative ways to communicate music through the mass media. When he stopped giving public concerts in 1964 at the age of 32, his friends and closest colleagues predicted that his refusal to give live performances would destroy his career. With extraordinary foresight, however, he reinvented his career as a dedicated recording artist with CBS Records, now Sony Classical.
He influenced a new generation of performers and listeners through his illuminating interpretations of the music of a variety of composers, in particular, of Bach. His intensely personal and sometimes controversial interpretations both challenged and illuminated. They have been acclaimed as milestones in recorded music.
Gould’s passion for media and communication technology began with his long association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In addition to his numerous performances on radio, Gould broke new artistic ground with his documentaries on radio and his television essays and performances. Now republished, his writings reveal a profoundly individualistic musical insight and continue to stimulate interest among new audiences.
Gould’s untimely death on October 4, 1982, just days after his 50th birthday, was mourned by music lovers everywhere. Through his recordings and other contributions to the mass media, Glenn Gould has left a rich legacy of musical ideas and performances that find him, each year, the subject of new books, articles, plays, films and documentaries, which continue to challenge and inspire new generations.
His 75th anniversary year (2007-2008, International Year of Glenn Gould) and 80th anniversary year (2012) were commemorated by major film productions and music festivals, documentaries, symposia, museum exhibitions, broadcasts, art installations, plays and poetry, from Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Gstaad, Paris, Rome, Dublin, London, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, New York, Mexico City and Buenos Aires.
Glenn Gould’s originality, maverick determination to chart his own course, intellectual depth and the spiritual richness of his finest performances, have marked him as a global icon of excellence.

YouTuber Joe Sugg has been unveiled as the latest Strictly contestant.
“I don’t really know what I’m doing to be honest,” the 26-year-old vlogger and author said after his identity was revealed on the Radio 1 breakfast show.
Joe’s main YouTube channel, featuring pranks, dares and impressions, has more than eight million subscribers.
He becomes the fourth confirmed celebrity after broadcaster Katie Piper, Steps member Faye Tozer and Red Dwarf star Danny John-Jules.
Sugg, whose sister is fellow YouTube star Zoella, said he felt “chuffed” to be involved in the show, even if it was “totally out of his comfort zone”.
“I know it will be a huge challenge but that’s what life is all about I guess,” he said in a statement.
“Funnily enough I’m writing this statement whilst on the way to surprise my grandparents with the news,” he went on.
“They are going to be so happy, which will definitely make up for any embarrassment or cringe caused by my questionable rhythm.”
“So this is actually happening!” Sugg told his followers on Twitter. “I can’t dance but hopefully I’ll do you all proud and you can make some great memes out of me.”
The three other contestants were announced on Monday. Tozer described being on Strictly as “a dream come true” and promised to “relish every moment”.
John-Jules said he was “absolutely delighted” at the prospect of performing in “glittery spandex”.
The British actor is best-known for playing Cat in the cult-sci-fi comedy.

- ‘No plans’ for same-sex couples on Strictly
He said he has was looking forward to “getting into something more comfortable” after spending the last few months “on two wheels motorcycling around South America in pink leathers”.
His other recognisable roles include the policeman Dwayne Myers in the long-running BBC crime drama Death In Paradise and Barrington in the BBC comedy Maid Marian And Her Merry Men.
Tozer, meanwhile, said her participation represents “everything my nine-year-old self ever wanted from showbiz”.
The singer, actress and TV presenter rose to fame in 1997 as one of three female co-lead singers in British pop outfit Steps.
The group, completed by Lisa Scott-Lee, Ian “H” Watkins, Claire Richards and Lee Latchford-Evans, sold 20 million records worldwide throughout a five-year period.
This included three chart-topping albums in the UK as part of 14 consecutive UK top five singles – including two number ones.
After Steps disbanded in 2001, Tozer began a theatrical career in 2004 with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tell Me On A Sunday before rejoining Steps for their 2011 reunion.
Piper appeared on BBC Breakfast on Monday, where it was confirmed she would be taking part in Strictly.
The 34-year old former model claimed she lacked “natural rhythm” and said it was “a bit daunting” to be taking part in the programme.
She also admitted that when she told her husband about it, “he just thought I was joking”.
On Sunday, hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman revealed each of this year’s contestants had been given names of a type of cheese as a codename – to protect their identities in the run-up to the show.
In a video posted to Strictly’s official Twitter account, the presenters went through a number of different cheeses, giving clues to the celebrities’ identities.
Claudia and Tess return with Shirley Ballas heading up the panel of judges again.
Bruno Tonioli, Darcey Bussell and Craig Revel Horwood complete the line-up of experts.
It will be the first without dancer Brendan Cole, who confirmed he had been axed from the show earlier this year.
The new series will kick off with a launch show on BBC One in September, with the full series returning later on in the autumn.

After the final commercial break of the day, Bark was blinded by the stage lights when he stepped onto the Game Show Network stage. The synthesized theme song blared as the cameras swept over the crowd. Originally, VH1 was supposed to air America’s Next Top Billy Mays as a reality show over a period of six weeks, but when they opted to show season fifteen of Flavor of Love instead, the Game Show Network bought the rights to the program. Over a period of six days, men were tested on their Billy Mays-like qualities for a chance to win $10,000 and a contract with Church & Dwight, the makers of OxiClean.
“Bark Johnson!” the host announced through his skinny microphone.
Bark waved to the crowd holding signs saying things like, “Kaboom the Competition, Bark!” He had to remember to respond to the name Bark since it wasn’t his real name. Born Jaime Trevinelli, the producers said his name wasn’t butch enough, and they renamed him Bark Johnson. When he protested, they reminded him how lucky he was he looked white enough to even be considered for a spot in the show, because they knew America wasn’t going to replace Billy Mays with an Italian man.

Few artists from the Middle East have achieved the kind of international acclaim and fandom that Amr Diab enjoys. An Egyptian musician with an incredible knack for blending traditional Arabic music with international modern sounds, Diab is often referred to as the ‘Father of Mediterranean Music‘. With a career spanning over three decades, Diab’s contribution to the world of Arabic pop music is nothing short of monumental.
Early Life and Beginnings
Amr Diab was born on October 11, 1961, in Port Said, Egypt. His love for music manifested early, and by the age of six, he had already made his first on-stage appearance, impressing the audience with his singing abilities. Recognizing his talent, his family encouraged him to pursue music, leading him to study at the Cairo Academy of Art.
Musical Style and Innovation
What sets Diab apart from other Arabic artists is his distinctive musical style that incorporates a fusion of Egyptian and western rhythms. He has been instrumental in the evolution of the Arabic pop music genre, called Al Jeel, which translates to ‘generation music’. This genre masterfully combines traditional Arabic music with international modern sounds, including elements of pop, rock, jazz, and even reggae.
His breakthrough album, Habibi Ya Nour El Ain (My Darling, You Are the Glow in My Eyes), released in 1996, showcases this unique blend. The album became an international sensation, not just in Arabic speaking countries but across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Awards and Recognition

Many young fans started emulating his hairstyles, clothing choices, and even his distinctive dance moves.
Collaborations and Global Influence
Diab’s musical genius caught the attention of international artists, leading to various collaborations. His song “El Alem Alah” was used for the international film “The Dictator.” Additionally, global artists like Shakira have cited Diab as an influence, underscoring his reach beyond the Arab world.
Amr Diab’s personal life, like many celebrities, has been under the media microscope. He’s been married several times and is the father of four children: Nour, Kinzy, Jana, and Abdallah. His relationships and life events often became fodder for tabloids, but Diab has mostly managed to keep a dignified silence, letting his music speak for itself.
Legacy and Continued Impact
Decades later, Amr Diab has shown no signs of slowing down. He continues to produce music that resonates with both his long-time fans and newer generations. His ability to adapt and incorporate new musical trends while staying true to his roots is a significant reason for his sustained success.
Moreover, his influence is felt not just in the music industry but also in fostering cultural understanding. By blending Western and Arabic musical traditions, Diab has inadvertently bridged cultural gaps and introduced many around the world to the richness of Arabic music.
In an ever-evolving music landscape, the consistent popularity and influence of Amr Diab are truly remarkable. He’s not just a musician but a cultural phenomenon, proving that music knows no boundaries. With every new song and performance, he reaffirms his position as a beacon of Arabic pop music, bringing joy to millions worldwide.

Needless to say, decades later in the event the duo fundamentally first started dating, it noticed that these people were good for both, and you may currently had a friendship just like the first step toward their matchmaking.
Mila never ever desired to wed
Just after two years out of dating, Ashton Kutcher jumped the question so you can Mila Kunis inside (thru Insider).

Ashton and Mila keeps fascinating viewpoints into the child-rearing
Mila Kunis and you may Ashton Kutcher asked their 2nd child, son Dimitri Portwood, inside the ily, the couple apparently don’t believe throughout the star lifestyle of obtaining an excellent nanny, for every Buzzfeed. “We simply need to know all of our man. We should end up being the people that know very well what to-do in the event the baby’s weeping to really make the infant perhaps not cry any more,” Kutcher in past times informed Ellen DeGeneres.
The happy couple including be seemingly going outside the standard whenever you are considering making its babies a heredity. Considering ScreenRant, the pair dont plan on making kids its fortune given that needed their infants to focus their method as a consequence of lifetime. But not, Kutcher performed demonstrate that however be ready to assist their students present their own enterprises later on.
Several other unconventional child-rearing decision one to Kutcher and you will Kunis have made try not to ever promote their children Christmas merchandise. Kunis before admitted which they limit the number of gifts one to their children get for the holiday, and since the fresh kids’ grandparents often overload towards gift-offering, the two decided not to ever choose the children any extra gift suggestions.

Its down-to-planet build has made her or him a popular certainly one of admirers, just who choose to observe how far the happy couple has come more recent years.


Yesterday, popular mom blogger Heather Armstrong announced on her website, Dooce.com, that she and her husband, Jon, have decided to end their 10 year marriage, and noted that she and Jon have chosen to keep the details to the hows and whys private. Jon’s website posted an identical message – both promising they remain good friends.
It was almost exactly a year ago when Heather announced that she and Jon were going through a separation. Little was said about it at that time, too, though it was mentioned on Jon’s site that Heather was the one who asked for the divorce and hinted at Heather’s struggle with depression – something Heather has battled for years and chronicled in her blog after her first child was born.
Dooce.com is one of those mom blogs that draws you in because of Heather’s blatant honesty. She says all the things many of us are thinking, both loving on her kids and making fun of them in the same sentence, and revealing all the different parts that make her who she is – and make it ok for us to be who we are. Her public struggles have helped many women in the same position she’s been in as Heather gave others a sense that they weren’t weird, shameful, or alone in what they were going through.
So to not share something that is such a huge part of her life must be both relieving in the sense of maintaining some privacy, as well as painful to not be able to share it just as she has with every other struggle she’s gone through.
Are you a blogger? Do you blog about your family? How do you decide what’s ok to talk about publicly, or what’s better to be kept private? Do you ever struggle with this decision?

Been So Long (SIGNED BOOK) Jorma Kaukonen COA 3347
Been So Long: My Life and Music by Jorma Kaukonen
First Print - Edition Hardcover
Autographed / Hand Signed by Jorma Kaukonen
Certificate of Authenticity
From the man who made a name for himself as a founding member and lead guitarist of Jefferson Airplane comes a memoir that offers a rare glimpse into the heart and soul of a musical genius―and a vivid journey through the psychedelic era in America.
“Music is the reward for being alive,” writes Jorma Kaukonen in this candid and emotional account of his life and work. “It stirs memory in a singular way that is unmatched.” In a career that has already spanned a half century―one that has earned him induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, among other honors―Jorma is best known for his legendary bands Jefferson Airplane and the still-touring Hot Tuna. But before he won worldwide recognition he was just a young man with a passion and a dream.
Been So Long is the story of how Jorma found his place in the world of music and beyond. The grandson of Finnish and Russian-Jewish immigrants whose formative years were spent abroad with his American-born diplomat father, Jorma channeled his life experiences―from his coming-of-age in Pakistan and the Phillipines to his early gigs with Jack Casady in D.C. to his jam sessions in San Francisco with Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and other contemporaries―into his art in unique and revelatory ways. Been So Long charts not only Jorma’s association with the bands that made him famous but goes into never-before-told details about his addiction and recovery, his troubled first marriage and still-thriving second, and more. Interspersed with diary entries, personal correspondence, and song lyrics, this memoir is as unforgettable and inspiring as Jorma’s music itself.

You may love your favorite DJ’s music, but you’re probably totally unaware of just how much cash they pull in. Not only do they make plenty of cash from their live performances and their albums, but they also get money from sponsorships and other deals. Some are even sponsored by headphone companies — which may be why some DJs choose the headphones that they do.
So how much do your favorite DJs make? Here’s a list of some of the world’s highest-paid DJs.
Calvin Harris has been one of the highest-paid DJs in the world for some time now. Between releasing hit after hit, collaborating with plenty of famous artists, and even finding enough time to date Taylor Swift for a while, the DJ is seriously raking in the cash. Just how much cash? Well, in 2016 the DJ scored a massive $63 million — though in 2017 he took a slight pay-cut of a still very impressive $48.5 million.
Marshmello may look a little silly, but he has reason to smile — the DJ scored a hefty $21 million in 2017, thanks in large to a busy touring schedule. Marshmello has becoe known for some pretty high-profile collaborations, including one with Selena Gomez and another with Migos.
The Chainsmokers had a pretty stellar year last year too. According to Forbes’ list of world’s highest-paid DJ’s, the duo scored a pretty impressive $38 million — making them among the highest-paid DJs out there. The Chainsmokers are known for a number of high-profile collaborations, and perhaps the best known is their work with Halsey for the song “Closer,” and their collaboration with Coldplay, which resulted in “Something Just Like This.”
Tiësto has had a pretty stellar few years too. The Dutch DJ earned a mammoth $38 million in 2016, then stepping things up to a slightly more $39 million for 2017. That’s not a bad effort. Tiësto is known for some pretty great collaborations, including ones with Diplo, Aloe Blacc, and more.
David Guetta has been known at times in his career as arguably the best DJ in the world, and a big part of that has to do with his work producing songs like “I Gotta Feeling,” “One Love,” and more. In 2017, the French DJ scored a pretty great $25 million, which is no small feat.
Martin Garrix is one of the youngest DJs on this list, at a ripe age of 21, but he’s already accomplished a ton. In 2017, Forbes’ highest-paid DJs list noted that the “up-and-comer” had earned a massive $19.5 million. That’s not bad for someone who only just reached legal drinking age in the U.S.
Steve Aoki isn’t anywhere as young as Martin Garrix, but he does prove that youth isn’t necessarily the only way to make a ton of money. Aoki is known for collaborations with the likes of will.i.am, Iggy Azalea, Fall Out Boy, and more. Those collaborations, it turns out, have earned him quite a ton of cash — he scored a hefty $23.5 million in 2016.
Skrillex may have dropped off in popularity a little of late, but that doesn’t mean he’s not making any cash. In fact, turns out he is. The DJ earned a massive $20 million in 2016, which isn’t bad at all. Skrillex is perhaps best-known for being one of the fathers of dubstep.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
The only duo on this list, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are Greek DJs that have been on the up and up for some time now. At this point, the pair are making millions of dollars per month — in fact, they came 10th on Forbes’ list of highest-paid DJs for 2016 with a huge $15.5 million.
Last but not least on this list is Afrojack, who has been DJing since he was 14. Afrojack is dutch, and is best-known for collaborations with the likes of Madonna, as well as with other DJs, like David Guetta. So how much is he making these days? In 2016, Afrojack scored a whopping $15 million.

Much of the art of today is shock art. It is designed to hit people very hard, in an emotional sense, and take their breath away. In reality, it just stems from a culture that is based so heavily on advertising. Ads are designed to make people remember them. They want to be shocking and new, but they do not really worry about saying anything that is very deep. Unfortunately, even “high” art has fallen prey to this [...]

Seriously, when did Taylor Kitsch make that jump from television to Hollywood? It seemed like only yesterday I was watching my New Jersey Direct TV service watching old Taylor tear it up on Friday Night Lights as everyone’s favorite Tim Riggins. Now, suddenly, the man is going from significant supporting roles in comic book super hero movies to starring in his own film based on the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs – a little something called John Carter.
I mean don’t get me wrong, the man has looks and that alone may be the answer to the question, but lucky for us, he can also act. It just seems a poor prerequisite if looks are all that matter in Hollywood, especially when the standards for moviegoers are higher and actors are expected to, well, act. Either way, it seems like Taylor Kitsch has made it to the big leagues and while his two most well-known Hollywood roles really weren’t all that fantastic, the night is still young for this budding Hollywood superstar and anything could happen. Who knows, the man might even become the next great Daniel Day Lewis or even, dare I say, Heath Ledger. We will just have to wait and see.

Who are the latest Hollywood beauties to walk the red carpet and make the rest of us feel dreadfully unattractive? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is no stranger to the cameras. Flaunting her Victoria’s Secret model body, Rosie makes her debut in the newest Transformers movie. Although she probably does not make Megan Fox feel ugly, the rest of us are no Megan Fox.
