CA’ VENDRAMIN CALERGI
from 2nd to 25th AUGUST 2007
Maria Callas and Venice
Maria Callas first displayed her talents as a truly great singer sixty years ago, here in Venice, when she debuted at the “La
Fenice” theatre as Isolde, followed, just a few days later, by her performance in “Turandot”. Over the next seven years
the Teatro del Selva played host to her memorable performances, from Elvira to Norma, and from Violetta to Lucia di
Lammermoor to Medea, a period which firmly established her reputation as a unique opera singer and helped shaped
the legend of Callas the young prima donna. After 1954, Maria Callas never sang again at “La Fenice”, but she always
remained extremely fond of Venice whose mysterious appeal enchanted her. Now the city has decided to return this
compliment and pay tribute to the great diva by naming the bridge and walkway leading to the old “La Fenice” gate
and new “Aldo Rossi” hall after her.
Sixty years after Maria came to Venice for the first time and thirty years on from her death, Ca’ Vendramin Calergi is
staging an exhibition entitled “The Encounter, the Enchantment”. This includes memorabilia, stage costumes, documents,
jewellery, films, books and letters all collected over years of research with discernment and love by Bruno Tosi. This exhibition first went on display in the Olivetti Exhibition Hall and then toured the world from Paris to New York and
from Athens to Tokyo and onto Rome, receiving huge applause from both public and critics. Having been extensively
enlarged and updated the exhibition has now returned to Venice at the invitation of the Casinó Municipale di Venezia
Spa, and is ready to offer visitors a very special opportunity to relive the life story and art of a woman who rightly
became known as “Callas, La Divina”.
The Mayor of Venice
When we say the words “Maria Callas”, what we wish to recall more than anything else is her marvellous voice and unique artistic talent. Maria’s loss has left a gap that can never be filled, at least from an artistic point of view, given that everyone continues to refer to her, even after all these years, as “La Divina”.
Venice and especially the “La Fenice” theatre had a special place in Maria’s heart as this was the stage on which her young talents were able to reach the ears of the general public.
The Casinó di Venezia, whose own history is inseparably entwined with that of Venice, has therefore decided to pay tribute to “La Divina” and her love for this city with a series of celebrations. These begin with this major exhibition and end on September 16, 2007 (the thirtieth anniversary of her death) with a performance by Dimitra Theodossiou, the soprano considered to be Maria Callas’ heir. The concert, featuring a selection of “La Divina’s” best loved songs, will be held at “La Fenice” theatre in Venice.

President of the Casinó di Venezia
MARIA CALLAS: THE ENCOUNTER, THE ENCHANTMENT
“Maria Callas - declared Maestro Riccardo Muti on the day after her tragic and premature loss in 1977 (this year Venice
and the whole world celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of her death) was almost an immortal incarnated through the
art of opera. Maria Callas - he continued - has done for singing what Toscanini did for conducting”.
Maria was an artist that truly made her mark in history, an artist who created a legend that will continue to live far into the future. No other singer has been so adored or so abhorred. Maria dominated the opera scene for over twenty years like a nineteenth century diva, revolutionizing the concept of opera performance and restoring the art of bel
canto to the stage. Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi would have given her a standing ovation. And she had a natural
affinity, not for the great voices of her day, but for Maria Malibran, Giuditta Pasta and Giulietta Grisi, the very
first Normas, the very first La Sonnambulas. We are not here, however, to honour only the thirtieth anniversary of
Maria’s premature death at the age of just 53 (legends never die after all), but also the more festive sixtieth anniversary
of her debut in Italy and in Venice in December 1947 with Tristan and Isolde. Maria sang regularly at the “La Fenice”
theatre up until 1954, performing some of the most demanding roles in her repertoire, from Norma to La Traviata, and
from Lucia di Lammermoor to Medea. But her real triumph came in 1949 with the role of Elvira in I Puritani, just a
few days after singing Brünnhilde in Die Walküre. With this performance Maria invented the figure of the agile
dramatic soprano, a novelty for the twentieth century! In recognition of her love for Venice this exhibition does
not focus on Maria’s opera career alone, it also features photos of her on the beach at the Lido flaunting an
enviably slim figure after her drastic weight loss, photos of her at the Venice Film Festival, at a party given by
Elsa Maxwell in her honour at the Hotel Danieli in 1957 where she met Aristotle Onassis for the first time and
who also appears at her side in numerous photos taken at the Excelsior.
All Maria’s conspicuous lifestyle is fondly recalled in this exhibition “The Encounter, the Enchantment”, currently being held in the prestigious salons of Casinó di Venezia in Ca’ Vendramin Calergi.
Visitors can enjoy the magical thrill of her triumphant stage entrances as well as the appeal of
her feminine charm. They can also relive her sad decline and the desperation of her last desperate
days when she retreated into solitude to let her life slowly ebb away.
The last images of Maria in fact cannot help but fill the heart with dismay and tenderness. Everything is here. From her stage costumes to her own elegant outfits, the jewels she used on and off stage, letters to other celebrities such as her teacher De Hidalgo and the much-loved Pasolini (including his portrait and poems and her passionate
letters both during rehearsals for Medea and in the years that followed), and a
number of her most precious belongings.
There really is nothing missing here. From her birth certificate to her will, this exhibition is a complete photographic portrait of her life and career.

AFTER BEING STOLEN IN ATHENS, CALLAS’ FAMOUS DRESS RETURNS TO VENICE
This wonderful white silk dress decorated with large red flowers, created for Maria Callas in 1957 by the designer Biki,
has had a long and stormy existence.“La Divina” wore it only three times, and all in 1957: at the Venice Film Festival,
on her return to Greece at the Herod Atticus amphitheatre below the Parthenon and to pose for Maestro Silvano Caselli,
who painted the only official portrait of the diva ever commissioned.
Maria Callas gave the dress to her governess who cut a piece off the train. When the dress was first put on show it was arranged
in a frame as it appeared in the portrait, which was sadly lost when “La Fenice” theatre was tragically destroyed
by fire in 1996. Maestro Caselli subsequently created a new portrait with Maria in the foreground, in the same famous
dress and in the same position as the original painting, and with “La Fenice” theatre in flames in the background. A
24-colour screen printed edition of the new portrait was also made. On the last day of the recent exhibition organised
on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of Maria’s death in Greece by the Italian Embassy, and in particular by the
Head of the Institute of Culture, Melita Palestini, together with the Greek Cultural Affairs Minister in person, the dress was
stolen. Fortunately, the thief’s actions, which were probably prompted more by his love for “La Divina” than mercenary
motives, were filmed in close-up by the closed circuit surveillance cameras and news of the theft hit the world headlines,
with especially wide press and television coverage in Greece. Feeling hounded by the police, the young man eventually
responded to an appeal made by the President of the Callas Association and the Italian Embassy and returned the dress
in an anonymous envelope to the Institute of Culture in Patission Street, Athens. Painstakingly restored to its frame the
dress has now returned to Venice for the exhibition staged at Ca’ Vendramin Calergi.

We have just heard some horrible news on the one-time NBA MVP Derrick Rose. According to TMZ, the Chicago Bulls star point guard is being sued by his ex-girlfriend for drugging and gang raping her at her apartment back in 2013. “Jane Doe” was apparently dating Rose from 2011 through 2013 when he and his friends drugged her with the intent of raping her before she got away with her friend. They then broke into her apartment and forcibly gang raped her. She claims to only remember bits and pieces of the incident and did not want to tell anybody because of the embarrassment it would cause her family.

If unable to provide or if un-vaccinated, we require proof of negative Covid-19 test, from within 48 hours of entry to event. Bay Area native Devon Baldwin is a singer and songwriter who creates dreamy, sensuous pop songs with forward-thinking electronic production. A daughter of musicians, Baldwin sang since her youth, fronting several bands as a teenager, and even created her own independent study curriculum for songwriting with her music teacher in high school. She then moved to New Orleans to study as an opera singer at Loyola University, where she met producer Christoph Andersson and rapper Gerald Gillum (aka G-Eazy), and began creating music with both. Just before graduating from college, Baldwin wrote a chorus for Gillum titled Lets Get Lost, which they recorded in their New Orleans apartment, and later became one of the most streamed songs on his debut album, These Things Happen. Soon after the early success of Lets Get Lost, Baldwin suffered a collapsed lung requiring several major surgeries leaving her temporarily unable to sing, but the hiatus gave her time to focus on writing lyrics. After successfully recuperating, she released her appropriately titled debut EP, Lungs, and resumed singing and touring, and appeared at festivals such as Austins SXSW and the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Franciscos Golden Gate Park. Baldwin has since moved to Los Angeles, and continues to work with Andersson as well as Hayley Kiyoko collaborator, Jono Dorr. Shes released several singles following her Lungs EP, including her popular original Dead of Night and a cover of Johnny Cashs Ring of Fire, both of which exceeded over a million streams on Spotify. Baldwin is currently finishing her next project, which is expected to be released in the top of 2020.


17 year old Joey Gaydos Jr. of “School of Rock” fame was busted for DUI outside of a Taco Bell. Really though, we’ll leave the gay jokes to you guys ’cause I bet he’s heard ‘em all before.
Joey Gaydos Jr. was 12 years old when he played Zack Mooneyham in the 2003 movie “School of Rock.” He has not pursued any acting jobs since then, but at age 17 has gotten himself into a spot of trouble. Mister Gaydos was arrested last month in Michigan for driving under the influence. He was caught by police “trying to drive away from a Taco Bell while intoxicated.” The rest of the details are scarce, but the fact that he was caught “trying” to drive away from the drive through sounds pretty bad.
Other than acting (and apparently drinking), Gaydos has toured the world performing for audiences everywhere and at age 13, he released his debut CD. Besides guitar, Joey recorded all vocals, mandolin, and keyboards. In 2005, he formed The Joey Gaydos Group consisting of him and two others.


I worked extensively on a range of design projects for the international recording artist K'NAAN on behalf of his management company Direct Current Media and his record label A&M Octone Records – the home of Maroon 5.
Spanning the development, release and worldwide success of his sophomore album 'TROUBADOUR', I designed K'NAAN's album art and tour merchandise as well 2 viral music videos, which have amassed over 350,000 hits on Youtube collectively.
In 2010, after K'NAAN's track 'Waving Flag' became the official Coca-Cola World Cup anthem, I was contracted by Coke to reinterpret my original cover art for their global marketing campaign. As part of the campaign, the song was localized into 20 different versions reaching every continent on Earth, including 'local' variations of the digital album cover. The single went on tour in over 50 countries, charted at number 1 in many, and sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

But do we ever know their names? Most likely not. When an actor is first starting out, the first thing they're likely to do is get an agent so they can get in on as many big auditions as possible. In the meantime, until the fame and fortune starts paying the bills these aspiring actors are usually working day and night jobs while taking classes and making contacts.
While making it on a television show or starring in a film may be the ultimate goal, many actors pay the bills by booking commercials. In fact, many celebrities that we know today like Seth Green, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more got their start by starring in commercials and getting the exposure that they needed to make it big. Of course, there are always celebrities and athletes making appearances in commercials, contributing their talents - or just their names and faces - to a product.
On the noteably less lucrative flipside, though, there have been several actors who have become celebrities because of their work in commercials. From the instant fame gained by their work in an iconic advertising campaign, some actors have been able to make a good living that rivals some mainstream celebrity lifestyles. Here, we've brought you the lowdown on five of those rare specimens; the richest actors who make a living doing commercials.
Of course, with exposure and fame from their work, the doors have been opened for other possibilities and opportunities. You may know these five characters better by their character names, but let us introduce you to the people behind the brands.

After a fabulous week of shows and visits with my long time friends in Los Angeles, I returned to Vegas. The next night I went to the Tuscany Hotel and Casino to hear my good friend Kelly Clinton Holmes, who is married to well known performer Clint Holmes. She presents varied performers who drop
in to take part in the Wednesday evening venue. This particular evening we were honoring Suzanne Tisdale Dean’s birthday. It was a surprise and we all sang songs to her. I sang The Way We Were and I’ve Got the Music in Me. Some of the other performers were as follows: Armi Guzman, Eric Sean, Terri Haley, Chris Jason who tributes Frank Sinatra and his partner Kyle who impersonates Sammy Davis Jr. This particular night , Kyle sang his tribute to Prince and when we heard him singing like this, we were astounded because we always saw him as Sammy Davis Jr. They are part of the Rat Pack that is appearing in the hotel,
Along with these performers. Elisa Furr is a standout. She is the number one Celine Dion impersonator and is currently on tour and opening in Legends at the Tropicana . She will also appear at the Casablance Hotel in Mesquite and I will be her opening act as Joan Rivers.
That’s it for this week.

Over the past six decades, Robbie Robertson has been a musician, artist, author, raconteur, film composer, and businessman.
But many of Robertson’s most cherished memories, both for himself and his fans, stem from his days as the primary guitarist and songwriter in the legendary Americana group known simply as The Band.
That’s the focus of Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band, a new documentary that revisits and salutes the camaraderie of one of the seminal blues-rock music acts of the 1960s and 1970s.
The film uses extensive archival footage and interviews — Robertson was the only one of the two surviving band members to participate — to reminisce about The Band’s origins, influences, camaraderie, Robertson’s volatile relationship with drummer Levon Helm, drug and alcohol abuse, collaborations with Bob Dylan and Ronnie Hawkins, and the buildup to Martin Scorsese’s iconic 1978 concert film The Last Waltz.
“It was a celebration of the brotherhood, and this incredibly unique musical outfit. Nobody has a story like this,” Robertson said by phone from Los Angeles. “We celebrated it with The Last Waltz, and this is celebrating it in a whole other fashion, and in a much more emotional way.”
The documentary started when Robertson, now 76, was approached about a film based on his 2016 memoir Testimony. At the time, he was intrigued, but also working on multiple albums, artwork, and film projects. Robertson met with several directors before finding the right fit in Daniel Roher, who’s more than 50 years younger than him.
“I didn’t know if he was going to know anything about this period of time and this story. But his wish was to make a documentary based on this book. At least he was plugged in. I thought, let’s take a shot on this guy. He’s 24, but I was only 24 when I made [the breakthrough 1968 album] Music from Big Pink,” Robertson said. “As he got involved in it, and I could see how dedicated and energetic and curious he was, I became more confident and more excited about the project. The movie kept growing and growing. It turned into something special.”
The documentary inspired the Canada native to write a new song that became the title of the film. It was later championed by Scorsese and Ron Howard, and wound up getting the prestigious opening-night gala slot at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
A significant portion of the film focuses on The Last Waltz, which introduced Robertson to Scorsese for the first time. Robertson has since composed music for a handful of the Oscar-winning director’s projects, including the 2019 epic The Irishman.
Speaking of The Last Waltz, that bash held on Thanksgiving night in 1976 in San Francisco was meant to be the group’s farewell to touring — at least temporarily. Yet the other four members later continued without Robertson, due in part to his notorious estrangement with Helm, who died in 2012. Despite intentions to record with them again, Robertson never did.
“That was the wish, and we all thought that was going to happen. But everybody was off doing their own things, and then really couldn’t find their way back. You couldn’t blame anybody,” he said. “We had been together day and night for 16 years. For somebody to want to go a different direction, want to make other discoveries, want to grow in other ways — that’s really pretty natural and understandable. I don’t think anybody saw any fault in that.”
The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, when Robertson reunited with bandmates Rick Danko and Garth Hudson along with longtime friend Eric Clapton. However, Helm refused to come.
“It was disappointing for me when we were all supposed to get together and nobody showed up. There was a deep sadness in my heart,” Robertson said. “I just had to read the writing on the wall.”
Robertson has since focused on other solo projects, most recently including a second memoir and a new album called Sinematic, which features the deeply introspective “Once Were Brothers” among its tracks. He said his passion for music and lyricism hasn’t wavered in more than six decades.
“When I went from Canada down to the Mississippi Delta when I was 16 years old, I thought I was going to the holy land of rock and roll, and I had to figure out how to make some magic,” he said. “I’ve been on that journey ever since. I’m on the same mission that I was at 16 years old. I don’t know how to stop. That’s what makes me breathe.”

Franck Goldwasser moved to California from his native Paris, France in 1983. A self-taught blues guitarist and vocalist, it was in Oakland that Goldwasser honed his craft alongside masters of the genre, eventually building a following as a vital contributor to the Bay Area Blues scene. Through the 90’s Paris Slim released several albums (“Bleedin’ Heart”, “Be Careful What You Wish For”) and appeared at festivals in the U.S. and in Europe. His association with the Fedora record label in the late 90’s, the release of his album “Bluju” and the formation of the Mannish Boys, with whom he recorded seven albums helped solidify his status as a household name on the international blues scene. Having moved to Portland, Oregon in 2005, Goldwasser joined Curtis Salgado’s band and appeared on the Alligator release “Soul Shot”, which received a Blues Music Award, while the Mannish Boys were voted “best traditional blues band of the year” the same year (2012) . Franck “Paris Slim” Goldwasser now lives near Santa Barbara, California. He is working on a new release which is due for release in September 2018.


Rarely in the history of rock has a musician switched bands and instruments simultaneously with such a high degree of success as Dave Grohl.
Born on January 14, 1969, Grohl grew up in Washington, D.C., teaching himself to play drums and guitar. While still a teenager, he joined his first real band, independent D.C. punkers Scream, and toured the world as their drummer. After Scream broke up in the late ’80s, Grohl relocated to Seattle and tried out for a little-known band who had a drum vacancy – Nirvana.
Immediately after Grohl joined the group in late 1990, Nirvana guitarist/singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain presented the band with the songs that would appear on the group’s major-label debut in 1991, the classic Nevermind. Grohl also found time to write and record several demos around this time (playing all the instruments and singing himself), titled Pocketwatch, but more on that later. As we all know, Nevermind rocketed Nirvana to superstardom, as Grohl turned heads with his simple yet hard-hitting drumming style. During the sessions for the group’s follow-up, 1993’s In Utero, Grohl was allowed to contribute some of his own songwriting when he earned a co-writing credit for the heavy riff-rocker Scentless Apprentice and also recorded an original song, the quietly melodic “Marigold,” which would appear as a B-side on the British “All Apologies” single.
Then, Cobain’s much-publicized suicide promptly ended Nirvana in April of 1994. Instead of sitting around depressed, Grohl began working and playing with others, lending his drumming talents to the Backbeat motion picture soundtrack and Mike Watt’s Ball-Hog or Tugboat release (as well as serving as Watt’s touring drummer for a stretch of time), plus backing Tom Petty on a Saturday Night Live appearance. Later in the year, Grohl dusted off some of the songs he recorded for the Pocketwatch demo and began writing and recording some new tracks, again playing all the instruments himself. Not sure initially if these songs would ever see the light of day, he eventually decided to issue them under the name Foo Fighters, and promptly formed an ad hoc band consisting of ex-Germs/Nirvana guitarist Pat Smear and ex-Sunny Day Real Estate members William Goldsmith (drums) and Nate Mendel (bass), while Grohl surprisingly put his drumming days behind him in favor of guitarist/singer duties. The band’s self-titled 1995 release became a hit, as the band’s sound was similar to his last full-time band — hard-edged punk rockers mixed with melodic mid-tempo pop rockers.
While its lineup solidified with the arrival of ex-Alanis Morrissette drummer Taylor Hawkins, a revolving door policy still applied to the other Foos fighting alongside Grohl. Nevertheless, the group widened their fan base with each successive release. 1997’s Colour and the Shape became the first truly collaborative Foo album, and a worldwide hit; two years later, There is Nothing Left to Lose dropped to widespread acclaim, and further distanced Grohl the songwriter, singer, and guitarist from Grohl, the ex-drummer of Nirvana. In 2000, he took a quick break from his main gig, contributing drum tracks to metal hero Tommy Iommi’s self-titled solo record. Early the following year, the Foos threw eager fans a bone, streaming stomper “The One” from their Web site. But Grohl’s past came back to haunt him in late 2001, when famous Kurt Cobain widow and mouthpiece-about-town Courtney Love sued he, Krist Noveselic, and Universal Music Group for control of Nirvana’s master recordings. The lawsuit would drag on for almost two years. Grohl and his band kicked off 2002 with a performance at the Winter Olympics. He then surprised fans and observers again with his emergence as the touring drummer for underground hard rock outfit Queens of the Stone Age. Grohl gigged with the band through the summer, and also played on the breakthrough Queens LP Songs for the Deaf, issued that August.
Near the end of 2001, the Foo Fighters returned to the studio to work on their fourth album. After four months in the studio, with the sessions “finished”, Grohl accepted an invitation to join Queens of the Stone Age and helped them to record their 2002 album Songs for the Deaf. (Grohl can be seen drumming for the band in the video for the song “No One Knows”.) After a brief US tour with the band and feeling rejuvenated by the effort, Grohl recalled the other Foo Fighters to completely re-record their album at his studio in Virginia. The effort became their fourth album, One by One. While initially pleased with the results, in another 2005 Rolling Stone interview, Dave Grohl admitted to not liking the record: “Four of the songs were good, and the other seven I never played again in my life. We rushed into it, and we rushed out of it.”
Grohl and the Foo Fighters released their fifth album In Your Honor on June 14, 2005. Prior to starting work on the album, the band spent almost a year relocating Grohl’s home-based Virginia studio to a brand new facility, dubbed Studio 606, located in a warehouse near Los Angeles. Featuring collaborations with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Norah Jones, the album was a departure from previous efforts, and included one rock and one acoustic disc.
Foo Fighters’s sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace was released on September 25, 2007. It was recorded during a three month period between March 2007 and June 2007, and its release was preceded by the first single “The Pretender” on September 17th.
During the early 2000s, Grohl spent time in his basement studio writing and recording a number of songs for a “metal” project. Over the span of several years, Grohl recruited his favorite metal vocalists from the 1980s, including Lemmy of Motörhead, Conrad “Cronos” Lant from Venom, and Max Cavalera of Sepultura, to perform the vocals for the songs. The project was released in 2004 under the moniker Probot.
Also in 2003, Grohl stepped behind the kit to perform on Killing Joke’s self-titled album. The move surprised some Nirvana fans, given that Nirvana had been accused of stealing the opening riff of “Come as You Are” from Killing Joke’s 1984 song “Eighties”. However, the controversy failed to create a lasting rift between the bands. The Foo Fighters made a habit of covering Killing Joke’s “Requiem” during the late 1990s, and were even joined by Killing Joke singer Jaz Coleman for a performance of the song at a show in New Zealand in 2003.
Grohl lent his drumming skills to other artists during the early 2000s. In 2000, Dave played drums and sang on a track, “Goodbye Lament”, from Tony Iommi’s album Iommi. In 2001, Grohl performed on Tenacious D’s debut album, and appeared in the video for lead single “Tribute” as a demon. He later appeared in the duo’s 2006 movie Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny and performed on its soundtrack. In 2002, Grohl helped Chan Marshall of Cat Power on the album You Are Free. In 2004, Grohl drummed on several tracks for Nine Inch Nails’ 2005 album With Teeth. He also drummed on the song “Bad Boyfriend” on Garbage’s 2005 album Bleed Like Me. Most recently, he recorded all the drums on Juliette and the Licks’s 2006 album Four on the Floor and the song “For Us” from Pete Yorn’s 2006 album Nightcrawler. Beyond drumming, Grohl contributed guitar to a cover of Neil Young’s “I’ve Been Waiting For You” on David Bowie’s 2002 album Heathen.

Katy Perry Live: Witness World Wide
‘Witness’, 10′ x 25′ (3m 7.5m)
Los Angeles, California
What an amazing experience! 3d street painting with Katy Perry! We were so excited to take part in the Katy Perry Live: Witness World Wide livestream – see here: https://www.katyperry.com/video/witness-world-wide-livestream/ to support the launch of Witness, her fifth studio album.
Living with a superstar, that’s what this experience brought to her adoring fans. Katy invited a wide variety of guests and friends to participate in giving the world a glimpse into what it’s like to be Katy. YouTube hosted the livestream, which featured Katy living in a Big Brother-style house with cameras covering everything, from eating, to working out to sleeping and everything in between. It began Thursday, June 8, and concluded with a free concert on Monday, June 12, in LA.
I was thrilled to bring my art and Team 3D down to the set to create a custom 3d street painting for one of the overnight segments. Working through the wee hours of the night, while being broadcast around the globe, we wrapped the painting just as Katy was waking up. She loved the art and had a blast playing on it with guests and friends such as James Corden and Pentatonix. Ever the gracious professional, Katy spent 15 minutes with my team and I chatting about street painting and how 3d images work. Being from Santa Barbara she knew all about the I Madonnari Festival, which is where and how I personally got started on my amazing career as a street painter.
What began as an audacious experiment quickly became an incredible social experience embraced by millions, 49 million to be exact. #kpwww certainly proved to be a genius project to reconnect with fans worldwide.
She capped off the livestream with a private concert in downtown LA for about 500 fans. Team 3D Julio Jimenez, Terena Wong from Hong Kong, and I were on hand to witness Katy up close in personal, doing what she loves best. Amazing!!!
Thanks to Katy and the entire production team involved – it was a stellar experience for us all the way around!


At 20, Sanjay Harris must be one of the youngest cinematographers in the Malayalam film industry, making his mark with the movie Basheerinte Premalekhanam. Though Sanjay has been associated with the industry for a few years as assistant to some prominent directors, he got his big break when Aneesh Anwar approached him for Basheernte Premalekhanam.
“I was working on a project that for certain reasons got shelved. It was then, Aneesh asked me if I could work for his new project and I immediately agreed. Why wouldn’t someone not work with a person who has directed movies like Zachachariyayude Garbhinikal and Kumbasaram, both of which had unconventional plots,” says Sanjay.
Sanjay has been passionate about photography since childhood and was certain that he wanted to pursue a career in it, which finally made him join Balaji’s – Institute of Creative Excellence in Mumbai. He eventually got a chance to assist director Abhinandam Ramanujan for the movie Mosayile Kuthira Meenukal and worked with him for around two and a half years. Thereafter, he also associated with Madhu Neelakandan for Rani Padmini. The shift to cinematography happened with him taking up the role of assistant cameraman for movies like Double Barrel and Inspector Dawood Ibrahim.
Asked if things were made easy for him by the presence in the industry of brother Sooraj Harris, who is an actor-cum-producer, Sanjay says, “The initial struggle is a part of the game. It is the time required to perfectly fit into the slot that the industry provides. It is competitive but if a person is talented and has substance then his/her passion and hard work will definitely pay off, as it happened in my case.” Though Sanjay is confident, he seems rooted to the ground, wants to work with different directors and is in talks with several of them. He is currently shooting at Lakshwadeep for his upcoming movie which is expected to release by the end of this year.
Basheerinte Premalekhanam is a romantic comedy with Fahadh Fazil’s brother Farhan Fazil in the lead. Vikramadityan fame Sana Althaf will be the female lead. Veteran star actors Madhu and Sheela will come together after 35 years in the movie. Prominent actors like Joy Mathew, Aju Varghese, Shanavas, Manikandan, Sivaji Guruvayoor, Ponnamma Babu, Ranjini Jose and Sethulakshmi are playing supporting roles in the movie.

November 25, 2013: In researching Parfait Day, I found out that it’s two different things — in France, it’s a frozen custardy thing, while in America, it’s a layered dessert. Either way, I bet Ricardo Montalban would have enjoyed it for his birthday (born in 1920). Here he’s pictured as the original Khan from Star Trek, although I’ll admit that Benedict Cumberbumbles was decent in the role as well.
I met Ricardo Montalban once, back around 1980. My family was on vacation in Hawaii, and we happened upon them filming Fantasy Island. Somewhere in my personal archives, I have a photo of him, me, and the little red golf cart they’d putter around the island in.

When famous singer Bob Marley passed away in 1981, he left behind no written will.

45 In March 1962, dylan contributed harmonica and back-up vocals to the album Three kings and the queen, accompanying Victoria spivey and Big joe williams on a recording for Spivey records. 47 While working for Columbia, dylan recorded under the pseudonym Blind boy grunt 48 for Broadside, a folk magazine and record william label. 49 Dylan used the pseudonym Bob Landy to record as a piano player on The Blues Project, a 1964 anthology album by Elektra records. 48 As Tedham Porterhouse, dylan played harmonica on Ramblin' jack Elliott 's 1964 album Jack Elliott. 48 Dylan made two important career moves in August 1962: he legally changed his name to robert Dylan, 50 and he signed a management contract with Albert Grossman. 51 (In June 1961, dylan had signed an agreement with roy silver. In 1962, Grossman paid Silver 10,000 to become sole manager.) 52 Grossman remained Dylan's manager until 1970, and was notable for his sometimes confrontational personality and for protective loyalty. 53 Dylan said, "He was kind of like a colonel Tom Parker figure. You could smell him coming." 30 Tension between Grossman and John Hammond led to hammond suggesting that Dylan work with the young African-American jazz producer, tom Wilson, who produced several tracks for the second album without formal credit.
38 On April 11, dylan commenced a two week engagement at Gerde's Folk city, supporting John lee hooker. 39 New York times critic Robert Shelton first noted Dylan in a review of izzy young 's production for wrvr of a live twelve-hour hootenanny on July 29, 1961: "Among the newer promising talents deserving mention are a 20-year-old latter-day guthrie disciple named Bob Dylan. This was Dylan's first radio performance. 40 In September, Shelton boosted Dylan's career further with a very enthusiastic review of his performance at Gerde's Folk city. 41 The same month Dylan played harmonica on folk singer Carolyn Hester 's third album. This brought his talents to the attention of the album's producer, john Hammond, 42 who signed Dylan to columbia records. 43 The performances on his first Columbia album, bob Dylan, released March 19, 1962, 44 consisted of familiar folk, blues and gospel twist with two original compositions.

On display were photographs never before seen in public, taken from Carmen’s own personal archive, alongside key images kindly donated by photographers and their estates for the purposes of the exhibition.
These included a number of family portraits of Carmen as a young girl, as well as unpublished original photographs by Richard Avedon and Irving Penn from seminal stages of her career.
An astonishing selection of images by legendary photographers Norman Parkinson, Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and others were displayed alongside quotes by Carmen, highlighting the personal subtext behind editorial fashion’s lens and revealing Carmen’s signature sense of humility, intelligence, sophistication and humour. Bringing the portfolio up to date was a set of photographs by Ali Mahdavi, commissioned by London College of Fashion to celebrate Carmen’s 80th birthday in 2011.

15 Celebrity Memoirs to Add to Your Must-Read List
Nothing like an A-list author to get us turning pages.
We’re christening 2023 the year of the celebrity memoir. We’ve already had some of the juiciest and most readable autobiographies from some of the most recognisable names around – from Britney Spears to Paris Hilton.
If you love getting the inside scoop straight from the source, celebrity memoirs are your ticket. It’s time to make yourself a tea, cosy up in your Threads and dive into these compelling reads written by some of the most famous faces on the planet.
1. Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson
From her acclaimed Netflix documentary to this memoir – which combines essays with poetry and personal photographs – Pamela Anderson has been having a year…and we are here for it! As revealed by both the documentary and this deeply personal book, the Baywatch star has been grossly mistreated by the press, and is only now beginning to claw back her agency. This memoir is a moving read and, combined with the visceral pieces of poetry, helps to give a sense of Pamela’s unique and singular mind.
2. The Woman In Me by Britney Spears
We’ll hazard a guess that no book in the world is as anticipated as Britney Spears’ memoir The Woman In Me – which is out now in book stores near you. There was a bidding war among publishing houses when the singer took the title to market and with good reason: this is the book that will detail, in Britney’s own words, her experience successfully fighting the conservatorship held over her for more than a decade, and emerging on the other side. This is Britney’s story, in Britney’s words, and we will be reading them.
3. Pageboy by Elliot Page
In this beautifully written and heart-wrenching memoir, actor Elliot Page details their transitioning journey. It’s a powerful read by one of our most visible transgender celebrities, and provides so much insight into Elliot’s story that goes well beyond the actor’s many acclaimed on-screen performances. A brilliant and moving read.
4. Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton
Yes, Paris Hilton’s memoir is good. Really good. Let this book serve as a reminder of the DJ slash model slash reality TV star’s perennial dry wit and her ability to tell her own story. You don’t remain at the top of the fame game for decades without being in control of that. Whether she’s writing about her lowest points or her highest ones, Paris does it all with honesty – so much so that reading it will turn even the skeptics into true Paris fans. Our favourite parts involve recounting the years spent on The Simple Life with her co-star and friend Nicole Richie.
5. Honey, Baby, Mine by Laura Dern and Diane Ladd
What a gift this book is! Comprising transcripts of conversations between mother and daughter – and famous actors – Laura Dern and Diane Ladd during long walks taken as part of treatment for Diane’s ailing health, this book is not only an insight into their relationship but an ode to mothers and daughters everywhere. Yes, they talk about famous film sets and roles, from Diane’s Oscar nominated performance in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore to Laura becoming an actor herself and working with David Lynch and Steven Spielberg. But the most moving parts are when they talk about life and love, about family, about regrets and about death. It’s a deeply touching book and beautifully put together.
6. My Name is Barbra by Barbra Streisand
Divas unite… the one, the only Barbra Streisand is releasing her first memoir. This powerhouse singer, actor and director has lived a life. Not only is she part of the rarified EGOT winner club (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony winners) but she was also the first female director to receive an Oscar nomination. And we haven’t even gotten started on her iconic film roles (Funny Girl! A Star Is Born! Yentl!) or her records. We can’t even begin to imagine the stories she has heard and the scenes she has seen unfold. We’ve pre-ordered and can’t wait for this one to be released in November.
7. Spare by Prince Harry
If you can believe it, this book was only released at the start of this year. It certainly feels like it has been out for longer, given the media furore around it and choice excerpts regarding Prince Harry’s childhood, his relationship with his brother Prince William and his marriage to Meghan Markle. This book was ghostwritten by J R Moehringer, who also ghost wrote Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, and it is certainly readable, no matter what your thoughts are on the royal family. We recommend the audiobook for this one, which is read by none other than the Prince himself.
8. Down The Drain by Julia Fox
