Dallas Burlesque Gal’s Claim to Fame
Dallas Burlesque Gal’s Claim to Fame
What Dallas burlesquer has a famous family history?? That would be our very own Appaloosa Red! And which of Hollywood’s elite was married into Miss Appaloosa’s family during Hollywood’s Golden Era? None other than The King of the screen, Clark Gable!! (Pause for squeals and sighs of jealousy.) Yes, that’s right- and she showed me the monogrammed linens and original photographs to prove it! I even saw photographs of little Miss Appaloosa in front of the couch that Clark slept on when he was in trouble for staying out chasing skirts!
Although Appaloosa was born too late to meet her in person, she’s always loved hearing stories about her great-grandmother, Maria Franklin Prentiss Lucas Langham Gable, the Houston, TX socialite who spent nearly a decade married to Mr. Gable. Auburn-haired ‘Ria’ was 5’2” and full of sophistication; she had perfectly smooth, creamy skin which wrinkles dared not cross- she swore till the day she died that her flawless face never had any surgical assistance. Ria always presented herself in an immaculate manner, had a flare for picking the perfect hat, and was known to chastise, “Dear, either you wear nail polish or you don’t!” if she caught you sporting a chipped paint job. Chic designers clamored to give her clothing and she, in turn, promoted what and whom she fancied.
When Ria and Clark met, and became involved, in 1929, he was estranged from his first wife, Josephine Dillon. Dillon was an acting coach 11 years his senior who had taught him how to act on the stage. But it was Ria who taught him how to act in polite society… and how to dress, even how to write a check! Of which it seems she wrote several on his behalf, fixing up those signature teeth and grooming young Gable for the career she believed he was destined for. The two took up with each other when Clark was new to New York, just another Broadway hopeful. A fellow actor, and family member of Ria’s, first took her backstage to meet the dashing man who would come to rule Hollywood. It didn’t take her long to fall madly in love with his good lucks, irresistible charm, and intoxicating masculinity. A double divorcee and one-time widower, Ria already had 3 children and a swell bankroll from her previous marriages. No doubt, she knew that the 17 year age gap between herself and Clark would one day cause problems, but she had already married a man who was her caretaker, and, as biographer Lyn Tornabene puts it, “at this stage in her life she needed to give, and she adored this moody, beautiful young man with whom, as she envisioned it, life could never be dull because it could never be easy.”
She couldn’t have been more right. Ria was a fabulous hostess and mingled with everyone who was anyone in Hollywood, manicuring Clark’s social circle and standing, while Clark preferred blue collar company. Tornabene wrote, in Long Live the King, “Clark didn’t mingle with big shots at the studio, and didn’t see why he should at home. At work he was happiest with underdogs, not only in the early thirties when he identified with them, but throughout his career.” But social sets aside, it seems that life with Clark was never easy for anyone, even the ones he loved the most; he was a passionate man in every aspect, given to brooding, and frequently indulging in affairs. His magnetic appeal drew women in, and he didn’t like turning them away.
Gable began his long-term, on-again-off-again affair with Joan Crawford during this time, but Ria took it in stride. She said, “I was smart- had her over for breakfast, lunch, and dinner- till they were sick of each other!” It was also during his marriage to Ria that Clark sired his ‘secret daughter,’ Judy Lewis, while having a dalliance with co-star, Loretta Young. Although it was a well-known secret in Hollywood, Miss Young hid their daughter away in orphanages and other homes for the first year and a half of her life, after which Young ‘adopted’ the girl. Judy’s resemblance to Clark was so pronounced that Miss Young even had the child’s ears surgically pinned back when the girl was just 7 years old. (Incidentally, Miss Lewis eventually became an actress herself.) While Clark was not involved in the life of his doppelganger daughter, he did share what little time he had free with Ria’s daughter, Jana, and son, Al. Jana was his
secretary and fielded all of his fan mail, while Al accompanied Clark to ballgames and picnics. Clark was a father figure to Al, whose own had father passed away while Al was still a toddler, and more of a protective older brother to Jana- although he did walk her down the aisle. But, sadly, when the marriage ended, so did Clark’s relationship with Ria’s children.
The last affair, with screen star Carole Lombard, prompted a divorce at last, in 1939. Ria demanded a large settlement as she had supported Clark and paved his way to fame; as she said, “It’s only fair. I gave him a good many years of my life and taught him a great deal.” So, MGM made the divorce possible by giving Clark a princely advance on his contract to secure him for the part of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, and preserve their big star’s reputation. Three and a half weeks after the divorce was granted, Gable and Lombard were married, making one of Hollywood’s legendary love affairs legal at last…but that’s another story.
Ria maintained her dignity as always, and often said, “Clark never did anything to embarrass me. Our marriage was one of mutual respect.” She dated actor George Raft for a time, but left Hollywood for Houston a few years after the divorce. She never married again, and remained Mrs. Gable to Houstonians until her death in 1966, 6 years after Clark’s. The scrapbook in which she continued to paste all of Gable’s press clippings remains in Appaloosa’s family, and Maria Franklin Gable rests in peace at the illustrious Glenwood Cemetery in Houston, TX.


- July 4th weekend in South Beach was all that it was expected to be this year. Ladies everywhere in their best bikinis, fly cars riding up and down Ocean drive and tourist from around the world partying like rockstars. If you didn’t make it to South Beach this year then you missed out on Club Cameo with 50 Cent live.
Club Cameo was full of excitement with 50 Cent on the fliers floating around the beach. When the Partybus arrived to the club around 11:30 the line was already stretched down the block with ladies in heels and fellas dressed to impress. With that being said it’s really no explanation needed on how the night turned out at Club Cameo.
50 Cent showed up to the club ready to party with the crowd. He was handing out Champagne bottles to random people in the crowd and making sure that the vibe was good throughout the night. Not only did he party, he also took the main stage and performed both classic hits and new songs off of his upcoming project. Thanks to 50 Cent the party people from around the world has a story to tell that will last a lifetime. Check out the video recap below.


It’s amazing, he looks like a movie star. He’s very focused on what he needs to do and he watches the takes, but then all of a sudden he’s next to you in the scene, and you’re like, uh, are you watching what I’m doing, or…? And then he yells cut when he’s in the scene.
I would like to do the same to Seth ;P
Or these :)
Sure, just ruin my life babe, it doesn’t matter or anything..
Never seen the top one before. Yum.
He’s so deliciously coy.
Even the side and back of his hair is cute.
This shows how curly is hair is. Very!
Why the fuck would they have dated. Sooo friggin random.
I reckon she was one of the ‘naughty girls’ he talked about in his People magazine interview!

The City of Lubbock today opened the childhood home of Jerry Allison as a museum, moved to the grounds of the Buddy Holly Center in the heart of the Panhandle city.
It was in the living room of that house that Holly and Allison wrote the classic rock and roll song 'That'll be the Day' on a coffee table in June of 1956, when both were 19.
Allison recalled today that the inspiration for the song that John Lennon once called the single most influential piece of music in the history of rock and roll was John Wayne's catch phrase in 'The Searchers' which was in theaters that summer.
"We all went to see that movie, and when they told me, you should write a song, I replied, 'yeah, that'll be the day,' trying to sound like John Wayne. Then Allison broke into song, singing the famous riff, 'that'll be the day...'"
Tomorrow would have been Holly's 77th birthday. He was, of course, killed in a plane crash in Iowa in February of 1959, but Allison and fellow Crickets Sonny Curtis and Joe P. Mauldin were on hand for today's dedication.
"That'll be the Day" was recorded in the Norman Petty studios in Clovis New Mexico in early 1957 and was released later that year by 'The Crickets,' because Holly was already signed to another record label.
The song went on to revolutionize music and was one of the first songs recorded by the Liverpool skiffle group 'The Quarrymen,' which later became 'the Beatles.'
The role of 'Buddy Holly and the Crickets' in the development of rock and roll cannot be overstated. At the time, it was unclear what instrument was going to be the symbol of rock and roll, like the trumpet was the symbol of jazz. The Crickets popularized the guitar, as well as the form where the singer was also a member of the band. Previously, from Frank Sinatra to Elvis Presley, the singer was the star, and the band were faceless back up performers.
"That'll be the Day" also created the concept of the musicians also being the songwriters. Elvis, for example, wrote none of his early songs, like "Heartbreak Hotel," "That's All Right,” and "Blue Moon of Kentucky."
"That'll be the Day" was named in the Top Forty of Rolling Stone's Top 500 records of all time.
The house has undergone about $150,000 worth of renovations.

Kanye west finally released his Donda album a few weeks ago after major delays.
Since I enjoyed his last religious album so much I just knew this album would be just as good if not better.
However, for some reason I couldn’t get into it. I was very disappointed and a tad bit insulted at the product that he released after stringing all of his fans along the way he did.

Ana de Armas Says She Watched Marilyn Monroe Films 'Hundreds of Times' for 'Blonde' Performance
In the wake of completing Blonde, Ana de Armas said the "heaviness of it remained with me without a doubt"
Ana de Armas pored over a long time of Marilyn Monroe movies to get her Blonde presentation right.
In the impending fictionalized film, de Armas, 34, plays the popular Hollywood Actress, who passed on quite a while back at 36 years old.
De Armas let AnOther magazine know that throughout Blonde's creation, she observed a portion of Monroe's motion pictures "hundreds of times."
De Armas likewise conceded that she "encountered a ton of dread and insecurity" on set during the creation of the film.
Also, she was told to channel those sentiments into her Monroe execution.
"I felt in a very vulnerable position. Not just in specific difficult scenes; the whole process was overwhelming for me," said de Armas.
"Most of the time I thought I was doing it wrong. I was thinking, 'What are these American actors thinking of me?
What do you think about Ana de Armas? And if you like then share the story.


In his latest biography on royalty, Matthew Dennison has written an empathetic, and balanced, life story of our Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth. His book is not just another narrative of her life; rather, an informed analysis of her personality, the pressures and challenges the monarchy has had to face over seven decades of rule (both within the Royal Family and externally) and the dynamics of the myriad of complex relationships within the Royal Family. The book is all the more authoritative by the depth of research Dennison has undertaken, including interviews with members of the Royal Household, and access to correspondence held within the Royal Archives.
Dennison has chosen to chart Elizabeth’s story not only by a narration of the chronology of factual events. He has also used, as reference points, her various sittings, over the years, alone, or with other members of her family, for portraits and photographs. It’s a clever way to write a biography – the old adage ‘a picture is worth a thousand words. Dennison uses the expressions, body language and clothes from the output of the sittings, and the context behind them, to develop his story of Queen Elizabeth’s life.
The book brings out clearly Elizabeth’s purpose in life – her desire to serve her subjects – as the cornerstone of her reign. It also portrays vividly the complexity of her life. Her realisation, from a young age, that her life would never be ordinary. A realisation made starker by the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII, in 1936. Dennison covers the ebb and flows of public support for the monarchy starting, in the late 1950s, with public allegations of an ‘out of touch’ Queen by Lord Altrincham, followed by republican currents in British society during the 1960s, the public tribulations of her children’s failing marriages in the early 1990s and the public reaction to her decision to stay at Balmoral, after the death of Diana in 1997. Ever aware of the need for popular support for the Windsor dynasty, Elizabeth has always been willing to respond to those challenges. This included the screening, in 1969, of the highly successful film, The Royal Family, a “fly on the wall” insight into the daily life of the Queen and her family and the subsequent documentary Elizabeth R in 1991, both brave and successful innovations to bring public opinion back to the ‘normality’ of regal life. Dennison provides a great insight into the dynamics of the relationships within the Royal Family. The closeness of her relationship to her father, George VI, and, particularly, her grandfather, George V. Her enduring love for Philip and the strains and stresses of their work on their relationship. The difficulties experienced by Charles and Anne of having a mother who was never physically around and the Queen’s attempt to redress that perceived injustice by allegedly “spoiling” Andrew and Edward. Using the unique insights of former members of the Royal Household, Dennison gives the reader a real sense of the complex web and strains of life within the Royal Family.
If I had a “gripe’ about the book, it would have been helpful to have had a family tree to help the reader navigate the intricacies of the extended Windsor family. That minor issue aside, a thoroughly recommended book, with some superb photographs.

Hideo Kojima is considered one of the gaming industry’s most talented individuals, so when he took to the stage at Sony’s E3 press conference everyone knew to expect something magical.
After Kojima-san’s messy exit from publisher Konami, he didn’t hang around to figure out his next move. Shortly after his departure he formed his own studio, Kojima Productions, and signed a deal with Sony to create his first title exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Work on his mystery title has been rife with speculation, but no one expected a reveal this quickly.
It’s called “Death Stranding” and features the actor, Norman Reedus – best known for his work in The Walking Dead TV show. Reedus remained connected to Kojima even after the cancellation of Silent Hills; a game that would’ve seen him in the leading role. The trailer below demonstrates Hideo’s signature style and mind-boggling creativity.
Sit back, relax, and turn up your audio. Kojima is back with an almighty clap of thunder.
A naked Norman Reedus and a baby attached via a mechanical umbilical cord? Whatever Death Stranding brings, count me in.

Context: the Irish parliament’s proposal to legislate for abortion on the basis of the risk of an expectant mother committing suicide.
The real-life story of Oscar winner, Rita Moreno (West Side Story), recounted in her autobiography and reported in today’s Daily Telegraph, show where the real risks of suicide lie.
After her relationship with (Elvis) Presley ended, she discovered she was pregnant with (Marlon) Brando’s child. “To my shock and horror, Marlon immediately arranged for an abortion,” she writes. It was this episode, she says, that prompted her suicide attempt at Brando’s home.
“I went to bed to die,” she writes. “This wasn’t a revenge suicide, but a consolation, an escape-from-pain death.”
Moreno was rushed to hospital to have her stomach pumped and her therapist begged her and Brando – who died in 2004 – never to see one another again.

Spencer Tracy, in full Spencer Bonaventure Tracy, (born April 5, 1900, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S.—died June 10, 1967, Beverly Hills, California), rough-hewn American film star who was one of Hollywood’s greatest male leads and the first actor to receive two consecutive Academy Awards for best actor.
As a youth Tracy was bored by schoolwork and joined the navy at age 17. Despite his distaste for academics, he eventually became a premed student at Wisconsin’s Ripon College. While there, he auditioned for and won a role in the commencement play and discovered acting to be more to his liking than medicine. In 1922 he went to New York, where he and his friend Pat O’Brien enrolled at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. That same year, both men made their joint Broadway debut, playing bit roles as robots in Karel Čapek’s R.U.R. For the next eight years, Tracy bounced between featured parts in short-running Broadway plays and leading roles in regional stock companies, finally achieving stardom when he was cast as death-row inmate Killer Mears in the 1930 Broadway hit The Last Mile. He subsequently appeared in two Vitaphone short subjects, but he was displeased with himself and pessimistic about his chances for screen stardom.
Nevertheless, director John Ford hired Tracy to star in the 1930 feature film Up the River, which resulted in a five-year stay at Fox Studios in Hollywood. Although few of his Fox films were memorable—excepting perhaps Me and My Gal (1932), 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (1932), and The Power and the Glory (1933)—his tenure at the studio enabled him to develop his uncanny ability to act without ever appearing to be acting. His friend Humphrey Bogart once attempted to describe the elusive Tracy technique: “[You] don’t see the mechanism working, the wheels turning. He covers up. He never overacts or is hammy. He makes you believe what he is playing.” For his part, Tracy always denied that he had come up with any sort of magic formula. Whenever he was asked the secret of great acting, he usually snapped, “Learn your lines!”
In 1935 he was signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he would do some of his best work, beginning with his harrowing performance as a lynch-mob survivor in Fritz Lang’s Fury (1936). He received his first of nine Oscar nominations for San Francisco (1936) and became the first actor to win two consecutive Academy Awards, for Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938). In the course of his two decades at MGM he settled gracefully into character leads, conveying everything from paternal bemusement in Father of the Bride (1950) to grim determination in Bad Day at Black Rock (1955). In later years his health was eroded by respiratory ailments and a lifelong struggle with alcoholism, but Tracy worked into the early 1960s, delivering exceptionally powerful performances in producer-director Stanley Kramer’s Inherit the Wind (1960) and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961).
Erste Geburtstagsfeier-Ideen, die Ihnen helfen, sich auf Erinnerungen vorzubereiten
IDEEN FÜR DIE ERSTE GEBURTSTAGSFEIER – ES PASSIERT NUR EINMAL!
Es kommt nur einmal vor. Planen Sie also entsprechend, damit Sie bei der ersten Feier Ihres Kindes in guter Stimmung ankommen und die Feierlichkeiten genießen können. Die Alternative besteht darin, sich maximal zu belasten, erschöpft, mit großen Augen und verblüfft anzukommen!
Laden Sie nur die Freunde und Familienmitglieder ein, die im Leben Ihres Kindes am wichtigsten sind. Zu viel Aufhebens und zu viel Aktivität, zu viele Menschen und zu viel Trubel können dazu führen, dass einige Kleinkinder übermäßig aufgeregt werden und einen Zusammenbruch erleben.


…for being picked up for the French team, NOT! Well, he’s lucky for that also, but having a wife like supermodel Noemie Lenoir makes him even luckier. Lenoir is also an actress having appeared in Rush Hour 3 as Genevieve, a movie for which she had to shave her hair. The couple have a child named Kelyan, born in February 2005. His mother models for famous magazines like Vogue, ELLE, Marie Claire and Sports Illustrated.
If she’s not posing for some fashion magazine, Noemie will probably be cheering her husband in this edition of the European Championship. These are some pictures of Mr Makelele’s (taller) super-hot wife, and videos of the wife’s photoshoots, including a picture of the couple’s son:

What do Lady Gaga and the Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence have in common? Good question. They’ve both been in the news, not for what they do, but for how much they weigh. Oh unknowable universe, what will you come up with next?
In case you haven’t heard, and this news made headlines by the way, Lady Gaga has gained weight. Yes, that news made headlines.
She’s gained about thirty pounds, and she has no intention of losing the weight. [Fuck yeah.] She’s going to dress the same and do all the crazy weird meat-related things she’s always done, but just going to do it with a different figure. And, depressingly unsurprising, she has been criticized for gaining a few extra pounds, but in the way of Lady Gaga, she doesn’t give a shit. Her words: “I don’t feel bad about it.”
And she shouldn’t.
In case you didn’t know, Lady Gaga was once a child. A very voluptuous Italian child. She used to make herself throw up because she thought she was ugly because she wasn’t breath-thin. Now, I think she intentionally gained weight (at least in part. I read in an interview that she talked to her
image consultant or some other big wig about discussing her look change) to give girls a role model to look up to that wasn’t as thin as the legs of a giraffe [not that Lady Gaga is necessarily the best role model for young girls, but inevitably she is so let’s look on the bright side]. Which is awesome. How many stars out there diet and exercise and diet and exercise to look thin and beautiful? A whole damn lot. Thank god someone is taking a stand. It’s a damn brave thing to do, because people are going to be spitting fire. Actually, they are already.
On a similar note, Jennifer Lawrence is refusing to diet for her roll of Katniss. Some critics have said that she should be a lot skinnier if she’s supposed to be a starving girl. This follows that standard in Hollywood that people need to suffer and change their appearance for a roll. Like Natalie Portman, who was praised for dropping 20 or so pounds for her movie The Black Swan; or Danny Devito who gained 60 lbs for a roll. Or Rene Zellweger who had to gain weight for Bridget Jones Diary, and then had to loose it for other roles.
Lawrence said that she was very aware of how she looked for Katniss, and she was focusing on being fit and healthy rather than skinny and malnourished. I’ve been on a few online forums looking at this stuff, and what I keep running into is that people think she’s crazy beautiful, which she is. But I kept finding comments somewhere along the lines of “She’s really hot, so it’s okay she’s not super skinny” over and over again, and it pissed me off. There are a whole lot of assumptions to be made based on that one comment. It’s okay not to be skinny if you’re beautiful; or she’s beautiful despite the fact she’s not underweight; or maybe if she hadn’t been crazy beautiful, their comment would change to Yeah, she should have been skinnier if she was a starving girl.
(By the way, Katniss was not a starving girl, despite living in a starving town. In the books, Katniss was a serious hunter. Her family ate better than most of the families in District 7 because she was always bringing home food for them. She wasn’t starving, she shouldn’t be thin, people don’t know what they’re talking about. How in the world could she have won The Hunger Games if she was thin, frail, and weak?)
But both these stories about Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lawrence… are they really news worthy? Apparently so, because they are. Because people search these kind of things out and read about it. Why does this matter so much? I think it’s sad that there are news articles about these women’s weight. Choosing not to diet is newsworthy. Gaining a little weight makes headlines. Is this or is this not kind of fucked up? I’m not talking about journalists and news sites doing a really bang up job of bringing the public important news; it’s this standard of beauty, this pressure on women, to be beautiful and thin in the media. I always hear about the pressure the media puts on women… it’s right here! We’re still doing it.
We hear about Lady Gaga gaining weight, and not about some one like let’s say Adele, because Lady Gaga is a sex symbol, and her gaining this weight is contrary to the popular public belief of what beauty and sex is.
We hear about Jennifer refusing to diet because she’s a famous woman and famous women have a long line of history of being thin and
gorgeous; of being anorexic and bulimic; of popping pills and getting plastic surgery done to be plump and symmetrical; of being the most beautiful people on earth. And hearing a celebrity is on a diet is not something that the public shakes their head at and says “She’s already beautiful. She should just love herself for who she is.” No, we instead go “Yeah, good for her, losing some weight,” or “What diet did she use? I want to try it too.”
These famous people, the people flooding the media, are invariably and unfortunately the people that we as a whole try to model ourselves against (probably more so children and teens than anyone else). The more people we have coming out and not only saying love yourself for who you are, but actually doing that, the better off we’ll be I think. That message will start to seep into the younger generations. They’ll take it seriously because a celebrity said it instead of their moms.
Hm, I wonder if I’ve gotten a smidgen off point here? Oh well. Let’s bring it back. Anyone who thinks it is their business to tell these women how they should and should not look can go fuck themselves. There, that seemed to wrap it up nicely.


DJ Eddie Trunk recently hosted a radio broadcast from the House of Blues in Houston, and during a Q&A session with fans was asked about his opinion on the future of Rush.
"... [Neil Peart]'s out. I think he's done...done...done. However Geddy is the total opposite. I talked to Geddy a couple times ... and Geddy told me he is actually reinvigorated. He told me at the time he made some changes to his diet which helped his voice ... and he had a ton of energy, and he wanted to make music and continue in some way. Alex seems to be somewhere in the middle. Alex has said publicly he absolutely wants to do some stuff again. He's doing some producing, he's doing some writing. There has been talk about a band called Lee-Lifeson, which would be the two of them going out and doing stuff together. They would never call it Rush. Those guys are too classy...they would never do that... They would call it potentially Lee-Lifeson, maybe play some Rush tunes and make new music, because they want to continue to create new music as well. I've heard rumors about that ... It's up to them..."
Whether Trunk has any actual inside information or is just speculating based on what both Geddy and Alex have said in recent interviews isn't clear. However, it should be noted that Trunk was referencing some older interviews and conversations he'd had with the band, along with several already publicly available interviews that have taken place in the last couple of years. He also admits that, "he's heard rumors", so it's unlikely he has any kind of inside track. Both Geddy and Alex have said on several occasions that the pair expect to work together in some capacity in the future, so any speculation of a future Lee-Lifeson collaboration (personally, I prefer Dirxst) isn't really much of a reach. In Alex Lifeson's Sirius XM interview back in April he said the following:
... Ged and I will probably do something together. He's been really busy. He's working on his own little book project. He's become quite a bass guitar collector, and he wants to do a little thing on the history of the instrument. So that's keeping him super busy. ...


Famous Duos of the Past: What Happened to them?
Some of the famous duos of the past have entertained like no single act could have ever done. Some stayed together, some drifted apart, and some famous duos of the past went through high profile breakups that were publicity nightmares. In this article, we will take a close look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of the duos of the past.
Simon and Garfunkel - One of the essential groups of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s and one of folk rock’s most successful groups of all time, Simon and Garfunkel enjoyed success as both singers and songwriters. Their songs, “Sound of Silence”, “Mrs. Robinson”, and “Bridge Over Troubled Water” helped them to reach the peak of their success by 1970. By this time, the two had grown tired of working with each other, and they decided to take a break from singing together. Eventually, the temporary break turned into a permanent breakup, with only a few concerts periodically performed together.
Sonny and Cher - In the middle to late 1960’s, the married couple of Sonny and Cher became household names and sex symbols for the hippie generation. Their most famous song “I Got You Babe” won them widespread fame and is still widely recognizable to this day by members of all generations due to its inclusion in a wide variety of movies and television programs. When their musical career began to fade, Sonny and Cher tried to revive their careers by a short-lived and largely unsuccessful attempt at starring in a couple of movies together. They did have a successful run at a television show together, but when their marriage failed publicly in 1974, they parted ways professionally as well. Cher went on to success as a movie star, and Sonny Bono became a Congressman from California until his untimely death in a skiing accident in 1998.
Cheech and Chong- Possibly one of the most recognized comic duos since the 1970’s. Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong have filled television and movie screens with acts of stupidity and excessive drug and alcohol consumption. Cheech and Chong’s first full length movie was “Up In Smoke”. The movie debuted in 1978 and is even recognized by today’s newer generations. In 1985, the duo went separate ways. Cheech Marin went on to participate in the Disney film known as Oliver And Company, The Lion King, Cars and Nash Bridges to name a few. Tommy Chong, also making an attempt at a solo career, participated in movies such as Far Out Man and Half Baked. He also played the role of Leo on That 70’s Show. In 2000, the duo reunited for the popular television series South Park and have worked together on a limited basis since.
Laurel and Hardy- This is another one of those duos that is still a part of popular culture to this day. The duo joined in the 1920’s and were seen together into the 1950’s. They acted together in both silent and talking short films and feature length films, including Lucky Dog, Sons of the Desert, Way Out West, and Block-Heads. The comedy duo stayed together until health problems prevented them from performing any longer.
Abbott and Costello - “Who’s on First?” These words best characterize the memory of Abbott and Costello as their most famous routine, still repeated to this day in television and films. Their careers saw them moving through the burlesque stage, to radio, and finally to television. From 1936 until their amicable split in 1957, the pair was widely known as the kings of comedy.
Famous duos have entertained us for years, and the memory of some of these most famous duos will live on in popular culture. As they say, all good things come to an end, but their contributions to society will endure.


Wow! The San Francisco Chronicle's Joel Selvin badly needs a new and different life:
'American Idol' champ Clarkson struggles to the finish line in local headlining debut: Kelly Clarkson was not having a good night. Instead of presiding triumphantly over an amphitheater full of screaming teens anointing her a true pop goddess, she cut off the electric guitars and hobbled into the finale. Her voice in shreds, she dropped the key and slowed the beat for the climactic performance of her big hit, "Since U Been Gone." She sang, but without any vitality, flat and listless. She left most of the singing to the audience, parading around the stage holding the microphone out to the crowd, who happily supplied the chorus. Clarkson looked ragged, drained. What should have been a victory lap looked like a forced march.
The song has been the biggest pop hit of the year, rescuing 23-year-old Clarkson from the footnote oblivion of having been the first winner of TV's "American Idol." Clarkson arrived for her Bay Area headline concert debut Sunday at UC Berkeley's Greek Theatre to be greeted by a larger-than-expected crowd of more than 6,000 enthusiasts who were screaming her name in unison -- "Kell-lee" -- before she took the stage.
She apologized for her voice after the raw edges showed on a ballad. She talked about having the next day off (after the show she did, in fact, cancel a concert scheduled for Santa Barbara). She nevertheless pulled off the frenzied final chorus of Annie Lennox's "Why." But she was not happy. She made her three guitar players switch to acoustics and tried to regain her equilibrium. Rather than stop the show, she said, they would soldier on. "We'll try to have the same good time," she said, "only at a lower key."
With a hit that big on the charts -- and the limited shelf life of pop hits -- her agents can be forgiven for having her do more than four shows a week this summer. But her gymnastic vocal style calls for a sturdy athleticism that she couldn't summon Sunday. Her big numbers rely on ringing choruses she drives home with blasting, trumpet-like high notes, and, her voice gone, she didn't have other resources to fall back on, as a cunning veteran might. She is, after all, a relative newcomer who owes her fame to winning a talent show on television three years ago, and she was already widely presumed to be washed up. Her surprising career resurrection comes from Swedish songsmith Max Martin, the man who brought you Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys and who has been having a hard time buying a hit himself recently.
Clarkson managed to separate herself from the machinations of the evil geniuses behind "American Idol" -- the ones who made her sing "A Moment Like This" and star in the movie "From Justin to Kelly" -- and she apparently sought out this new career strategy for herself. She has clearly long placed her faith in the work of makeup, hair and wardrobe professionals, although the stylist that picked out the impossibly low-cut knee pants and halter-top outfit didn't do her any favors.
She exuded a certain cheery charm, a becoming modesty that suits her talents, a willingness to please that is always attractive in an entertainer. Her wholesome exuberance is more tomboy than sexy. But waving at fans in the front rows during dramatic passages of a song might be taking the giggly, girlish thing a little too far.
There were moments tinged with promise -- a Joplinesque rasp on the edge of a soulful ballad, a sweet turn in her voice in the country-pop of Rascal Flatts' "I'm Movin' On" that suggested early Ronstadt. But largely she stuck to cookie-cutter teen pop that really wasn't all that interesting or memorable, save for the big hit, of course, which is a great, glowing, gleaming piece of pop cheese Clarkson is likely never to see the likes of again.
We took the Twelve-Year-Old to the concert at Berkeley's Greek Theatre. No, she was not listless. No, it did not look like a forced march. Yes, she has some excellent material to work with. Yes, she has very good taste in the cover songs she chooses. We saw a twenty-two year old realizing as she got into her set that her voice that night couldn't carry the belt-it-out vocal strategy of her new album, and trying to regroup and adjust so that she could do a set that would (a) please her fans, while (b) not straining her voice too far. We saw a remarkably professional twenty-two year old.
She has a voice. She has range. She has presence. She has 160,000 people who have seen her this summer. If she gets good vocal coaches who will help her save and develop her voice, she could do very well.
Joel Selvin, on the other hand.... He needs to get out of town--get out of the music-covering business--before he does himself serious damage.

She's a #bordellepowerbitch and she knows it 'I am definitely a woman and I definitely enjoy it'.

Tanzanian singer and Wasafi Records CEO Diamond Platnumz has stated that his behaving like a responsible man started when Kenyan radio presenter Tanasha Donna entered into his life. He further said that he was disappointed of the relationship not lasting longer due to Tanasha’s different plans.
The two were in a relationship and were blessed with a baby boy before taking either sides.
This was a result of claims that Diamond was cheating on Tanasha. However, Diamond Platnumz has come out to deny ever cheating on Tanasha.
“She never caught me red handed… Seriously, it was during the time I was with Tanasha that I decided to do away with all my past childish behavior and dedicated my time to her,” Diamond side on TV.
“I seriously wanted to marry Tanasha at 100 per cent or even one million per cent and that was why if someone spoke bad of her, I would simply post her picture as a clear message of how I love and respect her,” stretched Diamond Platnumz.

Previously, Tanasha made it clear she would not pay Diamond Platnumz back for his sins but would fight evil with good deeds and wait for God to make her shine internationally because “I knew God wasn’t sleeping. He always wins,” wrote Tanasha

In between the past and future, tradition and modernity. Singer, composer, producer, and performer Lyra Pramuk brings a unique artistic vision to today’s pop music. She mixes classical vocalism, pop sensibilities, performance practices and contemporary club culture in what can best be described as futurist folk music. Her main instrument is her own voice – sampled, mutated through various machinery and software and then layered so as to create a hypnotic stream of sounds and drones. It is deeply spiritual music, basically wordless but rich with meanings.
In Lyra Pramuk’s 2020 debut album Fountain, released on Icelandic label Bedroom Community, was hailed as a future classic by music reviewers, earning her comparisons to both Arthur Russell and Holly Herndon, the latter of which Pramuk has collaborated with. “Pramuk’s debut album generously looks inward to illuminate the multiplicity of the self”, wrote Pitchfork. Just a few days ahead of her performance at Lunchmeat, Pramuk is set to release a remix album ‘Delta’, with reinterpretations of songs from Fountain from Ben Frost, Hudson Mohawke, Caterina Barbieri and KMRU.
