Amy Winehouse scored a UK hit with 2003's "i"Frank, but her follow-up is another story. Released in 2007, "i"Back to Black blew up worldwide. So, the bouffant belter took her soulful show on the road. It turned out to be a short trip; after only a few dates, she canceled her North American tour due to "severe exhaustion." Fortunately, "i"I Told You I Was Trouble captures the petite powerhouse before personal problems sidelined her for the rest of the year. Recorded live at London's Shepherd's Bush, Winehouse and nine-piece ensemble, including two smooth-moving back-up singers, blast through 13 originals and four covers, including the Zutons' "Valerie" and the Specials' "Hey Little Rich Girl." Vivacious voice aside, Winehouse looks uncomfortable at times, alternately awkward and endearing. Yes, she drinks, but insecurity appears to be as much to blame as (possible) inebriation, though she does loosen up after awhile. And there's some good stuff here, especially the Ronettes-inspired "Back to Black" and "Rehab." As her albums attest, Winehouse is one of the decade's most electrifying artists, but the stage may not be the best showcase for her abilities--not yet, at any rate. While I Told You I Was Trouble isn't the triumph it could've been, it isn't a train wreck either. The informative 50-minute documentary features interviews with Winehouse, her proud papa, and the Aamp;R representative who signed her to Island Records. One of the lady痴 more interesting revelations: "The more insecure I get, the bigger my hair has to be." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Already hailed as one of the decade's top live performers, Amy gives us fair warning with the devilishly titled I Told You I Was Trouble. The DVD features as its centerpiece a rollicking and emotive 60 minute concert performance filmed live from London's 104 year old Sheperd's Bush Empire. For Amy Winehouse fans, I Told You I Was Trouble also serves up a potpourri of bonus material including a 50 minute film chronicling her incredible rise as one of music's most colorful and acclaimed new voices; never-before-seen early performances; an interview with her father, and other rare, behind the scenes glimpses of the British siren. Showcasing her hit songs from her UK debut release Frank and the international platinum-plus release Back To Black (recently passing the 3 million sales milestone worldwide), the concert from Sheperd's Bush features "You Know I'm No Good," "Tears Dry On Their Own", Amy's cover of the Zuton's "Valerie", and her Billboard topping hit "Rehab," among others.


How many times do I have to say it? The bespoke tailored suit is a panacea for all kinds of appearance-related issues. First we had Pete Doherty transforming himself before the courts into a well-dressed Artful Dodger, albeit on amphetamines; now we have Justin the affectionately named ‘trousersnake’ giving Sean Connery a run for his money.
Perhaps it’s something to do with the fact that he's got an album out now, which by all reports is said to be rather good. But more importantly for us, he seems to have come of age, stylistically at least. So let me salute the birth of a style icon. An unlikely style icon, perhaps. But then the best always are.
To catch a rear view of the be-suited Justin visit:

– Former US president Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn Carter are spending their final days together at their home in Plains, Georgia.
– Jimmy Carter, at the age of 98, entered hospice care in February, while Rosalynn Carter, aged 96, was diagnosed with dementia in May.
– Despite their challenges, the Carters continue to hold hands and display their enduring love for one another.
– Jimmy Carter served as the 39th president of the United States, with Rosalynn Carter playing a significant role as the influential first lady.
– Jimmy Carter holds the record as the longest-lived president and has dedicated his post-presidency to diplomatic missions and philanthropy.
Former US president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, are entering their “final chapter” together at their home in Plains, Georgia, according to the couple’s grandson.
In an interview with People magazine, Josh Carter revealed that it is evident that his grandparents are nearing the end of their lives.
Jimmy Carter, who is 98 years old, entered hospice care in February with the desire to spend his remaining time at home surrounded by family.
Meanwhile, in May, the Carter family shared the news that Rosalynn Carter, aged 96, has been diagnosed with dementia.
Describing his grandparents as the “entertainers,” Josh Carter acknowledged that the roles have reversed, and now the family has taken on the responsibility of entertaining them.
Despite his age, Jimmy Carter is still fully himself, although tired.
According to Josh, he continues to feel the love that surrounds him. Rosalynn, on the other hand, still recognizes her family for the most part and is capable of forming new memories.
The Carters have been married for 77 years, tying the knot in 1946.
Jimmy Carter served in the US Navy before becoming the Democratic governor of Georgia in 1971. His presidential victory in the 1976 bicentennial election secured his place as the 39th president of the United States, defeating Republican Gerald Ford.
Throughout his term, Rosalynn Carter, known as the “Steel Magnolia,” played a significant role as a powerful and influential first lady, often influencing her husband’s decision-making.
Josh Carter reflected on his grandfather’s feelings towards his wife’s struggle with dementia, expressing that it must be challenging for him.
However, he also highlighted the incredible bond the couple shares, having experienced everything together.
With awe, he shared that they continue to hold hands, emphasizing the beauty of their enduring love.
Jimmy Carter holds the record for being the longest-lived president in history. Since leaving office, he has dedicated his time to diplomatic missions and philanthropy.
In 2002, he was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in seeking peaceful resolutions to conflicts, advancing democracy and human rights, and promoting social and economic development.
Regarding their future, Josh Carter revealed that it is likely his grandfather will pass away before his grandmother.
As Jimmy Carter is in hospice care while Rosalynn is not, the situation can be seen as a matter of simple mathematics.
In March, President Joe Biden announced that Jimmy Carter had asked him to deliver his eulogy when the time comes.


TMZ, the well-known celebrity news website, publishes several exclusive stories each day. The stories, covering a range of celebrity news and entertainment are widely syndicated. When a story begins to trend, or go viral, media outlets and social media accounts continue to syndicate, or “distribute” the news. As news begins to trend, the attribution to the story’s source begins to decline at an alarming rate.
Taking a sampling of the latest viral TMZ exclusive story, Jay Z Physically Attacked by Beyonce’s Sister, the Critical Mention media monitoring tool identified a trend in the lack of attribution to the source, TMZ. Out of 611 television mentions that included Beyonce’s Sister, Jay-Z, or Solange, Critical Mention uncovered only 144 mentions that included TMZ within 60 seconds of the story on May 12, 2014. That’s only 24% attribution.
Surprisingly enough, TMZ itself was only mentioned 329 times on the same day the exclusive story was published. That’s a rate of only 54% of TV stations citing TMZ with their exclusive story.
Here’s sample media from KAMR, an NBC affiliate out of Amarillo, Texas, that accurately cites TMZ in their broadcast coverage:


Devoted to Tom! It's about time we had an LJ community devoted entirely to the lovely and wonderfully versatile Tom Hollander. This is a general place to post pictures, critique his latest work, talk about previous roles, discuss what he's publicly up to and speculate on the future of his acting career. That being said there is no objection to the odd squeeing. No OT posts.


Like any baby model, ~A~ has a particular image that he has to portray: Cool, hipster baby. That’s why he has his entourage and wears the shades.
(Although I suspect that they also may be to hide his bloodshot eyes from late nights. Or maybe that was his parents…)
Here he is trying to avoid the paparazzi. (No questions, please!)
And the money shot from the photo shoot?
It’s called: Where’s my Coffee?


During this year’s wild Video Music Awards on MTV, there was a brief interlude about a third of the way through the broadcast where comedian Kevin Hart talked about the show’s performances up to that point. His main contribution to the show was his surprise that Lady Gaga had such a big ass. He commented that he had been checking it out during Gaga’s show opening performance, which featured the performer going through multiple costume changes on stage, ultimately ending up in just a tiny thong and a seashell bra. As if that weren’t bad enough, Hart then went on to discuss the most controversial performance of the night: Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke’s rendition of Blurred Lines.
Though he was going for humorous effect, Hart stumbled onto a serious element of truth with his analysis of the duet. He said that Miley should probably get a pregnancy test after grinding on Thicke during the performance, and that other young girls should stay away from Thicke unless they want to end up on an Amber Alert. Given what had just transpired on stage, let alone the fact that women are still kidnapped, raped, and killed by men at a horrific rate, it definitely wasn’t funny.
But even though Hart’s critique of the performance was crude and inappropriate, at least he found the right target, Robin Thicke, unlike the mainstream media and social media universe. Following Cyrus’ performance, in which she brought “twerking” fully into the mainstream, Twitter exploded into a frenzy, setting a record for the most tweets per minute on a given subject at over 300,000, which is even more than the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, most of the Tweets and Facebook posts, as well as the reaction from the mainstream media focused almost exclusively on Cyrus. There was lots of “What was Miley thinking?” and “Should your daughter be watching Miley Cyrus?”, plus all sorts of extremely derogatory name-calling through social media.
Granted, while it is unfortunate that Miley Cyrus bought into this performance and allowed herself to be brought down to such a low level, the truly awful aspect of it was the way it illuminated the double standard women face under this system. Almost none of the negative reaction went toward Robin Thicke and the performance of his extremely misogynistic song “Blurred Lines,” a song that is all about pressuring women into sex. The chorus “you know you want it” (which is often the last thing a woman hears before she gets raped) repeats over and over. The song’s music video features topless women prancing around for men’s amusement, and during the VMAs Miley Cyrus essentially played that role. She stripped down into a skimpy two-piece outfit and twerked and grinded in front of Thicke.
It’s extremely telling that in our society a man can sing a song with lyrics that compare women to dogs and promotes a misinterpretation of “liberation” in order to pressure women into giving over their bodies for a man’s pleasure, and then when a woman actually does exactly what the man wants, strips down and dances and grinds for his pleasure, she’s instantly labeled a “bitch” or a “slut” or a “whore.” Meanwhile, the man who pressures women into a subservient, objectified role and benefits from the kind of behavior that Cyrus demonstrated doesn’t get criticized at all. It’s the male privilege under this system to exploit women sexually and skate away clean, while women must endure and defend themselves against the backlash that results from daring to be openly sexual. The Cyrus/Thicke performance has perfectly demonstrated the double-standard women face on a daily basis.
Again, it’s unfortunate that Cyrus participated in a performance that reduced her to nothing more than a sex object for a man’s pleasure, but to be clear, the villain here is the patriarchal system of male privilege that allows men to encourage the objectification and the exploitation of women, and then turns around and viciously attacks women who actually conform to those demands. “Don’t be such a prude,” followed by, “You’re such a filthy slut!” Under this system women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Miley Cyrus was damned because she did, taking all the backlash that should have been aimed at Robin Thicke.
However, while the 2013 VMAs will forever bare the black-eye of the Cyrus/Thicke performance which was controversial for all the wrong reasons, there were some positive moments from the broadcast.
Justin Timberlake cemented his status as the coolest human being alive with an epic greatest hits performance that featured a brief reunion with his boy-band N*Sync. Taylor Swift’s fantastic video for “I Knew You Were Trouble” won the award for Best Female Video, and Jason Collins, the first active athlete in a team sport to come out as gay, introduced a great performance of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s song “Same Love” which puts forward a powerful pro-gay message. And the show ended on a strong note with Katy Perry performing her hit “Roar” for the very first time.
It’s interesting to contrast Miley’s performance with Katy Perry’s. Cyrus is a huge star in her own right. She developed a massive following while performing as Disney’s Hannah Montana, and she successfully transitioned into a career under her own name. She is one of the wealthiest young people in the world with a media empire dwarfing that of her father’s, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. And yet, all that wealth, power, and industry clout was meaningless on stage during the VMAs. Instead of taking her career to even new heights and solidifying herself as a powerful female mega-star, she took a back seat to the up and coming misogynist Robin Thicke. It was a degrading performance that in one stroke showed how good it is to be a man under this system, and how difficult and complicated it is to be a women.
Perry’s performance on the other hand was much closer to what Miley’s should have been. She was sexy without objectifying herself, dressed up as a boxer, and in an extremely well choreographed performance lit up the night under the Brooklyn Bridge with a display of raw female athleticism, power, and talent. She didn’t take a back seat to any man or play the part of the slut, she sang a good pop song on her own terms and ended a controversial award show on a generally positive note.


VIRTUAL MICHAEL JACKSON
An Optimum Productions
and Pulse Evolution Production
Produced by John Textor, Frank Patterson
and Karen Langford
Executive Produced by John Branca
After years of developing their skills in the feature film visual effects world, the team at Pulse Evolution decided its very first project should be something the world would remember, with one of the world’s biggest celebrities that no one wants to forget…King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
With the support of the Michael Jackson Estate, as founding shareholders of Pulse Evolution, and a long list of Michael’s favorite collaborators that included director Jamie King, choreographers Rich and Tone Talauega, and actual dance cast members from Michael’s This is it Tour, the audience at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards was treated to an up-close experience with Virtual Michael Jackson that left many in tears.
Pulse Evolution, still today, is thrilled to have been a part of Sony Music’s release of his never before experienced hit single Slave to the Rhythm, creating valuable support to the global release of his album Xscape. The Billboard Music Awards performance in 2014 was seen by more than 11 million live television viewers, 75 million Youtube views, generating more than 2,400 news articles and 98 billion Internet impressions.
Even South Park got into the act, producing the South Park #Rehash episode in season 18, featuring Pulse founder’s John Textor and Frank Patterson as they enlist their ‘Tupac Hologram’ to track down the ‘Michael Jackson Hologram’ who has escaped.
The Company has a long-term agreement with the Estate of Michael Jackson, a shareholder of the Company, to share in the revenues of any commercial use of the digital likeness of Michael Jackson.

Another one bites the dust: Josh McDermitt quit social media recently over online abuse. The Walking Dead star closed his accounts—Twitter, Instagram and Facebook—right after the show’s season finale. Before his departure, McDermitt made a final Facebook Live broadcast to give parting words and put trolls on blast. The latest case on online abuse of celebrities, McDermitt’s story is sadly all too common.
No Social Media Protection For Death Threats
According to McDermitt, the actor faced death threats throughout his time on the show along with other abuse. The abusive remarks seem to be in response to his role on the Walking Dead. “When you start saying you hope I die,” McDermitt said on his Facebook broadcast, “I don’t know if you’re talking about Josh or Eugene. I gotta report that s—t.” He railed against the trolls, suggesting they live their own lives offline rather than target others on social media.
The Response to McDermitt’s Celebrity Online Abuse
After McDermitt quit social media, fans flocked to the networks to voice their support for the star. Rallying around the hashtag #TWDFamily, fans paid tribute to try to offset the hatred McDermitt faced. While the goodwill and kind words are heartwarming, the entire situation reminds us that social networks often fail to protect users—even celebrities.
After actress Leslie Jones faced an onslaught of abuse on Twitter, the network suspended Milo Yiannoppoulos, an influential writer who’d taken part in the brigade. Many applauded the move, viewing it as a statement that Twitter would finally curb abuse that the platform garnered a reputation for. Months later, the social network is still viewed as a bastion for trolls. To truly be safe, celebrities need social media protection.
Celebrity Online Abuse is Too Common
While online abuse is prevalent across the internet for marginalized communities, celebrities face a unique brand of abuse. For McDermitt, the problem was fans who seem to have difficulty separating fact from fiction: their hatred towards his character translated to perceived death threats against the actor himself.
A lot of hate slung at celebrities is in response to their public personas—regardless of who they are behind the scenes. Social media provides an excellent way for celebrities to show candid, honest portrayals of themselves to fans. But for celebrities, it also provides a collated feed of abuse right on their timelines.
This has caused a revolving door of celebrities to walk away from social media. Justin Bieber quit Instagram not too long after his relationship became the subject of public debate. Daisy Riley of Star Wars: The Force Awakens fame left Instagram too after an anti-gun violence post was met with backlash. Lena Dunham famously stopped tweeting, but now has an assistant post to the platform on her behalf to avoid the hate. The list of cyberbullied celebrities goes on.
How to Handle Online Abuse of Celebrities
Just as Dunham had done, celebrities protect themselves from abuse by employing assistants to handle social tasks. A mediator doesn’t have to mean distancing oneself from their fans; Adele, for example, writes her own tweets, which are approved and published by her management.
It’s well known that Kim Kardashian handles all her social media accounts herself. Those who want to follow suit while protecting themselves from celebrity online abuse may do so with the help of automated comment moderation. The big networks each have their own brand of native comment moderation tools for social media protection, and third-party tools—like our own—are available to fill in the gaps where native tools fail.
Social media has a lot to offer celebs, both the big ones and the smaller (yet influential) content creators making names for themselves online. The communities allow them to form deep connections with their fans, show off a new side of themselves, and gain insight into what their fans say and think. No one should have to walk away from social media in fear, but with social media protection tools, they may continue engaging with their communities.

“Bobby Sessions, the legend from Dallas, Texas.” That identifying lyric from the album LOA (Law Of Attraction) is merely one example of the self-affirming ideals Bobby Sessions conveys on record. While some may say this statement is too boastful for a rapper who just released his debut album, for Sessions it’s simply speaking into existence what he knows he will achieve as an artist. This thought process is summed up in the title and main theme behind Bobby’s album, LOA. The “law of attraction” is the theory that anything you can see in your mind, you can hold in your hand. The instant acclaim the rapper has earned from media and fans alike is not a surprise to Sessions. He saw it all in his mind long before it manifested in real life.
Born and raised entirely in Dallas, Bobby Sessions has put the city at the forefront during his rise as an artist and plans to be a catalyst for breaking not only himself but also his hometown into the mainstream after long being ignored and misrepresented. “It is important for me to achieve my success from Dallas. Most people have to leave to LA or New York to get recognized but I want to prove we have all the resources in this great city to get a quality artist to the next level.”

“Weird Al” Yankovic Joins the Pop! Vinyl Lineup
8 Mar, 2018
Author: Christian Mason
Primarily parody based musician, “Weird Al” will be receiving immortalization that the common man can only dream about. He’s being made into a Pop! Vinyl figure!
If you don’t know who “Weird Al” is, I’m impressed. He’s a musician who most often takes aim at popular music by creating parodies of songs, all in the name of good fun, of course. Whether it be Nirvana, The White Stripes or Michael Jackson, “Weird Al” has been making us all laugh since the 80’s. Besides touring and making music, he’s also recently been a part of the comedy show Comedy Bang Bang. For further reference, or possibly remembrance, check out the video below of one of his most popular hits.
Video Courtesy of Youtube Account: alyankovicVEVO
“Weird Al” announced the Funko produced figure on February 16th from his official Twitter and shared the first look at it. He followed it up several hours later with a different figure featuring one of his costumes. The Pop! Figure design choices are a little interesting. Funko seems to have gone with the classic 80’s look for the first figure, rather than how the singer currently looks and presents himself. The second is the costume he wore in the music video (and usually during live performances) of his song Fat, a parody of Michael Jackson’s Bad. With the recent resurgence of 80’s culture though, it’s not too surprising. Though older, these two looks are very iconic of the man himself.
The Alternative “Fat” Costume Version
Either will make great additions to your collection or gifts for the “Weird Al” fans in your life. No word yet on if we will see other costumes from other music videos yet, but we can only hope.
All Images Courtesy of Funko
Will you be picking up a “Weird Al” Pop! Vinyl Figure to add to your collection? What other iterations of Al would you like to see made by Funko? Feel free to leave a comment. I read them, I promise. Heck, I’ll probably even respond to it!

Grade is one of the biggest hypocrites on Youtube. He says Youtubers should take criticism yet when he received some, he told his former fan to fuck off. Soon after that he called his underage moderator a whore. He never apologized for this. Another example of hypocrisy is the fact he hates reaction channels yet he is friends with Leafy is here. He likes to point out the errors of Youtube with #MAKEYOUTUBEGREATAGAIN. But since he is friends with Leafy it's hard to support him. On Jun 19, 2016 he made a video falsely accusing Keemstar of being a pedophile, later it came out for HeyWatchYourMouth that this was a business decision. Later Leafy made a shit apology video and Grade just made a video whining about him getting hate. He changed his reasons for betraying Keemstar from, Keemstar releasing private pictures of Pyro's face to Keemstar saying racist things about minorities, ( Over a video game ) despite the fact that he himself defended Keemstar for the racist comments and fully acknowledging what context they were said in in the past.

About the Artist
Praised for her vocal beauty, seamless technique, and abundant musicality, Nadine Sierra is being hailed as one of the most promising, young talents in opera today. She was named the Richard Tucker Award Winner in 2017 and was awarded the 2018 Beverly Sills Artist Award by the Metropolitan Opera. Having made a string of successful debuts at the Met, Teatro alla Scala, Opéra national de Paris, and Staatsoper Berlin, she has become a fixture at many of the top houses around the world.

New media trumps MSMJune 25th, 2009 at 6:32 pm by Bob Grip under FOX10 News, Lenise Ligon - Daily Dot Com
When it came to announcing the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, TMZ.com was not only first, it was right. As we waited for the Associated Press to carry word of Jackson’s fate, TMZ.com was the first to announce he had been rushed to the hospital, was in cardiac arrest and finally, that he had died.
During an interview with Shep Smith on Fox News Channel, a producer from TMZ.com talked about breaking the story. It came down to old-fashioned journalism. She explained the TMZ staff knew the city (Los Angeles) and heard the radio transmission about paramedics being called out. That’s all it took to get the staff in motion.
We had been monitoring all the traditional news sources, as well as hitting the refresh key over and over again on TMZ.com.
We started posting news alerts here on fox10tv.com, but as it came close to newstime at 5 p.m., we still didn’t have confirmation that Jackson had died. I chose to say there were conflicting reports about his health–that some sources were saying he was in cardiac arrest but that TMZ said he was dead. We kept updating the story throughout the newscast as additional information came in–first from the Los Angeles Times website and then finally at 5:27 from the AP:
LOS ANGELES (AP) – A person with knowledge of the situation says Michael Jackson has died.
(Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
By then, though, it was old news, thanks to TMZ.com.


What’s with the collective fascination with Frida Kahlo, anyway? How did Mexico’s obsession with the artist turn her into one of the most famous global icons of all time? We know so much about her, so much of her life has been documented, and yet it’s like no one ever really knew what was going on inside her mind. The alluring, dark mystery that surrounds her is beyond intriguing: it transcends cultures, time and space.
She represents both the light and the dark: she was born to survive pain and tragedy, and simultaneously embodies universal beauty. She's the Divine Feminine, she's Mother Nature, she's all animals, she's the four elements.
Maybe we love Frida so much because she's the story of Mexico, told in one woman. It's like Academy Award-winning Mexican film director Guillermo del Toro recently said: “No one loves life more than we (Mexicans) do, because we are so conscious about death."
We forget how much she had already suffered before she met Diego, her life's "accident", as she later referred to him. She contracted polio at the age of 6 and as a teenager survived a bus crash that left her in severe pain for the rest of her life. She underwent several spinal surgeries, none of which fully healed her.
She created hundreds of paintings as a professional artist, most of which are self portraits. Interestingly, no one has ever associated Frida's name with vanity: there's an underlying basic human truth about her, even if she rarely spoke of it. Frida was a lone wolf, which made her incredibly self-aware. "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."
She was the unapologetic woman. She married Diego Rivera against her parents wishes. She drank and smoked. She created pieces of work that were feminist and controversial. Her marriage suffered continuous affairs and heartache, culminating with Diego cheating on her with her sister. She was left with no choice but to counter these events with art, and (thankfully) committed her own series of infidelities, both with men and women.
When you visit the Casa Azul in Mexico City, Frida’s home in Coyoacán, you’ll see her art studio, her bedrooms, kitchen, the gardens, the clothes she wore and of course, her art. In every step of the way, you can see her spirit and intensity, the feminist icon that so many people, Mexican or not, will forever adore.


You understand him because the good, nerdy dude from Jurassic Park and Independence Day. But when issues had turned out in a different way, Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum may need added one other function to his lengthy record of credit: the voice of Siri.

What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, robust humor and, above all empathy.

His way to reaction
Frank Sinatra (1915-1998)
Torch singer and noted film actor Frank Sinatra grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, where his mother was a political activist. From his mid-teens to early 20s Sinatra sang for little or no pay. But in 1939 his career started to take off, first as the Harry James’ band’s first vocalist and then singing with Tommy Dorsey’s band for $125 a week. Sinatra left the band in 1942, with Dorsey demanding a contractual 43% of Sinatra’s earnings for the next 10 years. Sinatra took over as star of the top radio show The hit parade in 1943 and signed a contract with musical film studio RKO. He was able to insist that his own nominees write the musical score for the hit film Anchors aweigh (1945), in which Sinatra starred with Gene Kelly, after MGM bought up his RKO contract.
By 1945, Frank Sinatra had become a household name, so it was hardly economic pressures that influenced his decision to take the singing role in the 10-minute anti-racist film The house I live in, shown throughout the USA. The title song, which Sinatra later released as a single, was composed by US communist Earl Robinson; Albert Maltz, one of the blacklisted and hounded Hollywood Ten and Sinatra’s good friend, wrote the screenplay.
Sinatra’s progressive stance in the 1940s was not superficial, something underlined by another of his friends from those years quoted in Kitty Kelly’s His way: the unauthorized biography of Frank Sinatra. Jo-Carrol Silvers recalls that, “Both Frank and I were fairly close to the Communist Party line at that time. Neither of us was a card-carrying member, of course, but were both close to people like Albert Maltz who were, and we shared their beliefs for the most part.” Although Sinatra did not join the CPUSA, he worked closely with communists in the Hollywood Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions.
After a visit to Cuba in 1947, where Sinatra was photographed socialising with known mafiosi, Hearst newspaper columnists renamed him with a gangster epithet. A couple of duff films followed, The kissing bandit and The miracle of the bells, both produced in 1948. But in 1949, Sinatra linked up with Gene Kelly again for Take me out to the ball game and On the town, temporarily lifting his career. Some fallow years of collapsing popularity were ended when Sinatra took the role of Private Angelo Maggio, for rock-bottom pay, in From here to eternity in 1953. After that he never looked back - in more ways than one.
Emotion and passion in Sinatra’s singing and acting ebbed away in terms of his involvement with anything overtly ‘progressive’. Following the McCarthy witch hunt years of the early 1950s, when his marital difficulties took precedence, Sinatra’s energies were totally directed away from anything to do with working class politics. He may have taken humanist roles in some of his films, using his intelligent and sympathetically realistic style to good effect, but his political drift rightwards continued without abatement. A former friend of John F Kennedy, his associates were surprised to see Sinatra cosy up to Reagan in later years. Sinatra became happy to bask in establishment adulation, peaking in the glory of his ‘Living legend’ award at the 1994 Grammys.
Anti-racism was one element that drew Sinatra to the left, associating him with communists, who were at the forefront of anti-racist struggles in the USA at the time. Clearly his relative wealth was no bar, either in his own mind or to leftists who worked with him. Any ideas of human liberation he possessed either became subsumed within his artistic expression or were frittered away and modified piecemeal through the separation of his mode of life from that of most of his audience. Professional setbacks had initially followed resounding successes and probably led Sinatra to separate his social and political concerns from his career, to which he then dedicated himself above all else. Involvement with progressive causes - not easy in the USA of the late 1940s - needed no longer to be his priority, and Sinatra withdrew from any such engagement. Political withdrawal has its own price, of course, since immersion in a sea of bourgeois thought is inevitably corroding, justifying every abandonment of human liberation. Justification for Sinatra ended with him literally singing the praises of his Republican friends.


Johnny Depp’s Net Worth: Charting Towards a Blissful Billionaire RetirementMay 18, 2023 May 18, 2023 /
Headlines alluding to his retirement got me thinking about Johnny Depp’s net worth, and possibly even more importantly, what his net worth could have been or may be in the future had he invested according to financial independence principles. I will get into what Johnny Depp’s net worth might be in the future near the end of this article.
Johnny Depp, as reported by CBSNEWS recently stated he has “no further need for Hollywood” at the Cannes Film Festival.
Depp’s intriguing statement came at the premiere of his latest film, “Jeanne du Barry,” where he starred as King Louis XV under the directorship of Maïwenn. Remarkably, Depp’s performance was entirely in French, showcasing his linguistic prowess and further cementing his reputation for versatility.
The film, a French production, was Depp’s first movie since his 2020 role in “Minamata.”
Why Would Johnny Depp Want To Leave Hollywood?
Despite the excitement surrounding his latest movie, Depp has been in the headlines for more than just his acting. The past few years have been tumultuous for Depp due to a high-profile legal dispute with his ex-wife, fellow actor Amber Heard. Heard made allegations of abuse against Depp, claims that Depp vehemently denied, insisting that these allegations affected his prospects of landing roles.
In a twist of legal fortunes, the court case culminated in a win for Depp, with the jury awarding him $10.35 million in June of last year. Heard, on the other hand, received $2 million as a result of her counterclaim.
Depp, known worldwide for his role as the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, has seen a career marked with towering highs and lows. His declaration of having “no further need for Hollywood” suggests a growing disillusionment with the American film industry.
Is Johnny Depp Going To Act Anymore?
With a highly successful career behind him, it appears that Depp may be choosing to step away from Hollywood, perhaps to chart a new course or to find solace away from the limelight and pressures of Tinseltown.
This departure from Hollywood, whether temporary or permanent, leaves a question mark over the future of an actor who has become an indelible part of modern cinema. For now, audiences can enjoy Depp’s latest performance in “Jeanne du Barry,” as they speculate about what could be next.
And this got me thinking…
How Much Money Has Johnny Depp Made?
A key component of the allure and intrigue of Hollywood is the earnings of its biggest stars. Average salaries for top-tier movie stars can range dramatically based on the stature of the actor, the budget of the film, and the expected box office performance. While an established actor might earn between $15 million to $20 million for a leading role in a high-budget film, these figures can exponentially increase when profit-sharing agreements are included.
Johnny Depp is a Hollywood heavyweight who has made a name for himself as one of the industry’s highest earners. His career spans decades, marked by unique character portrayals and participation in blockbuster franchises.
How Much Does Johnny Depp Make Per Movie?
Here, we spotlight ten movies from Depp’s career and discuss his reported earnings for each:
- “Edward Scissorhands” (1990): In this early leading role that set the stage for his future successes, Depp reportedly earned $1 million.
- “Donnie Brasco” (1997): Playing an undercover FBI agent, Depp reportedly made $5 million.
- “Sleepy Hollow” (1999): As Ichabod Crane, Depp’s earnings were around $10 million, reflecting his rising star power.
- “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003): This was the first of Depp’s lucrative roles as Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp earned around $10 million for this initial outing.
- “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005): For his performance as the eccentric Willy Wonka, Depp’s paycheck was reported to be $18 million.
- “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” (2006): Depp’s earnings increased significantly for the second installment of the franchise, with reports placing his pay at $20 million.
- “Alice in Wonderland” (2010): As the Mad Hatter, Depp reportedly earned $50 million, thanks to a profit-sharing agreement.
- “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (2011): Depp’s pay skyrocketed to a reported $55 million, making it one of the most expensive paychecks in Hollywood history.
- “The Lone Ranger” (2013): Despite the film’s underwhelming box office performance, Depp earned $20 million for his role as Tonto.
- “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” (2018): Depp, despite his short screen time, was reported to have made $10 million for his role as the villain Gellert Grindelwald.
Despite the astounding figures, it’s crucial to remember that such earnings do not translate into pure profit for the actors. Agents, managers, publicists, lawyers, and taxes can take a substantial portion of these paychecks. Still, there’s no denying the financial lure of Hollywood, particularly for A-listers like Johnny Depp, whose career earnings underscore the staggering sums at play in the film industry.
What Could Johnny Depp’s Net Worth Look Like In The Future?
Now just for the sake of “entertainment” let’s plug in just the amounts of these ten projects into a compound interest calculator and see what Johnny Depp’s net worth in the future could be.
If my math serves me correctly, the total of just these 10 films is reportedly 209 million dollars.
At an assumed rate of 8 percent a year, with that amount invested in a low cost broad market index fund today,, Johnny Depp may amass a fortune of $974,140,043.06 in twenty years. That’s nearly a billion dollars!
Johnny Depp, with an impressive initial portfolio value of $974,140,043.06, would be in an enviable position to comfortably apply the 4% rule for his retirement strategy.
The 4 Percent Rule Withdrawal Rate
The 4% rule, a common guideline for sustainable withdrawals in retirement, suggests that Depp could initially withdraw around $38.97 million during the first year.
Thereafter, the withdrawal amount would adjust upwards with inflation. If his portfolio is invested in low-cost broad market index funds, which historically yield an average return of around 8% per annum, it would continue to grow even as he makes his annual withdrawals.
Assuming an average inflation rate of 2%, Depp’s annual spending could increase to around $39.74 million in the second year, and continue to incrementally rise in the following years, thus maintaining his purchasing power.
This spending capability can sustain a luxurious lifestyle befitting a Hollywood A-lister, affording everything from high-end real estate to luxury travel, valuable art, philanthropy, and more.
Math Assumptions And Real Life
These figures represent an ideal scenario that assumes consistent 8% returns, which isn’t guaranteed given the fluctuation of market returns year over year. Therefore, regular portfolio reviews and prudent financial management would be advisable to ensure the sustainability of Depp’s retirement strategy.
It’s worth noting that while this amount of financial independence may seem unfathomable to most, for Johnny Depp, this would represent a culmination of a highly successful career and savvy financial planning, enabling him to live out his years with considerable financial security and freedom.
I Do Not Know Johnny Depp’s Real Net Worth
Having said all of this, I do not know Mr. Depp’s true financial picture, I’m merely academically exploring numbers and potential scenarios based on the reported amount of some of his most well-known films. I do hope he has smart financial coaches in his corner providing sage guidance.
And because Johnny Depp is currently 59 years old as of this writing in 2023, this math does imply that he would be 79 before he started taking withdrawals. So, yes, this is a completely hypothetical exercise and does not account for other money he has earned in reality or the age at which he is going to start drawing down his wealth.
This portion of the article is simply to reflect the idea of compound interest growth and how the 4 percent rule is used to help a person understand to what extent net worth impacts the amount of money a person could expect to have available to them during their retirement.
So who wants to meet me in Hollywood to set out on an eccentric, and profitable, acting career?


The tragic demise of Philip Seymour Hoffman has cast a pall of gloom in the entire film industry in Hollywood. This brilliant yet understated actor was considered to be one of the finest in his generation, by many leading critics and film houses. In an unparalleled movie career, Philips Seymour Hoffman had not only lent his credibility on film but also delivered acclaimed stage performances, showing him not only to be a hugely talented thespian but also an almost-perfect method actor. His acting ability led him to garner four Oscar nominations in seven years — winning the Best Actor Award for Capote (2006) and subsequent Academy Award nominations for The Master, Doubt, and Charlie Wilson’s War.
Here are some leading highlights of Hoffman’s illustrious career:
Scent Of A Woman (1992)
Hoffman had a relatively small role in the movie as George Willis Jr., but it cast him in the limelight and helped him establish a name in Hollywood. Because of his mighty on-screen support with Al Pacino and a glimpse into Hoffman’s acting chops, Scent Of A Woman is considered to be the launch pad of Hoffman’s debut in Hollywood.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
In a wacky satire that has become a much sought after cult movie, Hoffman had an unforgettable supporting role. He played Brandt, an oily, sanctimonious personal secretary who is given the unhappy task of mediating between the two unrelated Lebowskis.
Hoffman was both hypnotizing as well as absolutely persuasive as Truman Capote as he scrutinized the definitive true crime book — In Cold Blood. Capote was an electrifying character – Hoffman captured the articulation, tone, physical demeanour and repartee of Truman Capote – that won him the Best Actor Academy Award he so richly deserved, over another prodigious rendition – Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain.
Enacting the role of Father Brendan Flynn, Hoffman played a parish priest in Doubt, who is warring with the conservative principal of a Catholic school (Meryl Streep) who suspects that the priest is conducting himself unsuitably with an altar boy. If there is a benchmark that is regarded as proof of an actor’s proficiency or expertise: it should be this — acting alongside Meryl Streep. More than up to the challenge, Hoffman earned himself yet another Oscar nomination in Doubt.
The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2012)
The Master saw Hoffman portraying the leader of a mysterious cult, as Lancaster Dodd. Rumours were rife that the cult depicted in the movie known as The Cause was based around Scientology and Hoffman’s character revolved around Ron Hubbard, although it was never confirmed. Playing a complicated, morally distressing persona, Hoffman as Lancaster Dodd was magnetic in his depiction as a cult leader who charms a mentally damaged sailor, played by Joaquin Phoenix. The Master was Hoffman’s final Academy Award nomination, and although he did not win that year, he received an astounding 17 awards for his performance across the world and in various film festivals.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
The latest blockbuster to hit the silver screens before his untimely demise, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire may not have been Hoffman’s finest or the best movie to date, but was the top grossing movie last year. Hoffman had the distinction of providing critical acclaim to sensitive movies as well as lending credibility to commercial success.

In a statement to USA TODAY Thursday, the Trump family called Ivana “an incredible woman,” as well as “a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.”
“Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country,” the statement continued. “She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination.”
Eric Trump paid tribute to his mother in an Instagram post, sharing the same statement along with a family photo. “She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren,” the post read.
“It’s been a very sad day, a very sad day,” Eric Trump said as he left his mother’s home near Central Park, according to The Associated Press.
Ivanka Trump posted childhood photos of herself laughing and smiling with her mother, who she described as “brilliant, charming, passionate and wickedly funny.”
She wrote she was “heartbroken by the passing of my mother,” adding that she “modeled strength, tenacity and determination in her every action.”
“She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance,” Ivanka wrote. “I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.”
Trump was born Ivana Zelníčková in the Czechoslovak city of Gottwaldov, formerly Zlin, on Feb. 20, 1949. She was a competitive skier as a child, starting at the age of 6. She would later immigrate to Canada, where she worked as a ski instructor before starting a modeling career in the 1970s. She moved to New York in 1976, where she would meet Donald Trump, then an aspiring real estate mogul.
The two wed in 1977, and the couple had three children: Donald Jr. in 1977, Ivanka in 1981 and Eric in 1984. They went on to divorce in 1992. Donald then married Marla Maples, and they divorced in 1999. Six years later, he married Slovenia-born model Melania Knauss, the former first lady.
Trump became an icon in her own right, dripping with ’80s style and elegance, complete with accent and her signature beehive hairdo. She would eventually appear in the 1996 hit film “The First Wives Club” with the now-famous line, “Ladies, you have to be strong and independent, and remember, don’t get mad, get everything.”
The Trumps became partners in love and business. She managed one of his Atlantic City casinos and helped make Trump Tower an image of ’80s success (or excess, to some).
She overruled the architects to get a 60-foot waterfall installed in Trump Tower’s atrium, and she went to an Italian quarry to pick out the rosy-beige Breccia Pernice marble that famously lines its floors and walls, according to a biography of Donald Trump by Wayne Barrett.
Barbara Res, a former Trump Organization executive who was in charge of the skyscraper’s construction, recalled Ivana helping the decorator and taking a strong interest in such details as the doormen’s uniforms. “She did all that to impress Donald, to win his approval,” Res told AP. “She was traveling back and forth all the time, and leaving her kids. She had a tremendous work ethic.”
The two were fixtures of New York’s see-and-be-seen scene before their equally public, and messy, 1992 divorce. Donald Trump had met his next wife, Marla Maples.
During the split, Ivana Trump accused him of rape in a sworn statement in the early 1990s. She later said she didn’t mean it literally, but rather that she felt violated.
Trump was married four times, most recently to Italian actor Rossano Rubicondi. The two divorced in 2009 after a year of marriage but continued to see each other off and on until 2019, when she told the New York Post the relationship had run its course. He died last year of cancer at 49.
Donald Trump would say at times that he regretted having Ivana join him in business and blamed it for the unraveling of their marriage.
“I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing,” he told ABC News in the early ’90s. “If you’re in business for yourself, I really think it’s a bad idea to put your wife working for you,” he said, complaining that when she turned into a businessperson, “a softness disappeared.”
Nevertheless, Ivana ultimately remained friendly with her ex-husband, whom she famously called “The Donald.” She enthusiastically backed his 2016 White House run, saying he would “make big changes” in the United States, and told the New York Post that she was giving him suggestions on his campaign.
“We speak before and after the appearances and he asks me what I thought,” she said. She said she advised him to “be more calm.”
“But Donald cannot be calm,” she added. “He’s very outspoken. He just says it as it is.”
However supportive, she occasionally ruffled feathers.
In 2017, while promoting a book, she told “Good Morning America” that she spoke with the then-president about every two weeks and had his direct White House number, but didn’t want to call too frequently “because Melania is there and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that because I’m basically first Trump wife, OK?” she said with a laugh. “I’m first lady, OK?”
Melania Trump’s spokesperson at the time responded, saying there was “clearly no substance to this statement from an ex, this is unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise.”
Ivana Trump had continued her business ventures in recent years, promoting an Italian weight-loss diet plan in 2018.
Her death came during a fraught week for the Trump family. Two of her children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, and the former president are due to appear in coming days for questioning in the New York attorney general’s civil investigation into the family’s business practices.

OPINION – While I don’t usually engage in ‘royals watching,’ or commenting on them, the fact that newly installed King Charles banned his disgraced brother Prince Andrew and wayward son Prince Harry from wearing their military uniforms at the Queens’ funeral caught my attention.
Apparently, this also caught the attention of a lot of people on the internet.
According to one military expert: “This decision will have been taken at the highest level,” meaning Charles himself. “There is no other way of looking at it but as a firm put down.”
The King’s decision means that both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew will be the only adult Royals in civilian morning suits for the huge ceremony, at Westminster Abbey, on Monday, September 19.
Some Harry fans were aghast that Charles would deny his son the opportunity to wear his uniform to his grandmother’s funeral after his well-documented 10-year army career, and especially considering the queen’s pride at her grandson’s service.
The Telegraph’s associate editor Camilla Tominey, called it a “petty” move.
The queen’s pride was evident in a photo taken during the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, in 2006 where the queen is seen beaming at Harry.
— Guy Faulconbridge (@GuyReuters) May 26, 2022
Unlike other uniform-wearing, bemedaled Royals, Harry actually saw active service during his two tours of Afghanistan from 2007 to 2008 and from 2012 and 2013 – something I always respected.
Less controversial was Charles banning Andrew from wearing his uniform, even though he also saw active service, flying helicopters in the 1982 Falklands war.
Andrew’s close ties to convicted billionaire sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein has made him radioactive among the Royal family, and the public at large.
Even though the Queen stripped them both of their military titles, Harry’s situation is different.
Harry had to give up his appointments when he voluntarily stepped away from his royal duties and moved to California with his whiny, woke, attention-seeking, ex-Hollywood wife, Meghan Markle.
While not as vile as Andrew’s actions, their constant attention-grabbing at the royal family’s expense has made Harry a bit of a royal pariah as well.
And rightfully so.
Harry is expected to soon publish his autobiography, and many worry that Harry will use the memoir to air more grievances against his family and father and his stepmother, Camilla, the Queen consort.
Harry’s behavior has been horrendous, and his wife’s, even worse.
Still, some argue that Harry is being treated unfairly, especially since Charles granted Andrew an exception to wear his Royal Navy dress uniform for a single event related to the funeral, a final vigil at Westminster Hall.
Andrew was reportedly given this one exception because he was the Queen’s son, and this small vigil is for the queen’s children only – Harry isn’t included.
So, while I may have preferred no exception be made to his uniform ban, there is some logic to that.
Do I think Charles was right to ban Harry and Andrew from wearing their uniforms for the funeral?
One is a worm, the other a weasel. Guess which is which.
Andrew disgraced himself and his family, especially his mother, through his connection to Epstein.
And Harry brought untold anguish to his grandmother, the queen, with his incessant whining and publicity seeking nonsense at the family’s expense.
Both lost their right to wear their uniforms. Charles did the right thing.


Philippos Schleswig-Holstein Sonderburg-Glucksburg was born on a dining room table on the Greek island of Corfu on June 10, 1921, the fifth child and only son of Prince Andrew of Greece.
His parents went into exile when he was 18 months old. They sailed from Corfu with the little boy sleeping in a cot made hurriedly from orange boxes.
Philip had British and German blood through his mother, a great grand-daughter of Queen Victoria. She was born Princess Alice of Battenberg and became a nun after drifting apart from her husband, who died virtually penniless in 1944.
He was educated at Gordonstoun and became a naturalised British citizen, looking and sounding every bit the English gentleman.
Prince Philip married Queen Elizabeth on 20 November 1947.
The Queen has shared one of her favourite photographs of herself with her husband of 73 years, the Duke of Edinburgh, on the eve of his funeral.
The Queen said: “He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years”
Today, the funeral of Prince Philip, The duke of Edinburgh will be a “Ceremonial Royal Funeral” the same as that of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
The Order of Service, released by Buckingham Palace, says the Dean of Windsor will pay tribute to Prince Philip’s “kindness, humour and humanity” and the “many ways in which his long life has been a blessing to us”. “We have been inspired by his unwavering loyalty to our Queen, by his service to the nation and the Commonwealth, by his courage, fortitude and faith,” he will say during his bidding.
Saint Peter’s School as a British School, offered its condolences for the passing of HRH Prince Philip.
Also, the British Society of Valparaiso, of which we are pleased to say we are part of, published a release expressing how sad we all are about the Duke’s death.
As part of our tribute, we would like to share a video from the Royal Navy. “His genuine empathy, affection and engagement with the Royal Navy resonated with us all.”
The Duke of Edinburgh had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy from joining at Dartmouth in 1939 where he won the prize for best cadet, then swiftly rising through the ranks to serve as First Lieutenant during the Second World War.
Watch First Sea Lord Admiral Tony Radakin pay tribute to His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.
Today we say goodbye to HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, Rest in Peace.

Look, somebody please watch over Carl Palmer. During this tragic 2016 (for all too many reasons), Palmer has lost both of his former Emerson, Lake and Palmer bandmates. Keyboard wizard Keith Emerson passed away March 16, and now Palmer has had to say goodbye to bassist and vocalist extraordinaire Greg Lake on December 7th.
Lake was a remarkable talent, first identified by Robert Fripp for King Crimson, where he stood out on In the Court of the Crimson King. After singing on Crimson’s second album, he left to become one of the three pillars of ELP. He played guitar in addition to his bass and vocal duties. Those Emerson, Lake and Palmer albums were legendary, their concert performances even more so. Think Pictures at an Exhibition, “Nutrocker,” or the many brilliant original compositions they performed such as those on Tarkus, Trilogy and Works Volume 1.
After the band split up in 1979, Lake joined Asia briefly. ELP would reunite in the ’90s, finally disbanding some dozen years later. Lake also made a mark with several fine solo albums; he is most remembered for “I Believe in Father Christmas,” which will sound all the more sentimental this season.
