I love Kim Richey. Freaking love her. Love her engaging personality, her witty demeanor, her talent as a songwriter and that voice, oh that voice. Few things sooth my ears and soul like the sound of Richey’s voice. It brings a peace to me like the sound of listening to my two little boys breath as they sleep. Her ability to capture a moment in time and tell an epic tale in three and a half minutes is second to none. For all those reasons, I am incredibly happy that she is back with her latest offering (the first in many years mind you), Chinese Boxes (Vanguard).
This past Sunday, Kim came down to the studio from Nashville armed with her guitar, wit and voice and I sat across the console from her with a shit-eating grin on my face that I believe still hasn’t been wiped off. If you would like to check out her performance, go here and click on her link. You will not be disappointed.
While you are there, be sure to give a listen to Adam Hood’s set from the same Reg’s Coffee House program. Adam is one of my favorite Alabama artists, hailing from Auburn/Opelika, and his music makes me want to pull out my shit-kickers, pack a fat cat in my lip and suck down ice cold Buds while I shoot pool with my runnin’ buddies. He is a honky tonker’s honkey tonker and a damn good cat to boot. His debut CD, Different Groove was recently released on Pete Anderson’s Little Dog Records and Anderson even produced it. If you want to hear the sound of the road, and the roadhouse for that matter, give it a listen.
Just when we thought it’s finally over, the Donald proves us wrong, again. The Apprentice will be back for another season, this time with celebrities competing for charity. The show was just about to be canceled after last season low ratings, but no one like Donald Trump knows how to rise back after a hard fall. And since you can’t mention the Trump without mentioning the O’Donnell, Donald used his sharp marketing skills to invite his sworn enemy/The one who keeps him in the headlines Rosie to be a part of the show. So far according to Reuters, O’Donnell’s spokeswoman immediately dismissed the idea. To that I can only say Oy Vey.
Jerry Seinfeld definitely crave the spotlights again, which is great because I just can’t take any more of all those boring comedians wannabees like Bill Maher, David Spade, Sarah Silverman and such.
Seinfeld will guest star in the season opener of NBC’s wonderful 30 Rock on October 4. “I think it’s going to be so refreshing for me to be playing myself in a show that has nothing to do with neurotic, dysfunctional New York characters.” Said Jerry in a statement. According to Yahoo TV, Tina Fey, creator, executive producer and star was very exited about Seinfeld appearance and said: “Finally, my parents have an excuse to watch the show.”
Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham aka the LA transplant that’s done the most to project a 180 image of herself (blond hair, shiny face, and flashing a 24-7 non-English bed of white, perfectly straightened teeth) is starring in her own made-for-NBC special tonight airing tonight at 8 PM.
The special, “Victoria Beckham: Coming To America” features the former Spice Girl’s move from Europe to LA and all the subsequent adapting that she has to endure. Like having to find a McMansion suitable enough for herself, getting her stylist to gloss her lips pre-Driver’s License photo shoot, and working overtime to convince us all that’s she really just a “low-key mum and a lot more boring than most.” The latter is credible, the former, hardly. After all, rumor has it if the special does well (and we’re talking most likely as high in the ratings as the “Harry & Andrew Interview W/ Matt Lauer”), Posh will start doing more regular work for the network.
Well, duh. Like we didn’t know there was some sort of promotional angle to tonight’s special… Anyways, the trailer seen here is a funny one. What happens when the queen of mean (Perez Hilton) meets his arch-rival celebrity whore? Paparazzi of course! What did you expect with Posh running off insulting the very namesake of her special? Sure, Eddie’s a dawg, but chopping off [his] dick and spitting in his food ain’t exactly very ladylike behaviour.
Now, that soccer is the most talked about sport in America, at least since the Beckhams has arrived, it’s easier for me to write about it. A couple of weeks back, I wrote a short post about the Copa America, the American soccer tournament, equivalent in a way to the UEFA EURO, the national team championship. The final of the Copa brought us a rivalry game. Argentina Vs. Brazil. Argentina played an amazing game all along the tournament and were definitely the best team around. The Brazilians on the other hand, played a sad version of the game. But they knew when to show up. It all changes for the Brazilian team, when they see the white and light blue Argentinian shirt in front of them, and yesterday’s final was no different. At the end after a very convincing game Brazil won the game 3-0. All that’s left for us the Argentina fans, is to congratulate Brazil, and wait for the next time. And regarding the sad game, well, I guess it’s OK, I mean, the San Antonio Spurs won a few NBA titles with a sad and boring game…
We’re all so relieved that Rebecca Romijn has moved on to greener pastures with Jerry O’Connell. Not to kick a man while he’s down, but O’Connell seems much better suited to the former model/actress.
I can’t get Harry Nilsson’s “Everybody’s Talking” out of my mind since my husband told me about the film Midnight Cowboy, the first X-rated film to ever win an Academy Award for Best Picture. Of course, the film, released in 1969, would be PG-13 by today’s standards, but still the adult themes are genuine, poignant, and well, very raw. Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voigt are at their best in this film as two friends trying to live above the poverty line in New York and barely scraping by on Voigt’s soliciting of himself. Which, speaking of prostitution, there is a performance by veteran actor John McGiver as a gay man Voigt comes into contact with that MUST be the inspiration for Seth McFarlane’s Stewie from “The Family Guy.” The facial expressions, mannerisms, voice, and face are pure, unadulterated Stewie.
How to promote an unpopular sport, step by step, by the Los Angeles Galaxy. You got to hand it to the Los Angeles Galaxy. They sure know how to rock the world, literally. So how do you do it?
Step 1: Location! Location! Location! Hollywood is the only place to bring the Beckhams to, money, spotlight, cellebrities. We’ll get to that later.
Step 2: Find your man. Find the most famous soccer player in the world, who is also good at what he does, meaning a real fighter on the pitch with natural talent and proven experience.
Step 3: Open your pockets.When Real Madrid bought David Beckham from Manchester United they paid $33 million Euro for him. It took them only six months to cover this expense. So when the Galaxy pay him $250 millions for five years, they know what they are doing.
Step Four: Cherchez La Femme. One of the most important steps of all. You can love or hate Victoria Beckham, but she is an icon. You must not ignore her and her every caprice. Actually, she is the one you have to talk to even before you talk to David Beckham himself. I mean, it’s quit obvious who call the shots right? So how do you do it? First you hook her up with the hottest and most paparazzi-stalked couple around, and if Brangelina are not around Tom and Katie Cruise will do just fine. Then you put her in the spotlight. But remember it has to be in the middle of the spotlight. You make an NBC Victoria Beckham- Coming to America special, you put her in the Morning show, The Tonight Show, The Whatever show, and she is happy. And if Victoria is happy, everybody is happy.
The Fifth and last step is the introduction: I have seen many soccer players being introduced to the public by their new clubs. But I have to admit, I have never seen something like what I saw at the Home Depot Center, home of the Los Angeles Galaxy. It was as if David Beckham was getting a lifetime achievement award for something he hasn’t really done yet. Amazing.
And even before King David even touched a soccer ball in America, marketing wise, he already does to soccer what his idol Michael Jordan (That’s why he is wearing the number 23, not because of the Jim Carrey movie…) did to Basketball. Now everyone in America knows what the rest of the world knows for years, Who is David Beckham.
One day later than usual, but here are the Movies Of The Week:
Captivity: A scary movie. A couple wakes up only to find out they are being held hostage in a cellar by a serial killer. The plot goes on and they learn about the events that led to their abduction.
Shortcut To Happiness: A writer sells his soul to the devil to become famous, but the he tries to renegotiate the terms in a supernatural trial. Alec Baldwin directed and stars this movie , together with Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Dan Akroid, Kim Cattrall and more.
My Best Friend: I’ve always liked French movies. I also like Daniel Auteuil, who plays an arrogant business man who finds out he has no real friends, and accepts his partner’s bet to prove he has a best friend. He meets a Parisian cab driver who shows him the way to make friends.
And now for the Peak Of The Week…. Oh… I think I forgot something… Oh yeah, the new Harry Potter movie is on. I tried once to watch one of them and fell asleep so i guess i’m not the person to recommend this movie.
Anyway, the peak of the week is from the movie Cashback
Aaron Sorkin, who is still possibly reeling from his fallout of a shell of a show called “Studio 60″ has something to look forward to. Besides hookers and all-night coke binges, that is. He will be teaming up with DreamWorks Pictures and Steven Spielberg to write three films for the production company. All politically charged in nature (we wouldn’t have it any other way), the first one. “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” deals with the ’60s and a trial of protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Spielberg is on board to direct.
Alec Baldwin is teaming up with Anthony Hopkins, Dan Akroyd, Sex & The City alum Kim Cattrall and everyone’s favorite bobble head w/boobs Jennifer Love Hewitt to star in “Shortcut To Happiness.” In previous iterations, the film’s title was “The Devil & Daniel Webster” with Love Hewitt playing of course, the devil (she dyed her hair fecal red just for the part) and Baldwin, assuming the role of the desperate writer willing to do anything, including bedding Love Hewitt (quelle sacrifice), to have a hit. As you can imagine he gets his wish, but Dan Akroyd must suffer greatly for Baldwin’s happiness. Sound contrived enough for you??
Tsk Tsk Alec. We understand Sir Anthony’s uncanny knack for making poor film choices and since JLH, Kim Cattrall, and Dan Akroyd currently don’t have careers to speak of outside of TBS and PAC, we’re trying to figure out how a man at the top of his professional game could sign on to do such a lame project.
As unbelievable as it may sound, Sarah Silverman is now filming a new season for her wannabe show The Sarah Silverman Program. I find it hard to understand why a channel like Comedy Central that bring us a masterpiece like South Parkcan also produce such a shitty show, but hey, everybody has to eat no? Or as the Stranger said in The Big Lebowski:”Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.“
Just wanted to treat all of us who miss the award-winning show with the first webisode of The Office. More of those webisodes can be found on the show’s official site.
The Cities of Springfield in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and Tennessee wanted to host The Simpsons Movie premiere on July 21, a week before the movie starts everywhere. But it was the tiny Springfield in Vermont, with a population of about 9,300. It is poetic justice in a way, when the one who is most likely to lose turns out to be the big winner. Like Homer…Kinda…
When one associates slapping with the workplace, there are certain professions that spring to mind. It’s not a gentlemens’ vocation, but surely broadcast journalism doesn’t fall under the career paths of those seeking use of violence over words. Then again Katie Couric isn’t your traditional journalist. If one is so kind as to include Couric in this category.
Regardless, reading in the past few days of her career downturn and all the ugly doings surrounding it, I can’t help but feel sympathy even when I learn about her method of releasing steam (slapping co-workers who say words she finds curiously reprehensible) and her inability to remain confident in the face of harsh criticism directed at CBS Nightly News plummeting ratings. And to top it off having to endure the flagrant wrath of former CBS anchorman/cowardly henchman Dan Rather (once CBS’ own black sheep) jump on the “Let’s Lynch Dumbing it Down, Tarting It Up Katie” wagon just makes me feel plan ‘ol something or other for poor Katie.
Alls she wanted was a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T and some promise she wouldn’t end up in an early grave co-anchoring Dateline and staring at Stone Phillips impeccably buoyant locks everyday pondering why her hair couldn’t withstand the same humidity. Can’t fault a girl for trying to avoid that destiny.
I’m all for stem cell research and making advances in medicine, but when I read this item in the BBC, I nearly projectile vomited by Kit-Kat all over my D-cups. Turns out scientists can create a mixture known as Celution which would combine both tummy fat and stem cells to grow breast tissue. I support this method being applied to women with mastectomies (as with the case studies going on Japan right now), but when I hear that, if licensed, it very well may rival silicone for those seeing bigger breasts, I can’t help but think that for the asking price (steep, to say the least), it’s going to be largely consumed by celebrities. So remind me why stem cell research is indirectly helping to fund yet another season of Dr 90210?
Lately, we hear more and more about Jerry Seinfeld. In April it was HBO’s The Comedian Award, Then last month we heard he is promoting his new animated movie Bee Movie, a project he has been working on for four years now and it’s his first big project since Seinfeld ended. due in theaters on November 2ND. And now OK Magazine has chosen his $32 million East Hampton, NY home, as the hottest celebrities summer house. it’s good to hear from Jerry again, after watching the show for so many years, it’s like hearing from an old friend.
Ilana Donna is back in a new video. What is the big deal about the iPhone? Was it really worth waiting in line for? Find out how both sexes feel the iPhone will change their lives in Amaldo.com vlogger Ilana Donna’s latest video.
Because we love Amy Winehouse at Amaldo.com, we’re disheartened to hear more bad news from London where she stormed out of a restaurant when friends confronted Amy after she ordered only vodka, champagne, and 7-Up. Unhappy with her friends’ concern/re: criticism of her choice in libation, Amy left the restaurant. The jazz-pop singer has been in the news lately after a much-publicizedcutting episode and for pulling out of concert engagements.
For more updates on Amy’s erratic behavior, click here.
A college student in LA inherited Paris Hilton’s old cell phone number in February and doesn’t mind that she receives calls from party-goers or strange men with foreign accents purring, “Baby girl how are you.” It’s all par for the course when you’ve inherited a socialite’s old phone number.
Shira Barlow had to switch phones and decided to switch to a 301 number after damaging her own phone in February. Shortly after on Paris’ birthday (she is an Aquarius-that she let us all know in her “Larry King” interview), Shira began receiving random calls from people wishing her, Happy Birthday. Most recently, she’s been the recipient of tons of phone calls related to Paris’ incarceration and subsequent release from jail.
So how did Shira react to the strange seductive man with the foreign accent? Calling it “more amusement than hassle,” she’s not complaining about the number. Nor does she have plans to switch numbers anytime soon. Why would you when literally have in your very hands a tell-all book just waiting to happen?
