Perspective | What attracts Big Screen actors towards the Small Screen; Money or Audience reach?
Now the Bollywood film industry has a new contender. It is none other than our Indian television industry which is booming to such an extent that Bollywood celebrities are keenly eyeing this medium as well. They are no more confined only to the 70 mm screen and a majority of them are making their presence felt on the small screen either as TV hosts for reality shows , as actors in serials and even making special appearances for their film promotions.
These big screen actors certainly grab eyeballs in films but what is it about the small screen that attracts them to it. There is no doubt that greater star value, small screen breaks, no hectic schedules and new audiences do wonders for big stars. In fact some have even made their debuts on the small screens as hosts or judges during the early days in their career. Today actors and film-maker’s involvement in television has doubled with their active participation on the new shows.
Looking back at how all this started, the first A-list Bollywood actor who entered the world of television in a big way was Amitabh Bachchan with the first season of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), and the trend followed with Aamir Khan in Satyamev Jayate, Madhuri Dixit in Jhalak Dikkhla Jaa 5, Salman Khan in Bigg Boss , Shah Rukh Khan in Kya Aap Paanchvi Class se Tez Hain?, Hrithik Roshan in Just Dance, Akshay Kumar in Khatron Ke Khiladi season four, Sanjay Dutt in Bigg Boss season five, Karan Johar in Coffee with Karan, Preity Zinta in GWR: Ab India Todega, Priyanka Chopra in Khatron Ke Khiladi season three amongst many others.
As these big stars augment TRPs for the channel, the money they are paid also grows exponentially. Today Salman Khan is the highest paid actor for television shows followed by Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan , Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt while Amitabh Bachchan has signed three seasons of KBC for Rs. 100 crores.
To understand what attracts our Bollywood celebrities towards small screens, is it the money factor or better audience connectivity and how well it has worked in the past, we interacted with actors and experts from the media industry to get their views on this. Adgully spoke to Kamya Punjabi, actress, Fazila Allana, SOL Productions Pvt. Ltd., Kunal Roy Kapur, actor, Saurabh Tewari, Nautanki Telefilms, Gaurav Gera, actor, Shashi and Sumeet Mittal, Founder Directors of ShashiSumeet Productions Pvt. Ltd. who shared their respective views.
Kamya is of the opinion that money and audience reach both go hand in hand since today the television industry is vast. “I don’t want to talk much about money but yes audience reach is there, the reason largely being that television today reaches out to masses and classes, ranging from urban to rural India. Hence if audiences cannot afford to watch a film, they would love to watch their favourite actor making a special appearance on their television sets through the shows. It’s the best medium to connect with audiences and that makes Bollywood stars want to be part of the small screens.”
Whereas Fazila says, “It works both ways as they get good money for the show they do and since they are already known celebs they easily reach out to their fans through small screens.”
Kunal sharing his input adds , “It’s a great exposure for us as it’s not just limited to few hours but to a whole season and moreover films last in theatres for just a week. So for connecting with their audience and reaching out to them television has been the best medium. Where money is concerned, yes I would say that the remuneration in small screens is great too.”
“Today loads of shows such as Big Boss, Khatron Ke Khiladi etc. with Bollywood actors that we see on television are adapted formats and the concept of Bollywood actors working in the television industry is fast picking up. This concept has worked well in Hollywood and to some extent is doing well in India too,” shares Saurabh Tewari.
Continuing further he said, “ Yes, definitely television proves to be the best medium to reach out to your fans and audiences but it is also a fact that television industry is not dependent on stars but on the contrary helps in creating stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Sushant Singh and others.”
Gaurav Gera avers, “It works out both ways as we get good money and it’s quick depending upon the number of shows we do . Audiences remember their actors better through television with the upcoming trend of seasons on various shows.”
The duo Shashi and Sumeet were very firm in their opinion on the subject of discussion. They said, “Without doubt, we would say it would be audience connect. TV connects the hearts of people across the length and breadth of this country in a sustained manner and this only grows by the day. Being on the small screen definitely augments the star power of big screen actors. The small screen, is not so 'small' anymore.”
So, coming to year 2013 we have Anil Kapoor doing his Indian TV debut '24'. Madhuri Dixit and Karan Johar judging dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa', we have Abhay Deol in Connected Hum Tum, Chitrangada Singh in Channel V’s Gumraah Season 3, Riteish Deshmukh too judging India’s Dancing Superstar and Mitun Chakraborty judging seasons of Dance India Dance and at present DID Supermoms. Also on the anvil are Salman Khan’s Big Boss and Amitabh Bachchan’s KBC.
Kamya added to say, “Yes the shows in the past have worked well and in future it will work well too and if the show doesn’t work well then it all depends upon the concept. Television is big enough today and that’s the reason actors use it for promoting their films.”
“Whether the actors reach out to audiences or not depends upon the audience and the concept and television is the best medium which gives them this opportunity,” said Fazila.
For Kunal television has proved out to be the best medium for connectivity as he has utilized this medium to promote his films.
“It all depends upon whether actors are doing fiction or non- fiction shows. Fiction shows are not based upon stars but more on content whereas non-fiction shows need celebs as well as a great concept. Yes, it has definitely worked out well for non-fiction shows,” added Saurabh.
Gaurav Gera seconds Saurabh Tewary’s view and says, “Yes, I agree that it has worked for talk shows, and reality shows and of course for promotions as well.”
Shashi and Sumeet said, “In non-fiction shows, the participation of big screen actors is a huge draw for the show and adds immensely to the TRPs. Their presence is a big driver for the show. The same holds true for Bollywood actors making guest appearances in fiction formats as well. These days it is a popular trend to have big stars making appearances on fiction shows to promote their films and this is only a validation of my earlier point on the audience connect that TV offers today. We had Amir Khan on one of the episodes of Diya Aur Bati Hum to promote Satyamev Jayate, where he spoke about honesty which made perfect sense to our story as it resonated with Sooraj who despite all odds stands by Sandhya, always.”
Taking into consideration the views expressed by our industry experts we can conclude that, for Bollywood actors foraying into the television industry two factors viz. money and audience reach go hand in hand but ultimately and most importantly their fate rests with the audience sitting before their television sets who have to accept their presence and help them to make it big on this small medium.

Dila Tarkan, one of the famous names of the high society, and Dağhan Doğruer got married in Greece. The wedding dress of socialite beautiful Dila Tarkan left its mark on social media. Ebru Şancı, a former model and wedding dressmaker, drew attention with her comments on the wedding dress.
Famous couple Dila Tarkan and her fiancee Dağhan Doğruer, who said ‘yes’ to happiness in Athens, Greece, got married. The first frames from the wedding of the year were shared on social media. Dila Tarkan’s wedding dress, where every detail was discussed, left its mark on social media.
BRIDE NOT LIKED
Dila Tarkan’s wedding dress divided social media into two. Some liked the wedding dress very much, while others did not like it at all. Ebru Şancı could not help herself in this regard.

Bruce Hollywood, a Colonel in the United State Air Force, was adopted by an American couple in 1960. Until his heart attack in 2005, he never thought much about his birth parents, but his near-death experience sparked a pang of regret that he had never pursued any information about his roots. After recovery, he made steps to change that. His adoptive mother had given Hollywood the name of his birth mother before her death and encouraged him to contact her. Hollywood’s search began at the American Embassy in Tokyo and, after no luck, he hired a private investigator, also to no avail.
A few months later, after he’d given up, Hollywood was sitting at a wine bar in Dulles airport and started swapping stories with another military man, Admiral Harry Harris--who told him he could help him find his birth mother. 10 days later, he was on the phone with her--a day before her birthday, giving her the gift she had always wished for, a reunion with her son. 10 days after that, Bruce Hollywood flew to Shizuoka, Japan to meet Nobue Ouchi, and see the restaurant and bar she ran—which she had named after him. They spent three years visiting each other frequently until her death. She learned some English. He learned some Japanese. She taught him about his heritage. And it changed his life.

Buck Angel is an entrepreneur and a speaker and educator about transgender issues, particularly issues related to trans healthcare. Now in his late 50s, he transitioned from female to male in his late 20s and has more recently became a controversial figure in certain corners of the trans community. He talked with Meghan about why he’s so controversial, what it’s been like to spend decades on masculinizing hormone therapy, and why he’s worried about the number of clinicians now prescribing such therapies to young people after minimal psychological counseling.
For the record: at one point in the interview Buck mistakenly referred to the biotech entrepreneur Martine Rothblatt as Martine Rathbaum. He also suggested that Rothblatt, who is the founder of the biotech company United Therapeutics, is among the billionaire class. As of March 2021, United Therapeutics was reportedly worth $7.1 billion. Rothblatt herself, according to Forbes, is worth $390 million.
Buck Angel is an entrepreneur and educator in the area of trans male healthcare and sexual wellness. He has also been a groundbreaking figure in the porn industry, which you can learn about on his website and also in a documentary about his life, Mr. Angel, which was released in 2013 and premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival.


TORONTO — Kelly Fraser, the Inuk singer-songwriter who aspired to bridge the world of mainstream pop with Indigenous music, was “an incredibly kind person” who shared her struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder in hopes it might help her fans, her family said on Monday.
Fraser died by suicide in Winnipeg on Dec. 24, her mother and six siblings confirmed in a statement provided to The Canadian Press. She was 26.
“Kelly suffered from PTSD for many years as a result of childhood traumas, racism and persistent cyber-bullying,” they said.
“She was actively seeking help and spoke openly about her personal challenges online and through her journey.”
Fraser, who was raised in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, began playing music at 11, but it was a 2013 cover of Rihanna’s “Diamonds” that was shared widely on YouTube, and helped build her name within the Indigenous music community.
Her sophomore album “Sedna” picked up an Indigenous music album nomination at the 2018 Juno Awards, and more recently she received a 2019 Indspire Award for her work representing the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people.
The singer was also an advocate for Indigenous rights and co-founded Nunavut Hitmakerz, a project that provided workshops in Inuktitut and free recording equipment to underfunded communities in the North.
She “gave so much of herself to help others,” her family said.
“She was fiercely open with her fans in the hopes that sharing her struggles might help them know they were not alone. Kelly fought so hard to be well. We know that she would want us all to continue to do our very best to take care of ourselves. Please respect our privacy at this time as no further details about the circumstances of her death will be provided.”
The family says memorials for Fraser are planned in both Winnipeg and Iqaluit with details to be provided at a later date.
They also encouraged anyone struggling in the North to contact the Kamatsiaqtut Helpline, which provides 24-hour anonymous and confidential telephone counselling about personal problems or crisis, at (867) 979-3333 or 1-800-265-3333, or the Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or by texting “TALK” to 686868.

Additionally, she appeared on Broadway in Bells Are Ringing, The Apple Tree, On the Town, The Prisoner of Second Avenue, Awake and Sing, and her one-woman musical The Madwoman of Central Park West, which she co-authored with Arthur Laurents. She garnered a Tony Award nomination for her highly-acclaimed performance in Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound.
Off-Broadway she earned a Drama Desk Nomination for her starring performance in James Lapine’s The Moment When… at Playwrights Horizons. She received unanimous praise from critics for her role as an eccentric crisis hotline operator in Nicky Silver’s off-Broadway comedy, The Food Chain, appeared with Fisher Stevens and Annabella Sciorra in the Naked Angels production of Shyster and starred in the Drama Desk-nominated revival of A Majority of One. Other Broadway credits include Wish You Were Here and First Impressions. Regionally she has been seen in Pleasures & Palaces and Rocket to the Moon as well as Arthur Laurents’ My Good Name directed by Daniel Sullivan.
She’s done concerts and narrations with symphony orchestras all over the world including Maestro Lukas Foss, Skitch Henderson and the NY Pops and a concert at Caramoor with her daughter, Amanda Green, conducted by Maestro Michael Barrett. She received rave reviews for her portrayal of Stella Deems in the concert performance of Stephen Sondheim’s Follies at Avery Fisher Hall, which is now available on DVD.
She’s directed Stand Up For New York, a Toyota Comedy Festival event benefiting New York Women in Film & TV and Straws in the Wind at The American Place Theater. In the summer of 2004, she directed a work by many contemporary playwrights that opened the new Provincetown Playhouse. She also wrote and co-produced a musical revue for President Clinton’s pre-inaugural festivities in Washington, D.C.
While Newman is best known for her work in the theatre, her impressive career doesn’t end at the footlights. Her television credits capture the history of the medium itself, ranging from Playhouse 90, in the days of live television theatre, and appearances on the legendary Ed Sullivan Show, to serving as the first woman to host The Johnny Carson Show. She has worked extensively in TV – starring opposite Alan Arkin in 100 Centre Street, Oz; Murder, She Wrote; thirtysomething and The Jury.
Her films include The Human Stain, It Had To Be You, For the Time Being, Fish in the Bathtub, A Price Above Rubies, The Beautician and the Beast, Only You, Mannequin, To Find a Man, Bye Bye Braverman, and Picnic.
Her life was dramatically altered in 1983 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Simon & Schuster published her candid, often funny, and highly-praised account of her triumph with the disease, Just in Time: Notes From My Life, which is also available as a deluxe paperback from Limelight Editions. Her lecture, The Gift of Laughter, based on her successful book, has received standing ovations all over the country.
Her own experience with breast cancer inspired her to raise awareness of women’s health issues and needs in the entertainment industry, and in 1996 she launched The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative of The Actor’s Fund of America with a star-studded benefit concert, Nothing Like A Dame. Billed as “the thinking woman’s vaudeville,” Nothing Like A Dame has featured a galaxy of Broadway luminaries throughout its successful twelve-year history, from Bernadette Peters and Bebe Neuwirth to Uta Hagen and Chita Rivera. Since 1996, The Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative has disbursed millions of dollars to women in need. The group also sponsors health fairs and runs support groups.
Phyllis Newman lives in New York, and is currently writing a musical. She was married to the late Adolph Green, the legendary lyricist/screenwriter/composer, for 42 years. They have two children, Adam and Amanda.


The last time Conor McGregor was officially in a fight in an octagon was a year yesterday when he fought Eddie Alvarez but on Friday night he was in an unofficial ‘fight’ with a referee and the Notorious has now tweeted, before deleting the tweet.
Just over a year ago McGregor made history by becoming the first dual weight UFC champion, holding two belts at two weights at the same time, when he stopped Alvarez in a brilliant display.

Since then the Irishman was on hiatus as he had his first child and then fought Floyd Mayweather in one of boxing’s biggest events of the year. Now people are awaiting his return to MMA but they weren’t expecting it on Friday.
He was at Bellator 187 to see his teammate and friend Charlie Ward compete in Dublin. When Ward was victorious the UFC champ rushed into the ring to congratulate him when he was met by the ref who McGregor shoved.
The 29 year old was criticised for his behaviour in Ireland, and was also seen to slap a member of Bellator staff as he climbed the cage. On Monday morning he took to social media and tweeted about the incident but soon deleted his post:
And there was some negative reaction to McGregor’s actions:


James Fenimore Cooper born on this day!

Daniel Burnham One of the stars of “The Devil in the White City” born on this day.
Marilyn Miller,dancer born on this day. Isn’t she beautiful. I include these pix on this site from time to time just to show my love for dance(because I cannot dance). I saw her birth date and of course her name. She is little know but looks like she was a rising star but died young.


4/29: Freedomland. I vaguely remember the previews for this movie and that it looked interesting but never really heard anything more about it. From 2006, it’s never too late to check out a movie with Julianne Moore in it.
4/30: Diana, a movie from last year about Princess Di. Being an American male, I never really followed the royal family, and let’s all be honest right now and admit that there is no way on Earth Princess Diana ever – EVER – looked as good as Naomi Watts. That would be like asking George Clooney to play Steve Buscemi in a movie about Buscemi’s life. I’ll check Diana out because of Naomi Watts and . . . nope, that’s the only reason.

THE VIOLET HOUR
South Shore Opera Company of Chicago
Joelle Lamarre's play THE VIOLET HOUR explores the career of internationally acclaimed soprano Leontyne Price and her rise to prominence during the 50’s and 60’s, despite the segregation and discrimination prevalent in America. Tracing Price’s career from her hometown of Laurel, Mississippi, to her final performance at New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1985, Lamarre vividly portrays the living legend, singing repertoire including gospel hymns, Gershwin, Verdi and Barber.
Photos by Spencer Bibbs
“...Lamarre shone brightly. Her renditions of Gershwin’s “Summertime” and “O patria mia” from Verdi’s Aïda... captured the magic of Price’s glorious interpretations. ”

He will forever be known as Tony Soprano, but to many Hollywood stars, James Gandolfini was more than the complicated mobster he played on HBO’s long-running hit series. He was a friend, colleague and inspiration. Following the shocking news of his death on Wednesday at the age of 51, celebs took to social media to share their thoughts on his untimely passing.
“I am shocked and devastated by Jim’s passing. He was a man of tremendous depth and sensitivity, with a kindness and generosity beyond words. I consider myself very lucky to have spent 10 years as his close
colleague. My heart goes out to his family. As those of us in his pretend one hold on to the memories of our intense and beautiful time together. The love between Tony and Carmela was one of the greatest I’ve ever known.” –Edie Falco, who played Carmela Soprano in “The Sopranos

NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers will no longer make his regular Tuesday appearances on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, at least through the remainder of the season.
The decision comes in the wake of Rodgers’ controversial statements including an unfounded suggestion linking talk show host Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein and Rodgers’ promotion of conspiracy theories, CNN Business reported.

Related: Aaron Rodgers Went on a Darkness Retreat to Decide His Fate with the NFL
Rodgers, who host McAfee paid seven figures to appear on the program, elicited backlash last week when he falsely accused Jimmy Kimmel of having ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. New court documents recently unsealed in the case name individuals previously connected to Epstein.
“Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that; he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his topknot and his lies about being vaccinated,” Kimmel said during his opening monologue on Monday.
Kimmel called for Rodgers to apologize, though he was skeptical he would, and the injured New York Jets player did not, per CNN. In his next appearance on Pat McAfee, Rodgers instead went on a conspiratorial rant replete with medical misinformation and attacks on the news media and ESPN executive Mike Foss, who issued an apology for Rodgers’ earlier comments.
For most of the segment, Rodgers railed against Covid-19 vaccines — falsely claiming they’ve caused widespread injuries and death — and promoted the unproven coronavirus treatment ivermectin, The Daily Beast reported.
“I don’t understand [Foss’s] comment, because he didn’t help out either,” Rodgers said on Tuesday, per the outlet. “I’m going to quote Mike. He said, ‘Aaron made a dumb and factually incorrect joke about Jimmy Kimmel, it should never have happened, we realized that in a moment.’ Mike, you are not helping.”

McAfee acknowledged the situation on Wednesday. “Some of [Rodgers’] thoughts and opinions do piss off a lot of people,” McAfee told CNN. “And I’m pumped that is no longer going to be every single Wednesday of my life — which it has been for the last few weeks.”
But he also said he wasn’t opposed to having Rodgers back on the program in the future.


Blogger, screenwriter and producer Stephen Follows is doing a tremendous work with different topics around the film industry, focusing on the data and statistics which reveal what’s going on.
« Last week, Oscar-nominated actress Maggie Gyllenhaal was widely quoted as saying that (by Hollywood standards) she is already “too old” to play the on-screen love interest of a 55-year-old man in romantic movies. She’s 37. Following this, I have been asked by a few regular readers to crunch the numbers and look at whether there has historically been an age gap between male and female actors in romantic films. » Stephen Follows

Goodbye Jack Bruce
Last Saturday, October 25th, was a sad day indeed as word spread through the music world of the passing of Jack Bruce, a musician of great influence and who many considered to be one of, if not the, best bassists of all time. Born in Scotland on May 14th, 1943, his musical parents imparted in him both a fascination with jazz and a determination to take on numerous instruments. His teens saw him in a number of bands, win a scholarship to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, and tour Europe before settling in England. He quickly dove into London’s jazz and blues scene where he first joined Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated in 1962 before co-founding the Graham Bond Organisation in 1963 (both of which featured drummer Ginger Baker). He exited the group two years later which was followed by a brief spell with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers (alongside Eric Clapton on guitar) before joining up with the outfit Manfred Mann, whose pop-centered approach to R&B failed to captivate the rising bassist for long. In the middle of 1966 Bruce was invited by Baker and Clapton to complete a promising power trio, a supergroup that would feature “the cream” of England’s musical crop. Thus Cream was brought into existence in July of that year. The trio quickly rose through the ranks to become the top band in the country, in part thanks to Bruce’s powerful vocals, instrumental prowess, and lyrical genius. Cream revolutionized rock & roll and pushed the bounds of blues, psychedelic, and hard rock like no band that had come before it. In spite of all this success and influence, the group crumbled and broke up in late 1968.
The split opened the door for Bruce to create the music that he truly wanted to, which was to include elements of rock, world music, R&B, blues, classic music, and, above all else, jazz. It was in 1969, with Songs for a Tailor, that the composer and renowned bassist began what would become a storied solo career which would see nearly twenty albums released over the next forty-five years. Those four and a half decades also brought about numerous opportunities for collaborative efforts as Bruce both teamed with and was sought out by some of the biggest names in music. The musicians with whom he worked with include Tony Williams, Frank Zappa, Gary Moore, Ringo Star, Rory Gallagher, John McLaughlin, Leslie West, Charlie Watts, Ian Stewart, Robin Trower, Cozy Powell, Peter Frampton, Steve Cropper, Lou Reed, Bernie Worrell, Vernon Reid, Joe Bonamassa, and John Medeski. He would also work with his former bandmates Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker time and time again, which included the first Cream performance in twenty-five years at the legendary trio’s 1993 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and a number of full-fledged and highly successful reunion concerts in 2005. Jack Bruce’s contributions to the development of music over the decades have been recognized a number of times. In addition to his Rock Hall induction, the Recording Academy presented the bassist with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006 and he has been bestowed with the Bass Player International Lifetime Achievement Award a number of times at the NAMM Show. Having laid the foundation for the bass guitar’s place in rock music, Jack Bruce has and will continue to influence countless generations of musicians. His passing has left a hole in the world of music that can never quite be filled. Thank you Jack Bruce for all that you did and the music that you lovingly created. Rest in peace.

Last Friday, the 21st of October, Taylor Swift released her tenth (and arguably one of her best) studio albums – Midnights.
We Swifties truly hit the potluck because she gave us 20 new tracks for us to soak in… and freak out over. Today’s post is a review of all the songs and a ranking at the end. The ranking, mind you, was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, and that’s saying something because none of the songs was bad.
But I love the whole new electro-pop vibe and the incredible lyricism in her songs – they really resonate with you – and that’s one of the main reasons I simply adore her music. I’ll be doing only the 13 main tracks and my favourites off of the 3 am tracklist today!Read More »

The actor, 51, was injured on Sunday while shovelling snow close to Reno, Nevada, and was flown to a local hospital, according to a statement from Renner’s agent, which was later confirmed by the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday evening.
According to his representative, Jeremy Renner underwent surgery on Monday and was in intensive care.
The actor’s representative said on Monday that Renner had undergone surgery due to “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic damage.”
Around 9 a.m. local time (12 p.m. ET) on Sunday, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office reported that it had responded to a report of a traumatic injury on Mount Rose Highway in Reno, Nevada.
Renner was reportedly the only victim of injury.
The event is being investigated, according to the office’s Major Accident Investigative Committee.
It was unclear precisely where he had been harmed. Nevada is where Renner owns a residence, according to The Associated Press.
He shared a picture of a snowcat vehicle, which is utilized in icy circumstances, on Instagram in 2015. It was unclear right away if the car was a part of the incident on Sunday.
Renner is well-known for his appearance in the Marvel Avengers as Hawkeye. Additionally, he has received two Oscar nominations for his roles in “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.”
According to Renner’s representative, his family wished to thank all of his medical professionals, including his physicians, nurses, and emergency personnel, on Monday.

Nigerian singer, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has revealed that he didn’t know his family was wealthy until he was 13 years old.
He disclosed this while appearing as a guest on the latest episode of Drink Champs podcast co-hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.
Davido said, “As much money that I have been seeing, all these rich this, rich that. My dad is very disciplined.
“I ain’t know we had money till I was 13. My dad was a billionaire driving a Honda Accord. Let me tell you how I knew he was lit. So, there was an explosion and a lot of houses got destroyed including our first house that we have been since when I was a kid. When that happened, we had to leave that day because the house got so f***ed up.
“So, my mum was like, David, we are leaving, we are going to the new house. I was like, ahnn! New house? He [my dad] has been building the house in another part of the town since but I didn’t even know.
“We started driving, when he got there, it was mad. Big crib. He still stays there now. I wad like, mummy, what’s going on? That was when I started realising that my dad was rich.”


At the beginning of 1990-s in clubs and on dance floors all over the world a new hit made people feel a rush of energy in their bodies. The song was recognized immediately at the very first accords of it. That masterpiece’s name is LondonBeat – “I’ve been Thinking About You”. Still very little people know that the author of the hit single is Jimmy Chambers, a musician of a Carribean origin.
Chambers was born in Trinidad Island. While growing up he was dreaming of making a career in music industry. Soon he realized that his dream may only come true in London, where he eventually moved. In early 1980-s Chambers was a frontman of his self-made music band DaDa.
A couple of years after DaDa disbanded the musician started cooperating with one of best British male performers of all times Paul Young. The two singers collaborated together on a common album and toured around the globe in 1985. It happened two years before Chambers got acquainted with Jimmy Helmes, George Chandler and William Henshall. The four talented people full of inspiration and passion for music started working together on a new dance project. Although members of the group changed several times since 1987, most successful and famous project is still invited to concert venues of European and Asian countries.
Jimmy Chambers has however recently been involved in other projects. The musician worked with such stars as Tina Turner and others. For the last couple of years he has been concerned about the situation in Trinidad, the native place of Jimmy. He composed a couple of songs for the world-known Carnival of the Isle. Chamber’s creativity and talent are also directed to the cultural life of his homeland.
Although the musician is also continues touring around the world with the group that made a revolution in dance music in 1991. According to official website London Beat booking a show is only possible if the rider of the group is fully complied. In the rider all the aspects are precisely clarified ranging from transfer and accommodation to all the details of the technical rider. The rider proves the fact that the artists remain real stars of modern music industry. However it doesn’t contain any extravagances like in riders of other modern celebrities. The musicians are not too much picky about food and drinks. Standard appetizers are mentioned, namely cheese platter, fruit platter, fish platter, bread and champagne. Only mineral water is specified.
As far as other aspects of the rider are concerned a lot attention is paid to the technical aspects. The inviting company must ensure comfortable performance conditions as well as quality sound. As long as the group is invited not only to festivals at large concert venues but also to private parties, technical rider specifies the parameters of the venue.
Although since the release of the last hit “Where Are You?” the group hasn’t created any more albums still they have a heavy touring schedule. For booking a show one may make a call directly to the tour manager. The phones and other information are given on the site. Contact groups can as well be addressed to.

Frida Kahlo’s impact on the 21st century’s artistic realm is undeniable. It is apparent in the multiple decades of artists who have followed Kahlo’s evocative dive into historic Mexican imagery, such as renowned artist and cultural commentator, Enrique Chagoya. While outside of the fine arts in fashion, Frida’s creative vision reverberates in the archives of any number of seasons that boast the weight of her influence in designers’ bold use of colour, Mexican textile tradition, and statement design. Most recently, Kahlo’s spirit has floated into designer Peter Pilotto’s robust SS13 ready-to-wear collection, the brightly-coloured, flower crowned heels of Charlotte Olympia‘s Cruise collection; and the distinct hair and makeup seen on the runway at Vivienne Westwood‘s SS13 show at London Fashion Week.
Kahlo’s name hangs thick in the air. From last November’s Vogue Mexico cover featuring Hungarian-born American photographer Nickolas Muray’s portrait of the artist from 1939 to the ongoing exhibit Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The Dresses of Frida Kahlo at the Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan (which prompted the Vogue Mexico’s cover) to Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario’s (AGO) ode to the life and work Kahlo shared with husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera, Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting, it would seem that 64 years after her death, the enigma that was Frida Kahlo continues to beg examination.
With the latter exhibit showcasing more than 80 works (paper and paintings) by Kahlo and Rivera, one quarter of Kahlo’s entire body of work and a wide range of Rivera’s painting styles including his famed murals hang alongside photos documenting the couple’s story, taken by celebrated friends such as the aforementioned Murray. The exhibit is rare opportunity for Kahlo enthusiasts to explore the passion and politics that charged her vision as an artist, and the relationship that cultivated both essentials in her life.
For Montreal-based jewelry designer Julia Vallelunga of the La Raffinerie accessory label, Kahlo has been an inspiration both as a woman and an artist. “Frida Kahlo had a very unique style, especially for the period she lived in. She had a daring style and didn’t care what people thought,” she says. The impact Kahlo’s personal style has had on Vallelunga’s vision is evident in the vibrancy of her handcrafted jewelry, as it is in the exotic whimsy of her designs. For the designer, Kahlo’s iconic display of colour and flowers strewn over her person are embedded in her creative psyche, particularly the image of the artist captured in her self-portrait, “The Frame,” which Vallelunga counts as a favourite. “Her flower crown inspired me,” she shares, as one can plainly see from the designer’s body of work, including her latest SS13 collection.
The significance of Kahlo is one that is ever expanding, a fact that is being examined under the scope of transformative political and cultural values in the AGO’s ongoing exhibit; an exhibit that also effortless presents what is impossible to hide: the late artist’s legacy as a style influencer and great challenger of conventional views of feminine beauty.
Ending January 20th (with extended hours), fans of Kahlo won’t want to miss the exhibit’s last days, or the opportunity to learn more about the relationship that inspired some of the artist’s greatest passions and the man with whom she shared her artistic, political, and life vision.

Originally written for The Occidental.
Home Fries, a delightfully off-kilter romantic comedy, opens Thanksgiving weekend. See what some of the stars have to say about the film and themselves…
Drew Barrymore, who takes on the lead role of Sally in Home Fries, is remembered for everything from her role in E.T. to her turbulent adolescence. Barrymore said she is drawn to people like Sally in real life, because “she’s so optimistic, and I just love that. It’s so refreshing…” But playing a character who is eight months pregnant wasn’t easy. Not only did she have to constantly remember to use the right body language (“The thing I did every day and never forgot to do was to constantly stick my butt out and walk with my legs apart.”) but she also had to wear a particularly uncomfortable strap-on belly. Still, she said she always remembered, “when you’re really pregnant, you don’t get to take that off at night. As uncomfortable as it was, I knew I had it good.”
In one of those odd cases of art meeting life, Barrymore became romantically involved with Luke Wilson, who plays her romantic interest in Home Fries, shortly before the film went into production. When asked about working with her boyfriend, she said, “it was great! Although, on the set we’re total professionals. I don’t even think you’d know we were boyfriend-girlfriend. Because we’re there to do a job, we’re basically employees, and happy to be doing … You want to do a good job, and that’s the first priority, not your relationship.”
Barrymore said she likes acting in part because it gives her a break from her constant awareness of the environment and others. “You get to go into a film and wear leather and murder people, it’s really interesting, it’s such a break from the norm. It’s fun that I get to go and express myself in those different ways, which I think gives me all the more energy to take those breaks… I feel like my greatest days or the days when I’m happiest in life is when I’m doing philanthropic work.”
With Telling Lies in America and Bottle Rocket under his belt, Luke Wilson plays the hero of Home Fries, Dorian Montier. He sums his character up easily, “I definitely think of Dorian as one of those characters that’s kind of a reactor, he’s not exactly driving the action, he’s an ordinary guy that gets put in these extraordinary circumstances.”
When asked about his relationship with Drew Barrymore, he said their relationship wasn’t a problem on the set: “as long as you’re getting along, it’s nice to work with someone you know well.”
One particularly memorable scene in the film includes Dorian dressed up in the mascot of the burger joint he works at — a giant robot named “Buzz.” Wilson said, “putting on the Buzz Burgermatic (costume) was one of those things where I read it in the script, and I thought,


Time flies too fast, and before you know it, it’s already been a decade since your favorite jam was released. Here are some of the smash hit songs of the late 2000s that are turning 10 years old next year. BEWARE: This playlist will make you feel just a bit ~ancient~ and delightfully nostalgic.
Umbrella by Rihanna
Undeniably the biggest release of 2007, Rihanna’s “Umbrella” peaked at #2 in the 2007 Billboard Year-End Hot Singles chart, trailing just behind Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”, which came out in 2006. Ri-ri’s LSS-inducing tune spawned memorable covers from pop artists like Mandy Moore, All Time Low, and Marié Digby among others.
Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fergie
The fourth single from Fergie’s 2006 album “The Dutchess” is a feel-sy acoustic-pop tune with hints of classical beats which got big girls crying anyway. By the end of 2007, it landed on the Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart as #4.
Don’t Matter by Akon
R&B singer Akon was everywhere in 2007, but if there’s one song that we’ll always remember him for, it’s the track “Don’t Matter”, in which he marries reggae and R&B, incorporating elements from rapper R. Kelly’s “Ignition” and reggae legend Bob Marley’s “Zimbabwe” to the song.
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
The decade’s favorite Canadian punk princess Avril Lavigne garnered much critical acclaim for “Girlfriend”, with Rolling Stone listing it as one of the year’s best songs of the year. She also snagged the 2008 Kids Choice Award for the song, beating Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, Akon’s “Don’t Matter”, and Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls”.
Crank That (Soulja Boy) by Soulja Boy Tell’em
The single that rocketed American rapper Soulja Boy Tell’em to fame, “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” isn’t just a smash hit – it also began a popular dance trend in the late 2000s, which The Wall Street Journal described as dancers bouncing back on their heels, rippling their hands, cranking their wrists like motorcyclists, then lunging into a Superman pose.
Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston
This single from reggae-influenced singer Sean Kingston is rather controversial – critics slammed it for tackling the theme of suicide, as the song is about a boy who feels “suicidal” after failing to woo the beautiful girl he likes. The word was later replaced with “in denial”.
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat
American acoustic-pop songstress Colbie Caillat debuted with the uber cozy single “Bubbly”. To date, it is her only song that made it to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
No One by Alicia Keys
Arguably one of Alicia Keys’ biggest hits ever, “No One” was released in September of 2007. Five months later, it earned her two Grammys- Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.
Teardrops On My Guitar by Taylor Swift
One of the most memorable heartbreak anthems of the late 2000s, “Teardrops On My Guitar” remains to be one of Taylor Swift’s most loved songs. The single is certified triple platinum, and helped T-Swift debut in the Billboard charts.
Home by Daughtry
After a disappointing elimination from the reality singing competition show American Idol, Chris Daughtry went on to pursue a career in music by forming the band Daughtry. One of their most well-acclaimed songs in their self-titled debut album is the Grammy-nominated “Home”, which landed on the #25 spot in the Billboard’s 2007 Year-End chart. (Andy Flores)


The man the music is dead. But Michael Jackson’s legacy lives on. I started following Michael and his music when I was very young. It was when I saw a young boy of my age sing on the TV show. Perhaps the Andy Williams Show of the Ed Sullivan Show. I used to watch it a lot as I love music and I love to sing. The host introduced a young group of 5 African American boys whose Motown music was taking the world by storm. The talent of one boy in particular was mentioned – a 11 year old Michael Jackon. He was singing with his brothers – the then Jackson Five. Their music thrilled me then and I thought wow this boy can dance and sing as well.
I said to myself that there are going to be great things that this boy can achieve and indeed he did. Throughout his life Michael Jackson created some of the most memorable and enjoyable songs our world has ever known. I have always loved his music and I guess I always will. You see I was the same age as Michael then and was growing up to a world of television and music. I will never achieve the greatness that he achieved but I will always remember Michael for what he gave the world. His life and his Music.
He died at age 50 but would have turned 51 in August 09 and of an age barely old enough to be called old. But I see Michael as never really having grown up. He is still that same boy. Did it matter if he was black or white? I never thought so. When you have lived the life that Michael lived and that life was filled with being a pefectionist, you never are really part of this world. It was never good enough for him to just do what you did before. He always wanted to do so much more. I believe that this is what killed him not the drugs as they mentioned. When he tried to return the pressure was too great for him to bear and he could not take not being able to peform as he always did.
The boy, the music lives in my heart forever and I live in his music forever. Michael you will always be a legend. May you rest in peace, Michael Joseph Jackson.

Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly the greatest athlete in sports today, and certainly one of the best from the Millennial generation. After winning Best Player, Best Forward and Best Individual Goal awards for La Liga for the 2013-2014 campaign, Ronaldo has enough achievements for his own museum despite being only 29.
His most recent award, however, was not earned on the pitch. On Friday, Facebook gifted Ronaldo a trophy congratulating him for reaching 100 million fans on his Facebook page. Ronaldo is the world’s first athlete to accomplish the feat, and has established himself as one of the most followed people on social media. He also has over 31 million Twitter followers.
Ronaldo is the second-most liked person on Facebook, trailing Shakira by 4 million likes. Ronaldo’s greatest rival on the pitch, Lionel Messi, is the 8th-most liked person on Facebook with 75 million likes. Ronaldo may have the top spot on lock, but let’s take a look at his competition. Here are the top 10 most popular athletes on Facebook.
#10. Mesut Özil – 26,691,435 likes
#9. Michael Jordan – 27,326,748 likes
#8. Ronaldinho Gaucho – 28,418,291 likes
#7. Ricardo Kakà – 32,145,981 likes
#6. John Cena – 34,227,755 likes
#5. Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) – 42,732,640 likes
#4. Neymar – 48,977,351 likes
#3. David Beckham – 50,152,219 likes
#2. Lionel Messi – 75,039,276 likes
#1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 101,706,564 likes
While one may expect LeBron James and Kobe Bryant to have made this list, they both finished around 5 million fans shy of making the cut. King James comes in at 13th with 21,931,366 likes while Kobe ranks 14th with 20,806,053 likes.


So Oprah has decided to throw her considerable influence behind Obama for President. Just this weekend, she already raised some serious bucks ($3 million) at a shindig at her Santa Barbara home. But the bigger contribution will be her influence. Lady O reaches over 8 million people on TV, and millions more via her magazine, website, and other media. She's never endorsed a candidate before, and it seems she may be willing to seriously go to bat for him. Not clear yet whether she would take an active role in his direct campaign, or simply do her own thing (as a 527). Either way, this is great news for the distinguished gentleman from Illinois (and in my opinion, great news for America).
I haven't heard yet if Letterman (or Uma Thurman) had any comment.


For two years, Fahim Fazli, his father, and brother lived in that refugee camp awaiting their entry into the United States. It was not an easy two years, but Fahim doesn’t regret it. He insists it was his honor to come into this country legally and respectfully, and he is proud of his adopted country. He doesn’t consider himself an Afghan-American. He is simply an American, and freely voices his thoughts on others who come to this great country; “Do not bring your fundamentalist culture. Respect what this country gives you. Stand on your own two feet.” In the years since he arrived, Fahim Fazli has made a name for himself in Hollywood. He’s worked as an actor and a consultant alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names, in some of Hollywood’s biggest movies. Charlie Wilson’s War, American Sniper, and Rock the Kasbah have all been graced with his work and his company. Now there is movement on a film being made about him. His story is deep and powerful and he has a message for anyone who has a dream. Don’t give up. Make it happen. If I can do it, you can do it.
Fahim Fazli spent the bulk of his childhood in his native land of Afghanistan. His family is of royal lineage, and his parents held prestigious jobs. Still, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, his family's life was shattered.
Fahim's family was separated. He was threatened with being sent to Siberia, made a dangerous escape on foot through the mountains, and spent 2 years in a Pakistani refugee camp before his family was reunited in America.
Today he is an actor and a consultant who works alongside some of Hollywood's biggest names. But it's his service as a combat linguist with the United States Marines that he's especially proud of.
In this episode, Fahim shares the emotional story of his childhood, his dangerous journey to America, and his unbridled love for the country he feels indebted to.
