BWO, Pandemonium

2008-08-31T18:33:00.001-07:00

File under 'stilton'. If you're a massive fan of S Club 7, the Eurovision Song Contest and ruffled skirts, you're in for a brobdingnagian treat. If all of the in a higher place make you run for cover, turn away now.

In all seriousness, if camp pop floats your gravy boat, chances ar you know all nearly Sweden's gold group BWO (Bodies Without Organs) already. Having clocked up an impressive seven-spot top ten singles in their domicile country, BWO can also proudly claim to have had more than international twenty-first century wireless chart hits in Europe than any other act. Well, other than Robbie Williams. Love for the band spans from Scandinavia to Poland, with Britain's G-A-Y crowd lapping up the iII too.

This 18-track collection of the group's singles is a pipe dream made in poptastic heaven for a Swedish village hall DJ. Stand-out tracks (if your name is Disco Dave) include Radio 2 feel-good favourite, Sunshine In The Rain and sashaying singsong number, Barcelona. Or, if you're up for whimpering in to the Kleenex, press play on tops sad ballads, We Could Be Heroes and The Destiny Of Love.

It's highly unlikely that the average Joe will enjoy this LP. However, if you're a born blonde, under 13 and hormonal, you are going to love it.

2008-06-06T22:01:00.001-07:00

A violin virtuoso replaced the airport cacophony of taxis and planes with the exquisite tones of a 285-year-old violin to give thanks to the cab driver who reunited him with his lost instrument. Philippe Quint, a Grammy-nominated violinist, played the private, 30-minute performance at Newark Liberty International airport's cab waiting area yesterday afternoon for Mohamed Khalil.

Quint said that Mr Khalil and his family will also have tickets to his next New York performance, on 23 September at Carnegie Hall.

The 1723 Antonio Stradivari "Ex-Kiesewetter" violin was left in Mr Khalil's cab on 21 April, when Quint was returning from a performance in Dallas. The violin, valued at $4m (£2m), was on loan from the philanthropists Clement and Karen Arrison, of Buffalo, New York.

After calling police and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Quint was soon in the offices of the Newark Taxi Commission viewing photographs of taxis. After Mr Khalil got word of the search the next morning, he arranged to meet Quint. After receiving the violin, the musician gave Mr Khalil $100; he also received an award from the City of Newark.

Mr Khalil, 57, emigrated from Egypt in 1980 and is an American citizen. Quint, 34, is also an immigrant, and took US citizenship after leaving Russia in 1991.

Sarah Jessica Parker - Parker Hasnt Ruled Out Sex Sequel

2008-05-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

SARAH JESSICA PARKER will make a second SEX AND THE CITY movie - if she can find a balance between her careers as a mother and actress.

Positive early reviews of the new film - an adaptation of the hit TV series - have prompted the 43-year-old to consider following it up with a sequel - but only if it doesn't drag her away from young James Wilkie, her son with actor husband Matthew Broderick.

When grilled on U.S. TV show Good Morning America on Thursday (29May08), Parker said, "You'd have to ask my son... He'd have to be willing to let me be that diligent...

"This last experience has been two years, and it's been the real last year of my life professionally. And I've had to figure out how to make certain that he is well and good. But I've been absent in a lot of ways and it's time for me not to be for a while."

But she admits the real decision will be based on the first movie's box office success: "Honestly, the truth of the matter is I think we've felt so privileged to arrive at this day, that we have not uttered the word (sequel). I feel it's really out of our hands. I don't know."

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Schwarzenegger Backs Fired Ugly Betty Crew

LATEST: California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has offered his support to angry crewmembers on U.S. series UGLY BETTY, who will lose their jobs when the show moves from Los Angeles to New York.

Producers last week (6May08) made the decision to relocate the set to make the most of new tax incentives on offer in New York.

But the move will leave 300 people out of work, including dry cleaners, caterers and construction firms.

The disgruntled employees grouped together to take out an ad in Hollywood trade paper Variety, appealing to Schwarzenegger to help stop the loss of more business.

Addressing the letter, the governor insists tax incentives have been drawn up - but have yet to be approved by the California legislature.

He insists they are a necessity, if the state wants to keep its status as the home of movies and TV.

He says, "What happened was productions that shifted to other states, didn't come back to California; they went to Louisiana, they went to Florida, they went to New Mexico because they give great tax incentives."

Celebrating Hollywood's worst in Film, the Razzie nominees were announced ahead of the Oscar nominees.
Lindsay Lohan's thriller, 'I know Who Killed Me', in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received nine Razzie nominations, amongst them Worst Picture of 2007.
For her Worst Actress nomination, Lohan polled more heavily than any star since Sofia Coppola in 'The Godfather Part III,' according to Razzie founder, John Wilson.
2007 may have been the year Eddie Murphy won an Academy Award nomination for his role in 'Dreamgirls', but that didn't prevent his film 'Norbit' from receiving eight nominations.
Besides a nod for Worst Picture, five of those went to Murphy alone, more than any one person has ever received in a single year.
"We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations," said John Wilson.
Adam Sandler ('I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry') and Cuba Gooding Jr ('Daddy Day Camp', 'Norbit') joined Murphy in the Worst Actor category, along with Nicolas Cage ('Ghost Rider')and Jim Carrey ('The Number 23').
The 'winners' of the 28th Razzies will be announced on 23 February, a day before the Oscars.

About the Artists

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Michelle Branch has always been a
young woman in a big hurry. At the age of 18 she released her first
multi-platinum album and turned the world onto her catchy, heartfelt sound
with the hit singles "Everywhere" and "All You Wanted." Her second album
proved to be just as successful with the hit singles "Are You Happy Now?"
and "Breathe." Branch has collaborated with Carlos Santana and broke down
the barriers between pop and country with her band The Wreckers. The Grammy
winner is now back at work in the studio on her new solo album that is sure
to embody the timeless, bold music fans have come to expect from her.

Fountains of Wayne took America by storm in 1996 with their single
"Radiation Vibe," solidifying it as a top hit of the decade. The New York
band has shown that their sound is just as relevant almost a decade later
with their irresistibly catchy 2003 hit "Stacy's Mom." Their newest album
Traffic and Weather received a four-star review by Rolling Stone, and is
reestablishing the band as a definite force to be reckoned with in 2008.

Blues Traveler formed in New York City twenty years ago. With the
release of Four (1994) Blues Traveler spawned one of the biggest hits of
1990s -- the Grammy-winning "Run-Around" -- which spent nearly a year on
the charts and, along with the hit single "Hook," drove the album to sell
over 5 million copies. Over the course of their career the band has
released 8 studio albums, six of which have been certified either gold or
platinum and have collectively sold over 10 million units worldwide.

Vertical Horizon developed their reputation for electrifying live
performances through years of touring, building their fan base from a
devoted grass-roots following to a fiercely loyal international audience.
Their multi-platinum debut album, Everything You Want, featured four hit
singles, including "You're A God," "Best I Ever Had," "We Are," and the
title track, which reached #1 on the Billboard charts and was the most
played song of the year 2000 on Top Forty radio. Their follow-up album, Go,
featured the hits "I'm Still Here" and "Forever." Vertical Horizon's new
release, Burning the Days, will be released this fall.

Kelly Jurors Must Watch Explicit Sex Tape

2008-05-27T17:44:00.001-07:00

Jurors in the R. KELLY child pornography trial have been told they'll have to watch an explicit sex tape.

As opening statements got underway in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday (20May08), prosecutors told the jury members the taped evidence they'll be shown features an "underage child performing sex acts that you have never seen before."

Cook County prosecutor Shauna Boliker added, "A child doesn't choose to be violated and placed on a videotape, a videotape that will live on forever - long after this child becomes an adult."

Kelly stands accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

The R+B singer maintains he isn't the man on the tape, and the girl in the video, who is now, 23, insists she isn't the girl in the footage.
