Taylor Swift with new album and is cheap

Jay Sean with his History.

The emergence of R&B singer Jay Sean looks set to redefine the UK's urban music rulebook. As the UK's first Asian crossover superstar, Sean has already tasted chart success with the slick anthem Dance With You (Nachna Tere Naal). But what makes Jay Sean such an exciting musical proposition is that as a UK born and bred artist his unique appeal is that he fuses 'Desi' rhythms with a credible R&B sensibility to produce a thoroughly authentic sound. With the highly-contagious Eyes On You already dominating radio nationally, Sean’s eagerly-awaited debut album has garnered positive critical anticipation from both the streets and the broadsheets in equal measure. It's not everyday you come across an urban music singer who includes punk and stadium rock as important to his musical upbringing as hip hop and R&B.

However, Jay Sean isn't your run of the mill urban music artist. Having given up a promising medical career in favour of his first love, music, Jay Sean’s story begins more than a decade ago in Hounslow, west London. "I started rapping 11 years ago," Sean remembers. "I was in a group called Compulsive Disorder, it was a punk-rap group. We got ourselves a few gigs and when DJs such as Choice FM’s 279 played it, we received a lot of local notoriety." Disillusioned with the UK's cynical rap scene, focussed as it was, on the colour of his skin rather than the content of his songs, Sean quickly immersed himself in R&B. "Hip hop was my first love, but as soon as I got into producing, R&B became my mistress. As a teenager, I grew up on a cocktail of music. I was surrounded by a lot of different influences from black, white and Asian friends," says the 22 year old. Integral to Jay Sean's trademark smooth R&B sound is the flawless production of UK superproducer Rishi Rich. The relationship, as Sean admits, is based on total trust and an obvious appreciation of one another’s respective talents. "Rishi’s an important part of my whole career, he’s fundamental," says Sean.

"He was the one who discovered me and had the faith to encourage me." For Sean, their initial meeting provided its very own 'Dr. Dre/ Eminem' moment. "Some close friends heard an early song I wrote called One Minute. Rishi Rich was one of the people that heard it. I had heard about him through the streets. When we met he asked me to sing for him on the spot! Rishi told his management about me, and on the strength of my impromptu performance, they wanted me to join their crew." However, as the only Asian R&B singer around at the time, Sean realised that becoming a soul singer was not necessarily the traditional path for what he describes as a "well brought up Sikh lad". He continues: "Like most people I was always singing around the house, so much so that when relatives came from overseas, I had to sing for them. I was the party trick!" he laughs. The diversity of the album proves that Jay Sean although an avowed entertainer is so much bigger than the 'Asian R&B' pigeonhole lazy commentators will unsuccessfully attempt to force him into. Songs such as One Night, On & On and Stolen deal with the universal issues of love, loss and regret to which everybody can relate.

"I believe that there was never that opportunity for Asian people to showcase their talents effectively," Sean says when asked why there’s been no breakthrough Asian urban performer up to this point. "It’s only in the last few years through the mainstream’s fascination with Bollywood and all things Asian that we can now be accepted in non-traditional and less stereo-typical roles," reasons Sean. It’s a theme tackled on the early song You Don’t Know Me, a track dealing with the negative response of record companies unwilling to take him seriously as an artist, who just happens to be Asian. "It was important to me to make sure that the Asian community understood me and what I was about. The song helped me gain respect in my own community, as it takes record companies to task for their own musical blindness."

On Me Vs Myself, one of the album’s stand-out tracks, Sean takes the opportunity to controversially attack himself. It's possibly the first time that an artist has attacked himself on vinyl, even Eminem would be proud. "All I do is diss myself!" he laughs. "It's Jay the singer versus Jay the rapper. I’m hard on myself. In truth, I’m not afraid to have a dig at myself as I try not to take myself too seriously." As a whole, it's the different influences that clearly inform much of Jay Sean's debut album and make the entire project such an intriguing find. Songs such as the massive Eyes On You through to the ultra-spiritual Ramta Jogi, mark Sean out as a singular talent to be reckoned with. Sean's biggest strength includes not only his versatile vocal talents, pitch-perfect delivery backed with on-point production but the fact that as a young Asian man, he represents a demographic wholly under-served by the mainstream. Sean already enjoys a huge fanbase from his highly-rated weekly Kiss FM show with Juggy D and Rishi Rich.

A recent performance in India on MTV Asia, where he performed as part of the Rishi Rich Project to a television audience of 165 million viewers led to a recent chance meeting with superproducer Tim 'Timbaland' Moseley and may yet see a Jay Sean collaboration. "Timbaland heard me rap and said he was feelin’ it. So I took him shopping in Southall to get some Indian CDs. He said my vocals were hot, which was really cool, a big compliment from one of the biggest producers on the planet." With a sound that embraces rather than alienates all races and colours, we can safely say that we've got front row seats in witnessing the emergence of the UK's first Asian R&B superstar. Watch this space.

Christina a small town girl trades for Lingeria.

The old bump and grind receives a squeaky-clean workout in “Burlesque,” a backstage tease-o-rama about life in and out of corsets and garters. Sparkly and smiley and thoroughly goofy (sleepy and dopey make appearances too), the story turns on an Iowan refugee for whom the Big Time means doing the hoochie-coochie in a Los Angeles club. There, where the dancers are dollies with Pilates physiques, the mistress of ceremonies should be Alan Cumming (who shows up now and again, giggling on the sidelines), but turns out to be Cher, trying her darnedest to play older and wiser but without, you know, the wrinkles and gray.

Cher plays Tess, the proprietress of one of those atmospheric holes in the wall where dreams turn into realities — or at least a savvy combination of a Disney tween program and a Lifetime weepie. It’s a perfect platter for the plucky Iowan dish, Ali, played by the pop singer Christina Aguilera, who enters in white hooker heels and a bright Beverly Hills smile. By all rights it should also be a nice fit for Ms. Aguilera, a graduate of “The Mickey Mouse Club” (where she appeared with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears) and the seasoned music-video star of spectacles like “Dirrty,” in which she trampled on poor Walt’s grave (and her own bubble-gum persona) by feverishly pumping her hips in peek-a-boo chaps.

Alas, both her moves and her feature-film debut are perversely tame (no spanky-panky here, unlike in “Dirrty”), closer to your grandmother’s fan dance than to the neo-burlesque revues that began popping up in the early 1990s. As performed by troupes like the Velvet Hammer, the new burlesque put a feminist spin on the art of the tease with women who, with their tattoos and Bettie Page dos, bore little resemblance to the androgynous hard-bodies of mainstream music videos. In the new burlesque, women not only control their images (that’s the idea, anyway), but they also redefine what alluring looks like with sometimes proudly fleshy bodies. At its most radical, it is drag for women, a place where femininity is performed, not assumed.

“Burlesque” nods, though more rightly wags its derrière, in the direction of new burlesque, but it’s strictly old school — at times, really old school — with a story line that had already gathered dust by the time the choreographer Busby Berkeley pointed his camera up the collective skirt of the chorus in the 1933 musical “42nd Street.”

As in that old-studio gem, the story in “Burlesque” unwinds both onstage and off, a twinned perspective that in most backstage musicals helps define the line between ostensible real life and performance. No such line exists in this movie, either because the writer and director, Steven Antin, hasn’t a clue what real life looks like, or he actually does and has opted to sweeten these worlds with the same softly diffused, caramelized light.

Kim Kardashian thinking of her future.

Kim Kardashian is the ex-girlfriend of Nick Cannon, Reggie Bush and Ray J. She had intercourse on camera with the former, which is what made Kim a celebrity gossip favorite.

She stars in Keeping Up with the Kardashians. This ridiculous reality show has been on for two seasons and is centered around Kim and her attention-starved family, which includes former Olympian Bruce Jenner and an assortment of sisters with first names that begin with the letter K.

It's hard to say what makes Kim so popular, but you gotta admire how she's mastered the celebrity gossip game. Kardashian makes millions a year by simply appearing at clubs and blogging about random parties. She must love capitalism.

Kardashian had been seriously dating NFL star Reggie Bush for years. Following rumors of an engagement, the pair broke up in July 2009, only to get back together about a month later. And then break up again. She was then linked to wide receiver Miles Austin.

She appeared on season seven of Dancing with the Stars, partnered with Mark Ballas... and didn't do very well. In closing, Kim and her sisters own a clothing store. It's called "Dash" and they like to pretend as though they actually play a role in its daily operations.

Kevin says- "I had a lisp"

 

In elementary school, Kevin remembers cringing if his teacher called on him to read out loud. "I had a lisp and I stuttered," Kevin confides to M. "So I literally had to work through every single word I spoke, which was pretty hard. I did speech therapy and had a teacher who worked with me a lot. I would love to go back to her and thank her, because who would've known that in the future, I would be doing interviews all day long!"

Mini Biography

Dwayne Douglas Johnson was born in Hayward, California on May 2nd 1972 to Rocky Johnson and Ata Johnson. While growing up, Dwayne traveled around a lot with his parents and watched his father perform in the ring. During his high school years, Dwayne began playing football and he soon received a full scholarship from the University of Miami where he had tremendous success as a football player. In 1995, Dwayne suffered a back injury which cost him a place in the NFL. He then signed a 3 year deal with the Canadian League but left after a year to pursue a career in wrestling. He made his wrestling debut in the USWA under the name Flex Kavanah where he won the tag team championship with Brett Sawyer. In 1996, Dwayne joined the WWE and became Rocky Maivia where he joined a group known as "The Nation of Domination" and turned heel. Rocky eventually took over leadership of the "Nation" and began taking the persona of The Rock. After the "Nation" split, The Rock joined another elite group of wrestlers known as the "Corporation" and began a memorable feud with Steve Austin. Soon the Rock was kicked out of the "Corporation". He turned face and became known as "The Peoples Champion". In 2000, the Rock took time off from WWE to film his appearance in The Mummy Returns (2001). He returned in 2001 during the WCW/ECW invasion where he joined a team of WWE wrestlers at The Scorpion King (2002), a prequel to The Mummy Returns (2001). He is divorced from his first wife Dany Garcia (Garcia). They have a daughter together named Simone Alexandra, born in 2001.

His $5.5-million paycheck for The Scorpion King (2002) earned him a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, as his salary was the highest for any actor receiving top billing for the first time.

No athlete who ever hosted "Saturday Night Live" (1975) has ever repeated for a second time, until The Rock did so in 2002. Technically, he was promoting a film for his second sting (The Scorpion King (2002)) but his college football, CFL and pro wrestling background makes him the show's first two-time athlete-host.

He owns the rights to name "The Rock" (including logos, phrases, etc). The rights to the name "The Rock" were previously owned by WWE, Inc. (which is the main reason why Vince McMahon has received executive producer credits in some of the Rock's films).

Once, while putting on a show for WWF road agent Pat Patterson, sold his opponent's moves so well, his then-girlfriend Dany Garcia thought he was actually hurt.

Growing up, considered what his father did, "wrestling"; he once tried amateur wrestling, and found he didn't like it.

In a 2000 episode of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (1975), proved his acting and singing abilities by performing in various skits throughout the show.

He was offered a promotional deal with "Dunkin' Donuts", which would have seen the company name a donut after him. Thinking it would make him appear big-headed, he graciously turned the offer down.

Officially proclaimed himself "The Rock" during a promo where he attacked Ron Simmons (Faarooq) in a "WWF Raw" (1997) telecast.

Sparred with, and gave guidance to, current Smackdown superstar Orlando Jordan.

He originally chose "Flex Kavana" as his stage name, because he didn't want to seem like he was trading off his family's legacy (Rocky Johnson, his father, and High Chief Peter Fanene Maivia his grandfather). Ironically, WWE officials came up with "Rocky Maivia" after they felt "Flex Kavana" wasn't exactly a great name.

When Rocky Maivia was first considering going by the name The Rock for short, he resisted because he felt it would be stealing the former nickname of WWE Hall-of-Famer Don Muraco. He was talked into it by Vince Russo.

While filming Be Cool (2005), he was "Punk'd" (2003) by Ashton Kutcher's crew. They set his trailer on fire, which didn't seem to faze him. It was only after Vince, one of the "Punk'd" (2003) crew, blamed the fire on him that things got really heated and they revealed the gag.

Was Tim Burton's second choice for the role of Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005).

Personal Quotes

Finally...The Rock...has come back to [whatever city he's in at the time]

You will go one on one with the Great One!

Who in the blue hell are you?

[Referring to his 0.7 grade point average in college] "It's pretty hard to get a point seven. You have to do close to nothing."

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking!

The Rock will take you down Know Your Role Boulevard which is on the corner of Jabroni Drive and check you directly into the Smackdown Hotel!

It doesn't matter what you think.

"I have so much love and respect for the fans. I'll never forget where I came from. I love the business. I grew up in the business. And everyone always asks me, from Letterman [David Letterman] to Stone Phillips, what I miss about wrestling. Hands down, I miss the interaction with the fans. Outside of the ring I loved it, too. I mean, how hard is it to sign an autograph? Don't be an a**hole to your fans. And there's many [in WWE] that won't, which is bulls**t. But inside the ring, just that energy and feeding off that energy is great. There's something so special about it. And every night I would just have a blueprint of what I would say and rely so much on ad-libbing and waiting to see what happens when I get out there and let it materialize organically and see what happens. Every night was a different crowd and they gave me so much energy, and I'll always love that and always miss that for sure." [Interview with WWE.com in October 2005]

Will Smith with his Legend.

Although he initially became famous as a rapper, Will Smith went on to prove his acting talents in both television and films, eventually winning a reputation as an entertainer who could easily cross back and forth between musician and actor. In the process, he became one of the most successful entertainers--African-American or otherwise--in
the American popular consciousness of the 1990s.
A native of Philadelphia, Smith was born on September 25, 1968. The son of middle-class parents (his father owned a refrigeration company and his mother worked for the school board) and the second of four children, he earned the nickname "Prince" thanks to his ability to talk himself out of trouble. The nickname became part of his popular persona when, with fellow rapper Jeff Townes, Smith (who had been rapping since the age of twelve) formed the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. Smith found fame as a rapper, producing two platinum albums and winning a Grammy for He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper.
However, by the time he was eighteen, Smith had squandered much of his fortune and was in debt to the IRS. Help came in the form of Warner Bros. executive Benny Medina, who wanted to create a TV show based on his own experiences as a poor kid living with a rich Beverly Hills family. The result was The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, a popular sitcom that gave Smith--who had turned down an MIT scholarship to pursue his career--even greater fame as the show's protagonist. During the show's six-year run, Smith began to branch out towards film work. Following roles in Where the Day Takes You (1992) and Made in America (1993), he scored critical approval as a young, gay con man pretending to be Sidney Poitier's son in Six Degrees of Separation (1993). He also scored a decent helping of controversy, thanks to remarks he made in an interview that were perceived as homophobic. Two years later, Smith found his first major commercial success alongside Martin Lawrence in the action flick Bad Boys. The following year, he topped that with a turn in the sci-fi smash Independence Day, which was one of the year's biggest moneymakers.

Extraterrestrial lifeforms proved to be a profitable subject for Smith, as he went on to make a similarly gargantuan amount of money playing a secret agent tracking down aliens with Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black (1997). The film turned out to be a lucrative enterprise for him off the screen as well, as his theme-song single also became a hit. Its success inspired him to begin rapping again, and that same year he released Big Willie Style. 1997 also brought Smith success on a more personal front, as he married actress Jada Pinkett on New Year's Eve. In 1998, the actor starred in Enemy of the State, a conspiracy thriller also starring Gene Hackman that had him on the run from government agents. The film was a commercial success, and the next year Smith starred in Wild Wild West. As the film's eponymous 19th-century lawman hero, Smith was part of a project that was widely dismissed by critics and failed to make back its high costs. However, his theme-song single provided another hit for the actor and musician.

Real Story of Lady GaGa

When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy’s arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.
It’s no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady Gaga.
“I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I’m a ham today,” says Lady Gaga, 23, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song “Beautiful Dirty Rich,” and wild, theatrical, and often tongue-in-cheek “shock art” performances where Gaga – who designs and makes many of her stage outfits -- would strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose as a disco ball lowered from the ceiling to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange.
“I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three,” says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen’s song “Radio Gaga” and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. “I look at those artists as icons in art. It’s not just about the music. It’s about the performance, the attitude, the look; it’s everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish.”
That goal might seem lofty, but consider the artist: Gaga is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs such as New York’s the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20^th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady Gaga has earned the right to reach for the sky.
“My goal as an artist is to funnel a pop record to a world in a very interesting way,” says Gaga, who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her album, The Fame (Streamline/KonLive/Interscope). “I almost want to trick people into hanging with something that is really cool with a pop song. It’s almost like the spoonful of sugar and I’m the medicine.”
On The Fame, it’s as if Gaga took two parts dance-pop, one part electro-pop, and one part rock with a splash of disco and burlesque and generously poured it into the figurative martini glasses of the world in an effort to get everyone drunk with her Fame. “The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous,” she explains. “Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.”
The CD’s opener and first single, “Just Dance,” gets the dance floor rocking with it’s “fun, L.A., celebratory vibe.” As for the equally catchy, “Boys Boys Boys,” Gaga doesn’t mind wearing her influences on her sleeve. “I wanted to write the female version of Motley Crue’s ‘Girls Girls Girls,’ but with my own twist. I wanted to write a pop song that rockers would like.”
“Beautiful Dirty Rich” sums up her time of self-discovery, living in the Lower East Side and dabbling in drugs and the party scene. “That time, and that song, was just me trying to figure things out,” says Gaga. “Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry, I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might come off as a love song to cameras, and in all honestly, Gaga jokes “on one level it IS about wooing the paparazzi and wanting fame. But, it’s not to be taken completely seriously. It’s about everyone’s obsession with that idea. But, it’s also about wanting a guy to love you and the struggle of whether you can have success or love or both.”
Gaga shows her passion for love songs on such softer tracks as the Queen-influenced “Brown Eyes” and the sweet kiss-off break-up song “Nothing I can Say (eh eh).” “‘Brown Eyes’ is the most vulnerable song on the album,” she explains. “‘Eh Eh’ is my simple pop song about finding someone new and breaking up with the old boyfriend.”
For the new tour for this album, fans will be treated to a more polished version of what they saw (and loved) at her critically acclaimed Lollapalooza show in August 2007 and Winter Music Conference performance in March 2008. “This new show is the couture version of my handmade downtown performance of the past few years. It’s more fine-tuned, but some of my favorite elements to my past shows – the disco balls, hot pants, sequin, and stilettos – will still be there. Just more fierce and more of a conceptual show with a vision for pop performance art.”
It’s been a while since a new pop artist has made her way in the music industry the old-fashioned/grass roots way by paying her dues with seedy club gigs and self-promotion. This is one rising pop star who hasn’t been plucked from a model casting call, born into a famous family, won a reality TV singing contest, or emerged from a teen cable TV sitcom. “I did this the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York City and I bombed in every club and then killed it in every club and I found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist, get real, and how to fail and then figure out who I was as singer and performer. And, I worked hard.”
Gaga adds with a wink in her eye, “And, now, I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time.”
