Once touted as the natural heir to Joni Mitchell, singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones proven no less idiosyncratic or erratic; care Mitchell, Jones experienced meaning commercial success at the first of her career, but a unsatisfied creative spirit -- combined with a stubborn refusal to fit comfortably into whatsoever one musical recess -- sealed her ultimate fate as that of a highly regarded cult heroine.


Jones was innate on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, but the volatile relationship between her mother and father resulted in an bringing up that light-emitting diode her everywhere from Phoenix, AZ, to Olympia, WA, where an expulsion all over her school calling. As a teenager, Jones began crapulence heavily, and finally she left home and began drifting up and down the West Coast before subsiding in Los Angeles in the mid-'70s. There she worked a series of waitressing jobs spell at times acting in area clubs, where she panax quinquefolius and honed her unique, Beat-influenced spoken give-and-take monologues. She as well began a relationship with mate boho Tom Waits.


Her first base measure of success was as a songster; after her friend Ivan Ulz panax quinquefolius Jones' composition "Easy Money" over the phone to Lowell George, the ex-Little Feat frontman included it on his album Thanks I'll Eat It Here. Then in 1978 Jones' four-song demonstration came to the attention of Warner Brothers executive Lenny Waronker, world Health Organization enlisted Russ Titleman to co-produce her self-titled 1979 debut LP. Spurred by the success of the jazz-flavored hit unmarried "Chuck E's in Love," Rickie Lee Jones became a smash both commercially and critically, earning praise for Jones' elastic vocals, pictorial pun, and unequaled fusion of folk, idle words, and R&B.


With 1981's follow-up, Pirates, she gave early notice that her music would not sit still; employing yearner and more composite song structures, her lyrics tackled themes of organic evolution, change, and death. Two geezerhood after, she returned with Girl at Her Volcano, an EP collection of live jazz standards and studio apartment outtakes; with 1984's The Magazine, she made another leftfield turn, teaming with composer James Newton Howard for her slickest, most synth-driven outing to date.


Problems with alcoholic beverage, business difficulties, and the birth of a girl effectively sidelined Jones for a good deal of the decennary; she did not resurface until 1989's sterling Fast Cowboys, produced by Steely Dan's Walter Becker and recorded with the assistance of the fantastic Scottish trio the Blue Nile. Don Was took over the yield reins for 1991's Pop Pop, on which Jones covered ballads ranging in origination from Tin Pan Alley to the Haight-Ashbury spell backed by jazz players including Charlie Haden and Joe Henderson. After 1993's Traffic From Paradise, she embarked on an acoustic tour; Naked Songs, a document of those unplugged shows, followed in 1995. Ghostyhead was released in 1997 and the standards record book It's Like This appeared trey old age later.


She returned to original material in 2003 with The Evening of My Best Day, an album that verbalized her wrath with contemporary American politics. During the summer of 2005, Rhino released the three-CD anthology Duchess of Coolsville. Two geezerhood after, The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard, a arresting compendium of songs based on friend Lee Cantelon's 1997 good Book The Words, came proscribed.

"Idol" slide continues after judge mix-up

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - A night after Tuesday's much-discussed on-air blunder by "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul, the results show of the talent show lost 1.2 million viewers from the previous week.


With "Idol" (22.1 million viewers vs. 23.3 million) already having dropped in nearly every episode in recent weeks, however, that means the reality show has once again hit a five-year low. A year ago, the show averaged 29 million viewers.


On Tuesday's episode, a last-minute procedural change resulted in the judges critiquing contestants' first round of performances instead of waiting until the end of the second round. Abdul gave a negative review of contestant Jason Castro's two songs.


The only problem: Castro had sung only one song.


His second performance -- of Neil Diamond's "September Morn" -- was from the "Idol" rehearsal and was scheduled for later during the show. Judges are supposed to base their critiques on how contestants perform during the live telecast, not the rehearsal.


The on-air gaffe has unleashed a tsunami of comments from fans online accusing Abdul of being, at best, unfairly prejudging of Castro and, at worst, part of a competition series where judges' comments are determined in advance. Abdul said the next day that she was "confused."


At the other end of the reality ratings spectrum, the CW debuted "Farmer Wants a Wife" (2.4 million) up against "Idol," and the result was a lower premiere rating than the CW's previous reality effort, "Crowned." "Farmer" did slightly improve on its time-period average, however.


Fox won the night with 14.1 million viewers, followed by CBS (10.5 million), NBC (8.4 million), ABC (6.2 million) and the CW (3.2 million).

Narnia stars walk the red carpet at the New York premiere of Prince Caspian

May 9, 2008 () - Narnia stars walked the red carpet at Ziegfeld Theatre, New York, May 7, at the premiere of The Chronicles Of Narnia - Prince Caspian, the second film of the Narnia franchise from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media.

The first film in the series was The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).

Some of the child stars from the predominantly British cast have matured into young adults since 2005. Anna Popplewell (Susan Pevensie), William Moseley (Peter Pevensie), Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie) and Georgie Henley (Lucy Pevensie) looked cheerful and excited.

Anna Popplewell, 19, looked all grown in a red train gown. William Moseley, 20, was formally dressed in a suit and neck tie. Georgie, 12, looked adorably playful in a pink print puffball dress. Skandar Keynes looked cute and stylish dressed in a black sweater and blue dress shirt.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a fantasy film based on Prince Caspian, the second published novel in C. S. Lewis' children's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia.

The four Pevensie children return to Narnia to aid a young prince (Ben Barnes) in his struggle for the throne against his corrupt uncle King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto).

Perry Moore, the film's executive producer said that Prince Caspian features all four of the children. He told the Daily Mail, "We wanted the kids back before they got too old to do it again."

The film will be released on May 16, 2008 in the United States, June 5, 2008 in Australia, and June 27, 2008 in the United Kingdom.

Work on the script began before The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was released, so filming could begin before the actors grew too old for their parts. Director Andrew Adamson wanted to make the film more spectacular than the first, and created an action sequence not in the novel to up the ante.

The Narnians were designed to look wilder as they have been hiding from persecution, to stress the darker tone of the sequel. The filmmakers also took a Spanish influence for the antagonistic race of the Telmarines.

Filming began in February 2007 in New Zealand, but unlike the previous film, the majority of shooting took place in Central Europe, because of the larger sets available in those countries. To keep costs down, Adamson chose to base post-production in the UK, because of recent tax credits there.

One of the most incisive and savagely satiric songwriters of his era, Warren Zevon was born in Chicago on January 24, 1947. His shaping days were as colorful as the scenarios played out in his euphony: his fatherhood was a professional gambler, a modus vivendi which constrained the family line to actuate frequently, and Zevon worn-out about of his plastic years in California and Arizona. He erudite to play piano, centering primarily on classical material before a disintegrating home life lED him into pop music, as well as a few run-ins with the constabulary; subsequently his parents divorced when he was 16 days old, Zevon hopped into the Corvette his father-God south Korean won in a card game and headed for New York to become a common people isaac Merrit Singer. His music establish short response, notwithstanding, and he returned to California, finally cathartic his number 1 recordings as voice of the span Lyme & Cybelle. Session crop followed earlier Zevon issued his solo debut Treasured Dead or Alive in 1969; the LP received a poor reception, and so he returned to session make and composed advertising jingles, and as well served as the Everly Brothers' pianist earlier the duo's detachment. Following a 1974 sabbatical to Spain, Zevon returned to Los Angeles, where his longtime ally Jackson Browne had secured him a recording deal; with Browne in the producer's seat, Zevon cut a self-titled offer which was met with plush critical kudos upon its 1976 release. His 1978 follow-up Excitable Boy conventional him as a whole unique gift, and earned a goodish hit with its ironic single "Werewolves of London."


However, Zevon had fallen prey to potomania, and his personal demons sidelined him for the following two geezerhood; 1980s Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School and 1981's live set Stand in the Fire marked his gradual return to form, and the promise of his early work was restored on 1982's brilliant expiration The Envoy. The record album fared miserably on the charts, however, and Zevon once again hide off the estate car. A farsighted period of therapy and counseling followed before, new somber and revitalized, he issued Hokey Hygiene in 1987, recorded with championship assistance from members of R.E.M. (In 1990, some other collection of real from the sessions featuring Zevon and R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry was released under the describe Hindu Love Gods.) He continued his comeback in 1989 with Transversal City, a construct record elysian by science fiction's cyberpunk movement, and 1991's Mr. Bad Example. In 1993, Zevon issued his second live album, Learning to Flinch, followed in 1995 by Mutineer. His side by side studio movement, Life'll Kill Ya, did non appear until early 2000. It was a tame success, enough to revolutionize him to footstep back into the studio after touring the U.S.. My Ride's Here, which featured a guest appearance from David Letterman of all people, was released in the bound of 2002. Several months later, Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, an inoperable form of lung cancer, and doctors expected him to live no more than a few months. Zevon decided to make on a final album, with the help oneself of a fistful of celebrity friends and collaborators; The Wind was released in August of 2003, nigh a year to the day subsequently Zevon well-read of his condition, and he lived long enough to see its handout, as well as the parturition of his first grandchildren.
