Getting Nostalgic with Modern Talking

I just bough a box set of Modren talking and I must tell you that it was like my youth was back all over again. Just to hear the rythmic beat of their songs made my feet thump. How we forget the great music that they gave us in the era when music was pure and there was no hate or lust in the lyrics. Unlike the singers these days the artists back then were not interested in seducing us or arousing our racial/sexual emotions. All they wanted to give us was pure music. Pet Shop Boys, Moderan Talking and Kraftwerk come to mind as hugely popular groups in the small third world city that I grew up in.
Even Madonna was not so "in your face" back then. sigh... I wish this hip hop madness would end and we could have the beat back...
Thank you Modern talking for bringing back these memories for me and keeping a part of me young forever...

Paul Newman is no More

It is with great sorrow that I have to report that beloved actor and humanitarian Paul Newman has died of cancer in his home in Westport, Connecticut. He was 83.

Newman, whose stunning blue eyes and immense capacity for generosity made him one of the most cherished personalities of his era, was an extremely private man and was rumored to have been seriously ill for several months. He had canceled some planned appearances in the summer.

Born in Shaker Heights, Ohio in 1925, Newman first made his mark on the stage and TV but his startling good looks and undeniable presence destined him to appear on the screen. Newman often played troubled characters with streaks of nobility such as “Fast” Eddie Felson in The Hustler, and the eponymous, irrepressible roles of Hud Bannon in Hud and the imprisoned rebel, Cool Hand Luke.

But it was his role as Butch in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, opposite Robert Redford, that thrust him into the realm of superstardom. He followed it with other classic films including The Sting, The Towering Inferno, Slap Shot, and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.

Newman was a star right out of the gate, however, being nominated for an Oscar for his third major role as Brick Pollitt, the drunken husband locked in a loveless marriage with Elizabeth Taylor’s smoldering “Maggie the Cat” in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Newman’s real-life relationship was exactly the opposite. He was married to actress Joanne Woodward for 50 years. The two worked together in 1958’s The Long Hot Summer. It was the same year they were wed and that Woodward won an Oscar for her work in 1957’s The Three Faces of Eve.

It was not the end of their professional collaborations. Newman also directed her to another Oscar nomination in Rachel, Rachel (the film picked up four nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay by their lifelong friend, Stewart Stern). Newman also directed Woodward in The Glass Managerie and starred with her in Mr. & Mrs. Bridge.

Nominated for seven Oscars (including Best Actor nods for Absence of Malice and The Verdict), Newman finally won on his eighth nomination for his reprisal role of Fast Eddie in Martin Scorsese’s The Color of Money (he would be nominated two more times afterward, for Best Actor in Nobody’s Fool and Best Supporting Actor in Road to Perdition).

But of all the trophies Newman won or was awarded in his life, none seem more appropriate than his honorary 1994 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Newman’s charitable giving, from his Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, a camp for seriously ill children or his proceeds from Newman’s Own, are legendary. As was the man. As will be his legacy.

Newman is survived by Woodward, his five daughters and several grandchildren. A son, Scott Newman, died of an accidental drug overdose in 1978.

Country Singer Sara Evans Marries

Sara Evans has married former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker. While the publicist for the singer has affirmed the news there are still not much details available as I write this blog. 

The couple's seven children, including four from Barker's previous marriage, attended the ceremony. While Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon also showed up to sing "God Bless the Broken Road" (a song he co-wrote with Rascal Flatts), Christian minister Joe Beam presided over the ceremony. Evans and Barker met through Beam last year, as they both went through divorces.

"He was our own personal matchmaker," Evans told People. "I think God told Joe to get us together."

Here is wishing the couple a very happy married life and here is a HQ image of the lady looking very happy!

Jessica Alba has a friend in Justine Timberlake

Justin Timberlake says Jessica Alba will make a "good mother".

The heartthrob singer believes the stunning actress - who gave birth to daughter Honor Marie on Saturday (07.06.08) - has the right qualities to become a perfect parent.

Justin, who starred in 'The Love Guru' with Jessica, said: "Congratulations Jessica! She seems very patient, and I would assume that's what it takes to be a good mother, a good parent for that matter."

Justin is also impressed with the choice of name Jessica and husband Cash Warren decided on for their little girl.

He said: "Honor Marie - that's a cool name. I'm happy for them. It's beautiful."

Jessica's other co-star Mike Myers also believes she has what it takes to be a good mom.

He said: "She'll be a great mother. She's smart, she's talented and she's one of the most down-to-earth people I've ever worked with."
'The Love Guru' will be released this summer.

Petula Clark

You Can remember Petula Clark for so many reasons - Her acting, her singing or just her beauty. I am filled with her music so much that I do not see her as an actress.

The first I heard of her was when I heard the song "A Groovy Kind of Love" a duet that she sang with Sir Cliff. This song was no patch on the version of Phil Collins and all was forgotten. That was until I came across the eight album set that I was gifted by some one very dear to me.

Those eight albums kept playing on and on and today I ahve to admit I am glad I gave Petula a second chance and did not dismiss her after that disasterous first encounter.

Salut Petula, You are indeed a great singer
