Get "Dumb" On Vinyl

Dumb & Dumber,Either Or...

Although I was never a huge fan of comedies starring Jim Carrey, for some reason I took a screener home of "Dumb & Dumber" while working at a talent agency. While I still never converted to being a huge Carrey fan I did find "Dumb & Dumber" funny, in a so "Dumb" it's entertaining sort of way...the sequel "Dumb and Dumber To" is on it's way people...

Another great thing about it was it's 90's soundtrack which is out on that ancient artifact known as vinyl the 20th of this month, so get your groove on and get dumb with your bad self!

The soundtrack to the smash hit film "Dumb and Dumber" will be available on vinyl for the first time ever on May 20 via ShopRadioCast. The double gatefold vinyl LP is now available for pre-order here.

The soundtrack features a who's who of 90's-era alt-rock and pop acts such as Crash test Dummies, The Proclaimers, Butthold Surfers, The Primitives, Dee-Lite, plus many others.

"Dumb and Dumber" is an American road-buddy comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. It was written and directed by the Farrelly brothers, and was their directorial debut. The film tells the story of Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two good-natured but dimwitted friends from Providence, Rhode Island who set out on a cross-country trip to Aspen, Colorado to return a briefcase full of money to its owner, only to be pursued by a group of criminals who are after the briefcase.

The film was released on December 16, 1994 and developed a cult following in the years since its release.

The success of "Dumb and Dumber" launched the career of the Farrelly Brothers and solidified Carrey's. The film also spawned an animated TV series and a 2003 prequel. A sequel, entitled "Dumb and Dumber To", is slated for a November 2014 release.

Need Anyone Ask Why Kim & Kanye Continually Get Snubbed?!

Kanye & Kim - Enough Said

Kim Kardashian was snubbed by President Obama  last week at Steven Spielberg’s 
Ambassador for Humanity gala. Although the President did mingle with a number of high profile guests, according to Radar Online, when Kim reached out for an introduction, she was rebuffed. 

OK Obama I'm with you on this decision, although Kim supported the President’s re-election, she was not allowed to do anything in a political capacity. Kim’s support is not something serious candidates want, let's all fain shock and surprise. The President has already labeled Kanye West as  “jackass” twice, so maybe this should not be a surprise.

The best surprise is no surprise...you two need to find a hole to hide in the bomb is coming. 

This Weeks Word: Snubbed - and rightfully so. Happy Mothers Day.& no website recommend at this time.

Ellen Degeneres Goes Lesbian For NBC

Elisha Cuthbert

Sixteen years after Ellen Degeneres came out on Ellen another network comedy with a lesbian lead is coming to primetime. 

NBC has given a pilot order to a multi-camera comedy executive produced by DeGeneres. 

The project, titled One Big Happy, is written/exec produced by openly gay comedy scribe Liz Feldman (2 Broke Girls). 

In it, a gay (woman) and straight (man) best friends decide to have a baby together, but things get complicated when the man finds the love of their life. 

Um, I was going to say "Holy Will & Grace" but this sounds a whole lot more interesting and progressive. 

Elisha Cuthbert from the classic show 24 and the awful remake of House of Wax (sorry Elisha I like you but, damn, really?!) is set to star in the pilot.

Can  I get a hey now?!

Keep up with Ellen at: http://www.ellentv.com/

You Know Her Name

I am pleased on so many levels to announce that one of my favorite rock icons from the 90's is truly back with an amazing new single and video.

OK, I love (pun intended) Courtney Love, I love Hole too...get with this program and you can be my friend forever. If you don't want to, I'll still like you, but it won't quite be the same.

Not to mention the flip side "Wedding Day."

Courtney is kicking it with her Rock/Alternative roots on  "You Know My Name" this icon/artist/force of nature is truly brilliant and knocks the shit out of way more paler artists today...I'm not calling anyone out on the mediocre scale who is wildly successful for no Mother F#@king reason, Rihanna..

Lay your pimp hand down, and rock out with whatever you want to pop out with Courtney!

Thank you universe that rebel rock is not dead...Can I get an enthusiastic YES!

Trick Or Treat, Beyonce & Jay Z At The Met Gala

Put A Damn Ring On It!

Halloween came early this year, get a load at most of the outfits celebs wore to the Met Gala, there were plenty of fun treats!

There were also some fancy PR tricks. The winner in this game goes to Beyonce and Jay Z, for the most endearing one that was oh so perfectly timed..."Put A Ring On It!"

Beyoncé and Jay Z were the final stars to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City Monday, and the power couple made in their Givenchy Haute Couture were the paparazzi's wet dream.

At one point, one of Beyoncé's Lorraine Schwartz rings slid off her finger and fell onto the ground. Fortunately, her knight in shinning armor, Mr. Jay Z located it — instead of merely handing it back to her, he decided to stage a mock proposal for the cameras.

Ms. Knowles gave an enthusiastic "Yes!"

Next month, Beyoncé and Jay Z will kick off their 16-date On The Run tour. 

You guys win this weeks best PR stunt, as obvious as it was, it was also endearing and clever.

"Say Something," It's "A Great Big World"

A Great Big World

A GREAT BIG WORLD TO EMBARK ON "A GREAT BIG WORLD TOUR"

NEW SINGLE "ALREADY HOME"

“ROCKSTAR” COVERED ON “GLEE” APRIL 1

Always remember: It's A Great Big World and you just live in it, carry on....

A Great Big World will be crisscrossing the globe this year when they launch an expansive international run, the appropriately titled "A Great Big World Tour". This marks their return to Europe and sees them hit numerous territories for the first time. The tour also perfectly coincides with the launch of the group's latest single "Already Home". With an elegant piano intro, the song builds into another impressive, inspiring, and infectious chorus from the group. It's another majestic anthem from A Great Big World following upon the stratospheric success of “Say Something” with Christina Aguilera which has reached international multi-platinum sales.

About “Already Home”, A Great Big World adds, "We wrote this song years ago, but it's kind of spooky how much the lyrics mean to us now that we've been away touring for months. We're realizing that 'home' doesn't need to be a tangible and physical thing. It can be that quiet place that is always there inside of you, or the love that exists between two people, no matter how far apart. So in that sense, we are always 'home."

In support of the song and critically acclaimed debut album, Is There Anybody Out There? [Black Magnetic/Epic Records], the tour starts on May 10^th with the iconic Los Angeles radio show Wango Tango, and then sees the New York pop duo of Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino visit at least twelve countries over the course of four months.

Axel and Vaccarino preface the tour saying, "It's pretty unbelievable that we've reached a point where we're able to travel half-way across the Earth, and have fans coming to see us and support us. That's why we write. That's why we perform - to connect. The world is beginning to feel a lot smaller than our name suggests!"

On April 1, A Great Big World’s music returns to hit Fox show Glee as the group’s uplifting anthem“Rockstar” will be covered by the cast during a pivotal episode. This is the second time Glee has chosen to perform one of the group’s songs. In 2013 the Glee cast performed “This Is the New Year” (video) and helped launch the song to its viral success.  Get ready to hear “Rockstar” like you’ve never heard it before.

It's been a magical journey thus far for the group. In addition to debuting at #3 on the Billboard Top 200, Is There Anybody Out There? received widespread critical acclaim upon its release in January. 

Their breakthrough triple-platinum mega-hit with Christina Aguilera, "Say Something,” ignited a fast rise to success back in November 2012. Axel, Vaccarino, and Aguilera gave a stirring performance on NBC's The Voice followed by enchanting and electrifying turns at the American Music Awards and The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 

As their profile grew, the single entranced the entire world, eventually selling over three million digital songs at a rapid rate in the U.S. alone. It went on to occupy the #1 spot on iTunes, Billboard's Digital Songs Chart, Billboard's Digital Track Chart, Spotify, and Shazam in addition to going Top 10 on sales charts in 19 countries. They've also performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, ABC's Good Morning America, LIVE with Kelly and Michael and had a live stream of their sold out New York Highline Ballroom show with VH1.com.  VH1 also selected the group as their first 2014 “You Oughta Know” Artist.  Finally most recently they were asked to perform as the first-ever musical guest on Late Night With Seth Meyers and gave a riveting performance at the prestigious Clive Davis annual Pre-Grammy party this year.
