SHOWTIME^® PRESENTS MARGARET CHO: psyCHO

Stand-Up Comedy Event from Emmy^® And Grammy^® Nominated Comedian Margaret Cho to Premiere

Friday, September 25^th At 9 PM ET/PT on SHOWTIME

Come September 25th it will be ChoTime on Showtime - how's that for a titty twister?!

SHOWTIME will debut MARGARET CHO: psyCHO, the latest show from renowned three-time Grammy and Emmy nominated comedian Margaret Cho on September 25^th at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Filmed in March at the Gramercy Theater in New York City, Cho returns to the stage in front of a live audience in this provocative and hilarious performance.

Never one to shy away from a difficult or taboo topic, Cho considers nothing off limits. The witty comedian keeps her audience laughing with her notorious observational humor and candid commentary on her personal life. From singlehood to Boko Haram to female empowerment, Cho tackles difficult subjects with sensitivity and razor sharp insight. Part of the show includes touching tributes to her “father in comedy,” Robin Williams and her “mother in comedy,” Joan Rivers. A pioneer in the comedy world, Cho doesn’t take anything for granted in this eclectic stand-up routine.   

“The audience at my shows don’t necessarily consider themselves traditional comedy fans,” says Cho. “I seem to be a secure alternative for people who don’t think they’re being represented in society. They come because my point of view satisfies a lot of what needs to be said out there, and that makes me really proud.”

From Clownery Productions Inc. and Levity Productions, MARGARET CHO: psyCHO is executive produced by Margaret Cho, Judi Brown-Marmel, Norman Aladjem, Neil Sheridan, Reg Tigerman, Sarah J. Martin, Stacy Mark and Heidy Vaquerano.

Meatloaf, It's Not Just For Dinner

MEAT LOAF GEARS UP FOR FALL TOUR

Although I enjoy Meat Loaf's music - he will always be Eddie from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" to me.

One of Rock's greatest live performers is gearing up for a return to his natural habitat. Meat Loaf – the world-renowned performer whose career has spanned over forty years – has just announced plans for an upcoming fall tour, with the initial dates beginning October 23 at the Pechanga Theatre in Temecula, California. The shows will mark his first extended series of tour dates in 2 years. “As a performing artist, being in front of a live audience is a feeling you can't get with anything else,” he says. “The adrenaline you feel when the fans are singing along with the words to your songs, combined with their loyalty, is an amazing feeling. After all, I didn't start yesterday, and they've been with me every step of the way.” The Dallas native moved to California after college, and quickly formed his first band – named Meat Loaf Soul. He became a much sought-after performer in the Los Angeles area, landing a featuring role in a production of Hair. The exposure that he received from that role led to an audition with Motown, where he was paired up with Shaun Murphy for the duo Stoney & Meatloaf. Together, they tallied one Top-40 hit on the R&B charts (“What You See Is What You Get”), but even more highlights were ahead. Meat Loaf appeared in a stage production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which later led to his being featured in the film of the same title. In 1977, he released his landmark album Bat Out Of Hell, and his career hit the fast lane. The album sold over 40 million copies worldwide, and led to successful follow-up albums such as Dead Ringer (1981) and Bad Attitude (1984). He earned a Gold single for the 1977 release “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad,” and achieved his biggest hit with 1992’s "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That),” which topped airplay and sales charts all over the world. The dramatic power ballad earned him a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo. With a show comprised of the biggest songs from his long list of Gold & Platinum selling albums, Meat Loaf will not disappoint The tour is set to begin 10/23. Initial dates announced include the below. Additional dates to follow. 10/23 Temecula, CA / Pechanga Theatre 10/28 Dallas, TX / Verizon Theatre 11/3 Detroit, MI / Motor City Casino Hotel 11/11 Westbury, NY / Theatre at Westbury 11/17 Bethlehem, PA / Sands Event Center 11/19 Englewood, NJ / Bergen PAC Get yourself a slice at: http://meatloaf.net/

Robert Downey Jr. Goes Blaxican!

RDJ & The Blaxican Gang

I have unfortunately never met Robert Downey Jr. - I say this because I've only ever heard & seen him be one cool guy.

Well here is more proof, while filming Captain America: Civil War in Atlanta, RDJ got his eat on at the Blaxican food truck.

Being the guy he is Robert posed for photos with the owner and his crew. 

Such a a good guy, no wonder he was cast as Iron Man!

Beat It With Cara Delevingne

Cara "Beatbox" Delevingne

There's something about Cara that I find compelling...even though she is present and available it's like she always has a secret of epic proportions brewing just under her surface.

Making Ms. Delevingne a personal favorite of mine. 

Well add one more thing to that list: Beatboxing. Yes, while promoting her movie Paper Towns on The Tonight Show, Cara revealed a whole new layer of herself and showed off a skill that the world at large did not know she had.

She impressed everyone including host Jimmy Fallon.

Watch your back Kevin "K.O." Olusola of Pentatonix, there's a new Beatboxer in town.

Hit the video after the jump!

You Know That Evening With Collective Soul...

Platinum-Selling Rock Band Collective Soul Set to Release

Ninth Album See What You Started By Continuing on October 2

USA TODAY premieres new single “This”

Hey Karen Castricher-Stegall remember that evening when we met Collective Soul at a club in Hollywood and...

Collective Soul, the multi-platinum selling band that helped sonically define alternative rock, is set to release their long-awaited ninth album, See What You Started By Continuing on October 2nd.

Roland explains the album title See What You Started By Continuing came following a year off after the band had been going non-stop for 19 years. “During that year, we had time to reflect and be proud of what we had accomplished over the years,” says Roland. “When we came back together, we were rested and more confident than we had ever been in our careers. We never thought of this as a second chance, but more of a second breath. We wanted to continue doing what we had always done and that was to make guitar driven music.”

See What You Started By Continuing was recorded and mixed at Edible Studios in Atlanta, GA and mixed by industry veteran Shawn Grove.  Following the release of the new album, the band will embark on their “21^st Birthday” tour. More details to follow.

Three Way With Amy Schumer

Does This Cigarette Make Me Look Topless?

In honor of Hump Day I thought I would share this photo. It made me laugh, hope it makes you laugh too!

Yep, the awesome Amy Schumer whose rave reviewed movie Trainwreck opens this Friday, up chucked her inner Princess Leia in a photo shoot for GQ.

As you know no Star Wars themed shoot would be complete without a menage a trois image of Leia having been freshly banged by C3PO and R2D2.

It'a all about the hump, Happy Wednesday!
