With their latest CD PTX Volume III out now, Pentatonix have once again teamed with Rock Star violinist Lindsey Stirling.

As you may recall the six of them paired before for the Award Winning cover of Imagine Dragons Radioactive.

Well this time they cover a song that I have never heard of, but you guys may have Papaouti by Stromae. Rumor has it this guy with the single moniker is big in Europe, groovy! I am now aware and will check him out..!

Pentatonix always brings it on new music wise.

In it the gang of six play toys. Toys are great at any age, and this video is da bomb!

The PTX/Stirling collaboration is here again and the result is, as with the last time, Award Winning caliber. Cut to the jump and get your Papaouti on!

Alicia Keys - Happy "Bump Day"

Alicia Keys, Peace
"I don't care what your differences are with your Moms. If you can do it. Hold them and tell them that you love them" - Erik Rimmer

What a lovely sentiment from a special guy.


Everyone must know how much I love the site of a nude pregnant woman by now...after my post about Christina Aguilera how could you not?

Well the lovely and talented Ms. Alicia Keys is the latest on the list to show her glow, and it's for charity. With an awesome peace sign emblazoned across her tummy, so cool!


Alicia's goal is to connect her millions of fans with reputable organizations tackling big issues, from hunger and poverty to LGBT rights and gun violence. Keys has donated $1 million to be split among 12 groups and released a new song, "We Are Here," to get even more attention.


In honor of Ms. Keys and her bundle of joy. I am going to publish the link to the twelve charity's that this photo was meant to benefit.


As she states: "People won't be able to ignore this visual."


Hey Alicia, nobody does it better...love sent to you and yours. 


Remember, Mom's Rule! Happy "Bump Day!"

The Divorce Show: Kris & Bruce Jenner

We're All Part Of The Divorce Show
Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner love living apart, a whole Hell of a lot..!
Kris has filed for divorce, 11 months after the Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars announced they had separated. But of course they did.
Reports state they are still friendly, whatever. I am merely letting this cat out of the bag because lots of other people actually care. Also Mr/Ms Jenner is a Gold Medal Olympic Winner and starred in the inexplicable gay cult film Can't Stop The Music with The Village People, which is so bad it isn't even camp.
"Happy Anniversary to one of the most amazing men I know!!!!" Kris wrote to Bruce at the time. 
Well: Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye

Thanks for the fame whore memories, let's hope Bruce's Olympic Legacy will always be honored after this debacle.

All Of You: The Last Tour


Miles Davis & John Coltrane "All Of You: The Last Tour" 
A unique 4-CD set of landmark 'Live' recordings coming December 2nd
Davis' tour of Europe during the spring of 1960 that marked 
the close of his five year association with Coltrane
                                                 
Get yourself some...Booyah!!!

Trapeze Music & Entertainment is releasing on its Acrobat label a 4-CD set of 'live' recordings from the 1960 tour of Europe by The Miles Davis Quintet featuring John Coltrane, which effectively marked the close of Coltrane's five-year association with Davis.

The recordings comprise radio broadcast and private recordings which have previously been available in a patchy and piecemeal fashion, this is the first time that a substantial body of the material recorded during the tour has been brought together in one collection, providing listeners with a coherent appreciation of the extraordinary creative alchemy that the two front men delivered on a nightly, often twice-nightly basis.

Featuring Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums, the performances saw creative sparks flying the instant the band took to the stage, and audiences witnessed the trumpeter and his star sidemen reinventing their regular repertoire like never before.

The recordings have been carefully cleaned and re-mastered to achieve the highest possible quality and sound dynamics without prejudicing the essential character of the performances, and the result is a stunning, sometimes almost exhausting, six hours or so of absorbing listening, such is the intensity of the music. Comprehensive and in-depth notes in the 36-page booklet by noted writer and award-nominated tenor saxophonist Simon Spillett give a detailed technical commentary on the performances and solos, which gives a fascinating insight into the techniques and styles of the musicians.

The set is specially packaged in a high quality box with each CD in its own individual wallet, making this a highly collectible and prestigious package befitting the provenance of the recordings.

Jared Leto's Anaconda

Jared Leto: Delivers A Package For Eveyrone
I bet Nicki Minaj's buns couldn't handle this Anaconda...
Make sure you are sitting alone at your computer for this one!
30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto had fans distracted once again during a recent concert appearance. Although many were transfixed on the singer's impressive abs, that quickly changed during one special song.
When it was time for "End of All Days," people's eyes moved quickly over his six-pack and straight to his crotch. Oscar winner Jared Leto revealed the impressive size of his junk, and not the in the trunk variety.
"Seduction is my game," is what he sang as he grabbed hold of his penis so we could all see what a big boy he is.
Reports say the audience started screaming and cheering, well who wouldn't?!
Have a Slutty Sunday Everyone!

"Fashion Police" Will Still Be On Patrol

Pull Over In The Name Of Fashion: Fashion Police

Joan RiversFashion Police legacy will still go on without her. Cue My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, kidding, I am sure Joan would appreciated the joke though...

E! Announced recently after a lot of consideration, Rivers' colleagues came to the conclusion that the show must go on.

"We decided, with Melissa Rivers' blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue," the statement continued. "Fashion Police will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time."

Joan was the face of the show and her high heels are big ones to fill. 

"They are looking at different scenarios, a lot of that will be up to [Melissa] and how she's feeling and how she decides what she wants to do, along with the execs here at E!. There is no word now -- they are seeing what Fashion Police looks like without Joan."

Fashion Police will not be the same without Joan, how could it? She was one of a kind, but her legacy should continue and will, that's the way she would have wanted it.

Keep Calm And Joan Rivers

Franken//Fake v Face/Off


In the history of film making there has always been the movie where some monster, superhero or horror character versus another.

King Kong v Godzilla, Freddy v Jason and the upcoming Batman v Superman. Thus it is only fitting that the make-up competition geared towards the abovementioned genres Face/Off on the Syfy Network has it's own versus, Franken//Fake!



Franken // Fake focuses on Joe Castro, a special effects artist who saw what was taking place during filming and came to the conclusion that he “was not part of a true competition.” The incident occurred on May 5, 2012, but it is being told for the first time by Steven Escobar, a veteran editor for reality television and documentary filmmaker.
“I work in reality television and in my opinion, I have never seen such twisted and grotesque behavior from the show’s producers on any show I’ve worked on,” Escobar said in the press release.
Through interviews, real footage, and reenactments, the documentary will show what lead to Castro leaving the series and how the executive producers have tried to keep him quiet about the whole thing.

Franken//Fake is an interesting and entertaining documentary that I recommend, there was never a dull moment.

Something I personally liked in particular was when reality TV veteran Escobar broke down the editing of a scene in very specific detail.

No, it's not that I didn't know producers and studios do that, it was how Mr. Escobar could pinpoint it so vividly since he has the expertise behind him.
Frankenfake is now available on Vimeo On Demand. 

Rent and watch this controversial documentary that SyFy and Face Off do not want to you see at:
