“THE CLEVELAND SHOW” RECRUITS AN ALL-STAR BASKETBALL VOICE CAST

FOR A SLAM DUNK THIS SEASON

Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki,

Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade to Guest-Voice on Hit Animated Series

Kanye West Returns on Season Premiere of THE CLEVELAND SHOW

Airing Sunday, September 26, on FOX

Basketball superstars Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade will lend their voice talents to an upcoming episode of THE CLEVELAND SHOW airing this winter on FOX.

In the “A Short Story and a Tall Tale” episode, CLEVELAND (Mike Henry) and DONNA (Sanaa Lathan) celebrate Valentine’s Day with a trip to Los Angeles after scoring courtside seats to the all-star basketball game featuring Garnett, Howard, James, Nash, Nowitzki, O’Neal and Wade. Caught up in the excitement, Cleveland gets rowdy and talks smack to the players from the sideline throughout the game. The basketball champs, feeling hurt, seek revenge by paying a surprise visit to Stoolbend and putting Cleveland in his place.

Additional guest stars stopping by during the sophomore season of THE CLEVELAND SHOW include Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Tony Hawk, Robert Rodriguez and cast members from the hit series GLEE. Also, T-Pain, will.i.am, Carl Reiner, David Lynch, Will Forte and Jamie Kennedy will have reccurring roles this season.

Together, Cleveland and Kenny write, record and perform a new hit single, “Be-Cleve in Yourself.” The track burns up the charts and ignites Kenny’s new rap career, but leaves Cleveland behind in the dust.

“To all of our loyal fans and friends: It is with profound sadness — regret — we announce that Mike Portnoy, our lifelong drummer and friend, has decided to leave Dream Theater.

The Dresden Dolls Kick Off Fall US Tour
With Special 10^th Anniversary Halloween Show in NYC!

Tickets On Sale Today (9/9) at  www.dresdendolls.com

After a long hiatus, The Dresden Dolls are thrilled to announce their first live tour in 3 years! The pioneering and influential “punk cabaret” duo comprised of Amanda Palmer (piano, vocals) and Brian Viglione (drums, guitar, bass) will be kicking off a few weeks of dates starting on Halloween at Irving Plaza in NYC. The date marks the exact 10th anniversary of the birth of the band (Viglione met Palmer on Halloween night of 2000, at an art/salon party at Palmer’s house, at which she was playing her solo songs on piano.) “Amanda’s songwriting was so brilliant and raw, I couldn’t have designed a more perfectly suited counterpart. I knew then I’d found my musical accomplice.”, says Viglione. They will also make a stop in New Orleans for a special gulf oil spill relief-benefit for BTNEP, an organization that is working to preserve, protect, and restore the Barataria and Terrebonne estuaries of Louisiana.
�
Since The Dolls’ last performance (which was at Rock The Vote in DC on the Inauguration Day of President Obama), Palmer has been tirelessly busy building her solo career and online empire, centered around the 2008 release of her Ben Folds-Produced solo album “Who Killed Amanda Palmer”. The album was accompanied by a hardback-book of the same name and included a collection of dead photographs of Palmer and short stores by author Neil Gaiman (to whom Palmer recently became engaged). Palmer also recently released a donation-based Radiohead covers ukulele EP titled “Amanda Palmer Performs the Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele”, setting the tech community abuzz about how a donation-based model can earn a mid-level artist a living wage.  Before they embark on tour, Palmer will be starring as the Emcee in the American Repertory Theater’s production of Kander & Ebb’s dark weimar musical “Cabaret”. The production opened August 31, 2010 and runs through October 29. Many of the dates are already sold out. More information can be found HERE on A.R.T.’s site.
�
“The time apart has done nothing but given both of us an appreciation of how incredibly special and powerful our band is,” says Palmer. “Our live musical chemistry is completely unique, almost magical, and we don’t take that for granted. I can’t wait to get on a stage with Brian again. Nobody hits the drums like that man – he’s in a class all his own. And when we play together live, we create an entire world we can’t otherwise create.”

Meanwhile, drummer/producer and talented musical jack-of-all-trades Brian Viglione has appeared on 30 albums since 2008, most notably, Nine Inch Nails’ “Ghosts I–IV”. Viglione’s latest hard-hitting album, “Face Of The Sun”, which he produced and co-wrote, is available digitally via Bandcamp  and will be featured on his new website , www.brianviglione.com. Amidst the busy recording and teaching schedule, he’s toured internationally with The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Franz Nicolay, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Martin Bisi, Botanica, and The Cliks.  “A great strength of the band has always been that we’ve always given each other time to explore creative areas outside The Dresden Dolls, then bring what we’ve learned back to the table. Our love for the music and playing together is mirrored by the continual support of our fans, and we’re more than ready to deliver the goods to them. ”
�
The current wave of theatrical artists are citing The Dolls and their flamboyant emotional and theatrical antics as an inspiration, from up-and-coming theatrical-pop artist and Dolls’ fan Marina & The Diamonds to Lady Gaga (who lists The Dresden Dolls as an influence on her MySpace).

“It’s been really inspiring to see an evolution towards theatrical freedom among indie bands over the last ten years”, says Palmer. “When we were starting out in 2000, we were surrounded by the likes of The Vines and The Strokes. People often wrote us off as a gimmick because of our weird theatrical bent. Now we’re surrounded by comrades…Antony, The Scissor Sisters, The Decembrists, Arcade Fire, CocoRosie, the list goes on and on. People aren’t as afraid take risks onstage. It’s inspiring, and I’m proud we’ve played our little part in the continuum of empowered freaky people.”

RIHANNA COMPLETES NEW STUDIO ALBUM, LOUD, ARRIVING NOVEMBER 16th ON DEF JAM RECORDINGS

“ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD)” FIRST LEAD SINGLE GOES TO RADIO AND CLUBS, SEPTEMBER 7th, UPTEMPO TRACK PRODUCED BY STARGATE

Rihanna makes chart history in 2010 with #1 “Rude Boy”:

• First female artist of the past decade to chart six #1’s on the Hot 100

• Ties Madonna with seven #1’s on the Hot Dance Airplay chart

Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna ties her with Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga for most #1’s (six) on Pop Songs Radio Airplay chart

  No sooner had world-class megastar Rihanna wrapped up the final show of her sold-out “Last Girl On Earth Tour” in Chicago last week, than she turned her attention to her brand new fifth studio album on Def Jam Recordings. LOUD, set to arrive on November 16th, has been described by insiders as a return to the uptempo dance grooves of her earlier records.

 Setting the scene for LOUD is the first lead single, “Only Girl (In the World),” which goes to radio and clubs today, September 7th.  The uptempo  track is produced by Stargate, the Norwegian team whose career has been intertwined with Rihanna (and her fellow Def Jam hitmaker Ne-Yo) since 2006, including “Unfaithful,” “Don’t Stop the Music,” “Hate That I Love You” (featuring Ne-Yo), “Take a Bow,” and her most recent #1 global smash, “Rude Boy.” 

 Earlier this spring, the RIAA double-platinum “Rude Boy” (the fifth multi-platinum certified song of Rihanna’s career) hit #1 on a slew of charts – including Billboard’s Hot 100 and Hot 100 Airplay, and MediaBase’s Pop, Hot Dance Radio, Hot Dance Clubs, Rhythm, and Urban charts.  With “Rude Boy”’s success, Rihanna became the first female artist of the past decade to chart six #1’s on the Hot 100 – and tied Madonna in first place with seven #1’s on the Hot Dance Airplay chart (launched in 2003).

 Prior to “Rude Boy,” 2009’s “Russian Roulette” also made chart history for Rihanna - as her 12th Billboard Hot 100 career hit, placing her second (after Beyoncé) among female Hot 100 artists in the decade since 2000.  After “Rude Boy,” Rihanna was back on the charts as featured artist on Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” – which hit #1 on the Pop Songs Radio Airplay chart, and tied Rihanna for the most #1’s (six) on the chart, with Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.

 LOUD follows-up Rated R (November 2009) and its sequel Rated R: Remixed (May 2010).  Previously, the double-platinum Good Girl Gone Bad (May 2007) contained the Grammy-winning global #1 hit “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z), then “Shut Up and Drive,” “Hate That I Love You” (featuring Ne-Yo), and “Don’t Stop the Music.”  The CD+DVD package Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (January 2009) continued the hits with the #1 “Take A Bow,” the #1 “Disturbia” and Top 20 “Rehab.”  Good Girl Gone Bad was the third album release in less than two years by Barbados native Rihanna, who turned 22 on February 20th.  It followed-up 2006’s RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, which contained the back-to-back hits, “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful”; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005, Music Of the Sun, featuring the world-wide smash, “Pon De Replay.”

KARA DIOGUARDI DEPARTS “AMERICAN IDOL”

Kara DioGuardi is stepping down from her role as a judge on AMERICAN IDOL. DioGuardi joined AMERICAN IDOL as a judge in the series’ eighth season.

“I felt like I won the lottery when I joined AMERICAN IDOL two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave IDOL,” said DioGuardi. “I am very proud to have been associated with AMERICAN IDOL – it has truly been an amazing experience. I am grateful to FOX, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, as well as the cast, crew and contestants, for all they have given to me.

She will be missed, and we wish her continued success.”

By Lena Lamoray

SONS OF ANARCHY FX OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: FX’s original series, Sons of Anarchy, is an adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones that explores a notorious outlaw motorcycle club’s (MC) desire to protect its livelihood while ensuring that their simple, sheltered town of Charming, California remains exactly that, Charming. The MC must confront threats from drug dealers, corporate developers, and overzealous law officers. Behind the MC’s familial lifestyle and legally thriving automotive shop is a ruthless and illegally thriving arms business. The seduction of money, power, and blood. Jackson ‘Jax’ Teller (Charlie Hunnam) is the MC’s vice-president who is tested by his growing apprehension for its lawlessness, Gemma Teller Morrow (Katey Sagal) is Jax’s force-of-nature mother, and Clarence ‘Clay’ Morrow (Ron Perlman) is Jax’s stepfather and MC president. The triangle of Mother, Son, and Stepfather will ultimately reveal the dark secrets in this family’s past and the lengths they will go to protect their sins. This season begins with SAMCRO feeling powerless over Abel’s kidnapping, especially Jax, whose grief sends him into deeper turmoil over his future with the club. The search for Abel sends our guys to Ireland, where Jax faces not only the Irish Republican Army, but an untold personal history as well. Meanwhile, still on the lam, Gemma is hit with some unexpected news and risks her freedom to deal with it.

Murderdolls are preparing to release their latest ghastly opus, Women and Children Last, which has emerged from the seedy underbelly where the questionable yet fun types like to camp out, on Tuesday, August 31.

Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison plays guitar here, showing off a different side of his musical personality. After eight years, he and his partner-in-sleaze-rock, singer Wednesday 13, reunite. Batten down the hatches and hide your daughters…

…On the album, Joey and Wednesday tear through unforgettable tracks like “My Dark Place Alone,” “Death Valley Superstars,” “Summertime Suicide” and “Drug Me To Hell,” to name a few. Those are my faves, but go ahead, check it out for yourself and pick your own damn favorite. Women and Children Last exists in an evil little place tucked somewhere in a back alley behind the thrash, glam, punk and arena rock super highways, and Murderdolls will rip pop culture a new one. Don’t try and put up a fight. Save your energy for rocking out to Women and Children Last. It’s best to just give in to the Murderdolls.

Murderdolls will be embarking on their first tour in over half-a-decade as special guests on the Gruesome Twosome Tour with Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper beginning September 30,

The devilish band will show no signs of road rust, as they dive back onto the stage, cranking out their ghoulishly glammy punk rock. The Murderdolls played a pair of much ballyhooed shows in Los Angeles in June; the shows incited so much interest that fans were calling the venues from all over the globe, clamoring for more information and details the moment the shows were announced.

RIHANNA’S LAST GIRL ON EARTH TOUR with KE$HA took a swing by the Comcast Center in MA and delivered one of the best performances that I have ever seen.  Rihanna gave her fans more in the first few songs then most artists do in an entire set.

 ‘FUNERAL FAB’ aka FABOLOUS RELEASES THERE IS NO COMPETITION 2: THE GRIEVING MUSIC MIXTAPE – COLLABORATION WITH DJ DRAMA – AUGUST 31^st ON DESERT STORM/DEF JAM RECORDINGS

EXPANDED VERSION OF TINC2: THE FUNERAL SERVICE – #1 MOST-DOWNLOADED MIXTAPE OF 2010 – ADDS 3 NEW BONUS TRACKS, INCLUDING NEW SINGLE & VIDEO, “LIGHTS OUT”

In advance of Loso’s Way 2 full-length album, to be released this December

Follow-up to Loso’s Way of 2009 – career first #1 Soundscan debut, including #2 rap/R&B/pop crossover smash “Throw It In The Bag” featuring The-Dream

‘THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS’ 5-PART VIDEO SERIES BURIES THE COMPETITION, CO-DIRECTED BY ARISTOTLE TORRES AND FUNERAL FAB

“Mr. R.I.P.,’ first video in the series, shot at NY’s biggest cemetery, receives over 1.6 million views in the first 24 hours after its premiere

            (August 18, 2010 – New York, NY)  Grammy nominated multi-platinum Def Jam rapper Fabolous takes it to the streets as he hooks up with DJ Drama and LiveMixtapes.com for the release of THERE IS NO COMPETITION 2: THE GRIEVING MUSIC MIXTAPE, set for August 31^st release on Def Jam.  The Mixtape sets the stage for the December release of the full-length album Loso’s Way 2, the follow-up to Loso’s Way, the first #1 Soundscan debut of his career, which entered the Billboard 200 albums chart at #1 in August 2009.

            TINC2: THE GRIEVING MUSIC MIXTAPE – a collector’s item for Loso’s fans – is the officially released expanded version of TINC2: THE FUNERAL SERVICE, which won critical acclaim as the #1 most-downloaded mixtape of 2010.  The Mixtape adds three new bonus tracks, “Body Count,” “You Be Killin Em,” and “Lights Out,” the new single and video by ‘Funeral Fab.’  Writing in the New York Times, Jon Caramanica described the original mixtape as “[an] impressive… concept record” earlier this year.

            At the core of THERE IS NO COMPETITION 2 are ‘The Funeral Arrangements,’ a five-part viral video series of original clips co-directed by Aristotle Torres and Fabolous, in which the TINC2 mixtape is brought to life in a bevy of stills and interviews.  Loso’s alter ego Funeral Fab takes his fans on a dramatic journey through dark New York landmarks in preparation for the funeral of any and all hip-hop competitors.  Funeral Fab buries them all in an intense funeral service that culminates the video series.

            Following its premiere in March, the first video, “Mr. R.I.P.” – filmed at the biggest cemetery in New York City – received over 1.6 million views in its first 24 hours of release, and was praised by GQ, who described Funeral Fab as “dressed to kill.”  In the second video “Body Ya,” he has been diagnosed with a severe case of body ya, a disease that only the most stylish and fly can obtain.  Under strict quarantine by his physician, he is warned to not leave his apartment, but he disregards the advice and heads out into the world.  Anyone and everyone who looks at Funeral Fab passes out due to his incomparable style.  “I’m Raw,” the third video is street smart and lyrically savvy with one objective – to let the haters know that he is on top of the game and he is raw.  The fourth and fifth videos, “Tonight X Love Come Down” take place in a high society nightclub rampant with champagne bottles, models and strippers. 

            THERE IS NO COMPETITION 2 contains guest appearances from hip-hop notables Nicki Minaj, Red Cafe, Paul Cain, and many others.  The tracks include: “The Wake,” “I’m Raw,” “Body Ya,” “Hard” featuring Kobe, Paul Cain, and LA The Darkman, “Oh Let’s Do It,” “Suicide 2” featuring Paul Cain and Freck Billionaire, “It’s Goin’ Down” featuring Freck Billionaire, “Roger That” featuring Freck Billionaire, “Love Come Down,” “Popular Demand” featuring Paul Cain, “Mr. R.I.P.,” “Body Bag” featuring Cam’Ron and Vado, “Lloyd Banks” featuring Juelz Santana and Fabolous, “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley,” “For the Money” featuring Nicki Minaj, “Tonight” featuring Red Café, “All the Way Turnt Up” featuring Trey Songz, “Say Somethin’ Nigga,” “Funeral Service Music” featuring Kobe, Paul Cain, Red Café, and Willie The Kid, “Bring Death to Em’,” and “Exhibit F.”

            Loso’s Way, the fifth studio album by Fabolous provided an intimate glimpse into the rise of the Brooklyn-born rapper, exploring the perils that came with managing the transition from Bed-Stuy street life to one of legitimacy.  Loso’s Way also encompassed his first long-form video project, a 30-minute DVD counterpart that was packaged as a bonus disc in the first run limited-edition deluxe versions of the album.  The first single, “Throw It In The Bag” featuring fellow Def Jam artist The-Dream (and produced by Tricky Stewart) rose in Billboard to #2 Rap, #4 R&B, and #14 on the Hot 100.

            Loso’s Way followed-up From Nothing To Something, RIAA gold Def Jam debut album by Fabolous (released June 2007).  The album earned him the first #1 debuts of his career on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts, on the strength of the RIAA platinum #1 rap/R&B/pop crossover smash “Make Me Better” featuring Def Jam artist Ne-Yo (produced by Timbaland).  The track made headlines in 2007, when it took over the #1 Urban spot from fellow Def Jam artist Rihanna’s “Umbrella.”

RYKO REMEMBERS COMEDIAN BILL HICKS

THE ESSENTIAL COLLECTION IN STORES SEPTEMBER 14

2 CD/ 2 DVD Box Set Containing his Most Cherished Stand-Up, Exclusive Material from Family Archives, Songs by Hicks and Liner Notes by Henry Rollins, Eric Bogosian, Paul Outhwaite and Clive Anderson

Ryko is proud to announce the release of The Essential Collection, a four disc set (2 CD / 2 DVD) − out September 14^th, 2010 on Ryko − that encompasses Bill Hicks’ short but influential career as a satirist, social critic and stand-up comedian. The package contains double DVD discs with over five hours of footage from Bill Hicks’ personal archives including rare, never-before-seen performances from the early 80‘s, the cult short film Ninja Bachelor Party (starring Bill Hicks, Kevin Booth and David Johndrow), in-depth interviews with Hicks and a photo gallery from his family’s keepsakes. The 2 CD discs offer over two hours of his best stand-up material with never-before-released performance pieces from a San Ramon, CA show recorded by Bill Hicks that was found in his archives. The box set also features new liner notes written by family members as well as renowned figures (including Henry Rollins, Eric Bogosian, noted UK author Paul Outhwaite, and UK journalist/tv personality, Clive Anderson), and a download card containing original song recordings by Hicks (that were mastered at Abbey Road Studios – London, England) entitled, Lo-Fi Troubadour.

Excerpts from liner notes:

“Bill Hicks had an unerring ability to find the lie, shine a bright light on it and while doing so, creating some incredible and lasting comedy you will ever hear…If Bill were around now, America would be a better place.” – Henry Rollins

“Bill Hicks was a visionary. But more importantly, he was fucking funny. Like tears-in-your-eyes, fall-out-of your-chair funny. He painted word pictures that were so filled with truth, so on the mark, that they became part of your consciousness for life.” – Eric Bogosian

Bill Hicks’ extraordinary social commentary is as fresh and stunning today as it was in the 80‘s and 90’s.  He engaged his audiences by confronting mainstream beliefs and hypocrisy in a manner that provoked thought as well as laughter. Hicks called himself “Chomsky with dick jokes” and The New Yorker described him as an “exhilarating comic thinker in a renegade class all his own.” Hicks’ career was short in span, but powerful in impact. His rigorous touring schedule from the early 80’s into the early 90’s often tallied over 300 nights per year. He appeared on Late Night with David Letterman eleven times during his career. He also gained a dedicated fan base in the UK where he currently is listed as the UK’s 4th Greatest Comedian in their 2010 poll (conducted by Channel 4).

GORDON RAMSAY, JOE BASTIANICH AND GRAHAM ELLIOT ANNOUNCE THE “MASTERCHEF” TOP 14

Teacher, Software Engineer, Construction Worker and Doctor Among Finalists

Competition Continues Next Week with a Two-Hour Episode on a New Night Wednesday, August 18, on FOX

After scouring the nation for the best amateur cooks in America, the judges of MASTERCHEF have chosen the 14 hopefuls who will compete for the title of America’s first-ever MASTERCHEF. The Top 14 are Sheetal Bhagat, Tony Carbone, Jake Gandolfo, Sharone Hakman, Jenna Hamiter, Kim Dung “Slim” Huynh, Faruq Jenkins, Mike Kim, Lee Knaz, David Miller, Whitney Miller, Tracy Nailor, Avis White and Sheena Zadeh.

The competition heats up next when the MASTERCHEF Top 14 enter the kitchen on a new night and time beginning Wednesday, Aug. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Throughout the season, the home cooks will undergo a series of high-pressure individual and team challenges from creating incredible gourmet dishes using mystery ingredients and identifying components in a complex dish to providing an all-American send-off meal for hundreds of U.S. Marines and catering a high-end wedding. The MASTERCHEF judges – Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot – are looking for the contestant who possesses a refined palate as well as the right blend of skill, passion and creativity.

Below are the Top 14 home cooks on MASTERCHEF:

Cooking inspiration: My mom had the biggest influence on me. Everything she made used fresh ingredients; there was nothing canned or processed. I have carried her philosophy of healthy eating using only pure fresh ingredients into my cooking today.

Cooking inspiration: My mother and grandmother. They spoiled me with great food growing up, so I knew that when I got older if I wanted to keep eating as good as I did growing up, then I’d need to learn to cook like them.

Cooking inspiration: My mother and Julia Child. Some of my earliest memories are of standing on a stool and canning vegetables from the family garden with my mom while watching “The French Chef” on television.

Cooking inspiration: I’d have to say I inspired myself. When I was a kid, my mother was not part of our lives, and my dad was always working to support us. When my grandma wasn’t around, I had to go into our fridge and make something out of nothing. I taught myself how to create dishes at a very young age. This “survival” mode was how I started out, but cooking then became a creative outlet that I haven’t been able to stop since. 

Cooking inspiration: My 85-year-old grandmother, who is a successful homemaker with nine children and 25 grandchildren. She’s has always been the gracious hostess, turning out spectacular desserts and parties for decades. I am thankful and privileged to still enjoy moments with her in the kitchen. 

Cooking inspiration: My mom. As a child, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying to see over the stove to find out what she was cooking. 

Cooking inspiration: My mother and grandmother. My fondest memories of the holidays are staying up late and waking up early to help cook. The time I was able to spend with them in the kitchen was priceless. 

Cooking inspiration: While my parents were instrumental in inspiring me to cook, fishing also played an important role. I started deep-sea fishing when I moved to California, and as I encountered a plethora of the freshest fish imaginable – from Yellowtail to Pacific Sheepshead and more – my understanding, passion and inspiration for cooking reached a whole new level.  

Cooking inspiration: I grew up in a family of non-cooks, but growing up in Israel I would watch hours of cooking shows. My first memories are of satellite-broadcasted French channels that would air cooking shows with Joël Robuchon and Jacques Pépin. I didn’t understand a word they were saying, but I was completely fascinated by them. 

Cooking inspiration: My mother. I always loved helping her in the kitchen – whether it was doing prep work, making gravy or doing dishes. As a teenager, I was vegetarian, and my mom accommodated that – she loves making people happy through food.

Cooking inspiration: My great-grandmother. My family would eat lunch at her house every Sunday when I was younger. I spent hours watching her make homemade biscuits, seafood gumbo, lemon meringue pies and countless other Southern favorites. 

Cooking inspiration: My mother is the person who taught me the fundamentals of cooking. When I create a dish or prepare a family favorite, I am carrying on her legacy and honoring her memory by doing something she loved. I am grateful we were able to share that time.

Cooking Inspiration: My grandmother always instilled in me the importance of family. She also felt it was important that I knew how to cook, clean, pay bills, and take care of myself at a young age. The one thing she wanted me to be really good at was cooking and baking, so she spent countless hours teaching me how to do just that. I am so grateful for those life lessons because it has made me the great cook that I am.

Cooking Inspiration: My first urge to cook came from watching cooking shows on television, but I was truly inspired to cook when I saw the smile on my dad’s face the first time I put dinner on the table for my family. 

Additionally, recipes inspired by the MASTERCHEF Top 14 will be featured in the upcoming “MasterChef Cookbook” published by Rodale Books, set to be released on September 1. For more information, please visit www.fox.com/masterchef.

MASTERCHEF is produced by Reveille, Shine TV and One Potato Two Potato and is based on a format created by Franc Roddam and Shine TV. Shine International handles distribution for the MASTERCHEF format. Elisabeth Murdoch, Franc Roddam, Mark Koops, Howard T. Owens, Gordon Ramsay, Adeline Ramage Rooney, Pat Llewellyn, JD Roth and Todd Nelson serve as executive producers.

NIGEL LYTHGOE RETURNS TO “AMERICAN IDOL” AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Nigel Lythgoe will return as an executive producer of AMERICAN IDOL, television’s No. 1 series. Lythgoe joins executive producers Simon Fuller, Cecile Frot-Coutaz and Ken Warwick for the milestone 10^th anniversary season of AMERICAN IDOL, premiering January 2011 on FOX.

“Since we launched the original ‘Pop Idol’ in England, I’ve remained close with Simon Fuller. Working as executive producer on AMERICAN IDOL for its first seven years not only was an inspirational journey into the heart of American pop culture, it opened my eyes to the untapped potential of the incredibly dynamic young people in this world. I have been able to continue discovering raw talent on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, which I co-created with Simon,” said Lythgoe. “AMERICAN IDOL became a juggernaut of epic proportions, but to me it was always like home. I am elated and honored to be rejoining childhood friend and fellow executive producer Ken Warwick, and look forward to creating more magic.”

“I am so happy to be welcoming Nigel back to the IDOL family. He is, without a doubt, the most accomplished executive producer I have ever worked with. Nigel helped to define the show I created almost 10 years ago, mentoring our judging panel and nurturing our talent. His unbridled passion has been missed,” said AMERICAN IDOL creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “This year, with IDOL celebrating our 10^th season as the world’s biggest and most powerful TV show, I felt it was an important time to collaborate with Nigel once again to help redefine AMERICAN IDOL and take us through to the next incarnation of the show.”

Nigel Lythgoe is co-founder of Big Red 2 Entertainment, a company he set up with IDOL creator Simon Fuller and CKX. Lythgoe is also co-creator and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning series SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. His other executive producer credits include seven seasons of AMERICAN IDOL. While serving as the show’s executive producer, AMERICAN IDOL was nominated for 47 Emmy Awards, and in 2007, received the prestigious Governors’ Award, the Television Academy’s highest honor, for IDOL GIVES BACK, which he executive produced.

AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive produced by Simon Fuller, Founder, 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; and Nigel Lythgoe, President, Big Red 2 Entertainment.

ROBERT MICHAEL MORRIS AND MEL RODRIGUEZ JOIN CAST OF NEW FOX COMEDY “RUNNING WILDE” DAVID CROSS TO PLAY RECURRING CHARACTER

Series Premieres Tuesday, September 21, on FOX

Robert Michael Morris and Mel Rodriguez have joined the cast of the new FOX comedy series RUNNING WILDE. Additionally, David Cross will reunite with “Arrested Development” co-star Will Arnett and executive producers Mitch Hurwitz and Jim Vallely for a recurring role.

RUNNING WILDE premieres Tuesday, Sept. 21 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Morris will portray MR. LUNT, STEVEN WILDE’s (Arnett) fiercely protective former “manny”-turned-secretary, and Rodriguez will play MIGO, Steve’s driver and life-long friend who is not above taking advantage of his employer’s fiscal irresponsibility. Cross will recur as ANDY, an “eco-terrorist” who has been living in the Amazon rainforest with his girlfriend, EMMY KADUBIC (Keri Russell), and will serve as a romantic foil to Emmy’s first love: Steve. Cross is set to appear in seven of the first 13 episodes of the season.

Robert Michael Morris’ breakthrough role was as flamboyant hair stylist “Mickey Deane” opposite Lisa Kudrow in the critically acclaimed cable series “The Comeback.” His additional television credits include “Brothers & Sisters,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Class,” “Arrested Development” and “Will & Grace.”

Mel Rodriguez’s television work includes recurring roles on “Big Love,” “FlashForward,” “The Middle” and “George Lopez.” His film credits include “Little Miss Sunshine” and “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.” Rodriguez recently guest-starred on the cable comedy series “Workaholics.”

David Cross is best known for his portrayal of “Tobias Fünke” on the Emmy Award-winning “Arrested Development.” This fall brings the premiere of his original comedy series, “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.” The show follows the awkward misadventures of an American office temp and convenient liar named Todd Margaret, who bluffs his way into a senior sales position heading up the London office for a new energy drink. Cross created the show and serves as writer, producer and star – multiple positions he also filled on his previous original program – the animated series, “Freak Show.” He won an Emmy for his work as a writer on “The Ben Stiller Show,” and earned three additional Emmy nominations for the cult-favorite series “Mr. Show with Bob and David,” which he co-created and wrote with Bob Odenkirk. His film credits include “Men in Black,” “Men in Black II,” “Waiting for Guffman,” “Ghost World,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “School for Scoundrels,” “I’m Not There” and “Year One.”  Cross is also an author whose first book, entitled “I Drink for a Reason,” spent multiple weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List.

RUNNING WILDE is the new romantic comedy series centering on a spoiled, filthy rich playboy who desperately tries to win the heart of his humanitarian childhood sweetheart by helping raise her 12-year-old daughter. The series stars Will Arnett, Keri Russell, Stefania Owen, Peter Serafinowicz, Robert Michael Morris and Mel Rodriguez.

RUNNING WILDE is produced by Tantamount Studios, Five Hole Pictures and Principato-Young Management in association with Lionsgate Television. The series is written and created by Mitch Hurwitz, Jim Vallely and Will Arnett. Hurwitz, Vallely, Arnett, Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Peter Principato, Paul Young, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo serve as executive producers.

ELLEN DEGENERES BOWS OUT AS JUDGE ON “AMERICAN IDOL”

Ellen DeGeneres has decided to bow out from her role as a judge on AMERICAN IDOL next season.  DeGeneres served as a judge during the ninth season of IDOL, the No. 1 hit series on television.

“A couple months ago, I let FOX and the AMERICAN IDOL producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me,” said DeGeneres. “I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next.  It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for.   I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on IDOL and I am very grateful for the year I had.  I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

“We love Ellen and understand and support her decision to bow out of IDOL,” said Peter Rice, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Networks Group.  “We were fortunate to receive the humor, energy and love for talent that she brought to the show.”

“It was a joy to work with Ellen,” added Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “She brought an incredible spirit to IDOL and was a great new addition to the team.  While we’re saddened by her decision, we are very appreciative that she gave us ample notice so that we could work through it together.” 

“I loved Ellen’s passion for the artists and her nurturing skills,” said IDOL creator and executive producer Simon Fuller.  “She brought honesty and optimism to our judging panel and I will miss her greatly.”

“We will miss Ellen, she has been the consummate professional throughout her time on the show, and she’ll always be part of the AMERICAN IDOL family,” added Cecile Frot-Coutaz, IDOL executive producer.

AMERICAN IDOL is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment; and executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc. and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.

JAPANESE ROCK BAND D’ESPAIRSRAY  NEW ALBUM MONSTERS VIA DIGITAL PLATFORMS OUT NOW!

TOKYO’S HOTTEST ROCK ‘N’ ROLL EXPORT TOTOUR NORTH AMERICA BEGINNING AUGUST 3

 Los Angeles, CA: Japan’s unstoppable D’espairsray, easily one of the hottest rock ‘n’ roll exports to come barreling out of the Far East in recent memory, are gearing up for a flurry of activity in the United States and beyond, as the band looks to further conquer the international marketplace. Domination, anyone? That’s at the top of  D’espairsray’s list as they are looking to take over one city, one state, one territory, one country at a time.  And they can’t be stopped.

D’espairsray – vocalist Hizumi, guitarist Karyu, bassist Zero and drummer Tsukasa— will release their fourth studio album, Monsters, via digital platforms only on Tuesday, July 27 through Delicious Deli, an imprint of Universal Music. The band, which formed in 1999 and has impressively maintained a constant, single lineup since its inception, has been forging a path for itself in the past decade-plus of its existence.

“Garnet,” D’espairsray’s 2003 maxi-single, landed atop the Japanese Indie Chart, and by 2006 they had travelled to and played in nine countries, among them Germany, France, England, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland and the U.S., slowly but surely turning heads, making fans and planting seeds along the way.

D’espairsray also enjoyed a slot at the 2006 edition of the famed, annual Wacken Open Air Festival; they were the only Japanese band to grace the stage. The band also scored a plum gig at the 2008 “Taste of Chaos” tour, the lineup of which is a veritable “Who’s Who” of modern hard rock, performing in 34 U.S. cities exposing American kids to their thrilling style of Japanese metal with melodic tendencies.

Monsters, which was co-produced by D’espairsray, truly crosses genre-boundaries, the language barrier and cultural touchstones, since it blends stadium-ready hard rock hooks tinged with a razor-sharp industrial edge and threaded with new wave nuances! Monsters follows up the band’s 2009 release, the critically lauded Redeemer.

Monsters is rife with thunderous percussion, crunchy guitars and ultra catchy choruses, which D’espairsray fuses into one seamless, combustible cocktail, with lyrics sung in a mix of the band’s native Japanese spliced with English. The lyrics have a bit of an apocalyptic bend, referencing the selling of one’s soul, of fighting back against those who attempt to oppress you and erasing the system, all sent to chunky guitars! The result is a truly unique album that pledges allegiance to no single style of hard rock and one that follows its own rules, making Monsters an utterly refreshing listen from start to finish.

Any of the album’s 10 tracks could be a single, and the band appeals to fans of modern industrial and electronic-influenced artists like Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Fear Factory.  Rare is the band that can cross-pollinate so many genres without sounding like a complete mess, and D’espairsray are that band! “Death Point” will rock the listener to his or her core with its roaring boom, while “Love is Dead” is erected on a pulsing synth that’ll stick in your brain for days. “Thirteen” boasts a staccato riff and fist-pumping chant that’ll remind rivetheads why they were drawn to the industrial genre in the first place. No single mood dominates Monsters¸ making it a complete package of sounds and moods that never becomes predictable.

D’espairsray will be bringing their visas and passports for a US trek, the “Human-Clad Monsters” World Tour, which makes it way to North American shores on August 3^rd, beginning in Los Angeles and ending in Houston on August 17^th, making stops in Chicago, New York City and Atlanta along the way. The tour hits all major markets, which should assist in creating a even more of prominent profile for D’espairsray in the US market. Catch them while you can, for a little taste of Japanese cultural flair; it’s like D’espairsray brings the bright lights of Tokyo with them, dimming them just the right amount in order to match their chunky, visceral brand of hard rock.
The track listing for Monsters is as follows:

“Human-Clad Monsters”

“Death Point”

“Thirteen’

“Love is Dead”
“Devils’ Parade”

“Dope”

“Falling”
“Progress”

“Final Call”

“Abyss”

The dates for the “Human-Clad Monster” World Tour are as follows:

August 3 – The Roxy – Los Angeles, CA

August 4 – Slims – San Francisco, CA

August 6 – The Showbox – Seattle, WA

August 9 – The Bottom Lounge – Chicago, IL

August 11 – The Mod Club – Toronto, ONT

NATIONAL DANCE DAY ON SATURDAY, JULY 31 TO BE RECOGNIZED WITH OFFICIAL ACT OF CONGRESS

Grassroots Movement Created by SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Co-Creator and Judge Nigel Lythgoe

 Inaugural Event to Include Flash Mobs on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and at the Performance Arts Center in Los Angeles; Other Events to Take Place Nationwide

National Dance Day, a grassroots movement taking place on Saturday, July 31 that encourages the people of this nation to get up and move, is being recognized with an official act of Congress. Created by Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer and co-creator of the hit FOX series SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and founder of the Dizzy Feet Foundation, the aim of National Dance Day is to promote health and self-esteem through the art form of dance.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE airs Wednesdays (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) and Thursdays (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), a long-time proponent of healthy lifestyles, will introduce a National Dance Day resolution at a press conference on Saturday, July 31 in Washington, D.C., to promote dance education and physical fitness across the U.S.

In January, Congresswoman Norton introduced the Lifelong Improvements in Food and Exercise (LIFE) Act to promote exercise and diet changes. Norton’s LIFE bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to be a lead agency in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

“More than 30 percent of Americans are obese, and childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years,” said Norton. “Television shows such as SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE are not only entertaining but are also encouraging people to live a physically active lifestyle. Holding a National Dance Day in the nation’s capital is a terrific way to promote fitness and fight obesity.”

Additionally, Congresswoman Norton will host her own National Dance Day flash mob on the National Mall (between 3^rd St & 4^th St SW) from 1:00-5:00 PM featuring local dance enthusiasts, representatives from dance schools and organizations and former SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finalists.

“National Dance Day does not ‘belong’ to any single corporation, television show or charity,” said Lythgoe. “It belongs to the people. It will be up to the individuals, corporations and charities of this country to come up with ways to take part – wherever they may be and whatever their motivation: whether it’s to lose weight, raise money for a nonprofit or just have fun. It is my hope that countless exciting dance ideas will come to fruition on National Dance Day, like the world’s longest conga line in Miami or the world’s longest kick line in front of Radio City Music Hall or scores of breakdancers taking over the Venice boardwalk. The sky is the limit.”

The Dizzy Feet Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization co-founded in 2009 by Lythgoe, fellow SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE judge and film director/producer Adam Shankman, “Dancing With The Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba and actress Katie Holmes, whose mission is to elevate and standardize the quality of dance education throughout the U.S. The foundation’s contribution to the day is a viral video that includes instructional choreography by Emmy-nominated SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo. Click here to watch the video.

Dizzy Feet will host a flash mob at the Music Center at the Performance Arts Center of Los Angeles County (135 N. Grand Avenue) from 10:00 AM-Noon. All are encouraged to attend and participate. Celebrity attendance includes members of the Dizzy Feet board, choreographers and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finalists.

Acclaimed Graphic Artist Michael Schwab Creating Collectible Trading Cards Commemorating the 2010 Edition of TCM’s SUMMER UNDER THE STARS

 Exclusive Cards to be Showcased Online at http://tcm.com/summer

During August Festival that Features a Different Cinema Legend Each Day

Turner Classic Movies’ (TCM) has commissioned Michael Schwab, one of America’s most recognized graphic artists, to create a series of limited-edition collectible trading cards designed to commemorate the 2010 edition of the annual SUMMER UNDER THE STARS on-air festival in August.  The 31 exclusive card designs – one representing each star featured during the month-long programming event – will be showcased online starting August 1 at http://tcm.com/summer, the extensive online destination for SUMMER UNDER THE STARS.  In addition, TCM will be giving away 500 complete printed sets of the collectible trading cards through an online sweepstakes.

The Schwab card designs will serve as the primary graphic imagery on the SUMMER UNDER THE STARS website.  The cards feature Schwab’s signature technique of clean lines and bold colors, with the central figures shown in silhouette.  Among the films and actors to be featured in the card set are Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942), Steve McQueen in Bullitt (1968), Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8 (1960), Woody Strode in Sergeant Rutledge (1960), Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke (1967), Lee Remick in A Face in the Crowd (1957) and Clint Eastwood in Hang ‘Em High (1968).  Clicking on one of the cards will lead to a full view of the schedule for that card’s star, in-depth background, video clips and photos.

TCM is printing a limited number of collectible trading card sets to be given away to fans through an online sweepstakes.  The back of each printed card includes a quote from the movie and character featured, as well as a list of the star’s other films being shown.  Fans can enter for a chance to win a set of cards through http://tcm.com/summer.  Two sweepstakes drawings will be held, with 250 winners chosen in the middle of the month and another 250 chosen at the end of the month.

TCM’s trading card initiative follows on the heels of the network’s highly successful movie poster campaign last August, when the SUMMER UNDER THE STARS site featured re-imagined “summer blockbuster” movie posters touting classic titles like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), North by Northwest (1959) and The Magnificent Seven (1960).

“Like last year’s contemporary take on movie-posters, this year’s SUMMER UNDER THE STARS collectible card approach is a fun and fresh way to present iconic images from classic films,” said Richard Steiner, vice president of new media and TCM digital.  “These innovative designs by Michael Schwab capture the essence of each of our spotlighted stars with a simple and beautiful graphic image.  We’ve admired Michael’s career over many years and felt he was a perfect fit for TCM.  There is as much mystery as there is elegance in each of these images, like so many of the great performances of these timeless stars.”

“I am excited and very proud to be part of TCM’s Summer Under the Stars festival,” said Schwab.  “Creating each portrait has been an adventure.  At times, it felt as if some of these actors were here with me in the studio urging me on.”

OPETH TO RELEASE IN LIVE CONCERT AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL PERFORMING “EVOLUTION XX: AN OPETH ANTHOLOGY”

 “The remarkable Swedish group Opeth…[is] on a level where fantasy becomes art.” – New York Times

New York, NY: As part of the ongoing celebration of their 20^th anniversary, Sweden’s OPETH is releasing live footage and audio from the band’s recent performance at London’s famed Royal Albert Hall.  In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, due out 9/21/10, is a fierce testament to Opeth’s continued success in the progressive metal community. 

Twenty years and nine records into their legendary career, Opeth’s “progressively creative spirit” (ARTISTdirect) remains unwavering, propelling the band through the “Evolution XX: An Opeth Anthology” tour, which brought the Swedish titans to six of the world’s most unique venues, and now, with the release of In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, into the homes of their fans. 

The performance at the Royal Albert Hall (recorded on the 5^th of April, 2010) includes two sets, the first consisting of the band performing 2000’s now-classic, breakthrough epic, Blackwater Park in its entirety, and the second, a chronologically arranged selection of material from the rest of Opeth’s extensive catalogue, totaling almost three hours of music.  It is, like the rest of Opeth’s greatest work, “purposefully warped in all the right places” (Decibel). The front cover artwork concept pays tribute to Deep Purple´s Concerto for Group and Orchestra, underlining the band’s longstanding love for their prog-rock roots. 

Thinking back to the concert, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt says “Opeth had a magical night playing the Royal Albert Hall. It was a dream come true, and now afterwards, it still feels like a dream.  We got it all on film, and this, our third live recording and DVD might be my personal favorite. One couldn’t help to think of all the fantastic artists that played there over the years.  Looking back at this night of celebration brings me fond memories of our 20^th anniversary—this package is the delayed birthday present.  Enjoy!”

The release will be available as three very special configurations:

-       Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set, which includes:

• Double-DVD set of Opeth’s performance at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, in its entirety, including bonus features. 

• A set of four 180-gram LP’s of the concert’s live audio in its entirety. The vinyl is housed in black poly lined inner sleeves which are packaged as 2 double gatefold set with exclusive artwork.  Vinyl only available in this box set.

• Exclusive, numbered lithograph with artwork designed by Mikael Åkerfeldt and longtime Opeth designer, Travis Smith.

• 20-page, LP sized booklet printed on coated paper stock that chronicles the night’s events in photos.

DARK BLUE Season 2, 2 Hour Premiere August 4 on TNT 9pm EST

TNT’s Undercover Cop Drama DARK BLUE,

Starring Dylan McDermott and Executive Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer,

Returns for Second Action-Packed Season Aug. 4

In the world of law enforcement, being an undercover cop is among the most dangerous jobs.  It also happens to be a huge adrenaline rush, as shown by the elite team of detectives in TNT’s action-packed series DARK BLUE.  Golden Globe^Ò winner Dylan McDermott (The Practice) stars in this drama series from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, which returns for its second season with back-to-back episodes Wednesday, Aug. 4, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT). Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) joins the cast of the series, which also stars Omari Hardwick (TNT’s Saved), Logan Marshall-Green (The O.C.) and Nicki Aycox (Supernatural).

DARK BLUE follows the lives of an undercover team of Los Angeles police officers so covert, many of their own colleagues don’t even know they are involved.  The team is supervised by Lieutenant Carter Shaw (McDermott), who frequently butts heads with his superiors over the risks the team is prepared to take to bring down a target.  This summer, Carter will be forced to take orders from FBI Agent Alex Rice (Helfer) as they work together on a special joint task force.  Alex’s arrival will also set the stage for a major change in Carter’s personal life.

The undercover team includes Ty Curtis (Hardwick), whose job is forming a wedge between he and his wife; Dean Bendis (Marshall-Green), a shoot-from-the-hip officer who won’t hesitate to follow his own initiative if he doesn’t agree with an assignment; and Jaimie Allen (Aycox), a former patrol cop whose success in covering up her shady past is the main reason Carter originally chose her for his team.

Together, these undercover cops look to catch Los Angeles’ most notorious criminals, no matter what it takes. They understand, better than anyone, that to bring down a criminal underworld, one must first dive into its depths and get on the criminals’ level.  To do that, they socialize with seedy characters and spend much of their time pretending to be someone else, a task made all the more difficult when personal relationships develop both on and off the job.  These undercover officers are frequently faced with circumstances that strain the line between right and wrong.  When that happens, what matters is loyalty to fellow officers and the goal of finding the bad guys.

DARK BLUE is produced for TNT by Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Horizon Television, with Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman (the CSI series, Cold Case), Danny Cannon (the CSI series, Eleventh Hour), Doug Jung (Big Love) and Rick Eid (Law & Order) serving as executive producers.  KristieAnne Reed (The Forgotten) is co-executive producer.

Jerry Bruckheimer Television is one of the most successful production companies in the history of the medium, with innovative and powerful storytelling establishing new benchmarks in programming excellence.  Jerry Bruckheimer Television’s series have included C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation, C.S.I.: Miami, C.S.I.: NY, Cold Case, Without a Trace and the seven-time Emmy^® Award winner The Amazing Race and, for fall 2010, The Whole Truth and Chase.  In the 2005-2006 season, Jerry Bruckheimer Television had a record-breaking 10 series on network television, a feat unprecedented in nearly 60 years of television history.  Jerry Bruckheimer Television shows have garnered 88 Emmy Award nominations and 18 Emmys.

Warner Horizon Television (WHTV) is one of the entertainment industry’s fastest-growing television companies, specializing in the creation of scripted series for the cable marketplace, and primetime reality series for both network and cable.  Founded in 2006, this second production entity allows the Warner Bros. Television Group to expand its programming offerings and explore creative options made possible under a new business model.  For summer 2010 and the 2010–2011 season, WHTV is producing more than a dozen series.  WHTV’s unscripted series are The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and True Beauty for ABC, School Pride for NBC, High School Reunion for TV Land and Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew for MTV.  Scripted programs from WHTV are Dark Blue, Memphis Beat and Rizzoli & Isles for TNT, Pretty Little Liars for ABC Family, Rubicon for AMC and Unnatural History for Cartoon Network.

New York, NY: After a very successful Spring tour, iconic ‘80’s hard rockers Ratt are excited to continue their “World Infestation” with Germany’s Scorpions. 

Due to emergency surgery, vocalist Stephen Pearcy was recently forced to cancel a string of European dates; however, the Ratt family is happy to report he has made a full recovery and is eager to get back on the road.

“Despite the forced break with my surgery, I’m feeling better and being out here on tour with the Scorpions is rehabilitating, to say the least,” Pearcy said. “We’re doing different songs from Infestation and they are going over great!  We’re mixing up our set and kicking some ass. It’s a Scorpion sting with some Ratt ‘n’ Roll!

The upcoming tour supports April’s Infestation, which “plugs directly into the sound and spirit of their glory days” (Revolver).  The record is an aural assault armed with “killer tones and great technique” (Guitar Player).  Infestation debuted at #30 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart and #4 on the Top Hard Music chart. It is being hailed by many as one of the best albums of the band’s storied career. Check out the video for the single, “Best of Me,” which literally offers a sneak peek into the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.

Tour dates are as follows:

July 22 – Warehouse Live – Houston, TX

July 23 – AT&T Center – San Antonio, TX (w. Scorpions)

July 25 – Zoo Amphitheatre – Oklahoma City, OK (Rock N America Music Fest)

 KORN III: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE DEBUTS AT #2 ON BILLBOARD TOP 200

INTERNATIONAL NUMBERS TOP LAST RELEASE STATS

New York, NY: Korn’s ninth studio album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are, which Spin described as “packing pain by the pound,” debuted today at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 sales charts. The album sold 63,000 copies. The album also debuted at #1 on the Hard Music Chart, both top and current, and is #1 on the Current Alternative Chart, as well. Korn III is the band’s seventh album to land in the Top 5.

Internationally, Korn III debuted Top 5 in Austria, Canada, Japan, Germany and New Zealand, Top 10 in Australia, Mexico and Switzerland and Top 20 in France, Denmark and Holland, with several countries yet to report. In almost every International market, these chart positions have exceeded the chart debuts from their previous albums. 

Korn III has been universally praised, as it finds the Bakersfield, California band returning “to the sound and rawness of their first two records” (MetroMix.) The album certainly signifies a revisiting of Korn’s sturdy, firmly planted roots; they once again worked with producer Ross Robinson, who twiddled the knobs for their first two albums, yet Korn still play to the strengths and growth that they’ve experienced as a unit for the past two decades. Billboard proclaimed that Korn III “moves forward more than it retrenches” and “introduces some fresh dynamic sensibilities.” ARTISTdirect awarded the album five stars and declared that Korn IIII  has “that gripping catharsis that made millions of people believers on Korn and Life Is Peachy. However, Korn stand even stronger than they did during those first two masterpieces.”

Korn are currently on tour, co-headlining the main stage of the third annual Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which is enjoying a 30% uptick in sales this year, bucking the trend of a down summer touring season that is seeing several cancellations.

Korn is Jonathan Davis (vocals), Fieldy (bass), James “Munky” Shaffer (guitar) and Ray Luzier (drums).

LUDO GETS FRESH ON “WHIPPED CREAM,” NEW SINGLE WITH VIRAL VIDEO ON WILL FERRELL’s FUNNY OR DIE WEBSITE!

Lead track from PREPARE THE PREPARATIONS, second album on Island Records, due September 7^th  – follows 2008’s You’re Awful, I Love You, Top 5 Heatseekers debut

5-week, 29-city headlining tour opens September 9^th at the Metro in Chicago 

                                                                                            “I want it with whipped cream on it/ Baby, gimme gimme gimme your love…”

                                                                                                                                       – “Whipped Cream” by Ludo

After more than two years of road work in support of their major label album debut on Island Records in 2008 – Ludo returns to the racks with their long-awaited new album, PREPARE THE PREPARATIONS, arriving September 7^th.  Paving the way for their new album’s release is “Whipped Cream,” a new single breaking at rock radio formats, with a viral video that was featured on the front page of Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die comedy website: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/b456441be0/whipped-cream.

            With all the elements in place, Ludo will return to the road with a mammoth 29-city headlining U.S. tour, kicking off September 9^th at the Metro in Chicago, concluding five weeks later on October 15^th at the Eagles Club (The Rave) in Milwaukee.  In advance of the big tour, Ludo will play the biannual Pointfest in their hometown of St. Louis on August 14^th (with Stone Sour, Puddle of Mudd, Flyleaf), sponsored by alternative radio powerhouse KPNT 105.7, The Point.

            Ludo – Andrew Volpe (vocals, guitar), Tim Ferrell (guitar, vocals), Tim Convy (Moog synthesizer, key­boards, vocals), and Matt Palermo (drums, vocals) – won Best Alternative top honors at Clear Channel’s Best of NEW! 2008 Awards for “Love Me Dead,” the first Top 10 hit from their Island debut, You’re Awful, I Love You (released February 2008).

            They performed “Love Me Dead” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, then hopped onto the Warped Tour ’08 for 22 shows across North America, playing on the Hurley stage.  Relient K’s Uncle Fest Tour followed in the fall (with This Providence and House of Heroes).  Ludo wrapped up their premiere first year at Island Records with “Go-Getter Greg,” the second single from You’re Awful, I Love You.  The album rose to #5 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and sold over 100,000 copies.

            With “Go-Getter Greg” featured on AOL’s Music Mainpage, and added to FUSE’s Steven’s Untitled Rock Show, on mtvU, and on Music Choice, Ludo closed out the year with a very successful headlining coast-to-coast tour.  They hit the road again in 2009 for the Broken Bride Tour where they resurrected their 2005 rock opera and performed it in its entirety to the delight of long-time fans nationwide.  They then began the writing and recording for what would become PREPARE THE PREPARATIONS.

TWO ADVANCE SINGLES FROM NE-YO’s UPCOMING 4^th ALBUM, LIBRA SCALE, CINEMATIC NARRATIVE STORY SET FOR SEPTEMBER 21^st RELEASE ON DEF JAM RECORDINGS

Follows-up 2008 RIAA platinum #1 U.S./#1 UK Year Of The Gentleman – with platinum hits “Closer,” two-time Grammy winner “Miss Independent,” and “Mad”

3-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Ne-Yo’s movie career over the past five years has had a profound effect on his work as a composer – revealed in the cinematic story-line of his fourth album, LIBRA SCALE.  

            LIBRA SCALE, scheduled for September 21^st release, is the follow-up to Ne-Yo’s RIAA platinum Year Of The Gentleman, which debuted at #1 on the Soundscan and UK national charts in September 2008.  That album spun off a triumvirate of consecutive RIAA platinum hits: “Closer” (#1 U.S. Dance, #1 UK), “Miss Independent” (#1 U.S. R&B, #1 UK R&B), and “Mad” (#5 U.S. R&B, #3 UK R&B).

            After a sizzling performance of “Beautiful Monster” on FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance on July 1^st, Ne-Yo traveled to London to preview tracks from LIBRA SCALE at the swanky Hospital venue one week later.  Tastemakers had a chance to sample the album’s narrative, threading through each of the songs, as explained by Ne-Yo.

            The story centers on the misadventures of ‘The Gentlemen,’ the trio of Jerome (played by Ne-Yo), Clyde and Leroy.  After encountering a mysterious figure, the three are granted everything they could ever want – money, fame, cars, girls…and superpowers;  the only catch being that they cannot fall in love.  For Clyde and Leroy, the pre-condition is easy.  Not so for Jerome (Ne-Yo), who falls for Pretty Sinclair, a vivacious no-nonsense stunner.  He captures her heart and they begin a relationship – which is when she contracts a strain of his super-powers and suffers an adverse reaction that effectively drives her crazy.

            The plot thickens as she is transformed into ‘Diamond Eye,’ a monster who sets about destroying the Gotham-like city.  At this point, the mysterious figure re-appears.  Disappointed in Jerome, he offers him an ultimatum: allow Diamond Eye and Pretty Sinclair both to die, and the city is saved – or allow Pretty Sinclair to live and reverse all the damage Diamond Eye has done, but Jerome must die.  Will he choose “the love of his life” or his own “love of life?”  We are left with Jerome weighing up the decision on a ‘Libra Scale’…hence the album’s title.

TOP 6 FINALISTS COMPETE ON NEXT PERFORMANCE SHOW DURING 150^TH EPISODE CELEBRATION WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, ON FOX

 Latin Music Superstars Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull And Members of the American Ballet Theatre To Perform on Next Results Show Thursday, July 22

In another dramatic results show, injured contestant Ashley Galvan, 19, a Lyrical dancer from Visalia, CA, was eliminated tonight on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Unable to compete in last night’s performance show, Galvan was placed in the bottom three with the two dancers who received the fewest of America’s votes: Billy Bell and Jose Ruiz. Judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mia Michaels and Adam Shankman then announced that due to Galvan’s injury, she was unable to continue in the competition and therefore eliminated.

This week’s results show also featured special performances by singer Christina Perri, members of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and Dizzy Feet Foundation scholarship recipients Fernando Martin-Gullans and Lauren Vayser.

The competition continues next week on a very special episode celebrating the milestone 150^th episode of America’s favorite dance show when the Top 6 (Billy Bell, Kent Boyd, Lauren Froderman, Robert Roldan, Jose Ruiz and Adéchiké Torbert) dance three routines – one with an All-Star partner, one with a fellow contestant and a solo – on a two-hour live performance show Wednesday, July 21 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

Tune in the following night, Thursday, July 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), to find out which dancer will be sent home next and to see performances by Latin music superstars Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull; members of the American Ballet Theatre; and two SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE All-Stars.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. The series is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.

Series Premiere Was The Most Watched Sitcom Telecast In The History Of Cable

LOS ANGELES, — TV Land announced today the second season pick-up of its hit original scripted sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland.”  The network will start production of 20 new episodes in October 2010 with a launch tentatively scheduled for January 2011.  Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White will return as series regulars for all 20 episodes.

“We are so excited that ‘Hot in Cleveland’ was embraced by viewers in such a big way,” said Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land.  “We absolutely love the show and can’t wait to see what hilarious new experiences these characters will encounter in the next 20 episodes.”

“Hot in Cleveland” airs on Wednesday nights at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and is the network’s first foray into original scripted programming.  The show debuted June 16 to critical acclaim and record-breaking ratings.  The series premiere was the highest-rated and most-watched show in all of cable that day among Adults 18-49, Adults 25-54, Women 18-49, Women 25-54 and Total Viewers according to The Nielsen Company.  To date, the series is averaging a 2.1 rating among Adults 25-54, a 2.7 among Women 25-54, a 1.7 among Adults 18-49 and a 2.1 among Women 18-49.  The show is delivering 4.7 million total viewers.

Following the domestic success, Endemol has acquired “Hot in Cleveland” for global distribution. The show premiered in Canada on July 5, 2010 and quickly became the #1 ranked new import comedy of the year.  The premiere telecast delivered a whopping 1.82 million total viewers, which is the U.S. delivery equivalent of 11.8 million viewers.  Endemol will launch the series at MIPCOM 2010.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience, “Hot in Cleveland” is executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions and is helmed by Emmy® Award-winning Suzanne Martin (“Frasier,” “Ellen”) serving as executive producer, show runner and writer.

AMBER TAMBLYN JOINS PRINCETON PLAINSBORO TEAM ON “HOUSE” Emmy- and Golden Globe-Nominated Actress to Appear in Multi-Episode Arc

Season Seven of HOUSE Premieres Monday, September 20, on FOX

Amber Tamblyn has signed on to appear in the upcoming season of HOUSE for a multi-episode story arc. She will play a brilliant and aggressive medical student whom DR. HOUSE (Hugh Laurie) hires as a new team member although she is technically not yet qualified to practice medicine. Tamblyn’s character will be confronted with the morally and ethically questionable way that House practices medicine.

The seventh season premiere of HOUSE airs Monday, Sept. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

With an impressive resume for a young actress, Amber Tamblyn’s breakout role was the title character in the critically acclaimed television series “Joan of Arcadia.” Her work on the show earned her both Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominations, and for her work opposite Tilda Swinton in the film “Stephanie Daley,” Tamblyn was honored with a Film Independent Spirit Award nomination in 2007. She will next be seen in Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” opposite James Franco and in John Doyle’s “Main Street” with Orlando Bloom and Colin Firth. Most recently seen in “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” opposite Michael Douglas, Tamblyn’s other film credits include “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” and “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” alongside Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Blake Lively. Additional television credits include “The Unusuals,” “Boston Public” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” An acclaimed writer, Tamblyn has published two poetry books and is a co-founder of WRITE NOW Poetry Society, a non-profit organization that raises funds for poetry programming. She also collaborated on “The Drums Inside Your Chest,” a performance-poetry concert film.

HOUSE is an innovative take on the medical drama in which the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients. The series also stars Lisa Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, Olivia Wilde and Peter Jacobson.

The series has ranked as one of the Top 3 dramas among Adults 18-49 for the past four consecutive seasons. Last season, HOUSE dominated its Monday 8:00-9:00 PM time period across all key demos and tied as the No. 1 drama among Teens.

Emmy Award-winning HOUSE is from Heel and Toe Films, Shore Z Productions and Bad Hat Harry Productions in association with Universal Media Studios. Katie Jacobs, David Shore, Paul Attanasio, Bryan Singer, Russel Friend, Garrett Lerner, Thomas L. Moran, Greg Yaitanes and Hugh Laurie are executive producers.

Sia’s New Album, We Are Born, Out Now “Behind The Scenes” Video  on VenusZine !

 ” ‘We Are Born’ is surely one of the year’s brightest albums”
- Associated Press

“… an addictive adrenaline-pumping jolt of fun and fizzy pop.”
- USA Today

 “it’s a charmingly cheery, light-hearted romp looking nowhere but sweetly, sanguinely forward. “
- All Music Guide

“… up tempo electro-pop jams”
- SPIN

“…jazzy, soulful vocals and retro vibe”
- People Magazine

“Her ridiculously entertaining fifth album… is a giddy homage to ’80s pop in all its geeky, much-loved variations.”
- The Washington Post

Sia has released her 4^th full length album, We Are Born, June 22 on Monkey Puzzle/JIVE Records to rave reviews from Pitchfork to Rolling Stone to the Boston Globe!  Entertainment Weekly called the album “…party music with a heart.” and Elle.com recently spent a day with Sia uncovering the secrets of her wardrobe and exploring her eccentric home filled with quirky, vintage pieces from around the world.  Perez Hilton is streaming the full album for fans to check out and RCRD LBL premiered the dancefloor “Clap Your Hands” Prince Vince remix MP3!

The Mynabirds Unveil “Let The Record Go” Video HERE to Watch New Fall Tour Dates Added

“an amazing debut album”

Associated Press

“You’re going to love each song on this album”

USA Today’s Pop Candy

“a set of bold, assured songs so elegantly composed that many could pass for old standards. 8.0”

Pitchfork

Laura Burhenn, better known as Saddle Creek artist The Mynabirds, will be kicking off another round of tour dates with her band this weekend.  But before hitting the road she was kind enough to bestow a gift in the form of a video for the bittersweet, stomping anthem “Let The Record Go.”  The clip premiered on Stereogum earlier today and you can check it out HERE as well.  The Mynabirds have also added a slew of shows in September and October, so if you haven’t experienced Laura’s husky, soulful voice in-person, now is your chance.  The run includes dates with Al Green, Built To Spill, Crooked Fingers, and David Bazan.

The former George James vocalist is still riding high off her critically acclaimed debut album as The Mynabirds, What We Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood.  Produced by Richard Swift, the album name may sound like an old Eastern proverb, but that’s simply because Laura deliberately came up with a title that would sound like one.  Following the breakup of her former band, she began composing new material that fell into two categories: loss and recovery.  As a result, What We Lose takes a decidedly Zen-like approach to healing that anyone can relate to.

ALEX WONG IS ELIMINATED ON “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE” TOP 7 FINALISTS COMPETE ON NEXT PERFORMANCE SHOW WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, ON FOX

Singer Christina Perri and Members of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre To Perform on Next Results Show Thursday, July 15

In a dramatic results show, injured contestant Alex Wong, 23, a Ballet dancer from Vancouver, Canada, was eliminated tonight on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Unable to compete in last night’s performance show, Wong was placed in the bottom three with the two dancers who received the fewest of America’s votes: Billy Bell and Ashley Galvan. Judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mia Michaels and Adam Shankman then announced that due to Wong’s injury, he was unable to continue in the competition and therefore eliminated.

This week’s results show also featured special performances by pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield, the cast of Broadway’s Tony Award-winning smash hit “In The Heights” and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE All-Stars Anya Garnis and Pasha Kovalev.

The competition continues next week on America’s favorite dance show when the Top 7 (Billy Bell, Kent Boyd, Lauren Froderman, Ashley Galvan, Robert Roldan, Jose Ruiz and Adéchiké Torbert) will dance two routines – one with an All-Star partner and one with a fellow contestant – on a two-hour live performance show Wednesday, July 14 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

Tune in the following night, Thursday, July 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), to find out which dancer will be sent home next and to see performances by singer Christina Perri, whose single “Jar of Hearts” rocketed up the iTunes charts after being featured on last week’s performance show; members of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre; and Dizzy Feet Foundation scholarship recipients Fernando Martin-Gullans and Lauren Vayser.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. The series is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.
