She had her low gear hit with an MPB tune ("PedaÃ§o de Mim" by Chico Buarque) and then with a serial of pop ballads during the '80s; merely at last in the '90s, she launch her way with a repertory of classics of Brazilian music in highly polished acoustic renditions. There are variations give, as in Per Amore, which is completely devoted to Italian quixotic songs (song in the original idiom).

Telling solitary since she was a child, Possi started to take piano classes at quint. At 20, she abandoned the substantial typography programme at the State University of Bahia and started working as an actress in a musical when she discovered herself as a isaac Merrit Singer. In 1978, she left for Rio, where she was invited by Roberto Menescal to record (at the time he was Polygram's A&R) her low gear album (Flor do Mal).

In 1990, the picture Sobre Todas As Coisas (piano/voice/percussion) represented the finding of an home coherence later on pickings different paths. Rewarded by the success enjoyed during the tour of duty, she accepted Marcos Suzano's suggestion of incorporating Lui Coimbra's violoncello, recording the album Sobre Todas As Coisas (1991). The esthetics of an acoustic sound and the classics of Brazilian music were gainful even further testimonial on Valsa Brasileira (1993) and on her subsequent albums.

Born March 19, 1955, in Naples, singer/songwriter Pino Daniele grew up acquisition both classic and traditional Neapolitan guitar, though as a adolescent he became interested in other styles of music, particularly British and American rock. His solo debut, Terra Mia, song dynasty in Neapolitan, was the number one exemplar of what Daniele called "taramblÃ¹," a combination of tarantella, rumba, and megrims. In 1979 his self-titled soph record was released, followed by Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus a MetÃ in 1980, and that same year Daniele was invited to open for reggae whiz Bob Marley for his show in Milan. During the next few days the creative person continued exploring his diverse Mediterranean, African, and Western inspirations -- launch in albums like Common Ground, a coaction with American folksinger Richie Havens, and the Middle Eastern-influenced Bonne SoirÃ©e -- as comfortably as writing soundtracks for films by Massimo Troisi. In 1989 Daniele took a step toward greater commercial success with the acquittance of the pop record Mascalzone Latino, followed by some other flood of albums, including 1991's Un Uomo in Blues, 1993's Che Dio Ti Benedica (which had deuce tracks produced by Chick Corea), 1995's Non Calpestare I Fiori Nel Deserto, 1997's Dimmi Cosa Succede Sulla Terra, and 2000's Al Madinah. Two geezerhood later the singer teamed up with gent Italian stars Francesco De Gregori, Ron, and Fiorella Mannoia for a circuit, captured on the befittingly titled In Tour. In 2005 Daniele released Iguana iguana CafÃ©, some other studio record.

Rob Cohen - Director Cohen Slams Weisz

2008-06-14T16:22:00.001-07:00

Director ROB COHEN has criticised British actress RACHEL WEISZ for refusing to return for the third installment of THE MUMMY trilogy.

The 37-year-old shot to international stardom after appearing in 1999's original movie The Mummy.

And, despite appearing in 2001 follow-up The Mummy Returns, she turned down a role in the forthcoming sequel The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - blaming the location for her decision. Her representative insisted the actress didn't feel comfortable spending five months shooting in China as her son Henry is not yet two years old.

But the film's director Cohen claims she actually turned down the part because movie bosses had made her character too old.

He tells Britain's Heat magazine, "I got a very angry phone from her agent, saying she'll never play the mother of a 21-year-old. I said, 'OK, good, fine, bye.'"

Weisz has been replaced by Maria Bello in The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, which is due for release later this year (08).

Tonya Harding - Harding Opens Up About Life And Kerrigan Attack In New Book

2008-06-08T19:39:00.003-07:00

Shamed former U.S. skating champion-turned-reality TV star TONYA HARDING has penned a tell-all book in a bid to show the public she doesn't deserve her `bad girl' tag.

In The Tonya Tapes, Harding reveals she was beaten by her exhusband, Jeff Gillooly, and knew nothing about his 1994 clubbing attack on skating rival Nancy Kerrigan, which she was accused of plotting.

Kerrigan was forced to pull out of trials for the 1994 Winter Olympics as a result of her injuries, but was allowed to compete in Lillehammer, Norway, where she won a silver medal.

The skater also writes about her abusive childhood in the book, claiming she was raped - and reveals she has attempted suicide. But she insists the reason she wrote the book was to clear up mistruths and misconceptions about her.

She explains, "I just wanted people to know me for me and not make judgments against me, like, how you see me on TV (sic).

"It's always the black and white interviews, it's not who I am personally."

Joanna Hunkin: Over the teacups

2008-06-08T19:39:00.001-07:00

There are moments in life, when you realise you are old. Too old, at least, to be carrying on in whatever circumstances you are carrying on in.As a young man proffered a steel teapot, full of an unidentifiable pink liquid, I realised this could well be that moment. A young girl followed the man, carrying a tray of china tea cups, in which they served up the toxic pink substance, giggling with impish glee as they made their way through the sea of partygoers.In the interests of research, one friend bravely downed the concoction, to discover a residue of half-dissolved jam lining the bottom of his cup. In some ways, the bizarre tea party was a fitting celebration for the start of Queen's Birthday Weekend. Though one suspects old Liz might prefer her jam with scones, rather than in the tea itself.The party was, in fact, the launch of a hip new magazine which drew a prerequisite crowd of hip young scenesters. (A growing demographic in Auckland these days, cultivated in large part by the North Shore, comprised of under-21 models, musicians and their hangers-on.)

And what a crowd it was. Hundreds of people jammed into the timewarp of a pub, where bands and DJs took it in turns to entertain the raucous echelons. A secret world of youthful exuberance, indecipherable to the outside eye.Merely a handful of years may separate you from these youngsters, yet they are worlds apart; living in a parallel universe where no one bats an eyelid at jam-infused cocktails poured from antique teapots.If the teapot incident was not enough to convince me I was out of my depth, the assortment of young girls in short tunics, leggings and Doc Martens certainly were. I was never old enough to sport the trend when it first emerged in the early 90s but I certainly remember it. Not like these fashion-forward hipsters, who were young enough to believe they were donning a fresh, new look, unaware of its Beverly Hills 90210 origins.Of course, the 90s were but one of many eras in which Docs were the footwear of choice - the most notorious being the late 70s, where Docs were a symbol of the punk rock and ska movements - think of mad Uncle Bob's prized Clash, the Damned and Sex Pistols records. Young louts rallying against the establishment and the conventions of traditional music. Perhaps it was that iconography that brought out the crowd's hooligan attitude - their inner-punks jostling for a fight, for throughout the night, there were a series of bust-ups. A fracas on the dancefloor saw several partygoers enter the fray, while downstairs, more fisticuffs ensued (the results of which have been forever captured for one local band, who recorded their new music video on Sunday afternoon, their bass player sporting a vicious black eye).Indeed, the night might have conjured memories of Auckland's old social scene, once dominated by street brawls and biffo, if anyone there had been old enough to know about it.Perhaps, like so many other trends, this one has finally come full circle. Or as a wise, old friend suggested, perhaps fighting is simply a young man's game.Which means I really am too old to be hanging with Auckland's indie scenesters.

Court now orders Spears psych exam

2008-06-08T19:38:00.001-07:00

A judge has ruled that troubled pop star Britney Spears must be examined by a court-appointed psychiatrist to determine if she understands the legal proceedings involving her.
Reuters reports that Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered on Monday that the psychiatrist file a report on the 26-year-old's mental condition by 13 February.
On 14 February it will be decided how much longer Spears' assets should remain under the temporary control of her father and his attorney.
Commissioner Gordon also said that a restraining order against Spears' self-styled manager and confidant, Sam Lutfi, forbids him from any form of contact with her.
Spears was taken to the UCLA Medical Center for a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation last week; her stay has now been extended to two weeks.

In the former '80s, the Canadian great metal band Anvil made an impact on the development speed metal scene. Their showtime three albums featured some mind-boggling technically advanced metal at a antecedently unheard-of speed -- well-grounded for the interest of heavy, not songs. After releasing their third album in 1983, the band sank into a mire of legal and creative problems where their accomplishments and popularity were eclipsed by the bands that defined f number and thrash alloy -- Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth -- among other lesser-knowns wHO were all in debt to Anvil's old work. After two marginally successful comeback albums in 1987 and 1988, guitar player Dave Allison left and the lot efficaciously depart recording.

An early fan of hip-hop and electro, Cheung was a member of a breakdance crew that as well recorded several roger Sessions during the mid-'80s. After studying for several geezerhood, he began on the job in a record store around the time of the acid-house explosion of the former '80s.

Cheung recorded for Moving Shadow as Cloud 9, and recorded several of the nascent jungle community's to the highest degree infectious tracks, including the much-anthologized "You Got Me Burnin" and "Mr. Logic." His Nookie assumed name received often attention likewise, as Cheung released one of the earliest jungle LPs, 1995's The Sound of Music (for 4 Hero's Reinforced Records).
