Video Premiere: Kid Rock ft. Sheryl Crow, ?Collide?

Kid Rock | Collide by Kid Rock | Sheryl Crow | Free Music Videos
Quick, name Kid Rock’s biggest hit! “Bawitdaba”? “All Summer Long”? “Cowboy”?
If you guessed any of the above, sadly, you would be wrong. Despite his image as a hard drinking, hard partying rap star turned rock ‘n’ roller, Kid Rock’s most successful single to date is his lovelorn duet with Sheryl Crow, “Picture.” The song, which was initially released to radio stations in late 2002 with vocals from Alison Moorer — legend has it that Sheryl Crow’s management was not thrilled that she decided to record a track with the man born Robert James Ritchie until the Moorer version started climbing the charts — was a huge crossover smash, charting at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and logging 33 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, before becoming a staple of karaoke bars across the country.

Rock and Crow, who have been rumored to be an on-and-off item over the years, next reunited for an album cut on Rock’s 2003 record, Kid Rock. The song, “Run Off To LA,” was a blistering dis track directed at Rock’s ex (at the time), Pam Anderson, and, understandably, was never released commercially.
But now, some ten years after the recording sessions for Cocky, Rock and Crow are at it again with “Collide,” the third single from Rock’s latest LP, Born Free. The chemistry between the two long-time friends is readily apparent throughout the course of the video, and we’ve got a good feeling that this song will join “Picture” as a classic karaoke staple for couples for years and years to come. The song will be making its television debut this weekend as part of our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown, but thanks to the magic of the internet, you can watch it on your computer monitor right at this very second. Let us know what you think!

Exclusive: Head to Toe with Jennifer Hudson

Last week, Jennifer Hudson’s sophomore LP, I Remember Me, hit the streets and moved an impressive 165,000 copies, good for second place on the Billboard 200. If it has been awhile since you last laid eyes on J-Hud, yes, that’s really her there on the cover of the record. Thanks to a new exercise regimen and healthy eating, Hudson has dropped 80 pounds (!!!) in the twenty or so months years since she gave birth to her son, Daniel. Okay, we’ll say it, she’s lookin’ FINE these days!
So when Jennifer recently stopped by our offices here in the heart of Times Square, we thought she’d be a perfect candidate for our recurring style series, Head to Toe. “I put my outfits together today knowing that music is business, too, so I’m giving you a little business today,” the self-described supermodel-slash-business-lady explained to us in the video footage that you’ll see below. Her best piece of advice, though, is an oldie but a goodie: “Don’t let the clothes wear you, you wear them.”

The Sights And Sounds Of SXSW

Before the plane lifted off for a flight back to NYC from Austin’s South By Southwest Music Festival, the airline attendant joked via loudspeaker: “You all look so hip and cool.” Some passengers laughed, but probably no one disagreed. How could a flight with members of TV on the Radio be anything else? In fact,the packed plane felt like a microcosm of the festival itself, where thousands of bands, industry executives, celebrities and music fans worked and played for five days at parties in clubs, bars and makeshift venues like parking garages.
Some would say there’s a downside to having so much “hip and cool” descend upon one mid-sized city. The quest to get into the coolest parties (this year: Kanye West and friends at an abandoned power plant) and encounter the biggest celebs (Jon Hamm was at Duran Duran!) feels at times like an intense competition, which is probably why there’s a backlash against oversharing SXSW details on Twitter. Detractors would argue that a cult of celebrity shouldn’t eclipse the music at a festival that originated 25 years ago to help expose coming-of-age bands.
But even detractors might have a hard time not having a blast. Several bands previewed entire upcoming albums, including the Foo Fighters and the Antlers. There were enormous stadium-sized shows (The Strokes, Bright Eyes), televised events (mtvU’s Woodies), must-see emerging acts (James Blake, Odd Future, Oh Land) and countless smaller bands grinding away around the clock.
Check out pics and videos of VH1 News interviewing this year’s SXSW artists, including the Foo Fighters, Janelle Monae, Yoko Ono, Duran Duran, Oh Land, Fitz & the Tantrums, Friendly Fires, G.Love, Two Door Cinema Club, Miguel and Moby.

Beverly Hills Fabulous Recap - Episode 3 - Big Body Girls

Sean’s boredom with the Elgin Charles Salon is inversely proportionate to my boredom with the Elgin Charles Salon.

We begin this episode of Beverly Hills Fabulous admiring Lolita?s new haircut. Like Elgin, she lives her job. The staff of Elgin Charles Hair love themselves so much, I wouldn’t be surprised if this camera was hidden behind a mirror:

After a few minutes of hair flipping (in fact, Lolita’s haircut was designed to be in constant motion), Elgin announces that he?s going to South Central L.A. to do a presentation for a group of underprivileged children. ?l?m lucky enough to be a successful black salon owner in Beverly Hills,? Elgin interviews. Hair has blessed Elgin’s life in so many ways.

The team retreats to their side of the salon. Their side being the … less classy side, as we learned earlier … or as you?ll learn right now, since the first thing we hear from Lolita is that with her different haircut, she?s now into ?different things.? She doesn’t specify what these different things are, but Lolita hasn’t said a word on this show that didn’t have a sexual connotation, so let’s just assume that’s what she means and move on.

Sean seems in a good mood for a change, until Lolita tells him that she?s got a bridal party coming in. He doesn?t like bridal parties, he tells us, because it reminds him of prom. The parallels are there: The tacky dresses, the awkward photos, the regrettable companionship. I think people only get married because they forget what prom was like.

I can’t tell if his client really agrees, or just wants to keep Sean happy while he’s got a hair iron in his hands.
Lolita insists that the bride is arriving alone, but Sean insists that she?s going to arrive with an entourage. His reasoning? ?There?s a culture of black people.? ?Culture? is a neutral word, but Sean?s tone is not. Still, I don?t think he dislikes black people, he just seems to dislike all people.
He then bets Lolita lunch at a seafood joint that a ?whole troop? of people will arrive.

Meanwhile Elgin and Katrina arrive at the Al Wooten, Jr. Community Center. They meet the kids, and Elgin asks who among them is interested in doing hair. The boys are a little shy about raising their hands.

He interviews that he was teased for doing hair. He interviews that as a kid, his brother would call him a sissy for practicing hair techniques on dolls, but Elgin?s a millionaire now, so he?s laughing harder.

Our society’s greatest measure of success is how hard you can laugh in the faces of others.
Back to the bet. Lolita sees the bride, Yasmine, roll in solo, and she?s pleased about winning the bet (about as pleased as Sean is annoyed). But then:

Bad things always happen in threes, don’t they? Sean then runs down what he?s going to order: crab, shrimp, lobster, double noodles … it’s like a wish list of things you definitely want to smell on your stylist’s hands.

Back at the school …


Elgin realizes that he?s losing his audience. Out there is a sea of tiny, bored faces. It’s so bad that he resorts to showing them his spinning ring.


Still nothing. Who knew a spinning ring couldn’t keep a class entertained for HOURS. But Elgin has more and better tricks up his sleeve. He announces to the class that he?s got his own mini-Elgin Charles Salon on site, and that they?re about to get Elginized. Now he?s got their attention:


Back at the official Elgin Charles Salon, Lolita?s bridal client is getting her hair done. But there are too many cooks in the chair for her taste. Lolita suggests the bride pull her hair back, and her friends aren?t happy with this suggestion.

Lolita interviews that they are ?wannabe divas? and ?three girls that don?t know nothing about hair.? Even worse: They don’t know anything about her. She makes them a) Google her name b) sit down while she has some champagne and gets started on Yasmine?s hair. Montage time:



Sean takes off to the classy side of the salon to avoid Lolita?s bridal party. He’s got a big client too:

But then this guy comes in …

… and obviously he?s not there to get styled. Or get champagne. He?s the health inspector.
Sean isn?t worried about the classy side of the salon as much as he?s worried about this side:

Elgin of course doesn?t know about the surprise inspection. He?s over at the community center doing hair. He gets a call from his staff, and he knows he?s got to get back to his business.
Meanwhile Sean runs to the other side to clean up before the inspector gets there. There?s food and drinks and dancing ladies everywhere. ?Big body girls swinging asses from left to right? Sean calls them, probably based on the extra large pizza they brought in that he’s got to throw away for them. He tells them to swing their asses right out the door.

Then, surprisingly, Lolita takes off along with the ladies Sean?s just kicked out. ?I can?t believe Lolita left me to clean up her mess, but you better believe there were plenty of hors d?oeuvres at that bridal party,” he says. Well, there goes his free lunch.

Back on the other side, the rest of the staff is trying to stall the inspector until Sean can take care of the mess.

Elgin returns and brings the inspector over to the other side. It’s immaculate.

Sean?s a little bothered to see Elgin back at the salon since he?s second-in-command and he feels like he handled the situation well. So he doesn?t know how to feel about this lack of faith.
Lolita is still gone, by the way:

So it looks like Elgin made the right decision, leaving Sean in charge.
After the inspector passes the salon, Sean confronts Elgin on his ?urgency to get back to the salon.? Elgin tries to compliment him but Sean makes his anger …




… as clear as possible.
They argue some more. The argument seems to be about the argument, with Sean complaining about getting ?checked? and Elgin complaining about the disrespect. They break, and Elgin says that he needs Sean to do some soul searching. Apparently that?s what he goes to do, right away.


I hope they can work it out, because Sean looks very out of place out of the salon.
This week’s hair tips:
If you?re wearing synthetic wigs or braids that are getting little stale at the ends, dip your hair in hot water, put a little oil, and shake it until ?it?s all new, baby.? Bonus tip from me: Just trade your wig with a friend’s. Now it’s all new.
It?s always good to bring your stylist a picture of what you want. ?But don?t bring a picture of Halle Berry expecting to leave looking like her. Only God creates miracles.? Bonus tip from me: If you’re Halle Berry, bring in a picture of Halle Berry and ask to look like her. That’ll really freak out your stylist.

Madonna?s old nude picture may sell for $10,000 at Christie?s Photo

 Madonnas old nude picture may sell for $10,000 at Christies Photo

A nude picture of Madonna, taken when the queen of pop was a struggling dancer in New York in 1979, is expected to sell for at least USD10,000, auction house Christie’s said Friday.

Madonna received USD25 in payment for the modelling session, after answering a newspaper ad by photographer Lee Friedlander. The results of the session were published in Playboy magazine in 1985.

The full-frontal nude print, which is said to be the most revealing of the series, will be sold Feb 12 in New York, with many expecting Madonna herself to be among the high bidders.

Also up for sale is a later photo of a lingerie-clad Madonna by Helmut Newton, which is expected to fetch up to USD15,000.

2011 SXSW Guide: Hanson?s Favorite Acts

Most artists have a better chance of winning the lottery than selling out stadium-sized shows, a feat Hanson accomplished as young teens thanks to their single “MMMBop.” Despite the success, brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac broke with their major label over creative differences and started their own (3CG Records) instead of signing with another. This makes Hanson�a rare phenomenon — a boy band turned indie act, which puts them right at home at SXSW. Last month, Hanson released a video for “Give A Little” to support their most recent album,�Shout It Out.
After the jump, Taylor Hanson’s SXSW picks.

Cee Lo Green
“A phenomenal artist with pipes and stage presence to spare, very excited to catch Mr Green live.”
Brett Dennen
“Brett is an awesome talent with a totally unique sound.”
The Jim Jones Revue
“This raucous outfit has made one of the most exciting albums I’ve heard this year. If the live show has a fraction of the energy of the record, it’s going to melt faces and I hope to be there to watch the melting.
From David Garza to Dan Wilson to John Popper, a ton of friends are at SXSW this year. One of the things I am excited to do is catch the many amazing artists that we have shared stages, songwriting and other collaborations with.
There are a whopping 2,000 or so acts performing at South By Southwest in Austin this year. A few are household names (Duran Duran, Erykah Badu, The Strokes), some are respected indie veterans (Low, Hieroglyphics) and others feel like they’re about to be the next big thing. We’ve asked a diverse group of 2011 SXSW artists to name acts in the lineup they’d love to see. We’re hoping this ongoing series will serve as not just a guide to the fest, but also an interesting snapshot of today’s music scene.
Thanks to Chrysler and Samsung for sponsoring our SXSW coverage.

Mob Wives - Watch The Supertrailer!

Vh1.com Video
Mob Wives hits the air beginning on Sunday, April 17, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show is already drumming up controversy. It’s been a fixture in Page Six, and the L.A. Times recently described it like this: “If you thought the ladies of Real Housewives of New Jersey had mobster connections (table-flipping outbursts tend to imply that), you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
And judging by the amount of action, intensity and drama in this supertrailer, the Mob Wives — Renee Graziano, Karen Gravano, Drita D’avanzo and Carla Facciolo — are bound to shake things up on Sunday nights beginning three weekends from now. Oh, and don’t forget to “like” our official Mob Wives Facebook page, too! Let us know what you think of the trailer and the show in our comments section below.

Katy Perry's 'E.T.' Video To Premiere Thursday On MTV

On-air debut at 7:53 p.m. ET will be followed by live 'MTV First' interview with Perry on MTV.com!
By MTV News staff

Katy Perry's much-anticipated "E.T." video will land Thursday exclusively on MTV and MTV.com.

The video — directed by Floria Sigismondi and featuring none other than Kanye West — will first premiere at noon on MTV.com, VH1.com and LogoTV.com.

"MTV First: Katy Perry's 'E.T.' " will bow on air at 7:53 p.m. ET, and then tosses to MTV.com's live stream, direct from the MTV Newsroom, featuring MTV News correspondent Sway's exclusive interview with Perry, an interview with Sigismondi, and reaction from Perry's fans.

"MTV First" caps off a full day of Katy-related content across all MTV platforms. Beginning on Thursday morning, MTV and MTV Hits will feature blocks of Perry's best-known videos, and at 5 p.m. ET, MTV's "The Seven" will feature an interview with Perry. And just before the on-air premiere of "E.T.," fans will be treated to an exclusive introduction from Katy herself.

On Friday — the day after the video's premiere — TeenNick, Logo and Tr3s will spotlight the video as part of TeenNick's "Obsess This" music block, Logo's "NewNowNext" and Tr3s' "Fresca Video."

And though the premiere is still three days away, promotion for the clip has already begun: Not only has Perry been tweeting photos of her fans after they've been "abducted" by extraterrestrials, but now it seems that both her website and Facebook page have also been taken over by the same aliens, who are communicating with fans in a bizarre written language.

Don't miss the premiere of Katy Perry's "E.T." video, featuring Kanye West, at 7:53 p.m. ET Thursday on MTV, followed by our live "MTV First" interview with Katy Perry on MTV.com!

Exclusive: Ne-Yo Discusses The Reasons Why He Decided Not To Cancel His Recent Concerts In Japan

UPDATE (5:37 p.m.): Follow along for not one but two videos of Janell’s exclusive chat with Ne-Yo earlier today.
In the wake of the disaster that struck Japan some twelve days ago, some musicians made the difficult decision to postpone previously planned tours to the island nation until the situation over there became more stable. Not Ne-Yo, though! He’s been over in Japan for well over a week now, performing in front of thousands of thrilled fans and helping to restore a sense of normalcy to the tragedy-ridden country. Well, our own VH1 News correspondent Janell Snowden was able to speak with Ne-Yo exclusively earlier today via Skype. We’ll be bringing you select clips from that interview very soon, but for now, here’s a quick summary of what they discussed:

While the fact that Ne-Yo has a four month-old daughter initially gave him pause about going to Japan during such a tumultuous time, he ultimately felt like he had her blessing. As he explained to us, if she could talk, she would’ve told him to solider on.



When he first arrived on Japanese soil, he and his team had to be coached on safety-related precautions just in case another aftershock struck.
He encourage other artists to follow his lead and play for the people of Japan.
He mentioned the recent rumors that he was on “suicide watch” and dismissed them as a total fabrication, noting that he very much wants to be there for his baby daughter as she grows up.

Most importantly, though, Ne-Yo has graciously decided to donate $100,000 in merchandise sales to the relief efforts, plus a percentage of the proceeds from the ticket sales during this leg of his world tour. Remember, if you want to contribute to the relief efforts, you can always construct “Paper Cranes for Japan” or donate to the Red Cross.
UPDATE:
As promised, here are two excerpts from our exclusive interview with Ne-Yo earlier today.
In the first clip, Janell asks Ne-Yo what kinds of special precautions he needed to take in order to perform in front of his fans in Japan:

Vh1.com Video
And in this one, Ne-Yo talks about why he made the decision to donate over $100,000 to relief efforts. As he explains, “With everything that’s going on [in Japan], these people needed a reason to smile, a reason to stand up and cheer, if only for a few hours.”

Mob Wives - Meet The Cast

You’ve read the announcement, you’ve watched the teaser, you’ve delighted in the super teaser, but now it’s time to FINALLY meet the cast of VH1’s upcoming docu-soap, Mob Wives.


Renee Graziano
Renee Graziano is the daughter of Anthony Graziano, who according to the Federal Government is a high ranking member of La Cosa Nostra. Renee grew up during the heyday of the mob — when things still fell off trucks and people still dropped off envelopes even when it wasn’t your birthday. Immersed in the culture since birth, she embraced the lifestyle as her own and became a “mob loyalist”. Renee has always dated and hung out within this circle–a place where she met and eventually married (then divorced) Junior. Together they have one son, AJ.
When Renee was young her best friend was arrested and sentenced to many years behind bars. This was her first real introduction to prison, but unfortunately not her last. Thanks to a circle of friends living the street life, Renee has visited over 83 prisons and written hundreds of letters to comfort the many friends she had on “the inside.” This correspondence gave her the idea to turn her love of the “the life” into a greeting card company called JAIL MAIL.
Renee sometimes longs for the good old days, but thanks to her friends she is slowly starting to realize that this is not a life she wants her son to lead. She struggles to balance her allegiance to the street life with her hopes that her son will live a life free of it all.
Renee is hysterical, Renee is crazy, and Renee is drama, but she will be the first to give you the shirt off her back. Everyone and anyone who knows her, knows this.

Karen Gravano is the daughter of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, the infamous mobster who cooperated with the government to help take down John Gotti and the Gambino crime family. Karen was just 19 years old when her father turned on the mafia, a move that left Karen devastated.
While her family relocated to Arizona to start over, at first Karen stayed behind in New York–her way of showing that she had trouble with her father’s cooperation. After a couple years, she joined her family in Arizona where she became a licensed aesthetician, opened up a lucrative day spa, and had her first and only child, Karina.
After 12 years of coming to terms with who she is and understanding her father’s choices, Karen is ready to close up shop in Arizona and return to Staten Island. Beyond reconnecting with old friends, Karen hopes that coming back will help her stand on her own, out of shadows of her father’s infamous past.
Strong, driven and business minded, she has already inked a deal to write a book about her life and is ready to revisit her old stomping grounds and reconnect with her old friends.

Drita D?avanzo is the wife of Lee D’avanzo, who federal prosecutors allege is the leader of a Bonanno and Colombo crime family farm team. While Drita’s husband is serving time in prison for bank robbery (for the second time), she is left alone raising two young girls, Aleeya (9) and Gizelle (2). Drita comes from a strict Albanian household who defied her parents and married someone outside the community — an Italian.
Drita grew up different from the other women. She was raised in the projects of Staten Island after her family settled there from Albania. Her father, a strict soccer coach, raised her to be tough and play with the boys. She was never allowed to cry, and had to do hundreds of push-ups and sit-ups a day to meet her father’s high standards. Drita was invited to play for the Women’s National Soccer Team and was all set to go until she met her first love, “the streets”.
She dated street guy after street guy until ultimately finding and marrying Lee. At first everything was great and she had everything she wanted. However, Lee was allegedly robbing banks (among other things), and before she gave birth to their first daughter, he was escorted away by the Feds for an 8 year prison term. Drita had their baby, and stood by her man — who promised her that he would never leave her again.
During Lee’s first prison sentence, Drita realized that she must do something to stand on her own two feet in case she is ever left in a position like this again. She studied to become a make-up artist and worked for various high end cosmetic companies while her husband was away. Almost eight years later Lee came home and they started over. They built a new home, made baby number two, and Lee even got a legitimate job. However the good times were short lived. Again, Lee was arrested and sentenced to prison for 2 — 5 years for similar crimes. Needless to say, Drita was not happy. But, like so many times before, she picked up the pieces and carried on. As a mother of two with a husband in jail, she struggles to keep it all together while figuring out if this is a lifestyle she wants to continue to live. Currently, she freelances as a make-up artist and plans to develop her own cosmetic line.
Drita is tough as nails and infamous for her many fights and knock outs growing up. Now a mother, she struggles to control her anger and often feels nostalgic for times when a problem could be solved with a fist.

Carla Facciolo grew up in Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, where she had a similar upbringing to Renee Graziano. While her father went to prison when she was young, it didn’t stop her from living the lifestyle she grew to love.
When Carla was 17 she started dating street guys and really got a taste of the life. She hung out with girls like Renee, and others — whose parents were either in the life or extremely wealthy. Carla likes the finer things in life and thought she’d met her match when she married Joey Ferragamo, a stock broker.
Although Carla thought she had finally gotten away from the lifestyle she lived growing up, her husband eventually got indicted and convicted for a boiler room scandal and Carla once again found herself dealing with the ins and outs of prison. Carla tells her twins, who she feels are too young to know where their dad is, that he is away at work. She is a stay at home mom and sales rep for a juice company. She takes good care of herself and prides herself on her hair and great body.
For more on these fascinating women, be sure to check out their full bios on our official Mob Wives show page. And don’t forget, Mob Wives will make its highly anticipated debut on Sunday, April 17, only on VH1!

The Ten Sexiest Actresses on the Planet

As we prepared our list of the sexiest women alive, we realized that it could never be accurate. After all, that?s pretty all-encompassing. Who knows if there?s some stripper from Kokomo, Indiana or some 18-year-old girl from Bangladesh who is sexier than anyone else in the world.

To keep things on an even keel, the Fat Guys at the Movies have narrowed the field down to the leading ladies of American cinema, and we?re pretty confident that these gals are the sexiest out there.

10. Elisha Cuthbert

Yeah, she?s been in a lot of crap, but who can deny the sexiness of this lady. We remember her best for The Girl Next Door and for the high school fantasy for Luke Wilson in Old School.

9. Salma Hayek

Robert Rodriguez be praised! It was he who introduced the world to sexy Salma in Desperado, offering us one of the steamiest love scenes she?s done right out of the gate. Even the unibrow in Frida wasn?t enough to ugly her down.

8. Charlize Theron

See, we had her on the list, but just not at number one. It was Fat Guy Neil Miller who changed his tune when he saw the Esquire photos. And while she looked like shit in Monster, North Country and now In the Valley of Elah, we both agree that this South African is still a sexy little number.

7. Halle Berry

Here?s a shout-out to an Ohio girl who still has what it takes to rev our engines. Neil got blown off by her at the Perfect Stranger junket, and Kevin still isn?t talking about his possible involvement in her pregnancy.

6. Kate Beckinsale

Underwold, Underwold: Evolution and Van Helsing. We love Kate in leather!

5. Jaime Pressley

Kevin has had his eye on this little tart long before she won an Emmy for My Name Is Earl. Sexy tattoos, big eyes and a hot little body put the white trash icon on the list.

4. Scarlett Johansson

Kevin disagreed with Scarlett?s placement on the list, especially above Jaime Pressley. But a quick image search on the Internet by Neil at least showed him that she?s not one to be missed in the magazines. Not the greatest actress alive, but definitely sexy.

3. Monica Bellucci

We don?t care how old she is. Monica Bellucci is smoking hot. Even when she?s playing the Virgin Mary. From The Matrix Reloaded to Shoot ?Em Up, Monica makes us hungry for Italian food.

2. Jessica Biel

Like Elisha Cuthbert, Jessica Biel is not known for her steller acting career. But she is known for her hot-to-trot body. Even films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Stealth were watchable thanks to her skimpy outfits.

1. Jessica Alba

The second name in the Jessica troika (sorry to Jessica Simpson, but she failed to make the list) is a name that strikes horniness in the hearts of men everywhere. We?re still waiting for that obligatory, yet artsy, nude scene. But in the mean time, we?ll keep her around because she?s just the sexiest woman alive in cinema.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Eva Mendes, Fat Guy Kevin Carr?s sister claims she looks too manish, but we think that?s because she?s jealous. Eva is awesome, especially when she?s showing a lot of cleavage, as she did in Ghost Rider.

Natalie Portman, Yeah, she kinda looks like a twelve-year-old boy (but Neil likes that), and her nude scene in Wes Anderson?s Hotel Chevalier was kinda lame. But remember that hooker outfit in V for Vendetta, or that stripper outfit in Closer? Yummy, yummy!

Co-star confirms Spider-Man 4 to shoot next year

spiderman.100 Co-star confirms Spider-Man 4 to shoot next year

After all the heat The Dark Knight and Iron Man generated last summer, the Spider-Man brand seems not only to have surrendered its credentials as our biggest comic-to-film franchise but also its place in the public imagination. Iron Man is positioned to take the escapist crown, Batman has the artistic reigns, so where does that leave Spider-Man, which had previously held a viable claim to both?
Of course, creative questions won?t deter Sony, which confirmed last fall that it had director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire on board to make at least two more Spider-Man movies. Although the third film was widely considered a disappointment, it managed the highest international gross of the series?north of $890 million?and for them, that’s the bottom line.

That said, though summer 2011 seemed to be the target for the next movie, there had been little news about actual development. Now series co-star J.K. Simmons, who plays the hyperbolic editor of The Daily Bugle, may have settled some of the doubt. He told MTV at Sundance that he will return and that Raimi wants to shoot the fourth movie next year. There are also rumors the fifth film will shoot concurrently with the fourth, which Simmons didn?t address.

Other questions also remain. Marvel has already staked out the first weekend in May 2011 for The First Avenger: Captain America, which by tradition would belong to Spider-Man. (Marvel also has The Avengers set for July 15, 2011.) Ultimately, with production apparently still more than a year away, it could be some time before this is really cleared up.

Former teen country singer Molly Bee dies at 69 Photo

Molly Bee, the country singer who shot to fame at age 13 with the 1952 novelty hit “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” has died of complications following a stroke. She was 69.

Biography of�Molly Bee -


In Progress…

Pre-1950s

Molly Beachboard was the name she was born with, but country music fans would know her as Molly Bee. She was born in Oklahoma and was part Indian.

Molly Bee Mosrite Guitar AdWhen Molly was growing up, she first wanted to be a “prima ballerina”. She was taught how to sing and yodel by her brother, but at that time (when she was about six years old), singing didn’t impress her as much as dancing.

Then the family moved to Tuscon, Arizona where Molly continued her dancing lessons. She performed at many of the usual venues - childrens shows, recitals, at school and at church - and at the same time, feeling quite at home on the stage.

When she was ten years old, a popular disc jockey in Tuscon heard her singing at a school play. Rex Allen liked her rendition of “Lovesick Blues” so much, that he had her on his show a few days later. It was about that time that singing became more a focus than dancing.

Shortly after this experience on radio in Arizona, the family (she had two brothers), moved to Hollywood, California. She attended Wilson Junior High in Pasadena.

You will read often that other artists will cite another singer as someone who influenced them or sparked that interest early in their lives. One such singer by the name Weslia Whitfield cited the impression Molly made on her in a 1993 article in the Wall Street Journal. Ms. Whitfield recalled for the WSJ that one of her earliest memories was from a visit to her grandparents house in Los Angeles, California to watch their television back around 1949 or so. She vividly recalls watching the Red Owen show and seeing this young singer named Molly Bee perform. She said Molly’s trademark back then was to come on stage without any shoes on. Seeing Molly perform, Ms. Whitfield told herself then, “That’s what I’m going to do.”

1950s

A 1956 article featuring Cliffie Stone relates how Molly Bee was introduced to country music audiences. Cliffie had met Tennessee Ernie Ford while working at KXLA in Pasadena, California and persuaded him to join his troupe on the weekends and their travels around southern California. Cliffie was working for Capitol Records at the time as well and secured a recording contract for Mr. Ford. It wasn’t too long before he was introduced to a young twelve year old named Molly Beachboard. She sang “Lovesick Blues” for Cliffie as well and soon she was appearing on his shows and had a recording contract.

Molly Bee got a recording contract with Capitol records when she was just 13 years old and was starring on radio and tv and personal appearances. She was still much the teenager, wearing pigtails, attending junior high. She got her start singing when she was ten years old, in Tucson, Arizona - and she had a 15 minute show there on the NBC network station there.

She got that start when Al Morris, a hillbilly dj on KCNA in Tucson heard her sing and she impressed him so much, he got station executives to listen to her, too. But Tucson wasn’t enough. Hollywood was on her mind, too.

When she got to Hollywood, Cliffie Stone saw her on tv and got her to start appearing regularly on the Hometown Jamboree over KLAC-TV and also the radio version of the show over KXLA radio out of Pasadena. The Hometown Jamboree originated from the El Monte Legion Stadium. One of the long-time sponsors of the show as Gold’s Furniture Store, who had sponsored the show for at least five years at the time of the 1953 article we found. The show later moved to the Harmony Park Ballroom in Anaheim, California.

She was quite popular with the audiences then. She became a regular on the daily Pinky Lee NBC-TV show. She was also doing regular appearances on the Bob Crosby Show with fellow Jamboree vocalist, Joanie O’Brien. She also worked with such stars as Ed Sullivan, Roy Rogers, Jimmy Rodgers, Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny and Bob Hope over the years.

Her recording of “Tennessee Tango” was scored by arranger-conductor Van Alexander - giving it some background music that had clarinets and saxophones. It was Mr. Alexander in 1937 who wrote and conducted a tune called “A-tisket A-tasket” for Ella Fitzgerald and got her career on the move.

Her first release did so well, that it got followed quickly by a Christmas recording called�“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”�and�“Willy Claus”.

By 1955, Cliffie Stone had moved the Hometown Jamboree to the Valley Gardens Arena in North Hollywood, California. Members of the show’s cast would make regular appearances in the southern California area. Country and Western Jamboree magazine had a regular column called “On The Trail” where they listed personal appearances being made by various acts. Throughout 1955, the magazine listed Molly as part of the Hometown Jamboree at the Valley Gardens Arena each week.

They described her singing style then as ‘…youthful exuberance, strong jazz sense and reads lyrics with a maturity far beyond her years.” Her first recording was�“Tennessee Tango”�along with�“The Kids Who Pay”.

In 1955, she was signed by Coral Records. But it appears the record company wanted to stretch her audience. A note in one 1955 news report indicated that Coral was going to have her record both country and pop material. At the time, she was a regular not only on Cliffie Stone’s�Hometown Jamboree, but�Tennessee Ernie Ford’s show as well.

Country and Western Jamboree had a regular “Checkin’ The Records” section in their magazine where they listed the new singles released and offered some commentary about the music they heard on those records. But at times, those reviews appeared to be trying too hard for lame humor. But in May of 1955, while trying to provoke a smile to the reader, they offer up the contrast in the two sides of a Coral records release by Molly. One was�“I Won’t Grow Up”�that was backed by a tune called�“False Alarm”, which was about a cheater in love. Keep in mind, she was only 16 at the time. This aspect of a young singer singing a tune that fit her age group but also singing of more mature, adult themes may not be all that uncommon. Let’s think back to when Tanya Tucker came on the scene and was singing such tunes as “Delta Dawn”.

Country and Western Jamboree magazine mentioned another of her Coral releases in April of 1956 and it is interesting to note the themes of the material. For one side,�“Fair Weather Fellow”, the magazine notes that she knows he’s fickle and their love will soon come to an end. On the other side,�“Young and Naive”, the magazine tells us its a song about a young lady who has found a new love, but hopes “…he won’t find out she’s so young.”

A 1967 article tells us that in her first personal appearance, she borke the six-year attendance record at the Mesker Auditorium in Evansville, Indiana. She then went on to break the attendance record at the Ohio State Fair.

Molly appeared in several movies in her career, but as we’ll see later from a 1975 interview, she didn’t feel she did too well as an actress. She felt she was “too shy” and said they weren’t ‘released’, they ‘escaped’. Her first movie was in 1958 with Allan Reed, Jr., Bill Goodwin, Ralph Moody, Ken Miller, Susan Easter and Irene Hervey in a film for Columbia called�“Going Steady”�. She later did�“Summer Love”�for Universal International in 1958 with such folks as John Saxon, Jill St. John, Troy Donohue, Fay Wray, Rod McKuen, Shelley Fabares, George Winslow, and Edward Platt. Other movies included�“The Chartroose Caboose”�in 1960 (starring such folks as Ben Cooper, Edgar Buchanan, Slim Pickens, Michael McGreevey, and Kay Bartels) and�in 1963, “The Young Swingers”�(her co-stars included Rod Lauren, Gene McDaniels, Jack Larson, Karen Gunderson, John Merritt, Jo Helton, Justin Smith, Jerry Summers and Jack Younger). According to the online movie database resource, imdb.com, she first appeared in a “musical-featurette” for Universal that starred Tennessee Ernie Ford, Cliffie Stone, Herman the Hermit, Billy Strange, Bucky Tibbs and the rest of the Hometown Jamboree gang.

1960s

She even did a bit of stage work. Her first effort was in San Francisco at the Garden Court Theater in the Sheraton Palace Hotel in “The Boy Friend.” Around 1967, she did “Finian’s Rainbow” with ALan Young at the Melodyland theatre in Anaheim.

Johnny Tillotson, Homer and Jethro, Molly Bee and Jimmy DeanMolly also did several appearances on the�Jimmy Dean�network television show. Another network show she worked on was�Swinging Countrywhich was hosted by the newest member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Roy Clark.

Molly gave an interview to Country Song Roundup magazine back in 1975 that provides some interesting insights into her career, observations and her life.

At the time, she had been on a rest from her musical career, living in Las Vegas and raising her two daughters. She, in her mind, she was becoming quite domestic back then. She had gone to a bingo game or some such gathering and some would recognize her and ask her, “Didn’t you used to be Molly Bee?”.

She had kept in contact with Cliffie Stone all through her career. She had come to a point where she decided a divorce was needed as well as a change of scenery by taking her daughters and moving back to California to try and take up her singing career again.

Molly Bee and the Four PrepsShe told CSR magzaine that life in Las Vegas was similar to Tucson and not just weather wise. She noted that everybody knew what everyone else was doing and the focus is all local - the rest of the world they just ignored. She called it “very small ownie”.

But she noted, if you forgot to pick up your cleaning, you could still do it at 2am or you could go and get your hair done at midnight. She said you just don’t spend time on the strip doing “the tourist thing.”

She mentions she was married for a time to a boss at the Tropicana Hotel and observed that its not a very anti-social type of setting, no one seemed to mix much. She was accustomed to being around a lot of people and a lot of activity going on. She notes, that in the Las Vegas gaming business, “You just don’t fraternize.”

The subject of her very young start in the entertainment industry came up. She was asked if she felt she had missed out on anything. She replied that she felt she actually did more - “I lived six lifetimes in one.” She told CSR that if her kids decided they wanted to be in the music business, even at a young age, she hoped they would have as much fun as she did. She had gone around the world by the time she was just 19 years old. She recalls working with “incredible people and always into where the action was.” Granted it wasn’t all glamor - the long trips, sitting in airporst all night and the like, but she says, “I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

She told CSR that she started becoming conscious that she might be a celebrity when she would notice that people would point or stare at her in public places such as restaurants. She notes her first date was with Stan Freeburg. Then it got to her a bit, causing her to be self-conscious, and began a routine of trying to duck the sit down restaurants and doing the drive-in lane, trying to avoid too much visibility so she could feel comfortable when she was out and about.

One of the reasons for the interview was the restart of her singing career and more of a focus on her recordings. She notes it had been a while between records, but noted she had never really focused on that aspect. Up to that point, the focus had been on personal appearances at state fairs, rodeos, concerts, television spots and movies. Touring to promote a record was new to her after being in the entertainment business for 25 years.

Molly Bee and Tennessee ErnieShe told CSR that her nine years with the Tennessee Ernie Ford show were the most enjoyable years. She told the readers that she was home most of the time, got to see her family everyday. Yet, she was still “…being seen by a million people and don’t even realize it.” She opined, “It’s scary when you go out on the road and there’s thousands of people in little towns that you had no idea of, who had known everything about you.”

She was asked whether the attitude of people on the club scene had changed towards female enertainers since the 1960s. She replied that she had not performed at clubs much - felt it was the hardest personal appearance to do. She had started her career again by doing mostly specials, recordings and television, including an appearance on Hee Haw and the Wembley Music Festival in London. She felt doing those two or three shows a night in the club scene was perhaps one of the toughest roles to play.

When she got back into the entertainment business again in 1975, she wanted to give her recording career a bigger emphasis - she wanted that hit record. But she also wanted to be a part of a television series - a situation that would allow her to be at home and be with her children. She fond that the travels caused her phone bills to sky rocket.

Finally, CSR asked her if she had changed her singing style now that she had matured. She noted that “I understand things now that were just words to me before. I think I’ve finally got around to maturing.” She further noted, “I worked twenty years without really stopping and you cna’t relate to real people unless you’ve lived something normal.” For example, she notes, “they handed me my first baby and I didn’t know how to tune her. I said this won’t get in tune. OK, it was crazy, but having kids, I learned you could get so involved in aoother person. The first time you’re around little babies, you discover they got you. You just die for them. It was the first time I ever felt anything like that and it’s changed my outlook on everything.”

1990s and Later

Molly left an impression with the folks she entertained. While reviewing old articles that mention Molly, we found a memory a disc jockey by the name of Dave Hull told the Orange County Register in an interview upon returning to KRLA. He said he was going to start doing the old “Love Line” segment on his show again which tried to match up single guys and gals. He recalled a caller by the name of Floyd who once called up and well, had no love life to speak of. But Floyd did get the biggest kick out of seeing Molly perform in concerts out in Blythe, California.

Perhaps by this time Molly was no longer traveling across the country doing personal appearances, but would still make appearances in southern California. In April of 1998, she was part of a roster of entertainers playing a benefit for the Ivey Ranch Park for the physically handicapped and mentally retarded, using the Old West as a back-drop to the benefit. The concert was held in Oceanside, California at the park across from the Mission San Luis Rey.

In 1991, the Sterling Silver Inn at 8737 Fenwick Street in Sunland, California was trying to offer live entertainment to its audiences, but did not want to hire its own band. The owners, Ruben Carranza and Ronald Battaglia, decided to bring some traditional country music acts to town. One was Johnny Lee. On August 9, 1997, Cliffie Stone along with the Riders of the Purple Sage and Molly were to appear; admission was $20.

After Cliffie Stone died in 1998, his wife Joan would organize an annual tribute concert to Cliffie that would include many of the former people associated with him and theHometown Jamboree. The benefit concert, sponsored by the Music Performance Trust Fund, was held at the William S. Hart Park in Newhall, California in 1998 and continued to be a venue for the tribute show. Molly appeared on the roster for that tribute in 1998 along with the Riders of the Purple Sage and the Al Vescovo band among others, and would always feature the local talent who were trying to get some exposure as well. Entertainment ran from noon to 5:00pm. In 2001, Molly again appeared on the show and was touted as an original member of the Hometown Jamboree as part of the entertainment lineup that day. The event went from 11:30am to 5:00pm and was free to the public. The Music Performance Trust Fund sponsored the concert.

Later in life, she may have changed her mind about ‘clubs’. We learned from that question and answer column that Molly had her own club in Oceaside, California. Acts that would appear at her club included such folks as Tommy Sands, who appeared there in November of 1992 for two shows a night for two nights; . Molly Bee’s Club was located at 1903 Hill Street in Oceanside. In 1993, there was live dancing Thursday through Sunday and had no cover charge.

Molly was married seven times according to a question and answer column that answered a reader’s question about Molly.
