  • Oscars Preview: Inside This Year's Governor's Ball | Today's News: Our Take | 2/20/2008
    With the Academy Awards celebrating its 80th year this Sunday, Feb. 24, it seems only fitting that the Governor’s Ball roll out the red carpet in grand fashion. Thus the occasion’s chosen color scheme: red-carpet red and the gold of an Oscar statuette. Inside the doors of Hollywood & Highland Center’s Grand Ballroom, the scene will be one of elegance and contemporary glamour with a multilevel layout featuring nine different sections, all with their own flair. Red roses with sprays of yellow gemstar will adorn the tables along with Kartell lamps. Whimsical glass bubbles set off by firefly lights will float from the ceiling. Taking the stage will be the 12-member orchestra Pink Martini. Further entertainment comes by way of music stylist and radio host Jason Bentley.Beyond celebrity attendees like George Clooney and Julia Roberts, the main attraction of the annual event is always cuisine created by the world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. "Simple and refined, that's w... read more
  • Tours of Booty: Concerts Hit an All-time High Note | Today's News: Our Take | 12/29/2006
    Led by the road trips of the Rolling Stones ($138.5 million in gross receipts), Barbra Streisand ($92.5 mil) and the country combo of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ($88.8 mil), North American concert-ticket revenue hit an all-time high of $3.6 billion in 2006, besting the year prior by 16 percent. Noting that the average ticket price ($61.45) was only up eight percent from '05, the editor in chief of trade mag Pollstar tells the AP, "That's a good sign for business" — especially when you factor in all the K-Fed refunds. read more
  • Tony Bennett's Instant Classic | Matt Roush | 11/21/2006
    Consider this an unqualified rave. NBC is offering a deluxe sweeps and holiday treat in Tuesday’s prime-time special Tony Bennett: An American Classic (8/7c), which is as lustrously filmed as it is impeccably sung. For those of us who’ve been waiting for Oscar-nominated director Rob Marshall (Chicago) to tackle a new musical project, here it is. Marshall has lovingly conceived and masterfully executed a shimmering, swinging hour of razzle-dazzle showmanship that redefines what a variety special can be.I’m tempted to say they don’t make ’em like this anymore, but the truth is, even back when they did, they didn’t make ’em this good very often. (What this special reminded me of most, especially in the elaborate and evocative production numbers, was Bob Fosse’s landmark Liza With a Z special that Showtime so magnificently resurrected and restored earlier this year.)This is the rare music special that looks as good as it sounds. And it sounds spec... read more
  • Musical Notes: Rock Hall of Fame Names New Nominees | Today's News: Our Take | 11/1/2006
    This year's nominees for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are Van Halen, R.E.M., Chic, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Patti Smith, the Dave Clark Five, the Ronettes, Joe Tex, and the Stooges. The annual ceremony will be held March 12 in NYC.... On Monday night, for at least the third time during her 20-city tour, Barbra Streisand was targeted — this time in the form of a thrown drink — by a heckler unhappy with a skit in which she pokes fun at President Bush.... The Rolling Stones have pushed back four more concert dates and canceled one (in Honolulu), due to Mick Jagger's throat troubles. read more
