Musicians get their close-ups in cable documentary series
LOS ANGELES - Mos Def is in a Tokyo hotel room, wearing a bathrobe and smoking a cigarette. He's holding forth on the differences between Japanese and American culture, revealing how impressed he is by the intensity of the local hip-hop fans who have been filling clubs for a week to see him perform. It's an intriguing look at the thought process behind his charismatic onstage persona -- and it's all part of the debut episode of "Embedded," cable channel Current TV's hour-long music documentary program that airs weekly starting October 14.
Brad Pitt honored for humanitarian work in New Orleans
NEW YORK - Actor Brad Pitt was honored on Thursday for his humanitarian work in helping rebuild hurricane-ravaged New Orleans at former U.S. President Bill Clinton's philanthropic summit, the Clinton Global Initiative. Pitt was presented with a plaque from the U.S. Green Building Council which said the actor and his foundation "Make It Right" had created the "largest and greenest single-family community in the world."
Jackson lost will to live, confidante says
LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson lost the will to live in recent years, a former close confidante said on Friday, as scores of fans camped out to be the first to see the singer's final appearance in the "This is It" movie. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, appearing on NBC's "Today" show, unveiled lengthy conversations he taped with Jackson during their 1999-2001 friendship, and said the "Thriller" singer suffered deep emotional pain.
Spoof shows turn tables on celebrity obsession
LOS ANGELES - Watch out Britney, Octomom and Paris! Shows spoofing your fame are piling up faster than celebrity magazines in a hair salon, and they include a stage musical and animated TV programs. "Popzilla," the latest show to declare open season on Hollywood celebrities and their reality TV kissing cousins, will premiere on cable television's MTV on Monday.
Renowned Spanish pianist de Larrocha dead at 86
MADRID - Alicia de Larrocha, a former child prodigy considered by many to have been the best Spanish pianist in history, has died in Barcelona at the age of 86, officials said. "She was an extraordinary ambassador for Spain," Culture Minister Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde said in a news release following the death of the petite pianist, who was less than 5-feet tall, in Barcelona's Quiron Hospital on Friday night.
Dancing teens, robots face off at box office
LOS ANGELES - The Lion will try to get its distribution roar back this weekend, but its female-targeting musical "Fame" will have to fend off a couple other wannabe kings of the box-office jungle. Disney sends out the sci-fi thriller "Surrogates," and Sony expects a solid sophomore session for last weekend's No. 1 movie, the 3D animated "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs." All three pictures appear certain to ring up at least midteen millions through Sunday and have the potential to break from the pack to top the weekend rankings.
"Beautiful Life" ends after two episodes
LOS ANGELES - After only two episodes, Ashton Kutcher's scripted drama "The Beautiful Life" has become the first victim of the new fall season. The CW has canceled the show, which starred Mischa Barton as one of a group of models sharing living quarters in New York. It was created by Kutcher and Adam Giaudrone.
Flaming Lips dial down the whimsy on "Embryonic"
NEW YORK - In the wee hours of the morning on Monday, September 14, Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne was signing autographs after his band performed at upstate New York's All Tomorrow's Parties festival when a burly young fan approached him with a length of industrial strap. Coyne recognized it as one of his own, used for tying down equipment like the large cannons that shoot confetti into the crowd throughout the band's stage show. The fan told Coyne the strap had been shot out of the cannon and hit him in the chest, but he calmly handed it back, got his shirt signed and walked away. This isolated incident symbolizes a few things about the Lips -- their fans love them with a devotion that borders on insanity, the group's live shows are such spectacles that flying straps might very well be part of the festivities, and they're one of the luckier bands around.
"Fame" remake rides money-spinning musicals wave
LOS ANGELES - A family-friendly remake of the 1980 movie "Fame" swings into theaters on Friday, riding a lucrative wave of song-and-dance shows on the big and small screen. Aimed squarely at young girls, the 2009 version of New York performing arts high school students hoping to live their dreams is as squeaky-clean as director Alan Parker's original was gritty.
NY film festival kicks off with Resnais film
NEW YORK - Legendary French film maker Alain Resnais on Friday dismissed the notion that cinema was dying, saying he expected it to survive changes in the way films are being made and distributed. Resnais, 87, spoke after a screening of his new film, "Wild Grass" at the opening of the 17-day New York Film Festival.
