London crowds say farewell to punk pioneer McLaren
LONDON - Hundreds of people lined the streets of north London Thursday to say farewell to punk pioneer and former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, who died earlier this month of cancer aged 64. His horse-drawn coffin was painted with the words "too fast to live, too young to die," and Sex Pistol Sid Vicious' version of "My Way" blared from a green double decker bus which was part of the sun-kissed funeral cortege.
"South Park" airs censored episode after threat
LOS ANGELES - Satirical animated TV show "South Park" beeped out the words Prophet Muhammad and plastered its Wednesday episode with the word "CENSORED" after being issued a grim warning by a U.S. Muslim group. The irreverent comedy show on Comedy Central also substituted a controversial image seen last week of the Prophet Muhammad in a bear outfit with one of Santa Claus in the same costume.
Film fetes small steps to address climate change
NEW YORK - If "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's Oscar-winning 2006 film on global warming, left audiences depressed about the planet's future, a new film from the same executive producers is designed to lift spirits. "Climate of Change" premieres at New York's Tribeca Film Festival Thursday -- Earth Day -- and focuses on the efforts by individuals from around the world to reduce their personal carbon footprint while fighting business interests they say threaten the environment.
Kelly Clarkson flies into smoke storm
JAKARTA - Chart-topping American singer Kelly Clarkson has sparked a smoke storm because her planned concert in Indonesia next week is sponsored by a cigarette manufacturer. Clarkson, who shot to fame in 2002 after winning the hit TV show American Idol in its debut season, is due to appear at the 20,000-capacity Senayan indoor stadium in the capital, Jakarta, on April 29.
NCAA signs $10.8 billion basketball tourney TV deal
CHICAGO - The NCAA said on Thursday it signed a new $10.8 billion deal with CBS Corp and Time Warner Inc's Turner Broadcasting for the media rights to its popular and soon-to-expand men's college basketball tournament. The 14-year broadcast, Internet and wireless rights deal replaces one the NCAA had with CBS, which aired the championship game won this year by Duke University, and runs from 2011 to 2024.
Ogre "Shrek" looms in 3D to open Tribeca festival
NEW YORK - The fourth and final movie of the animated "Shrek" series opened the Tribeca film festival on Wednesday night, but this time in 3D, marking the festival's shift from independent fare to more commercial movies. Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz walked down a green carpet that matched the color of the giant ogre beloved by adults and children. The first three "Shrek" movies have raked in more than $2.2 billion at the worldwide box office.
Tim Urban out as "Idol" raises millions for charity
NEW YORK - Time finally ran out for "American Idol" contestant Tim Urban on Wednesday as Elton John, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood and The Black Eyed Peas all took to the stage for a fund-raising special benefiting children's, hunger and health charities. Urban's elimination came at the very end of the TV singing contest's "Idol Gives Back" show and followed his uninspired performance of "Better Days" during the show's inspirational song-themed week mentored by Keys.
Patti Smith rescued from penury by song royalties
LOS ANGELES - Not every rock 'n' roll icon is awash in cash. Some, like rock poetess Patti Smith, have endured hard times fairly recently in their careers. Smith, receiving a lifetime achievement award in Hollywood on Wednesday from songwriting royalties group ASCAP, recalled how the 1994 death of her husband, punk rocker Fred "Sonic" Smith, left her a widowed mother of two young children.
Cartoon Network reviving "Looney Tunes"
LOS ANGELES - Cartoon Network is launching its first awards show and ramping up its efforts in the live-action arena. The network also said Wednesday during its "upfront" presentation to advertisers that it is launching a new version of Warner Bros.' classic "Looney Tunes" series starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
"The Losers" an action film for ADD sufferers
LOS ANGELES - "The Losers" is a cartoonish nonstop action movie in which characters zip around the world, breaking, entering and blowing things up without any pretense to logic. It's a world devoid of any geopolitics, connective tissue, human backgrounds or ideals other than greed and self-preservation. It is, of course, a Warner Bros. actioner adapted from a comic book series. Characters are two-dimensional, but the actors all play them with vigor, each focusing on a single outstanding feature of his character, so their interplay within the bullet-splattering sequences has resonance.
