Hillary Clinton - Disunion Over Sag Solidarity

Although it was scheduled to hold a "solidarity" rally in Los Angeles this
morning (Monday), the Screen Actors Guild was being accused of disruptive
tactics aimed at dominating union affairs in the industry in general and those
of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists in particular. "SAG
Goes to War Against AFTRA," headlined Daily Variety, citing SAG's
efforts to encourage members who hold joint membership in AFTRA to vote down
the recent pact signed by AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and
Television Producers. Reporting on SAG's strategy the Los Angeles Times
accused the union of "attempting to throw a monkey wrench" into the
agreement with AFTRA. The newspaper quoted Paul Christie, a former president of
SAG's New York local and a current member of the union's national board, as
saying, "Asking dual cardholders to vote down a contract for one of the unions
that they work under is possibly the most idiotic course to date." Today's
Hollywood Reporter said that AFTRA President Roberta Reardon is planning
to discuss SAG's reported decision to spend $75,000 to "educate" dual members
about the AFTRA deal. Reardon and AFTRA national executive director Kim Roberts
Hedgpeth called SAG's tactics "unprecedented interference" and warned "that we
would view any attempt by SAG or its leadership to undermine or interfere with
our ratification process as a violation of both the law and the AFL-CIO
constitution." Summing up SAG's recent course of action, veteran industry
journalist Alex Ben Block, wrote on his Hollywood Today website, "The Screen
Actors Guild is becoming the Hillary Clinton of the Hollywood labor movement.
... Like Hillary Clinton, SAG won't give up even though it has become clear it
can't win the battle on the terms it has laid out. Instead of looking for a
graceful exit, and a deal that will keep its members working and the industry
going, SAG leaders still beat the war drums."

Lily Allen's TV show fails to attract viewers

Lily Allen's fresh talk testify failed to pull in a significant number of tV audience, when it aired as role of BBC3's re-launch on Tues night.
The pop isaac M. Singer has turned TV presenter with 'Lily Allen and Friends', so far the high school profile TV bear witness attracted simply 255,000 viewing audience, around 2% of the audience ploughshare according to reports.
The first-class honours degree night guests were Hollywood worker Cuba Gooding Jr and comedian Saint David Margaret Mitchell.
Despite the figures a spokeswoman for the digital channel said: "It's a solid startle for the show. It's only if the number one one just it performed truly well with the 16-34 eld grouping."
About interview members were reported to have walked out of the recording because they were so bored.

Though his distinguish barely registers among to the highest degree of the Krautrock clerisy, Schickert was both prolific in the back scenes as well as organism an important creative person. Along with the better-known Achim Reichel, Schickert pioneered the echo guitar, where the repeated guitar tones make unequalled multi-layered textures that remove the musical instrument rather beyond the ordinary.





Schickert was combat-ready through much of the mid-sixties in the Berlin free-jazz painting, though it wasn't until 1974 that his low base album, Samtvogel came taboo, self-released by Schickert in a low clutch. The record album was alone enough that it was promptly snatched up by the fabled Brain label, and they reissued the record the pursual twelvemonth. Samtvogel is quite similar to Manuel Gottsching's like solo-guitar album Inventions for Electric car Guitar, where guitar sounds ar layered and superimposed on round crest of to each one other to create new hypnotic textures.


In 1973 Schickert founded the trio Gam, with guitar player Axel Struck and percussionist Michael Aleska, and with Schickert on guitar, vocals and trumpet this group created a unequaled kind of freaked-out space sway. Gam recorded close to cram roger Samuel Huntington Roger Huntington Sessions in 1976, which were in the end released on cassette in 1986 coroneted Gam 1976, and an unreleased record album called Eiszeit in 1978.


At this time Schickert was besides creating medicine for a theatre company, and yet playacting live on stage in around of the productions. He likewise served as a roadie for electronic euphony pioneer Klaus Schulze, and sometimes played live with Schulze as well. Schickert's moment solo album, Uberfallig, came out in 1979 on Sky Records, this clip with Jacques Charles Heuer on drums to augment Schickert's echo guitar textures.


In the 1880s Schickert's ferment in dramaturgy production continued, and he likewise took region in a duet of bands, No Battery-acid Orchestra and Ziguri Self Zoological garden. A third gear album under his own name, this one a totally solo effort with him on guitar, tapes, vocals, percussion, and trumpet, Kinder der Wildnes, from 1983 only came out on cassette, though it showed that Schickert was expanding into a wider kitchen stove of musical theater styles. Another collection, Somnabal, was released in 1995 on CD with music from passim the decennary and a one-half in front that. Though his recordings ar few and hard to fulminate go through, particularly the debut Samtvogel, Schickert is an groundbreaking ceremony music maker wHO deserves more notice.

Young Buck Responds To 50 Cent's Allegations With New Song

Young Buck Responds To 50 Cent's Allegations With New Song

As of now, Young Buck still hasn't formally answered MTV News's requests for comment on allegations made a few days ago by 50 Cent and G-Unit — allegations that drug problems (including cocaine and syrup) and inconsistent behavior were among the reasons why he was dismissed from the group. However, on Saturday afternoon (April 19), Buck's camp did reach out, e-mailing us a new song by the Tennessee MC.
As predicted by 50 Cent, Buck did respond to the Unit's MTV interview in song, but it's not the loaded dis anthem Fif was expecting. Buck's new record is called "My Interview" and he speaks frankly in the song about some of the recent issues.
"Damn right I'm sipping syrup, flipping birds to get what I deserve," Buck raps in the opening verse. "And I hear the same things that you heard/ That '50 kicked him out' or 'Buck sniffs coke and he flips out'/ It's too late, the whole world know what I be about/ Sh--, I do make mistakes like any other man/ Sh--, I recoup off an album, quicker than you can ... Am I loyal? Dr. Dre can answer that for ya."
The second verse — although Buck doesn't mention 50's or his own name — could be interpreted as a reference to his and Fif's once-close relationship and its deterioration. Buck makes Biblical references to Cane and Abel in the lyrics.
On the chorus, an unknown performer sings, "It ain't nothing I ain't been through/ Seen the evil sh-- that men do."
Buck comes in, declaring, "This ain't nothing to me."
The singer rejoins the chorus, crooning, "Muthaf---- we ain't been cool."
As the record closes out, Buck ends with a sermon-like rhyme, admitting "I had my hand and nose in the 'D.' "
Although it is still unclear where the song will officially appear, producer J.A. recently told MTV News that he and Buck are working on a mixtape called Honorable Discharge: Cashville Chronicles that should be out in the coming weeks. Buck also has a DVD called "A Billion Buck$" slated for release on June 10.
Although he is no longer a member of the group, Buck is still signed to G-Unit Records. According to 50, Buck will also appear on the Unit's Terminate On Sight LP when it is released on June 24.
