Girl how are you doing right not?

Girl I’m doing so fucking good. We all knew it was coming. The second she started photo shopping herself into photos with him at the gym I knew it was over. It was a perfect paparazzi photo moment. I’m going to the gym together. But he refused. And it was odd to me. He was going out of his way to not go to the gym with her. I thought we were wrong because of the fact that she was at the concert with her kids but that just shows me that she had no idea. I truly think that she didn’t know it coming out as soon as it was. On Twitter VisiblyBi talked about how Olivia apparently used James Corden to get into the concerts. Apparently she hasn’t been allowed in for a while. She exhausted her connections with Jeff and the Tommy’s and they weren’t able to help her, then started using Ben Harper and his wife around Halloween and there was a reason why she wasn’t with Harries management at the concert anymore. Then after Ben Harper couldn’t get her into the concert anymore she used James Corden to get in. That’s why we saw her the family and friends actions with a lanyard. Then all of a sudden she’s in the pit by herself, then gone before the concert ended. She try to go to make it look like they were happy and good. That article the day after reeks like it came from her team. Then the break up article was announced a day later. I truly think she had no idea what was happening. I think Carrie wasn’t obligated to be around her anymore. If you go onto Google you can see that don’t worry darling came out on the 17th in Thailand. That’s the last premier an opening that it had. Not to mention it’s now on streaming services. Harry’s contractual obligation to be with Olivia is over. And I think he wanted it to be done as soon as possible. It’s not a coincidence that the stunt was over not long after The final premiere in Thailand, the movie being put on streaming services, couple weekends before Thanksgiving, at the end of the LA residency and right before his South America residency and not long before Christmas. I don’t think he wanted her hijacking the South America to her, I don’t think he wanted her around her and the holidays and he is not contractually obligated to be around her anymore. Which is why he put out the break up article. Next year is going to be a really big year for Harry, with him continuing his tour abroad, the Grammys, the BRIT Awards not to mention acting awards for my policeman if it gets nominated. We might see him at some award shows but at the end of the day it’s a big year for him next year and I don’t think he wanted her around for it anymore. I think the last time that they had to be seen together was after the whole nanny story came out and now he’s free. I think she’s pissed off, I think she is annoyed because her meal ticket is gone. The thing that made her relevant, her 15 minutes of fame is over. You have so many of her fan sites deleting their Instagram‘s, deleting their Twitter‘s, making their Twitter is private, changing their Instagram handles. And forgetting about her. We all knew it was coming to an end, the signs were there and not to mention during the last couple months of the stunts she was bad for business. She was bad for his image. And the second he was able to drop Her he did. I don’t know why anyone thought that this relationship is real but it’s stupid if he did

n "Lost Souls" by Doves

Here's another very worthy album

by a highly regarded British band that's gotten lost in England's ongoing pop-music

disconnect with the former colonies.

However, this Manchester trio is

beginning -- begrudgingly -- to find an American audience.

This debut album by brothers Jez

(guitar and Andy (drums Williams and singer-bassist Jimi Goodwin was nominated

for all the big U.K. awards last year and has been insinuating itself slowly

over here (now, you actually can check it out on Tower Records' listening stations.

With relatively new acts such as

Travis, Dido, David Gray and Coldplay finally re-establishing a small U.K. presence

here, Doves could be next.

That's mostly because their music

-- an often mesmerizing blend of Brit-pop, psychedelia, drum 'n' bass, trip-hop

and melodic techno and goth -- isn't as Anglocentric as many other quality U.K.

bands.

This is a swirling -- alternately

agitated and soothing -- sonic experience reminiscent of the Verve's breakthrough

"Urban Hymns" album (1997 in its ambition and sonic diversity.

Three "bonus" tracks were added

to the American version, extending its playing time to 15 tracks and 72:18.

It's a lot to digest.

Of course, Wigan's Verve (and frontman

Richard Ashcroft are obvious influences, but Doves -- Damon Gough, now known

as Badly Drawn Boy, once was a member -- also shows signs of Mancunian pioneers

Joy Division, New Order and Stone Roses as well as their Manchester contemporaries

in Oasis.

"Catch the Sun," a driving, melodic,

grungy rocker with lots of dirty guitars and a Foo Fighters toughness, could

break through here, thanks to the lyric's hopeful -- and universal -- tone of

encouragement and the New Order-style chorus.

So could a deeply rhythmic, darkly

psychedelic swirl like "The Cedar Room," a huge-sounding dreamscape reminiscent

of Oasis with its thumping pulse, morose lyric ("I didn't notice it's a crime

too few/I didn't notice it's a crime to feel" and layers of haunting, chiming

guitars.

The band slips easily from dark,

spacy instrumental atmospherics such as "Firesuite," owing an obvious debt to

Pink Floyd; to pretty, chiming balladry ("Break Me Gently," with its distorted

vocal and spacy effects; slightly paranoid dramatics ("Sea Song," with its

insistent, acoustic-based chime, rhythmic bashing and curious sound samples;

the street-beat psychedelia of "Rise" (with its anthemic spirit and bizarre

harmonica solo; the barebones mantra of the skeletal title tune, with its echoes

of Joy Division and New Order; and the ominous, flame-licked mood of "A House,"

an acoustic-based, Billy Bragg-style ballad.

While a tune such as "The Man Who

Sold Everything," a chimey, spooky, string-accented ballad, seems to reflect

on the inner turmoil and conflict of doing one's thing in public, Doves reveals

a more uplifting attitude on "Here It Comes," a slinky, snaky, darkly twanging

rush of Stone Roses psychedelia ("Here comes my day in the sun".

On "Melody Calls," a jaunty midtempo

strut with mocking-chiming guitars and effects creating counterpoint, music

becomes therapeutic and revitalizing as Williams sings, "The words don't come

so easy/She can't say what's inside/The sounds they do speak for me/The sounds

remain forever/Stays with her 'til morning time."

Doves play Wednesday at Bimbo's

365 Club, 1025 Columbus Ave., S.F.

Procol Harum were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' the group's only UK No.1. In 2004 the song was named the most played record of the past 70 years. More than 900 recorded versions by other artists are known.

David Bowie started a four-week run at the top of the UK charts with his third No.1 album 'Diamond Dogs'. The cover art features Bowie as a striking half-man, half-dog grotesque painted by Belgian artist Guy Peellaert. It was controversial as the full painting clearly showed the hybrid's genitalia. Very few copies of this original cover made their way into circulation at the time of the album's release.

1974 - Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was at No.1 on the US country chart with 'I Will Always Love You'. Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to cover the song. Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded. Parton refused. 'I Will Always Love You' later became a worldwide No.1 hit for Whitney Houston in 1992 when featured in The Bodyguard.

1974 - Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney and Wings went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Band On The Run'. 'George Harrison unwittingly contributed the first line of one part of the song: "If we ever get out of here" when he said it during one of the many Beatles' business meetings.

“As a country musician, I was always told it’s better to stay out of [politics]. The Trump presidency forced me to lean in and educate myself. I found myself talking about government and the presidency and policy with my boyfriend, who supported me in speaking out. I started talking to my family and friends about politics and learning as much as I could about where I stand. I’m proud to have moved past fear and self-doubt, and to endorse and support leadership that moves us beyond this divisive, heartbreaking moment in time.”

Feburary 17th – It’s announced that Joe will play Nick in an adaptation of Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney, and he posts about the book being one of his favorites from the last few years. (x)

(via cametotheshowinsd)

May 12th – The next morning, Taylor is papped at the airport getting ready to leave London for Belfast. (x)

In the candids, her bodyguards are carrying a ton of boxes and luggage to the plane, so it’s pretty safe to assume she’s going to be there with him for a while. (x) 

May 22nd – In an IG livestream, Griff talks about meeting Taylor backstage at the BRIT awards. (x)

“I walked away obviously thinking there were so many other things i should have said and asked, but I was like 'How was your night? Hi! yeah! Great! Thanks! Cool!’ We sat down and she was talking about how she's always at Hampstead Heath, and lives in London, and I'm like 'Why? How? Crazy! Cool!'”

May 23rd – Taylor (and most likely Joe) are in Lurgan, Northern Ireland. (x)

June 11th – Sasha Lane (Joe’s CWF co-star) posts a photo of him holding Olivia the cat. (x) (x)

The photo appears to be from the same night as this post of Sasha and Alison from Jun 6. 

It’s pretty likely that Joe and Taylor had the cast over for dinner over the weekend, especially because Olivia is there too and they wouldn’t have brought her to a co-star’s house.

June 11th – Joe does a camera roll dump on his IG story, and it’s likely that Taylor took these two photos.

June 21st – Taylor leaves Belfast for Nashville. Around the same time, the CWF cast moves filming to Ireland.

June 23rd – Joe is seen in Dublin.

Happy 25th Birthday Scottish singer/songwriter Lewis Capaldi born on October 17th 1996 in Glasgow.

Lewis is the youngest of four children. His mother is a nurse and his father is a fishmonger. He  went to school at St Kentigern’s Academy Blackburn, the family having moved to that area when Lewis was about four, he went on to gain an HND in music at New College Lanarkshire, Motherwell, graduating in 2016. Lewis Capaldi began creating a buzz in early 2017 with the release of his debut single, Bruises, a brooding exploration of a failed relationship that introduced his intimate piano and vocal sound. The song hit number 2 in Scotland and 6 UK wide.

On the strength of his lone single, the Bathgate man sold out legendary Glasgow club King Tut’s and notched millions of streams before dropping his follow-up single, the equally stark “Lost on You,” later that summer.  While the songs were not massive hits they certainly gained him many fans and had the record companies sniffing around looking to sign him

After signing with Virgin Records, Capaldi included both songs on his debut EP, Bloom, and capped off his banner year with a Scottish Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

The front half of 2018 was spent touring in North America and Europe in advance of his next single, Rush, featuring Jessie Reyez. Tough followed a few months later. Both tracks were featured on his next EP, Breach, which arrived in November of that year. The tracks performed well but still in my opinion never set the heather of fire This was all to change with the third single from the EP. “Someone You Loved” was a commercial success, peaking at number one in several countries including a hard nut to crack, the USA. It was what they call a sleeper hit over there, not reaching the top until its 24th week on the chart, one of the longest climbs to the top position in Billboard history, it spent three weeks at the top.

It earned him a Grammy nomination and another nomination as song of the year at the Brits.

In the NME Capaldi revealed that it took him six months to write the song. He said, “A lot of people say that ‘the best songs fall into your lap’ and that they’re the easiest ones to write and take the shortest amount of time: I wholeheartedly disagree with that. I think my best songs come from me sitting at a piano, bashing my head against a brick wall for hours and hours on end to get one good melody.”

Capaldi’s debut LP – titled Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent – arrived in May 2019 on Virgin EMI, it hit the top ten in 9 countries and number 1 in three of them, including the UK and of course Scotland as of September 2020 it had passed one million UK chart sales. 

I love the wee guys sense of humour, he was slagged off by Noel Gallagher who remarked Lewis Capaldi: “Fucking Chewbacca should enjoy his 15 minutes” Lewis took it all in his stride, changing his Twitter username to Chewis Capaldi and updated his profile picture to him as Chewbacca. Capaldi later took to the stage at TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow wearing a Chewbacca mask!  After removing the mask, Lewis dedicated his rendition of Oasis hit Don’t Look Back In Anger to his “dear, dear father” Noel and changed the title to “Don’t Chewbac In Anger”. Gallagher further endeared himself to us Scots by calling Scotland “a third world country"

Taking to Instagram, Lewis posted a video in which he expressed his pleasure that being the latest in a long line of musicians to be "slagged off” by Noel was better than having a number one record.

The mask later raised £10,000 to fellow Scots singing sensation Paolo Nutini before it was raffled off again to raise even more money for the mental health charity Tiny Changes which was set up in memory of Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison, who tragically  took his own life the year before.

Since 2020, Capaldi has been in writing and recording sessions for his forthcoming second studio album which is expected to be released at some stage during 2022. He announced at the end of December 2020 that he'd be taking a break from social media to focus on work for the album.

It’s great that Lewis hasn’t been dazzled by the bright lights of London 18 months ago he was still staying with his mammy, but has since Capaldi bought Castlehill farmhouse in East Renfrewshire. 

Just last week Scots TikTok sensation Nathan Evans got fans buzzing on social media as he shared a photo with West Lothian. The pair smiled on Evans' Instagram where he captioned the post 'Scotland’s finest' - and fans are desperate for a collaboration between the pair.

If you come across this Lewis, I hope the new songs are coming along nicely and look forward to hearing a lot more of you in the future. 

I chose this live version of Fade, as I think it is brilliant.

1. He threw a charity ball for terminally ill children, raising over $3 MILLION dollars.

Louis went all out with this ball. He had a red carpet leading up to a castle, and the kids who were dressed up as princes and princesses got to make a grand entrance like you see in the movies! Louis danced with them, took pictures, signed whatever they wanted, and truly gave them the time of a lifetime. Most of the kids who attended this ball will never get to go to their high school prom or other school dances, but Louis gave them a chance to while they still could.

2. He dyed his hair red for charity, and NOBODY talked about it.

Louis dyed his hair red for Red Nose Day in support of Comic Relief. Louis also took part with the rest of the boys on the official Red Nose Day single. They also sole their clothes they wore on the BRITS, visited Ghana, asked fans to donate, and did various other things to help raise money.

3. He took part in a charity soccer game!

Louis has played in more than one of these, but this one is the one where his character really shines through. Louis got tackled full force by a professional footballer, hurting Louis and making him sick. Despite this fact, Louis stayed and watched the remainder of the game and continued playing in more games after this one!

4. He made Harvey's biggest dreams come true.

Before Harvey sadly passed away in November of 2015 which Louis acknowledged by tweeting a picture along with a caption saying fly high buddy, Louis invited Harvey to his ball. He arranged them a stay at the Langham Hotel and for Harvey to wear a Ralph Lauren suit. Louis then sent Harvey's family to Disneyland Paris where Louis' family joined them for the final days. After that, he invited Harvey's family as his guests for the show. He got them gifts and made sure everything was taken care of. They met all the boys, and Louis even arranged a special room in case it got too much for the boys to handle. The day after the concert, Louis sent them to a Believe in Magic Party in Hamleys toy store. Louis wanted to build Harvey a winter wonderland, but he sadly passed before Louis could make that happen.

5. The Eden Dora Trust Fund

Louis became a patron for the Eden Dora Trust Fund which was started for children with encephalitis. He attended a tea that they held. When videoed about this, Louis said "That's by far one of the best things of the job. You can really make a difference in other people's life." Eden was able to get a picture with Louis the next day. Louis is actively involved.

6. He met Daisy who had originally picked him as her wish.

Louis met Daisy who has Achrondoplasia and had originally picked him as her wish, but instead wanted to pick something her whole family could enjoy. Louis originally sent Daisy a video after the news got out. He met her when he visited her state in August.

7. Soccer Aid

Louis stayed with this little girl, Summer, who is profoundly deaf. He made sure she was beside him for most of the time she was with him and that she wasn't afraid.

8. NHS Heroes Awards

Louis kept it a secret that he was attending, so he could surprise Freya Lewis with the Young Fundraiser Award for raising over 40k for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. As he can see by the look on his face, he loved doing it and making Freya happy.

10. The One That's Personal

I seriously can't write about this one without crying. Around 1 am on February 15th, I finally went to bed after researching ways to fundraise and charities that would help us to get Rylee, my little sister who was diagnosed with bilateral close-lipped schizencephaly causing her cerebral palsy at birth, get everything she needs. That morning I woke up around 9 am crying, but with a different emotion. Extreme happiness, excitement, and in awe of the man Rylee and I chose as an idol. $10,000 was our goal at the time and that's exactly what he donated. He truly changed our lives and opened thousands of doors for our family. Rylee is getting a new wheelchair next week, we have a ramp, and a surgery scheduled in Texas for August 17th this summer all thanks to Louis. We are currently still fundraising, but Louis definitely took tons of weight off of our shoulders.

We have a new update! Rylee has a powerchair, her feet are flat, she has a walker, and brand new confidence. When I asked her why she suddenly decided to walk in her walker, she said something along the lines of did it for Louis. I can't remember her exact words, but I do know that something Louis did almost a year ago still makes the biggest impact on her today.

"Come on mum, let's make someone happy today."

These eight things don't even begin to cover what all Louis has done. They only touch some of the amazing acts Louis has done over the years. Go support someone who truly deserves the world and all it's given him. Buy and stream Just Hold On, Just Like You, Back to You, and Miss You on Spotify and iTune

Hi! Do you know when harry recorded TPWK mv i mean the dates?

hi! i know they filmed it in february 2020, paul roberts just said “about three weeks before the world started to burn.” from my archive, Harry came back from LA on 3rd february, he was seen on the 6th without nail polish on and then was seen with Phoebe on 13th february and was wearing red nail polish on the 14th for his bbc radio 2 performance (same as the mv). He was seen jogging on the 17th with lilac or silver nail polish and the brit awards were held on the 18th and he had lilac nails. so unless i missed an actual date, i’d said in between the 6th and the 17th!!

Maybe at Christmas Eve after being with H and his family for a couple of days the whole Styles family and the missus would be sitting under the Christmas tree and opening presents.

A who’s-who of Oscar nominees, A-listers and top Hollywood executives came out to support the Motion Picture & Television Fund at its 17th annual “Night Before” party, which raised $5 million in support of the MPTF.

One of the key events of Oscar weekend, the “Night Before” party, held Saturday on the Fox Studios lot in Los Angeles and co-sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter, drew past Oscar winners including Mahershala Ali (also a current nominee, who came with wife Amatus Sami-Karim), George Clooney, Viola Davis  (with husband Julius Tennon), Leonardo DiCaprio, Marcia Gay Harden, Allison Janney and Octavia Spencer.

Among the 2019 Oscar nominees who were at the event were Amy Adams (with husband Darren Le Gallo), Yalitza Aparicio, Glenn Close, Willem Dafoe (with wife Giada Colagrande), Adam Driver (with wife Joanne Tucker), Richard E. Grant, Sam Elliott, Regina King, Spike Lee, Rami Malek and Viggo Mortensen.

Close, Grant and King made their way to the party just a few hours after collecting Film Independent Spirit Awards earlier in the day for best actress, best supporting actor and best supporting actress, respectively.

The 2019 host committee included a lineup of talent including Adams and Le Gallo, Ali, Tanya Haden Black and Jack Black, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg, Amal and George Clooney, Close, Colagrande and Dafoe, Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise, DiCaprio, Lady Gaga, Janney, King, Malek, Mortensen, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith, Rachel Weisz, Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, and Constance Wu.

Other A-listers at the exclusive, invitation-only bash included event maestro Jeffrey Katzenberg, who serves as chairman of the MPTF Foundation, along with recent Golden Globe/Emmy/SAG Award winner Darren Criss (with new wife Mia Swier), Chris Evans, Tiffany Haddish, Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling, Keegan-Michael Key and producer wife Elisa Pugliese, Helen Mirren, Mike Myers, Christopher Nolan and Taylor Swift with boyfriend (The Favourite actor) Joe Alwyn, in addition to past Oscar nominees Ava DuVernay, Samuel L. Jackson, Carey Mulligan, Anna Paquin with husband Stephen Moyer, Will Smith with wife Jada Pinkett Smith and Hailee Steinfeld.

Black Panther stars Angela Bassett, Chadwick Boseman, Danai Gurira, Michael B. Jordan also came out to support the cause, as did Crazy Rich Asians stars Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, Henry Golding and Constance Wu.

Top executives including Disney CEO Bob Iger and studio chair Alan Horn, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (with Universal’s Ron Meyer), WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey and Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos, Universal Pictures chair Donna Langley, Sony Pictures chair Tom Rothman and Paramount Pictures CEO Jim Gianopulos also were at the bash, where guests enjoyed specialty foods from Carmelized Productions by Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo.

Funds raised during the “Night Before” party are used to support the MPTF, which assists industry members in Hollywood of all ages by providing financial assistance, crisis counseling, caregiving support and the retirement facility in Woodland Hills that film and TV veterans call “home.”

In total, the annual event has raised more than $85 million since its inception in 2003.
