My View on "The View" B.S.

As much as I love Barry I think it was very rude of him to cancel a televison appearance for something like that. I don't understand why its such a big deal, he had been on MANY talk shows and politics never came up, why is he getting pissy over it now?
The thing is, I'm not upset that he canceled the appearence, I could care less really the View's interviews with him are all the same as everyone else, I know we'll hear that "I'm only 23" joke about 6 billion more times, frankly it's getting old!! But I was upset by the reason he did cancled, because he's doesn't belief in Elisabeth's views, thats plain stupid! Everyone deals with other peoples views everyday, we don't see them canceling important things because of it, they suck it up and move on. One more thing before I get off of my high horse, why does he think he can run the show? It isn't his, why does he get a say in who interviews him? The View is letting them on their show, he should be happy their giving him air time to plug his new album.
As you can see I'm a little angry with Mr. M at the moment.

Okay, now I'm done, sorry for ranting.

Don't tell them how you found me give me a break

Haven't Updated in awhile....

and I figured I would, update you on some news in Manilow land.

Let's see:
As if you didn't ALREADY know Barry is going to be in Philly on September 8th and on September 9th he's going to be in Boston.

The 70's Album will be out soon, 1 month 12 days 23 hours and 6 minutes.
I heard "It Never Rains in Southern California" via video. Let me tell you, IT'S AMAZING!!! I wanted to run (which trust me I do not enjoy) to his house and give him a hug! I don't think I've heard the song before but I'm going to find it and download the orginal. Then he's doing one of my favorite songs, "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, it's such a beautiful song, so I'm sure he'll do great on it and it will be fabulous!
Then the soon to be famous duet with Rosie O'Donnell. Am I the only one freaking out about that? I'm sorry I love Rosie as a comedian but once she goes off into lezbian-rightious-political-all knowing-bitch mode, I can't stand her. And I heard her sing before, you know the Christmas song, was it horrible? No. Was it great? No, not even close. It wasn't even good, Barry's singing was, Rosie not so much.

So what else, what else? Oh I guess I'll post the track list.

PROJECTS GALORE FOR SMOLANOFF
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 07/22/07
Post Comment
MORE STORIES OF LOCAL talent getting things done:

First, there is Michael Smolanoff, a Holmdel author and screenwriter who has several projects under way, including a feature film based on his book "The Oval Portrait."

"It's now in pre-production, in the casting phase. They've already got Christopher Walken and Eric Roberts," Smolanoff said. "Principal photography starts in October."

The releasing company, of which Smolanoff is president, is Twin Faces East Entertainment. A release date in 2008 is projected, he said.

"The other thing that is happening is I just finished (the screenplay for) "The Scary Kids' Club,' which is based on my book "Scary Tales.' The Irish director Ronan O'Leary is working on that for a 2008 release."

Finally, Smolanoff said, he is working on an animated feature film project; plans are to have performers such as Bette Midler and Barry Manilow do the voice-overs. He said a 26-episode TV series is planned to be spun off the film. The series would be based on a children's book by Smolanoff, featuring stories he told his children when they were growing up.

"Bagel" in Red Bank


A bagel that talks.

The curious can take a look at "My Roomie the Bagel," free of charge (but "donations are appreciated") at 9 p.m. Aug. 16 at the Red Bank Arts Theatre, 36 White St., Red Bank.

Eric Raj of Jackson, founder of NJ Film Core, made the 60-minute film and describes NJ Film Core, with slight tongue-in-cheek, as "being on the right track to becoming champion of the independent Internet movie movement." More information is available at www.myroomiethebagel.com.

Gibson keeps busy


Russell Gibson of Brick, whose credits include roles in "Analyze This," "Unfaithful" and "The Yards," has added several more credits to his resume.

He just completed work on "My Father's Will," portraying a priest who performs a marriage, as well playing a casino croupier on TV's long-running soap, "One Life to Live," and a brief scene in TV's "Flight of the Conchords."

New arrivals


Movies opening this week include "No Reservations," starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as a high-powered chef whose life changes when she becomes guardian of her niece (Abigail Breslin); and "I Know Who Killed Me," with Lindsay Lohan playing the victim of an assault.

USA Today article

Music
He writes the songs and covers others from the '70s

Having covered classics from the '50s and '60s with platinum-plus results, Barry Manilow is ready to revisit the decade that made him a star. On Sept. 18, the pop veteran will release The Greatest Songs of the Seventies.

Available as both an 18-track CD and a two-disc set with audio and video, Seventies features golden oldies such as Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Way We Were and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, plus a pair of duets: You've Got a Friend, with Melissa Manchester, and Don't Go Breaking My Heart, with Rosie O'Donnell.

To choose the material, Manilow says, "I sent a list of every No. 1 record in the '70s to everybody I knew, and asked them to pick their 13 favorites." The results, he reports, were very similar to the selections that he and label boss Clive Davis had in mind.

Seventies also includes a bunch of Manilow's own hits, from Mandy to Copacabana, in new, stripped-down versions. "There was this idea of, how could I possibly leave them out? So I'm redoing them with a small, intimate band."

Melissa Manchester Interview and some news on Barry's new album

‘Hats’ Off to Melissa Manchester
by Richard Knight, Jr.
2007-06-20





Singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester has been honing her vocal and songwriting craft throughout a career spanning over three decades. Throughout the 1970s, she had huge hits beginning with her composition Midnight Blue and continuing with Through the Eyes of Love ( Theme from Ice Castles ) and Don’t Cry Out Loud. In the early ‘80s, Manchester hit with You Should Hear How She Talks About You. In 2004, she released her first album of original material in years, the sophisticated and melodic When I Look Down That Road—and, since late April, Manchester has been in Chicago starring in Hats!, the hit musical that is playing at the Royal George Theatre.
Manchesterhe took time out of her eight-show-a-week schedule to chat with Windy City Times.


Windy City Times: Laura Nyro once said to me, “I feel like now music serves the business and when I started it was the other way around.” Do you feel that, too?

Melissa Manchester: Oh yes, indeed. I mean, that’s one of the reasons I had to leave the industry; I just got very lost. I was part of the first wave of singer/songwriters but I was also in that first wave of singer/songwriters who experienced the music industry when technology started to take over.

WCT: We’re talking about new wave, obviously.

MM: Yes, in the early ‘80s and so your position as a singer became less important and that was very odd. It was very odd to not quite know how to negotiate all of that techno stuff. The producers were having a great time because they had all kinds of new toys to play with.

WCT: So, in a sense, your Top Five hit You Should Hear How She Talks About You was a bit of a blessing as well as a curse?

MM: I think so. It was very different for me and it was somewhat confusing to have a song like that so successful. A Grammy is a wonderful thing; all of a sudden you’re given a new audience but, like anything, you have to be able to grow with these songs if you really want a long artistic career. I don’t do that song that often, but when I do it’s been rearranged so it doesn’t sound the way it did on the record. But it was funny that I was sort of the queen of aerobics classes.

WCT: [ Laughs ] That’s right!

MM : [ Laughs ] And that’s fine. You know, if you have a long enough career things are chapters and you have to know that. You obviously see that in hindsight, but you have to know that as you’re going through it and sometimes it’s hard to get that and negotiate that as it’s happening.

WCT: It’s very interesting to equate the work from the ‘70s and the ‘80s —to see those two phases and then to listen to When I Look Down the Road from 2004, which is a beautiful work that I can’t say enough about…

MM: Well, that—for me—was like coming full [ circle ] and returning to myself again. Its purpose for me was to create a quieter corner for a world that is becoming increasingly cranky.

WCT: I love that description. You obviously think very carefully when considering your musical projects. What spoke to you about Hats! and made you want to be involved with it?

MM: It came to me by way of Doug Besterman, the musical director of Hats!, who asked me on behalf of the creators if I would like to write a song for it. That was a lovely idea so I contacted my theater-writing partner Sharon Vaughn and we talked about the idea of being easily disposable in our society because you’re of a certain age—which is just ridiculous and folly but, of course, the result of a youth-crazed society. The idea of being invisible was the point so we wrote the song Invisible and the creators of Hats! liked it so much they asked us to write another song. When they were putting together the Chicago performance they asked me if I would consider starring in it and my husband and I looked around the house and realized that both of our kids were at college [ laughs ] so I said, “Sure!”

WCT: How important are gay audiences to you?

MM: Gay audiences are just fantastic. They can be very fickle but they are extremely loyal and they escort a diva [ Laughs ] on the path of her career and that is a beautiful thing! You know, I would certainly love gay audiences to come and support Hats! because it speaks on so many levels to so many people. It’s not just for women who are part of the Red Hat Society [ the inspiration of the production ] . It’s about people who feel ostracized from society, needing to find community, needing to feel support, and gay audiences will certainly identify with my character Marian’s journey.

WCT: Let’s go back to one night in the early ‘70s when you were working at a club down the street from the Continental Baths and in walked Barry Manilow with this young brash singer: Bette Midler.

MM: Barry and I had known each other because we sang commercials—we were studio singers. He was Bette’s music director and on their night off they came to see me. She had made her first appearance on the Carson show by then. I finished my set and I went over to say hello and he introduced me to Bette. I knew she was getting ready for her first Carnegie Hall concert and I asked if she was going to have any background singers. She took a beat and said, “I don’t know, would you like to sing in back of me?” and I said, “Well, actually I’d like to sing instead of you [ Laughs ] but I’ll be happy to sing in back of you.” So Barry and I organized what was originally called The Red Light District and then we were called M.G.M. because those were our initials and then we were called The Harlettes and I was the toots in the middle. [ Laughs ]

WCT: That’s great trivia.

MM: I worked for her for about six months.

WCT: Wonderful. So when is Barry Manilow going to produce the Melissa Manchester songbook?

MM: [ Laughs ] That is so sweet. He actually just invited to me sing on his next project, which was so dear—and I will, happily. He’s going to have a bunch of famous divas singing backup, singing duets and he’s asked me to sing a duet, which is very exciting. I’m very touched.

Barry on the Radio

Barry was on the Radio today!!
when i got in the car after Softball pictures and "Copacabana" was on NJ101.5.
Then when i got home my mom said i just missed "Mandy" on the Music Choice on TV.

Barry is singing so stuff

Paige Fleming, publisher and chief executive officer of Nevada Woman magazine, hosted her final Woman to Woman luncheon Friday at Wynn Las Vegas. It was a bittersweet day for Fleming, who told her 620 guests that she is leaving the magazine after 12 years.The eighth annual luncheon featured a champagne reception with a drawing for 32 items, which raised $30,000 to benefit The Meadows School Scholarship Fund and Miracle Flights for Kids.Guests included Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian, Phyllis McGuire, Claudine Williams, Kitty Rodman, Melinda Cook, Irene Schwartz, Rebecca Boman, Nancy Houssels, Joan Deiro, Sharon Jenkins, Paula Brown, Linda Steen, Cara Roberts, Karen Zamboni, Jena Dougton, Jan Rude, Kimberly Maxwell, Katy Barin, Patsy Brinton, Lara Kolberg, Dee Ladd, Bill Martin and Siegfried Fischbacher. (Fleming once performed with Siegfried & Roy in Las Vegas.)

The program opened with the Chippendales dancers inviting guest Stephanie Markham to join them onstage for a serenade of "I'm Your Man."

McGuire introduced surprise guest Barry Manilow, who sang a few of his hits, and then joined him for a duet of "Sincerely" and "Teach Me Tonight."

When the applause died down, there was a loud motor noise from the rear of the ballroom as a Harley-Davidson motorcycle roared down the aisle carrying Mayor Oscar Goodman. He introduced the luncheon's featured speaker, his wife, Carolyn, founder of The Meadows School.

Vintage Vegas: St. Viator School Foundation celebrated the school's 40th anniversary at a gala dinner and auction at South Point Saturday.

Arriving guests were greeted by an Elvis impersonator and a showgirl.

The ballroom was filled with large hot pink balloons, and dining tables showcased overlays of metallic pink eyelash shag lame with tall martini glasses filled with lit ice cubes as centerpieces.

The event honored two couples: Cathy and Marty Flynn and Susan and Joaquin Crame, who have exhibited stewardship to the Catholic community through their gifts of time and devotion.

The Rev. Richard Rinn of St. Viator Catholic Community delivered the invocation.

Greg Harelson conducted the live auction, and the Rev. William Haesaert drew the $10,000 cash prize and $500 scrip winners. Chairing the gala was Maria Gex.

Award winner: The National Jewish Medical and Research Center honored Sandy Peltyn with its National Jewish Humanitarian Award for her philanthropic commitment to Las Vegas at a gala presented by Siegfried & Roy Saturday at Wynn Las Vegas.

The garden reception area was decorated in thousands of flowers and bird cages with a large garden gazebo in the center of the room covered with 35,000 beads and real flowers by Botanica.

A live monkey dressed in a red and gold trimmed suit entertained the crowd as music of Havana by Ricardo Griego and Ramona Esparza filled the air. Showgirls, acrobats and stilt walkers added to the festive atmosphere.

The ballroom was decorated in flowing white chiffon from top to bottom. Tables displayed tall antiqued silver candelabra topped with dozens of white roses or tall glass vases filled with white feather plumes.

During dinner, the acrobatic act of Enkhbat and Amara performed, courtesy of attending guest Franz Czeisler Tihany of Mexico's Tihany Circus. Entertainer Clint Holmes also performed.

Susan Lerner and Blanca Lerman, representatives of the National Jewish Medical and Research Center, presented Peltyn with a crystal sphere award. Siegfried Fischbacher unveiled a portrait of the honoree.

Dinner co-chairs were Lynette Chapelle and Parvin and Ted Jacobs.

Guests included Lorraine Hunt, Dennis Bono, Phyllis McGuire, Tom Cook, Pauline and Richard Holgate, Susie Perrine, Barry Rappaport, Lulu Bubion, Barbara Robinson and Andres Costas, Gayle Anderson, Angie Wallin, Dagney and Scott Rotheiser, Janet and Andy Blumen, Marjorie Fields, Judy and Bill Fleischman, Jon Tullis, Phyllis Schwartz, Tom Dane, Juanita and David Wasserman, Nancy and Jack Weinstein, Selma and Troy Barlett, Winnie and Robert Schulman, Cindy Doumani, Andy Dyrdahl, Kelly Clinton, Loring Jacobs and Jenica Yurcic.Guests used play money to purchase items from a marketplace in the room's corner.

"What's Wrong With The World Mama?"

Where Is The Love? Video

Where Is The Love? lyrics - Black Eyed Peas lyrics

Black Eyed Peas Music Videos

Music Video Codes by VideoCure

"People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek"

The past week has been a living hell for the United States, the murders in Virgina, bomb threats in New Jersey, and probably some more murders and kidnappings all over the country; I asked myself, what has the world come to? And where are we heading?

I sorry, I refuse to count Cho Seung-Hui as a victim, he dosen't deserve that respect, he is too sick and discusting for that title.





"Where Is The Love?"

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing wit me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit it (Yeah)
Something's wrong wit the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)

beautiful christmas song by Barry from his A&E christmas special: River
"Loved me so naughty it made me weak in the knees" that is the raciest thing i've EVER heard in a Christmas song lol
Really I love this song, if I had a recording of it I would listen to it all year long. once I get some money i'm going to go to Wa-Wa and buy a 15 dollar gift card for I-tunes and get this off I-tunes!!

The Copacabana Catfight: Sharon Stone vs. Barry Manilow
Categories: celebrity feuds, feuds, fundraisers, music, awards
No doubt Sharon Stone did good last night at the Billie Awards when she helped raise a ton of cash for the Women's Sports Foundation.




However, did she really need to do it at the expense of a music legend like "Copacabana" crooner Barry Manilow?
While auctioning off tickets to Elton John's posh White Tie and Tiara Ball, Stone rattled off a list of past attendees, including Hugh Grant, Ben Stiller, Benicio del Toro, Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige and David and Victoria Beckham. "It's unbelievable," Stone said. "There are more stars than you could ever imagine."

Stone swooned over Rod Stewart because he "sometimes comes in a kilt and no underpants, which I have to say I liked—kind of a lot!"

But when Manilow's pic popped up on a monitor, Stone cracked, "Oh, look! That was after the third face lift...I mean, hip replacement."

Manilow's rep declined to comment, but a Manilow pal says Stone should zip it. "That’s a shame that she would stoop so low," the pal said. "It certainly shows her own true colors."

Stone's rep declined to comment.
