A Night In Hollywood’s live music video for the song, Darling This Is Just The Beginning, filmed in Bakersfield, California. The single is from the band’s latest EP available late fall or early winter, produced by Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Puddle of Mudd, I Am Ghost, Chevelle).
We’re welcoming Hollywood Holt to the show this week. Josh interviews his bud about old songs, Good Charlotte, and the importance of promoting other artists.
Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party. The night was split into two glitzy events, a reception and dinner costing $28,500 each at the Greystone Mansion, followed by entertainment by Streisand at the nearby Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. About 250-300 people were expected at the dinner and about 800 at the entertainment, which cost $2,500 a ticket. Dinner guests seen by reporters, or noted by waiters, included Will Ferrell, Jodie Foster, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Lee… Read more »
Sean “Diddy” Combs says he wants to move to Hollywood and become a full-time movie star. The East Coast-based entertainment mogul aims to get top billing on the big screen. “Yeah, leading man kind of stuff; you know, jumping off of buildings,” Combs says in an appearance scheduled to air Friday on CBS’ “Late Show With David Letterman.” Besides action-packed adventure, the rapper-producer’s ideal film roles would also include “making love to beautiful women” and “very emotional, heart-wrenching scenes.” Letterman advises Combs to start out doing a smaller, independent movie rather than a big-budget picture that could bomb at the… Read more »
For the typically rowdy rock band on the road, “scoring” might not necessarily have anything to do with film music. Yet over the last couple of decades of making music, a number of rock talents have made the career leap from arenas to scoring stages, and the ranks of today’s A-list composers include many with rock ‘n’ roll pedigrees. Randy Newman had a successful career as a songwriter and solo artist; Mark Mothersbaugh was a founder of Devo; and Danny Elfman started out in Oingo Boingo (a band that also included future composers Steve Bartek and Richard Gibbs). Trevor Rabin… Read more »
If striking Hollywood writers do not reach a settlement with the studios in the next few weeks, the broadcast TV pilot season could be torpedoed. A long strike also could rattle the May “upfront” sales market, when the networks sell the bulk of their commercial time for the fall 2008 season. So say a number of network executives and other industry sources, none of whom would speak on the record because of the sensitivity of labor negotiations. Consider these scenarios: If the work stoppage, now in its fifth week, is not ended soon and writers aren’t back on the job… Read more »
When it debuts Tuesday on the Web, My Damn Channel will become the latest attempt by Hollywood professionals to cash in on the huge popularity of online video. Comedian Harry Shearer, filmmaker David Wain and music producer Don Was, among others, also hope to find creative freedom seldom offered by traditional media companies. The site is the brainchild of former MTV and CBS Radio executive Rob Barnett, who believes Internet audiences want to see professionally produced shows other than network TV fare. “The old media companies don’t know how to program for this medium,” Barnett said. “There is a focus… Read more »
Los Angeles – None of the Grammy nominees was more surprised than Chris Morris, who was taking notes along with the rest of the press corps Tuesday morning when he heard his name announced among the luminaries. Morris, who joined The Hollywood Reporter as music editor in September, was nominated for the liner notes he wrote for “No Thanks! The ’70s Punk Rebellion.” That Rhino Records compilation of various artists gives an overview of the genre’s early days by gathering 100 songs in a four-CD boxed set. Morris contributed a definitive context for the music in a thoroughly researched 116-page… Read more »
