Enrique Iglesias...pulls out of Britney Spears - er - tour! Diva (Latino Idol) miffed at 2nd billing!




No way, Jose!




Enrique Iglesias angrily stomped his foot, and pulled out of the Britney Spears tour late yesterday afternoon, after the Pop Diva announced to a gushing fan base that the sexy heartthrob would be hitting the road as her warm-up act.

Ooops!

Handlers noted in a terse press statement that the popular crooner was under the impression that the gig was going to be a "double-bill".

Once the disgruntled hit-maker caught wind of - what he perceived as a "step down" in his career - he was quick to cut the ties that bound him to the loopy Pop Star on a rebound in her own career daze.

What a humiliation!

And, you thought Divas only came in the female variety, eh?

Super Britney!
(not so superb to Enrique)

Book worms

A home without books is not a home. Im a big big fan of big shelves, big bookcases and colourful (or not) books. I think they give a warm vibe to any room and any house and a playful mood. I have always been surrounded by books, my parents house is chock full which probably explains my deep love. Love it too?

Jay Leno Show...Helen Hunt a control freak! Snatches cue cards from host's hands!



Surf is up!
(so was Hunt's ire!)






Over the years, make-up and wardrobe personnel at the studios (and in the employ of Independent Film companies) have tittered that Oscar Award-Winning actress - Helen Hunt - was difficult to work with.

After Ms. Hunt's appearance on the Jay Leno Show last night - it was quite evident to the multitudes that the normally low-key movie star is not only a control freak - but an ill-mannered guest to contend with!

Bookers on the late-night circuit beware!

An old Chinese proverb says it all.

"Never insult a host in his own home."

If you want to be asked back, that is.

So, what was all the brouhaha about?

When the talented thespian (who has played opposite respected biggies in the industry like megastar Jack Nicholson) was asked to participate in a quiz about surfing, a short way into the upbeat segment - the pushy broad not only balked at some of the questions - but was inclined to snatch the cue cards right out of Jay's sweaty palm!

Mr. Leno reacted politely, in spite of her outrageous behavior, but was obviously startled by Hunt's insulting conduct and lack of sense of humor (judging by the expression on his face).

Hunt was on the top-rated talk show to tout her new feature which is about the gripping real-life tale of a female surfer (which has been adapted for the Silver Screen) who lost her arm in a shark attack.

Hunt, getting on in years, was cast to play the mother for obvious reasons.

Because the ultra thin (she was all bones if 'ya ask moi) actress boasted to be a surfer, Jay was posed a few questions - understandably so - in an amusing bold-faced effort to sort-out the lingo surfers often coolly spit out as they dart off to hang ten.

Ms. Hunt wasn't put off by the first expression "gnarly", but - not surprisingly- she didn't get it quite right.

When Jay offered up the next expression - "tubed" - she reacted suspiciously (just betcha, she thought she was going to be the brunt of some twisted on-camera joke).

At this juncture, the ice Queen not only went through the roof, but committed the unthinkable.

Uh-huh!

Hunt put a halt to this phase of the interview, and did so, without an apology.

Across the country, I expect viewers at home were screaming at their television sets.

"Bit**!"

And, how was your day?

Leno fast on feet!

Prince Harry...snores! Jets to North Pole for Reds! "Best Man" speech to humor!











Prince Harry crawled out of a glorified pup tent bright-and-early at the crack-of-dawn this morning in the great white North - braving twenty-below-zero weather - and summarized the harrowing experience this way.

"Things went on in there that won't be discussed ever again," he wickedly laughed to a dotting reporter who was all ears!

A tent-mate was quick on the uptake, too, as he confided the awful truth.

Prince Harry snores!

"It's sort-of a cozy snore. Like...a 'hmmm'," he laughed boisterously.

"The Prince has a sort-of base 'thing' going on," which wasn't too difficult to suffer through, the pal was quick to point out to soften the blow.

Years ago, I was forced to kick a lover out of bed (and end a relationship) - because of snoring that was so loud and obnoxious - that it kept me awake all night.

I tried to follow the advice of Ann Landers, before taking action, though.

In one column many moons ago, a reader solicited Ms. Landers for a solution to the problem when faced with a chronic snorer.

"Just give the person a jab in the side," she urged the sleepless correspondent.

According to Ms. Landers, the snorer would respond with a turn to their side - and ultimately - free up the breathing passage so the hapless individual could sleep properly (and peacefully) once again.

Not!

It didn't work for moi, no Sir!

The one-on-one interview with a "Good Morning America" reporter was a bit of a coup for the Network, by the way, especially when you consider that the Royals are generally tight-lipped when it comes to the prying press.

The ambitious newsie managed to gain the trust of the Prince since both support a similar cause.

Both are concerned about the plight of soldiers on the battlefield, and in the aftermath, when they return home (oftentimes scarred by the horrors of War).

But, one subject was off-limits, and strictly taboo.

Prince Harry declined to comment on wild speculations that ran rampant in the media recently in respect to  the  infamous "stag" party he was supposed to toss for his brother - Wills - which never materialized for some inexplicable reason.

Did his grandmother (Queen E 2) step in and nix the celebrations?

If so, Harry wasn't fessing up!

The answer is blowing in the cold North wind!

Meanwhile, Prince Harry is scheduled to fly to the North Pole tomorrow (weather permitting)  to spend five days with the troops to boost their morale.

When questioned about his stint in Afghanistan three years ago, he waxed poetic a bit - but, for the most part - was pretty forthcoming and down-to-earth in his response.

"Everyone comes together. You are responsible for the guy to your left and to your right. There is a sense of payback, too."

The reporter quizzed the lad about the real possibility about having to kill in the line of duty.

How did Prince Harry feel about that end scenario?

"A job is a job," he stated matter-of-fact, without pulling any punches.

"You progress with your life."

Prince Harry was elated at the prospect of maneuvering the Apache, a helicopter he has been assigned to fly when he returns to the front lines.

"I feel very lucky for the opportunity. The Apache is safe. And, powerful."

Surprisingly, Harry did not hold back when the topic turned to the upcoming wedding at the end of the month.

"They're the perfect match," he beamed, in reference to William and Kate.

The single (available) bachelor was inclined to cheer on his sister-in-law, and welcome her to the family with open arms, too.

"She's like a big sister. I am looking forward to going under her wing."

In a poignant moment, the freckled-faced helicopter pilot admitted that he would have liked to have had a younger brother or sister.

Of course, that family situation didn't pan out, due to the untimely death of Lady Diana.

The Prince was adamant that the thoughts of the Royal family will be with his mother on the day of the nuptials.

"I think she would be proud of William," he assured the reporter.

Prince Charles - though quite busy - has allegedly been quite hand-on in his role as father of the groom, too, according to Harry.

The Prince was pretty candid about his upcoming speech at the much-ballyhooed celebrations across the big pond, as well.

"My grandmother will be there. But, it will not be unlike any other Best Man's speech," he grinned.

The Prince promises to sprinkle the send-off tribute with a bit of humor, for sure!

Will any deep dark secrets be divulged?

If so, he's not telling.

Loose lips sink ships, after all.

However, Harry let one juicy bit of gossip slip during the course of a conversation with a news outlet, whether he intended to or not.

Prince William was pining to marry two years ago, but - allegedly -put off  his plans because of the frenzied swirl of pressure that the lovebirds encountered daily because of a vigilant press out to land a "scoop".

But, Wills is ready to take the plunge, now.

Congrats to William & Kate!

Lovebirds savoring informal moment!

Impromptu performing arts judge: Brett Campbell, highly-credentialed journalist and critic; announcements and critics' talk by Robert Pincus Sat, April 2, 11:30 - 2:30 pm, Artspace Shreveport

Impromptu exhibit participants at Artspace Shreveport will hear the announcement of the awards in both performing arts and visual arts on Saturday, April 2nd, 11:30 - 2:30 pm, says Julia Foley.

Newly announced is the judge for Performing arts entries. He is Shreveport native Brett Campbell, says Foley.

Campbell writes about the arts for The Wall Street Journal, Oregon Quarterly, Willamette Week, San Francisco Classical Voice, and many other publications. He has reviewed folk, rock and pop music in Austin for the Austin Chronicle.

San Francisco Giants...Brandon Belt emotional over nod! Rag-tag wonders play Dodgers today!












Who said that grown men don't cry?

When management in the front office informed Brandon Belt that he was given the nod for a coveted spot on the twenty-five-man Giants roster for the upcoming baseball season, he did just that.

But, his were tears of joy!

"This has been a dream all my life. It's the best thing that ever happened to me," he tearfully confided to a posse of probing reporters who swarmed around the rookie yesterday afternoon to gobble up the scoop first-hand.

"Except for my marriage," he gushed in almost an after-thought, as his face turned beet red.

The kid is going to have to get used to the attention, I guess!

The news came as no surprise to me or my readers at the Tattler. 

Yesterday, I pointed out that it was probably a "go" for the 1st Baseman amidst a lot of wild speculation (pro and con) that ran rampant in sports circles this past week.

Post:  03/30/2011

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2011/03/san-franciso-giantswin-tuesday-final.html

The move was a bit iffy for obvious reasons.

But, Bent's performance this last season in the minor leagues, grabbed the attention of the scouts, nonetheless.

During spring training, the shy ballplayer (who team mate Buster Posey has nick-named "Beller") hit at .282 with 3 homers and and 13 RBIs, enough bait to give the kid from nowhere a shot at the big leagues.

Notwithstanding, fans may recall that a rag-tag Giants team that was tossed together last season with a hope-and-a-prayer (and a lot of gumption of the part of the General Manager), roared on to win the World Championships.

One reporter on the nightly news referred to the Belt "break" as one of the "feel good" stories of the day.

Indeed!

Within hours of the announcement to the press, Belt hopped on a jet alongside the rest of the Giants, to journey on to Los Angeles where he'll play in the "Opener" against the Dodgers today.

Sports enthusiasts, meanwhile, are ecstatic.

In fact, so much so, that a posse of fans rustled up the funds to purchase a banner to hoist up over the stadium in LA LA LAND, which will read:

SF Giants 2010
Champs: Beat LA

The ubiquitous in-your-face slogan is 75 feet long and 50 feet high and was crafted at a cost of approximately $6,500.

Folks who can't make the game in person can catch it on ESPN or KNBR (680 AM).

I am predicting a win!

By the way, the Giants beat out the Oakland A's yesterday.

Spanking new James Bond?

Ideal closet

Beige, grey and black work so well together. It's the harmony of the neutrals probably.
Now tell me, do you think there is any other piece of clothes that can beat the Burberry trench coat? In terms of hit piece that will stand time and trends I mean. It goes with everything and everywhere and I'm loving the more grundge vive that this top and boots give to this outfit. 
How would you pair the Burberry trench?

San Francisco Giants...Nightclubs "Play Ball" on strip! Promo pushes Black & Orange & Gear Logo!








In a move to drum up business during the upcoming baseball season (Home Opener April 8th) a handful of late-night hot (as in curvaceous and sexy) spots are offering up discounts for patrons who turn up at the door in Black & Orange (Giants team colors) and/or logo gear.

Go! Giants! Go!

Obviously, the owners are hopping on the bandwagon in the wake of the Giants fever that erupted the last championship season, which resulted in packed pubs around the city.

Clubs like - Roaring 20's, Broadway Showgirls, Larry Flint's Hustler Club, and the HungryI (to name a few) - are launching the ballsy in-your-face promo in a bold-faced effort to steal some of the thunder (and cash) out of the greasy hands of pub owners who scrambled to serve houses packed with thirsty baseball enthusiasts (and made a killing in the process).

Do 'ya suppose the strippers will be teasing Giants fans in skimpy "G" strings highlighted with Orange & Black frilly flourishes in all the erotic places?

Dudes, don't forget your rubbers - er - sneakers, eh?

San Franciso Giants...win Tuesday! Final Exhibition game today!





Brandon Belt hits pay dirt?





Thanks to an RBI double by Pablo Sandoval in the 2nd inning and a solo home run by Nate Shierholtz in the eighth, the San Francisco Giants walked away "winners" last night in their match against the Oakland A's with a 4-1 victory.

No doubt, Gio Gonzalez was the scorn of fans, today, though; after all, the A's ballplayer allowed the unthinkable - two runs and 3 hits - in 6 1/2  sloppy innings.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention - that in spite of walking three Giants - Gonzalez managed to strike out four quality Giants during the course of the game.

Meanwhile, as I pen this post, players and fans alike are gearing up for a final exhibition game between the Giants and the Oakland A's at San Francisco's AT & T park this afternoon at 12:45 p.m.

Go! Giants!

By the way, the scuttlebutt continues as to whether Brandon Belt will nab a spot on the Opening Day roster (at press time, anyway).

"Conventional wisdom says he's not ready, but he's held his own against tough pitching and plays a real good first base. There would be no spot duty about it, aside from especially tough lefties, he would be the regular first baseman and would hit seventh, which would make it easier on him," general manager Brian Sabean stated matter-of-fact.

If you read between the lines, it's a go, me-thinks!

The Giants have until 8 a.m. Thursday morning to announce their exciting 25-man line-up.

News at 11!

See 'ya at the ballpark, eh?

Great American past-time revs up in San Francisco!




Elizabeth Taylor...cocktail dress on exhibit! Unveiled at Lori's Diner in San Francisco!





 



The legendary screen siren - Elizabeth Taylor - may have passed to spirit last week (my tribute will be posted in the next few days) but the fascination over every detail of her life persists!

For example, in anticipation of a surge of interest at their eatery, Lori's Diner (San Francisco) is placing a lavender tulle cocktail dress on display which was once adorned (and owned) by old violet eyes!

I strolled by there bright-and-early this morning to take a gander - but, unfortunately - the valuable piece of memorabilia was hidden behind a shroud (of sorts) until the official unveiling at 2 p.m. this afternoon.

In spite of the drapery, though, a few precise beams of light managed to slip through the sacred curtain - and ultimately - ended up sending a thousand little rainbows this way 'n that inside the popular eatery.

Hollywood Historian - Barry Barsamian - loaned the coveted piece to the restaurant so that fans and patrons alike could enjoy it.

Pop in and take a peak.

After all, it's a dazzling reminder of the fine swath that Ms. Taylor cut, whenever she ventured out the door for a public appearance (late or not).

See 'ya there!

Elizabeth was still magnetic at age 79!

Britney Spears - live @ GMA



Britney pre-taped a mini concert for GMA that aired yesterday to coincide with the release of Femme Fatale and after watching the videos, I feel Britney has really stepped down a lot as a performer. Unfortunately, either Jennifer Lopez (who's older than her) or Cheryl Cole (who's slightly younger) could've done a lot better than Britney did. Britney's getting way too manufactured and controlled this era.



Big News: The Saturdays ready new single



Looks like The Saturdays have got themselves a busy 2011 ahead. Being the reigning girband in the UK with Girls Aloud on a 100 year hiatus and newcomers Parade and Wonderland with shades of potential but not really delivering, their new album might be just around the corner to keep them on top. With the London date on their well-received Headlines Tour filmed for a slated The Saturdays 24/7-esque television series. But their tour during the year end could be playing to bigger crowds - with the year end tour rumoured to be an arena tour. Well I was wondering why they were playing such small stages on their Headlines Tour..

Besides that, they plan to invade Europe with the release of Higher in Germany this summer. But they definitely aren't forgetting the UK. The girls will be playing festival after festival in the summer, including major ones like V Festival, Chester Park and T in the Park.

Also, The Saturdays have apparently finished recording their upcoming single, claimed track producer Steve Mac, who wrote the track with Ina Wroldsen, both of which are no strangers to The Sats as both worked together on their chart monster Ego which is their second best selling track ever. Ina Wroldsen also has co-writes on the girls' previous singles If This Is Love, Up, Work, and Higher.

Clearly the girls aren't messing around. Just a couple weeks ago, a track called Girls Night Out was rumoured to be on the upcoming album, while Rochelle confirmed Turn Myself In, the midtempo stomper they premiered at The Headlines Tour would be included on the new album as well.

The new single will be out before July, and the girls will be headed to LA within the next week to film the music video. Also, Mollie tweeted "The countdown to Monday begins!!!!! Ohhhh yes!" Ooh.

Scandals...of the Privileged Few! A novel by Julian Ayrs! Serialized on The Tattler!












COMING SOON!


"Scandals of the Privileged Few" is a novel by Julian Ayrs set in the picturesque climbs of San Francisco!

Julian's latest literary work (to be serialized each week at "The Tattler" on the web) features a juicy plot sure to captivate the most intelligent discriminating fans of fiction.

Undoubtedly, avid readers will be titillated by the delicious cast of curious characters as their - sometimes tawdry, but always entertaining - stories unfold each week!

Robert Steele

A brash young attorney in his mid-thirties, with a flair for fashion (he despises dreaded umbrellas, though), Robert climbs (and beds) his way to the top of the conniving back-stabbing legal profession on the treacherous West Coast without looking back (or having any regrets).

Danny Bloomer

A self-styled bisexual with a passion (and weakness) for blonds in faded blue jeans.

Unfortunately, the talented auteur is always a scant heartbeat from the memory of a former lover (who departed from this mortal coil too soon) which may be his undoing.

Melony Vanderbilt Kidd ("Butch")

Even by her own standards, "Butch" is a "walking cliche", alright!

Strong-willed and defiant - the privileged kid from the right side of the tracks - is an endearing "misfit" with a special knack for weaseling her way into the private incestuous lives of the high-and-mighty.

Next to her skillfully penned "Memoires", Andy Warhol was a slouch in the literary department!

Candace Whitney

A classy dame who gravitates to fame and fortune like moth to flame.

Ms. Whitney is the ultimate social butterfly (with bags of loot to boot) adept at flitting about the tony environs of the elite uppercrust - with no door unopened or key unlocked - if she had her druthers.

But, a mysterious past lurks on the horizon, sure to knock her flat on her pretty ass if she's not more forgiving or discreet in the future.

Brad Butler II

This dreamy blue-eyed surfer dude pines for Mr. Right. 

And, he has all the prerequisites to lure the bait, you betcha!

But, will his naivete be his downfall - ultimately - in the sleazy down-and-out cut-throat underbelly of debauched Tinsel Town?

The Contessa

The Royal is rumored to own the Villa at 88 Stone Canyon Trail on Cypress Ridge. 

But, the tongues really wagged one fateful evening recently, when it is was revealed that the elusive beauty was once the lesbian lipstick lover of sultry screen siren Greta Garbo!

Stay posted for Chapter One!





California singer-guitarist songwriter James Clay Garrison was raised in Shreveport and learned to perform in Shreve Square; new album coming soon

Screen Actors Guild...actors reach settlement in class-action! Union sued for Foreign Residuals!



If you performed in a motion picture, television program, or other audio-visual work - that earned foreign royalties - your rights as an actor  may be affected by a recent court-approved class action settlement.

On February 18th (2011), the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, approved a class action settlement in Case No. BC377780 (Osmond v. Screen Actors Guild, Inc.) and ordered that all actors affected be provided a copy of the "Judgment and Order" Granting the "Final Approval" of the Class Action Settlement.

Interested parties may view the document to determine their eligibility to be a part of the "class" by cruising over to SAG’s website.

http://www.sag.org/files/sag/documents/ClassActionNotice_2011.pdf

The lawsuit arose as a result of the collection and distribution of royalties (also known as levies) on blank DVDs and tapes in several foreign nations.

Various countries have adopted laws imposing royalties, which are designed to provide compensation to rights holders, including performers in motion pictures and other works.

The Plaintiffs (and each of them) alleged in their causes of action that the Screen Actors Guild failed to properly distribute foreign royalties to performers.

In their moving papers, SAG asserted that they acted appropriately in their capacity as Union Reps, handled all foreign royalties properly, and proceeded to vehemently deny all the subsequent allegations, in addition to pleading other defenses.

The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or an indication that any law was violated.
