Choosing Oscar Nominees and Winners

I've written these two articles to give you some basic and intermediate tips to correctly color balance your photos during a wedding. As I stated in the other article, a wedding has many light sources and these light sources compete to be the main light in your photos. The problem is, if these light sources have very different color temperatures, your images will have an incorrect white balance.

Getting the permission to use a song can be a long, complicated and expensive process involving negotiation with the composer or publisher and the performers and owners of the recordings and usually involves extra fees each time the song is used. Knowing where to find good quality stock music can be helpful.

Movie Review: The Hangover Part II

Yesterday afternoon, David and I made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood, CA to catch an early showing of The Hangover Part II. Because I had an important concert to attend last night, I wanted to see the film before the weekend took hold and I missed seeing it altogether. Going into seeing [...]

Last night I attended my 12th show of Prince‘s 21 Night Stand concert residency here in LA which, I have learned, is coming to an end this weekend. Apparently, the 21 Nite Stand refers to 21 performances … not 21 actual nights of shows. It was revealed yesterday that this weekend’s shows — Friday, Saturday and Sunday — will be the final shows … so that made last night’s performance a bit more special.

I have to say, Prince seemed to exhibit a new kind of energy in last night’s show … he turned on the sexy made the crowd go wild with the flipping open of his shirt. The setlist got switched up a bit, much to the crowd’s glee. Here is the setlist from last night’s show:

Samples Set:

When Doves Cry (In full)

Nasty Girl

Sign O’ the Times

Alphabet Street

Forever In My Life

Darling Nikki

Hot Thing

I Would Die 4 U

D.M.S.R.

Pop Life

Encore 1:

A Love Bizarre (Duet with Nikka Costa)

Controversy

Encore 2:

Disco Heat

Baby I’m A Star

Kiss

Encore 3:

Nothing Compares 2 U (Duet with Shelby J.)

I can’t even believe it but … as soon as I learned that this weekend’s shows will be the last I immediately got unreasonably and inexplicably bummed out. Trust me, I know how lucky we Los Angelinos are that we got about a month of Prince shows to attend in various venues — and I am really grateful for that — but I’ve oddly become accustomed to weekly Prince shows. Lord, I’m gonna go into mourning after Sunday night’s final show … I just know it ;)

Tonight, I go back for my 13th show with my friend Josh so I’m really looking forward to that :) I hope your long Memorial Day weekend is off to a great start … have a hot dog for me, y’all!!

How to Read Violin Notes for Beginners 4 Simple Steps

There are two different ways to get notes out of the violin and you will need to learn both to correctly learn how to play the violin for beginners. The first is playing by plucking the strings, which is known as pizzicato and will be written like this on your sheet of music. When it comes to plucking the strings, you should be careful not to do it with your fingernails and always use the pads of your fingers - usually your index and middle fingers.

Last night was the second to last Prince concert at The Forum in Inglewood, CA as his 21 Nite Stand in Los Angeles concert residency comes to a close. I attended last night’s show with my good friend Josh and an AMAZING friend of his hooked us up with VIP tickets and aftershow passes. As if that wasn’t awesome enough, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige opened up for and performed with Prince during last night’s concert. Honestly, all of the Prince shows have been special … but this may be the most special of all.

Sadly, the security was really super tight all night long so I wasn’t able to take any photos AT ALL. Not one. But I can assure you, it was a magical night of music. Mary J. Blige KILLED her performance. That woman sings with her whole heart … it was such a treat to get to see her perform before Prince‘s set. During Prince‘s set, she came out to duet with him on Nothing Compares 2 U (with Maceo Parker on saxophone) and they gave the most stunning performance of that song that I have ever heard … period! The setlist was packed with hits … there wasn’t an empty seat in the entire arena … it was nothing but LOVE all night long. Here is the setlist from last night’s show:

Samples set:

When Doves Cry

Last night was the 20th show of the 21 Nite Stand … and Prince just keeps on bringing the HEAT! Josh and I had the best time ever!! After the show, we made our way to the Forum Club for the afterparty and waiting patiently in front of the set up stage in the hopes that Prince would play another set of music. DJ Rashida provided the amazing music and we ended up dancing the night away. Unfortch, Prince did not perform … but we did have a blast dancing with members of Prince‘s band to the best playlist of music ever! We had a late, late night … and tonight, I’m going back for one last time. Prince‘s 21 Nite Stand in Los Angeles ends tonight … I can’t even wait to see how it will all end.

Since the 1930s and the 1940s, superheroes have provided comic book aficionados with a prototype of the all-American hero, who, via superhuman powers, protects the public from all danger and harm. These same comic book readers are all grown up today, when events occurring around the world make all of us wish for real-life superheroes to come along and save the day, making everything safe again for all those that live here. One of the most popular reasons the appeal of superheroes remains a constant in our society is simply because everyone can identify with them.

The Guitar Kits Edge When It Comes to Making a Custom Guitar

For someone like me, who pays close attention to lyrics, at times even before the music, Ryan Driver's album Who's Breathing? is pure perfection. It's a blissful frolic through fields of contradiction and beauty, where one can bask in the loveliness of the English language. Too flowery? Maybe. But for a word nerd like me, Who's Breathing? is amazing.

One of the major contributors to the success of the entertainment industry is the sales from the big screen. Nowadays, movies are becoming competitive in terms of animation, casting, setting and story. Most of us are fond of watching movies because we are amazed by the scenery in the movies that we do not usually see in the real world. We have seen a lot of houses from different movies where the story of the movie revolves.

Here we go again!

Mel Gibson and his estranged ex, Oksana Grigorieva, are reportedly back in court, this time due to a disagreement over where to enroll their daughter together, Lucia, in school!

Apparently, Grigorieva wants to put the 22-month old in a private school in the valley, but because Gibson is based in Malibu, doesn't feel like driving that far out of the way when he has custody, and is instead looking for somewhere equal distance from both their homes.

Frankly, we think he's lucky that he has custody at all, given what he's proven to be capable of, so he shouldn't be pushing his luck!

Seriously - can't these two just compromise? You'd think that they'd be exhausted with all of this nonsense by now!

Get your heads out of your asses and actually think about what would be best for your CHILD, people!

Should be quite a weekend at the movies!

For the past two weeks, Rise of the Planet of the Apes landed the #1 spot at the box office, but now there's talk that The Help might be the top grosser for its second week in release.

The Emma Stone-starring film exceeded expectations last week, bringing in $25.5 million and coming in at second place.

According to projections, The Help is expected to bring in approximately $18 million this upcoming weekend.

Other movies that will be competing for that #1 spot include Fright Night, One Day, Conan the Barbarian, Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, AND there's always the possibility that Apes maintains its throne!

Who knows, though! Maybe The Smurfs will return to #1 in a surprise move! It COULD happen! Ha!

What will U see this weekend? Do U think The Help will be #1 at the box office???

Heather Locklear’s Daughter, Ava Sambora, Cast In Knocked Up Spinoff

Heather Locklear’s daughter, Ava Sambora, has been tapped to star in Judd Apatow’s next comedy, a spinoff of the popular 1997 film, ‘Knocked Up’. The 13-year-old, whose Daddy is Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, is a spitting image of her beautiful mother, isn’t she? The spinoff will focus around the characters of Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann (who is married to Apatow). Ava will play the best friend of Rudd and Mann’s daughter, Sadie, who is played by Maude Apatow, the real life daughter of Mann and Apatow. Whew, are you confused yet? Heh heh. Who else is set to co-star? Hilarious Melissa McCarthy of ‘Mike & Molly’ and ‘Bridesmaids’ fame, the sexy Megan Fox and Albert Brooks is set to play Rudd’s father. The movie is currently filming and is scheduled to be released in June of 2012. This is Ava’s first acting gig and I’m betting she’ll be following in her Mama’s footsteps in no time. If that doesn’t pan out for her, she can always walk the runway, just like she did for her father’s fashion line for women, White Trash Beautiful, back in March of 2010. While Ava’s mother still looks gorgeous as ever as she [...]

One important aspect a singer needs to be cautious about when learning how to sing better is to keep his/her larynx completely tension free. The larynx, more commonly known as "The Voice Box" is nothing but a small piece of box that keeps our vocal chords in hold. It is made of a cartilage and is surrounded and supported by muscles.

Honey Bee Is One Sweet Song

Many people are quite surprised to know that some of the best concert pianists of the 20th century often played on used or rebuilt pianos. You may wonder why they would choose to play on used upright pianos when they have all the money to buy a brand-new piano. It is similar to people who purchase old model cars only to fix them up again. It is because they believe that older cars are of better quality than their more modern counterparts. The cars may not have the technological features that contemporary cars have, but they are often sturdier and stronger.
