Jazz: The Growth of Contemporary Jazz Music

Taking piano lessons requires commitment. You need to practice regularly in order to progress. Otherwise, every time you return to the piano, you waste time relearning techniques you should have already mastered. If you own an iPad, you can use basic skills to record and share your music - and as you improve your mastery, evidence of your progress can quickly and easily be captured on the iPad.

Shia LaBeouf Tells ‘Details’ Magazine That He Got Romantic With Megan Fox

It was rumored that he and his former Transformers co-star Megan Fox enjoyed a romantic [...]

Last night, against my personal wishes, I went to a showing of Bad Teacher with Darion, Josh and David and, I’m actually surprised to say, it was actually a pretty fun night. Bad Teacher is nowhere near the best movie of the year and, to be honest, I wouldn’t even call it a great movie … but it’s pretty good and much better than I was expecting. For the most part, the film was pretty predictable but, try as I might, I couldn’t resist laughing out loud once or twice. Bad Teacher wasn’t a good movie, necessarily … but it also isn’t a terrible movie.

I was really surprised by how much I liked Cameron Diaz in this flick. I can’t say that I’m a big fan of most of her movies but she really holds her own as the lead in Bad Teacher. Her comic timing could use a bit of work but all in all … she wasn’t bad. Justin Timberlake, on the other hand, was pretty terrible. His character was pretty crappy and that’s a large part of why I disliked him in the film but even more importantly, I just don’t find him funny. He tries, bless his heart but … no, he’s not good in this film. Jason Segel, I’m sorry to say, was pretty forgettable. I was hoping his character would turn out better than it did but, alas … it did not. Instead the break-out star is Lucy Punch who plays Amy Squirrel. Her character was irritating as the “villain” but Punch played her perfectly. Again, I wasn’t really wowed at all by Bad Teacher but as far as a fun night out at the movies with friends … it was suitable.

Tonight, David and I will be meeting up with our friends Darion and Woody at the Staples Center to see Rihanna in concert! Tonight should be a blast … cannot wait!! Happy Tuesday!

Tom Hanks Is A Dancing Fool (VIDEO)

Hanks stopped by a Univision studio this week to lend a hand with the weather, and for whatever the reason, the video of his goofy dance has gone viral. Okay, so I’m just as puzzled as you are about why the heck he would be at a Spanish language television studio in the first place. Sure, he’s out plugging his new film, but it’s just an odd combination. What’s even better is that anyone who has lived in the US for any period of time can at least spout off a few Spanish phrases, yet he acts completely oblivious when they start talking to him. It’s pretty funny stuff. After a few awkward moments, the party makes its way over to the green screen for a little weather presentation with meteorologist Chiquinquira Delgado. That’s when Tom Hanks the entertainer kicks in. Rather than stand there looking like a fool, he decides it’s time to bust out a goofy, Latin-themed dance, which was only a tad offensive. He manages to get the weather girl to join in for a bit, and it’s pretty clear not much actual reporting takes place. It’s pretty funny stuff, and I suppose it’s worth checking out [...]

First Look: ‘The Hunger Games’ Releases A First Movie Poster

Just days before the film is destined to wow fans at 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Lionsgate has released the first movie poster for the much-anticipated big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games.

David and I had a free night last night and we decided to go to the movies. It was his turn to pick so he chose Horrible Bosses. To be honest, I had heard mixed things about the movie … some of my friends loved it, others notsomuch. David and I were both really curious so we were excited to see it for ourselves. While I didn’t love the movie (by any stretch of the imagination), I also didn’t hate it entirely. Despite the problems I found with the movie, I found myself laughing more times than I expected so … I guess it wasn’t so bad.

The film’s biggest problem, IMHO, is how “paint by numbers” it feels. Once you get the gist of the film in the beginning, everything happens pretty much EXACTLY the way you expect. There are no twists, no surprises … it’s very predicable. I found Jennifer Aniston the most entertaining person in Horrible Bosses. I know, surprised me, too. She’s really very naughty in this film … and, therefore, very funny. I don’t think she’s ever looked hotter in any other film. The 3 lead actors — Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day — are fine but not great. IMHO, the writing could’ve been better and Day‘s character could’ve been less annoying. I started out liking Charlie Day‘s character but as the movie progressed, he became more and more annoying … in a Gilligan from Gilligan’s Island sort of way. That being said … I did keep laughing from time to time so I guess I couldn’t say I hated the film. In the end, Horrible Bosses can be a fun … if you let it.

New Couple Alert: Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron Dating?

There’s a new couple in Hollywood! What else is new, right? This time around, rumors are swirling that Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron are dating. Hmmm. I’m likin’ this pairing very much, how about you? A source told the mag that the two have been seeing each other ‘for months’ now, adding that ‘they’re exclusive, and it’s very hush-hush’. Hush-hush, indeed. If there is truth to the rumors, they have done a mighty fine job of evading the paps. According to a witness, Reynolds’ motorcycle allegedly could be seen at Theron’s home on the morning of June 5th, with Reynolds leaving at around 3:00 PM. Theron was seen making an exit a few minutes later. Hmmm. Now wait a minute…it sounds like this witness is stalkerish material. Heh heh. Both split from long term relationships last year – Reynolds and actress Scarlett Johansson announced that they were divorcing, and Theron and her long time boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, went their separate ways. Speaking of Johansson, she and Reynolds were seen breaking bread together Saturday at Little Dom’s restaurant in Los Angeles, according to PEOPLE. Could they possibly be getting back together? Reynolds made it known in a Details Magazine interview in [...]

Brooke Mueller was either removed of stormed off an airplane on Tuesday after getting into a heated tiff with a flight attendant.

Apparently, on a flight headed for Cancun and before the plane could pull away, Brooke went to use the restroom because she was feeling nauseous. The flight attendant told her no, as the plane was about to leave.

This didn't sit well with Brooke, who then lost her shizz and started yelling at the flight attendant, demanding that they let her off the plane:

Brooke insisted she had to throw up, but Brooke is telling people the flight attendant rudely replied, "Tough." Brooke then went ballistic and demanded to get off the plane. She says her wish was granted.

But other witnesses submit that her tirade ended with her being removed from the plane, not being granted an exit!

This is why they make airsickness bags, Brooke. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you can violate airplane rules and then act a fool about it!

Grammy Award History

The Grammy Awards began with only 28 categories, but today, the Grammys honor winners in 110 awards categories, including some honoring rock n' roll genres which they introduced in 1962. Only the awards carrying the greatest popular appeal - such as Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist - are distributed during the live broadcast, among live musical performances that round out the live telecast.

Grammy Categories and Nominations

Critics of the Grammy Awards bring attention to the notion that many musical legends were never awarded with Grammys, including Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin - as well as to the idea that sometimes artists are nominated in categories that do not actually suit the style of their music, and that awards do not always award what they say they do. For instance, while Best New Artist is described as a category to honor an artist or band who released a first album during the year's eligibility period that is commemorative of his/her/its public identity, many past nominees have actually released several albums prior to their nominations in that category.

The Les Paul guitar has been synonymous with music for so long, that most people don't even realize that it is named after a man. His name is Lester Polfus, and he was once the world's most famous musician who played the guitar. He was responsible for bringing the concept of an electric guitar with a solid body to the attention of the Gibson guitar company back in the 50s. At first, Gibson opted to reject the idea, but after some wise thinking, brought Lester in to help with designing what is now a musical masterpiece.
