Starcastle (on with Styx, Fireballet, and Kansas) were piece of a belated stateside reply to British progressive rock. With Gary Strater's melodic basso lines, Herb Schildt's Moog runs, and Terry Luttrell's sometimes precious vocals, the circle was intelligibly modeled from Yes, in particular in its first base 2 releases. While Starcastle unremarkably came kayoed the worse for such comparisons, there were genuine moments of fine, intricate musicianship. Bastion (1977) showed some musical outgrowth aside from their "Yes-lite" phase, just now the dance band weather-beaten 1978 roughly as badly as their British inspirations and hide aside subsequently the artistically and financially fatal album Reel to Real.


Strater retained the band's name for a revamped configuration in the '80s, and this lineup produced some music that overcame the long shadow over the band's believability in reformist circles. Unfortunately, no albums were released in this period. When Starcastle reconvened in the mid-1990s, in that location was mouth by band members of releasing a new record album, a possibility heightened by the CD reissue of their back catalog in 1998.

Rapper Coolio arrested in Hollywood

Artis Leon Ivey Jr., the Compton rap singer-turned chef better known as " Coolio," was arrested by Los Angeles police in Hollywood this morning on an outstanding traffic warrant.

Ivey, 44, was stopped at about 1 a.m. while driving near Sunset Boulevard and Sweetzer Avenue after officers on a routine patrol noticed the tags on his gray 1996 Hummer had expired, said Los Angeles police Officer April Harding. He was later booked on an outstanding misdemeanor traffic warrant for driving with a suspended license, Harding said.

Ivey was released at 6:40 a.m. on $10,000 bond, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's records.





Ivey's biggest hit "Gangsta's Paradise" was released in 1995 and featured in the film "Dangerous Minds" which starred Michelle Pfeiffer as a former Marine who becomes a teacher to inner-city high school students.

This year, he launched an Internet television show, “Cooking with Coolio,” in which he bills himself as "the ghetto witchdoctor superstar chef" who "is here to make you forget about every cooking show you've ever heard."

Although she was initially viewed as all the same some other human face in the late-'90s crowd of stripling pop acts of the Apostles, Pink cursorily showed signs of becoming ane of the rare artists to pass and outgrow the label. Born Alecia Moore on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, PA (approximate Philadelphia), Pink received her nickname as a baby (it had nil to do with her afterward shade of hair dye). She grew up in a melodic family and by age 13 was a regular on the Philadelphia club scenery, number 1 as a dancer, then as a patronage singer for the local hip-hop mathematical group Schools of Thought. At 14, she began writing her have songs; the same class, a local DJ at Club Fever began allowing her onstage to blab a song every Friday.


Pink was spotty one night by an executive for MCA, wHO asked her to audition for an R&B grouping called Basic Instinct; although she got the gig, the group imploded non long after. She was rapidly recruited for a female R&B trio called Choice, which signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace judge on the strength of their demo; however, they besides disbanded due to differences all over musical direction. During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl Simmons asked Pink to write a bridge division for the sung "Precisely to Be Loving You"; impressed with the results, Pink rediscovered her songwriting muse and an evenly impressed L.A. Reid before long gave her a solo deal with LaFace.


Pink recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home, with a mixture of songwriting partners and dance-pop and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the record album was a double-platinum stumble; it spun off trey Top Ten singles in "At that place U Go," "To the highest degree Girls," and "You Make Me Sick." She toured that summertime as the opening playact for *N Sync, simply soon constitute herself shopworn of being pigeonholed as purely a adolescent act disdain her saucy, candid theatrical role. As she set about working on her follow-up album, Pink took role in the remake of Patti LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which as well featured power plant divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim. The vocal was a massive hit, topping the charts in both the U.S. and U.K.


Toward the end of the class, Pink released her next unmarried, "Get the Party Started"; it became her biggest, to the highest degree inescapable hit to date, climb into the Top Five. Her sequent sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, cursorily went double platinum; it boasted a more personal vocalism and a more than eclectic sound, plus heavy contributions from ex-4 Non Blondes vocaliser Linda Perry, wHO helped add some more rock muscular tissue to Pink's profound (as did edgar Albert Guest appearances by Steven Tyler and Richie Sambora). M!ssundaztood attracted prescribed decisive notices as well, and its irregular single, "Don't Let Me Get Me," became some other fast-rising Top Ten hit.


Garden pink future issued Judge This in November 2003. The album was a bite more rock-oriented, imputable in contribution to the songwriting collaboration of Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong on eight of the album's tracks. Try This' hint single, "Trouble," kookie into the pep pill regions of Billboard's Top 40, and earned Pink a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On the home front, Pink wed motocross racing car Carey Hart -- whom she had ab initio met at 2001's X-Games -- on January 7, 2006, in Costa Rica. Her side by side album, I'm Not Dead, appeared that April; its number 1 single, "Unintelligent Girls," quick became a gain, and the album reached the Top Ten.






Lost in Beijing - 5/13/2008

A nervy love-quadrangle story that contains much less than the sum of its attractive parts, Lost in Beijing is just the kind of lost generation film that a country entering the full throes of a yuppie consumer crisis would be expected to make. Unfortunately, the government didn't see its creation as quite so necessary, and purportedly due to some explicit sex scenes ("sensuality" in our own MPAA's parlance), the film was banned in China (though according to Time, plenty of its citizens are watching it online anyway, along with the uncensored version of Lust, Caution) and its makers prohibited from making films on the mainland for two years. It's just as likely, however, that the film was kept from theaters due to its uniformly grim and unromantic view of modern-day China, one that seems to be blazing at full and unreflective speed into an unattractively modern future with nary a glance to the past.



The two couples who make up the majority of this tight-knit film are hardly the kind of entrepreneurs the Chinese government would want to present as the face of the new China. Dong (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) runs a quite successful massage parlor and has a regular assignation with a prostitute while his wife Wang-mei (Elaine Jin) sulks in her splendidly appointed apartment. Ping-guo (Fan Bingbing) works at Dong's parlor as a masseuse; she and her high-rise window-washer husband An-kun (Tong Da Wei) share a grim hole of an apartment that seems par for the course in Beijing. Ping-guo and An-kun seem poor but at least happy with each other; a state of existence that's abruptly shattered when An-kun, after staying out drinking with a friend, stumbles back to the massage parlor and passes out only to wake up and find herself being raped by Dong.



Which is where writers Fang Li (also the producer) and Li Yu (also the director) take things off the deep end. Not only is An-kun raped by her boss, but her husband Ping-guo, who just so happens to be washing the windows at the massage parlor that day, looks in and sees what has happened. It's a coincidence that in surer hands would have then led to either tragedy or farce -- nothing else would quite seem sensible after such a ludicrous happening -- but in this case turns more into sheer melodrama with pretensions of something grander; a Lifetime movie for the disaffected. A pregnancy follows, along with recriminations, grand schemes, revenge affairs, and so on down through the list of easy narrative twists until few are left.



Li has a fine hand on her material, in terms of direction. The look is sleek and brightly-hued, as befits the roaringly modern city that dwarfs these people: Beijing is all skyscrapers and highways, looking like a scrubbed-clean version of Los Angeles. Her camera has a jabbing voyeurism to it that's perfect for the just slightly tawdry material, and the acting (particularly by the most veteran of the bunch, Tony Leung Ka Fai) is generally naturalistic enough to keep the story's weaker points from showing too dramatically. With its brisk international style, Lost in Beijing looks like it could have been shot by any talented film school graduate from almost anywhere, which is probably the point. But unfortunately with each new twist in the story (now the blackmail attempt, and now the tearful accusation), whatever meaning the film might have had about China's disaffected, new striving capitalists, lost in the chaos and clutter, drains out even faster.
