Farewell Mr. Paul Newman, But You Will Always Be in Our Hearts

Paul Leonard Newman (January 26, 1925 – September 26, 2008)

There were some people I wished they would live forever and not die. Paul Newman was one of them.

Paul Newman was an American actor who was one of the greatest men in the world for his humanitarian acts and donated over US$220 million to many charities before he passed on. Paul was also a film director, entrepreneur, and auto racing expert. He won an Oscar, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award, an Emmy award, and other laurels. He won championships as a driver in Sports Car Club of America and his team won trophies in the open wheel IndyCar racing. His food company Newman's Own is very popular.

Paul Newman passed away at home in Westport, Connecticut on September 26, 2008, after suffering from lung cancer.

Midas Promotions, in association with On Golden Pond Pictures multimedia entertainment company and Blue Giraffe Sports, today announced that one of the pop industry's favourite female singers and Black Eyed Peas front woman Fergie will appear live in concert on November 14th at Dubai Media City. The show will be Fergie's first live solo performance in Dubai where she is scheduled to perform tracks from her multi-platinum debut solo album "The Dutchess."


Tickets will go on sale on Sunday 5 October at 12 noon Dubai/10 am London at http://www.timeouttickets.com and at http://www.boxofficeme.com Ticket prices start at 295 AED / pounds Sterling 43.70 / Euro 55.00 There are also concert ticket / hotel / plane packages from the U.K & Europe available at 1001 Luxury http://www.1001-luxury.com


Says Fergie: "I'm so excited about sharing my music and performing live for my fans in Dubai. I love interacting with the audience and I can't wait to get back on stage doing what I do best."


In 2003, The Black Eyed Peas were recording their third album, 2003's Elephunk, when will.i.am invited Fergie to try out for a song called "Shut Up." She got the gig and instantly bonded with the trio to record five additional songs on the album after which she was invited to join them permanently.


After two BEP albums, Fergie turned her sights on a solo career. Her first album, released in September 2006, The Dutchess, is reminiscent of the Black Eyed Peas sound, most likely due to fellow BEP member, will.i.am, featured on production duties. Fergie worked with an array of talent, and the lyrics focus on Fergie's own brand of style and delivery.


Fergie has had six hit songs from The Dutchess, with "London Bridge", "Fergalicious", "Glamorous", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Clumsy", and "Finally" becoming number one US singles. Her singles, "Fergalicious" and "London Bridge" reached #2 on the United World Chart, while "Fergalicious" and "Glamorous" both made it to #4. "Big Girls Don't Cry" became Fergie's first worldwide #1 single, and is her most successful single to date. The album has so far spawned three U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and five Top 5 hits, making The Dutchess the seventh album from a female artist to spawn five Top 5 hits.


The concert follows the news that the singer has been cast as Saraghina in "Nine," a big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning musical. She joins an A-list cast including Daniel Day Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench and Kate Hudson, directed by Rob Marshall ("Chicago"). Filming is set to begin in October.

"Janet Jackson still a trend-setter, diva, and marvelous performer -- When she decides it's time for a tour, Ms. Jackson makes sure it's done right. And when she promises fans the show is going to be packed with hits, costumes and dancers, she doesn't disappoint."
Vancouver Sun

"Some two hours and 35 songs later, Jackson had played all 10 of her No. 1 hits, as well as her other blockbusters ... That's how a true pro gets back to business after a seven-year absence from the road."
Contra Costa Times

"Any show following Janet Jackson into GM Place will find it difficult to match her."
Vancouver Province

"Offering up a lengthy and engrossing song-and-dance spectacle that delivers on every level..."
Variety

"Nine seamlessly executed costume changes are only the beginning. This show is all about dominance, and Jackson held the whip."
Los Angeles Times

Rock Witchu kicked off on September 10th in Vancouver, BC with unparalleled dance routines and stage production featuring more than two hours of music including fan favorites and smash hits "Control," "Rhythm Nation," "Pleasure Principal," "All For You," "Young Love," "Let's Wait A While," "What Have You Done For Me Lately," "Escapade," and more along with new singles "Feedback" and "LUV," spanning three decades of music that have made Janet Jackson one of the most celebrated performers in history.

LL Cool J joins the tour on the heels of 13th album release, Exit 13.

"This tour has been an incredible journey for me," says Celine. "First of all, it's given Rene and I a chance to travel the world with our 7-1/2 year old son, and as well, we've had my mother who is 81 years old traveling with us...so it's been a wonderful family experience, and I feel really privileged. At the same time, it's been so rewarding for me to reach out to my fans and perform many of the songs that they have supported me on for so many years. We do some new songs, of course, but we make sure to do the long-time favorites as well."

Love Lives On Even When Nothing Else Matters

I have to cope with the stress of the megacity of Lagos since I returned after staying long on Bonny Island. I have been busy doing my best for the public appreciation of the new Supple magazine. I am glad and grateful to the Almighty God for the corporate and general public acceptance of the magazine. My commitment to the progress and success of Supple is a labour of love as illustrated in the following poem I composed out of my love for the magazine.
The success of the Publisher is my success.

I was captivated by her lithe supple body
As she swayed to the rhythm of my melody.
She smiled at me with glints in her bright eyes
As she greeted me with her sparkling white teeth.
I stretched out my hands to welcome her into my heart and soul
She sauntered into my loving arms and we locked in the communion of love.

I gave a young woman named Peace, the opportunity to work, but she lied that she could operate a PC. The Publisher of Supple tested her and she failed. She did not report for work today. She was recommended by Chichi, the secretary of the Publisher.
Later Chichi told me that she was in a bad mood and she was looking drepressed. I asked her what was troubling her and she told me that she was sad, because her family had no money to pay for her compulsory matriculation examination. She told me the examination fee and I said that was not a problem, because she would get the money for it from me. She smiled and was now looking happy. Charity is the greatest love. Charity should not be a difficult task. Be happy and merry in caring and sharing.

Love inspires me to act or react in response to what I see, hear or feel. Love keeps me going even when other things no longer move me. I live and work for love and love is the elixir of my life.

The Beautiful Ones Are in Nigeria.

Sasi,
The beautiful ones are being born and I have met them.
One of them came yesterday, beautiful brown skin and long braids and flashing white teeth and with soft voice.
She waited for an hour, because I was busy and I later joined her.
We spoke about the romance of life in Lagos.
She has kept herself and walked with her head high.
Yes, you can be pretty and sexy and party and still remain pure and true.
"I am back now and we are going places," I said.
I saw the glints in her brown eyes.
She has the unique poetic beauty that is not common.
She is a Nigerian sweetheart and she is not the only one in Nigeria.
We have many Nigerian sweethearts who are still pure and true.
They have beauty with dignity and integrity and yes, Sasi, I love them all.

N.B:
The photographs are coming.
