Mary J. Blige is doing "JUST FINE" in LA!!!
MARY J. BLIGE
“GROWING PAINS”
EVENT RECAP--LA REGION
On Friday, December 7th, Blackweekly.com's Meet Me At... and First Fridays Los Angeles' Exclusive Mary J Blige New Album Pre-Review Party took place at the fabulous Royale on Wilshire. I arrived at the event early to place (2) MJB 3x3 custom pop boards, place postcards on the tables of the dining/VIP area, and flyers regarding MJB listening event at Kimble Hair Studio. Around 200+ guests enjoyed an evening of mixing, mingling, and music featuring MJB “Just Fine” CD give-aways, dancing, while MJB dvd video reel played. What’s interesting about this event is that the after-hour social mixer (from 5pm to 9pm) reaches the middle to upper class African_American male/female (age 35 to 55); however the party from 9pm-until skews a little younger with ages ranging from 25 to 45. The female/male ratio was about 75/25. MJB tracks that did receive the best response throughout the night include “Just Fine,” “Shakedown,” and “Work That.” Thanks to Jaime Gopez,Mikelle Schwartz and Fleace Weaver for helping make this event a success J **unfortunately, venue was too dark..pictures did not show up clear.
On Monday, December 10th, First Friday attendees, Kimberly Kimble VIP clients, and my retail/lifestyle accounts came out to enjoy wine, NUVO (this is the next BIG thing), refreshments, and FREE hair consultations at Kimberly Kimble’s newly remodeled hair salon “KIMBLE HAIR STUDIO” located at 1106 N. La Cienega Blvd. in West Hollywood.
(2) MJB 3x3 custom pop boards were placed in the hair studio (one positioned outside in front of the studio/the other one was placed inside, MJB postcards were placed throughout the hair studio, and MJB posters were placed inside the Kimble “gift bags” distributed by the Kimble staff. Around 75 plus VIP clients, and tastemakers enjoyed the sounds of MJB’s new cd “Growing Pains.” Celebrities such as Slim Thug, Idalis DeLeon (actress from Women Thou Art Loose), MJB’s makeup artist, Flex Alexander (actor of One on One show) and his wife Shanice Wilson (early 90’s r&b star) all stopped by to show Miss Kimble and MJB some love….it truly was a wonderful and inspiring event. Here’s why…Kimberly Kimble is the most noted black celebrity stylist out right now, and her newly remodeled studio..reflects just that.
The sleek and contemporary studio has all the air of luxury with it’s black , white, and silver décor. As you walk behind the “Kimble Hair Studio” sign you are greeted by salon chairs, a HUGE projector (that played MJB video reel continuously throughout the night) and the cutest thing ever is that their our mini flat screens actually built into the mirrors adjacent to each salon chair….sweet!!! Plus, MJB modeling different hairstyles that Kimberly created also have been placed in the reception area for her customers to view.
As “Growing Pains” played throughout the 3 hour VIP soiree..positive feedback on “Just Fine,” “Shakedown,” “Work That,” “Roses,” “Grown Folks…” wow, let’s just say the whole cd got RAVE REVIEWS!! This is the FIRST time Kimberly Kimble has done a listening event at her salon and she seemed VERY PLEASED by the outcome. She loves MJB, and basically is willing to do anything to help promote her new cd. She is already in discussion with her phone company to see if MJB tracks can play as customers call her hair studio, and if there is a way the label will allow her to stream MJB music on her website www.kimblehaircare.com she is willing to do that also. It was really nice to cater to the upper-class African-American crowd..sometimes they are often forgotten, and by the success of this event….THIS TARGET MARKET will come out! :)
THANK YOU’S: Ok, I must thank Jennifer Dalton (Kimberly Kimble’s publicist) for helping me create such a successful event and the rest of the Margaret Maldonado staff (Janine—thanks). Lloyd Hummel, LaShawn Norton, and Amy Allen for assisting in the funding for this event…. yippee J you are my lifesavers, Marlon Singleton for coming out showing support, assisting in the set-up of this event, and helping provide bartenders..Kim really loved this touch..you are the best Marlon!! :)…..team IGA BABY!! The NUVO staff for helping bartend this event---the “Kimtini’s” went over well—everyone raved about them. Also I would like to thank my retailers from VIP Wilmington and VIP Long Beach for coming out with your guest---I’m glad you had a GREAT time, Mike Brown thank you :) for coming out with your wife—and taking GREAT pixs for me, and last but not least MISS KIMBERLY KIMBLE for graciously opening the Kimble Hair Studios for MJB fans, and being a fabulous host. You mingled with everyone, and made all of my clients feel at ease…you are truly an inspiration to any female aspiring to be an entrepreneur…THANK YOU and I look forward to doing marketing promotions with you and the rest of the Kimble staff in the future. :)

Shiny Toy Guns Earn Grammy Nomination
Universal Motown Indie Icons Score First-Ever Grammy Nod
Universal Motown Records’ Shiny Toy Guns scored their first-ever Grammy nomination on Thursday in the Best Electronic/Dance Album category for their breakthrough CD We Are Pilots. The electronic bands’s edgy repertoire of groundbreaking dance music has helped rekindle the genre’s increased popularity with fans and music tastemakers across the globe. The coveted Grammy nomination is a triumph for the foursome, whose relentless touring and intricately connected online community has made them one of the trailblazing, under-the-radar-success stories of 2007.
It truly has been a remarkable year for the band. In 2007, their breakthrough album We Are Pilots was released in the UK where it climbed to #1 on the UK Alternative iTunes Sales chart within weeks. Shiny Toy Guns also played a special performance in New York City at Kanye West’s birthday party, and scored a rousing guest performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live. They have also been a favorite of trendspotters in the branding community, chosen by Apple to re-launch their Logic Program. The band’s infectious music has also been a featured component of a worldwide marketing campaign for Motorola’s RAZR2 phone, as well as being featured in such TV shows as Dancing With The Stars, Private Practice, Dirty, Sexy, Money and So You Think You Can Dance.
The group enjoyed amazing worldwide critical and fan support with their smash single “Le Disko,” from their hit debut album, becoming a mainstay of the Billboard’s Heatseekers chart throughout 2006-2007. Their current single, “Rainy Monday”, is now climbing the charts and following the same success of “Le Disko”. Shiny Toy Guns is currently touring in support of We Are Pilots.

WISIN & YANDEL, "LOS EXTRATERRESTRES" Film Music Video Alongside Franco De Vita
San Juan, PR, December 4, 2007- Wisin & Yandel and Franco De Vita shook up La Perla in Old San Juan during the filming for the video of "Dónde Está El Amor?", new song off their chart topping album 'Los Extraterrestres' -the album released on November 6th and currently sits on the Top spots of Billboard Charts.
The video sets out to capture world issues due to poverty using visuals from the many of the barrios in Old San Juan. The plot takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of an eight-year-old child and his melancholic walk through the streets of city while trying to comprehend his plight and that of his family for something to eat. Wisin & Yandel's uncompromising passion alongside Franco De Vita's unique sensibility fills the video with a similar feeling to that of the Brazilian movie "City Of God", successfully provoking the audience to think and act upon global social injustice.
More than one hundred people participated in the filming of the Jessy Terrero directed video, the same director of the duo's previous video for the single "Sexy Movimiento."
"We are incredibly moved by this project we have undertaken with Franco, a man we greatly admire and respect" expressed Wisin during the video shoot.
Yandel noted "It is an honor for us to share this moment with Franco de Vita, a musical icon and we hope to use this video to help end all disharmonies between brothers. I think this song is our greatest contribution to the cause."
"Los Extraterrestres" continue to work through the Holiday season and will start 2008 with a very hectic schedule which includes a grand performance at the Viña del Mar festival in Chile.
Wisin & Yandel are also preparing for their massive international tour which will take them to Central and South America as well as Europe.

“a cultural hero due to his thoughtful & courageous stance against violence and injustice. His sales have been stratospheric, his presence on Billboard and other charts prolonged… the multiple Grammy winner has also racked up a growing presence in the Anglo press and media… an ardent musical imagination, a gift for poetic, barbed but nonetheless conciliatory lyrics, and a tenor voice that recalls a Latin John Lennon… On La Vida...Es un Ratico), his fourth studio album, Juanes is once again revealed as a rare combination of guts and glamour, ardor and activism, beauty and brains.” – Amazon editorial review

Birdman 5*Stunna In-Stores Dec. 11th
Hailed in a recent Miami Herald profile as ‘head of one of the last-standing triple crown crews,’ Cash Money founder/mogul/award winning rapper Birdman (aka Baby) is about to add to his multi-platinum hit-making legacy once again with his much anticipated third solo album – 5 Stunna. The 22 song CD is due in stores on December 11th.
The CD features the explosive new single, “100 Million,” featuring Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross; along with the production of Cool & Dre. The new video for the sizzling song premiered on BET’s Access Granted over Thanksgiving weekend to a rousing response, garnering more than 20,000 views via the internet’s most popular video sharing destination, YouTube, within its first 24 hours of availability. The trailer for the new clip has already become a viewing staple of taste-making hip-hop sites such as xxlmag.com and yoraps.com, and others. The song follows Birdman’s previous pre-release scorcher “Pop Bottles,” featuring Lil Wayne, which quickly became one of the most played hits of urban radio, video, ringtone and digital domains. The video for “100 Million” will be the New Joint on BET’s signature show 106 & Park on the day of the album’s release, December 11th.
The new album features a host of superstar producers and collaborators joining Birdman, including Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Cash Money newcomer Brisco, and producers Cool & Dre, T-Mixx and Steve Morales, among others. Songs lighting up the new disc - produced almost entirely in Miami’s Hit Factory studios - include “I Run This” featuring Lil Wayne, “I’m A Stunna,” and “Grind,” featuring Lil Wayne and Brisco.

Mars Volta - “Goliath The Soothsayer” The Game
Beginning the first week of January, visitors to the Amazon.com music page (http://amazon.com/music) will be the first to experience “Goliath The Soothsayer,” an online game based on The Mars Volta’s forthcoming The Bedlam In Goliath. The game will be available exclusively via Amazon.com from January 2nd through January 29th, the official street date for the new record. Pre-order is not necessary to play to the game.
“Goliath The Soothsayer” is based on the true story that inspired the narrative laid out on The Bedlam In Goliath. Like previous Mars Volta efforts De-Loused In The Comatorium and Frances The Mute, the album is a thematically linked whole, the songs chapters in a bigger story, inspired by real people, places and events. The Bedlam In Goliath chronicles The Mars Volta’s time with the “Soothsayer” a/k/a the Ouija board owned by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala, and its mutation from a source of amusement during the tour supporting the band’s Amputechture album into a malevolent psycho-spiritual force that nearly tore the group apart, collectively and individually.
Check out the TRAILER
In the meantime you can play the Mars Volta Puzzle - my best score is 240 moves - can you beat that?

She was beyond funny and charming, and one night at a karaoke bar, she proceeded to bowl all of us over with her amazing pipes. Now she’s an international sensation known simply as Sia, whose song “Breathe Me” highlighted the last episode of Six Feet Under. January brings her third album, Some People Have Real Problems, featuring Beck on the cut “Academia.” When we surprised the all-around entertainer after a recent New York gig, she said, “Fuck a duck!” Yes, fuck a duck, and in the meantime, buy her Day Too Soon EP, featuring “Buttons” and three other hot tracks."

ANDREA BOCELLI KICKS OFF U.S. CONCERT TOUR
HIS FIRST GREATEST HITS COLLECTION
“LO MEJOR DE ANDREA BOCELLI – VIVERE”
IS IN STORES NOW
MULITPLE MARKETS AND TIMES ADDED
TO THE BROADCAST OF HIS LATEST PBS SPECIAL
“VIVERE: ANDREA BOCELLI LIVE IN TUSCANY”
Miami, FL (November 28, 2007) – International superstar Andrea Bocelli returns to the U.S. for select concert dates beginning this weekend at the famed MGM Grand in Las Vegas (December 1st) and wrapping up December 15th in Anaheim. This not-to-be-missed show will feature the celebrated tenor performing some of the world’s most famous opera arias as well as Pop and love songs from his greatest hits collection, “LO MEJOR DE ANDREA BOCELLI – VIVERE,” which is now in stores under the Siente Music label, the joint venture of two global entertainment companies, Venevision International, part of the Cisneros Group, and Universal Music Latino, the Latin music division of Universal Music Group.
Joining Andrea Bocelli on tour is long-time conductor Steven Mercurio and special guest Tony Award®-winner Heather Headley, who sang the duet “The Prayer” with Bocelli, on his live DVD concert, “UNDER THE DESERT SKY” (Siente Music), which is also currently available in stores.
Throughout his sold-out U.S. tour last Fall, Bocelli received rave reviews for demonstrating confidence and mastery in both Classical and Pop worlds. “His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion… he owned Madison Square Garden,” celebrated the New York Post. The Sun Sentinel concurred stating, “Bocelli’s singing moves people… He brought suave phrasing and affecting emotion to an arrangement of Italian songs.” The Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, “[Bocelli] brings a passion and joy to such familiar [classical] pieces,” proclaiming, “It was a triumphant appearance.”
The airing of his most recent PBS Special, “Vivere: Andrea Bocelli Live in Tuscany,” which premiered in New York this past Thanksgiving weekend, will now be broadcasted in excess of 500 times in more than 200 markets across the country. Joining Andrea Bocelli in the PBS Special are “grandissimo sassofonista” Kenny G, trumpeter Chris Botti, piano virtuoso Lang Lang, Italian pop star Eliza, and legendary musician, songwriter and producer David Foster. And lending this talented vocals are everyone’s favorite divas Sarah Brightman, Heather Headley and Laura Pausini.
Among the telecast’s musical highlights are the song that launched Bocelli’s career, “Il mare calmo della sera,” and the one that brought him international stardom, “Time to Say Goodbye,” the latter in duet with Sarah Brightman; Laura Pausini joining him for “Vive Ya” (Vivere); Bocelli and Heather Headley reprising the popular “Vivo per lei,“ plus several new selections from the just-released “LO MEJOR DE ANDREA BOCELLI – VIVERE.” Also featured is a meltingly romantic medley of songs from his first complete Spanish-language album, “AMOR” (Siente Music), that includes “Bésame mucho” and “Somos novios.” (Attached please find an updated schedule of broadcast times and markets.)
Released earlier this month, “LO MEJOR DE ANDREA BOCELLI – VIVERE” marks more than a decade of chart-topping albums that has made him a household name and beloved cultural figure the world over. The album features selections from Bocelli’s wildly popular recordings including “ROMANZA,” certified four-times Platinum, “SOGNO,” certified two-times Platinum, and “AMOR,” which surpassed Latin Platinum status just months after its release.
One of the highlights of the album is its first promotional single, “Vive Ya,” a captivating duet with Latin singing sensation Laura Pausini, which the duo brilliantly performed during the recent Latin Grammys ceremony in Las Vegas; others include “The Prayer,” another duet made famous with Celine Dion, and the more recent Bocelli hit “Besame mucho,” among others. Several new tracks are also exclusively available on “VIVERE,” including new compositions by the renowned and accomplished writer/producer David Foster. Other notable guests on the disc include the acclaimed classical pianist Lang Lang and world renowned saxophonist Kenny G.
With the release of his greatest hits collection, the nationwide airing of his PBS Special, and in particular his concert tour, Bocelli promises to give fervent followers and new fans alike a spectacular evening of the very best -- soaring arias and passionate love songs from around the world, reaffirming his status as one of the most celebrated tenors, and romantic voices alive today.

Saturday, December 1st MGM Grand Las Vegas, NV

Even with a small tumble the Jonas Brothers rocked the stage at the AMAs performing the song SOS. Maroon 5 slowed things down a bit with a ballad and their newest single Won't Go Home Without You. Rihanna was joined on stage by a full string section and fellow Def Jam labelmate Ne-Yo for a performance of Hate That I Love You. Country group Sugarland surprisingly did not perform a song from Enjoy The Ride but did a country rendition of Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" where she joined them for the second half of the song. After an introduction from Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige gave a hot hot hot performance of Just Fine. Verve artist Queen Latifah performed "I Know Where I've Been" off her new album Trav'llin' Light.
