Lupe Fiasco Writes 'Revolution' Tribute to Gil Scott-Heron

Filed under: ,


Getty Images (2)

Lupe Fiasco is a rapper of substance, which is why he would not let the passing of Gil Scott-Heron go by without paying tribute to the hip-hop pioneer. Inspired by Scott-Heron, who Lupe called a "guiding light of a human being," the Chicago MC expressed his sentiments on his blog, using the prolific poet and musician's 1970 work, 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,' as the spark needed to ignite his own words.

In the 'Words I Never Said' creator's piece, titled 'The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized,' Fiasco rhymes about the ills seen on TV, among other things, from shows featuring "small claims court drama" to "teenage baby mamas." He also dubs the screen a "one-eyed monster" that had a hand in raising "most of the world." While the rhymer's post is rather long, the message is clear: there's more thoughtlessness that comes from television viewing than thought provocation.

Gil Scott-Heron died on Friday (May 27) at the age of 62. An admitted cocaine user and a battler of an HIV infection, the spoken-word artist was resilient and focused on his creativity, combining music and poetry and inspiring many artists after him to include spoken-word artistry into their own craft.

Reflections on 'Survivor: Redemption Island'

 

I can't seem to stop thinking or talking about the end of Survivor: Redemption Island, so I decided it was probably worth trying to organize my thoughts and continue the conversation in a post here.

Honestly, I don't think the Redemption Island twist worked well at all. The idea that someone could come back into the game was intriguing, but the way it actually played out was fairly boring and actually undermined the game.

Not having someone leave the game at the end of each episode (or at least most episodes) really wrecks the dramatic structure of the whole show. And toward the end, when people just kept getting added and added to the island and no one was leaving and no one knew what was going to happen next -- that was just frustrating. Going into the finale with eight people left in the game didn't do much for the tension, either. In theory, it should have felt like the possibilities were endless, but by the time it really happened -- BOOM, sorry Matt and the other guys, Andrea's back in, followed five minutes later by Andrea's ouster -- it just felt pointless.

Amy Winehouse Downs Vodka Before Checking Into Rehab

Will Amy ever learn her lesson?
Will Amy ever learn her lesson?

You�d think that Amy Winehouse would have learnt her lesson by now after being hospitalised a couple of times for alcohol and drug abuse. But no, she hasn't. Recently she was spotted downing vodka at a liquor shop just before checking herself into the rehab centre, The Priory.
 
A passerby who was at the scene said that the singer �seemed to be out of it�, she stumbled and slurred her words. Amy, who had her usual beehive up-do, also ran into a salon to use their bathroom. Apparently she told the salon staff that she puked all over the bathroom but Amy�s spokesman denied it and said that Amy�s statement was merely a joke.


We can only hope that she'll clean up pretty soon.

Vanessa Redgrave Unveils Charity Rose For Natasha Richardson

Vanessa Redgrave paid tribute to her late daughter Natasha Richardson as she unveiled a rose named in her honor at Britain’s Chelsea Flower Show on Monday 23 May 2011.

Photo: Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson Rose

The veteran star visited the horticultural event in London to introduce the Natasha Richardson rose, named after her actress daughter, who died two years ago after a skiing accident.

The light pink UK-grown rose, which will be sold exclusively at the 29 Dobbies Garden Centres throughout the UK and online at www.dobbies.com, aims to raise �10,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK. Each rose retails at just �14.99, �5 of which will be donated to Make-A-Wish.

Photo: Natasha Richardson Rose

Vanessa Redgrave said: “Natasha’s family, her husband and her boys, are so happy that the Natasha Richardson rose will be on view to rose lovers at the Chelsea Flower Show. I share their happiness as Tasha’s mother. Tasha was born in the merry month of May, and every rose you buy will help bring joy to a child through Make-A-Wish. Joely, my darling second daughter, I thank you and the Harkness rose-breeders for making this happen with all my heart.”

Grown in the UK in Hertfordshire by Harkness Roses, one of the UK’s leading rose growers, the Natasha Richardson is a rose gardener’s dream come true, combining the most sought-after qualities in a single rose.

Neil Fishlock, head of horticulture at Dobbies, explained: “The flower is a true beauty. It is generous in size, pure in colour, and elegant in form. The perfume is also a marvel with its citrus base ? and very few roses are able to achieve this distinction. The Natasha Richardson is also a very easy rose to grow and to look after as its resistance to disease is excellent, giving the flower a real robustness.”

Joely Richardson, Natasha’s sister, added: "Natasha was a keen gardener and would be honoured to have a rose created in her memory. Pink was her favourite colour and so we chose this particular rose which is incredibly feminine and joyous; it captures her extreme vitality.

“Dobbies has pushed the boundaries for horticultural innovation by creating this unique rose, creating an incomparable flower to honour Natasha.

“Natasha was all about giving, and so it makes her rose especially appropriate that funds will go towards Make-A-Wish and helping others. One of her personal mantras was ‘cast your bread upon the water, it shall be returned tenfold’.”

Drama Behind American Idol Finale

All American Idol fans are aware that it has been an ongoing tradition for the previous Idol winner to present the newly crowned one with a trophy. Unfortunately Lee DeWyze was nowhere to be seen when Scotty McCreery's moment came during the recent Season 10 finale.

Lee DeWyze
Lee DeWyze

Fans instantly knew something was amiss and started to tweet Lee himself, hoping to  find out why he wasn�t there. Thankfully Lee tried to clear the air and responded via Twitter: �I was not asked to be involved in the Finale. It wasn't until about 2 minutes before they announced that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could borrow me for a second. I didn�t feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate. It was Scotty's moment.�

Earlier, producer Nigel Lythgoe stirred up the buzz surrounding the drama when he tweeted a different side of the story. "I was so upset Lee DeWyze wouldn't present the winners trophy to Scotty. Especially as he'd been on the show this Season. I guess he was shy,� he wrote.

Lee�s brother, however, wasn�t as calm about the whole incident and took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction. �American Idol producers have no respect�that is all�serious b.s.,� Michael DeWyze tweeted.

Bright and cheerful summer dresses from 1948


? Day 141 of Vintage 365 ?

 

Once long ago in a time before incessant text messaging, countless Real Housewives shows (you know, back in those days when more housewives actually lived up to their names and looked after their homes and families instead of starting cat fights for living), and Starbucks locations on every corner, a department store chain by the name of Eatons presided over Canada from coast to shining coast.

For a time Eaton's (the official name of which was the T. Eaton Co. Limited) was the largest department store chain in this country, with a history stretching all the way back to its humble Toronto roots in 1869.

During the many decades Eatons called Canada home, it was as commonplace and beloved as Sears (perhaps even more so in some parts of the country), and it produced many fine, wonderfully image rich catalogues over the years (before the chain went bankrupt around the start of the 21st century, that is).

It's from one such vintage catalogue, specifically the summer 1948 edition, that today's image originally hailed. On this bright, lively page we see three young women sporting dress styles that were popular that season.

Each one in markedly distinct from the other, and yet they all share in common similar traits, too, such as mid-calf length hems, short sleeves and vibrant colours.




 

The cotton candy pink and black dress on the left hand side telegraphs a charmingly peasant/ethnic vibe. The two piece skirt and matching blouse combo in the centre (worn by a young woman that I can't help but think resembles the modern day comedian Sarah Silverman a tad) is somewhat more formal (I could so easily imagine a young mom popping over to the weekly PTA meeting in it), yet still very summery and playful (thanks to that vivid daffodil yellow shade).

And last but not least, the third dress, with it's square shoulders and distinctive black bow at the collar, is a riot of pretty rainbow colours that instantly bring to mind a traveling carnival.

Each of these looks came it at under $6.00 and would have been relatively affordable options for Canadian women of 1948. I find something to like in all three dresses, yet I think that the chevron patterned "Gibson Girl" frock on the right, bursting with feel-good candy colours, that is my personal favourite.

While sadly Eatons department stores are no longer a part of the Canadian landscape, thanks to terrific vintage images like this catalogue page (which comes by way of Old Catalogs on Flickr) memories of this classic retailer, and a delightful dose of 1940s summertime wardrobe inspiration alike, can live on for vintage fashion lovers to draw oodles of sartorial inspiration from.

Congrats to Kim Kardashian on her engagement to boyfriend of six months, Kris Humphries, a basketball player for the New Jersey Nets!

How did he propose? Well, it was pretty romantic actually... he waited in her bedroom on one knee with "Will You Marry Me?" written in red rose petals. The 26-year-old NBA star popped the question last week to the 30-year-old reality star and placed a big 20.5-carat diamond on her finger worth US$2 million.

Word is the wedding is about to be the biggest celebrity wedding, rivalling that of the Royal Wedding! And according to a friend of Kim K, she wants it to be bigger than Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day.

Kris and Kim
Kris and Kim

Since her life is played out mostly on TV anyway, why not have the wedding ceremony aired live on the tube as well? Her mum, Kris Jenner has already confirmed that they are in talks on a TV deal.

Reports have also surfaced that claim there could be multiple weddings held around the world and hundreds of celebrity guests attending.

"I've always dreamed of a big wedding. I'll probably do something really over-the-top. Super feminine but still really modern, chic and cool, but it has to have a lot of heart, it has to be all about the family," Kim told People magazine.

But bigger than the Royal Wedding? Surely not!

Tiffany?s Twist Ring is a Copy of Kiel Mead?s Forget Me Knot

Tiffany & Co. has unveiled their Twist Ring recently as part of their Mother’s Day gift item suggestion. They define this as inspired by “the time-honored craft of hand-twisting wire” but it also looks strikingly similar to a ring that Kiel Mead, a Brooklyn based designer, has done in 2005, called the Forget Me Know ring. Mead tells Mediabistro’s Unbeige — ?My design is actually a piece of string that is molded and cast in various materials such as silver and gold. It took some trial and error to get the final product to look like my conceptualization.? He also mentions that this is not the first time his work has been redesigned and copied.

'American Idol' Non-Cap

Consider this my little one woman protest against the train wreck that American Idol has become this season.  No.  Train wrecks are interesting.  What is the dullest possible thing imaginable?  Watching paint dry is too trite.  Watching paint dry while being forced to listen to watered down versions of America's favorite country/pop/rock songs followed by inane repetitions of the words "in it to win it, "beautiful," and "doing your thing?"  That's a little more like it.  

I did something tonight that I haven't done once over ten seasons of being an avid Idol maniac.  I stopped watching.  This is huge coming from someone who once wrote a recap of how she imagined the show went down because she was out of town and had to miss the episode (This actually happened.  During Season 5).

But 8:00 came around and I had to make a choice among Idol, Modern Family, and the Bulls game.  I could only choose two.  I could've gone upstairs or something, but who can move?

I opted to just stop recording Idol.  And I feel as if a duffle bag holding the weight of Ryan Seacrest's suit budget has been lifted from my shoulders.

Will I watch the finale next week?  Probably.  But only if the Bulls aren't playing.

Reflections on 'Survivor: Redemption Island'

 

I can't seem to stop thinking or talking about the end of Survivor: Redemption Island, so I decided it was probably worth trying to organize my thoughts and continue the conversation in a post here.

Honestly, I don't think the Redemption Island twist worked well at all. The idea that someone could come back into the game was intriguing, but the way it actually played out was fairly boring and actually undermined the game.

Not having someone leave the game at the end of each episode (or at least most episodes) really wrecks the dramatic structure of the whole show. And toward the end, when people just kept getting added and added to the island and no one was leaving and no one knew what was going to happen next -- that was just frustrating. Going into the finale with eight people left in the game didn't do much for the tension, either. In theory, it should have felt like the possibilities were endless, but by the time it really happened -- BOOM, sorry Matt and the other guys, Andrea's back in, followed five minutes later by Andrea's ouster -- it just felt pointless.

When looking for a place to stay in California I came across the above rental cottage in San Francisco. It is pretty spot on with so many of the trends. I'd be up for staying in a well decorated cottage in San Francisco. I wonder who decorated this space?

Sorry some of the photos are blurry but the photos that I snagged were just too tiny. I have a request for larger photos so we'll see if my request is granted.

If you are interested in staying in this space when you go to San Francisco next then go here for the details.

Eye Candy Set of Two Rings from Louis Vuitton

This is an interpretation of that familiar Monogram flower design from Louis Vuitton. The ring features rainbow-colored strass which has been done by hand. The pieces are made into two, which looks great when worn together but also works well as separate pieces. The ring comes engraved with the LV signature and this is part of the whole Eye Candy collection. You can get this from Louis Vuitton.

Antique Filigree and Diamond Engagement Rings in White Gold

If romance is all you think about, and you want to be a true princess, you should definitely consider a filigree engagement ring. Here, we take a look at five different antique (and antique style) filigree rings. My favorites are the third and fourth, because they look so great up close and from a far. The price for these all (except the last one, which does not include the center diamond) is about $1,000.00. With filigree rings, it’s all about the detail. So make sure you pick a detailed look that you won’t mind seeing every day. For me, the first ring doesn’t have quite enough detail, and the last ring might actually have too much! It’s all about your personal preference. So get lookin’ and thinkin’ and hopefully finding your perfect dream engagement ring.

Mark Ruffalo And Ed Begley Jr To Be Honored At Celebrity Charity Event

On Saturday, June 4, Global Green USA will welcome celebrity guests to its 15th Annual Millennium Awards, which acknowledge and honor individuals whose lives and careers exemplify Global Green USA’s mission of “fostering a global value shift toward a sustainable and secure world.”

Global Green USA CEO Matt Petersen will join honorees Mark Ruffalo, Ed Begley Jr., Wendy Schmidt and the Los Angeles Business Council at the event, along with expected celebrity presenters Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christopher Guest and many more.

The event will raise funds to support the organization’s initiatives to rebuild a green New Orleans; to create green affordable housing and green schools in Los Angeles, throughout California and nationally; and to continue to advocate for innovative and effective policy initiatives to combat climate change.

Global Green USA ? the American arm of President Gorbachev's Green Cross International ? was founded in 1993, and is a national leader in advocating for smart solutions to climate change that benefit humanity by saving energy, reducing CO2 emissions, improving health, creating green jobs, and securing a more sustainable future. For more than 15 years, Global Green has greened nearly $20 billion in new school and affordable housing construction; authored multiple state and national laws and policies on green building, climate change and energy-efficiency; and responded to environmental disasters from hurricanes, to chemical weapons dumping, to sea level rise and the melting of the poles. Global Green is the only national environmental group headquartered in Southern California and has offices in New Orleans and Washington, DC.

Honorees at the 15th Annual Millennium Awards will include actor and activist Mark Ruffalo who will receive the Entertainment Industry Environmental Leadership Award. This honor recognizes Mark’s deep commitment to the environment, demonstrated through his visible dedication to the campaign to ban hydrofracking. By becoming an educated advocate and an outspoken activist on behalf of this issue and appearing before Congress, supporting the documentary GASLAND and leveraging the power of the media, he has brought national attention to an issue that threatens both the environment and public health. Mark has further personalized his crusade by starting his own foundation, Water Defense, to educate the public about the threats posed to our supply of drinking water and provide information and tools that will inspire action. By using his platform as a celebrated actor to raise awareness and hold the energy industry accountable, Mark is raising the bar for his peers in the entertainment industry and beyond.

Environmental Activist Ed Begley Jr. will receive the Individual Environmental Leadership Award. This honor recognizes Ed’s lifelong commitment to “walking the talk” of sustainability and inspiring so many activists in the Hollywood, environmental, political and business communities to follow his great example. Ed’s leadership by quiet example has helped pave the way for countless environmental celebrities and activists to follow in his footsteps and benefit from his counsel. Ed’s tireless commitment toward creating a more sustainable world is inspirational. From powering his home with 100% wind and solar to taking his bicycle to nearly every environmental event in Los Angeles to humbly utilizing his celebrity to advocate for greener policies, corporate practices and individual action, Ed is a true environmental hero and leader.

Wendy Schmidt, President of the Schmidt Family Foundation, will receive the Community Environmental Leadership Award; and the Los Angeles Business Council, represented by LABC President Mary Leslie, and Immediate Past Chairman Brad Cox, will accept the California Environmental Leadership Award.

The event takes place at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows, 101 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica. More information can be found here.
