OASIS' LIAM GALLAGHER TELLS US TO FOCK OFF AND CALLS US LITTLE CUNTS!

Liam Gallagher has vowed never to rejoin his brother Noel for an Oasis reunion - and has told fans of the defunct band to "get over it".The Wonderwall hitmakers split in 2009 after a series of bust-ups between guitarist Noel and his singing sibling culminated in a showdown backstage at a gig in Paris, France.Liam went on to form new group Beady Eye with his remaining Oasis bandmates - and he's now ruled out ever returning to his roots for a reunion, despite former mentor Alan McGee's insistence the Britpop band will reform.

He tells Mojo magazine, "(McGee is) wrong isn't he? And a couple of little c**ts moaning on the f**king internet going, 'Oh it isn't f**king Oasis,' aren't going to bother me. They're going to make themselves f**king sick if they don't get over it."It's like wanting your girlfriend back after she's f**ked you off. You'll end up getting yourself ill. They're not going to get me knocking on someone's door saying, 'Come on let's get back together'. It's done, mate. We had a great time. Beady Eye is where we are now... Get rid of all the Oasis songs and just bathe ourselves in Beady Eye."

But the British singer admits he might be forced to perform some of his songs from his days in Oasis if fans at his upcoming Beady Eye concerts don't like his new tracks.He adds, "The way we see it is that we're Beady Eye and I think it's time for people to get acquainted with us. But somewhere down the line if it goes pear-shaped and we have to play Oasis, I definitely won't be playing Noel's songs, I'll be playing my own."

SERGIO MENDES HITS Toronto for a big Concert June 28!

Sérgio Santos Mendes, is a Grammy Award-winning Brazilian musician. The child of a physician in Niterói, Brazil, Mendes attended the local conservatory with hopes of becoming a classical pianist. As his interest in jazz grew, he started playing in nightclubs in the late-1950s just as bossa nova, a jazz-inflected derivative of samba, was taking off. Mendes played with Antonio Carlos Jobim (regarded as a mentor) and many U.S. jazz musicians who toured Brazil.

I particularly LOVED his album TIMELESS that featured a wide array of neo-soul and alternative hip hop guest artists, most prominently will.i.am and The Black Eyed Peas. It was released February 14, 2006 by Concord Records. It features The Black Eyed Peas, Erykah Badu, Black Thought, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, India.Arie, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Q-Tip, Stevie Wonder and Pharoahe Monch. I plan to talk to Mendes when he gets to town about the influence of hip-hop and his upcoming music CD. Below is the Press release from Universal Music......Thanx Kevin!


Brown Eyes Entertainment in association with GLGG proudly present the return of bossa nova legend Sergio Mendes to Toronto on Saturday, June 28, 2008 at The Music Hall. Mendes will showcase some of his classic interpretations of the Brazilian songwriting tradition with a vivid display of the exciting, modern approach taken on his forthcoming release Encanto (Enchantment).

Sergio Mendes is arguably the most internationally successful Brazilian music artist of all time. Having started his career as a professional musician in the late 1950s, Mendes was soon appearing alongside the likes of bossa nova music royalty Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz and João Gilberto at Rio clubs. With both musician and arrangement credits on recordings for the heavyweights, Mendes in turn fused Brazilian, jazz and American popular styles becoming a respected artist and innovator in his own right, and his US-based group Brasil '66 rapidly became known for their unique, innovative sound. Their first four albums charted and assured them of international fame with hits like "Mas Que Nada" (1966), "The Look of Love" (1967) and "Pretty World" (1969). After several releases for a variety of big labels in the 70s and for much of the 80s and 90s, he continued to tour and record, achieving great international acclaim and licensing deals; he also continued to brilliantly fuse bossa nova with Bahian hip-hop and American pop, and was even featured in the popular television series Seinfeld.

Fast forwarding through the maestro's illustrious career to 2006, Mendes (already famous for collaborations and bossa fusions with American producers from Herb Alpert to Stevie Wonder) then partners up with Black Eyed Peas producer Will-I-Am to thrill his legions of older fans and garner many new younger enthusiasts with the Latin Grammy Award-winning album Timeless. His upcoming (June 10) release Encanto (Enchantment) will be Mendes' 39th album. In its creation, Sergio made a trip around the world, recording in Rio, Bahia and LA, and again he enlisted several multinational guest musicians including Latin superstar Juanes from Colombia, the multi-talented Carlinhos Brown and Vanessa da Mata from Brazil, Belgium's Zap Mama as well as American stars like Fergie, Natalie Cole, Herb Alpert and his wife, original Brasil '66 singer, Lani Hall. The collection exalts Sergio's singular blend of infectious rhythms and irresistible melodies from the great Brazilian canon, with his always thoroughly modern arrangements, sensual touch and masterful production approach.

One element unifies all the songs on Encanto (Enchantment) and that is the joy that can be heard in the voices of Mendes' collaborators. No matter what country, demographic or genre they belong to, they are all thrilled to record with the maestro, which speaks volumes about the timeless appeal of Sergio's unique style.

Please join us on Saturday, June 28th to experience why this man is hailed as a lifelong ambassador and true maestro of the Brazilian canon…

Jennifer Hudson to perform at the "Halle Berry Silver Rose Gala" this month.

Academy Award winning actress Halle Berry is proud to welcome her friend and colleague Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Hudson to bring a show stopping performance at the annual Silver Rose Gala and Auction, benefiting the Jenesse Center. Karen Earl, Executive Director Jenesse Center said, "It is thrilling to have Ms. Hudson join our event lineup. She is a true supporter of our work in healing families in crisis."

The annual Silver Rose Gala and Auction will be hosted at the Beverly Hills Hotel & Bungalows, Sunday, April 27th at 12 noon. The event's star studded lineup also features Jay Leno, Emmy Award winning host of NBC's top rated "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", as this year's official auctioneer. I guess this will be Halle's first outing since the birth of Nahla.

Whoa! Rihanna BEATS Beyonce in singing competition!

Check out this French look-alike celebrity singer contest. The Rihanna lookalike BEAT the Beyonce one. Ain't that the truth? Now that Beyonce is married, looks like it's Rihanna's turn to steal the spotlight and Beyonce start having the babies. Enjoy it. Hey, you Canadian French visitors to my site from Montreal and Quebec. Better translate this entire video for me. I speak some French but not that much.

Yawn! India Arie explains her absence at the Grammys.

Like anyone even noticed, Atlanta singer-songwriter India Arie was up for best R&B song this year, but instead of attending the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, she boycotted. That's right, the two-time Grammy winner with more than a dozen nominations since 2002 stayed on her sofa in Stone Mountain, laughing, yelling and cheering at the TV like any other uninvited music fan. Sonia Murray of the AJC spoke to her

50th Grammy Wrap up: Herbie Hancock was the BIGGEST WINNER!

He said it's been 43 years a jazz album was nominated in the album of the year category with all these popular categories. That was what he told Juliana Depandi on the red carpet......but he had faith with Amy, Kanye, Foo fighters and more in the same category! Herbie was shocked! Congrats!

Timbaland curses up at pre-Grammy party!

People's all-star, pre-Grammy concert with Timbaland ended with a resounding crash Saturday morning (Feb. 9), when the producer/rapper delivered a foul-mouthed tirade against the magazine because some of his friends were apparently left outside the venue.

Diddy signs Janelle Monae to Bad Boy Entertainment.

A Warner Brothers representative confirmed that Janelle Monae is the latest addition to the Bad Boy Entertainment roster. Monae was first discovered at Kim Porter’s ‘Three Brown Girls’ open mic night at Justin’s in Atlanta and created a fan base within Historically Black Colleges & University communities.

Foxy Brown DENIED medical request!

A judge has denied Foxy Brown's request to get out of jail early so she can go to California for an ear examination and for repair of an electronic ear implant. State Supreme Court Justice Melissa Jackson ruled Thursday that the singer will not let Brown go to Los Angeles' House Clinic for the exam and repair of a defective cochlear implant, the Manhattan district attorney's office reported Monday. Brown, 29, revealed her hearing problems during a court appearance in 2004. Her petition to Jackson said that her condition was worsening in jail and that she faced serious harm to her hearing unless she had the cochlear implant reprogrammed and repaired. All this preferential treatment for some celebs and some get none! That is a medical issue.
