Jessie J 'Who You Are' Live at the Summertime Ball London. Raw Video!

Jessie J was at the Captial FM Summer Time Ball last night held at Wembley Stadium and performed “Who You Are” live at this live music spectacular. She had some serious problems with her foot earlier where she had to get it treated prior to the event but told the 75000 strong audience “I fell off the stage and mashed up my foot – I ruptured all tendons in it” She carried on performing regardless and managed to get up at one stage proving the old saying “the show must go on”. Raw video of her performance below complete with bandage!.

Nicole Scherzinger Live

The Capital Radio Summer Time Ball was held last night in London at Wembley Stadium. Sounds like one of those posh dance off events where everybody does the Fox Trot but this is a big live music event backed by Capital Radio and it does have some names here.

Headliners we would say was the double diva battle of Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger they seemed to dominate,  and both TV talent show judges as well!. It was noted both were wearing knee length boots at arrivals but one was in all white (Jennifer Lopez) and one was in all black (Nicole Scherzinger). A face off if ever there was?

 Nicole Scherzinger did a live set including her two recent UK hit singles Poison and Right There, her No. 1 Don’t Hold Your Breath and also a song from her former Pussycat Dolls days from 2005 called Don’t Cha all backed by male dancers to set her off..

Jennifer Lopez wasn’t having none of it though and she ripped up the stage with tracks including her No. 1 hit Get Right, as well as classics Waiting For Tonight and Jenny From The Block. She then blasted out her most recent single I’m Into You  and then did a quick change to bash out her last song her No. 1 hit On The Floor. Her set was one one more song in length than Nicole but Nicole grabs the headline for us.
 
Other names at the event included Enrique Iglesias, JLS, Ne Yo, Katy B and not forgetting Jessie J who still managed to perform after a rumoured recent foot injury.

Kasabian Live

Kasabian Live

The Isle of Wight Festival was held over the weekend at Seaclose Park, Newport, now in its 10th year and this pulls in some big names in the music biz  which means it pulls in the crowds with an estimated 70,000 attending this year despite the weather . Big  names including current and some blasts from the past were the headliners .  Kasabian, Pulp, Kings of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs, Foo Fighters, The Courteeneers, Manic Street Preachers Plan B, Mike and the Mechanics, Stu Walsh, James Collins and Pixie Lott (in hot pants) and more. Not forgetting Liam Gallagher, Tom Jones and Iggy Pop. The list went on.

Decided to give this a miss as festivals as good as they are  can be endurance tests at the best of times and with torrential rain forecast  it chucked it down on the last day, the wise and seasoned festival goers stayed at home including moi! There will be other events later this year such as V Festival, Reading and Glastonbury to name a few and they are nearer.!

Jim Carrey and the Premiere of "Mr. Popper's Penguins". LA!

Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey

The Premiere Of 20th Century Fox’s “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” was held last night at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. A certain actor by the name of Jim Carrey with extremely hilarious tendencies was at the event. He’s something else and that’s putting it mildly. Love this guy!

Mr Poppers Penguins Arrivals Photos

Other guests included Carla Gugino, Orphella Lovibond and Dick Van Dyke doing some Jack Black antics. An intriguing title to say the least for this latest outing which is billed as an action comedy, lets see what it’s all about?

 The Details:

Directed by Mark Waters Mr. Tom Popper (Jim Carrey) is a divorced driven businessman who is clueless when it comes to the important things in life—until he inherits six penguins. Popper’s penguins turn his New York apartment into a snowy winter wonderland—and the rest of his life upside-down. Filmed on a refrigerated sound stage with real Gentoo penguins, Mr. Popper’s Penguins is a contemporary, loose adaptation of the classic book. Courtesy Wiki

Sounds a scream and right up Jim Carreys street.

The 65th Tony Awards New York. Photos and Winners!

The Tony Award

The Tony Award

The Tony Awards now in its 65th year were held last night and this event is a celebration and rewarding  of  live Broadway theatre. This year it was held at the Beacon Theatre in New York but last year and going right back to 1997 it was held at the infamous New York landmark Radio City Hall. The awards are given for Broadway productions and performances, and an award is given also for regional theatre. It’s a US thespian sort of thing! The Book of Mormon seemed to be doing particularly well at this event.
