Jack White Apologizes For Putting Down Other Artists

Rebecca Murray

June 2, 2014

Jack White Apologizes — Jack White Lazaretto album cover

Adele, Lana Del Rey, Meg White, and The Black Keys were targets of some of Jack White’s remarks in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. Still, now the musician is attempting to unruffle some feathers with a statement clarifying some of what he said during the interview.

After explaining how he believed he has been forced into discussing matters he’d rather have kept private because of legal action and the release of some of his private correspondence, White stated:

“There are a lot of things that only people around me can know about or understand, but despite all of that I want to say this: I wish the band the Black Keys all the success that they can get. I hope the best for their record label Nonesuch who has such a proud history in music, and in their efforts to bring the Black Keys songs to the world. I hope for massive success also for their producer and songwriter Danger Mouse and for the other musicians that their band employs. Lord knows that I can tell you myself how hard it is to get people to pay attention to a two piece band with a plastic guitar, so any attention that the Black Keys can get in this world I wish it for them, and I hope their record stays in the top ten for many months and they have many more successful albums in their career.”

White also said that rather than give a ‘no comment’ response to some of Rolling Stone’s questions, he tried to answer the questions they asked, but his answers were “the type of comments that are to be made to producers, engineers, and managers who thoroughly understand the behind-the-scenes of what we do all day long. I should’ve been smarter to know that it would be pointless to use comparisons like I did to readers who most likely don’t understand the scenario and that my words would seem very negative in nature. That’s not me trying to sound like I’m above anyone, it was just ‘shop talk’ and it sounded a lot more negative than it was meant to.”

White went on to apologize to those he had offended. “I wish no slight to the talents of Winehouse, Duffy, Lana del Rey, and Adele. All of whom are wonderful performers with amazing voices. I have their records and I hope for more success for them all as the years go on. They deserve all they’ve gotten. And, I also would love to state that I personally find it inspiring to have powerful, positive female voices speaking out and creating at all times in the mainstream, and all of those singers do just that, so I thank them.”

The CW’s Set to Premiere the New Reality Series ‘Famous in 12’

Rebecca Murray

June 2, 2014

The CW will be launching the new series Famous in 12 on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT. The series, executive produced by TMZ‘ Harvey Levin along with Naked and Afraid‘s David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe, is described as an “unscripted series/social experiment” that follows one fame-seeking family for 24 hours a day over the course of 12 consecutive weeks.

Famous in 12 Details [Courtesy of The CW]

There is a family in the U.S. that has what it takes to become famous. The question is: can they pull it off in 12 weeks? That’s the challenge in the new unscripted series Famous in 12, a unique social experiment that tracks the lives of one determined family as they move to the entertainment capital of the world — Los Angeles — and seek fame while being filmed around the clock for 12 weeks straight. Focusing on one family, Famous in 12 will pull back the curtain to reveal how the fame machine operates.

Members of the family all have unique talents, and they will be guided by the TMZ machine, which will create a series of opportunities for them. TMZ and Harvey Levin will help, and additional experts will be brought in throughout the course of the series to provide input and guidance on the path to fame, but it is up to the family to pull it off. Throughout their 12-week quest, the family will circulate through some of Los Angeles’ most populated – and popular – venues in order to seize opportunities that might come calling.

Family members will also utilize all forms of social media to wage a “fame campaign.” They will be constantly tracked via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to build their social media profiles. This information will be analyzed by the show’s “Star Power Meter” each week to determine the standing of the individual family members. This real time approach to the show will enable the audience and family members to interact in a new way – fans will be directly affecting story and cast behavior week to week.

‘Annie’ Unveils a New Trailer with Less Music, More Backstory

Rebecca Murray

May 30, 2014

The new trailer for the musical Annie is less about the music central to the film’s story as it is about showcasing the characters. Coming to theaters on December 19, 2014, this contemporary version of Annie stars Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhané Wallis, Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne, and Bobby Cannavale, and was co-written and directed by Will Gluck.

The Plot:

Academy Award nominee Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) stars as Annie, a young, happy foster kid who’s also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they’d be back for her someday, it’s been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz).

But everything’s about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) – advised by his brilliant VP, Grace (Rose Byrne) and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy (Bobby Cannavale) – makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he’s her guardian angel, but Annie’s self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it’s the other way around.
