Here's Jill Scott (with George Benson) doing a really great version of Summertime very early in her career. I think she did this on a special soon after "Who is Jill Scott?" came out: youtube [I've been saying for a few years that Jill needs to play Ella Fitzgerald when they make a film of Ella's life]

I'm totally jealous that you met Patrick McGoohan, Maris, and sad that he's gone. The Prisoner is where I got my screen name (Who is number 1?).

lol Prisoner. I was a teenager and what happened was an Irish actor Jackie MCgowran had died while performing on a broadway show called "Da". The show won a tony. So the Irish community in NY wanted to hold a wake for him before his body was shipped back to Ireland and my parents were asked to host the event. Patrick McGoohan was there, David Birney, Gabrien Byrne (before he was famous - asked my sister out but parents said NO NO NO - no actors!!!) Edward Mulhare. Of course I was thrilled to meet David Birney, of Bridget and Birney fame and he also had starred in a soap opera Love is a many splendored thing. Ic an remember what he wore, a blue velvet pants suit. LOL

Glad you liked it, MB Here's a sad story: Boy George Sentenced To 15 Months In Prison HuffPost Singer Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in jail on Friday after being convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall in a London apartment. British Judge David Radford said the 47-year-old former Culture Club frontman, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was guilty of "gratuitous violence." O'Dowd's lawyer said his client and the escort had both behaved like "drug-crazed idiots" and that O'Dowd's substance abuse problems were a contributing factor. [...]

Sad for the male escort, but not for Boy George.

I guess I have sympathy for someone so talented whose life has been destroyed by drugs. YMMV.

Bummer about Boy George. I still love me some Culture Club. Jill Scott's rendition of Summertime was truly spectacular, btw.

Heath Ledger will be dead a year this next week. Hard to believe. This is a very nice tribute from some of his friends, along with photographs: Heath Ledger

J-Lo says she didn't wear her wedding rings to the Golden Globes because they don't go with the dress. Uh huh. She is SO getting a divorce (and working the paps as hard as she can before she files) I'm happy FOR REALS

Yes, I always wonder whether my 5000 carat diamond ring and wheel-barrow to carry it with will clash with my gold g-string. Maybe they don't allow wheel-barrows on the red carpet or something.

Heh. Yepper, teh gold thong-thong-thong-thong-thong and teh Diamonds are a girl's best friend are a match made in heaven, but a platinum g-string will do in a pinch. (Is there a g-string song I don't know?)
