Concert Review by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
“For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. He excites me when I watch him. He moves me. He’s the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more.” – Frank Sinatra
Last year for the second time in my 42 years on Planet Earth, I saw the Legend Tony Bennett perform live. The first time was some 17 years ago at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia Maryland. Well, at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts in front of a sold out audience, Valarie and I sat amongst the old, young, black and white that were united by one thing which we all shared and that was our love for Tony Bennett’s music. Opening up for Tony was his daughter Antonia, a songster in her own right, who sang classics from the “GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK” and warmed up the crowd with a great interpretation of a lyric and voice to go with it. After a few songs, she exited the stage and the announcer said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Tony Bennett.”

This past Friday, Bonnie Pointer formerly of The Pointer Sisters and later, a solo career in the music industry was in a vehicle that was pulled over by police because of faulty equipment.
E! News reported that Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told them that the 61-year-old Pointer was a passenger in a car with two other people when the vehicle was stopped shortly after midnight for a bad brake light.
Officers peeked inside the car and turned up what they believed to be “rock cocaine,” added Whitmore. Pointer was released on a $10,000 dollar bond.
It’s no secret that Showtime’s DEXTER starring Michael C. Hall, is my favorite show on TV today. Well, Showtime has delighted millions of fans of the show by renewing it for Season 7 by inking a deal that has Hall very happy from all reports.
Shooting will start soon for the seventh season in LA.
Season-to-date, “Dexter” is averaging 5.1 million viewers, a figure that takes into account On Demand, repeats and DVR viewership. So far, it’s the shows best season yet….
NewzBreaker congratulates the entire talented case of DEXTER for getting picked up for season 7……. Watch out Bad PEOPLE……..
Actress Natalie Wood who died over 30 years ago by drowning in the Pacific Ocean under suspicious circumstances has had her death case reopened by the Los Angeles police who believe they have enough information to reopen the investigation into her death, reports CBS-2 TV in Los Angeles.
Information about the case will be put out a press conference later today in Los Angeles. The Sheriff’s Homicide Detectives said they decided to look into the case again because they were recently contacted by “persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning.”
The Oscar Show has been top story for days since they fired Brett Ratner for a comment about gays that also led Eddie Murphy to drop out of hosting the 2012 Oscars and Billy Crystal stepping in.
However, this past Saturday at its third annual Governors Awards the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded both Oprah Winfrey and James Earl Jones honorary Oscars.
NewzBreaker congratulates both Winfrey and Jones on their Oscars which are well deserved.
Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to the hospital a few days ago when the 94-year-old actress was taken by ambulance to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after her feeding tube became loose. In recent months, Gabor has been in and out of the hospital, but is a true fighter in every sense of the word.
NewzBreaker wishes her a speedy recovery…
The organizers of the Oscars decided yesterday that since Eddie Murhpy dropped out of hosting next year’s awards show, they were bringing back fan favorite Billy Crystal to take over the emcee duties.
It seems interesting timing for Murphy to decide to withdraw with a movie (TOWER HEIST) coming out today in theaters. Murphy, has been headlines for two days and no doubt, this helps the box office returns.
