Hollywood LEGEND Doris Day WINS Lifetime Achievement Award from LA Film Critics

October 29th, 2011

CEO

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

With true happiness I report that Hollywood Legend and one of the most gifted female singers of all-time; Doris Day is the proud recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from LA Film Critics. In her 87th year on Planet Earth, she has not been in the limelight much other than her constant support of dogs around the world through her charity.

I have always said she was a extremely underrated actress and to see just two amazing performances amongst many, watch her in the 1955 movie Love Me Or Leave Me opposite leading man James Cagney where she played singer Ruth Etting or in the 1954 movie, Young At Heart, opposite Frank Sinatra.

Legalized Casino Gambling: Coming to Your Back Yard

October 28th, 2011

CEO

By Geno McGahee

The war to bring casino gambling to Massachusetts has been decided it seems. The gamblers will get their way and the slots, tables, and sporting events will invade three locations yet to be determined. The neighboring Connecticut has been getting many Massachusetts residents invading due to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, two very popular casinos, and all of that money has been going with them, but that will soon change.

Bingo and the lottery has been a staple in the state and many have been a fan of cash bingo games, turning a buck with their lucky numbers. The love of the game of Bingo has stretched across generations and will not be a stranger to the casinos coming to the state. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods and Las Vegas have all featured Bingo as one of their games included on the roster, and many of the Bingo halls may be out of business when the casinos roll in.

CEO

It’s been five years since the release of Nils Lofgren’s last studio album featuring his own songs and, with his forthcoming release titled, Old School, he’s got something to say.

An effort that’s been in the works since the culmination of Springsteen’s Working on a Dream Tour in November of 2009, Lofgren’s Old School covers a variety of topics including desperation, self-doubt, true love, departed friends, holding on to your dreams and the world gone mad… along with a tribute to the late, great Ray Charles.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) – MOVIE REVIEW

October 26th, 2011

CEO

By Geno McGahee

I have always considered HALLOWEEN one of the best horror movies of all time and the strongest series of horror flicks, better as a whole than the other big two: FRIDAY THE 13TH and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, and when Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) was returning, I initially was excited. I saw the trailer where she came face to face with Michael Myers and they played that familiar music that is synonymous with the series, you couldn’t help but to be optimistic.

The first problem with H20 is the fact that John Carpenter had nothing to do with it. He declined the offer to write it, which brought in Robert Zappia, who wrote on episode of that great show HOME IMPROVEMENT. I hope you can sense the sarcasm. I hated that show. I like Tim Allen….he’s rather funny in the movies, especially WILD HOGS, but that show was horrible and now they brought in a guy that wrote one episode to write such an important movie? Jeez.

Will SMITH – Jada Pinkett SMITH SPLITTING UP IS A PUBLICITY STUNT: HOLLYWOOD INSIDER TELLS ALL

October 26th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

Over the last month, the internet has been crawling with stories on the possible breakup of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Well, I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine who works at the William Morris Agency who knows the team behind them.

“Steve” as I will call him let me know it was an elaborate PR stunt to help Jada out because as you all know, her popular show HAWTHRONE was just canceled. It keeps her name fresh in the public and studios eyes to either get her in a big movie or hit show right away, which in my years as a Talent Agent is brilliant. She is a very talented young lady.

Regis Philbin – THE REAL STORY ON WHY HE IS LEAVING LIVE! WITH REGIS AND KELLY

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

Over the Labor Day weekend I flew out to California to stay with some close friends from my old Hollywood Days. My dear/close friends Aldo Obarhagen and his wife Dolly, were top consultants for the I Love Lucy Show and years later, they worked on The Joey Bishop Show from 1967 – 1969. On Joey’s talk show, is where they met his sidekick Regis Philbin. I can remember when Aldo took me on the set when Joey had on Dean Martin and he had me in stitches calling me Pally. The likes of Martin’s talent will never be seen again. I have always felt he was much more talented and funnier than Jerry Lewis .

Michael Jackson’s FAMILY QUEST for MONEY and LIMELIGHT: FORMER ASSOCIATE Gives his THOUGHTS

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

Last month was the 9/11 tenth anniversary, and I want to extend my utmost heartfelt wishes to all the families of loved ones lost to continue with the healing process. It was a tragic day that we will never forget. As I sat glued to my TV watching many of the amazing stories about behind the scenes heroes, I saw a separate news story on Jermaine Jackson taking to the airwaves that during his brother Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial he, along with other family members, had devised a plan to get Michael out of the country if he had been found guilty.

First of all, who knows if this is true, but it seems that several of the Jackson family members have tried to turn a buck on their dead brothers name and it’s getting disgusting. It always seems that either Joe his father, or Jermaine his brother are the main ones. Janet Jackson has shied far away from this nonsense which I think is a smart move and I am not surprised by it.

Tony Bennett DUETS II: Amy Winehouse – Billie Holiday Music CONNECTION

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

In the late 1950’s, as I have mentioned before I worked for Errol Flynn who seemed to know everyone in the business from movie stars – to music stars. None were bigger and more talented than the late Billie Holiday. “LADY DAY” as she was known in the music world had a voice that was just amazing. To test my theory, pick up what I think is her greatest work on a Columbia album (I still say album, but I know this generation says CD) called LADY IN SATIN. One track amongst many that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up is YOU’VE CHANGED.

It was around 1956, and Errol had just finished shooting ISTANBUL that actually did decent box office returns and had the late/great Nat King Cole as his co-star who sang WHEN I FALL IN LOVE which was a smash hit for him. I was unable to go with Errol to shoot the movie even though he really wanted me too. I was stuck back in New York working a deal for Marlon Brando to star in SAYNORA which earned Red Buttons an Oscar of all people. Marlon always told me he loved that Red received that Oscar.

Charlie Sheen LAWSUIT DETAILS: INSIGHTS FROM HOLLYWOOD INSIDER

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

Hello NewzBreaker readers… Sorry of my absence of columns as of late, but I had a medical procedure done. When you are in your late 70′s like I am, it takes longer to recover. I have been reading so much lately on Charlie Sheen because I was confined to my hospital room at Mount Sinai Hospital on Miami Beach. Great staff, but horrible food…. I am home now and thanks to many of your NewzBreaker emails for letting me know you enjoyed my columns. Your words are appreciated and always welcomed.

In 1985, I met Oliver Stone who had come to fame off his work in writing the screenplay for Al Pacino’s Scarface at a party through a producer buddy of mine name Al Ruddy who produced The Godfather amongst many other big productions. Oliver, and I hit off right away and we sat for hours talking about old Hollywood where he asked me repeated questions which I was full of stories to tell. Before the end of the night was out, Stone invited me to the set of his first really big movie he directed (he did others before like The Hand with Michael Caine), but none was a big budget as Platoon.

Tony Bennett SHOCKS THE MUSIC WORLD: Hollywood INSIDER DISCUSSES First MEETING

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

Today, as I sit on my lawn chair in the backyard and have my breakfast, I can see out onto the Biscayne Bay which is beautiful and serene. As I fired up my laptop and checked my email, I had one from an old chum who still lives back in Hollywood named Billy Braverman. Billy and I did some work to help the late Tyrone Power get the role in the 1957 movie Witness for the Prosecution which also starred the late Charles Laughton. It was a great movie and yielded outstanding performances from both actors. I had actually met Power in an elevator a few years before in Jacksonville, FL when I was in town scouting some locations for a movie that slips me at this time. I immediately recognized him and we chatted for a few and had mutual chums we both were friendly with.

Ashton KUTCHER – Demi MOORE Hollywood Marital PROBLEMS: Hollywood INSIDER BREAKS SILENCE

October 25th, 2011

CEO

By Danny Allen

So today’s news is dominated by the recent information that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are breaking up after several years of marriage. Is this true or a publicity stunt to get Demi’s career back on track? What we have here is the old movie STAR IS BORN storyline. However, instead of the female lead becoming the star, and the male lead becoming an ex-star, you have the opposite with Ashton Kutcher’s star reaching the stratosphere with his recent signing to replace Charlie Sheen on TWO AND A HALF MEN and Demi’s falling faster than quicksand for the time being.
