HIMYM's News: Robin Sparkles Gets "Extremely Dirty"
After hitting the mall and building sandcastles in the sand, it's time for Robin Sparkles to boldly go where How I Met Your Mother dvd has never gone before: outer space. Time to go all out," Cobie Smulders tells us "And Robin Sparkles is out of this world. The jelly bracelets and cool graffiti coat and of course, the Robot all return on Monday's episode as more of Robin's bubblegum pop-star past is revealed with a twist. Unlike the past two Robin Sparkles episodes, which featured music videos of her catchy tunes, Chapter 3 comes in the form of a low-budget Canadian crime-solving educational program, Space Teens Robin's failed variety show that was referenced last season. Though Space Teens which also stars Robin's former BFF key tarist extraordinaire Jessica Glitter and Mother's other favorite Canadian, Alan Thicke is targeted at kids, it may need an adult-content warning. "It's extremely dirty, which is funny since in the first Robin Sparkles episode, everyone thought she was a porn star," Smulders says. " Alan Thicke is doing his prime 'creepy old man' routine. No Canadian sex acts are taught, but it's a lot of sexual innuendos, playing with the idea of two teenage girls in space with Alan Thicke. He's like the Charlie to our Charlie's Angels. We solve crimes using math, which is pretty normal.

More Arts NewsThe cause was lung cancer, said his wife, June Isaacs, who lives in Kingston, Jamaica.
Cat Coore, the guitarist and cellist for the seminal reggae band Third World, has called Mr. Isaacs “the Frank Sinatra of Jamaica” for his elegant vocal phrasing. But as the singer’s friend and former manager Don Hewitt observed, “It goes further than that, because Sinatra was not a songwriter.” army wives seasons 1-4 Mr. Isaacs’s nuanced compositions eschewed sentimental cliché and boastful machismo in favor of a sensitive, even vulnerable point of view. But on songs like “Slave Master” and “Hand Cuff,” he revealed a more militant side.
“Gregory used to sit and go through his lyrics with a dictionary,” his wife, a secondary-school teacher, said in a telephone interview. “He was very clean with his lyrical content and his grammar.” army wives dvd Born on July 15, 1950, in the rough Kingston neighborhood Denham Town, Mr. Isaacs picked up the nickname Jah Tooth after a policeman broke one of his teeth. Inspired by the American soul singer Sam Cooke, he got his start on a local radio talent show, “The Vere Johns Opportunity Hour.” He was briefly a member of the vocal trio the Concordes before making his name with the solo single “All I Have Is Love” in 1973. Although he established his own Jamaican label and record shop, African Museum, with his fellow reggae singer Errol Dunkley, Mr. Isaacs was later signed to the British labels Virgin and Island. army wives box set
While true mainstream success eluded him, few recording artists in any genre could rival his prolific output. He recorded hundreds of albums’ worth of original material, starting in the ’70s and concluding in 2008 with his final CD, “Brand New Me.”
Mr. Hewitt said of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones that when he was introduced to Mr. Isaacs, “he carried on like he’d met Jesus.”
Mr. Isaacs was best known for his 1982 release “Night Nurse,” on which he was backed by the renowned band Roots Radics, which he organized in the 1970s. His 1988 album “Red Rose for Gregory” proved that he was equally at home singing over the hard-edged digital rhythms of reggae’s dancehall era. army wives dvd box set
He was also renowned for his fashion sense; he performed in the 1978 film “Rockers” wearing a powder-blue tuxedo and black fedora. “He was always dapper,” Mrs. Isaacs said. “Very proud, very tidy, very laconic, a man of few words.”
But he could be an aggressive businessman, she added. “He always stood up for what he deserved in whichever way he could,” she said. “When it came to what was due to him, he had to get that. No ifs, no buts, no maybes.” army wives seasons dvd box set
When he and his wife were arrested for illegal possession of a firearm in 1983, she said, “he took the rap so I could go free” and served time in Kingston’s General Penitentiary. He was also arrested repeatedly for possession of cocaine and struggled with addiction for many years.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his mother, Enid Murray; a brother, Sylvester; 12 children; and a grandson. army wives seasons 1-4 box set
In a 2001 interview, Mr. Isaacs reflected on his legacy. “Look at me as a man who performed works musically,” he said. “Who uplift people who need upliftment, mentally, physically, economically — all forms. Who told the people to live with love ’cause only love can conquer war, and to understand themselves so that they can understand others.”

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen Flashes her Crowd

|
First of all, the Gossip Girl dvd star posed on the November/December cover of Revolver in a barely-there outfit and with some serious firepower, including a rifle, a handgun and a packed holster on her thigh. Now the Pretty Reckless rocker is upping the shock factor: On Thursday in New York, Momsen, 17, flashed her breasts during a concert with her band. Momsen was running her hands over her chest while singing and pulled down her ripped shirt – to briefly reveal to the crowd that she had black tape in the form of an "X" covering her most private parts. It was a dark and stormy night for Taylor Momsen and her band, The Pretty Reckless, whose video shoot for their debut single "Make Me Wanna Die" took them from the comfy indoors to a soaking Brooklyn cemetery last month. "Our shoot day was plagued by a horrible rain storm, but we still managed to venture out into the cold, wet night to film," the 16-year-old Gossip Girl dvd box set star and the band's lead singer tells us of the Meier Avis-directed video for the song, which appears on the Kick-Ass movie soundtrack. The Pretty Reckless will take the stage at the Bamboozle Music Festival on May 1 before joining the Vans Warped Tour this summer. |
