New Music Friday – Right The Stars

Expressing the complexities of human emotions mixed with transcendent pop rhythms all his own is what singer/songwriter Rich Jacques does best through “Right The Stars,” the band name under which he records and performs. He grew up in Wisconsin, seeing California on TV and wondering why he was living in the freezing cold. In 2000, Jacques moved to Los Angeles and decided to take a break from music, only to end up right back with what he loves most but in a different form. He became a music teacher, taking on students young and old, one of which was Ben Affleck.
Two years later, he returned to the stage with Chantal Kreviazuk, a singer/songwriter with whom he toured and opened for Jason Mraz and appeared in The Tonight Show and the Craig Kilborn Show. Eager to expand his relationship with music, he made the move to production in 2006 and has since collaborated with artists like Kina Grannis, Rob Giles and Joey Fatone in his Hollywood studio, The White Room. Today, Jacques produces music for artists as well as TV and film and is releasing a self-titled album as Right The Stars. The CD includes unpretentious tunes and totally relatable realizations (she could not be anybody different and I could never change the way I am, – “Let Go of Her Hand”) as well as heartbreaking personal confessions (and I don’t know the reason but then pleasin’ people’s all I really know, – “South Indian Monkey Trap”). His songs range from the deep and intricate “Making Deals with God” to the frustration of a relationship in “Time”, a title featured in the movie “The Break Up,” and the simple, playful and upbeat “We Got It All”, written for movie “Couples Retreat.”
Right The Stars songs have found their way onto a number of TV shows and movies. Recently, they were heard on “One Tree Hill” and will soon be heard in the new Brooke Shields and Brendan Frasier movie called “Furry Vengeance.” You can listen to the song “We Got It All” above.
Andre Agassi Admits Crystal Meth Use
October 28, 2009 By 1 Comment
Eight-time tennis grand slam winner Andre Agassi has admitted using crystal meth and lying to men’s governing body to escape a ban in the sport in his new memoir titled “Open.” People magazine and Sports Illustrated will run pieces this week from the book ahead of its November 9th release date, but a few details have already been leaked, such as being introduced to the drug by his then-assistant when he was having doubts about his upcoming marriage to Brooke Shields.
Per Lincoln Tribune:
“Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I’ve just crossed,” Agassi, now 39, was quoted as saying. “There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful — and I’ve never felt such energy.”
Agassi goes on to talk about a time in 1997 when he received a phone call from the doctor working for the ATP, informing him that he failed a drug test for the class 2 recreational drug which would have guaranteed him a 3-month ban. Thinking quickly, he came up with a lie saying he accidentally drank out of a glass spiked with the drug that belonged to his drug-addicted assistant.
Per Lincoln Tribune:
“My name, my career, everything is now on the line. Whatever I’ve achieved, whatever I’ve worked for, might soon mean nothing. Days later I sit in a hard-backed chair, a legal pad in my lap, and write a letter to the ATP. It’s filled with lies interwoven with bits of truth,” Agassi said. “I feel ashamed, of course. I promise myself that this lie is the end of it,” Agassi recalls saying.
Interesting enough, the sports controlling body took his word for it and never made an investigation into Agassi or his claims. You can bet they will most likely now be pressed into the reasons why they accepted his explanation without questions. In addition to drug use, “Open” also talks about his hair loss, troubled marriage to Shields, and eventually meeting his current wife Steffi Graf. Uncool, Andre. Very uncool. I’m really disappointed that he would choose to sell out like this. If he really wanted to share the meth story to help people or whatever reason he gives, he didn’t have to do it in effort to make a profit. It’s trashy.

Brooke Shields Nude Photos Brings the Cops
October 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A very controversial nude picture of Brooke Shields taken when she was just a young 10 years old has been removed from an exhibitions at London’s Tate Modern after police visited the museum. Raising concerns after some deemed it pornographic, it was removed after a police investigation. The police are currently trying to figure out if the picture breaks child porn laws over there.
Per People:
“The officers have specialist experience in this field and are keen to work with gallery management to ensure that they do not inadvertently break the law or cause any offense to their visitors,” a Scotland Yard spokesman said, confirming the Wednesday visit by the Obscene Publications Unit.
Artist Richard Prince’s image is of a photo taken in 1975 by Garry Gross with the permission of her mother, Teri Shields, who immediately signed her rights to the picture away. The image shows Shields from the knees up wearing heavy makeup, covered in oil, and standing naked in a bathtub. Children’s rights advocates were extremely upset when they learned the photo might be part of the London art show, “Pop Life: Art in a Material World”. They state that the image could act as a “magnet for pedophiles.” Gross he never considered the photo pornographic but acknowledges that “she was supposed to look like a sexy woman.”
Per OMG:
“The photo has been infamous from the day I took it and I intended it to be,” Gross told the paper, adding he was “disappointed but not surprised” with the authorities decision.
Jack Bankowsky, co-curator of the exhibit, previously said that he had hoped controversy over the photo’s subject matter would not overshadow the artistic interest of the work. Scheduled to open today in London, the room containing the portrait has been reportedly closed off. It is unknown at this time if the photograph will go on display.
Shields attempted to buy back the negatives of the 1975 photograph in 1981 but a judge ruled that she was a “hapless victim of a contract… to which two grasping adults bound her.” Shields career was managed by her mother at that time, who also allowed her to play a child who lived in a brothel in the 1978 film “Pretty Baby,” which included several nude scenes for the actress who was only 11 years old at the time. As a mother I can’t ever imagine putting my daughter in some strange situation like that. Art – Really? And what supposedly was supposed to be the “intent” behind that picture? A mother is supposed to protect their children, not pimp them out.

Kiefer Sutherland Defends Brooke Shields And Breaks A Nose
May 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment
The biggest news to come out of the MET Costume Gala Monday night wasn’t Rhianna’s D&G suit, or Anne Hathaway’s FemmeBot hair-do. Instead of what people were wearing, the buzz is all about Brooke Shields, Jack Bauer, and a broken designer nose. Say what?
According to various reports today, while at an after party at SubMercer, Kiefer Sutherland witnessed Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough knock sometimes actress Brooke Shields to the floor. Channeling his inner knight-in-shining-armon, Sutherland approached McCollough and demanded he apologize. That’s why the boo-boo hit the fan…or the head hit the nose.
Via Guest of a Guest:
“The REAL talk of the town belongs to a certain fight that broke out at SubMercer. Apparently that’s where Kiefer Sutherland HEAD BUTTED Jack McCollough so hard that he BROKE the designer’s nose!”
Whereas you and I would be flattered to have someone defend our honor, apparently Brooke doesn’t want to be left off the swag list of Proenza Schouler. Her people are denying that there was any altercation between her and McCollough.
Via TMZ:
“Shields’ reps tell TMZ the man Kiefer headbutted Monday night in no way did anything to Brooke that would have warranted the alleged attack.”
There has been no report as to whether or not Sutherland was acting under the influence of alcohol. The actor is known for his many trips to rehab. I would like to believe that he was merely acting out a scene from next season’s “24” where Jack Bauer headbutts both Fiorentini + Baker and steals me the Eternity Boots in gray suade. I can dream, right?

Brooke Shields Insists Lipstick Jungle is NOT Cancelled
November 17, 2008 By Leave a Comment
The beheading of several tv shows are in the works. As mentioned, “My Own Worst Enemy” has already met it’s end as well as a slew of other shows on the chopping block. “Lipstick Jungle” has been circling the drain for awhile as viewership plummets. But Brooke Shields is adamant that she is still working.
“They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it’s not true. They’re not breaking down the sets,” she added. “We’re still working. We still have more to do, so it’s erroneously presented that we’ve been canceled, thank God. Our bosses are saying, ‘You’re not canceled, don’t worry. We’re just trying to figure out how to make this make sense.’”
Shields blames the issue on DVRs. Huh?
“I actually am,” Shields said. “I mean, we’re basically No. 1 if you look at DVR. And you look at all that. So the public is watching it. The problem that they have is it’s not the same day live,” she continued. “They just need to figure out how to reconcile advertisers’ money because the advertisers don’t want you fast forwarding commercials.”
Hmmmm…BWHAHAHAH!!! That is just sad really. I mean poor girl. Yeah, we will go with the most magnificent invention being the cause of the problem. Sure honey. You keep marching in that parade.
