Actress Tish Linendoll Joins Elite List of Hollywood’s Most Compassionate Celebrities

$

Tish Linendoll is known as one of the most alluring up and coming actresses in Hollywood, but she is more than simply another pretty face on the big screen.  Linendoll has graced the covers of Maxim and Playboy South Africa, FHM Spain, and Lifestyle for Men.  She has been featured in dozens of top magazines and brands including Sports Illustrated, GQ, and Esquire.  She plays memorable roles in some of Hollywood’s hottest indie films and popular television shows, is a Taekwondo black belt, and award-recognized musician and writer.  With this kind of work schedule, it would seem impossible to add “activism” to the roster, but somehow the multi-talented, compassionate star finds time to volunteer her time at animal shelters between Miami, Dallas and L.A.

 

“I feel having compassion for other people and animals is one of life’s greatest values  ,” says Linendoll.  “If my role in the public eye can help reveal, and stop the suffering of even one sentient being that would mean so much to me.” 

Tish Linendoll is not alone in her passion to help animals. Several of Hollywood’s A-List Stars take time to help protect our planet’s creatures.  Angelina Jolie, Ellen Degeneres, Ian Somerhalder, Ke$ha, Betty White, and Ryan Gosling are part of this growing group of Animal Rights Heroes. 

“It’s important to speak up, and do what we can to help the voiceless,” said Linendoll.  She regularly works with the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to protect animals in between acting and modeling.

A natural blonde beauty who exudes comfort in front of a camera, Tish Linendoll can play virtually any character.  Her salt-of-the-earth Chicago upbringing instilled in the actor a tenacity for taking charge and bringing a genuine sense of realism to any role.  This ability to absorb a part so completely as to transfix the audience is evident in films like Time & Again.  She also delivers authenticity to her roles in popular TV shows including Queen of the South and Scandal Made Me Famous.

The actor’s upcoming films include Second Chance Club and Don’t Drink the Water.  She will also undoubtedly make plenty of appearances on the covers and within the pages of magazines across America this year.

More information, including a complete bio and portfolio of shots, is available at her IMDb page.  Visit http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1266350/?ref_=rvi_nm to learn more.

Distributors at Cannes Film Festival reveal the genre is more in demand than ever before.

It’s only the darling month of May and yet foreign films are attracting a lot of Oscar buzz. Excitement is beginning to mount after a large number of standing ovations were giving at private screenings during Cannes Film Festival which opened up a dialogue about films that are due for release in the genre. Filmmakers from all around the world attend film festivals each year, with their latest movies, hoping to secure distribution in the run up to the Oscar Deadline. During the private screenings distributors can select which films they would like to buy and display at their theatrical and digital outlets.

While It’s normally the big feature films in English that get all the spotlight, this year the discussion was generally around foreign language films and how they are selling at higher prices than ever before as the demand is soaring. The general talk amongst buyers and sellers at Cannes Film Festival was that audiences are starved for culture and education in film which is why we are seeing larger sales revenue in the genre this year. TV has delivered enormously to its audiences by large studio productions such as Game of Thrones, Homeland and House of Cards which have dominated our home screens but now it appears foreign language films are galloping through the inferno.   

While there were quite a few films that raised the bar in foreign film this year here are the top contenders set to break waves.

Penance (Aithri) – Ireland

The Irish language film, “Penance” is a period-drama directed by Tom Collins. The film is about a priest (played by Peter Coonan) who influences a young impressionable boy, Antaine to fight in the 1916 Rising. The historical film is speculated to be the best foreign language film ever made in the Irish language and is set to cater to the 70 million Irish passport holders around the world. With esteemed Producers such as Edwina Forkin and Shari O’Donnell coupled with Tom Collins previous track record, Penance is rumoured to take the lead and is currently in post-production. 

 

 

Du Forsvinder (You Disappear) – Denmark

Based on the novel by Danish writer Christian Jungersen the film’s cinematography and acting and is set to put Denmark in the spotlight. Directed and written by Peter Schønau Fog, who has 21 nominations and 4 wins under his international belt the film is also Produced by Denmark’s hottest Producer, Louise Vesth known for her outstanding achievement in films such as “Melancholia” starring Kirsten Dunst, and the critically acclaimed film “Nymphomaniac”.

 

 

A Ciambra (Young Lions of Gypsy) – Italy

Executively Produced by Martin Scorsese – set to boost writer and Director Jonas Carpignano already fine-tuned reputation as a filmmaker, this Italian film is flavour of the month.  It was screened in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. The film centres around Pio Amato – a 14-year-old boy who’s ready to graduate from his teenage years and figure out the world.

 

 

Es war einmal in Deutschland… – Germany

David Berman and his friends, all Holocaust survivors, have only one purpose: to go to America as soon as possible. For this they need money. Close to his aim, David is not only deprived of his savings but also overtaken by his shady past. Directed by Sam Garbarski, the film is set to be the finest of his career. The film boasts Producers such as Jani Thiltges, co-founder, partner and CEO of Samsa Film in Luxembourg with over 59 eye catching films under his reign.

 

 

Sarkar 3 – India

The third film in Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar trilogy, which chronicles the exploits of a powerful political figure. The Crime Drama has already taken in just under $2 million dollars in India and has begun its overseas theatrical release.

AMERICAN WRITER GARY BEERS PUBLISHES HIS PLAY SCRIPT “WHY ME?” SAID DR. TODD REARDINGS AT THE INTERNATIONAL MAGNA THEATRE CONSORTIUM!

ALBANY, NEW YORK – 1 Jun, 2017 – Why Me was written by Gary Beers and made for Broadway.  Gary Beers’ play Why Me is an accessible, adaptable play that is not beyond anyone’s abilities. A performance by any company is sure to be successful. This play was created especially for all production types, both on and off Broadway. 

This playwright writes logically and beautifully, shifting between all tenses and voices to make a cohesive, fascinating story, an accomplishment not seen by another playwright. This play will attract worldwide fame, and will be the recipient of many global awards. Beers is set to become the world-renowned writer of all genres!  

According to Dr. Todd Reardings of the International Magna Theatre Consortium, Why Me? is “Flawless!” This play, inspired by one muse, was fully developed and written miraculously between Saturday, March 17, 1990 and finished Wednesday, May 10, 2017!  Per the playwright’s publisher, “It is the longest professional play script ever written. The 3 acts and 24 scenes last more than 20.54 hours!” The play is one triple-length play script. The play, the world’s longest professionally written play script, is a reflection of the eclectic American playwright who crafted it. According to Beers’ own description, this play is going to be a unique worldwide phenomenon.  He successfully wrote this masterpiece piece over more than 27 years, and only recently finished it.  Beers has now readied it for its debut production as a theatrical event. He alone has brought it to a true and lasting state of perfection! The publisher did not change any of the play’s contents, so that anyone who sees it now is seeing it exactly as the author always intended for it to be seen, read, and precisely performed.

The eccentric Gary Beers has his own eclectic writing style, in which he asserts his beautiful language and writing by using interchangeable perspectives and tenses, taking the reader on a journey never experienced before. He has said that the play script’s production will be done with great ease, as he has always had a clear idea of what his work should be. He can create, he says, “At will, whim, and or demand!”

Gary Beers, participating in a scheduled telephone interview with this reporting authority source on May 3, 2017, wrote the play—and communicates—from his very private residence in Athens, New York. He has a keen sense of who he is and an unwavering confidence in his writing abilities.

“Many greats in the writing profession have written works of all kinds, genres, and writing styles. Today, in the very large and active worldwide literary marketplace, all their works are still prominently on sale. As it stands right now, my published work presents itself as being the mother of all, heaven-only-knows theatrical play scripts.”

More Information Here.

It is Beers’ firm belief it is probably the greatest play or literary piece published since Shakespeare. The play’s performance was made possible by Gary Beers, so everyone who sees it will clearly see its beauty and message. As you read this play, you will come to know, without any doubts or reservations, the various communities of Yonkers, New York (the playwright’s birthplace) and the surrounding New York City tristate area. The location is just as integral to the story in Why Me? as the characters.

This play, as published, will forever be well-adapted to all types of performances. It took almost three decades before Beers could bring this long-awaited project to completion.  The final script is a true, everlasting, and unique play that could not have been written by any other playwright in the world. The play is the fruit of 27 years of toil by Beers, who was—and still is—determined to make the script and any productions or the play as perfect as he envisioned.

The play is suitable for ages 18 and older and can be performed professionally or On-Off Broadway so that the productions can be seen by thousands. As the ultimate manual (A Manifesto) for anyone who wants to stage a “contemporary, multimedia production,” each performance will leave its audience in awe and glad they came. There undoubtedly will be those in the audience who are spellbound. This first edition is the pinnacle of Beers’ very own hand-made theatrical perfection, as it is already considered to be remarkable by many of his fans all around the world!  These readers are mesmerized by Beers’ own “eclectic artistry.” 

It said here by all parties concerned that, “Gary Beers is now proving himself to officially be a global writer.” Todd Reardings says that Beers “…is now the best writer and editor of all time!”

This literary work by Gary Beers is being one sold for only $28.99. The e-Book is available now at the following stores [Among so many others]: Amazon, KOBO, ITunes, Barnes & Noble, and BOOKRIX.COM

Gary Beers stated that this play script will be coming into print by late Fall of 2018! Discover other great works by Gary Beers at BOOKRIX.COM

June 1, 2017 – Just a couple of weeks after the release of “Criminals, leading pop star Mrs. X is back again with her new single “Tango Punta Cana”. While the previous one was a warning to the time-thieves, the new one is a beautiful expression of the pathos of long-distance in the mysterious singer’s signature poetic rhythm.

“Tango Punta Cana” is the tale of two lovers separated by miles, with one staying at Frankfurt and the other at Punta Cana. The two people are also quite different from each other as individuals. The talented singer weaves in the differences between the two lovers beautifully through her soulful lines-

“Oh, you have the sun on your skin, and I´ve got used to the rain, but I thought I could feel you.

Oh, the north falls to the south after ten hours of flight, still I can’t understand you.”

The latest single is a part of Mrs. X’s phenomenal project “Pop à la carte” where she is working with Selfi Carmel, the award-winning music producer from London. The disc features two songs- the main version of “Tango Punta Cana” and a peppy remix of the song. Selfi has shouldered all the mixing & mastering for single, duly supported by his highly talented team, including Russel and Alex Bloxham. Both Russel & Bloxham have worked with Selfi on the sound of the single in Soundtrack Creation Studios, London.

“It feels just incredible to see your dreams turning to reality. I am deeply attached to every artist associated with “Tango Punta Cana”. They have been a huge support all through and have also inspired me at every step. I always learning great things from Selfi, not just stuff about songs or audio quality – but also on how to assure a positive approach to life & how to be a perfectionist with heart.” said Mrs. X while speaking about her association with Selfi and his great team for the song.

The main version of the single follows a gentle pace and would be loved by the connoisseurs of soft emotional pop numbers. It’s Mrs. X who has sung the emotional lines of the track, supported by heartwarming back vocals by Gani Tamir. The vocals were recorded in Bond Studio, Germany. The song features a tear-jerking rap part written by Mrs. X and performed Canadian rap star YYZ. He is the one who blew away with his exciting rap performance in “Monday Sunshine”.

Popular American DJ & producer Morsy has rendered a feet-tapping club number with the remix version of the new single.

Clarksville, TN – It can be pretty tough being an army veteran, especially for those who are battling the demons within. James Thomas (The Protégé of Music), who was part of Operation Enduring Freedom, battled it out in the field, and has now released his hip-hop and underground rap EP album, ‘Fighting Fate’, to raise awareness of veterans struggling with mental illness.

‘Fighting Fate’ comprises ten lively tracks, including No Sleep, Insanity, Last Glance, PTSD Interlude, and Fighting Fate. The title track is also the name of the movement that James Thomas has launched to offer support for army veterans caught in these predicaments.

It’s hard to believe, but 22 veterans commit suicide every day in the US. ‘Fighting Fate’ gives a voice, an outlet, and opens a window of hope to those caught in the endless loop of thoughts, tribulations, heartbreaks, and their more sinister form, post-traumatic stress disorder.

“This album is dedicated to army veterans using music to break through the stigma of talking about mental illness… because every day, we’re fighting fate,” says James Thomas.

James wrote “Fighting Fate” (22 Too Many) to describe his own struggles with mental illness and suicidal thoughts. As part of the initiative, he is currently selling ‘Fighting Fate’ T-Shirts, whose sales proceeds go towards Active Heroes, a charity working for the cause of suicide prevention and awareness amongst veterans and their families.

Born in Fort Knox, KY, James followed in his father’s footsteps and commissioned into the United States Army in 2008. He went on to serve in OEF (Afghanistan) from May 2010-2011, and moved out of service in 2013. The journey wasn’t devoid of music though, and the words and songs that occupied his mind are now out in the new album.

‘Fighting Fate’ is available at iTunes, CDBaby, Spotify and the Protégé Music website, which has a music player, and the album can be bought there at the original price.

jopippins drops the single “Tattoos” in advance of album release

CHARLOTTE, NC – 3 Jun, 2017 – “It’s an honor to be compared to Travis Scott, but I do have my own sound and message,” said Jordan Pippins, known professionally as jopippins.

“Overall, I would describe my music as a cross between hip-hop and alternative rock,” jopippins said.  “I have been playing the guitar since I was four.  Nirvana and King Krule have always influenced my sound, while artists like Childish Gambino and Tyler, the Creator influenced my lyrics.”

When you listen to “Tattoos,” the first single off jopippins’ upcoming album, you immediately hear his sound influence in the intro guitar riff.  Tyler Clerkin of Earmilk compares the riff as if it came straight from Van Halen himself.

 “Tattoos is not about getting inked but I rhyme about how money is tattooed on my mind,” jopippins said.  “Whether you want to admit it or not, money is on everyone’s mind most of the time – how to get more of it, spend it, save it.”

jopippins is a versatile musician who produced the instrumental.  Clerkin of Earmilk continued to describe “Tattoos’” tight drums and nice steady bassline.  Clerkin added “with jopippins vocals on top, you got yourself a hit.  Tattoos is the perfect track to get your summer started.”

“Tattoos” is available on all streaming services including Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud and Google Play.

jopippins’ upcoming LP “vacation never ends” will be released early summer.

It immediately hit her, fueling the further fillip she needed to write “Wonder Woman!”

Inspired By The Classic Rock Of The 70’s And 80’s, Ivory Tower Project Is A Band With An Emotional History And A Unique Sound

$

New album “How Much More?” by Ivory Tower Project available now!
More than a story about musical passion, the tale of Ivory Tower Project is one of heartbreak and achievement. Following the deaths of two of the four founding members and the severe injury of a third, the band has continued to cultivate their own unique classic rock influenced sound, while also bringing a modern edge to it. “How Much More?” is the latest album in their catalog of inspired music that delves into the unique challenges that the band has faced.

Ivory Tower Project was originally formed by Mark Regula, Johnny Jace, Tony Novorro and Sal DiAngelo with the idea of capturing the essence of classic rock and presenting it in a truly modern fashion. Soon after the band’s formation, in 1983, original member Sal DiAngelo died, which was the first taste of tragedy that the band experienced. The second was the death of songwriter Johnny Jace, who passed away in 2003. If things were not bad enough for the band, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mark Regula was in a serious car accident that left him barely able to walk or perform live.

If you think that is a lot for a band and four individuals to endure emotionally, it is. In an interview with a New York music publication, Regula shared his experiences with the loss of his band members and in that, found the strength to carry on and continue recording. “How Much More?”, an album that is as deep and introspective as the name would suggest, features some of the the last lyrics written by Johnny Jace. Regula was then tasked with putting the lyrics of his dearly departed friend and band member to melodies, without having him to bounce ideas off of; a task that he says was one of the most difficult parts about recording the album.

Fortunately, during this time, Regula was able to lean on his friend and band member Tony Novorro, who Regula says always had faith in the music of Ivory Tower Project. They bring their own take on the emotional turmoil that they have experienced. The end result are rich, textured sounds that have similar underlying messages, but able to give listeners a glimpse into how both members were able to cope both separately and individually with songs like “Please Tell Me”, a song written about original drummer Sal DiAngelo.

Through all of the pain and heartache, ITP has been able to endure more than many bands and continue to turn their pain into strength; to take all of the loss and empty space and to turn it into captivating music that is reflective of every member’s shared influences and love for one another. In their music you will hear sweeping guitar, epic vocals and pulsating beats a la classic rock greats including Foreigner, INXS, Styx and Boston to name a few. A must have for listeners who have been looking for something that captures the essence of classic rock but with a more polished and modernized production value.

“How Much More?” is currently available on Amazon, CD Baby, iTunes, Google Play, and a variety of other online music sites. The band is currently working on a few covers with a brand new rhythm section as well as new original songs that will appear on a future album.
