Lauren Lyle doesn't have crazy shippers trashing her and her boyfriend, hiring private investigators to prove she and he aren't actually together or creating fiction about her and her co-star Cesar. Plus, not every celebrity is into promoting and sharing their private lives on line with million of strangers. And in spite of all the garbage shippers thrown Cait's way for 10 years, she's managed to be with Tony, who she married and had a child with. By the end of 2024 OL will be just a memory. She will finally leave it behind and rarely see Sam who will continue on the same path making B movies and shilling his booze to whatever is left of OL mommies.

First of all: we are coming from an Easter holiday, I don't know if you celebrate it in a religious sense, but we usually leave these holidays lighter and happier, so why so much bitterness? Second: why are you hurting yourself by reading shippers' blogs, where you will find opinions contrary to yours, which will make you angry and cause you suffering? Now to answer: no one can take away from Lauren and Cesar the merit of having been light and open from the beginning. And this has always been easy for them because they have nothing to hide. Nobody ships them, because from the beginning the friendship between them is something that can be seen, in fact. From the beginning they post photos together with their respective partners, from the beginning they don't create mysteries when they meet. Everything we see from the two (and from anyone who has social media) is what they want to show us and Cesar and Lauren have shown us all these years how spontaneous they are. They just act like normal friends who have nothing to hide. About Stalkers you forgot to mention the fans who travel (and even move) to Glasgow to try to meet and get a glimpse of C's home life (unsuccessfully). He also forgot to mention the fan who went to an awards show and screamed T's name as if he were a celebrity, making him practically run away from the venue in mortification. Well, these people are not shippers, you don't have to complain about them here on my blog. And about celebrities and social media: anyone who really doesn't want people/fans to know anything about their life acts like Tobias Menzies. You don't know what his garden looks like, his dishes, his sheets, the walls of his house, his relatives, where he was possibly last week, not even the last female friendship he made, simply because he doesn't post anything of this and doesn't even talk about it in interviews. Posting about personal life and then complaining about privacy is contradictory to say the least. And lastly: based on your bitterness and the fact that you try to read things that hurt you: have you ever thought about going to therapy? I know you'll take this as an insult, but I'm serious. Sometimes destructive behaviors are in small nuances of our lives and we don't realize it.

With him in SF in early September I wonder if they'll shoot S8 without any break. They are filming the 6th episode, with 4 weeks/block=2 eps. + 1 week for all table reads they should be done by end of August. The end is near & 12 years in the making by the time S8 airs.

I received a number of these similar asks in the last weeks already but didn't get to answer it in the way I wanted (sorry for the delay)

First of all to avoid some confusion, as far as I know he said he was gonna receive the SWF Award at Top Shelf event in October! I don't know why people keep saying September?

Caitriona's movie The Amateur was scheduled to be released on November 8, 2024, however the release is delayed and will now be on April 11, 2025

I do (of course) not have a filming schedule, so the short answer on will they have a summer break is; I don't know.

But we can speculate and think about a few things I considered. No facts of course, purely speculation.

Previous seasons we always could find some little clues and hints from time to time during filming, but this season it's extra hard. I shared what I could about location, but it's not always clear if it concerns OL S8 or BOB. That goes also for the clues we often would find on IG from the crew, which it seems are switching being busy on both series. The cast from BOB posts more little hints and clues than the cast from OL. Sometimes the supporting characters do, like today Kieran Bew

Kieran Bew IGS 21 June 2024

I also considered that S7 part 2 might have been altered a bit from how it was originally planned. As we were wondering during filming of S7 that there was no Fersali on set. Lauren and Cesar both were busy on other projects. But lately we've seen them again in Glasgow, and I really wonder if they filmed some extra scenes we will see in S7 part 2. It's hard to imagine how the storyline about Claire returning to the US, Philadelphia for Henri Christian's health problems (Fergus and Marsali's child) could omit Fersali. So perhaps they added scenes to S7 part 2, hence the long delay for it? (I could be completely wrong but we will know when it airs and if we'll see Fersali in S7 part 2 we know)

Anyway, we don't know where S7 part 2 ends, but if we are still in 3 different time periods (which does look that way given Diarmaid (Buck) seems to work on S8 as well, I figure not all cast is always needed on set. I do think, well actually am quite sure, some already had some time off in May. So perhaps, depending on the characters needed they scheduled it that way that people can have a wee break. I do wonder though about crew members, but perhaps BOB, which already started filming earlier this year will be done by July or so, and crew can take a wee break as well.

As for Sam, I do have an idea why his schedule didn't fit the Highlander con in July... but I keep that for my self for now. When time comes I'll see if I was right about it or not.

Go the Distance — VoicePlay music video

When life seems daunting, a little hope and determination can go a long way. So when VoicePlay wanted to record this inspirational Disney song, they called on their buddy EJ to add his soaring tenor voice to their ensemble. If you need a little pick-me-up, this just might do the trick.

Details:

title: Go the Distance (feat. EJ Cardona)

original performers: "Go the Distance" by Roger Bart as Hercules & "Go the Distance" by Michael Bolton during the end credits in Hercules (1997)

written by: Alan Menken & David Zippel; end credits version with Michael Bolton

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

release date: 9 April 2021

My favorite bits:

the precision of the opening bell chords, punctuated by Geoff's deep hummed notes, and that lovely crescendo

J.None's pure, hopeful tone in the first verse

the slow ebb and flow of layering that reflects the character's initial uncertainty giving way to increasing self-confidence

the delicate timbre EJ uses to riff on the repeated ♫ "right where I belong" ♫

Layne kicking in the beat for the second verse

Eli's deft descending riff of ♫ "lead me to you" ♫ guiding the listener's ear down toward Geoff's bassier territory for the hand-off

the smile on EJ's face coming through in his voice during ♫ "my journey is complete" ♫

the combination of Layne's crash cymbal and the sunrise lighting change accompanying ♫ "to look beyond the glory" ♫

those fun little bends in Geoff's bass line leading out of the second chorus

the captions describing that dynamic "instrumental" section as "inspirational vocalizing awsomeness 😎"

the audio panning on Layne's descending riff leading out of the bridge that sounds like someone running behind you

those rising harmonies on the drawn out ♫ "face it's harms" ♫

Geoff's bouncy arpeggio in the middle of the penultimate chorus

passing the lead around for the repeated ♫ "find my hero's welcome" ♫

the counterpoint lines from Eli and J.None reprising the main lyrics with EJ soaring gloriously over the top

those exultant ending chords with all five voices

Trivia:

VoicePlay had previously included a portion of this song as the opening segement in their "Aca Top 10 – Disney Heroes" countdown.

This was their first collaboration with EJ, though they'd known him through the local performance community for many years, particularly as a member of fellow a cappella groups Vocatve, and Voices of Liberty at Disney World.

Voctave included an excerpt of this song in their "Disney Heroes & Villains Medley" two years later, though someone else sang lead for that section, while EJ tackled "Out There" from Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The end credits version of the song sung by Michael Bolton was nominated for both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, but ultimately lost both to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.

In the Latin American Spanish release of the film, singer Ricky Martin voiced the main character and also recorded a pop rendition of "No Importa la Distancia" ("No Matter the Distance") for that version of the soundtrack.

While they were getting ready to film, Layne gave J.None some dubious stage directions.

Alain Delon, the giant French actor and film producer who worked with some of Europe’s most revered 20th-century directors, died at 88 💔 in Douchy-Montcorbon (Centre-Val de Loire). Celebrated actor and star of Plein Soleil Le Samouraï, The Leopard, and many more, was immortal, his talent, charisma, aura and melancholic unforgettable face shook up our lives and made him destined for a Hollywood career at a young age, but he chose France, which made him an international icon, and earned him enduring popularity.

Born in 1935 in Sceaux in the Paris 🇫🇷 suburbs, Delon was expelled from several schools before leaving at 14 to work in a butcher’s shop. After a stint in the navy - French Navy Fusiliers(during which he saw combat in France’s colonial war in Vietnam), he was dishonourably discharged in 1956 and drifted into acting. He was spotted by the Hollywood producer David O Selznick at Cannes and signed to a contract, but decided to try his luck in French cinema and made his debut with a small role in Yves Allégret’s 1957 thriller Send a Woman When the Devil Fails.

Alain Delon. CLH** ; Born. Alain Fabien Maurice Marcel Delon, actor and film producer received numerous accolades, including Honorary Palme d'Or 2019; National Order of Merit 1995; Cesar Award for Best Actor 1985; Ordre des Arts et des Lettres; David di Donatello Special Award 1972; TIFF Award for Lifetime Achievement 2017; Berlin International Film Festival Award -Honorary Golden Bear 1995; Locarno International Film Festival: Lifetime Achievement Award 2012; Chevalier 1991; Officier 2005

The most beautiful man to ever live.

Alain Delon in his breakout film Plein Soleil (Purple Noon) 1960 ‧ Thriller/Crime. Everything captured in this film is beautiful... the locations, the light, and above all the people. You should watch it... obviously.

Originally the 1960 French thriller Plein Soleil – was remade for a modern audience as The Talented Mr Ripley.

The fictional town Mongibello, where most of the film takes place, was filmed around Naples, Italy. The location adds an exquisite touch to the storyline.

Adieu Alain!

RIP Alain Delon 1935-2024 🥀 🖤

Gibson Garage London -The Ultimate Guitar Experience- To Open in Historic London, Early 2024

Gibson, the iconic and leading American instrument brand, has shaped sound across generations and genres of music, becoming one of the most relevant, played, and loved guitar brands around the world. Gibson is proud to announce it will officially open a new Gibson Garage in London. The Gibson Garage is the ultimate guitar experience and destination for music lovers across the globe, and the place to explore Gibson’s 130-year music history. The Gibson Garage London marks the first-ever Gibson flagship store outside of the U.S. and follows the wildly successful opening of the Gibson Garage Nashville.

Cesar Gueikian, Gibson President and CEO, states, “When we first began designing the Gibson Garage, our global flagship, we asked ourselves, ‘What do we want our fans to experience when walking into Gibson?’ We imagined an immersive dream space where fans walk in and say, ‘Wow, this is the place that Gibson should have always had!’ The Garage we built in Nashville is an exciting place to experience Gibson music and lifestyle through instruments, sound, media, and apparel. The Garage is designed to be a part of the local music community with a live stage featuring performances and events from icons and emerging artists on any given day of the week. The Gibson Garage in Nashville has had an extraordinary impact on the music scene in addition to becoming a global music destination and we are thrilled to bring the Garage to London. As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London has always been an influential musical ecosystem and became an obvious choice of where to open our next Gibson Garage.”

Opening in early 2024, and located in Historic London just off Oxford Street, the Gibson Garage London will feature 4,500 square feet of retail space. Inside the Gibson Garage, visitors can plug-in and play more than 300 electric and acoustic guitars from Gibson Custom Shop to Epiphone, explore the entire collection of MESA/Boogie amplifiers, Maestro pedals, and more.

At the Gibson Garage, music lovers will experience live performances, can design a dream Made-to-Measure guitar in the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab, catch a live taping of one of the award-winning Gibson TV series, and enjoy captivating, interactive storytelling and memorabilia inside the historic space. Fans can play all things Gibson, Epiphone, Kramer, MESA/Boogie, and Maestro, try out the full line of electric and acoustic guitars, and take a piece of history home with one-of-a-kind limited edition guitars, gear and accessories, as well as exclusive apparel collaborations. Whether a seasoned professional musician, a casual guitar player, a beginner, or simply a music fan, the Gibson Garage is open to all, and will be a must-see destination in central London.

Expect an announcement in the coming months regarding the opening of the new Gibson Garage London.

RLJE Films and Shudder Acquire Eli Craig's CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD.

RLJE Films and Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that they have snagged the U.S. rights to Eli Craig’s (TUCKER & DAVE VS. EVIL, LITTLE EVIL) CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, based on the Bram Stoker Award-winning horror novel by Adam Cesare. From Temple Hill Entertainment, the production team behind smash hit SMILE, the film stars Katie Douglas (GINNY & GEORGIA), Carson MacCormac (SHAZAM!), Aaron Abrams (HANNIBAL), Will Sasso (THE THREE STOOGES), and Kevin Durand (ABIGAIL). RLJE Films will release the film wide theatrically on May 9, 2025.

Adapted to a screenplay by Carter Blanchard and Craig, CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD follows Quinn (Douglas) and her father (Abrams), who have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen on hard times after the treasured Baypen Corn Syrup Factory burned down. As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.

Adam Cesare, author of the CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD series.

“Adam Cesare’s ‘Clown’ series has been on my radar for some time now, and we are pumped to bring Eli Craig’s harrowing, savage, heart-pounding adaptation to the big screen in 2025,” said RLJE Films' Chief Acquisition Officer Mark Ward.

Said Director Eli Craig, "I’m thrilled to partner with RLJE Films and Shudder to release this insanely fun action, horror, comedy where we always wanted it to be seen — in theaters! As always in my movies, there’s a deeper theme about the collision of perspectives and ideals that leads to utter mayhem. It was fun in this one, however, to let the horror thrills take the lead, while the comedic absurdity that I can’t help but see in life brings a bit of levity."

HarperCollins published Cesare’s novel ‘Clown in Cornfield’ in 2020, followed by the second book in the franchise, ‘Clown in a Cornfield II: Frendo Lives’ in 2022. ‘Clown in a Cornfield III: The Church of Frendo,’ had its debut in August 2024 and has since become a USA Today Bestseller.

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD is produced by Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, and John Fischer for Temple Hill and Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis and Terry Dougas for Rhea Films, and executive produced by Jean-Luc De Fanti, Max Work and Kostas Tsoukalas for Rhea Films, Petersen Harris and George Berman for Temple Hill, Dave Bishop and George Hamilton for Protagonist Pictures, Daniel Bekerman for Scythia Films Inc., Myron John Tataryn for Thundersnow Pictures, and Carter Blanchard. The film is a Rhea Films Production as well as a Temple Hill Production and was financed by Hercules Film Fund.

The deal was negotiated by Mark Ward on behalf of RLJE Films and Shudder and Hal Sadoff and Lina Marrone on behalf of the filmmakers. International rights are being handled by Protagonist Pictures.

Ada di posisi ketujuh Ballon d'Or, Martinez berterima kasih ke fans

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Penyerang Inter Milan Lautaro Martinez berterima kasih ke fans klubnya setelah berada di peringkat ketujuh di penghargaan pemain sepak bola terbaik dunia versi majalah sepak bola Prancis France Football, Ballon d'Or tahun 2024.

"Terima kasih untuk semuanya," ujar Lautaro, dikutip dari laman resmi Inter Milan di Jakarta, Selasa.

Pesepak bola asal Argentina itu menyebut, suporter menjadi alasan di balik motivasi dirinya untuk berkembang setiap hari.

Menurut Lautaro, motivasi tersebit membuatnya terus bekerja keras untuk memberikan prestasi, tidak hanya bagi Inter Milan, tetapi juga untuk tim nasional Argentina.

Dia pun mengaku senang dengan pencapaiannya di Ballon d'Or tahun ini.

Menurut Lautaro, hal itu menjadi pengakuan terhadap pengorbanan dan semua kerja keras yang dilakukannya di lapangan.

"Saya bahagia bisa bersaing untuk. Saya pikir, selalu menjadi hal penting bisa dinominasikan untuk penghargaan prestisius individu seperti itu (Ballon d'Or-red). Kredit juga saya berikan kepada rekan-rekan saya baik di Inter Milan maupun Argentina," tutur dia.

Selain Lautaro, gelandang Inter Milan Hakan Calhanoglu juga masuk jajaran terbaik di Ballon d'Or 2024 yakni di peringkat ke-20. Sementara kiper Inter Yann Sommer menjadi penjaga gawang terbaik keenam di Yashin Award, penghargaan untuk kiper terbaik di dunia versi Football France.

Peringkat ketujuh di Ballon d'Or 2024 membuat Lautaro Martinez berstatus sebagai pemain Inter Milan dengan posisi terbaik di Ballon d'Or sejak tahun 2011. Pada tahun 2011 itu penyerang Inter Milan Diego Forlan, yang didatangkan dari Atletico Madrid, juga berada di peringkat ketujuh Ballon d'Or.

Adapun pada tahun 2010, Inter menempatkan empat pemain di 20 besar Ballon d'Or, yakni Wesley Sneijder (posisi keempat), Samuel Eto'o (posisi ke-12), Maicon (posisi ke-17) dan Julio Cesar (posisi ke-19).

Lautaro Martinez pun menyamai pencapaian dua penyerang legendaris Inter Milan di Ballon d'Or yakni Adriano (posisi ketujuh tahun 2005) dan Zlatan Ibrahimovic (posisi ketujuh tahun 2007).

Lautaro Martinez meraih beberapa penghargaan penting sepanjang musim 2023-2024 bersama Inter Milan dan timnas Argentina.

Bersama Inter, pemain berusia 27 tahun itu memenangi Liga Italia Serie A sekaligus menjadi pencetak gol terbanyak di sana serta merebut trofi kampiun Copa America.

Adapun Ballon d'Or 2024 dimenangkan oleh gelandang bertahan Manchester City, Rodrigo "Rodri" Hernandez, disusul dua pemain Real Madrid Vinicius Junior dan Jude Bellingham masing-masing di posisi kedua dan ketiga.
