Tuesday Tales

Awards season is in full swing and Oscar nominations have been announced. Among those getting an Oscar nod are Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Richard Jenkins, Frank Langella and Mickey Rourke for best actor. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button was among those nominated for best picture. Angelina Jolie was among those nominated for best actress. A hugh shock was the snub of Heath Ledger for best supporting actor. You can catch the 48th annual Academy Awards on Feburary 22 on CBS. You can also catch the good, the bad and the oh so ugly of the auditons as "American Idol"'s seventh season gets underway as well. And 'The Boss" Bruce Springsteen is among artists who have new releases hitting store shelves this week. Take Care.

In Loving Memory

First, I'd to say everyone have a blessed new year. I'd like to pay tribute to the artist we lost in 2008. The contributions these indivduals made to the industry will live on. Bernie Mac, actor/comedian, 1957-2008. Isaac Hayes, singer/songwriter, 1942-2008. Bo Didley, rock-n-roll pioneer, 1930-2008. Eartha Kitt, singer/actress, 1931-2008. May they rest in peace.
