Stewart Wants To Record An Album With Stevie Wonder
Former EURYTHMICS rocker Dave Stewart is calling on Motown legend Stevie Wonder to join him in the studio, so they can record an album together. Stewart has been dreaming of a collaboration since Wonder performed the harmonica on Eurythmics' 1985 single There Must Be an Angel (Playin' with My Heart). And he used an appearance on U.S. talk show The View on Thursday (18Sep08) to issue a plea to the Happy Birthday hitmaker. Stewart said, "Stevie Wonder played on a Eurythmics track. Ever since then I'v

Obama Interrupted By, “Blacks Against Obama”
Obama was in the middle of speaking about the economic crisis when a roar rippled across the crowd of supporters. When the cameras turned away, they caught a glimpse several black protesters holding up signs against the Democratic presidential candidate. The “Black Against Obama” group of about 10 protesters held up several signs, such as one that stated that Obama was for gay marriage and abortion, and another that said his candidacy was “endorsed by the KKK.” Another sign said, &#

Little Stevie Wonder
Very few of the current “recording artists” can truly be considered musicians. Not only in our culturally depraved generation, but throughout time. Not every name playing musical chairs atop the Billboard chart at the end of the week is that of a person who has made it their duty to master music and perfect their art. True, some have remarkable voices and occasionally one or two may excel and take their craft to a slightly higher level and wider audience. They then become representative figure

Five Things You Never Knew About Danger Radio (Including The Answer To The Question: Who IS Danger Radio?)
Have you ever tried to explain Seinfeld to someone who’s never seen it before? It’s like trying to summarize War and Peace in 50 words or less. In other words, theoretically doable, but generally more trouble than it’s worth. (You know, like scrubbing your toilet or going down a dress-size!) And speaking of things that are both highly enjoyable and damn near impossible to explain, allow us to present Danger Radio. The six-man punk/rock/jazz/funk group (whose influences include Justin Timb

Ne-Yo: 'Mum's Advice Saved My Voice'
NE-YO has his mother to thank for his singing career - because she taught him how to have a more manly voice. The Because of You star admits his vocals weren't very macho when he kicked off his music career. And it was some invaluable advice from his mum - to try to imitate Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder - that caused him to change his style of singing, setting him on the path to stardom. He tells USA Today newspaper, "I hated my voice. I thought it was too high and tinny and nasal. I wanted to have m

Stevie Wonder announces extra concerts

Though Roger Ebert would rather his thwacking ... [Lou Lumenick]
Though Roger Ebert would rather his thwacking at the hands of Lou Lumenick be forgotten, it seems that New York Post readers aren't as quick to forgive. Lumenick's last Toronto Film Festival update neglects to mention the incident (instead focusing on an Anne Hathaway/Keira Knightley Oscar showdown), but every single commenter rips into him anyway, blaming the critic for pummeling a national treasure. "So let me guess: on your next trip you're going to run over Stephen Hawkins and maybe punch Stevie Wonder,

Celebs Out & About: 9/11
Queen Latifah probably had Alicia Keys on her mind today at the Toronto Premiere of “The Secret Life of Bees” (wasn’t that a Stevie Wonder song?). Anyway, I don’t have any insider tips on what went down between them on the set. So please don’t say you heard anything from me because I will strenuously deny the allegations. LL Cool J performed live on the CBS Early Show yesterday. I guess they told him to keep his shirt on for safety reasons. Rapper-turned-actor 50 Ce

Esmee Denters Blown Away By Stevie Wonder Concert
