American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan won the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday, a stunning announcement that for the first time bestowed the prestigious award on a musician.
The Swedish Academy cited Dylan for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition."
Reporters and others gathered for the announcement at the academy's headquarters in Stockholm's Old Town reacted with a loud cheer as his name was read out.

Dylan, who turned 75 in May, had been mentioned in the Nobel speculation for years, but few experts expected the academy to extend the prestigious award to a genre such as popular music.
The academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius, said that while Dylan performs his poetry in the form of songs, that's no different from the ancient Greeks, whose works were often performed to music.

Friends and family gathered Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles, as fans gathered online worldwide, to pay tribute to Motörhead lead singer Ian Fraser Kilmister - aka Lemmy. Kilmister died in late December, just days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, the band said. His passing was received by an outpouring of grief from musicians and other celebrities, including Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Juliette Lewis, Ice T and others. For his memorial service, the band - which would be disbanding after Lemmy's death - planned something equally large: a global gathering in remembrance and celebration for a "warrior and a legend.

Miley Cryus continues to use shock value to keep herself in the news. This time, she pretended to perform oral sex on a back up dancer in a Bill Clinton mask.
Miley Cyrus Fakes Oral Sex On Clinton Impersonator
Perhaps because of Hillary Clinton’s impending candidacy for president and the resulting analysis that features questions about how Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky will effect her chances, Cyrus decided the former president’s past indiscretions were not only relevant – but a perfect bit for while she sings “Party in the U.S.A.”
As a cat dances on the jumbo screen in the background, Miley struts around the stage in a patriotic leotard and cowboy hat. On her way back across the stage, she drops to her knees before the Clinton impersonator, twerks on the Liberty Bell, grinds up on Mount Rushmore and gives Lady Liberty a kiss on the cheek.

Plein Soleil
Film
Plein Soleil was the first adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley, and Alain Delon’s star-making turn as the beautiful and charming villain Tom Ripley is arguably the best of the four on screen portrayals of the amoral social climber.
Ripley is sent to Italy to persuade the playboy son of an American millionaire to return home to San Francisco, but when it becomes apparent that Phillipe has no intention of going home so that Ripley can collect his fee, Ripley decides that actually becoming Phillipe, and gaining control of his considerable assets, is a much better prospect. Gradually ingratiating himself with the playboy and his fiancé Marge (although she is annoyed with their boyish camaraderie and is dubious about Ripley), Ripley painstakingly constructs his imitation of Phillipe while quietly engineering the opportunity to make him disappear, the final step...

Last year and again this year we are invited to attend the Sarajevo Film Festival by Asja Makarević, Project Manager for Sarajevo Talent Campus. If you are going, look for Peter Belsito there!
Sarajevo Film Festival (August 16-24, 2013), now in its 19th year, is an international film festival with special focus on the region of Southeast Europe, it provides high quality programming, a strong industry segment, an educational platform for young filmmakers, the presence of numerous representatives of film industry, film authors and media representatives from all over the world, as well as over 100,000 visitors, thus confirming the festival's status, renowned and recognized by film professionals as well as by its audience.
It serves as a catalyst for cooperation within the region, and establishes connections with partners from all over the world. It also represents a platform for development of film business in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the region, as well as setting new standards of festival organization and film presentation. While Karlovy Vary Film Festival has the Best of the East which gives a good view of finished films from Eastern Europe and is especially kind to journalists around the world, Sarajevo simultaneously hosts Cinelink, a very pro-active co-production market and workshop and Talent Campus which is a part of the Berlinale. This general networking of the world film industry is even more interesting because of its location in the city of Sarajevo itself. After the 4 year long siege of Sarajevo, it was founded as a means to recreate civil society of the City in 1995.
American actor/activist Danny Glover will curate and present the award for this year's Katrin Cartlidge Foundation Award to a new cinematic voice whose work embodies Katrin Cartlidge’s “integrity of spirit and commitment to independent film”. Cartlidge, who died in 2002, was a British actress best known for her work with Mike Leigh and whose last role in the Bosnian filmmaker Danis Tanović’s No Man’s Land. Over the past nine years the Foundation has appointed a curator, selected from Cartlidge’s friends and colleagues, who in turn chooses a recipient for the annual award, a cash bursary, which is announced at a special red carpet gala at the Festival.
This year, all the selections of the Sff Competition Programme will present a total of 50 films. This brings the best of regional cinema and follows the Sarajevo Film Festival strategy of discovering new talents, approaches and tendencies rooted in the world cinema today.
For the final line-up of the Competition Program, programmers and the Sarajevo Film Festival team saw 750 films from the region, including 200 feature films, 150 documentaries and 400 short and animated films. This year's selection, but also the general interest in our Competition selections, encourages the Sarajevo Film Festival in its determination to continue working on strengthening regional film production, promotion and film distribution. This is even more strongly emphasized by the fact that this year, in its three Competition selections, the Festival brings 14 world premieres, 7 international and 19 regional ones.

Vanity Fair posted the following chart examining the death toll in all of Quentin Tarantino's films along with the method of each death, be it baseball bat, samurai sword, the Five Point Exploding Heart Technique, dynamite and more. The films include Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. With four total kills, Jackie Brown comes in the lightest in the death department while Inglourious Basterds is the overwhelming winner with 396 deaths. Granted, most of those came as a result of the fire at the end of the film, but even without the fire you're looking at 57 kills, which is still enough for third place behind Django Unchained and Kill Bill: Vol. 1. I've included the chart below, you can give it a click for a much larger version that will be easier to read.

New York — Despite a lack of sleep, which she credited to having a very eventful stay in New York, Florence Welch still tapped into festival-level energy for her sold-out show at Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday night.
In the time that's elapsed since the release of her 2009 debut Lungs, the 25-year-old English musician, stylized with her band as Florence and the Machine, has blossomed into an international star and a world-class performer. That much was reflected in her ability to command the audience's attention, keeping them on their feet throughout an hour-long show in a venue that afforded the option of seating.
The show was live-streamed on Fuse TV, and maybe because of this, Welch performed a set that was heavy on material from her most recent LP Ceremonials,...

The chicks and chavs of American Idol wailed two jams this week: one post-2000 anthem and one "soul" song in the tradition of Soul Train, the most phenomenal music series of all time. (Sorry, Dick Clark! I still watch $25,000 Pyramid reruns every day, so no disrespect.) Though it was awkward when Don Cornelius' son Tony appeared in the audience not two months after his father's self-destruction, much of the night was a splendid musical spectacular. Hot. And a couple of beleaguered contestants rebirthed and came alive for the first time in weeks. Wee!

Earlier this year it was announced that William Shatner would be releasing a metal album (of all things), featuring contributions from artists like Peter Frampton, Bootsy Collins, Brian May and former Ozzy Osbourne cohorts Mike Inez and Zakk Wylde, both of whom appear on Shatner's cover of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." That particular cover has now been tossed out into the world and you can listen at your own risk below. Other famous tracks looking to get Shat on include "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Space Odyssey," "Rocket Man" and ... okay, we'll stop there to lessen the pain. Check it out below.

Captain Kirk is headed back to space.
William Shatner, the Emmy winning TV icon, announced the track listing and details for his new space-inspired cover album, Searching For Major Tom. The album will feature a large number of heavy metal covers, as well as songs by U2, Frank Sinatra, Queen and Pink Floyd.
Shatner has had a storied music career, producing confusing, parodied yet somehow enlightening song covers and original bits over the past 40+ years. His first album, The Transformed Man, raised eyebrows with its bizarre covers, which, in what would become his trademark style, boasted dramatic readings of lyrics over music. HIs best known track was a recording of Sonny & Cher's "Mr. Tambourine Man." Check out Urlesque's ranking of his ten best cover songs here.
Shatner announced the album via Twitter back in February.

William Shatner will be presented with the honorary Headbanger Award at the upcoming 2011 Revolver Golden Gods Award Show in Los Angeles.
The odd accolade, which Shatner will pick up in person at the ceremony on 20 April, is handed out annually by editors at Revolver magazine and is given to someone who has "made their name outside of the metal world but still embodies its spirit".
Later this year, Shatner will release a new album, Seeking Major Tom (Cleopatra), which features collaborations with hard-rock royalty, including Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice of Deep Purple, and Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and Mike Inez of Alice in Chains, who join the Star Trek icon for a cover of Black Sabbath's Iron Man.

Singer Layne Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002.
By Gil Kaufman

The death on Tuesday of former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr continued the tragic legacy of one of the most beloved bands to emerge out of the early 1990s grunge scene in Seattle.
Largely because of late singer Layne Staley's debilitating drug addiction, in their heyday, Aic were known almost as much for their long periods of inactivity as they were for their gloom-laden, brooding music.
Melding hard-rock guitars and the sludgy grunge aesthetic of the time, Aic stood out from the pack thanks to their adoption of a more classic heavy-metal sound and intense, almost unrelentingly bleak lyrics that touched on everything from drug addiction and isolation to the plight of Vietnam veterans.
The seeds of the group were formed in 1986, when a then-teenage Staley quit his first group, Sleeze, and formed a new band,...

Former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead Tuesday afternoon (March 8).
TMZ reports that police found Starr's body in a Salt Lake City, Utah, house at 1:42 p.m. He was 44 years old.
A co-founding member of the pioneering Seattle grunge band, Starr appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" in 2009. He was arrested last month for felony possession of a controlled substance. Salt Lake City police said he had several painkillers on him when he was arrested. Alice in Chains have written heart-wrenching and evocative songs about drug addiction.
Former singer Layne Staley died in spring 2002 after overdosing on a mixture of heroin and cocaine, commonly known as a "speedball." The group mounted a successful comeback with 2009's Black Gives Way to Blue, which featured new vocalist William DuVall alongside guitarist Jerry Cantrell,...

Oakland — Just in time for the holiday season, the Gravy has arrived.
Saint Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie opens up in various theaters across America at the start of December. Wavy Gravy is an icon with an ever changing career. He’s gone from the legendary Merry Pranksters to the head of security at the original Woodstock to running a respected charity and finally achieving international greatness as a flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. The many facets of his life are covered in the documentary directed by Michelle Esrick.

Also, that Ryan Murphy ("Glee") is involved in a capacity not yet known. (Collider)

The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival is set to run June 17-27 in a brand new location. Oh, it’s still in L.A, but it’s moving across town, from Westwood — where it’s been held the past few years — all the way over to Downtown.
The main “hub” for the fest will be the new L.A. Live complex, but there will also be screenings at other locations, such as the Downtown Independent and Redcat theaters. The city is really trying to build downtown up into a major arts and culture hub, so the festival moving there fits in with that agenda. Film Independent, the organization that runs Laff, also runs the annual Independent Spirit Awards, an event that also moved downtown — from Santa Monica — this year.

Alice In Chains have earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Hard Performance” for “Check My Brain,” the No. 1 hit single from the band’s new album Black Gives Way To Blue. Fueled by the chart-topping track, which hit No. 1 on the Modern, Active and Rock formats and was hailed by Spin magazine as “one of the catchiest songs of Alice In Chains' history,” the album entered Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 5, with first-week sales exceeding 126,000 copies.
The quartet (guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell, guitarist/vocalist William DuVall, drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Inez) is maintaining momentum with second single “Your Decision,” which was this week’s No. 1 Most Added track at Modern and Active Rock. Earlier this week, the video for “Your Decision” premiered on iTunes and shot to No. 1 on their Rock Video Chart. Stephen Schuster, who they previously worked with on the video for “A...

Alice in Chains, the Seattle band who first exploded onto the scene in the early '90s as part of the great grunge movement, is set to release it's first new album in 14 years in September. The album is called Black Gives Way to Blue and the title track will feature a guest spot by Elton John. The veteran rocker lent his piano playing to the song, which pays tribute to late Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley, who died in 2002. (The current incarnation of the band is co-fronted by Comes With the Fall singer William DuVall, who sounds remarkably like Staley.)
Sadly, surviving Alice in Chains members Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney and Mike Inez know their way around such tributes. Back in 1992, "Would?" marked their first tribute track, which was recorded and released in memory of late Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood (who died of a heroin overdose in 1990). "Would?...
