We're staying on top of the latest,biggest and best this week,as we always do here.We have the main trailer for the scifi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt,which opened Friday.There are also two film clips from the Rolling Stones' 14 On Fire Tour,currently rocking its way through Europe to sellout crowds.These are very recent promos from Lisbon and Zurich,so you get a sense of how the band is doing and the atmosphere that surrounds them.Well,if you can't actually attend or get a good seat,I've got you covered.
In "Jumping Jack Flash" you get one of the Stones' biggest hits.Fans never tire of it.In this Rio version from 2006,you can see Keith Richards jamming with Darryl Jones,the band's longtime bass player.The colossal crowd is beside itself.As you see in the Zurich and Lisbon clips,the Stones can still generate that kind of excitement today.The upcoming dates are:
7 June-Landgraff,Netherlands-Pinkpop Festival
10 June-Berlin,Germany-Waldbuhne
13 June-Paris,France-Stade de France
16 June-Vienna,Austria-Ernst Happel Stadium
19 June-Dusseldorf,Germany-Esprit Arena
Tickets were still available as of Friday for the 3 July show in Roskilde,Denmark at the Roskilde Festival.*
Canadian singer songwriter Neil Young generated plenty of excitement himself when he rocked hard on Saturday Night Live in "Rockin In The Free World,"a socially conscious number dealing with homelessness and the environment,among other topics.Young spent a number of years as a member of the band Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young and has appeared regularly in the annual Farm Aid concerts.*
A fresh face for most of us is that of the Brazilian star Claudia Leitte,33,who made her international debut with Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez in the official FIFA World Cup song."Largadinho" is one of her biggest hits:
"So let your body loose and do the lazy groove
Lazy groove,lazy groove
Move your arms around like you've got nothing to lose
Lazy groove,lazy groove"
It's from her latest album "Axemusic-Ao Vivo"(2014).
Her full name is Claudia Cristina Leite Inacio Pedreira.Fans call her "Claudinha." Born in Sao Goncalo,Rio de Janeiro,she was a member of the band Babado Novo from 2001-8.Now she has signed with the Roc Nation organisation,hoping to achieve more internationally.Roc Nation records are distributed by Universal Music Group.*
The high achievers in ladies' golf are in Waterloo,Ontario this weekend for the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic.In second round action Friday,China's Shanshan Feng shot an eleven under par 65 to share the lead with the defending champion,South Korea's Hee Young Park,who shot a 66.American Michelle Wie continued her successful season with sole possession of third after her ten under par 67,and Anna Nordqvist of Sweden was nine under par for fourth place on the leader board,having shot a spectacular second round 64.
