Jennifer Lopez,World Cup Official Song,14 On Fire Tour

The sights and sounds of today and of all time are in the entertainment sack tonight.Two new releases are here in Jennifer Lopez's new single "First Love" and Pitbull's "We Are One(Ole Ola)." JLO's studio track with bright dayglo lyrics is proving to be a favourite with the audience.It's from her new album "A.K.A." that is scheduled for release on 17 June.A really smooth song that will stay in your mind.*
The huge production of the Official Song of the FIFA World Cup by Pitbull,"We Are One(Ole Ola)" featuring Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian superstar Claudia Leitte is garnering a huge number of views as well.It's a singalong that unites the football and music fans around the globe,being sung in English,Spanish and Portuguese.
The Latina artists are really en fuego these days.Just think of JLO,Demi Lovato,Selena Gomez and,as we hear tonight,Claudia Leitte-to name a few.It's one of the biggest trends.*
We've got some film clips in the sack:another fan tribute to the in-production "Star Wars Episode VII," compiled from various past productions to get us in the Star Wars mood,plus the latest film from The Rolling Stones' 14 On Fire Tour that just resumed in Oslo,Norway on Monday and Lisbon,Portugal on Thursday.Mick Jagger loves to reach out to the fans in whatever language-even Norwegian.
The Lisbon festival show was a spectacular Midnight-2 am set before about 80,000 fans with guest artists Bruce Springsteen and Gary Clark,Jr.,as well as longtime friend and former member Mick Taylor.Former President Bill Clinton sat in the VIP section wearing a sport coat,with his Secret Service agents standing by in their black suits.Oslo was a more intimate indoor performance.
Next up for the Stones:
1 June-Zurich,Switzerland Letzigrund Stadium
4 June-Tel Aviv,Israel Hayarkon Park
7 June-Landgraaf,Netherlands Pinkpop Festival
10 June-Berlin,Germany Waldbuhne
13 June-Paris,France Stade de France
As of Thursday,tickets were still available for Tel Aviv.
But for tonight,we have an HD video of the classic "Shattered," a song about New York City performed in NYC's own Beacon Theater in 2006.You get a good look at longtime Stones bass player Darryl Jones,who replaced Bill Wyman.
"Shattered,shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still survivin' on the street
Look at me,I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered,shattered"
The half-spoken song is from their "Some Girls" album.It seems to be related to hip-hop songs.

About Today's Song "Coming Home"

"Coming Home" is by Diddy-Dirty Money,a group that was formed by hip-hop artist Sean P. Diddy Combs for his sixth studio album,"Last Train To Paris"(2010).Born Sean John Combs in Harlem,New York City,Combs,44,grew up in Mt.Vernon,New York.He attended Howard University in Washington,DC,studying business.*
Beginning his career as a record producer and developer of talent,he eventually recorded his own material for his first album,"No Way Out,"which won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.A song from that album,"I'll Be Missing You,"also won a 1998 Grammy for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.The video for the song won a 1997 MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video.*
"Coming Home" was one of four singles released from "Last Train To Paris."It reached #12 on the Billboard US Hot 100;#4 in the UK;and #7 in Canada.The album garnered both critical acclaim and airplay.*
Besides being a musician and record producer,Combs is an actor and entrepreneur,guest starring on the TV series "Hawaii Five-O" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."His clothing line "Sean John" has been both critically well-received and controversial at times.Combs was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is worth an estimated 580 million dollars,according to Forbes magazine.He has five children,including twin girls.For a time,he dated singer,dancer and actress Jennifer Lopez.
In between the tracks,this major talent has presented with a rather complex and mercurial personality over the years,as "Coming Home" suggests.
