Tonight we have mostly new items in our entertainment sack.Indeed,"Star Wars Episode VII" has just started filming and won't be released till December 2015.It will be the first episode of the saga to be filmed since Disney acquired it.*
Shakira's new video "Dare(La La La)" is from her 2014 album "Shakira" that has reached number 2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.The video is in honour of the 2014 World Cup this summer in Rio de Janeiro.*
Coldplay's "Always In My Head" is a pre-release performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.It's from the British band's new album "Ghost Stories" that comes out on 19 May.You also get a glimpse of Jimmy Fallon,The Tonight Show's new host following the retirement of Jay Leno.You can't get any newer than this video.*
Then we have "Tumbling Dice" in a 1995 live performance.It's got to be one of The Rolling Stone's hottest videos,from the yellow-orange lighting to backup singer Lisa Fischer grinding her hips.
"Tumbling Dice" is from what many considered the Stones' greatest LP,the double album "Exile On Main Street"(1972,remastered and re-released with 10 additional songs in 2010).Produced by Jimmy Miller with engineers Glyn and Andy Johns,the tracks were recorded from June 1969 to March 1972 in London;Nellcote,France;and Los Angeles.In 2010,ten extra tracks were discovered in the vault and the Stones decided to release them along with the re-mastered original tracks.
Mick Jagger re-recorded the lead vocals for most of the rediscovered tracks in Los Angeles in 2010,and Mick Taylor added a guitar part.Backup singers Lisa Fischer and Cindy Mizelle also worked on the extra tracks.So we can say this massive,critically acclaimed album was actually recorded over many decades,from 1969-2010.The 2010 version of "Exile On Main Street" reached number 1 in Britian and number 2 on the US charts.*
The Los Angeles Clippers lost Game 3 of their series with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Playoffs Friday night 118-112,giving the Thunder a 2-1 lead.The Thunder were powered by 2014 MVP Kevin Durant and his 36 points,while Blake Griffin led the Clippers with 34 points.
We just weathered the storm,Durant said.Every run they made,we just kept fighting.*
Celebrity-cam picked out Rihanna among the fans enjoying the game at Staples Center in Los Angeles.She was wearing a black headband and several rings.

Paramore's Hayley Williams;Canada's New Tennis Star
This week I have posted a live performance of "Misery Business" by Paramore and Shakira's new single "Can't Remember To Forget You" featuring Rihanna.The Shakira song is from her new album,which is slated for a March 25 release.A video of the song is forthcoming shortly.
Paramore has been touring in Australia recently.Singer/songwriter Hayley Williams,along with guitarist Taylor York and bass player Jeremy Davis,comprise the group.Williams,25,is a native of the Deep South.Born in Meridian,Mississippi,she moved to Franklin,Tennessee when her parents divorced in 2002 and still lives there.A precocious talent,by age 14 she was co-writing pop songs in Nashville.
Williams was soon signed by Atlantic Records and insisted on being part of an alternative rock group,not a solo pop artist as Atlantic wanted.The label changed its mind and Paramore was formed.Their first album was released in 2005 on Atlantic's niche label Fueled by Ramen when Williams was 16.Three more have followed,the latest being "Paramore."
In 2010,Williams reached the Top 10,being featured with rapper B.o.B. in his song "Airplane,"which went to number one in the UK and New Zealand.The eldest of three sisters,she is a Christian.
Williams seems to prefer making funny faces when she is photographed.It is rather hard to find recent straight-faced photos of her.She has more than four million Facebook likes.*
The Australian Open is well underway in Melbourne,and Canada's Eugenie Bouchard,19,is all the rage there.An attractive blonde,she has a boisterous male fan club attired in appropriate t-shirts,singing and chanting loudly at her matches.The Montrealer has reached the fourth round,the farthest she has ever gotten in a Grand Slam tournament.
Another glam girl,Maria Sharapova of Russia,has also advanced to the fourth round.*
The New York Knicks did not advance their cause,being blown out by the first place Los Angeles Clippers 109-95 Friday night.Carmelo Anthony did achieve a team milestone with his 26 points and season-high 20 rebounds.He is the first Knick since 2010 to score 25 points and 20 rebounds.
