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.

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.

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.
