Selena Gomez;Rory McIlroy;Suzi Quatro

Selena Gomez is a Birthday Girl this week,turning 22 on Tuesday.We're celebrating with "Who Says."The Texas native just got a new tatoo.It is in Arabic and means "love yourself."The new tatoo is on the upper right side of her back.
Selena also has her mother's birthday in Roman numerals across the back of her neck, and a musical note on her left wrist.A Bible verse adorns her hip.It is Philippians 4:13,"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."*
Rory McIlroy is celebrating his win at The Open Championship,golf's biggest tournament,which was held at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club.At 25,he has already won three of the four majors.
It's what I think about in the morning;it's what I think about when I go to bed,McIlroy said.I just want to be the best golfer I can be.*
Suzi Quatro was one of the first female rock and roll performers.She is represented by her classic "The Wild One."She has performed in Russia in recent years,including Ekaterinburg.

Demi Lovato's Garden City Show;Selena Gomez in Studio City

The summer solstice is Saturday.Happy Summer,dear readers.Many artists are currently on tour,such as The Rolling Stones and Demi Lovato,21.Demi performs a free show tomorrow at 7 pm at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City,New York.It's sponsored by Microsoft to celebrate the Grand Opening of their new store at the Mall.The Grand Opening ceremony is at 10 am.The concert gates open at 5 pm.Accuweather is calling for partly cloudy skies Saturday with a low of 64F and a high of 79,so no problem in that department for the Northeast parking lot concert.At least 1900 tickets for the event were being distributed at the Mall on Friday night.
To get an idea of what Demi is like in concert you can check out the video of "Really Don't Care" from her current Neon Lights Tour featuring Cher Lloyd.The song is the new single from her latest album DEMI.
The new Microsoft store is offering a free weekly YouthSpark summer camp for kids 8-13.They can learn to build websites and video games,direct movies and snap perfect photos,according to Microsoft.The store is located at:
Roosevelt Field Mall
630 Old Country Road,Space #1140A
Garden City,New York 11530
(516)742-8000*
Demi's close friend and fellow Latina Selena Gomez is featured here in "My Dilemma" with lyrics.It's from her Selena Gomez&The Scene album When The Sun Comes Down (2011).She turns 22 on 22 July.The Grand Prairie,Texas native still visits her home state and has some real Mexican food.Monday,however,she was seen shopping in Studio City,California in her midriff-baring blue knit and distressed jeans.The chauffered star also sported gradient sunglasses and skyhigh nude stilettos.*
The Rolling Stones have changed remarkably little in the past eight years,which is just the way their fans want it.If anything,frontman Mick Jagger looks better than he did in 2006.A graduate of The London School of Economics,he seems to be good at foreign languages.The Stones still appeal to a diverse audience of all ages.
"She's So Cold" is from their album Emotional Rescue (1980).
"She's so cold
But she's beautiful,though"
Upcoming tour dates:
22 June-Rome,Italy-Circus Maximus
25 June-Madrid,Spain-Bernabeu Stadium
28 June-Werchter,Belgium-TW Classic Festival
1 July-Stockholm,Sweden-Tele2 Arena
3 July-Roskilde,Denmark-Roskilde Festival
As of Friday,tickets were still available for the Rome and Roskilde shows.*
Transformers 4 opens on 27 June,and you can see if you might like this robot tale from the Official Trailer 2 posted here.It's a pretty generous trailer,running over two minutes.

Selena Gomez;The Rolling Stones;Mavs Stay Alive

Selena Gomez,21,tops the video show this week with another hit from her solo album "Stars Dance"(2013).You can see how well she dances in "Slow Down."Her birthday is coming up on July 22 and she has just put one of her two California homes on the market.Her full name is Selena Marie Gomez.*
We continue The Rolling Stones retrospective.If you can't catch one of their upcoming shows this summer,I've got you covered with the next best thing.It's remarkable how many hits they've had over the years:countless.Their consistency is beyond belief.
In "Happy" you get to hear Keith Richards sing the lead,which he hardly ever does.He's quite a good singer,it turns out.That was the biggest concert of all time,with an estimated 1.5 million fans gathered on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil.
You also get to see Ronnie Wood play the steel guitar,a country music instrument.*
"Bitch" is from the classic "Sticky Fingers" album released in 1971.The song was actually recorded in October 1970 and the concert was in Texas in 1972.You can see their lead guitarist of that era,Mick Taylor,standing to Mick Jagger's right-his right hand man,so to speak."Mick" is short for "Michael,"by the way.We can say that was the era of the two Micks,one of the high points of the band's life with a memorable sound.
There is also a brass section performing in this song.
"When you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov's dog
When you lay me out
My heart starts beating like a big bass drum"
"It's a bitch
Sometimes I'm sexy
Move like a stud
Kicking the stall all night"*
Well,the Dallas Mavericks were kicking the stall in Dallas Friday night as they clipped the San Antonio Spurs 113-111 in the NBA Playoffs,evening the Western Conference series to 3-3.The deciding game of this round 1 series will be Sunday in San Antonio.Monta Ellis led the Mavs with 29 points,followed by Dirk Nowitzki with 22.Tony Parker scored 22 points for the Spurs.

The Rolling Stones;Selena Gomez;The Masters

Tonight's music includes two Chuck Berry songs performed by The Rolling Stones in 1969,plus a recent Selena Gomez release."Carol" and "Little Queenie" are restored archival material from what looks like 16mm film footage.Very well done,because you can't tell there was ever a problem.The concerts took place in 1969.One of the most significant things about them is the appearance of master guitarist Mick Taylor,seen at Jagger's right,who was a new member of the Stones at that time,selected to replace original member Brian Jones.
The Hertfordshire,England native Taylor is considered by many to be the Stones' most accomplished guitarist in their career.He was a full time member of the band from 1969-74,and they were shocked when he quit,partly to get away from the drug problems of that era and partly because of clashes with Keith Richards,as well as songwriting credits he felt he was not getting.Taylor says he always felt he would not be with the Stones indefinitely.He was in turn replaced by Ronnie Wood.
Taylor was a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers from 1966-69 before he auditioned for the Stones at a recording session,having been recommended by John Mayall.He didn't realise it was an audition.He just thought it was session work,but Jagger enjoyed his melodic style of playing.Taylor played on some of the Stones' classic albums,including Let It Bleed;Sticky Fingers;and Exile On Main Street.He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the Stones in 1989.
Rolling Stone magazine ranks Taylor as number 37 on its list of 100 greatest guitarists of all time.After the Stones,he went on to work with artists such as Jack Bruce and Bob Dylan.In 2010,he and Jagger went back into the studio to finish the previously unreleased track "Plundered My Soul" for the 2010 re-release of the LP Exile On Main Street.
Since late 2012,Taylor has been appearing with the Stones onstage again,including every date of their 2013 North American tour and at the Glastonbury Festival in England in June,2013.*
Selena Gomez's "Love You Like A Love Song"(MTV Version) was posted to YouTube in February.It had 493 likes and 23 dislikes as of Thursday,out of 81,603 views.The video gives a nod to her Mexican heritage with a pinata scene among Mexican musicians.There is also a sitar player in it.Not sure what India means to Selena-it is also given a nod in "Come&Get It" that was featured here a short while ago.*
The Masters is underway at the vast,difficult course of Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.As the course continues to dry out this weekend,it will play even faster and harder.American Bubba Watson,the 2012 winner,has the early lead at seven under par,while John Senden of Australia is second at -4,and a number of golfers are tied for third at -3,including defending champion Australian Adam Scott and Sweden's Jonas Blixt.The tournament was conceived as a special event that would capture the spirit of golf.

Demi Lovato;Selena Gomez;Michigan State

Today's videos feature two American women who happen to be close friends.Demi(Demetria) Lovato and Selena Gomez are both 21,and both are of Mexican descent.
Lovato is a native of Albuquerque,New Mexico,while Gomez hails from Grand Prairie,Texas.
The two Christians met as child stars on the "Barney&Friends" TV set,then graduated to the Disney Channel,starring together in the TV movie "Princess Protection Program."Lovato is currently appearing in the fifth season of "Glee,"and Gomez has been doing film work in "Behaving Badly,"scheduled for a September 2014 release.
They have a huge fan base,with many being fans of both artists.Both stars have been in rehab for one reason or another.
Of the two,Lovato is the power singer,said to have a full voice range of three octaves above middle C.It's a talent that commands so much respect,I wanted to share at least two of her videos."Give Your Heart A Break" is a live TV performance from 2012 of Lovato's colossal hit from her third album "Unbroken,"while "Let It Go" is the official single from the Disney blockbuster "Frozen."It was posted to YouTube four months ago and had 112,898,696 views as of Thursday afternoon.
Gomez's "Come&Get It" from her first solo LP "Stars Dance"(2013)is fascinating in that it draws on Indian influences.The video affords a spectacular natural setting for Gomez's sultry hit,which had 225,046,104 views.The album debuted at number one on the Billboard chart.*
In NCAA men's basketball,number one Virginia was sent home by number four Michigan State Firday night at Madison Square Garden.The Spartans slipped by the Cavaliers 61-59,led by Brandon Davison's 24 points.Joe Harris and Malcolm Brogden scored 17 points each for Virginia.The Cavs were slightly less accurate with their free throws.
