Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Like Hollywood, travel is a glamor industry. Pictures of people on sunny beaches, partying on Las Vegas pool decks, clinking glasses aboard cruise ships or splashing in crystal-clear waters from Bali to Bermuda are designed to do only thing: sell travel and experiences. Hollywood helps sell tourism too. There’s a reason why people long to walk where their favorite characters did, whether it’s an isolated peninsula in Spain where “Game of Thrones” was filmed, or fancy hotels where the women of” Sex and the City” frolicked. HBO’s "White Lotus” will no doubt drive tourists to its first and second season locations of Hawaii and Sicily. But there is a large gap between the expansive, expensive picture the travel industry likes to paint, and the reality. In a perceptive article in The Street , “The Future of Travel is a Three-Star Hotel”, writer Veronika Bondarenkonov writes that for many properties, the goal is attracting … [Read more...] about Is The Future Of Travel Really The Three-Star Hotel?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin After decades in the business, country artist Jamie O’Neal has released her first Christmas album. The platinum-selling entertainer whose songs hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2000, 2001 (“There Is No Arizona,” “When I Think About Angels”), and 2005 (“Somebody’s Hero,” and “Trying To Find Atlantis”) says Spirit & Joy is something she’s wanted to do since writing a holiday song during the COVID pandemic. Intermittently pressing pause on her recording career to focus on parenting, the Academy of Country Music and Billboard Award winner says these days there’s been a lot of content development and studio time, especially since she and husband, platinum recording engineer Rodney Good, are now empty nesters. Watch “Please Come Home For Christmas” featuring Jamie O’Neal and Rodney Good. Music has always been a family affair for O’Neal and Spirit & Joy channels that while capturing her … [Read more...] about Jamie O’Neal’s ‘Spirit And Joy’ Influenced By Family And Mental Health Awareness

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The legendary George Jones and Tammy Wynette had distinctive vocal styles that set each of them apart from anyone else in country music. Both had their own iconic songs as solo artists with Jones best known for “He Stopped Living Her Today,” and Wynette’s for her signature song “Stand By Your Man.” And when they blended their voices together, they were a country music power couple with duets like “Golden Ring,” “Two Story House,” and “We’re Gonna Hold On.” In the early 70s, George & Tammy were a famous duo both on and off stage. They were married for six years, but ended up staying duet partners for much longer. After their divorce, they shared a special bond that stretched far beyond their time together as a couple. A new six-part mini-series, which debuts on “Showtime” and Paramount” Sunday night (December 4 th ) aims to tell part of that story. Early this month in Nashville, Actors Michael Shannon and … [Read more...] about Michael Shannon & Jessica Chastain Are ‘George & Tammy’ In New Showtime Mini-Series

Kim Jin-sun The author is the president of the Korean Movie Theaters Association. Movie theaters that struggled through the Covid-19 pandemic are on the rebound. Based on their third quarter performance, the industry seems to be reviving. CJ CGV, a listed company, announced that it recorded its first third quarter operating profit since Covid-19 began. Lotte Cinema and Megabox are also known to have made operating profits. This was possible because “The Roundup” got rave reviews and became the first movie to sell 10 million tickets since Covid-19. Also, four Korean movies were released one week apart during the peak summer season and “Confidential Assignment 2: International” opened during the Chuseok holiday. On the surface, theaters seem to have left the pandemic behind after social distancing measures were lifted in late April. But if you look below the surface, there are still challenges. Four Korean movies released in the summer season aiming to attract 10 million … [Read more...] about Korea’s Dream Factory deserves help

We’re growing concerned about a number of celebrities who, alarmingly, are never seen wearing clothes. Do they own any? Does Hollywood’s only dry cleaner keep odd hours? The Daily Caller is here to investigate. 1. Jennifer Lopez Jenny from the Block keeps it pretty skimpy pretty much all the time. 2. Paris Hilton Paris is apparently a DJ now, most likely because it’s one job that doesn’t come with a dress code, which she seems pretty happy about. 3. Cara Delevingne This Victoria’s Secret angel loves her angles, but steers clear of clothes. 4. Selena Gomez Gomez follows the same trend as Delevingne, which seems sensible since the two are close now. 5. Rihanna I actually don’t think Rihanna owns clothes. 6. Kendall Jenner Taking lessons from her bigger sister, Kendall has traded in her clothes for…nothing. Or next to it. 7. Lea Michele The “Glee” star is really enjoying her summer vacation, and she certainly didn’t pack any clothes in her … [Read more...] about Do These Celebrities EVER Wear Clothes?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin When brothers Charles and Warren McArthur first got the idea for a hotel resort near Scottsdale, Arizona, in the 1910s, they knew exactly who to call: their third brother, Albert Chase McArthur, an architect who at the time was working alongside Frank Lloyd Wright. McArthur went on to design perhaps the greatest feat of his career: the Arizona Biltmore , a Waldorf Astoria resort, which today remains one of the only existing luxury hotels influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, cementing the property’s position as an architectural masterpiece. Affectionately termed the ‘Jewel of the Desert’, the Biltmore is legendary in these parts. The resort has hosted presidents, dignitaries, and the dazzling elite of every generation—think Marilyn by the pool and Sinatra at the bar. So revered is its history that even today, the resort honors its past with on-site history tours, free to guests, hosted by one of the Biltmore’s resident … [Read more...] about The Iconic Arizona Biltmore Has Retained Its Effortless Style For Almost A Century—Surviving Renovations, Sales, And Upheavals

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been busy. The Spotify ‘Archetypes’ podcast has aired its final production, and though there seems to have been some impusle for revision of both their long-awaited Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir of growing up royal, Spare, we have been given an early-January publishing date for the book for the better part of a month now, and some wisps of rumor have seeped out of Hollywood that the Netflix documentary is about to be posted. All good for the Windsors of Montecito, in a word, but casting the ball forward, their financial lives do depend upon the success of these vehicles, and as is well known in publishing and in entertainment circles, this — the marketing of personal narratives — is the most fraught shark pool any young entrepeneur could possibly cast his or her fate in. … [Read more...] about Prince Harry’s 2022 Do-List Wraps: ‘Archetypes’ First Season Ends, His Netflix “Reality” Documentary And His Memoir Are Poised To Drop

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Decidedly un-athletic but ebullient gab-fest host and jolly British man driving-about-Los Angeles-with-rock-stars-singing-in-his-car James Corden has, through no fault of his own, become an amusing political football himself in the World Cup rivalry between England and Team USA. It began with a small conflagration on November 25, as a shopworn-looking English squad, led by an even more tired-looking Harry Kane, took to the field to slog out their painful goose-egg draw with a fit, young, quite well-turned out crew of Americans. Both teams have since survived that zero-sum defensive slugfest to go on to the World Cup’s version of the Sweet 16, and, we hope for both teams that they’ll get quite a lot further in the tourney. But in the feverish November 25 runup to England/USA, the transatlantic fan-hivemind on social media seized on Corden with a vengeance, and, for a while anyway, just wouldn’t let the man go. It was a … [Read more...] about James Corden And The World Cup: How A Comedian Became The Unwitting ‘Football’ Between England And The USA
