Michael Jackson Guitarist Orianthi Is ‘Bringing The ’80s Back’ With Debut

Posted on October 26, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| 1 Comment

‘It’s a big-sounding record, and I’m super proud of it,’ says Australian musician, featured in ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It.’ By Eric Ditzian Orianthi Photo: MTV News It’s been quite a year for Australian guitarist Orianthi . In February, she shared the stage with Carrie Underwood at the Grammys and ripped a killer solo during “Last Name” that had the country superstar happily head-banging next to her. From there, she scored an audition for Michael Jackson’s planned This Is It concert series and landed the gig after wowing the King of Pop with an athletic take on “Bad.” This week might be the wildest yet for the 24-year-old musician.

The comedy icon made pie-in-the-face gag a pop-culture phenomenon. By Gil Kaufman Soupy Sales in 2001 Photo: Scott Gries/ Getty Images It was a simple gag, but one that made Soupy Sales a household name: a pie in the face, or 20,000 pies, to be exact. That slapstick comedic trick, along with a warehouse of goofy faces and wacky characters helped elevate Sales (born Milton Supman) to one of the country’s most beloved comedians in the late 1950s.

Sen. Graham: ‘We need to use the coal that God has given us’

Posted on October 22, 2009 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) has announced that he is willing to support some form of climate change legislation, but only if the current Kerry-Boxer bill is overhauled to look a lot more like a traditional Republican program of energy independence. “There will be no climate change bill with my vote unless you have offshore oil drilling,” Graham told Fox News on Thursday. “I won't vote for any climate change bill that doesn't allow a dramatic increase in nuclear power.
