Celebrity baseball fever, catch it with Billy Crystal

So the commissioner’s office granting Billy Crystal permission to suit up as a New York Yankee for a spring game Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates—a charming experiment or a harmful pattern?I mean, for a major-league team to actually sign a comedian and actor to a one-day contract this way?”My only concern for Billy is that [...]

Stars, diamonds, ostrich- feather fans … this celebrity …

Sport Relief Does The Apprentice (BBC1) is the strident child of charity and celebrity. The sport is in putting five celebrities in a sack and waiting for them to start killing each other. You won’t wait long. Sir Alan Sugar ran through their claims to fame in case, as he said drily, “Some of the viewers [...]

Handbags clobbered by celebrity fatigue

It’s all over for the “it” bag - or so says consumer research specialist Mintel. Fashion shoppers - mostly female - are finally losing their passion for celebrity-endorsed handbags that can cost thousands of pounds each. The market for big-ticket, big-name bags, as sported by the likes of Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham, has been expanding [...]

How SXSW parties kick it VIP-style

When Kirsten Dunst was spotted last year during South by Southwest, the A-list star most certainly was not languishing in a long line or grooving with the festival masses. Rather she was, as one American-Statesman staffer blogged, ” … at the Spin Party, watching Kings of Leon and puffing cigarette after cigarette.” That’s right, like [...]

Bz Bz Ueu Biography

The power-charged avant-punk group Bz Bz Ueu is Italy's answer to Ne Zhdali. Backing cut-and-paste quirkiness with the use of horns (sax and trumpet) and tons of children toys, this band's music is one hell of a ride. There are only a few CD EPs and singles available, all released in Italy. The nucleus of Bz Bz Ueu formed around 1992. Bassist Pino Montecalvo and guitarist Efisio Biancofiore began to write songs together at that time. The addition of drummer Carlo Lupori, who saw them perform in a local bar with a drum machine, opened more possibilities in terms of stamina. By the end of 1994, the group had expanded to a quintet with trumpeter Edy Leo and saxophonist Jacopo Andreini. A first, eponymous CD EP came out in 1995, presenting their own brew of punk rock and hardcore-jazz. Sounding like the Ex meets the circus of European rockers Ne Zhdali or Uz Jsme Doma, the album gathered good reviews locally and attracted the attention of American punkers God Is My Co-Pilot. The label Music 'a la Coque, established by Montecalvo to produce the band's music, released in 1996 and 1998 two split 7" with God-Co and the spin-off No. These failed to draw enough international attention for the band at least to allow them to perform outside Italy or land a record deal. A second CD EP, Uhozmerigotz, was released in late 2000, showing a clear evolution toward the wacky side of things with the addition of toys, animal calls, and other miscellaneous items, while sticking to up-tempo punk energy. ~ François Couture, All Music Guide
