Jerry Lewis on Gun Charges


In a few days Jerry Lewis will be back in his familiar role hosting the 43rd Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, but earlier this summer he made headlines for a different reason.



Police confiscated a gun from his bag at the Las Vegas Airport in late July, only Jerry says it was all a big mistake.



"I had a gun in my briefcase and I didn't commend," he tells Extra. "It was made as a gift to me by a gunmaker in Ohio. He gave it to me as a natural endowment and I put it in my case." however Jerry testament most likely not be facing jail time, expression, "I got fined and I have to go to court."



Although he's a familiar side on TV due to his annual telethon, Jerry says he still might return to the grown screen.



"If I get the right material," he says.



Don't expect to see Jerry on anything like Dancing With the Stars or other reality TV, he's definitely non a fan. "I preserve [it]in the toilet where it belongs," he says of the phenomenon.



Check out th rest of Jerry's question tonight on Extra.

New York's Interpol reminds anyone wHO has of all time heard post-punk bands like Joy Division and the Chameleons of those exact bands, plus a few more. The roots of the band -- as far as its members are considered -- bum be traced game to a partnership between Daniel Kessler (a guitar player and vocalist) and a fellow New York University pupil named Greg Drudy (a drummer). Kessler stricken up a friendly family relationship with some other NYU pupil, Carlos Dengler, wHO had antecedently played guitar and felt like decent knotty with music for a second time. He took up the sea bass and keyboard duties. And by downright happenstance, Kessler afterwards bumped into Paul Banks, a guitarist/vocalist he knew from time played out in France. With the lineup colonized, Interpol became a entire active band in 1998. After the band's first gear base gigs in early 2000, Drudy vacated his posture and was replaced by Sam Fogarino.


They started playing knocked out ofttimes, including regular appearances at clubs in and about New York like Brownie's and the Mercury Lounge. A brief term of enlistment of the U.K. in April 2001 was punctuated by a wireless academic session for John Peel's BBC political program; at that point, the band was touring in keep of a limited edition EP released through the Chemikal Underground label's Fukd I.D. series. (They had besides appeared on a compiling that was released just now prior to Fukd I.D. called Clooney Tunes for another U.K. indie, Fierce Panda.) 2001 as well sawing machine a self-released EP from the ring and another compiling appearing on Arena Rock's This Is Next Year, a double-disc localise of Brooklyn-area acts of the Apostles. Matador signed the dance orchestra in 2002 and issued a three-song single and the band's debut LP (Turn on the Bright Lights) by year's ending. The album made the band indie stars, and extensive touring around the world followed. Just prior to cathartic their bit record album (Antics) in September 2004, they open for the Cure as part of that band's Curiosa Festival. Our Love to Admire, the band's first base album for a major label (Capitol), was released in 2007.

Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey, was the drummer in the Beatles from 1962 to 1970 and thus one of the nigh celebrated musicians of the '60s. Though the least prominent member of the four, he grand himself as an occasional singer of good-natured material and as an histrion. Upon the group's split, Starr went solo with 2 freshness projects: the first base, an album called Hokey Journey, constitute him coating pre-rock standards, and the minute, Beaucoups of Blues, was a country medicine compendium.


Starr so scored Top Ten hits with 2 non-album singles, "It Don't Come Easy" in 1971 and "Back Off Boogaloo" in 1972. In 1973 he paired with producer Richard Perry and, with assist from the troika other ex-Beatles, made Ringo, which featured two issue i hits, "Snap" and "You're Sixteen." "Oh My My," a Top Ten hit, was too included. Almost as successful was the 1974 followup, Goodnight Vienna, which featured the hits "Only You" and "No No Song."


Starkey continued to outlet albums through and through 1981, though with diminishing success. His 1983 album Old Wave did not find a U.S. distributer. Starr was also distress from the excesses of his life-style, just by the former '80s he had cleaned up, and in 1989 he toured with his "All-Starr Band." In 1992, he signed to Private Music and released a new studio record album, Sentence Takes Time. Vertical Man, his low gear record album for Mercury, followed in 1998, as did a disk culled from his public presentation on the VH1 Storytellers series. Starr's low gear seasonal endeavour, I Wanna Be Santa Claus, appeared a class later. Two studio records appeared during the early 2000s: Ringorama from 2003 and Choose Love deuce long time later. In 2006 he made a guest appearing on Jerry Lee Lewis' album Last Man Standing and toured with another edition of his All-Starr Band, this time featuring Sheila E. and Edgar Winter. The 2007 release PBS Soundstage Live featured a show recorded two long time earlier in Chicago. Also released in 2007 was the definitive Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.

Winehouse told to stop flirting in court

Troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse has been warned for flirting in court.

The star, who was attending husband Blake Fielder-Civil’s pre-trial hearing for grievous bodily harm and attempting to pervert the course of justice, mouthed words to Blake for more than an hour before being ordered to stop by officials.

Amy - who was wearing a short blue dress - was clearly seen silently saying "I love you" and was blowing kisses to her husband.

The 24-year-old star played with her hair and a silver chain around her neck and at one point patted the empty seat next to her and mouthed "come sit here next to me," to Blake.

When she was told to stop, she stood and declared "you’re fit" to Blake before walking out of Snaresbrook Crown Court, East London. The hearing continued after she left.

As she left, Amy responded to inquires as to how her husband was looking by saying: “Gorgeous ... haven’t you seen him?”

Blake denies causing GBH with intent to pub landlord James King, of the White House, Risley Hall, Derbyshire, and a further charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice.

James Kennedy, 19, of Hatfield, Hertfordshire is also accused in the case.

After disbanding Soft Cell, vocalist Marc Almond chased a solo career that followed the same mistily sleazy, electronic dance-pop his former grouping had made popular. Almond's military capability was never his personality -- his voice tends to weave around the notes or else of hit them. It was the atmosphere he created with the synths and drum machines. Underneath all of the electronics and disco rhythms, Almond harked back to the days of cabaret singers, updating that profound for the saltation clubs of the '80s.


Before he properly started a solo career, Almond formed Marc & the Mambas, a loose congregation that featured Matt Johnson of The The and Annie Hogan. Ungentle (1982), the group's number one album, featured covers of Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, and Jacques Brel; end-to-end his career, Almond would cover the songs of Brel, which he had knowledgeable from the records of Scott Walker. Like Walker, Almond ill-used Brel's heavily orchestrated compositions and social ruminations as a starting point, both musically and lyrically -- Almond added a self-aware element of camp with his Euro-disco and on occasion bum lyrics. Harassment & Toreros (1983), Marc & the Mambas' second album, explored this path in more item than Ignoble, just to an orchestral background. After its waiver, the radical stone-broke up.


Almond formed the patronage chemical group the Willing Sinners in 1984, releasing Vermin in Ermine in 1984. Almond began to hit his footstep with this album, which fulfilled most of his campy night club fantasies. Stories of Johnny, released the following year, was more cohesive, spawning a British hit with the title birdcall. Even though he retained a cult following in England and various parts of Europe, his records were non organism released in the U.S.


In 1987, Almond released Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters, his first-class honours degree proper solo album and his bleakest turn to date; a digest, Singles: 1984-1987, appeared the same year. Stars We Are, released the following year, was a brighter, more welcoming record album that revived his commercial career. In addition to a couple with Nico on "Your Kisses Burn," Almond dueted with Gene Pitney on Pitney's have "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart," which became a number nonpareil single. Stars We Are besides became his number one album released in the U.S. since Soft Cell.


Almond followed the success of Stars We Are in 1990 with the pet project Jacques, a collection of Brel songs. That same year, he released Enchanted, which was more successful than Jacques, yet didn't attain the high of Stars We Are. In 1991, he released The Tenement Symphony, and in 1993, a live album entitled Dozen Years of Tears, followed by a mate of albums on EMI. Almond then switched over to New York main Thirsty Ear, wHO reissued some of his material, and then once again to Instinct with his 1999 waiver Open All Night. Through the early 2000s, Almond stayed engaged cathartic archived live performances on both CD and DVD as good as issuing the studio efforts Stranger Things (2001) and Substance on Snow (2003) for yet another label, Psychobaby. Almond continued to indite during this menstruum, publishing a jaunt leger called In Search of the Pleasure Palace: Disreputable Travels in 2004.


Things took a turn for the worse shortly afterwards the leger came proscribed; Almond was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in October of that year and spent the majority of the undermentioned yr convalescent from the incident. Almond resumed recording in 2006 and released an record album of cover songs, Stardom Road, the following summertime. Another full-length release, Dining with Panthers, was said to be in the deeds for 2008.

Demon Hunter

JOHN ELLIS AND DOUBLE-WIDE

Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow (Hyena): A-

The tutelage of Ellis Marsalis is readily apparent in the work of ex-Charlie Hunter band saxophonist Ellis, and explains how the blood of New Orleans flows within the native North Carolinian. Forming a new band with only sousaphone (Matt Perrine), organ (Gary Versace) and drums (Jason Marsalis) behind him is a stroke of genius. With the sousaphone playing the bass-like beat of a tuba in the second-line tradition, Ellis has the freedom to explore grooves as unfettered as their titles (“Tattooed Teen Waltzes with Grandma”). As the album’s title suggests, the playfulness is enough to compel you to reach for the nearest umbrella and kick up your heels. Download: “Three-Legged Tango in Jackson.”
(Appearing Wednesday at the Regattabar, Cambridge.)

Take That star to pen musical drama

Gary Barlow is set to write a new musical drama set in a fictional performing arts school.
The Take That star will pen songs for Britannia High, an eight-part musical drama which will air on ITV1 later this year.
Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips will also be part of the project and will choreograph the series.
The drama will be preceded by two behind the scenes documentaries which will show how Phillips and theatre producer David Ian select actors and actresses to become the stars of the show.
Viewers will also see how Barlow creates the musical numbers for the series and how Phillips teaches her routines.
Eight hour-long episodes will then follow the progress of the group of pupils practising for a live finale.
Paul Jackson, ITV director of entertainment, said the show's format was not "like anything else on British television and we're confident audiences are going to love it".
"ITV1 has lined up some of the biggest names in music and entertainment to make Britannia High," he said.

UCLA Medical Center declined to confirm if Spears was a patient, citing confidentiality.
Spears' parents and Lufti were pictured leaving the hospital on Thursday. When asked if her daughter was "OK" by reporters, the singer's mother Lynne said: "Yes."
Friends and family have said they believe that the 26-year-old is suffering from bipolar disorder or other psychiatric problems.

The source said that the "intervention" by Spears' family and psychiatrist had been planned for a number of days.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness in the US has pleaded for Spears' privacy during her treatment.

Laura Barton: Hail, Hail, Rock'n'Roll

The Chapel of St Barnabas sits on Manette Street, between the scuffle of Charing Cross Road and the bluster of Greek Street, at the very edge of Soho. Past the Borderline, before the Pillars of Hercules, a nondescript metal gate leads to a low, huddled doorway and on through a dim passage to the chapel itself, where stands an altar with soft red marble pillars. From time to time, musical performances are held here, before the rows of chairs set out in lieu of pews, in the space beneath the blue semi-dome painted with golden stars, in a small, calm clearing that somehow makes me think of that Lorca line: "The still pool of your mouth, under a thicket of kisses."










A little while ago, I was here at St Barnabas for a showcase held by XL Recordings: there were videos from the Raconteurs and Vampire Weekend, Phill Jupitus played jovial host, and the evening culminated in a live performance by Cajun Dance Party. I have, it occurred to me midway through the evening, probably been to more gigs in churches than I have religious services. From a bill featuring Belle and Sebastian and Arab Strap, to a more recent lineup of Emmy the Great, the Mountain Goats and Micah P Hinson at the Union Chapel in London. And they always enrapture me. I remember going by myself to see Sigur Rós play such a gig one early summer evening, many years ago. The air was still warm, you could hear birdsong drifting through the open chapel door, and as they played, I remember a feeling more transcendent, more glad-hearted than I had experienced at any harvest festival or carol service. It appeared to me then, as it appears to me now, that it does not matter whether it is Silent Night or Svefn-g-englar that fills those church walls; the thing about music in churches is that its performance feels like a celebration of creation, an affirmation of how damned glorious it is to be alive. As Stravinsky put it: "The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church's greatest ornament."What I like about churches is somehow what I also like about musical instruments and lyrics and songs - that they only truly come alive with human contact. Cold marble, hard pews, stained glass, share much with guitar strings, piano keys, CDs, sentences, syllables, that in their inhabitation, in their playing there comes the sense of the inanimate made flesh. To hear the heave and huff of the church organ, to hear the swell of the choir and the congregation, to feel music and voices rising to the rafters, is to see life breathed into the building itself. And so to hear Jonathan Richman at the Union Chapel, or Patti Smith incanting at St Giles, or even All Things Bright and Beautiful sung with glory and gusto in a small Lancashire church, brings to me a similar shiver as that first snap and crackle as needle kisses vinyl; the sense that something has been resuscitated.There was a television series first screened in the mid-70s, named A Passion for Churches, which saw John Betjeman waxing lyrical about the churches of Britain. I've only ever seen it on YouTube, but in the clip I like to watch when I'm far from home or sick of the city, he is rhapsodising about Norfolk churches. There are shots of Wymondham Abbey, the rich green of the churchyard, and stained glass windows showing bewinged and halo-ed angels engaged in silent, motionless musical pursuit: lute, violin and horn; cymbal, trumpet, tambourine and triangle. And then in the final moment comes a clutch of pale-skinned, blue-clad choirboys rehearsing Ye Holy Angels Bright. "Behold! Behold! Behold!" they sing, as the choirmaster tuts, and the piano wheezes, breathing life, suddenly, into their stained-glass friends. And above it all, in its well-articulated chug, rises the voice of Betjeman himself, reading a line from Psalm 150:6: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
