Singing in Hebrew, Spanish, English, and Arabic, singer/songwriter David Broza, one of Israel’s most important living artists, brings the full spectrum of his work to this amazing production with his all-star band and special guests. (I've had the honor of opening fro David, and he is the real deal.)
Israel’s iconic singer/songwriter, guitarist and Unicef goodwill ambassador David Broza will embark on a coast-to-coast winter tour this December, celebrating 40 years since the release of his best-known song, "Yihye Tov" (Things Will Be Better). The well-known composition was written in 1977 during the Arab-Israeli peace talks between Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin, and has become an anthem of the Israeli peace movement.
Joining Broza on stage is a world-class group of seasoned and rising stars: From Palestine, Berklee School of Music graduate and qanun virtuoso Ali Paris; from Israel and NYC on guitars...

Original “Hellboy” star Ron Perlman met future demon hero David Harbour on Monday at a dinner arranged by Patton Oswalt, apparently to dispel any rumors of tension between the two actors. Harbour, who will play the titular character in director Neil Marshall’s upcoming “Hellboy” reboot, had found himself at the center of a potentially thorny situation. Back in February, many fans hoping for a third installment of the franchise with Perlman and director Guillermo del Toro were disappointed to learn that a reboot would happen instead.

Two Hellboys walk into a restaurant...
On Tuesday, Ron Perlman posted a photo of himself and his Hellboy film successor David Harbour having dinner together, which apparently was arranged by comic and all-star nerd Patton Oswalt.
"Not since Bill Clinton, Menachem Begin, and Anwar Sadat has there been such an epic summit yielding such a little result!" Perlman wrote. "Apparently Patton Oswald aka balvenieboy thought it was a good idea to host David Harbour and yours truly for a detente dinner. The result: I gained 3 pounds and ruined my liver."

So today (Sunday, which is yesterday), Editor Mike sent me a link to a column on The Jewish Daily Forward’s website which asks the question “Do Marvel Movies Have An Anti-Semitic Problem?” – which also happens to be the dumbest article I’ve ever read on their site.
Granted, The Forward – which was born way back in 1867 as a Yiddish language daily newspaper published by dissidents from the Socialist Labor Party – is a left-leaning paper whose heart and soul is the Jewish-American experience, with strong ties to Israel, and its articles are purposely written with that audience as its primary target. And granted, The Forward has not been the only news media outlet that has noted and remarked upon the recent rebirth of overt and increasingly violent anti-Semitism around the globe, especially in Europe. And yes, The Forward should be praised in its unadulterated and unabridged journalism that consistently calls out the perpetrators.

Washington (AP) — John Palmer, the longtime correspondent for NBC News who died Saturday after a brief illness, was remembered by former colleagues as a hardworking, gracious reporter who moved easily from war zones to the White House and who brought a reassuring voice to news broadcasts.
Palmer, 77, died Saturday at George Washington University Hospital of pulmonary fibrosis, according to his wife, Nancy.
"God bless John Palmer, tireless reporter, always a gentleman, loving husband and doting father," former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw wrote on Twitter. He said the death of his friend of nearly 50 years was "heartbreaking."
Palmer worked for NBC from 1962 to 1990, and then returned to the network from 1994 until 2002. He became a familiar face to viewers of the "Today" show during much of the 1980s, delivering the news in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner at a time when the program often led in the ratings.

Updated (11:15 p.m.): There are conflicting reports of Mubarak's death. Al Jazeera is now claiming that he is on life support. His Wikipedia page has been re-updated.
Original: Egypt's state news agency is reporting that Hosni Mubarak died Tuesday evening at the age of 84.
Mubarak suffered a stroke earlier Tuesday while in prison, during which his heart had to be restarted with a defibulator. He was transfered to a military hospital that happened to contain some historical resonance:
Spokesman Alaa Mahmoud says the 84-year-old Mubarak was moved by ambulance from the hospital in Torah Prison to nearby Maadi Hospital in southern Cairo. The military facility is where Mubarak's predecessor, Anwar Sadat, was declared dead after being shot by Islamic extremists in 1981.
The news comes just two weeks after Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison for his role in suppressing last year's Arab Spring protests, in which numerous...

Gil Scott-Heron famously said "The revolution will not be televised," but as the Occupy movement and the events in Syria and Egypt have shown, not only are these actions on TV, they're on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as well. Social media and the ever-quickening 24 hours cycle have seen protestors and governments alike shift and adapt strategies, tactics and rhetoric faster than ever before. And it's against this backdrop that director Yousry Nasrallah has delivered "After The Battle," a well-intentioned if clunky and uneven drama set among the boiling tension and emotion of the uprisings in Egypt in 2011.
The film uses "The Battle Of The Camels" to kick off the story. Occuring on February 2, 2011, one week after Egyptians first took to the street, the incident saw pro-Mubarak forces attack protestors in Tahrir square, with reports of camel and horse riders from Nazlet El-Samman being paid to start riots. This is notable because the residents of Nazlet,...

At Newsweek and The Daily Beast's second annual Women in the World summit, the former president gave a candid and expansive conversation ranging from his views on Libya (where his support for a no-fly zone is at odds with the Obama administration's position) to why we've never had a female president. Lloyd Grove reports. Plus, watch Women in the World video highlights and follow our live blog.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been cautiously occupying the fence on whether the United States should help establish a no-fly zone over Libya-falling in line with Obama administration policy to build international consensus before deciding what to do.

But the secretary's husband, former president Bill Clinton, came out strongly Thursday night for the controversial military measure to help the Libyan rebels in their struggle to topple Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

The number of bodies at a single morgue suggest the death toll is far higher than what's been reported. Plus, full coverage of Egypt's uprising.
The wounded began pouring in around 10 p.m. It was only two hours into the young doctor's shift at a hospital in Cairo last night and he was already overwhelmed. "There were gunshots to the head, gunshots to the chest, shots in the eye," says the young doctor. "The victims kept coming and coming." He was so shocked by what he saw that he went down to the hospital morgue to see what was going on. "I couldn't believe my eyes," he says, shaking his head. "There were so many bodies that they had to put two on one bed."

In tapping General Omar Suleiman as his vice president, Egyptian President Mubarak has effectively decided on his successor-apparently cutting his son out of the action. John Barry on the power waiting in the wings. Plus, full coverage of the Egypt uprising.
"The Egyptian government can't reshuffle the deck and then stand pat," State Department spokesman P.J.Crowley said in a message he circulated on Twitter after President Mubarak announced he had fired his government. "President Mubarak's words pledging reform must be followed by action."

Hollywood celebrities can't compete with the canine stars of the Fido awards for dogs in cinema
In Hollywood, awards season is already in full swing, although it's at least three months until the Oscars ceremony. The big news so far is that, in a year in which the Best Picture category has been extended from five nominees to 10, the scaling down of the big studios' specialty divisions has led to the inevitable consequence of there being significantly fewer awards-worthy pictures.
Such concerns were far from the minds of the dog lovers who attended the third annual Fido awards, honouring canine excellence on the big screen, held yesterday at London's BFI Southbank. Who cares about the impact of the fiscal crisis on Hollywood when tails are still wagging on the big screen?
There may no longer be film franchises to rival those family friendly staples Lassie and Rin Tin Tin, but...
