| Isabelle Huppert gets Swedish film award Posted: 13 Aug 2011 08:12 AM PDT
Huppert, who is 58 (picture), will be in Stockholm in November to receive the prestigious award. "Fearlessness and contemplation are the opposing poles in the space where her characters are created and exist," the festival said. "She is the muse to the greatest of film auteurs, and at the same time, her own incomparable auteur." Since "The Lacemaker" in 1977 by Swiss director Claude Goretta, she has taken on "memorable" roles, it added. The Stockholm film festival which was created in 1990 runs November 9-20. The Bronze Horse is awarded every year and has gone to Roman Polanski, Lauren Bacall, David Lynch, Charlotte Rampling and Wong Kar Wai, among others. – AFP Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
| Christina Aguilera leads line-up for Jackson tribute gig Posted: 13 Aug 2011 01:57 AM PDT  Christina Aguilera will be leading the line-up for Jackson tribute gig. – AFP pic Several of Jackson's brothers will also perform at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium in Wales, as will his nephews who form the boyband 3T, despite opposition among some of the late singer's siblings to the concert going ahead at all. Fans have until August 16 to register for tickets to the October 8 show, which will cost from £55 (RM270.14) for a restricted view and £87 for a standard seat, to a top price of £240. After several delays, the first artists in the line-up were confirmed as Smokey Robinson, Grammy award-winning singer Aguilera, singer-songwriter Cee Lo Green, British singer Leona Lewis and pop act JLS. British R&B star Craig David and rock band Alien Ant Farm have also signed up for the tribute concert. "We're delighted that such exciting and globally recognised acts have joined the line-up to pay tribute to a music legend," said Chris Hunt, president of Global Live Events which is organising the concert. "This is going to be a spectacular event, and one not to be missed. I'm also pleased to say that we'll be adding more amazing headliners in the days to come." US Director Paul Ring added: "This concert will unite various generations and musical genres, reminding everyone of just how amazing a talent Michael was." The Millennium Stadium has a 74,500 capacity, but for fans who cannot attend the show, it will be broadcast to 30 countries in both 2D and 3D. It is the brainchild of Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine, his sister La Toya and brothers Tito, Marlon and Jackie. But two of his brothers, Jermaine and Randy Jackson, said the family should be concentrating on the upcoming manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, which will begin on September 26 in Los Angeles. Conrad Murray, the last doctor to treat Jackson, is on trial for involuntary homicide in the King of Pop's death on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50 after an overdose of the anaesthesia propofol, which the singer used as a sleeping aid. – AFP Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
