Eight Middle School Students to Attend 2012 Palm Springs International Film Fest Awards Gala with Mayor Pougnet Eight Middle School Students to Attend 2012 Palm Springs International Film Fest Awards Gala with Mayor Pougnet Contact: Amy Blaisdell Communications Director City of Palm Springs (760) 323-8250 Dec. 20, 2011 Eight lucky Palm Springs middle school students with an interest in the entertainment industry will don their very best threads and walk the red carpet along with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron and some of the biggest film stars in the world on Saturday, Jan 7 as special guests of Mayor Steve Pougnet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s star-studded black-tie Awards Gala – the biggest and most glamorous event of the Coachella Valley season! This year’s excited students are: Carol Ann Bartley, Desert Chapel Middle School Dailon Botley, Raymond Cree Middle School Zjarve Crawford, Raymond Cree Middle School Jonathan Hatsios, Raymond Cree Middle School Hayley Krachmann , Cielo Vista Rachel Jacobs, Raymond Cree Middle School Allison Lawrence, Raymond Cree Middle School Kelly Servelle, St. Theresa School Students pose with actress Anne Hathaway at 2009 Film Festival Awards Gala For the past four years, Pougnet has extended the opportunity to local students, many whom participate in City of Palm Springs afterschool programs -1- at Palm Springs Parks and Recreation and James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center, to attend the glamorous Awards Gala, hosted by Entertainment Tonight’s Mary Hart at the Palm Springs Convention Center. Mayor Pougnet escorts students on the red carpet in 2011 “Our film festival is the premiere event of the Coachella Valley season and I think it’s important to give local students a chance to attend this unique special event,” Pougnet said. “They’ll get to meet movie stars and mingle like adults in an amazing setting. I’m thrilled I can give them this once in a lifetime experience and perhaps even inspire a future actor or filmmaker.” This year’s Awards Gala, a precursor to the Academy Awards, will once again honor a host of glamorous Hollywood celebrities for their work in film – including Oscar-winning actor George Clooney, who will receive the prestigious Chairman’s Award along with a host of other honorees that include Brad Pitt, Michelle Williams, Glenn Close and many more! Founded in 1990 by then Palm Springs Mayor Sonny Bono, the festival -- which runs Jan. 5-16 -- features a lineup of more than 150 films from around the world and is one of the largest in North America. It is also seen by American distributors as one of the best Academy Award campaign marketing tools in the country. “The Palm Springs International Film Festival is the most fun and unique special event in the Coachella Valley and brings in thousands of movie buffs and entertainment industry leaders to our City every January to enjoy the very best in American and foreign film,” said Pougnet. “I encourage everyone in the Coachella Valley and beyond to visit Palm Springs and experience this uniquely original film fest for yourselves. With so many celebrated films and a star- studded red carpet Awards Gala to boot -- our film festival is one of a kind!” For more information about films, special events and ticket prices, visit the City’s Web site at www.palmspringsca.gov and click on Palm Springs International Film Festival -- or go to the festival’s Web site at www.psfilmfest.org.

    Not Your Mother’s Library Transcript Episode 11: Mamma Mia! and More Musicals (Brief intro music) Rachel: Hello, and welcome to Not Your Mother’s Library, a readers’ advisory podcast from the Oak Creek Public Library. I’m Rachel, and once again since Melody’s departure I am without a co-host. This is where you would stick a crying-face emoji. Luckily for everyone, though, today we have a brand new guest! This is most excellent, truly, because we are going to be talking about musicals, and I do not have any sort of expertise in that area. So, to balance the episode out with a more professional perspective, I would like to welcome to the podcast Oak Creek Library’s very own Technical Services Librarian! Would you like to introduce yourself? Joanne: Hello, everyone. I am a new guest! Hooray! (laughs) Rachel: Yeah! Joanne: So, I am the Technical Services Librarian here at the Oak Creek Library. My name is Joanne. I graduated from Carroll University with a degree in music, which was super helpful for libraries. Not so much. Rachel: (laughs) Joanne: And then went to UW-Milwaukee to get my masters in library science, and I’ve been working in public libraries ever since. I’ve always had a love of music since I've been in a child. My mom is actually a church organist, and so I think that’s where I get it from. Rachel: Wow, yeah. Joanne: I used to play piano—I did about 10 years and then quit. (laughs) So, I might be able to read some sheet music but probably not very well.

  • The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway  by Nate Jones
    The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway By Nate Jones Spend a few minutes reading blog comments, and you might assume that Anne Hathaway’s approval rating falls somewhere between that of Boko Haram and paper cuts — but you'd actually be completely wrong. According to E-Poll likability data we factored into Vulture's Most Valuable Stars list, the braying hordes of Hathaway haters are merely a very vocal minority. The numbers say that most people actually like her. Even more shocking? Who they like her more than. In calculating their E-Score Celebrity rankings, E-Poll asked people how much they like a particular celebrity on a six-point scale, which ranged from "like a lot" to "dislike a lot." The resulting Likability percentage is the number of respondents who indicated they either "like" Anne Hathaway or "like Anne Hathaway a lot." Hathaway's 2014 Likability percentage was 67 percent — up from 66 percent in 2013 — which doesn't quite make her Will Smith (85 percent), Sandra Bullock (83 percent), Jennifer Lawrence (76 percent), or even Liam Neeson (79 percent), but it does put her well above plenty of stars whose appeal has never been so furiously impugned on Twitter. Why? Well, why not? Anne Hathaway is a talented actress and seemingly a nice person. The objections to her boiled down to two main points: She tries too hard, and she's overexposed. But she's been absent from the screen since 2012'sLes Misérables, so it's hard to call her overexposed now. And trying too hard isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when you consider the alternative.

    FAIRMONT LOVES FILM BEHIND THE SCENES WITH FAIRMONT Celebrating a history and passion for movie-making For more than a century, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has created memorable experiences for all of its guests, including some of the world’s most renowned filmmakers and actors. Fairmont hotels have been the site or setting of countless Hollywood blockbusters and legendary films. When filmmakers and directors want to portray luxury accommodations that truly represent their destinations, they often focus their cameras on Fairmont properties. Many film buffs will know that Home Alone 2 (1992); and North By Northwest (1959) were filmed at The Plaza, A Fairmont Managed Hotel in New York, but guests may not realize such that Fairmont Hotels & Resorts across the globe have also had starring roles in classic films as JFK (1991), Dr. Zhivago (1965), and The Great Gatsby (2013) to name but a few. Fast forward to the 21st century where Fairmont has shone in the spotlight in popular films such as New York Minute (2004) starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; the Angelina Jolie thriller Taking Lives (2004); The Cinderella Man (2005) featuring Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger; and the blockbuster RED (2010), featuring an all-star cast including Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. Fairmont has also appeared in numerous top-rated television productions such as The Bachelorette, Celebrity Mole and TLC’s A Dating Story. Once the productions have wrapped, Fairmont is equally pleased to roll out the red carpet for international stars when they attend prestigious award shows and film festivals from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards to the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards – Bollywood’s top night, which has been hosted by both Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York and Fairmont Singapore.

  • Brokeback Mountain,” Salon, Dec
    Stephanie Zacharek, “Brokeback Mountain,” Salon, Dec. 9, 2005 http://entertainment.salon.com/2005/12/09/brokeback_2/ The premise of Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain,” based on an Annie Proulx short story, is something we’ve never seen before in a mainstream picture: In 1963 two young cowboys meet on the job and, amid a great deal of confusion and denial, as well as many fervent declarations of their immutable heterosexuality, fall in love. Their names — straight out of a boy’s adventure book of the 1930s, or maybe just the result of a long think on the front porch at some writers’ colony — are Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger). The attraction between Jack and Ennis is at first timid and muted, the sort of thing that might have amounted to nothing more than a vague, sleep-swollen fantasy. But when they finally give in to that attraction, in a cramped tent out in rural Wyoming — the sheep they’re supposed to be guarding are far off on a hillside, most likely being circled by lip-smacking coyotes — the very sound of their urgent unbuckling and unzipping is like a ghost whistling across the plains, foretelling doom and pleasure and everything in between. This early section of “Brokeback Mountain,” in which the men’s minimal verbal communication transmutes into a very intimate sort of carnal chemistry, is the most affecting and believable part of the movie, partly because young love is almost always touching, and partly because for these cowboys — living in a very conventional corner of the world, in a very conventional time — the stakes are particularly high.
