Diana flick ‘sinking ship’ NAOMI Watts has spoken out for the first time about her dis- appointing role as Princess Diana and has compared the film to a “sinking ship”. The Aussie actor says tak- ing up the role as the late Prin- cess in Diana, which was mauled by critics, was a risk that didn't pay off. But she’s blamed the film rather than her own perform- ance, saying it took a different direction to the one she’d hoped for. “I got seduced by the fantastic character,” Watts tells Harper’s Bazaar. “But ultimately there were problems with (the film) and it ended up taking a direction that was not the one I was hop- From left, Gregory Stone, Daniel Mulhall, Madeleine Maria Lind, Jessica Palfrey, Lena Carlson and Bonnie Mullins watch on as Alex Smith challenges Christopher Anderson ing for.” with his rapier wit in preparation for the upcoming medieval fair.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 03.04.2017 Regina Spektor Kommt Für Eine
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 03.04.2017 Regina Spektor kommt für eine exklusive Show nach Berlin Zum Glück gibt es noch Momente, in denen alles in Ordnung ist. Wenn man Regina Spektor bei einem Live-Auftritt lauschen darf beispielsweise. Die New Yorkerin, die noch in der Sowjetunion geboren wurde und als Neunjährige in die USA kam, verzaubert mit ihrer Stimme und ihrem Klavierspiel jeden Zuhörer. Kein Wunder: Ursprünglich wollte sie Konzertpianistin werden, doch das hat sich zum Schöneren gewendet, wie sie einmal sagte: „Ich wollte immer klassisch konzertieren, von Ort zu Ort reisen, neue Stücke einstudieren und Menschen stundenlang auf dem Klavier vorspielen. Genau das mache ich jetzt, nur nicht mit Kompositionen von Chopin und Mozart, sondern meinen eigenen.“ 2001 erschien ihr erstes Album „11:11“, eine Sammlung stark vom Jazz und Blues beeinflusster Lieder. Doch erst mit dem grandiosen „Soviet Kitsch“ und anschließend mit dem vergoldeten „Begin To Hope“ gelang ihr der Durchbruch. Spektor ging mit den Strokes, den Kings Of Leon und den wesensverwandten Moldy Peaches auf Tour, ihre Songs sind in diversen Serien und Filmen wie Orange Is The New Black (für das Stück „You’ve Got Time“ wurde sie für den Grammy nominiert), Grey’s Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Wife und vielen anderen verwendet worden. Sie spielte für die Obamas und ihre Gäste im Weißen Haus und trat bei Benefizveranstaltungen für Tibet, Ärzte Ohne Grenzen und andere auf. Auf Tour mit The Moldy Peaches lernte sie nebenbei deren Gitarristen und ihren heutigen Ehegatten Jack Dishel kennen, mit dem sie seit 2014 einen Sohn hat.

  • Phoebe Kreutz Spielt Akustischen Folk, Der Sich Mit Cleveren Humoresken
    Phoebe Kreutz spielt akustischen Folk, der sich mit cleveren humoresken Texten paart - ihre Lieder erzählen witzig-melancholische Geschichten, die auch nach mehrmaligem Hören nichts von ihrem herzerfrischendem Humor einbüßen. Phoebe Kreutz wurde vom renommierten Magazin The New Yorker mal "the kingpin of the joke-folk genre" genannt. Das trifft die Sache ungefähr, obwohl ihre Songs nicht bloß gesungene Witze sind. Ihre Musik zeigt viele Facetten - mal laut und bestimmt, dann sanft und zart lässt Kreutz Konturen fremder Welten entstehen. Sie erzählt Geschichten der Sehnsucht, der Melancholie, Geschichten, die zum Lachen bringen, führt skurrile Reisen durch Literatur und Lebensfragen an und dies mit einer Stimme, welche bisweilen zielgenau den Ton verfehlen, so die New York Times. Ihr Partner Matt Colbourn wird sie in Duetten und auf der Trompete begleiten. Mit im Gepäck ist ihr brandneues Album "The Age of Reasonableness". Während Phoebe Kreutz seit einigen Jahren Stammgast auf europäischen Bühnen ist, kommt Toby Goodshank nach 4 Jahren Absenz endlich wieder über den Atlantik, um sein neues Album "Truth Jump Fall" vorzustellen, produziert von Jack Dishel, seinerseits Schlagzeuger bei Adam Greens und Kimya Dawsons Band The Moldy Peaches, bei der auch Goodshank an der Gitarre aktiv war. Auch auf seinem (ungefähr) 27. Soloalbum in 10 Jahren präsentiert Goodshank unkonventionelle Songstrukturen, surreale Texte, Wortwitz, angeschrägte Post-Teenage-Lyrics und Lo-Fi-Verliebtheit und ist somit immun gegen getragene Ernsthaftigkeit. Nebst seinen Soloprojekten ist Goodshank aktives Mitglied der Underground-Combos Double Deuce, Tri-Lambs und Christian Pirate Puppies - die Namen dieser Bands stellen einen direkten Link zu seinen Arbeiten als Comic-Zeichner her.Live ist er unberechenbar - angekündigt hat er neben dem neuen Songmaterial auch einen Auftritt seines neuen Nebenprojektes L.A.

Thanks to your generous support, this past year the Museum was on the front lines— teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and their continued relevance to an expanding global audience. Students at a French high school were among the first to get a guided tour of the special exhibition State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda when it opened in Paris. A series of exhibition-related posters is available in 10 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish, and can be downloaded for free from the Museum’s website. Vincent Huber for the US Holocaust Memorial Museum Dear Friends, The entries of the international “Holocaust cartoon contest” lined the walls of a gallery in Tehran, but the hate-filled images were also spreading across social media into the hands of impressionable youth. The Museum’s condemnation, swift and targeted, was featured on Iranwire’s website and social channels—an independent online news service published to circumvent the regime’s control of the Internet— and a Museum partner in developing Persian-language resources to bring the truth The National Campus Leaders Summit to the people of Iran. brought student leaders from ten universities to dive deep into the This is just one of the many ways in which the Museum seeks to teach the lessons history of the Holocaust and explore its of the Holocaust and their continued relevance to an expanding global audience.
