  • Shop Til You Drop in Bangkok Cirque Du Soleil Brings Alegría to Houston
    F ASHION LIFESTYLE ART ENTERTAINMENT NOVEMBER 2010 FREE Shop Til You Drop in Bangkok Cirque du Soleil Brings Alegría to Houston Special Holiday Fragrance Selection Asian Fusion is on Your TV Screen yellowmags.com FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF Well, I guess you can see by the cover that we are rather Gleeful about this month’s issue. Harry Shum, Jr. is not only gaining exposure on the set of the super-popular series Glee, but he also exposed himself (well, his abs) for you, our readers. We all know Harry (maybe without really knowing who it was) from those iPod dancing silhouette commercials a while back; you saw him in the Step movies; you can see him every Tuesday on Fox in Glee; what you don’t see is what a genuinely nice guy this entertainer is and we hope that our interview captured that essence. We all know that Houston is home to a vibrant and creative arts community. So we weren’t surprised to discover an organization that helps recent music school graduates market their careers. Early this month, The Impulse Artist Series will host performances of several up and coming musicians in different intimate venues around the city. This month, we focus on Phyllis Chen, a musician from New York who will be performing pieces on toy pianos. She is a classically trained pianist who discovered that toy pianos liberate her creativity and unleash waves of musical energy that were not achievable with concert pianos. She will be playing these during her performance, as well. The circus is coming, the circus is coming! Or at least the divinely creative “circus” that is Cirque du Soleil, who is bringing Alegría to the Toyota Center.

  • Pussycat Dolls FAN TV
    Presents PUSSYCAT DOLLS The Pussycat Dolls (abbreviated to PCD) are an American pop/R&B girl group and dance ensemble founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a burlesque troupe based in Los Angeles. After attracting national attention, Antin eventually negotiated a record deal with Interscope Records in 2003 turning the group into a music franchise, comprising Nicole Scherzinger alongside Melody Thornton, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt and Carmit Bachar. Since then the group has developed a global image and commercial brand overseen by Antin, Interscope and various partners. They have diversified into reality television programs, a Las Vegas act and product endorsements amongst other things. Success as a music group came in 2005 with their first album PCD which debuted at number five in the US producing three successful singles "Don't Cha", "Buttons", and "Stickwitu"; the latter earned the group a Grammy Award nomination. Following the departure of Carmit Bachar in March 2008, the group continued as a quintet and in September of that year they released their second album, Doll Domination, spawning singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". Throughout their rise to fame, the group has been criticized for its overtly sexual image and explicit dance routines. The group has also been scrutinized for the over-emphasis on lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, who sings all lead vocals in the group. In late 2009 / early 2010 the group went on hiatus to record their third album and prepare their next world tour. It has since been confirmed that Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts and Melody Thornton have all left the group to pursue solo careers.

    July 12-15, 2012 Dear Friends, Welcome to New York City for The 2012 PULSE On Tour Finale Event! Since 2003, our number one goal has been to prepare each educator and performer (more than 200,000 to date) for a one-of-a-kind journey: whether that is becoming a better dancer or moving from the classroom to a career. Though other dance conventions focus solely on competition, we have thrived and succeeded by offering something different: opportunity. Instead of trophies, our attendees win scholarships and establish meaningful industry connections. The PULSE has become the fast track for dancers: helping them transition from classes to agent meetings...and then on to stage, film, and TV. From the moment you step into one of our conventions, you are surrounded by the greatest single collection of working pros in the industry. They are award winners and leaders in the field, who are exclusively committed to helping dancers move from rehearsal to real life. With each success story, our commitment to first-rate dance training only grows stronger. This year brings more opportunities to a greater body of dancers as we add new international cities in Mexico, Canada, The United Kingdom, and Japan to our highly anticipated domestic lineup for the upcoming season. We also continue to expand Camp Pulse, with new faculty traveling to 10 cities in the 2012-2013 season. This tour is specifically designed for dancers ages 8-13, with the goal to empower the future of dance! As Camp Pulse grows, so does our desire to provide new opportunities through new events.

  • Pussycat Dolls Burlesque Revue with Carmen Electra Friday, June 17
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 22, 2011 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS PUSSYCAT DOLLS BURLESQUE REVUE WITH CARMEN ELECTRA FRIDAY, JUNE 17 Richmond, BC – Founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995, the Pussycat Dolls began as a burlesque dance revue based in Los Angeles, spawned a second revue in Las Vegas, grew into an A-list phenomenon with a revolving cast of guest celebrities and eventually became a recording act with a number one dance. It wasn't long after launching its revue that the troupe began attracting actresses and models who wanted to become a Pussycat Doll for a night. Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Osbourne, Pink, Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani are just some of the names who donned lingerie and pin-up costumes and joined the Dolls for their flirtatious shows. An appearance in the 2003 film, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle was followed by numerous television appearances. Capitalizing on the nationwide attention and the addition of former Eden's Crush member, Nicole Scherzinger as lead singer, the single "Don't Cha" was released in early 2005 and climbed to #2 on the Pop chart and #1 on the Dance chart. With help from the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and producer Timbaland, the Pussycat Dolls recorded their first studio album, PCD which debuted at #5 that summer. In 2008, Carmit Bachar left to pursue a solo career. Continuing on as a five-piece, the Dolls released both the single, "When I Grow Up" and the album, Doll Domination that same year. Today their show features new dancers along with original member, Carmen Electra.
