CD Sales, Mask, & More


Rick Ross sold 188,000 albums to enter at #1 this week. Who's Rick Ross, Jerry? I have no f**king clue. Additionally, Danity Kane, late of Making the Band three years ago, will enter at #1 next week with around 270-290,000 sold. (100,000 more than Janet.) Which brings me to this: music and music tastes are in the toilet and clearly, I'm old.

Ahhhh. Cher as tough biker chick raising a facially deformed son. Yes, I'm having MASK memories. Cher was wonderful in the film, which at the time was quite a tear-jerker. Now, you can see it in all it's musical glory! Yes, Mask: The Musical has set-up shop in Pasadena. I love legendary song writers Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil so there just may be some good music there. Reviews should hit shortly, but for now, check out the pix: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/116102.html

Meet The Browns, Shutter, and Drillbit Taylor open today in theatres. So, unless you're under 18 with these on your must-see list, I suggest, once again, that you go see THE BANK JOB.

It's gonna be GORGEOUS in LA this weekend but if you need a DVD viewing, check out I Am Legend, Why Did I Get Married?, Gone Baby Gone.

Didja know Edie Brickell released a new album last month? Under the "group" name of the Heavy Circles, I've always loved her voice so I'll check it out soon. Also, good news to look forward to; the amazing Wynonna is set to issue a covers album later this year. She's cut Maria Muldaur's playful "I'm A Woman" already. I hope this pushes Wy to the forefront she deserves.
