Peter Asher on being music’s incredible ‘Everywhere Man’: ‘The secret is simple’

-
As the musician and producer reaches 82, a new documentary reveals his life working with everyone from James Taylor to Carole King to Paul McCartney Peter Asher didn’t want to do this interview. He had the same reaction several years ago when directors Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller approached him about making a documentary about his life and career. “I don’t think so,” he recalled telling them in our interview, which wound up taking place only after several entreaties from the film’s publicist that he do this one sit-down. “My life has been startlingly devoid of the standard rock’n’roll drug-and-sex dramas,” Asher said. “So I thought a documentary about me isn’t something people will want to see. It sounds boring.” On the contrary, Asher’s story stands among the most dramatic and consequential in music history, spurred by achievements that shifted the course of pop more than once. Through Asher’s pivotal role in the lives of stars like James Taylor and Carole King, he played a key role...

For Kim Kardashian’s 42nd Birthday, The Festivities Began On Kylie Jenner’s Private Jet

-
Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian and Ko. were compelled to celebrate her 42nd birthday at an In-N-Out Burger in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, this meant they did not get to eat at Carbone in Las Vegas or attend a concert by Usher as they had planned. On Saturday night, the reality star-turned-billionaire business mogul was scheduled to spend lavishly at the Dolby Live residency of the Grammy winner at Park MGM, where he could have gourmet Italian cuisine and dance to the artist's greatest hits. But as she was on her way to Sin City aboard her sister Kylie Jenner's $72 million private aircraft, Kardashian was advised that the pilot could not land safely owing to hazardous weather that included gusty winds of up to 60 miles per hour. Because the jet was unable to land because of the wind, it appears that our party at Carbone and the Usher show won't be going forward, and we will be returning home instead. Kardashian, who turned 42 on Friday, shared her thoughts on the matter through an Instagram Story. The star of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and her crew, including her sister Khloé Kardashian and a video crew, drove straight to an In-N-Out restaurant as soon as they touched down in Los Angeles. They ordered burgers and fries. Kim told the people who follow her on Instagram that to enter the fast food restaurant, she needed to cover up with a boa because she was wearing a silver bikini top and matching leggings. This look was identical to her Aaliyah Halloween costume from 2017. As an employee of the restaurant received her order, the founder of The Skims videotaped herself placing the white feathers around her neck and putting the camera back in her pocket. In another video, Kim can be heard saying they went to In-N-Out Burger instead of Carbone in Las Vegas since they could not get a reservation there. The camera then pans across to Khloé, who gives the peace sign.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
