Elton John & Taron Egerton Perform "Tiny Dancer" at the 27th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party

cid:image002.jpg@01D4CCAE.CF4F6610
The 27th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards® Viewing Party hosted by Sir Elton John and David Furnish raised over $6.3 million for the global effort to end AIDS. The gala, which took place on Sunday, February 24th, at West Hollywood Park in Los Angeles, was generously supported by Presenting Sponsors IMDb and Neuro Drinks. For more information about the Elton John AIDS Foundation, visit EJAF.org or follow @EJAF.

During the auction lot for ROCKETMAN: an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John, Alexander Gilkes welcomed to the stage actor Taron Egerton, star of the upcoming motion picture film. Following a short preview of the trailer and a round of bidding on a trip to the London premiere of the film, the audience was taken by surprise when Gilkes asked Taron to sing one of Elton John’s songs. Only agreeing to the performance if Elton played the piano, guests were brought to their feet as they watched Elton John take his position on the keys while Taron belted out the lyrics to one of his most beloved ballads, “Tiny Dancer.”
 

Ria Mae announces EP 'Stars'

Today, Ria Mae announced the release of her highly anticipated EP, Stars, out March 8. On Friday, Ria also surprised fans with the release of the R&B infused “Trixi.” The provocative new track about desire and obsession is available to stream and download now.

“Trixi” is the fourth song off Stars released to date. It follows, "It's You" (Acoustic)," "Not At Peace" and the EP’s first single, "Hold Me." It was produced and mixed by Kris Eriksson (The Chainsmokers, Afro Jack, Tori Kelly).

Stars takes its name from the title track off the album written by Ria Mae, Erik Alcock (P!nk, Eminem) and Calum Brockie. “For me, it’s a song about a tough journey, but never giving up or losing faith,” says Ria. That mindset inspired the writing of the EP and the title of Ria’s headlining Canadian tour. The “Never Coming Down” cross-Canada tour kicked off in the fall of 2018 and will conclude with two sold out shows in Ria’s hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia on March 8 and 9.  

Ria’s new EP is a follow up to the JUNO Award nominated, My Love. The first single “Bend” became an instant hit, skyrocketing to Top 5 at Hot AC, Top 15 at AC, and Top 15 at CHR radio, reaching platinum certification status. Last year, Ria was nominated for “Album of the Year” at the 2018 JUNO Awards. Two years earlier, Ria also earned a JUNO nomination for “Single of the Year” for her platinum-selling hit “Clothes Off."

Netta - Bassa Sababa

 

2018 Eurovision winner Netta unveils her brand-new single “Bassa Sababa”. Stream/Download “Bassa Sababa” here.

Another powder keg of energy, the track begins with an a capella chant before unfurling over ecstatic electronic production and a robotic warbling of the title. As soon as Netta belts, “Stop…call your mama,” it gallops over tribal guitar and propulsive percussion back towards an instantly hummable refrain.

“Bassa Sababa,” Netta's first release since the competition, fuses together contemporary sounds, EDM and 70's Folk-Rock with a contagious African beat. The song's title is a mixture of two opposite words in Hebrew/Arabic which essentially mean "Sad" & "Happy", while the lyrics of the song express Netta's individuality and celebrate her flaws as an empowering force. It was co-written & produced by Netta along with collaborators Avshalom Ariel and Stav Berger. This is the same team that wrote and produced her global hit “Toy.”

The video, directed by Roy Raz (Jennifer Hudson, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dita Von Teese) is described as a bubblegum gore fantasy which mixes equal parts of sweetness and aggressiveness. Filmed in the Ukraine, the video begins with Netta on her wedding day being dumped at the altar. Instead of being hurt and playing the victim, Netta plans revenge and gets even.

UK PM Theresa May awards ‘outstanding’ National Student Pride founder

UK Prime Minister Theresa May yesterday recognised Tom Guy, from London, for founding the largest student-led LGBT+ event in the UK.

In a personal letter to Tom, Prime Minister Theresa May congratulated Tom’s work with National Student Pride, including the festival's support for the campaign that led to her Government bringing in compulsory sex education to all schools:


"The extraordinary success of ‘National Student Pride’ is a testament to your outstanding commitment to helping young LGBT people feel comfortable in their identity. By bringing together students from across the UK and internationally for an engaging weekend of performances, discussion and careers support, you have built a remarkable platform for young LGBT voices to be heard. I wish you the very best with this year’s event.”


Tom said, "I am delighted to be the Point of Light, and especially so that 'National Student Pride' is taking place this weekend. The work we do at National Student Pride is so important in providing a safe space for LGBT+ students to have their first pride and discover their true identity. Each year we tackle topical issues such as Gender, Homelessness and Mental Health and this year Ian McKellen is joining us as we discuss Activism and Race."

Tom founded the organisation in 2005 as a student at Oxford Brookes University to promote progressive voices on campus and tackle homophobia.

Since then, the event has grown to attract over 1,700 students from more than 170 universities and colleges worldwide to participate in an annual weekend festival of talks, exhibitions, and workshops hosted at the University of Westminster.

The event includes a careers fair providing tailored support for LGBT+ students and aims to improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

National Student Pride has also worked with the National Union of Students LGBT+ and Terrence Higgins Trust to support the campaign to make sex and relationships education compulsory in schools, which the Government approved in 2017.

In 2016 Tom also founded and now Chairs the 'Architecture LGBT+' network which is now flourishing and helping to provide role models in a space where homophobia is still prevalent.

Tom is the latest recipient of the Points of Light award, which recognises outstanding volunteers who are making a change in their community and inspiring others. Each day, someone, somewhere in the country is selected to receive the award to celebrate their remarkable achievements. Tom's award coincides with this year’s National Student Pride event, and LGBT History Month.


Laura Yates, Head of Graduate Recruitment at Clifford Chance, a partner of National Student Pride, added, "'National Student Pride' wouldn't have been possible without Tom's vision of creating a safe space for young people to explore who they really whilst debating the most pressing societal problems and creating a unique support network of peers and future employers.”

Mira Magecha, Interim Chief People Officer at Just Eat, a partner of National Student Pride, said, 'Congratulations to Tom on this fantastic award and achievement. We're delighted to be working with National Student Pride to help empower young LGBT+ people to be comfortable in their identity. Society benefits when people are supported to be themselves - which further enables businesses and economies to flourish. We're passionate about developing an inclusive workplace so that whatever background our people are from - or whoever they love - they can grow their careers in a supportive environment. We're learning more every day from groups like NSP in how we can improve LGBT+ 
Tom is the 1127th winner of the Points of Light award, which has been developed in partnership with the hugely successful Points of Light programme in the USA. Over 6,000 Points of Light have been awarded in the USA, and former Presidents have publicly supported the partnership with Points of Light UK.

San Francisco Dungeons Extends Search for "America's Most Ghosted"


Boo! U there? Been ghosted? The San Francisco Dungeon is looking to turn your busted, broken, budding-romantic text exchanges into national glory with its search to crown “America’s Most Ghosted.”

Ever found yourself on a movie date eating popcorn for two? Or waiting at a restaurant, well, forever? Telling your friends “maybe they lost their phone?” Fear not, and for hell’s sake, put down your phone. The San Francisco Dungeon, a live show experience dedicated to the Bay Area’s most dark and sordid history, has you covered.

The attraction calls all rejected Romeos to post screen shots of your final text exchanges with that special someone who had—for a few blissful days, weeks or months, anyway—seemed really, really into you.

You still there? To help you (finally) get over it, the ultimate “ghostee” will also turn their rejection into a vacation to San Francisco including a free flight, accommodation for one at nearby Hotel Zoe (we know you’re still single) and a ticket to the Dungeon so you can eat, pray, love yo’self. Swipe right for solo vacations!


“With digital dating more popular than ever, we decided to shed light on the dark side of modern romance and celebrate being rejected for no known reason,” explained Dalia Goldgor, general manager, The San Francisco Dungeon. “We are known as the place to encounter San Francisco’s most infamous ghosts, but with this offer, we hope to sooth hurting hearts and App-induced thumb-wounds by recognizing and rewarding America’s Most Ghosted.”

Ghosting has become infamous as the 21st-century dating phenomenon whereby a once hot-and-heavy love interest suddenly stops returning texts, never to be heard from again.

To enter, post a screen shot of your final text exchange with the guilty ghost on Instagram or Twitter @thesfdungeon using the unique hashtag #AmericasMostGhosted. Also, be sure to tell us (in 10 words or fewer) anything you want to say about the situation (e.g., why it was devastating, background info, why we should care, etc.). Then, publish your post and bask in the single life!

All contestants must follow @thesfdungeon on the platform of submission (either Twitter or Instagram) to ensure The San Francisco Dungeon can view and share submissions. ALL images/ submissions entered can be made public. Entries will be accepted through Monday, April 15, at 5 p.m. PST. The winner will be announced on, Wednesday, April 17, by 12 p.m. PST. Full entry instructions and all terms and conditions may be viewed here.

5 Ways Young People (And Everyone Else) Can Fight For The Environment

Climate change continues to draw attention globally, from governmental debates on pollution solutions to people protesting against a lack of action.

In Europe, teenage girls and young women are leading a large student environmental movement, and organizers in the U.S. are planning to join an international day of action on March 15. Against this backdrop, those engaged in environmental issues say that while there is strength in numbers during protest events, the difference often starts with individuals doing the right things daily for clean air and water – when no one is watching.

“Creating awareness on a massive stage is wonderful, but how many realize the responsibility each of us has in this critical battle and how it can’t be won unless we all make the necessary changes?” asks Leslie Landis, author of Chendell: A Natural Warrior, a fantasy novel with environmental themes.

Landis hopes her novel will expand awareness of climate change and inspire young people to work together and foster environmental improvements. The characters in her book have a special relationship with nature and that leads to a superhero who fights for environmental issues.

“Anyone can be a hero in the fight against pollution; anyone can step up for any of the environmental problems that plague us and be a natural warrior,” Landis says. “From everyday habits to small lifestyle changes, doing those things daily can make a huge difference.”

Landis lists five ways to be a natural warrior for the environment:

• Take a tote. “Ditch the plastic shopping bag and opt for a more versatile alternative like a reusable tote bag,” Landis says. “States like California are already doing their part to reduce the use of plastic bags, and you can help carry that movement forward by keeping a handful of reusable bags in your house and car.”

• Think before you drink. “Say goodbye to plastic water bottles by getting a reusable canteen or thermos,” Landis says. “Not only do these items help Mother Nature by cutting down on plastic waste, they also reduce your exposure to BPA and help keep your beverages insulated.”

• Get thrifty. “The fashion industry creates a lot of unnecessary waste,” Landis says. “But you can help slow it down by giving discarded clothes a second chance. Shop at thrift stores, second-hand shops and vintage boutiques. By sporting looks from the past, you’ll actually be helping the environment in the future.”

• Don’t put the pedal to the metal. Environmental experts talk about how we all leave carbon footprints by the modes of transportation we use. “It’s a lot larger than you think,” Landis says. “Fortunately, there are many alternative means of transportation. Whether you ride your bike to work, carpool to school, or walk, you’ll be saving yourself from the high price of gas while helping reduce carbon emissions in our air.”

• Grow green. Whether you’re planting trees to combat the carbon emissions or planting an edible garden to cut back on store-bought waste, Landis says, “Putting your green thumb to good use will always have a positive effect on the government.”

“It’s great to see young people in particular get involved in large numbers regarding climate change,” Landis says. “But it’s amazing how simple it is for everyone to get involved to save our most precious resources.”

O-Town and Colton Underwood Collaborate on New Song 'Hello World'

Remember O-Town? They've got a new track, "Hello World", featuring former NFL player and ABC's The Bachelor star, Colorado's own Colton Underwood. The track can be streamed via Spotify and downloaded via iTunes.

"Hello World" is a product of Colton Underwood and O-TOWN member Jacob Underwood's friendship. Shortly after Colton approached Jacob about writing a song to help raise money and awareness for his charity, the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation, Jacob penned "Hello World". Then, O-TOWN and Colton recorded the song together in San Diego.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of "Hello World" will be donated to the Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation. The Legacy Foundation is a non-profit organization that was created by Colton Underwood to empower people with cystic fibrosis to live fully, dream big and support each other. The foundation raises funds for research and provides equipment and resources for people of all ages living with cystic fibrosis.


Colton Underwood says, "Very excited to be releasing 'Hello World' and grateful to O-TOWN for partnering up! They are so great to be using this song to help raise funds for the Legacy Foundation and I know it's going to be big! It's a fun song to listen to, but most importantly, an anthem for anyone to live your best life. It's not only for the CF [Cystic Fibrosis] warriors, but for anyone out there dealing with anything in life."

O-TOWN's Jacob Underwood adds, "There's nothing more rewarding than the opportunity to use our God-given gifts to help people in need. This song is very special to me, and I hope that it becomes an anthem not only for the kids effected by Cystic Fibrosis, but anyone who has chosen to live their best life in the face of pain and heartache. I'm incredibly honored that Colton asked me to write this song and I hope you can feel the love behind the lyrics."

"Hello World" originally premiered via Entertainment Tonight alongside an exclusive interview. Read here.

OP/ED: Jussie Smollett is exploiting the diversity, inclusion, and equality movement

By Christopher Coleman
 
Empire actor, Jussie Smollett’s attack on January 29, was regarded as a possible hate crime. Now, it is being reported as staged. I do not retract the conversation in my previous newsletter surrounding hate crimes in America, but I retract my support of Jussie Smollett. His efforts to imitate a hate crime was exploitation. Let me explain. Let’s start here, I intentionally say imitate a hate crime because these crimes are real. 

Warning for D&I Advocates, Allies, and Social Justice Activists: The naysayers and people who are in direct opposition of diversity, inclusion, and equality will use this ‘Cry Wolf’ incident as proof that hate crimes and other injustices, does not exist in America. The truth has to prevail on both sides of the fence of this story. People are being terrorized for not being an atypical American. We do not value peoples differences in this country. 

I will admit I was a big fan of Jussie Smollett. I have been to a few of his CD signings and concerts. I even have pictures with him. As much as I was a fan of Jussie, I am a bigger protester against Diversity Exploitation. That is utilizing an individual or a group of individuals oppression for your own benefit. If this is not a term yet, I am coining it as one. I believe, Jussie aimed to use the struggle of being a person of color and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in hopes to catapult his career and notoriety. In my opinion, this is just as damaging and wrong as a hate crime. 

This is the way Diversity Exploitation works. One can use their connection with a disadvantaged group as a bargaining chip for recognition or monetary gain. It’s more complex than what some have called, “Playing the Whatever Card.” It is not about getting what you want or need because you are who you are. The individual converts their relationship and commonality with the group into a tool to create an outcome that favors them. It’s about bringing attention to oneself in order to be single out and praised for your connection with the group. Example: Because I am a wheelchair user I expect a ramp to be a the entrance of a place of business. However, if I expected that ramp to be lighted up and lined with red carpet because I am enduring and overcoming the challenges of being a part of the disabled community, I would be exploiting my connection with the community. 

This is what I believe Jessie was expecting to be the outcome of a publicity stunt. He believed by saying he has suffered greatly as a black gay man in America people would raise him up to become the Nelson Mandela of black gay youth. But suffering because of issues of diversity cannot be fabricated. Real change is the product of real trials and tribulations. 

This was an immature career move. As an aging, disabled, gay man of color, I can guarantee you, all Jessie had to do is step out of the luxury and bubble of Hollywood to connect with the hate, segregation, and pain associated with being a person with differences. The struggle is real for anyone who is a member of any disenfranchised group. In this political, economic, and social climate, there is no need to fabricate hate, pain, and discrimination. 

Mr. Smollett has used his fans, supporters, and the media as an attempt to elevate his career. In order to be a hero for our LGBTQIA+ teens and a man in which organizations such as HRC, GLAAD, and It Get’s Better can honor; he must first be a man of integrity. We cannot afford to give our allies, nor our enemies, a reason to think the struggle of being a person with differences is not a hard and real struggle in America. Oppression does not need to be dramatized any more than it needs to be minimized. 

I would also like to take a moment to encourage Jessie not to show up on 'Iyanla Fix My Life' claiming to have had some mental illness or emotional breakdown. That would be yet another demonstration of Diversity Exploitation. There are mentally and emotionally ill people who make bad decisions due to their illness yes! But. Mr. Smollett's bad decision was premeditated and calculated. The fight for diversity, inclusion, and equality is a noble fight, fought with compassion, justice, and truth. 

Now this imitated hate crime is headed to a Grand Jury because Jussie was right about one thing, there are people waiting in the background to take him down. Men and women who are much more powerful than the guys he claimed attacked him. These powerful people are waiting for any excuse to take down a gay person of color with a political message and he just gave them the ammunition to do so. There are 3 things I would suggest Mr. Smollett do at this point:
  • Apologize to his fans and supporters. 
  • Take a year or more off to get his mind ‘right.’ 
  • Start from the bottom again, and rebuild his career.
Yes, I believe we should all be given a second chance when the time is right. God knows we have all made mistakes and most of us are fortunate enough not to see our mistakes played out in the media. But I must reiterate, Diversity Exploitation is something we cannot afford to tolerate. However: someone may say I am trying to do the same thing by speaking up on this issue. Don’t get it twisted, I am using this issue as a tool to educate people, not elevate my career. 

Christopher Coleman is a Keynote Speaker, Diversity Consultant, Inclusive Leadership Coach, and the CEO of Unconfined Life Institute.
