NEW AMY WINEHOUSE DISC "LIONESS" TO FEATURE ONE NEW RECORDING

Amy Winehouse in Toronto May 2007

With news of the first Amy Winehouse release coming post-humously titled Lioness: Hidden Treasures, Fans need a Buyer Beware that this in fact is not the long-awaited third full Studio Album they've been waiting for. Lioness also is the name of her Record Label, launched in 2009.

In fact, of the twelve tracks on the Disc, only one is in fact technically "new", titled Between the Sheets produced by long-time collaborator Salaam Remi. The remainder of the Tracks appear to be Covers, Demos and Out-takes from prior Albums which already have surfaced the Internet prior.

The Track Listing is as follows:

BRYAN ADAMS CONFIRMS HE'S A FATHER

Bryan Adams in Toronto - March 2011

Congratulations, Bryan Adams! People Magazine reports that Adams became a Father on Good Friday April 22, 2011 to a Baby Daughter, Mirabella Bunny. The Mother is an employee of Adams' named Alicia Grimaldi, who has overseen some of his charitable efforts under the Bryan Adams Foundation since 2004.  

There still is no confirmation to whether or not Adams and Grimaldi are actually a Couple, although he did say in his Statement that Grimaldi "helped me start my Foundation years ago and it looks like she'll be running the Family now!".... so take that for what it's worth.

 It's never too late.

SHANIA TWAIN RECEIVES CANADIAN MUSIC HALL OF FAME AWARD FROM BRYAN ADAMS AT 2011 JUNO AWARDS

Shania Twain at 2011 Juno Awards

Shania Twain received a Heroine's Welcome Home earlier this evening at Air Canada Centre during the live televised broadcast of the 40th annual Juno Awards. Receiving the Canadian Music Hall of Fame Award from Friend and former Recipient Bryan Adams, a radiant Twain received a warm round of applause from the audience.

In a congratulatory Video Message from Grammy Winner Taylor Swift, she credits Twain as being "the reason I'm doing this.".  Twain was then on-stage and in her Speech told the audience, "I'm just so proud of Canada's talent", before promising new Music soon.

Accompanied by her Swiss Husband Frederic Thiebaud, the recently-wed Couple could be seen rocking out to Canadian Band Hedley's ballad Perfect, cheering along loudly as captured in this Video I got of them below. They were so close but so far away!

Watch the happy Couple below:

BRYAN ADAMS TWEETS PHOTO FROM MR. WILL-W.

Bryan Adams ReTweets my Photo of him

Umm... Yah.  If it's good enough for the Photographer himself who's been featured in the likes of Vogue, Interview, Esquire and Harper's Bazaar, it's good enough for me.  Bryan Adams appeared to have liked my photo of him leaving MTV Canada last night enough to Tweet it to his Followers on Twitter earlier today.  

In Canada, we spell it with a "u":  HONOURED.

And this is why I do what I do.  Often the Celebrities appreciate it, as do the Fans.  And most of all, I appreciate it and everything I do, I do it for you.

In case you missed it, here's the original posting about Adams' Live at the Rehearsal Hall performance.

BRYAN ADAMS IN TORONTO FOR BRAVO'S "LIVE AT THE CONCERT HALL"

Bryan Adams at MTV Canada

One of Canada's greatest male artists ever, Bryan Adams, flew in to Toronto this evening to do a quick performance at MTV Canada for its sister network Bravo's Live at the Concert Hall series.  Having sold over 100 million albums worldwide, the Grammy, Golden Globe and Juno Award winner is now promoting his new acoustic album Bare Bones, a first from label Decca.  The Album containing 20 of his biggest hits re-recorded with pared-down arrangements, is due in stores November 16, 2010.  Earlier in the year, Adams completed a World Tour in which he performed these new versions of his classics.

Outside the venue, the intimate audience could be heard clapping and cheering loudly for Adams during the hour-long set, before capping off the performance with 2002 hit Back to You.  As per Adams' Driver, I was advised that he would be in a rush to head off to the Airport after the show. Upon leaving the venue, Adams could be seen trying to finish a post-performance snack of a Banana. With a small group of fans waiting about for Autographs, Adams entered his Town Car before rolling down his window to personalize items passed his way.

One male fan asked Adams if he could simply just sign a photo without a personalization on it, to which he replied, "What's your name?  I'm not going to sign it if it's not to you".  Capping it off at one Autograph per fan, Adams' Driver proceeded to drive off, leaving a few fans disappointed.  Luckily, I got my copy of his 1993 Best-of Collection So Far So Good personalized, despite Adams admitting that his own signature isn't much to look at.  Love him nonetheless!

The broadcast of Adams' Bravo appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 9:00 PM EST, allowing for plenty of time for post-production and touching-up. You can refer to their website for more details  (thanks Kelly!).

Expressing a bit of displeasure at one fan trying to photograph him ("Get that damn Camera out of my face"), these are the best shots I could get of Adams as he would continually block shots with Fan Memorabilia.
