Holy Ground

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the fourth film in the Indiana Jones franchise, created by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. Released nineteen years after the previous film, the film acknowledges its star Harrison Ford's age by setting itself in 1957. It pays tribute to the science fiction B-movies of the era, pitting Indiana Jones against Soviet agents – led by Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett) – for a psychic alien crystal skull. Indiana is aided by his former lover Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) and their son Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf). Ray Winstone, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent are also part of the supporting cast. Shooting began on June 18, 2007, and took place in various locations: New Mexico; New Haven, Connecticut; Hawaii; Fresno, California; and on soundstages in Los Angeles. To keep aesthetic continuity with the previous films, the crew relied on traditional stunt work instead of computer-generated stunt doubles, and cinematographer Janusz Kamiński studied Douglas Slocombe's style from the previous films. Marketing relied heavily on the public's nostalgia for the series, with products taking inspiration from all four films. Anticipation for the film was heightened by secrecy, which resulted in a legal dispute over an extra violating his non-disclosure agreement and the arrest of another man for stealing a computer containing various documents related to the production. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released worldwide on May 22, 2008, and was a financial success, grossing over $786 million worldwide, becoming the second highest grossing film of 2008. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, but fan reaction was mixed. During the late 1970s, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg made a deal with Paramount Pictures for five Indiana Jones films. Following the 1989 release of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lucas let the series end as he felt he could not think of a good plot device to drive the next installment, and chose instead to produce The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which explored the character in his early years. Indiana Jones remains one of cinema's most revered movie characters. In 2003, he was ranked as the second greatest movie hero of all time by the American Film Institute. He was also named the sixth greatest movie character by Empire magazine. Entertainment Weekly ranked Indy 2nd on their list of The All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture. Premiere magazine also placed Indy at number 7 on their list of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time. Since his first appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark, he has become a worldwide star. On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Indy at number 10.

Colbie Marie Caillat, country singer-songwriter and guitarist from Malibu, California, debuted in 2007 with Coco, which included hit singles "Bubbly", "Realize", and "The Little Things". In 2008, she recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, "Lucky", which won a Grammy. Caillat released her second album, Breakthrough, in August 2009. On December 2, 2009, Breakthrough was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards. She was also nominated twice for Best Pop Collaboration, for her featured vocals on Jason Mraz's "Lucky" and her background vocals and writing on Taylor Swift's Breathe, and was part of the group that won Album of the Year for her background vocals and writing on Taylor Swift's Fearless.
The song is the follow-up to her worldwide debut hit "Bubbly", and was officially released in January 2008, peaking at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her second Top 20 hit in the U.S. The video for "Realize" was filmed in both Toronto, Ontario and Haliburton, Ontario Canada. Most of Colbie's driving scenes are on highway 121 and highway 118, two main arteries of the Haliburton region. As explained on her 2008 summer tour with John Mayer, there is a story behind this song. Caillat, Jason Reeves, and his roommate were a close group of three friends. Colbie was unaware that Jason's roommate had a huge crush on her, and when she found out about this later, she decided to base her song on this. Jason co-wrote the song from the perspective of his friend.

In 'Up and Running,' 15-year-old newcomer Jessica Jarrell croons about being ready jump into a new, exciting relationship, telling her man, "This right here's a classic, you goin' have to have it / If we get it running we can party 'till the sun comes up." Over strobing backbeats, the track is accessorized with Jarrell's Rhianna-sounding "Aye, Aye"s and rap interludes by recent solo artist and Gym Class Heroes MC Travie McCoy. Jarrell's R&B pop sound is a perfect asset to Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 tour, which kicked off this week, on June 23. Featured as the tour's opening act, Jarrell also sings alongside the Canadian pop star on 'Overboard,' the song that originally made a name for herself.
'Up and Running' is off her debut album -- expected out sometime later this year, hopefully this summer -- and follows her first single, 'Almost Love (24/7).' To hear Jarrell's new single, tune into AOL Radio's New Pop First station.

Cercetari recente au stabilit faptul ca dr Ralph Greenson nu a fost singurul cre credea ca Marilyn Monroe suferea probabil de schizofrenie paranoida cronica. Dr Greenson a obtinut a doua parere de la psihologul consultant dr Milton Wexler.(...) Egreu sa nu tii seama, atat de multi ani mai tarziu, de descoperirile celor doi doctori, nici sa te prefaci ca acestea nu au existat sau nu au avut sens. De-a lungul anilor, Marilyn Monroe nu a facut asta. In perioada de un an si jumatate dupa diagnosticul pus de dr Greenson si dr Wexler, a incercat din rasputeri sa tina boala in frau. A facut asta mereu. A continuat sa lupte, chiar daca stia ca era ceva in neregula cu ea.(...) Din nefericire, dr Greenson a devenit atat de zelos in tratamentul lui Marilyn si, prin urmare, a capatat o influenta atat de mare in viata ei, incat avea sa-si piarda credibilitatea odata cu trecerea anilor. Pare un sarlatan, mai ales pentru ca a invitat-o pe Marilyn la el acasa, a primit-o peste noapte si a introdus-o in viata lui de familie. Se parea ca-si pierduse obiectivitatea in ceea ce o privea pe actrita. In anii '50 si '60, se testau tot felul de tratamente noi pentru bolile mintale, iar Greenson considera ca a o primi pe Marilyn in casa lui reprezenta singura alternativa la internarea in spital. In dosarul sau despre cazul Marilyn, noteaza, negru pe alb, ca incerca sa gaseasca o modalitate pentru a o impiedica "sa se gandeasca din nou la sinucidere, pentru ca stiu ca de data asta nu va supravietui." Douglas Kirsner confirma:"Greenson s-a hotarat sa-si transforme familia in substitut pentru familia de care Monroe nu avusese parte, pentru ca s-ar fi sinucis mai devreme daca o interna intr-un spital de nebuni." Spre sfarsitul lui august 1961, Marilyn Monroe s-a intors la Los Angeles definitiv; locuia in apartamentul ei, de la intersectia Doheny cu Cynthia, in cartierul West Hollywood. Se zvonea ca avea sa se intoarca la flmari pentru o noua pelicula produsa de Fox, "Ceva trebuie sa cedeze". Nu era incantata de scenariu, simtea ca va avea mult de lucru si nici macar nu stia daca va fi un film bun. Cu toate astea, era obligata prin contract sa mai faca inca un film pentru Fox, iar acesta era filmul respectiv. In septembrie, Marilyn i s-a alaturat lui Frank Sinatra, care-si usese oaspetii pe iahtul personal, intr-o croaziera de patru zile in insula Catalina."Clar, formau un cuplu," a spus unul dintre petrecareti."Ea se purta ca si cum ar fi fost gazda, nu unul dintre invitati. Parea binedispusa, dar se vedea limpede ca nu se simte chiar bine. Din cate am inteles, avusese probleme sa ajunga in starea respectiva. Toata lumea stia ca nu se simte bine, ca se afla sub tratament medicamentos." In acea perioada, medicul principal al lui Marilyn, care lucra cu dr Greenson, era dr Hyman Engelberg. Marilyn devenise deja experta in arta de a face rost de medicamente de la doctori diferiti, care nu stiau unul de altul, incat cei doi nu puteau sa-si dea seama ce medicamente lua. Cand cerea confidentialitatea unui doctor, Marilyn o obtinea pentru ca era celebra. Apoi isi facea un stoc de medicamente cat de mare putea, inainte ca doctorul sa refuze sa-i dea altele. Apoi cauta alt doctor. Greenson si Engelberg au incercat sa tina sub control acest obicei, insa nu au aplicat cele mai bune metode."Ideea era sa nu-i spunem niciodata nu, cand dorea o reteta," spune Hildy Greenson, sotia dr Ralph Greenson, "deoarece singurul rezultat obtinut era ca s-ar fi dus in alta parte sa faca rost de medicamentele respective, fara sa-si informeze medicii principali. De fiecare data cand dorea un medicament nou, de obicei facea rost de el." Se pare ca aceasta idee nu a dat roade. Lista de medicamente pe care le lua Marilyn, spre sfarsitul anului 1961, era cutremuratoare. Dupa ce dr Greenson si dr Wexler au diagnosticat-o cu schizofrenie paranoida cronica, Marilyn Monroe a inceput sa ia un somnifer numit torazina. Pe atunci era un medicament nou, introdus in anii '50 pentru tratamentul schizofreniei. Insa, daca-l lua, s-ar fi ingrasat, iar acest lucru nu i-a placut. Daca nu mai lua torazina, slabea rapid. Insa, in acelasi timp, isi pierdea controlul. Cnad arata in forma maxima, ca in ultimul ei film, "Something's Got to Give", acest lucru se datora faptului ca renuntase la torazina.(...) Marilyn mai lua analgezicul demerol si antidepresivele HMC si amytal, pe langa doze mari de nembutal. Timp de foarte multi ani luase nembutal ca sa doarma, deci in mod sigur se putea vorbi despre dependenta.(...) Marilyn lua si seconal si nimeni nu stia de unde facuse rost de el. Mai mult, lua si clorhidrat pentru somn, iar dr Engelberg afirma ca nici el, nici dr Greenson nu i-au prescris niciodata asa ceva. Engelberg a pretins ca a fost uimit de numarul de medicamente gasit in corpul lui Marilyn la autopsie, inclusiv clorhidrat, pe care credea ca Marilyn l-a cumparat din Mexic, in calatoria pe care a facut-o acolo chiar inainte sa moara. Dupa moartea ei, pe masa de toaleta a lui Marilyn s-au gasit 15 flacoane de medicamente.(...) De asemenea, Mariln facea foarte multe injectii cu vitamine, ca sa-si sporeasca rezistenta impotriva racelii i a infectiilor sinusurilor - probleme de sanatate cronice, in cazul ei. Uneori facea cateva injectii pe saptamana. Spre sfarsitul anului 1961, Marilyn capatase obiceiul ingrijorator de a-si face singura injectii. Multe persoane din jurul ei au observat ca in geanta avea seringi si sticlute cu substante deja preparate - nu se stie de catre cine. O sursa foarte apropiata a actritei isi aminteste ca substanta consta dintr-un amestec de fenobarbital, nembutal si seconal."Marilyn o numea o injectie cu vitamine", spune sursa."Cred ca stiu cine i-a dat combinatia asta de medicamente, insa prefer sa nu dezvalui numele, pentru ca nu am o siguranta de 100%. Ceea ce stiu este ca dupa ce-si facea aceasta injectie era terminata, nu mai era in stare sa functioneze." Jeanne Martin isi amintea ca inainte de plecarea lor din casa lui Frank, pentru croaziera din august 1961, Frank a rugat-o sa o ajute pe Marilyn sa se imbrace. Era prea dezorientata din cauza medicamentelor ca sa reuseasca singura."A trebuit sa aleg fiecare haina si s-o imbrac, la propriu", isi amintea Jeanne."O intrebam tot timpul: Marilyn, te simti bine? Mie mi se pare ca nu te simti bine. Ea se uita la mine cu ochii pe jumatate inchisi si spunea : Oh, ma simt bine. Nu se poate mai bine. Eram ingrijorata. Ma intrebam cine ii da toate medicamentele astea? Ce doctor ar tine-o intr-o astfel de stare? Era foarte...cum sa spun...pierduta." In acel sfarsit de saptamana, Marilyn a baut destula sampanie in fiecare seara, ca intotdeauna. Cu cat bea mai mult, cu atat era mai dezorientata si mai zgomotoasa."A fost o seara atat de trista," isi aminteste Jeanne Martin."Nu mi-am luat o clipa ochii de la ea, pentru ca mi-era teama ca va aluneca si va cadea. Nu puteti sti cat de dificil a fost; doar daca ati fi cunoscut-o pe Marilyn si ati fi stiut ce femeie minunata era, cat de draguta era cu toata lumea. Imi doream sa se simta bine, insa in ziua aceea, la petrecere, mi-am dat seama ca nu se simtea bine. Nu se simtea bine deloc."(...) Pentru prietenii si colegii lui Marilyn, felul in care era in tare sa intre in pielea lui Marilyn Monroe cand avea nevoie, in timp ce era atat de bolnava psihic, ramane un mister. Era ca si cum isi gasea fericirea in fata camerei, in postura unei variante perfecte a propriei persoane. Restul - viata ei reala, cea pe care o traia zi de zi - palea prin comparatie. Adevarul este ca o modalitate rapida sa redevina Marilyn Monroe era aceea de a renunta la torazina; asta a facut, in acea perioada. Dupa parerea ei, cata vreme era slaba si senzuala...era Marilyn Monroe. Dupa doar cateva luni, cand reporterul Alan Levy a intrebat-o daca este fericita, raspunsul ei a fost:"Hai sa zicem asa:sunt slaba. Si pot sa fiu vesela oricand. Depinde de ocazie sau de compania in care ma aflu."

Another song from "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" has been out everywhere on the web in full stream. Unlike "Can't Back Down" which involves many cast members from the TV movie, this new one titled "Wouldn't Change a Thing" is performed solely by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas.

In an interview on Radio Disney earlier this year, Demi said, "That's [Wouldn't Change a Thing] close to my heart." She added, "It's probably one of my favorite parts of the movie." Beside the newly-revealed track, Demi and Joe also perform another joint track "You're My Favorite Song".
Featuring also Jonas Brothers, soundtrack album for the TV movie is up for sale in United States on August 10. Meanwhile, the sequel to 2008 "Camp Rock" is not going to be premiered until September 3.

The song was released as the album's third single on May 21, 2010. The song was written by Kesha, Pebe Sebert, with Ammo, who co-produced the song with Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. "Your Love Is My Drug"'s initial writing took place during a plane ride. Kesha stated the song had a carefree message and wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. Critical reception of the song has been mixed to positive. Critics complimented the hook but had mixed reactions with the chorus. Some praised Kesha for knowing her way around a strong pop chorus, while others called it predictable and dull. Prior to the release of Animal, the song charted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Since being released as a single it has gone on to reach the top five in Australia and the United States, as well as reaching the top ten in Canada. It has gone on to sell over two million copies in the US alone. Kesha performed the song alongside "Tik Tok" on the thirty-fifth season of Saturday Night Live where she was covered in glow in the dark tribal-like make-up. In the music video, Kesha is portrayed in the desert while being chased around by her love interest. The main idea behind the video is being so in love with someone that you lose your head, comparable to love being a drug. In an interview with MTV, Kesha stated the song was "written on an airplane, in like 10 minutes" and that the song had a carefree message; it is "stupid and fun" and not to be taken too seriously. When asked about the final line of the song ("I like your beard") and where it came from, Kesha explained, "I've always been into bearded dudes. Hello, I'm from Nashville, I'm into hillbillies[...] the redneck look is hot right now, and that's great for me. I'm over dudes trying to look like they're in boy bands." Kesha described the concept behind the video in an interview, "I wanted it to be like a psychedelic trip of the mind, comparable with being so disgustingly in love with someone that you lose your head." The song entered at number sixty-three on the UK Singles Chart, dropping off the chart the following week. The single re-entered the chart on the week of May 16, 2010, at sixty. On June 19, 2010 after four weeks of the single climbing the chart, it reached a new peak of thirteen. "Your Love Is My Drug" has spent more weeks in the UK top 20 than its higher charting predecessor "Blah Blah Blah".
