Jessica Simpson Was In Cedars Sinai!





























Thats right. The same place Steve-O was in. Could imagine them having
hot monkey sex with each other in a broom closet? I can! Anyway, her reps
are saying it was because of a kidney infection but are saying she is feeling
great now. How the hell do you even know when you are having a kidney
infection? I personally think the kidney infection thing is just a cover up
for some wrong doing. I can barely imagine Jessica Simpson on drugs. But
it is possible. I don't think it is outside the realm of possibility. Anyway she
is back to normal, if you want to call her normal. Source

BUSH HEARS THE FIRST AMENDMENT EXERCISED !



KIND OF MIXED - A FEW LOUD BOOS SOME CHEERS, BUT HE IS BY FAR THE THE BEST BASEBALL THROWING PRESIDENT EVER !

KEITH RICHARDS LIKES TO GET HIGH ???


CIGARETTE perched out of the corner of his mouth, he has wowed stadiums with his guitar playing for years.

But Rolling Stone Keith Richards reckons most of his life has been lost in a haze of smoke.

And the rock ’n’ roll survivor admits he still likes to get stoned out of his mind on cannabis.

“Keef”, whose career has been awash with drugs, confesses: “I smoke my head off. I smoke weed all the damn time. There, you’ve got it.

“But that’s my benign weed. That’s all I take, that’s all I do.

“But I do smoke and I’ve got some really good hash.”

Keith and Stones singer Mick Jagger were famously arrested in 1967 when police raided Richards’ country home in Sussex.

‘ The drugs? They were great. Drugs now? I'm on medication. Drugs . . . wonderful things, I don't see anything . . . it's a very dodgy subject ’

The former heroin addict was criticised when he breached the newly imposed smoking ban by lighting up a cigarette on stage during a gig at London’s O2 Arena last August.

He responded by EATING a fag on stage at a Stones show a few days later.

Hitting out at the controversial ban, he said: “It’s a drag because you’ve got to freeze your balls off to light a cigarette, you’ve got to go outside.

“It’s draconian – socially, politically-correct bulls***. That’s what it is. They’ll get over it.

“It’s like prohibition, they tried to stop booze once. Ha, look what happened. It ruined America.”

Keith goes on to reveal he SPITS at Stones drummer Charlie Watts on stage if he can’t keep up his interest on the show. And Charlie has confirmed: “He does – so it’s good for him not to get bored!”


Keith is writing his life story – but unsurprisingly finds racking his brain difficult.

And maybe it’s not just the drugs. He underwent brain surgery in 2006 after he suffered head injuries falling out of a tree on the island of Fiji.

Mick Jagger is said to have had memory problems too. He once handed back a seven-figure advance for his autobiography, claiming he couldn’t remember much of significance.

Keith admits: “I can’t even remember yesterday. I’m trying to put together an autobiography and it’s coming along.

“You have to drag things out of your memory. Some of it you don’t even want to remember and others you’ve totally forgotten, so you end up trying to put your life together again.

“And since I didn’t keep a diary it’s a bit difficult.

“It’s a little bit like life, really. Some of it’s a little bit painful and some of it you go, ‘Yeah, I forgot about that, or that was great’.

“But it’s reviewing yourself and that’s not my habit.”

So do the Stones talk when they’re not on the road?

Hellraiser Keith says: “Not a lot really, probably once a year.

“A few faxes, notes here and there. If you’re stuck on the road for two and a half years together you’ve said just about everything you’ve got to say to each other.

“Faxes are as far as I get, then you can do drawings – you can express yourself. It’s like getting a letter.

“I never need to be in touch with people that immediately. I really despise gossip.

‘ I hate phones. I have nothing to do with them. I don't even have a mobile phone. ’

When the band are not on tour or recording Keith admits he does very little.

He says: “I tell you what I do when I’m not working with The Stones, I kick back, baby.

“Go get a tan, lie on the beach. Wait for the tour to wear off. I’ve read every book ever written. I’m running out. Somebody please write one!”


Keith was speaking just days before Wednesday’s London premiere of the new Stones movie.

Shine A Light is directed by Oscar-winning film legend Martin Scorsese, who recorded the band over a two-day period at the Beacon Theatre in New York in 2006.

Footage from the shows is intercut with backstage shots, archive material and new interviews.

Keith says of the old footage: “It’s kind of strange when you go back – you know, Mick with that cute little smile.

“It’s a strange thing in a way because it’s like your history and the strange thing is that we’ve grown up with everything being recorded. I mean, our whole life is basically either on film or on tape and you kind of get used to it.”

Of the movie with Goodfellas and Raging Bull director Scorsese, he said: “When they first said they wanted to shoot another movie of the Stones on stage I said forget about it.

“How many have we done? But then they said ‘by Martin Scorsese’ and of course the whole thing changed because this man makes movies.

“Once Martin was involved with it I just wanted him to do whatever it is he does.

“I wanted to stay out of the way and give him what he wanted, which was a Stones show.”

Asked if he was comfortable watching himself on screen, Keith adds: “By now, yeah. I got used to it. I liked me when I was younger.

“When you’re on stage we’re basically, as we say, in our office.

“We started off playing clubs. In fact, it took us a while to get out of them but small rooms have a different ambience to outdoors, and especially when there’s two million people you can’t quite see the end of.”

As he looks forward to his 65th birthday in December, the rocker insists the band have no thoughts of retiring.

“Give us a gig and we’ll play it,” he says.

“It’s what we do – it’s as natural as that.

“If I was a plumber I’d come around and fix your toilet. Sometimes if I can’t sleep I take the guitar to bed. We’re stuck. We’re melded.”

KEVIN SPACEY DOES IMPRESSIONS ! ! !

WORLDS OLDEST RECORDING - APRIL 10TH 1860 !


For more than a century, since he captured the spoken words “Mary had a little lamb” on a sheet of tinfoil, Thomas Edison has been considered the father of recorded sound. But researchers say they have unearthed a recording of the human voice, made by a little-known Frenchman, that predates Edison’s invention of the phonograph by nearly two decades.

The audio historian David Giovannoni with a recently discovered phonautogram that is among the earliest sound recordings.

The Phonautograph Recording from 1860 of 'Au Clair de la Lune' (mp3)
1931:
An Audio Excerpt from a 1931 Recording of the Same Song (mp3)


The 19th-century phonautograph, which captured sounds visually but did not play them back, has yielded a discovery with help from modern technology.

The 10-second recording of a singer crooning the folk song “Au Clair de la Lune” was discovered earlier this month in an archive in Paris by a group of American audio historians. It was made, the researchers say, on April 9, 1860, on a phonautograph, a machine designed to record sounds visually, not to play them back. But the phonautograph recording, or phonautogram, was made playable — converted from squiggles on paper to sound — by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif.

“This is a historic find, the earliest known recording of sound,” said Samuel Brylawski, the former head of the recorded-sound division of the Library of Congress, who is not affiliated with the research group but who was familiar with its findings. The audio excavation could give a new primacy to the phonautograph, once considered a curio, and its inventor, Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, a Parisian typesetter and tinkerer who went to his grave convinced that credit for his breakthroughs had been improperly bestowed on Edison.

Scott’s device had a barrel-shaped horn attached to a stylus, which etched sound waves onto sheets of paper blackened by smoke from an oil lamp. The recordings were not intended for listening; the idea of audio playback had not been conceived. Rather, Scott sought to create a paper record of human speech that could later be deciphered.

But the Lawrence Berkeley scientists used optical imaging and a “virtual stylus” on high-resolution scans of the phonautogram, deploying modern technology to extract sound from patterns inscribed on the soot-blackened paper almost a century and a half ago. The scientists belong to an informal collaborative called First Sounds that also includes audio historians and sound engineers.

David Giovannoni, an American audio historian who led the research effort, will present the findings and play the recording in public on Friday at the annual conference of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

Scott’s 1860 phonautogram was made 17 years before Edison received a patent for the phonograph and 28 years before an Edison associate captured a snippet of a Handel oratorio on a wax cylinder, a recording that until now was widely regarded by experts as the oldest that could be played back.

Mr. Giovannoni’s presentation on Friday will showcase additional Scott phonautograms discovered in Paris, including recordings made in 1853 and 1854. Those first experiments included attempts to capture the sounds of a human voice and a guitar, but Scott’s machine was at that time imperfectly calibrated.

“We got the early phonautograms to squawk, that’s about it,” Mr. Giovannoni said.

But the April 1860 phonautogram is more than a squawk. On a digital copy of the recording provided to The New York Times, the anonymous vocalist, probably female, can be heard against a hissing, crackling background din. The voice, muffled but audible, sings, “Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit” in a lilting 11-note melody — a ghostly tune, drifting out of the sonic murk.

The hunt for this audio holy grail was begun in the fall by Mr. Giovannoni and three associates: Patrick Feaster, an expert in the history of the phonograph who teaches at Indiana University, and Richard Martin and Meagan Hennessey, owners of Archeophone Records, a label specializing in early sound recordings. They had collaborated on the Archeophone album “Actionable Offenses,” a collection of obscene 19th-century records that received two Grammy nominations. When Mr. Giovannoni raised the possibility of compiling an anthology of the world’s oldest recorded sounds, Mr. Feaster suggested they go digging for Scott’s phonautograms.

Historians have long been aware of Scott’s work. But the American researchers believe they are the first to make a concerted search for Scott’s phonautograms or attempt to play them back.

In December Mr. Giovannoni and a research assistant traveled to a patent office in Paris, the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle. There he found recordings from 1857 and 1859 that were included by Scott in his phonautograph patent application. Mr. Giovannoni said that he worked with the archive staff there to make high-resolution, preservation-grade digital scans of these recordings.
