My Publicist Note Book

Missy Elliot fans have somehow just realized that that garbled in Work It is in fact, actual words, and it has Twitter in a frenzy. The single was released in 2002 and since then people have just sung the gibberish bit exactly as it sounds. Although for others it had been pretty bleeding obvious from the beginning. The line following, “I put my thing down flip it and reverse it,” one of the trickiest portions of a song to navigate in the entire art of karaoke, is not “Fner nyer finipippy pal myap” but “I put my thing down flip it and reverse it,” reversed. Realizing that Elliott isn’t spitting gibberish must be one of the last examples of lyric-related pleasure to be had in the digital age, which has – through a combination of readily available audio technology and extreme nerdiness – largely ruined the misheard lyric. Through resources such as the Genius hive mind or the argumentative comments of songmeanings.com, almost every song has been dissected ad infinitum. The days o...

COURTESY OF DISNEY This is what makes Disney such a powerhouse. “Beauty and the Beast,” the studio’s latest live-action update of a cartoon classic, waltzed its way to a towering $170 million debut this weekend, setting a new record for a March opening and solidifying the Mouse House’s status as the dominant player in the film business. No other company can match the streak that Disney is currently enjoying, thanks to a series of multi-billion acquisitions that put the likes of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm in its Magic Kingdom. Last year, the studio accounted for more than a quarter of all domestic ticket sales, and 2017 brings the release of sequels to “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Cars,” and “Thor,” in addition to “Beauty and the Beast.” “I don’t know if they made a deal with the devil, but Disney is an awfully potent empire right now,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst at Exhibitor Relations. “You continue to shake your head and roll your eyes, but they can do no ...

ATLANTA  -- UNICEF ambassador and Hollywood actor Laurence Fishburne was honored during a special Evening for Children First here in Atlanta. He spoke about what drew him to their mission.

He has served as an ambassador for UNICEF since 1996 traveling to help children affected by disease, poverty and  war.  In 2010, he hosted an event in support of the organization's emerg ency relie f efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.

Backlash on social media over any tampering with the science-fiction creation NEW YORK — A reboot of “The Matrix” is said to be the works, but many fans would rather see Warner Bros. choose a different pill. Warner Bros. is gearing up to reboot  The Matrix ,  and many people have taken that to mean the studio will bring back original characters like Neo, Trinity and Morpheus. That’s not necessarily true. The terms remake and reboot get thrown around together, and people often assume they mean the same thing. There is a pretty big distinction between the two, however, and it’s important to note that Warner Bros. isn’t planning on remaking the original film. Any new “Matrix” film is in such an early stage that it may like countless other projects in development never amount to anything. Warner Bros. declined to share any details on its plans on Wednesday. But the report was enough to stoke a backlash on social media over any tampering with the Wachows...
