NBC has ended its relationship with real estate mogul and presidential candidate Donald Trump By Desert Star Staff NBC’s announcement on Monday severs its 12-year relationship with Trump, in the latest blowback again the real estate mogul for insulting Mexicans and immigrants. “At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to recent derogatory statements by Donald
Trump regarding immigrants, NBC Universal is ending its relationship with Mr. Trump,” NBC said in the statement. As part of its decision, NBC won’t air the Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, both joint ventures with Trump and said he will no longer host the popular ‘The Apprentice’ series. Trump fired back saying he
had already told the network, he wasn’t going to host ‘The Apprentice’ series because of his bid for the White House. In a statement distributed by his office, he told NBC that he stood by “his statement of illegal immigrants” and NBC is “weak and like everybody else is trying to be politically correct,” and is why he thinks the country is in
The Secret Woid is… GROUCHO!
By Desert Star Staff Rancho Mirage, CA - The Coachella Valley Repertory (CVRep) has just announced that Award-winning actor and director Frank Ferrante will recreate his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx in his fast paced 90 minute, hilarious production of Frank Ferrante An Evening With Groucho to be presented at the CV Repertory Theatre in Rancho Mirage, August 28, 29, and 30. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners,
anecdotes and songs including “Hooray for Captain Spalding” and “Lydia the Tattooed Lady”. The audience literally becomes part of the show as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style. Accompanied by his onstage pianist Mark Rabe, Ferrante portrays young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers, Harpo, Chico Zeppo and Gummo, as well as Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields and the well-known Marx foil, Margaret Dumont.
Frank Ferrante is an actor, director and producer described by The New York Times as “the greatest living interpreter of Groucho Marx material.” Discovered by Groucho’s son Arthur when Frank was a drama student at the University of Southern California, Frank originated the off-Broadway title role in Groucho: A Life in Revue (written by Arthur) portraying the comedian from age 15-85. For this role, Frank earned New York’s Theatre World Award and an Continues on Page 2
serious trouble. “If NBC is so weak and so foolish not to understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court,” Trump said
in the statement. “Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.” The backlash has been prompted by remarks made during his presidential campaign announcement on June 16. Continues on Page 5
Historic ruling!
Story and Photo by Pat Krause The Supreme Court of the United States, SCOTUS, made a momentous decision on Friday June 26th when they said that homosexual marriage was legal in all 50 states. This historic ruling has been on the agenda for some time and when the ruling was lastly announced, all lesbian, gay; bisexual and transgender people felt one right had been finally allowed. Celebrations were planned in advance of this ruling in hopes this landmark ruling would pass. A press conference was held at noon on June 26th at the LGBT Community Center of the Desert in Palm Springs after the decision was announced. CEO of The Center, Mike Thompson, Legislative Strategist Geoff Kors, National Center for Lesbian Rights, Roberta Conroy and Board Member, Human Rights Campaign, Andy Linsky addressed the Press. Each spoke about the decision and the impact the announcement will have on gay rights. They said
Love Won and confirmed the pursuit of happiness for all was finally assured. It took over 30 years for many brave persons to bring about equality and dignity for all LGBT people. They said the fight for equality is not over. There are still 30 states where you can be fired for being gay. There needs to be more done about discriminations in the workplace. Education is all-important for people to understand that being gay is not a choice. They spoke about their range of emotions when they heard the ruling had passed. They also said that more work was just beginning to bring equality for all and discrimination to an end. Public perception has changed, as many people know an LGBP person, and the media, film and TV have brought it to the forefront for more acceptability. They said we need to vote in more legislators that will help in the fight. Many states have now allowed gay marriage but there will be test cases for those states with Anti-Gay Marriage laws.
A huge party was planned at the Francis Stevens Park, and entertainment was planned for this celebration even before the announcement in hopes the decision was favorable. Hundreds got together at the park to celebrate same-sex marriage now being legal. It was a great day for all concerned with equality for everyone.

Nurses, Christy Bennett and Counselor, Jennifer Bennett Story and Photos by Pat Krause The YMCA campers were at their campsite for their annual outing. The kids were asked to leave the Big Bear area and their campsite when fires approached. The campers were only given a short time to leave the campsite when the fire became dangerously close. The campers still had over two days left at the campsite.
Supplies and camping gear were rushed into trailers in order to leave in case the fire became too close. It was a dangerous situation, and the kid’s safety was the main concern.

They munched on other foods as well. Williams said they made it happen with a lot of cooperation from all the other councilors and volunteers. The local DJ, Ray Phillips, volunteered to bring his equipment to the YMCA and provide the music for the dancing. Over one hundred kids and councilors enjoyed the dancing for the night. The real young and older teens could be seen dancing, jumping up and down and following the movements to the song YMCA and others. The kids were having great time thanks to all the efforts of Williams and the rest of the staff members. They worked hard to continue the camping experience so the kids would not be disappointed.

FBI, Homeland Security issue Holiday terror threat By Desert Star Staff US federal authorities have issued a terror threat warning to local law enforcement officials nationwide for the July 4 holiday, according to an anonymous US official cited by local media. No specific or credible threat has yet been indicated, but intel gathered by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI told local law enforcement authorities about threats from Islamic State and other terrorist groups, USA Today reported. The warning comes days after three deadly attacks in Tunisia, France, and Kuwait, in which scores of civilians were killed. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the three attacks. What has been dubbed “a day of terror” in the media followed IS calls for war on infidels. The terrorist group has urged attacks by “Muslims everywhere” during the holy month of Ramadan. On Friday, commenting on the attacks, Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson said local authorities were “vigilant and prepared’’ ahead of the
celebrations on July 4. “We will also adjust security measures, seen and unseen, as necessary to protect the American people. We continue to encourage all Americans to attend public events and celebrate this country during this summer season, but always July 3, 2015
remain vigilant,’’ he said. The secretary also referred to last week’s deadly Charleston church shooting, saying that such “acts of mass violence will never divert, discourage or frighten us.’’ The latest warning follows foiled attacks on US citizens
earlier this month: a potential assault on police officers in Boston, and a failed attempt to attack an FBI agent during a home search of an IS-related suspect. Alerts such as the latest one are frequently issued before major national holidays.

Mark Ruffalo Interview - The Art and Challenge of Acting & Family
By Beverly Cohn Part 1: Discussion of His Character’s Bipolar Disorder & The Inherent Struggles Any time Mark Ruffalo’s name appears in the cast of a project, you know he will be giving an absolutely perfect performance. Hence, he is one of the most successful, sought after Hollywood actors. His total credits are too numerous to list, but here are some film highlights: Fox Catcher, Begin Again, Thanks for Sharing, Now You See Me, The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, Shutter Island, Zodiac, Collateral, We Don’t Live Here Anymore, “You Can Count on Me, In The Cut, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and The Kids Are All Right, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, along with SAG, BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award nominations. Equally at home in television or the stage, he earned a Tony Award nod for his performance in Clifford Odets Awake and Sing, and for his performance in the television movie, The Normal Heart, he was cited for an Emmy Award. Ruffalo took a turn behind the camera when he directed Sympathy for Delicious, in which he also played the role of Father Joe. Ruffalo is married to Sunrise Colgney and has three daughters. Ruffalo’s latest film is Infinitely Polar Bear in which he plays Cam Stuart, a man with a serious bipolar condition. Written and directed by Maya Forbes, this is a true story based on her father who was actually named Cam Stuart. Once again, Ruffalo gives a riveting, spellbinding performance as this troubled man who becomes the primary caretaker of his children while his wife goes off to New York to get an advanced degree. Zoe Saldana co-stars as his wife Maggie, with Imogene Wolodarsky, the writer/director’s real-life daughter playing Amelia, and Ashley Aufderheide as their other daughter Faith. A most engaging Ruffalo recently sat down with a select group of journalists to talk about the film, as well as very personal subjects, and the following has been edited for content and continuity for print purposes. How are you? Ruffalo: I’m a bit jag lagged. Where did you fly in from? Ruffalo: New York. Is that where you live? Ruffalo: Yes.
Was it necessary for your character to chain smoke throughout the entire film and were they prop cigarettes and were there any after effects? Ruffalo: Yeah. I smoked a lot. They were props, but herbal cigarettes aren’t any safer than regular cigarettes. When I wrapped this, I ended up in bed for two weeks with a terrible

upper respiratory infection. When I’d start a scene, Maya would say, “I think it’s great. I just have one note. I think you should have a cigarette.” I said Maya, “I’m smoking in every single scene. The people are going to go crazy.” She said, “I’m telling you, it’s right – just trust me,” and when I watched the film, I go oh yeah, I get it.
I thought you should go for a chest x-ray. Ruffalo: (Laughs) I’d probably see that it’s quietly killing me. I remember the time when people always had cigarettes in their mouths. My family was like that. It was the 70s. It was everywhere. I remember sitting in a dentist’s office and people smoking around me. There were ashtrays in doctors’ offices and in emergency rooms. It’s not that long ago, but it feels like it never happened.
As the temporary primary caretaker, despite his bipolar disorder, Cam (Mark Ruffalo) is a devoted, loving father to daughters Amelia (Imogene Wolodarsky) and Faith (Ashley Aufderheide.) Photo: Courtesy Sony Pictures Classics rehearsal, which was about ten days before we started shooting, we were already very comfortable and understood a lot about each other, including our mutual sense of humor. She’s totally game and not afraid. She’s playful and what she has that’s so perfect for her character is this kind of indomitable positivity. That’s really what Maya’s mother Peggy had. We got to work with her quite a bit. I think her spirit is what buoyed them through all the difficult times. Zoe and I also happened to live near each other during the shoot and we all hung out together. I would cook for everyone, which was great for the movie.
Your character of Cam is very complex. How do you find the right tone for him, and do you know anyone who is bipolar? Ruffalo: Hopefully, it’s the right tone. I grew up with people who are bipolar and know people who are bipolar. Bipolar isn’t a person so I felt that the most important thing was to capture who Cam is and then lay the bipolar onto that. Bipolar is really just the extremes in emotions. There is a sliding scale where those emotions go, right? Things just get way out on both sides. A lot of that was written into the How would you describe script and Maya did a great job Cam? of helping me with that. Ruffalo: Essentially, Cam is a curious, child-like poetical Did Maya share a lot about guy who, I think, had a great her growing up experience with appetite for life and was very her dad and was that a major whimsical. He was the son of part of your research? this blueblood aristocracy and Ruffalo: Yes. I was trying I didn’t understand why that to get as much as I could of him. family didn’t help him. I didn’t Pictures. Recordings. Letters. understand their rules, including Videos. But mostly it was the ways of speaking, and all the dos stories that informed me who he and don’ts that don’t have any was. There were a lot of funny rhyme or reason to them, other things he did that didn’t make it than that was the way they did it. into the film. I had a piece of I’m blue collar. I joked with Maya video that was probably eight that her family came over on the minutes long. It was him hanging Mayflower a couple of hundred out with the girls and then having years ago, while my family rowed breakfast with his mother and over in a rowboat like fifty years father. That became a great ago. (Laughter) tool for me to get an idea of his lifestyle, mannerisms, and the What was the most fun part way he carried himself. of your character? Ruffalo: The fun part was How did you develop your riding those extremes. It’s all relationship with Zoe Saldana as grounded in his deep, un-abiding your wife? love for his daughters and his Ruffalo: It took several belief in his family. What’s so years to get this movie financed, touching about him is that while so Zoe and I were cast in it years his illness prevents him from before we ever made the film.

You plant a seed and even girls. if you go away, when you come back, it’s still there growing. Can you explain the What you don’t normally get difference in Cam’s behavior in making a movie is the long when he was on Lithium vs. when period of gestation where you he was not taking the drug? become really comfortable with Ruffalo: A lot of these the material and the characters. psychotropic drugs are We had that and it worked really really dulling and at that time well. So, by the time we got to physicians were over-prescribing July 3, 2015
Lithium. When you see Cam in the hospital, he’s heavily dosed, which manifested itself in this deadening and slurred speech, along with the shakes and water weight gain. It flattens everything out so there are no ups and downs. It’s an emotional band that’s very shallow in its highs and lows. Those were the biggest side effects to that drug. Why was Cam drinking so much beer? Ruffalo: The real Cam struggled with his bipolar disorder his whole life and he used alcohol. The way my character talks about taking steady sips of beer, isn’t a joke. Alcohol, at very low levels, basically does what Lithium does. It has a deadening effect. But if you go over a certain amount, then it starts to hit the same places as mania does. We did a screening for “Psychology Today,” followed by a panel discussion with specialists in the bipolar disorder. They talked a lot about how alcohol works with people who are manicdepressive and how they use it to manage it. But, it can eventually cause them to go into deeper mania and disassociation. They mentioned that they loved the way Cam was portrayed. What was your first reaction to the profanity in the dialogue from your two on-screen daughters? Ruffalo: It’s shocking but kind of funny when you hear it, but there are much worse things that could happen to kids than to say bad words now and again. I think the journey those girls make is from being helpless to being independent and in a weird way, they also take care of their father as much as he’s taking care of them. What were the most difficult scenes for you with the girls? Ruffalo: Yelling at them. Getting angry. Another tough scene was running next to the car and getting all my lines out. I didn’t want to have to do that more than four or five times. (Laughter) I couldn’t do it more than four or five times, especially with a cigarette in my mouth.
(Laughter) But I have to say making this movie was a joy. What do you think the audience take-away is on this film? Ruffalo: That there’s a lot of room for all kinds of different families. I really love the theme of family in this work. I think it creates space for people with mental illnesses that maybe films don’t generally give them. It allows dialogue and allows them to be people instead an illness and that ultimately love is the answer. I know for a fact that after Cam’s daughters went off into their lives, he had a much more difficult time keeping it together. How did his girls transcend their crazy upbringing? Ruffalo: Remember this is a true story and when you look at the by-product of this crazy, dysfunctional family, you have Maya Forbes, who is an incredibly accomplished writer, now director, a great mom, and a great mate. Her sister is China Forbes who is the lead singer of Pink Martini. She, too, has a great career and is also a great mom. So, they’re two strong women. I look at them and hope my girls turn out as well. I interview many actors and when I told some friends that I was interviewing you, they got excited and said things like “I love that guy.” You are well loved and respected and your work is always intriguing. Ruffalo: Thank you. You can never hear that enough. When I go home, they’re not like “You’re the best.” (Laughter) Thank you for this wonderful interview. Ruffalo: Thank you Beverly. In Part 2, Mark Ruffalo talks about his special needs children, the challenge of balancing his successful career with being dad and husband, the acting technique behind his development of memorable characters, the worlds he can visit by virtue of being an actor, plus more personal, intimate revelations. www.desertstarweekly.com
FILM Disney Pixar’s ‘Inside Out’ - An Insightful Mind Trip BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN
In the new Disney Pixar animated film “Inside Out” director/co-screenwriter Pete Docter gives you the chance to “meet the little voices inside your head” since we, like ll-yearold Riley Anderson in the story, are motivated and driven by our emotions throughout our lives. Baby Riley is a very happy camper as the story begins. Joy, a bouncy, luminous little figure clad in green (voiced by Amy Poehler), dwells deep inside Riley’s brain in an area known as Headquarters and cheerful Joy predominantly motivates Riley’s world. Eventually, Joy is joined by four other emotional figures—Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. In the beginning Riley’s unbridled enthusiasm for life, thanks to Joy, also gives her parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) great happiness as well, but things change when the family is uprooted from Minnesota and moved to San Francisco. At first, Riley tries to cope, but soon the other emotions in her head kick in. Now her internal joy is tinged by sadness, embodied by a little blue figure in a turtle neck sweater that wears big round glasses (voiced by Phyllis Smith, TVs “The Office”). The other inner emotions like Fear (Bill Hader of “Saturday Night Live”) begin to take a more active part in Riley’s psyche. Fear scares Riley more often to keep her safe in her new surroundings while Anger, shorttempered little red guy (comic Lewis Black) blows his fuses whenever things are unfair and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) tried to steer the young girl in the right direction now that she’s adrift, far from her old home and friends. And somewhere deep inside Riley’s sub-conscious mind Bing Bong (Richard Kind) her Imaginary Friend still remains. To put all of these emotional characters in proper perspective the filmmakers consulted with scientists in the field who noted that at times humans must deal
with as many as 27 emotions. For clarity, the emotional characters in Riley’s head have been limited to just Joy, Sorrow, Fear, Anger and Disgust. What makes the film so interesting is the way the animators take us inside the human mind, using five brightlycolored little beings to represent basic humane emotions. And while they sometimes seem to be acting at cross purposes, they actually try to keep their human functioning on many levels ranging from family connections and friendships to hobbies and social interaction. It may sound complicated, and it is, in a highly ingenious kind of a way, as five vibrant emotions take Riley on a journey through mood swings and eventual self-realization. “Inside Out,” like “Toy Story,” “WALL-E,” “Monsters Inc” and “Up,” which earned Docter an animated feature Oscar for his direction, is a film made for adults that children will also enjoy. In fact “Inside Out,” rated PG for mild thematic elements and action, may be too complicated for very young children to comprehend. However, the night we saw the film at the El Capitan; I noticed two very young children laughing as they left the movie. I asked their mom if they had liked the movie, and she replied, “They loved it. They didn’t really fully understand it, but they loved the bright, bouncy little figures that made them laugh.” Another mom said her son didn’t get the full meaning of the story like an adult would, but he identified with the characters representing emotions, and he particularly liked anger. “Inside Out” is a fine, intutive film for parents to experience with their kids since there are so many thought-provoking concepts in the stony line that could lead to meaningful discussions about pent up emotions. Psychology majors will also benefit from this truly perceptive romp through the human mind. When Oscar’s
Inside Out
time rolls around, it is almost a joyful certainty that “Inside Out” will be nominated for an animated Oscar—,and I am also quite sure it will take home the gold because it works on so many entertaining levels. “Inside Out” at the El Capitan Theatre is presented in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The 4k-laser projection adds brightness, contrast and brilliant color you can feel along with a sound system that moves audio around the theatre, even overhead. Before the movie you will experience “Music of Light,” an amazing 3-D stage show choreographed by Dave Scott, resident choreographer on “So You Think You Can Dance.” The 3-D stage show, like the movie, is mind blowing and fun. There is also an animated short “Lava,” an explosive musical love story about two volcanoes. For tickets and information call 1-800-DISNEY6 or online at www.elcapitantickets. com.
George Clooney in “The Descendants”
For fans of fun, family entertainment, be sure to watch “The Descendants” which will air on the Disney Channel on Friday July 31st at 8 pm. The entertaining family film, produced
and directed by Emmy Awardwinning director Kenny Ortega, is a live-action movie that takes a knowing wink at traditional fairy tales and fuses them together in a contemporary, music driven story about the challenges teenagers face when trying to live up to parental and personal expectations. Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Booboo Stewart and Sofia Carson star as the teen-aged sons and daughters of Disney’s
infamous villains like Maleficent (played and sang with gusto by Kristen Cheneweth), the evil Queen from Snow White, Cruella Deville and Jofar from Aladdin. It’s great fun for the kids, and parents will find it entertaining as well. I saw it on the Disney lot with my neighbor Ginger and her two preteen kids, Zane 11 and Gracie 9. Zane particularly enjoyed the fact that “the movie took oldfashioned fairy tales and made them modern for kids today.”

announcing his presidential campaign in June. “Macy’s is a company that stands for diversity and inclusion,” the department store said. “We have no tolerance for discrimination in any form. “In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy’s values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy’s since 2004.”

The Texas native playfully revisits her meteoric rise on “Dimestore Cowboy” (name dropping ‘Austin
City Limits,’ Willie Nelson and the ghost of Gram Parsons along the way) while skillfully tackling life’s big questions effortlessly in the contemplative “Somebody to Love” and poignant “Die Fun.” Information: kaceymusgraves. com.

Although he will celebrate his 70th birthday later this year, Young continues to champion his strong views on big business and corporate greed, destruction of the environment, threats to small-time American farmers and the world at large on his latest album “The Monsanto Years.” Backed by Promise of the Real (featuring Willie Nelson’s
sons Micah and Lucas Nelson), Young has crafted yet another masterwork. Young’s epic 2006 album “Living With War” is recalled via the grunge anthem “New Day For Love” while the tuneful Americana rocker “People Want to Hear About Love” would have been home on 1977’s “American Stars ‘n Bars.” Elsewhere the sparse “Wolf Moon” (with little more than minimal acoustic guitar, gentle percussion and some signature Young harmonica play) conjures up the beauty of our nation’s disappearing wilderness. Information: NeilYoung.com. Artist: Joy Williams Title: Venus (Sensibility) You might like if you enjoy: The Civil Wars, Johnnyswim, Kate Bush Tell me more: Life’s challenges often spur artists to create great music. Such is the case on Joy Williams’ “Venus.” One-half of the multi-Grammy winning Americana duo The Civil Wars, Williams first full-length outing since that duo
broke up in August 2014 will please fans of her previous work courtesy of folk-minded nuggets such as “Woman (Oh Mama)” and the gorgeous “One Day I Will.” But there is also material that expands her reach into art rock territory with the same gifted touch; the confessional “Before I Sleep,” riveting “Sweet Love of Mine” and introspective “Not Good Enough” exhibit the songstress’ expanded reach. While the events that gave life to the songs on “Venus” may have tested Williams (just listen closely to “You Loved Me,” “The Dying Kind” and “Till Forever”), the album itself is a joyous and life-affirming listen. Information: joywilliams.com.
to celebrate the 100th birthday of the father of Chicago blues on “Muddy Waters 100” is almost as impressive as the 15-track collection itself. Things kick off with the blues staple “Got My Mojo Working,” with Primer sharing lead vocals with Shemekia Copeland. Elsewhere Derek Trucks’ amazing slide guitar impresses on “Still a Fool,” and James Cotton blows his blues harp with the mighty firepower he displayed on the original 1957 recording. Texas blues champion Gary Clark Jr. conjures up some magic in his expressive electric guitar work on “Forty Days and Forty Nights.” Especially bittersweet is the uptempo Chicago blues gem “I’m Ready,” a cover of the title Title: Muddy Waters 100 track off Waters’ 978 album that (Raisin’ Music Records) was produced by Johnny Winter; You might like if you enjoy: on the new version Winter played Muddy Waters, John Primer, slide guitar on the track a mere Gary Clark Jr., Shemekia five weeks before his death in July Copeland, Johnny Winter 2014.

In the first season we saw how these three beautiful women used various marketing strategies, to grow their clientele and increase revenue for their business.

During the second season we’ll see how the marketing strategies used by Karin, Magali and Luna’s company become so effective that their brand is now

synonymous with elite status. But not all will be a success and Blue Ocean faces the evil that affects brands that achieve a high level of luxury: piracy.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
