Entertainment News The Expendables 2... Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time -- six pounds of weaponsgrade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.

Jamie Michale’
W
e sat down with the beautiful and talented Jaime Michale’ and spoke to her
about life, music and future. What is your all-time favorite movie or song? Satin doll is the song, it reminds me of my father and how he talks to me about the 40's and 50's. When i was younger, he would sit at the piano with his hesitant smile and play. I adore that man! Do you have a Smartphone? If so, what's your favorite app... and why? Guilty! I would say calorie counter...lol… although less than often used, I love the idea of it! If we go by usage...Facebook.
Who do you count as your mentor(s)... and why? I don't know that I've ever really had an official mentor as much as just people who have at some point spoke into my life in that season. I think the people who are in your life are there for a reason so I try to learn from everyone. What was your very first job? I was 16 and a cashier at Publix supermarket. I wore that awful green vest proudly! Lol. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? The fact that I'm over critical of myself…I'm working on it but the mirror and I have had our battles. What do you consider your greatest success? Having and raising my kids, it is undoubtedly the hardest responsibility in the world. I wouldn't trade it in because they have been one of the biggest reasons for where I am and going, they inspire me and teach me everyday. I love them so very much. Tell us something about you most people don't know? When I was 6 years old, I won a huge 6ft stuffed rabbit in a drawing contest. The rabbit was 3x my size and I felt like I won the lottery, that is until the rabbit started to creep my out… lol.

I
f you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would they
be... and why? These questions always intimidate me as I usually never know how to answer...lol, but I would say Bill Cosby, I just love that guy, Eve (as in the first woman), and my grandfather on my dad’s side. I think we all want to know Why Eve Why! I could see Bill and I having a hay day with that woman..lol and then of course show grace in the end. I never got a chance to meet my grandfather, he passed away long before I was born. He would probably feel awkward meeting me for the first time and then throw in the other two.....oh, lord, you see, I’m terrible at this....lol, next question please! What is in your fridge right now? Almond milk, bacon, water and leftover spaghetti...lol and probably a bottle of white wine. I enjoy my glass of vino, especially after a long work day! If you could have a different career, other than what you're doing now, what would it be? I have a strong interest in the findings of Dr. Robert Young. I would go for my doctors degree in holistic/naturopath healing. What projects do you have working?
I am so excited to be partnered with “H” one of the industries top consultants in a brand new approach to the entertainment industry. The company is called RevY (RevelationY) which is a unique approach to how entertainment is delivered to the public and with a positive but yet hip message. We are on the brink of a winter 2012 launch so with out letting the cat out of the bag more to come on that. I am also finishing up my debut album with the greatest producers at Prosperity Records. This will be RevY first release. I'm excited to see where this all takes us.

hat can we expect from you as an Artist?
The biggest thing for me is to be candid. It's hard to live your life in the public eye and there is going to be ups and downs through the journey. I just want to be honest with where I'm at in that moment and share it, through my writing, music and any other opportunity. This is how we learn from each other. I have a funny feeling people watching me will get a laugh or two and that is ok, I'll be laughing too.

igital Platinum A&R is destined to become the music industry's "Leading
Independent Digital A&R and Artist Development Company." We are uniquely positioned to be utilized by major and independent record labels, A&R executives, agents, and producers who are seeking new and unique talent.
We have established relationships with industry managers, producers, executives, and A&R. These individuals and record labels tell us what it is they are looking for and we go about scouting the world of independent artists and unsigned acts to bring them the best of what we can find. Therefore, we are only looking for the "best of the best" in our selected genres of music. Digital Platinum A&R is always on the lookout for "elite talent". What do we mean by "elite talent without sounding elitist?" At one point we listened to, and evaluated, over 300 submissions over the course of 2 days and only chose 9 to forward on to our industry contacts. Our reputation is only as good as the talent we submit, so please understand why we can only work with who we feel is the "best of the best" in our selected genres. We streamline the selection process within the music industry by providing independent musicians with multiple platforms of monitored exposure to top music executives, A&R directors, managers, agents, and producers. In doing so, we offer music industry executives an efficient and unparalled tool for scouting original unsigned talent. The music industry traditionally does not accept unsolicited materials for two reasons: 1.They are being bombarded with far more material than they could ever listen to. 2.They constantly worry about possible copyright infringement suits. Digital Platinum A&R has been designed to make sure that the industry executives who list with us get only the material that is well worth their time, and minimize the risk of lawsuits for them by employing an effective procedure for tracking the material submitted. The result of our efforts is that people who really count in many areas of the music industry (not just record companies), are willing to accept material from people like you, because they come through an organization that minimizes the work and the risk for them. In other words, the artist has some sort of representation.

I
f your songs are forwarded by Digital Platinum A&R, they are treated as
solicited material. We essentially perform the same task that a producer or agent who shops music would. We just do it in a more focused and systematic way. We are not promising you instant success. We are, however, dedicated to giving you the most up-to-date information on who in the industry is looking for what, and to sending the best and most appropriate material directly to those people. We have invested more time and money than you would probably imagine to bring you this service, and we don't take our work lightly. This is not the amateur hour. Our reputation is determined by the quality of music we send our clients. •A&R directors searching for talent •Music industry professionals and executives •Entertainment and music managers / agents searching for new talent •Entertainment and music producers •Entertainment and music companies •Talent scouts looking for acts •Music industry jobs •Music industry contacts •Music industry events •Music industry news

American Beauty is my favorite movie... so much depth. It's a nice realistic approach to life. Do you have a Smartphone? If so, what's your favorite app... and why? I do have a Smartphone, but I'm completely intimidated and nervous about downloading apps! My phone is "prone to viruses," and I'm afraid that I'm going to be “THAT” person that gets app happy and ruins their phone! LOL Who do you count as your mentor(s)... and why? I would have to say that my mom is my biggest mentor. She's taught me everything that I know about life, and has been there to encourage me and help me work through things when I make mistakes. She is the reason that I am so optimistic. What was your very first job? Subway when I was 15. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? My willpower to not eat so much food!

I have pet snake! And no, he is not poisonous.
If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would they be... and why?
Lady Gaga- From her interviews, she seems like such an interesting, intellectual human being. You never hear about her negatively in the tabloids when it comes to her personal life, and I feel like she'd have a lot of wisdom to offer.
Chip Coffey- I'm a big believer in the paranormal, and I've always wanted to talk to someone who has the psychic gift! Not to talk to any dead people in particular, but it would just be very interesting to speak with someone that has that particular ability. I've always admired him.
Alexander McQueen- He had such fabulous taste in fashion. I would love to pick his brain! What is in your fridge right now? Soy Milk, fruit, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, grilled chicken, turkey dogs, organic eggs and wheat bread... I really need to go shopping. Lol. If you could have a different career, other than what you're doing now, what would it be? Nursing! I love people, and to be able to help people with their health, would be the next best thing!

From Left to Right: Lance Smith Lisa Spooner Charles Divins Jessica Reyes
“New look. New hosts. Same attitude.” That’s the promotional approach from “The Daily Buzz,” the nationally syndicated morning show that tapes in Orlando. The program will bring on a new team next month. The additions are Charles Divins, an actor who spent five years on the soap “Passions”; Lisa Spooner, who has anchored mornings at WFTX in Fort Myers; Lance Smith, who hosted CMT’s “Top 20 Countdown”; and Jessica Reyes, who was a radio personality in Tampa and official spokesperson for Toyota of Orlando. Their start date is Aug. 6, and “The Daily Buzz” begins its 11th season that day. The new team replaces Andrea Jackson and Andy Campbell. Mitch English and Kia Malone left the show last month. But English will return periodically as an “on-air tech expert.” Jackson will continue to offer lifestyle features for “The Daily Buzz” while hosting ”Life Love Shopping” on WEtv. The new show shoots on the same set at Full Sail University where “The Daily Buzz” is produced. Troy McGuire, vice president of “The Daily Buzz,” said he will weave Buzz-style news reports and motivational thinking into the show in the new season. The program will draw on local therapists and motivational speakers for the segments. “The Daily Buzz” has added two new comedy writers and has a total staff of roughly 40, the biggest in the show’s history, McGuire said. In 2005, “The Daily Buzz” reached 36 percent of the country, and McGuire estimated that the program will reach 72 percent when the new season starts. ”The Daily Buzz” airs at 6 a.m. weekdays on WRDQ-Channel 27.
