HEADLINE BREAKING, MISCHIEF MAKING ENTERTAINERS

Bwoy some artistes always inna trouble, everytime you tink dem give the headlines a break a dem dat again pon di double, dem can’t stay outta jail, mussi love pee pee inna pail?
Ninja Man a wha wrong wid u massa, mek your name eva call up inna criminal passa passa? But who come tek di cake a Luciano, him mussi stop consult the rasta teachings of Mortimer Plano?
People have it mek joke bout the ‘solid’ bust head he got the other day, and now it is alleged im a harbour criminal stray? No sa, not my ‘messenger’!
But all wha a gwaan his true fans stay steadfast and a pray.
Zebra dem release you and you seemed to have gone silent, people a say dem hope u begging for forgiveness and a repent.
I don’t know how some entertainers find it with themselves, to sing, deejay and chant their way into our youngsters hearts, including all those who go on stage and cuss up pure claat.
From tax evasion, to drug possession, gun crime and mischief making on-line, di ‘duppy’ dem a follow the idiot line that says “all publicity is good publicity, well my dears that will be to your folly!

Mr. Vegas launched his highly anticipated video, I Am Blessed

Mr. Vegas launched his highly anticipated video, I Am Blessed, Tuesday night at the Indies Bar and Grill in New Kingston to rave reviews from those who had come to the private screening.
The press seemed to enjoy the reverse narrative concept of the video with two men pursuing Mr. Vegas through easily recognizable milieus such as the community of Mona, and Papine Square before they reach a revival church. The I Am Blessed video also segues into another gospel-flavoured single, Up Deh, and ends with a scene where a man, presumably the don, enquires why his henchmen have not succeeded in getting rid of Mr. Vegas. They explain that he ran into a church, but the don says chillingly: ‘church ah the best place fi mek the man rest’. Then he sends the men away in disgust.
Comedienne Elva was at her vivacious best, heaping accolades on Vegas for his longevity and consistency in the business.
“Yu stay true to your game, yu never mek no headline fi box down nobody, mi no hear yu inna no ramping shop and yu nah sell no condom,” she said, to titters of laughter from press representatives gathered at Indies Bar and Grill for the video launch.
She grilled Jaywill mercilessly, teasing him for sweating and asking mischievously: are we going to talk about this video for years and years and years?
Jay Will, who won the HYPE TV Video Director of the Year prize this year, played along with the feel-good vibes of the launch and teased Vegas for his poor acting skills.
“Him caan act,” he said to loud laughter. “Him can sing but him caan act.”
Jay Will also explained the concept behind the video, revealing that he had ‘borrowed’ the reverse narrative concept from a Coldplay video, The Scientist.
Vegas said that he was ‘honoured and privileged to have worked with Jay Will on the project”.
“We have a chemistry when it comes to music videos and it worked out well,” Vegas said. The two have done at least eight music videos together.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable video launch with well-known video remixer Kentech putting together a montage of Vegas’ videos over the years that entertained the media until the video was finally shown at 9 p.m.

Etana, Mystic ready for Red Stripe Live

Multi-award-winning songbird, Etana, is eagerly anticipating performing for her fans this weekend at the first staging of the concert dubbed Red Stripe Live.
"Regardless of how often you travel overseas for shows, it's always a special feeling to perform for your home crowd," Etana says, flashing her signature winning smile. "And I am looking forward to Saturday's show," she says.
So far, Etana has collected all of six awards -- including the highly coveted 'Album of the Year' from the EME Awards -- for the stellar word she did last year, and she is also nominated for other awards internationally.
Still beaming, she says, "All these accolades have made me feel very humble and give me strength to carry on and work even harder than before."
Known for songs such as Warrior Love, Blessings, Wrong Address, which are all on her brilliant debut album, The Strong One, the uber conscious Etana is smoothly and confidently claiming her share of the musical pie, while representing female artistes in a way that has rarely been seen before.
Scheduled for Saturday, March 28 at Sabina Park in Kingston, Red Stripe Live has a stellar line-up of reggae/dancehall artistes and musicians, along with a production team that is second to none. An integral part of the line-up, too, is the dancers who have proven time and again their ability to excite and entertain an audience.
Among the dances will be the winner of the Hype Awards Dancer of the Year title, Mystic. Known for her relaxed yet energetic style of dancing, the very talented Mystic has numerous video and a few television commercial appearances to her credit.
"Dancing is all I've ever wanted to do," she says and as such she makes the stage her home and vows to give fans another memorable performance at Red Stripe Live on Saturday.
The event, which will be staged under the patronage of Prime Minister Bruce Golding, will include a band assembled by Dean Fraser with musicians from C-Sharp and the backing bands of Beres Hammond, Stephen Marley and Jimmy
Cliff. Among the other artistes on the showcase are Ernie Smith, Toots, Assassin and I-Octane.
