AWESOME : Michael J. Fox Plays 'Back to the Future' Songs Onstage
Actor performed the Penguins' "Earth Angel," Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" after request from Chris Martin's son
Chris Martin saw his "dream come true" Sunday in New Jersey, when actor Michael J. Fox joined Coldplay onstage to cover the Penguins' "Earth Angel" and Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" – two tracks Fox's classic character Marty McFly performed at the "Under the Sea" dance in Back to the Future.
In a video projection, Martin's son Moses asked his dad to play something from "both of our favorite movie, Back to the Future." Coldplay complied, easing into the silky doo-wop classic "Earth Angel," as Martin crooned and strummed an acoustic guitar. Fox walked onstage midway through the track and played a brief, tentative guitar solo – but the actor looked more comfortable with the rock classic "Johnny B. Goode," nailing Berry's bluesy tone.
"That's our dream come true. Thank you, Michael," Martin said after the performance. "What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful man."

Racist Abuse Leveled At Leslie Jones Defies Words : A Dedication To The Actor
Going through the twitter account of Leslie Jones - https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg - (of Ghostbusters fame), one sees the shocking reality of the level racism and bigotry still ingrained in so many people. The shock is multiplied many more times, because such prejudice is alive and kicking in a country that prides itself as a beacon of tolerance and an example for the rest of the world.
We have collated all the nasty racist tweets and put them in a slide show - but at the same time included two of Dr Martin Luther King's memorable speeches. Viewers are asked (including those that posted those degrading comments) to ask themselves, which human being they'd rather be in company with and aspire to ?
In the background audio (2nd part), in the video above, Dr Martin Luther King explains how he had to answer his daughter's persistent questioning of why her father couldn't take her to the "Fun Town" amusement park. What we would like to ask those that tweeted the vile comments towards Leslie Jones, is how they would explain the tweets to their young children ?
One would like to think humanity has developed far enough to become averse to any sort of prejudice towards any group or individual, just because of their color, faith, sexuality, appearance or disability.
It is a crying shame, that even politicians are now overtly expressing bigotry towards sections of the community just to attract those voters that previously were 'closeted' bigots, but now have a license to express their bigotry in the more vilest way possible because of the bigoted vitriol now being displayed on our screen.
We are also puzzled by the lack of reaction from the celebrities who use social media as a platform to maintain their 'fame' among their fans. These same 'stars' are happy to wade into feuds which are at the end of the day, playground arguments. Yet, on such important issues as racism and bigotry - as in the case of Leslie Jones - their silence is deafening.
A personal message to Leslie Jones (and anyone else who has to experience such filth and bigotry) - Dr. Martin Luther King's spirit still lives in you, those that desecrate his memory through their hate speech defile everything that he stood for and what America stands for.

This is why everyone loves Bollywood !
Viewers of Indian TV soaps have seen the best of plots, but even more… the worst of plots !
For example, there was a very popular prime time show where the lead character turned into a fly.
That’s how Bollywood and Indian TV rolls.
Just when fans of the industry had thought that plots couldn’t get worse, another one comes along and shatters that notion.
In this latest serial, a woman was shot dead center (apologies for the pun) in her forehead…. as is usual in normal humans, this would mean instant death….. however, what happens here will have you scratching your head if not give you a good chortle.
Let the pictures do the talking, no need to try and understand what the “actors” (deliberate quotes) are saying.

JK Rowling Has That Magic Touch : Harry Potter's "Cursed Child" Is A Hit
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has won five-star reviews from critics, with one describing it as “a game-changing production”.
The play, written by Jack Thorne, is set 19 years after the seventh and final book in the series by JK Rowling.
It opens officially at the Palace Theatre, in London’s West End, on Saturday.
Audiences have been urged to “keep the secrets” since the play began previews in early June.
Presented in two parts, the play – showing the stars of the wizarding saga as adults in their mid-30s as their own children head off to school – stretches over five hours.
The stage production of Cursed Child picks up where we last left Harry and his scar in Deathly Hallows, replaying the final scene where Harry and Ginny send their son Albus Severus off to Hogwarts for the first time. The play proceeds in the format of a part family soap opera, part choose-your-own-adventure. It is initially fragmented as we catch up on the 19 years that have passed, and the whirring scene changes – often accompanied by unnecessary choreography – are at times hard to navigate, even for Potter devotees.
This video is a tribute to the genius of JK Rowling. As well as pictures related to the play, it also includes some of the rave reviews the play has received across the media world.
