Keb’ Mo’ deals with the enduring power of a memory in the sizzling new song “I Remember You.” The track is the latest release from the modern bluesman’s upcoming album Oklahoma, due out June 14th.
Over a muscular groove, Keb’ Mo’ tells a story of one guy and his unforgettable encounter with a beguiling woman. “My name is Junior, from Memphis, Tennessee/My daddy was a hustler, and a stranger to me.” Tough as this character sounds, he’s no match for the lady in a red dress, who...

In today’s film news roundup, Alan Tudyk is supplying to voice of Iago in “Aladdin,” Atonement Pictures launches and Michael Keaton is narrating “Wings 3D.”
Voice Cast
Alan Tudyk has signed on to voice Iago, the scarlet macaw parrot sidekick to the villain Jafar in Disney’s live-action “Aladdin,” which opens May 24.
Tudyk has voiced characters in six different Disney animated movies, starting with “Wreck-It Ralph” in 2012, followed by “Frozen” as the Duke of Weselton, “Big Hero 6,” “Zootopia” as Duke Weaselton and “Ralph Breaks the Internet” as Knowsmore. He also appeared in Disney’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” in which he played the droid K-2So.
Gilbert Gottfried voiced Iago — named after the villain of William Shakespeare’s “Othello” — as a wisecracking and easily frustrated character, saying at one point, “Look at this! I’m so ticked off that I’m molting!”

Now that Joy is leaving ‘The View’ a new report says the search is on for a Latina woman, who is a passionate Republican, to take her spot. Who do you think it should be?
Joy Behar has given up her seat at The View‘s daily morning show on ABC, and it turns out Barbara Walters is assisting producers in their quest for a new co-host!
Who Will Take Joy’s Spot On ‘The View’
The report claims that ABC wants to shake up the show and they’re looking for a “feisty woman” who has similar views to Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
One woman in mind is Rachel Campos-Duffy, a 41-year-old mother-of-six, who is a strict Catholic. She actually tried out for Lisa Ling’s spot in 1999.
Another woman reportedly in the running is Jaci Velasquez, 33, who has two kids and her own radio show. But perhaps celebs Gloria Estefan,...

Bring on the dancing dogs! America’s Got X Factor finished its Season 2 auditions Thursday night, and I, for one, can’t wait to see how the Pekingese and the Poodle fare when they get to Boot Camp.
Okay, okay, I’m being a cranky beast from Hades, but Thursday night’s X Factor installment felt more like NBC’s summer variety special than a search for a legitimate musical superstar. There was the 13-year-old kid who passed out backstage from “dehydration” — a dark part of my brain imagined him whispering “Mom, did you slip my that Rohypnol like I asked you to?...

Wednesday night’s X Factor ended with the image of a 13-year-old boy collapsed in a heap in his mother’s lap, a flurry of producers and medics trying to figure out if he’d live or if he’d eventually die of embarrassment at the hands of Simon Cowell.
I’m not sure if the incident was a clever indictment of the lengths today’s youth will go to for a chance at fame, or just a happy (medical) accident that the show’s producers cynically used to fill out yet another two-hour audition episode. Maybe it was both.

As just about any reality-show contestant will tell you, God maintains an encyclopedic knowledge of/a keen rooting interest in the outcome of everything from Big Brother to RuPaul’s Drag Race to The X Factor.
Thursday night’s installment of the last-named of those shows put an exclamation point on this fact, as lightning, heavy winds, and torrential downpours contributed to a power outage that put the kibosh on a brutal batch of auditions from Greensboro, Nc. (All together now: “Thaaaaank God!”)

I’m going to come right out and say it: This Wednesday’s X Factor was the show’s best episode ever — and partially because its stars included a pretty boy who spent what felt like 45 minutes debating whether or not to pop his collar, a trio of smokin’-hot sisters, a man who found a controversial (possibly deadly?) solution to male pattern baldness and a heavy-set black woman named Panda who got carried out on a stretcher. (Spoiler alert: All of ‘em advanced to Boot Camp!)
I know, I know, you’re reading this and saying “The X Factor is barely out of diapers.

The Movie Pool gets an end-of-the-world vibe from the Jerusalem Countdown Blu-ray!
The Set-up
An FBI agent (David A.R. White) is on the hunt for seven suitcase nuclear weapons, and learns that the plot may be part of an apocalyptic series of events prophesied in the Bible. Also stars Lee Majors, Stacy Keach and Randy Travis. Based on the novel by John Hagee.
Directed by Harold Cronk.
The Delivery
Jerusalem Countdown is a solid action drama that mixes political intrigue with end-time Biblical prophecy. Mixing the Bible with contemporary human drama can be a hit-or-miss proposition, but when done correctly, it can give a film a deeper, more profound foundation to build upon. Even The DaVinci Code (with its twisted take on Christianity) benefited from using religious undertones to create an epic scope, and films like Megiddo used Christianity to craft an effective Armageddon thriller.
Despite its slower pace, Jerusalem Countdown...
