How will Tivoli terror affect JA's entertainment scene?

That is the question entertainment and cultural promoters and performers must be asking themselves after a quiet week in Kingston, Jamaica entertainment-wise.

The 'terror in Tivoli' has inflicted wounds not just on the hundreds injured and scores killed, but on Jamaica's economy and Kingston's vibrant entertainment scene.

The Jamaica Observer reports that a host of entertainment events, from regularly scheduled parties like Uptown Mondays, Weddy Wednesdays and Dudus' own Passa Passa, have been cancelled.

Larger one-off or seasonal events like the scheduled WI v South Africa test cricket, the final staging of May Daze and the Jamaica Observer's Food Awards, have also been moved, cancelled and postponed.

Islandista-wise, Saint International's StyleWeek is a major casualty. StyleWeek was originally set for this weekend but the organisers called it off, issuing a statement:

"After much consultations and observation of the prevailing political climate, we think it's prudent to change the date for this year's staging of Styleweek Jamaica."

Styleweek is now slated for July 9-11.

Meanwhile, Caribbean Fashion Week has also taken the same approach- pushing back their event by just a week from its original June 8-14 date to June 15-21.

Reggae Sumfest, possibly Jamaica's most high profile event full stop, has also had to issue a statement on how they will approach the July 18-24 reggae festival. Johnny Gourzong, one of the executive producers, said:

"Reggae Sumfest is important to Jamaica’s tourism and impacts positively on the economy and despite reduced sponsorship, we decided it was important to beat the odds and host the Festival this year".

 One 'benefit' is that Sumfest is slated, as always for St.James, on the northern coast of Jamaica, hours away from the epicentre of the violence in Kingston. A drawback, as anyone who knows JA knows, is that St. James/MoBay is not exactly sweetness and light and there were rumblings that St. James would have been a focal point for the unrest that Dudus supporters allegedly threatened to spread throughout the land.

It will be interesting to see how these two high-profile events will be able to deal with the fall-out from the Tivoli violence.

The fact that they have chosen just to push them back indicates that there is too much at stake to cancel them altogether but with people so leery of Jamaica in general and Kingston in particular, we can only hope for the best for them ... and for Jamaica's entertainment scene on the whole.

One thing, Jamaicans are nothing if not resilient. We are hopeful.

Islandista legal woes: Naomi and Keisha

Oh Naomi, not again?

We're not saying you did it... after all your (beleaguered no doubt) lawyer has urged us all not to rush to judgement about the report that you assaulted a limo driver and then hightailed it out of the van like Usain Bolt in heels when he pulled out his phone ... to call the police (what, you thought it was for some ironic revenge?)

We're not saying you did it ... but it look a way, star.

According to the NY Daily News:

The driver claimed Campbell was brooding about an incident involving her boyfriend, married Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin, sources said.

Mejdina had been hired a year ago to chauffeur Doronin, 49, around the city. Campbell apparently called Doronin at the time, but he did not answer his cell phone. She then rang Mejdina, who also didn't answer.

Still peeved about the year-old incident, Campbell accused Mejdina yesterday of covering for Doronin and then slapped him, sources said.

The driver pulled over at 58thSt. and Second Ave., where he flagged down a traffic agent to report the assault. Campbell jumped out and ran away.

And... now the NY police are looking for you, even though apparently the driver is pressing charges.

We're not saying you did it but... this is becoming a little repetitive. ent?

In other islandista legal news, former and founding Sugababe Keisha Buchanan is reportedly ready to sue the band known as the Sugababes, from which she was unceremoniously ousted last year.

Apparently, Keisha is asking them to either stop performing under the Sugababes name or to pay her a large one-off sum for rights to the name. A source told the UK's Sunday Mirror.

This is a landmark case and will send shockwaves through the industry," a source said. "The Sugababes are one of the most successful girlbands of all time, but if they are forced to change their name it would be absolutely disastrous for them.

"It would be very hard for them to maintain any credibility if they had no original band members and were called something else.

"Keisha was an integral member from the very beginning so it is easy to understand why she is acting like this. She even came up with the band's name with fellow founder member Mutya Buena and deserves something for making the Sugababes what they are today."

To quote Merital - My money, my money ha ha...

Islandista music notes - new Livvi Franc vid & Shontelle's princely pay-day

We've got news for you on two of the Barbadian islandista singers who have followed in Rihanna's wake over the last two years - Livvi Franc and Shontelle.

First let's start with Livvi Franc who brought out the video for her new single Automatik, just last week. Check it out below and then our take on it...



For some reason, we were shocked to realise that this is just Livvi's second single of her still upcoming debut album. It just feels like she has been around for a while - she was signed to Jive Records as far back as October 2007, after all.

But it may well be a good thing that Jive is taking their time to cultivate her sound and it shows in the song which is really nice and catchy. The chorus in particular is sticking in our heads and it has a dance-pop beat to it that should do especially well in Europe and maybe even farther afield. The video is nothing to shout about conceptually - it's clubbish - beautiful people dancing in a club. More could probably have been done with it especially since the theme Automatik allows one to play around with all kinds of fun and futuristic concepts like machines and robots. Oh well ...

Now in some serious money-making news, Shontelle is in for a very big pay day as young Prince Azim of Brunei is flying her in to perform at a private party for him this weekend self for US$ 200, 000!

Get. In. DEY Shon! Get yuh money girl!

Even Shontelle herself seemed a little bit bemused by it all, telling Women's Wear Daily at a NYFW show on Monday:


"They’re paying us $200,000 just to be there. It’s a pretty major situation. I think it’s all oil money."

To Bey or not to Bey?

Ok, ok, that isn't really the question because there is no way in hell that TSTT, Brian Lara and Dwight Yorke are going to give up the big money bound to come in from the Beyonce concert scheduled for two days after Trini Carnival.

Especially not with the US$200 VVIP tickets sold out on the first day.

But with all the bacchanal swirling around the concert in Trinidad, what with concert promoters bawling out that it is going to hurt their business and people querying how the state-owned TSTT could be funding the concert over Carnival, we want to know what islandistas think.

On the one hand, we can definitely see the perspective of the promoters, because the Beyonce concert is going to suck out money that would have been going their way. Lawd knows Carnival is expensive as it is so people are going to have to pick between a fete (or two) and the Beyonce show.

On the other hand, we can also see this being a plus for Trinidad Carnival on the whole by bumping up the number of islandistas (and islandistos) that may decide to fly in for the festivities, since they can take in the concert same time.

And with Machel and Destra being out of Carnival this year and Alternative Concept squashed, this might be the crowd-puller that Carnival needs in these recessionary times...

What says you, islandistas?

Caribbean commess around the Jacksons

As if there was not enough drama surrounding the death of Michael Jackson, a whole lot of Caribbean-style commess has been added to the mix.

We all know by now that Jackson's last doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray is a Grenadian-Trini and that he has been repeatedly questioned by investigators on Jackson's last moments, what drugs he would have prescribed for Jackson and even had his car impounded.






But on top of that, Dr. Murray is apparently a Caribbean-style village ram, fathering six children with five different women. And these women were not playing with his tail. He apparently had a trail of debt and liens on his salary, due to numerous child support claims.




According to Huffington Post:


Court records show Murray was hit last December with a nearly $3,700 judgment for failure to pay child support in San Diego, and had his wages garnished the same month for almost $1,500 by a credit card company. Another credit card claim for more than $1,100 filed in April remains open.


Damn. Between those and other debts, his practice had been hit with over US$400 000 in court claims. Even the BMW he drove was in his sister's name... no doubt so that the various child mothers could not make a claim on that, either.

Some Caribbean men just won't learn, nuh? Imagine he is a big, big cardiologist and he finds himself in debt because of that ridiculous village ram behaviour?

In other Jackson-related Caribbean commess, there is a back and forth of words between Jermaine Jackson and Sumfest promoter Robert Russell who is supposed to be bringing the Jackson Five (or Jackson Two or Three) for the International Night of the festival.

Jermaine Jackson told TMZ.com that neither he nor his brothers were going to Jamaica but Russell is reported in yesterday's Jamaica Observer as basically saying Jermaine was never in de ling.

From the Jamaica Observer:


""Who said Jermaine Jackson was coming to Jamaica? He is not coming," Russell said yesterday. "I certainly had no discussion with him, but Tito and Jackie are already confirmed and we are awaiting confirmation from Randy and Marlon," Russell told the Observer yesterday.

Pelau post - Fay-Ann's post-baby body, D'Angel's bad luck & Lorna getsher own

We are just bursting with news of all things islandista these days! Between all the various summer carnivals, stage shows, parties and two big fashion weeks back to back, we are so busy it's hard to know where to start.

So, to make a dent in all the suss, we're going to hit you with another pelau post - or a pepperpot post if you will - it real mix up but it spicy and good!

First let's start with news of one of our favourite islandista mamis, Fay-Ann Lyons, who has been taking full advantage of her biggest year in soca to date.

As we reported back in May, her first post-pregnancy performance was in Toronto at Dr. Jay's I Love Soca.

We have seen the pics from the event and can we say... Fay-Ann's post baby body is just... unnecessary! How is it that a woman who just had a baby two months ago (and was round like an English pound as the fellas would say) could already be slimmer than chicks who are not pregnant at all?







[caption id="attachment_1087" align="aligncenter" width="230" caption="This... is not fair."][/caption]

I swear, I going protest to somebody. Obviously, she is not back to six-pack Fay-Ann but damn it man, all she have the nerve to show is a lil pudge?

We have some news of another well-known islandista mummy who is having a string of bad luck recently - Jamaican dancehall act D'Angel.

Her clothing boutique in Kingston was held up and robbed on Monday. Gunmen tied up her employee and made off with J$400 000 (about US$4500) in clothes, accessories etc.

That alone would be bad but it follows close on the heels of her accident less than two weeks ago that wrote off her X5 when she was on her way to a party at footballer Bibi Gardiner's place in St. Thomas. D' Angel said then:

 I was on my way to Bibi's dance in St. Thomas, we couldn't have been more than one minute away when all of a sudden a car ran into us....my side of the vehicle mash up...the airbag dem deploy same time...it was like a movie, I was a spectator to it all."

Worse, the fellas that crashed into her car soon got into another vehicle and took off. Damn... a so dem billias?

In other slightly better news (but not if you're Buju!), his common law wife of 18 years and mother of his 5 children, Lorna Strachan is smiling all the way to the bank after Buju decided to do the smart thing and settle out of court with her.

Apparently Buju wanted to play hardball with her at first even though she was making him a pretty reasonable offer to just have a few of the properties they own jointly, given to her.

So Lorna (yes, her of Buju's 90s hit Love mi Brownin) took the matter to the Supreme Court and Buju soon wised up, realising that their long marriage, even though common-law, still entitled her to half of what he owned. A source close to the couple reported:

"She had his back against the wall. After so many years of them being together, she would be entitled to half of everything he owns. So it made sense for him to give her what she was asking for."

And half of what Buju owns is a pretty penny. The properties included in the claim included an apartment at Priory Court, Devon Road, St Andrew, the property at Ballater Avenue, Kingston 10, which houses the Donovan Germain-led Penthouse empire; houses at Jacaranda Close, Braeton, St Catherine; Carlisle Avenue, Kingston 8; and the family house in Belgrade Heights, Kingston 19.

In the end Lorna came away with the Belgrade Heights house she currently lives in and 25% of the Ballater Avenue property.

I can't stop laughing at this one. Dah fuh he! Too often West Indian men want to feel that they can do women as they like - horn them non-stop, refuse to marry them and then when de women tired of them, they want to get spiteful, even when their own pickney involved.

More women need to stand up for their financial rights and move more seriously. In the end, all she asked for was the house she and his children are living in and 25% of another property - that is barely anything in the scheme of things - you think it is a little bit of money Buju made off of Til Shiloh?

Fashion notes: Ri-Ri sells a milli X 12, Zoe S in Cannes & Fashion Weeks

Island Def Jam held a big party on Wednesday night for their favourite islandista, Rihanna, for going twelve times platinum.

 

[caption id="attachment_987" align="aligncenter" width="420" caption="Photo credit: Wargo/Kempin"][/caption]



Congrats. All the talk, at the end of the day, her success has paved the way for other young Bajan artistes like Shontelle and Hal Linton to get major label contracts.




Of course as ever with Ri-Ri, the fashion was the real star. She wore a single-button cropped kacket with some crazy-cool geometric and paisley prints and pair of leggings that we have seen described as "perforated" but to our minds (and eyes) are see-through... disturbingly see through. Check out the slightly NSFW fuller pic of the outfit below and let us know if you agree.



[caption id="attachment_988" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Photo credit: Wargo/Kempin"][/caption]

Seriously, is that her curry la-la that we're seeing? Errrmmm!

In other islandista fashion news Zoe Saldana is the only damn islandista we've been able to pin down on the red carpets of the Cannes Film Festival thus far - and trust, we've been looking! She made an appearance at amFAR's Cinema Against Aids event in a nude-coloured (is that an oxymoron?) toga style dress and pulled back hairdo that we're not too sure about.

[caption id="attachment_989" align="aligncenter" width="381" caption="Photo credit: Getty Images"][/caption]

I dunno... I just don't like the hump in the middle of her head... or maybe it needed to be more dramatic. If you're going to put a hump in the middle of your head, commit to it. Cute shoes as ever though...

In even more fashion news, two of the region's bigger fashion weeks are coming up in short order - Trinidad & Tobago's Fashion Week is starting next weekend - running from Friday May 29th to Tuesday June 2nd.

[caption id="attachment_990" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Photo credit: Fuse the Agency"][/caption]

The big one a yaad and abroad, Caribbean Fashion Week, is coming up in Jamaica from June 10-15.

Now, Jamaiaca and Trinidad probably have two of the strongest fashion 'industries' (as they were) in the region, with designers like Claudia Pegus actually able to make a full-time living from what they do.

And certainly these two fashion weeks bring a fair amount of attention to Caribbean designers and give them an opportunity and platform to showcase their work. Last year, CFW was even featured in the New York Times' style mag, The Moment. Big t'ings a gwan right?

Are they? Some unfortunate news I heard this week about the fate of the Barbados delegation for CFW has me wondering how useful these fashion weeks are actually proving to regional designers. After being funded for the last five years by a government investment agency, a designer friend of mine out of Barbados has let me know that the funds tap has been turned off this year. Since most (all?) of them do designing for love more than money, dey get juck, basically.

But I can kind of see the agency's perspective on it - after all, what tangible benefits has funding the designers brought in the last five years? Tangible benefits like foreign exchange or even promotional benefits for the country?

And besides exposure, what do the fashion weeks really do for designers? It is pretty clear to see what it does for the models, as several girls who have walked at CFW have gone on to pretty successful international modelling careers.

But for the designers, what do they get besides exposure? Not saying that exposure isn't valuable but it has to turn into something to be valuable, don't?

Are there any buyers invited to these Fashion Weeks? Because at the end of the day, every real fashionista knows it is the buyers who have the real power- fuck an Anna Wintour. The Devil may wear Prada but she is not the one who actually chooses it for actual people to buy from an actual store.

And if there are buyers, how many sales are made? I'm just asking because generally the glowing reports I read after these events have mostly to do with how much exposure was gained and which publications Designer X's clothes were featured in. I don't tend to hear a lot about orders being made.

I'm not trying to be snide or a hater, I'm genuinely wondering. I'm not an expert on the nitty gritty of the fashion industry in the region so I'd welcome some feedback on this. How much do designers get out of it in a practical, dollars and cents sense?

UPDATE:  Turns out I'm not the only islandista (?) asking these questions. There is a great post over at Caribbean Fashion Style Journal asking some of the same questions and giving some more informed perspective on it.

ATI and RTI back together again

Reunited and it feeeeels so goooood!

Big party news today islandistas - Jamaica's two biggest all-inclusive holiday weekend events are back together again!

That's right - ATI and RTI (which was also ATI at one point - confusing we know) have recombined to create a new Independence weekend party - Negril Dream Weekend.

News of this coming from datmad which reports NDW organiser Kamal Bankay as saying to the Weekend Star:







 

What's really happening is that the strongest events in Negril have come together to make one band where the strongest will survive. So, the so-called RTI band and ATI band that we're used to for the last two years is now one band.



Now as Jamaican islandistas would know for sure and genuine islandistas who party all over the Caribbean may know too, originally there was just one Independence weekend party which started back in 2001. Originally it was called ATI which stood for Appleton/Absolute Temptation Island (I think).

Then there was a falling out between Absolute Entertainment who conceptualised the event and Appleton in 2006.

Appleton continued with their own event, calling it Appleton Treasure Isle and Absolute Entertainment adjusted the name to Absolute Temptation Island.

In 2007, Red Stripe jumped into the ling and sponsored Absolute Entertainment's events, renaming it RTI - Red Temptation Island.

And now after two years of splitting the crowd (and making the really determined partiers pay out of their ass to attend both), RTI and ATI are back together again, thanks to the 'Dream Team'. No title sponsor as yet but Red Stripe and Wray and Nephew are expected to battle it out.

The Dream Team consists of the promoters behind the six events that will make up NDW , which runs from August 6 to August 9 - Daydreams, Twisted Spirits, Xtreme Wet and Wild, Yush, Wildsides and The Concert.

Bankay gushed to the Weekend Star:

 Persons will have it a lot easier this weekend, without having to decide which band to choose and which parties to go to. ... You'll be dazzled and astounded and know that it was money well spent and if you save your money and choose this party for the year, it will be where you will have the most fun


Yeah, yeah, yeah - whatever.


These promoters ent had no problems splitting the crowds and/or forcing people to pay for two events when the economy was good. But now tings a look sticky, they back together.

The recession is REAL peoples.

T-Pain being sued by Guyanese promoter and Ri-ri goes house shopping

Down in GT, they are NOT happy with hip-pop Auto-tune king T-Pain after he skipped out on a concert there last month.

The reason given at the time was that T-Pain had received reports that he was allegedly the target of kidnapping and death threats in Guyana because the promoter hadn't take care of his street people in the right way.

Well, the promoters Hits and James Entertainment ent having it and they are suing him now in a Miami court - for US$5 million.

 Hits and Jams' attorney Ron Lowy charged that T-Pain made outrageous demands, including a private jet (outrageous when you consider he has been all up in the media talking bout he has his own $3M private jet - second hand mind you), FBI protection (brr?) and a phone call from President Bharrat Jagdeo (eh?).

Anyhow, the H&J folk do acknowledge that T-Pain offered to return the money but they say that can't make up for the damage caused or "remedy the disappointment to the Guyanese fans."

Hmm. Will  be interesting to see how this case pans out. Seems like sussness all around.

In other news, Rihanna is continuing her publicly documented quest to show that Chris Brown ent no where round she. She went house-hunting in L.A. with BFF Melissa, looking very hot in a fringed gray necklace and silver Louboutins. Less thrilled about the wet and curly hair and a bit dismayed that she had it pulled back from her forehead.

Take my money, damn it!

Update #1: July 4, 2008 - More than two weeks later... I STILL ain't got the card. Hmph!

I am a rather pissed off islandista right about now. For the past SEVEN WEEKS now I have been trying to apply for a credit card.

Yes, seven weeks. Am I credit risk you may ask? Do I have a crippling addiction or bad credit or a poor job record or a low salary or a conviction for identity theft?

Nay - far from it. I have a great credit rating, I have a good job, making good money and since I finished my first degree 5 years ago I have been out of work a grand total of 2 months. The first was after I finished my first degree - within a month after finishing uni, I had 3 job offers. The second was after finishing my graduate degree - I already had a job offer which I came home for (and had left another job for), I had a part-time job and I was just waiting for the HR at my new job to sort out the details of my contract and send them so I could get going.

Yet... YET! I realise I have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get credit because banks and lending agencies in this region seem to be so damn conservative.

Take my credit card experience. I have finally... finally decided to get into the 21st century (20th really) and get a credit card because it has become aggravating (and a bit embarassing) having to beg my mum to use her credit card every time I want to buy something online. Which is often in this day and age - everything is bought online now - books, clothing, my computer, airline tickets, carnival costumes. If I could do it all with my debit card, I so would because I am not hype about the idea of credit cards, truth be told. I don't like the idea of spending money I technically do not have. Anyhoo ... I am a pretty good manager of my money (some might even say thrifty) so I figured that I should put my fears to rest and get a card.

Because I had only been in my present job for 10 months when I applied for the card instead of the magic number of 12 months I had to get a guarantor, in the form of my mother. How mortifying! Especially since I had been continually employed for the last 18 months before I applied - and I had not been fired, I quit one job to take up a better paying job. This, I thought was a wise move - the kind of thing that makes lenders salivate at the prospect of putting you in their debt.

Moreover I had been employed by the same place for 2 straight years before that with the year break being for study. So in all I had been gainfully and continually employed for three and a half years before I applied for the card.

Yet ... hoops. Because I had not reached the magic number.

So I found out about the need for a guarantor about 2 weeks after I had applied - when I thought my application was merrily winging its way to the card centre.

So I skipped through that hoop, dragged my poor mother to the bank, made her late for work and got the guarantor sign formed with all the pomp and circumstance as if it were a $50 000 student loan I was getting rather than a credit card with the minimum possible balance. stupppppsssssssssse...

Another two weeks elapsed. I called to check on the progress of the card  only to find out it had "only just been approved" (brr?) and 'sent back down' to the initial officer I dealt with and sent to the far away card centre "just yesterday" (wha?!). This time, a month and some has gone. The clothes I had squirrelled away in virtual baskets from Forever 21 and Old Navy and ASOS are probably not even in style anymore!

Yet I wait. And today I get a call. The card centre has my application (ah good!) but they need more stuff (wtf?). An ID card and stamp duty.

I mean ... yuh couldn't tell me that beforehand? I got to go in town again? Y'all feel this is really how I want to spend my lunch hour?

But this is not the first time I have had to jump through hoops. I am in the process of getting a car right now and when I went to get my financial clearance, the nice accountant man cautioned me that since I had not been shackled to one employer for at least 3 years I might need to pay a higher deposit ... like twice as much (all kinda claat).

For a CAR you know. Tangible collateral that you could take back if tings get funny. THREE YEARS you know. What person in their mid-20s has worked at the same place for 3 years straight? Moreover, in this globalised day and age, with so much competition for talent and a global talent shortage (and we in the Caribbean have an even more serious talent shortage than the rich northern countries bitching about it - cos they are the ones scooping up our people) who really stays loyal to one employer for a long time? All that does is make them complacent.

One good thing though - the Caribbean could never have a credit crisis like in the US. Bankers and lenders frighten to put people in debt - they does have to think long, long and hard, hard about it. Silly me, I thought was the whole meaning of their existence.

It's ridiculous. They should be begging to get me in debt. I'm young, well educated, childless for now, making good money - I ent got a ting to spend my money on. You would feel they would be delighted that I approach them for something that will make them money.

But no, we have to have a dozen hoops for people to hop through first.
