Tom Jones Cancels Concert, Cites Dehydration

LONDON, U.K. -- Sex Bomb singer Tom Jones was recovering in a Monaco hospital Sunday, saying severe dehydration forced him to cancel a concert in the glamorous principality. The longtime star, famed for his swivel-hipped appeal and soulful voice, apologized to his fans on his website and emphatically denied British press reports that he had suffered a heart scare that forced him to cancel his Monaco concert Saturday night. There are NO heart problems, as has been reported in the press, the singers website stated. Jones, a 71-year-old Welshman who burst to international fame in 1964 with Its Not Unusual and other hits, blamed his illness on a long successful tour where many of the shows were in locations that were in the throes of high summer heat. The website statement indicated that Jones had no choice but to make a rare cancellation: Sir Tom was ordered by doctors not to perform in Monte Carlo yesterday evening due to severe dehydration, the statement read. This was extremely disappointing for Tom, the band and all connected with the tour. Saturdays canceled show was to have been the finale of his 3-month Praise & Blame tour. A spokesman for the Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco told The Associated Press that Jones was admitted to the hospital Saturday night and was doing well Sunday. There was no word on when Jones would be released. Jones, whose charisma onstage earned some comparisons to U.S rocker Elvis Presley, made his singing debut at three. He appeared in hundreds of clubs and dance halls before his breakthrough series of hits catapulted him to some of the worlds finest venues, with repeated shows at Las Vegas glitzy hotels and casinos. At the peak of his fame, and for decades afterward, adoring women near the front of the audience would shower him with their underwear as a sign of devotion. Jones held onto his sexy image for decades, only recently agreeing to perform and be photographed without touching up the gray in his hair and beard. In his statement, the apologetic crooner thanked fans for their understanding and support. Jones plans a short tour of central and eastern Europe beginning in November.

Rupert Murdoch Says He and News Corp. Board Believe He Should Continue as Chairman and CEO

NEW YORK - A defiant News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch made clear on Wednesday that he will not give up his current roles - at least for now, but sent a strong signal to Wall Street that his president, COO and deputy chairman Chase Carey is a strong partner who would likely lead the conglomerate if anything unexpected happened to him. On an earnings conference call, Murdoch said that the company's "board and I believe that I should continue in my current role as chairman and CEO." But he also told Wall Street observers: "make no mistake, Chase Carey and I run this company as a team." Should anything happen to the now 80-year-old mogul, "I'm sure he would get it immediately if I went under a bus," he added about the board's likely decision in the case of anything unforeseen. He added that the latest quarterly results show that this team produces good results, but he stopped short of clearing up the ever-present succession question by, for example, acknowledging that Carey could in the future take on the CEO role. Observers have predicted that Carey, who was also on the call, will sooner or later take over the CEO post and allow Murdoch to focus on the chairman role. In comments that may please critics of the strong role of Murdoch and his family at the conglomerate less than his shoutout to Carey, Murdoch on Wednesday also expressed support for his son and deputy COO James Murdoch and the News Corp. board, which critics have argued includes too many people who aren't truly independent as they are friends of the Murdochs or used to work at the company. Asked about his son - and, some say, heir apparent - James, whose testimony in front of a parliamentary committee on the phone hacking probe has come under scrutiny, Murdoch said: "Chase and I have full confidence in James." Asked if the son will one day in the near future become CEO, he quipped: "I hope that the job won't be open in the near future." On a more serious note, Murdoch added that "in the end, this decision is a matter for the board." Asked about corporate governance concerns and particularly the role of Viet Dinh who counts as an independent director of News Corp. despite recent reports that he is friends with Murdoch son Lachlan, Murdoch said that Dinh was a "completely independent" director. He added that the board was "strong" and "very open" in its discussions with no plans in place to make changes. But he later acknowledged that News Corp. and its board will continue to evaluate corporate governance issues. Murdoch early on the call also said he was "disappointed" that he had to give up his bid for full control of BSkyB. Asked about his view of the newspaper business, Murdoch signaled no interest in selling his company's newspapers, saying he remains "confident" in them, even though he was "shocked and appalled" at what happened at the News of the World. Many on Wall Street have expressed hope that News Corp. will end up selling its newspaper assets. The CEO also said Wednesday he was "personally determined to put things right" amid the phone hacking scandal. "We are all committed to doing the right thing." Ethics and integrity are important to News Corp., and the phone hacking scandal doesn't reflect the work of the conglomerate's 50,000 employees worldwide, he argued. Business practices like that "have no place" at the company, he emphasized. He later also said that "in retrospect, we should have continued to investigate" the phone hacking allegations. Murdoch also said that the scandal has had "no material impact" on operations outside of the News of the World. News Corp. in its earnings report Wednesday acknowledged that it is subject to "several ongoing investigations by U.K. and U.S. regulators and governmental authorities, including investigations into whether similar conduct may have occurred at the company's subsidiaries outside of the U.K." It reiterated that it is "fully cooperating" with these investigations. "We are acting decisively in the matter and will do whatever is necessary to prevent something like this from ever occurring again," Murdoch said.

Walt Disney Stock Hits 52-Week Low as U.S. Markets Open Lower

NEW YORK - Shares of the Walt Disney Co. fell to a new 52-week low in early Wednesday trading as U.S. stock markets opened sharply lower. After Tuesday afternoon's latest quarterly earnings, Wunderlich Securities analyst Matthew Harrigan cut his rating on the company's stock on Wednesday from "buy" to "hold" and his price target from $42 to $39, citing studio concerns, ESPN and theme park costs and financial guidance that he said was "less than magical." And Nomura analyst Michael Nathanson reduced his Disney stock price target by $3 to $42 and lowered his earnings estimates. "Recently, Disney has not lived up to the earnings-beatings behavior it is known for," he wrote. "Although inexpensive, given both the high quality of its cable assets and low park profitability, the stock is likely to be range-bound unless the macro outlook brightens or earnings begin to beat expectations again." As of 10am ET, Disney shares were down 11.6 percent at $30.68 after earlier hitting a 52-week low of $29.60. Other big entertainment stocks also fell, with CBS Corp. down 3.8 percent and Time Warner 3.9 percent lower to also hit another 52-week low - a day after already doing so. The broad-based S&P 500 index was down 2.8 percent half an hour into the trading day. Disney management, led by CEO Bob Iger, said Tuesday that higher TV programming spending at ESPN and ABC, lower TV licensing at the broadcasting unit and tough studio comparisons will affect profit in the current quarter by 7 cents per share. "The 7 cents earnings albatross guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter, largely off studio comps and ESPN cost hikes (as well as year-over-year ABC syndication), may be more indicative of long-term business stresses than timing," Harrigan said. "Notwithstanding franchises, such as Pirates and Disney Pixar, the studio is showing poor relative ability to monetize its creative output relative to Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox," he continued. "Management commented on the call that retransmission receipts inclusive of license fees from affiliate stations could reach $400 million to $500 million by fiscal 2015. This equates to 35 cents to 40 cents on a monthly basis per U.S. multichannel home, well below the $1 per month all-in bogey suggested by News Corp. COO Chase Carey, albeit with the latter in a better ratings position among 18-49 year-olds in prime-time, and with ABC admittedly lacking marquee sports programming." But Miller Tabak analyst David Joyce said "there's no good reason" for Disney's sharp decline on Wednesday. "The company is seeing positive broadcast and cable network ad revenue, and parks hotel bookings minus 2 percent is actually better than they've forecast in previous earnings calls," he said.

Ten Plagues

A production through the Traverse Theater Company created in colaboration with David Manley of the song cycle in a single act by Mark Ravenhill (libretto) and Conor Mitchell (music). Directed by Stewart Laing. Artist - Marc Almond Video artist - Francis ChristellerBefore generating worldwide fame because the lead singer of British electropop band Soft Cell, Marc Almond was a skill-school student concentrating in performance art. It is a detail which makes feeling of his theatrical collaboration with "Shopping and Fucking" playwright Mark Ravenhill, Northern Irish composer Conor Mitchell and "Titanic" designer Stewart Laing. A lonely song cycle for any solo singer, "Ten Plagues" is all about your journey with the roads based in london throughout the truly amazing Plague of 1665. Using its modern-day resonances and shutting coup p theatre, it's an impassioned testimony towards the socially troublesome energy of the incurable virus. Although Ravenhill doesn't make direct mention of the Helps, his libretto and also the production are subtly implanted with the expertise of the current era's most devastating illness. On a single level, the playwright is speaking concerning the social impact associated with a epidemic. He eliminates being reductive if you take a title that alludes towards the scriptural ten plagues of Egypt and having a narrative that targets 17th-century London. But simultaneously, you cannot hear a line for example "I almost kissed you, however, you stopped me, stated I have found a tumor" without considering the profound personal toll caused through the spread of Aids. As helmer, Laing underscores this concept having a similar level of restraint. He constitutes a feature of Almond's isolation by placing him on the wide stage scattered with 16 music stands, nicely selected out by lighting designer Zerlina Hughes, as though ready to have an orchestra that never arrives. Over the pianist is another playing area, a shallow box which video images are forecasted. Fantastically matched to complement Almond's actions, these bouncing images of male figures are variously homoerotic and ghostly, recommending enthusiasts and corpses, all untouchable reminiscences. Outfitted inside a flowing black coat, Almond plays a guy inhabiting a global governed by anxiety about a mysterious disease. In stores he needs to place his coins in a mug of vinegar because shopkeepers believe herpes might be sent by money, as they selects to put on a hairpiece despite the chance of fleas distributing the condition. This can be a plague that affects not just its immediate sufferers but additionally its children, both draining the roads and altering social associations. On first listen, Mitchell's atonal score lacks variety (as tuners go, that one has couple of tunes) but he supplies a supportive setting for Almond's exclusively emotive style and provides tremendous clearness to Ravenhill's words. Even though sang-through piece places couple of demands about the singer's acting ability, Almond does a great job at physicalizing the figures he encounters without annoying in the music. It is incorporated in the closing moments that "Ten Plagues" finds its emotional pressure, as Ravenhill talks with bitter honesty concerning the inexpressible bonds between plague children and also the subsequent refusal to discuss it when the illness has transpired. Because the theme moves towards the continuance of existence, Laing springs their own surprise like a male choir stacks up within the auditorium as though to shout Almond lower from his isolation.Set and costumes, Laing musical direction, Bob Broad movement, Theo Clinkard lighting, Zerlina Hughes, video, Finn Ross.
