Bruce Springsteen

The Queen of Cool and my dear friend April attended the hottest ticket in town tonight and she wanted to share a few photos of what looks like an amazing night.   Before we go on, let’s all bow down to her.

You may rise.

On May 13, 2010 at Carnegie Hall in New York, some of the biggest singers in the world got together to help save the rainforests!  The A-List included Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Sting, Dame Shirley Bassey and Mary J. Blige.  Color us all jealous.

There’ll be lots more photos coming soon when you visit April’s site.

On behalf of all of us, THANKS!!!

See some more pictures and a partial set list after the jump.

WENN celebrates 21 years of celebrity photography. Photo of a photo by G.

Tonight at New York’s Chelsea Market Place, WENN (the World Entertainment News Network) celebrated 21 years of celebrity photography. Gail and I had a great time mingling with the rich and soon to be famous and the entire event was for a great cause.  WENN has set up the ability for fans to purchase high quality photos of celebs and they are donating all of the proceeds to Haiti relief.  You can find out how to participate here.  The exhibit will run from now until February 28, 2010.

Bloggers G of according2g.com and Gail of worleygig.com on the Red Carpet.

Here’s a tiny sample of what you can expect to see at this exhibit.

Here are some stories that people are yapping about today:

Today is election day.  A record number of voters are planning to choose themselves as write in candidates to show the world – we’ve had enough of your bullshit.  Remember by voting these slimy politicians into office, your ego is saying “I don’t agree with your politics, but I want my opinion to matter.”

Ponzi scheme criminal BERNIE MADOFF is saying he is surprised he wasn’t caught sooner.  Then he remembered that world is full of idiots who believe what they hear on the news and yet are still allowed to make decisions.

A new video of ANNA NICOLE SMITH raises questions.  The first one is, why does anyone care, since she’s dead and none of this speculation matters?

The supposed 2 week movie theater run of MICHAEL JACKSON’S THIS IS IT has been extended until Thanksgiving.  Bernie Madoff was quoted as saying “I can’t believe a movie studio would lie to the public to try and sell tickets and that I didn’t think of that first?!”

ELTON JOHN has canceled a bunch of shows because he’s sick.  He’s really sick of playing “Your Song,” and “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.”

I’m so excited to share the latest collaboration between the multi-talented singer Jim Emmons and yours truly.  The track is called “In Time” and the way it works is not unlike the magic of two of our heroes – Bernie Taupin and Elton John.  I write the lyrics and then Jim writes the music and records the song.  This track is from the upcoming album “Throwing Stars,” and as soon as there is a release date, you’ll here about here first!  If you can’t wait for “Throwing Stars,” you can check out our first album “In The Absence of Red” here. The track might take a second to load, but be patient – it’s worth it!

In time the sea will crash into you and me
In time everyone repressed will be free
In time even the blind will learn to see
In time

In time you will find your place in the world
In time you will learn to love all boys and girls
In time your squiggles will become swirls
In time

In time you will learn to spread your wings
In time you will open your heart and sing
In time you will realize none of this means a thing
In time

Chorus:
Time is like age
It’s just a number
It doesn’t make you a sage
Only you can awaken from your golden slumber

In time we will be friends
In time we can separate the beginning from the end
In time we’ll learn real vs. Pretend
In time

In time you’ll see that less is sometimes more
In time you’ll know to stay inside or get out and explore
In time you’ll see it’s you that I adore
In time

Chorus:
Time is like age
It’s just a number
It doesn’t make you a sage
Only you can awaken from your golden slumber

In time you’ll regret the promises you break
In time you’ll appreciate the choices you make
In time you’ll learn to give more than you take
In time

In time you’ll be able to start life new
In time you’ll figure out what you need to do
In time you’ll see that change begins with you
In time
