DICK VAN DYKE ANNOUNCED TO PRESENT LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AT 2012 SAG AWARDS

It has been confirmed that legendary actor, Dick Van Dyke, will present the Screen Actors Guild’s 48th Life Achievement Award to Mary Tyler Moore, reflecting achievements in her career and her humanitarian work, at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Past recipients of SAG’s Life Achievement Award include Ernest Borgnine, Betty White, James Earl Jones, Charles Durning, Julie Andrews, Shirley Temple Black, James Garner, Karl Malden, Clint Eastwood, Edward Asner, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, Sidney Poitier, Kirk Douglas, Elizabeth Taylor, Angela Lansbury, Robert Redford and George Burns.

For those who are not familiar with Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke, they became known in Hollywood when they were cast as suburban couple Rob and Laura Petrie in Van Dyke’s eponymous sitcom based on the experiences of comedy writer Carl Reiner. The series broke new ground in television and is said to have ushered in the golden age of the situation comedy. Adored by audiences and critics alike, the series earned four Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy® Awards during the show’s five-year run, three Emmys for Van Dyke and two Emmys and a nomination for Moore.

In 1969, Van Dyke and Moore reunited for a one-hour variety special called Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman. They joined forces again in a 1979 episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Hour reprising their roles as the Petries in a tongue-in-cheek comedic sketch. Other notable collaborations by the famously funny TV spouses include a PBS version of D. L. Coburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning nursing home-set stage play "The Gin Game," as well as a reunion with former cast mates in TV Land’s nostalgic “The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited.”

After the series ended, Van Dyke went on to star in such classic feature films as “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Comic” and “Dick Tracy.” Over the years, he continued his work on network television starring in “The New Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Van Dyke and Company” (for which he received his fourth Emmy) and a critically-acclaimed, Emmy-nominated dramatic performance in the made-for-television movie “The Morning After.” In his fifth decade in television, Van Dyke starred in the 1990s prime time series “Diagnosis Murder” for CBS. He returned to his Broadway roots in productions of “Bye Bye Birdie” and “A Dancers Life,” and most recently penned a New York Times best-selling memoir “My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business.”

The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, will be simulcast live coast-to-coast on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012, at 8 p.m. (ET) / 5 p.m. (PT) from the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles.

MANN's Buzzin With Phosphor Watches

The MAGIC Show in Las Vegas, was once again upon us. It was, quite possibly, the biggest one we have ever attended - with two convention centers full of exhibitors promoting their fashion lines, and services to the fashion industry.

We discovered Phosphor Watches - who, in their own words, have developed a new technology, "The Phosphor Appear™ watch utilizes miniature sized rotors adorned with Swarovski™ crystals that mechanically rotate to "reveal" numerical or chronological information." This innovative idea stemmed from the concept of changing magnetic information boards or clocks at train stations, and airports (once upon a time). There is so much opportunity for growth from this technology, as "The rotatable rotors can be oriented in a variety of different layouts, while any material can be affixed onto the rotatable rotors ranging from Swarovski™ crystals, to precious metals or gems, to almost anything imaginable". Phosphor also have some digital designs using a technique with Electronic Ink (or E Ink), which can put a digital display on virtually any surface - so watch this space...(pardon the pun)!

Hip Hop artist MANN, is Phosphor watches latest supporter, with his new "Buzzin" watch, and took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to us:

It's always refreshing to discover something different from the norm, and Phosphor Watches are certainly different. With their unique technology, we believe these designs are a credible insight to the future of stylish time pieces.

Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood had a Smashing Opening

The most recent addition to the Hard Rock chain, Officially opened last night, with a host of Celebrities, smashing guitars outside, by the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The celebrity line up included R&B crooner - Robin Thicke, funny guy - George Lopez, This Is It's rock chick/guitarist - Orianthi, and Los Angeles' Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Other celebrities, who took part, included - Playboy's Bridget Marquardt ("Girls Next Door"), Angie Everhart (Actress/Model), Ashley Roberts (from the Pussycat Dolls), Aubrey O'Day (Playboy model and former member of Danity Kane), Jay Phillips (Actor/Def Comedy Jam Comedian "Semi Pro, Prom Night, Baby Mama etc.), Jeremy London (Actor/Producer "Mall Rats", "Party of Five" etc.), and Jonathan Lipnicki (Actor "Jerry Maguire, Stuart Little etc.), to name a few.

(from L-R)Jay Phillips, Bridget Marquardt, George & Robin, George Lopez, & Orianthi

It's not every day you see models in their high heels smashing guitars to pieces, so it was certainly a treat for spectators. I found it to be quite entertaining. George Lopez's guitar seemed to put up a fight, as it took several attempts to destroy it. Proud of his smashing skills, Jay Phillips told me he was going to keep a piece of his guitar as a souvenir! Robin Thicke and Orianthi appeared to be true guitar destroying professionals... The Mayor seemed to take to it like a duck to water too.

Just for the record... The guitars that were smashed, had been donated by the manufacturers, who had deemed them to be defective.

After the Rock 'n' Roll "moment", the VIP's and celebrities, plus yours truly (of course!), were ushered back inside the Hard Rock Cafe (located in between the world famous Kodak Theatre and the Grauman's Chinese Theatre), for the ultimate party. There were lines of waiters and waitresses, with trays full of alcohol and appetizers, that seemed to be ongoing throughout the night. Bloody Mary's with shrimp in them, pizza, southern style chicken sliders, regular sliders, pork-filled potstickers, oysters, crab cakes, and sesame seed chicken skewers, were all included in the offerings, plus a table with a mountain of fruits and cheeses, and another "naughty" table full of chocolate treats, profiteroles, cheesecake, and green "red velvet" cupcakes. There was even a "cool" Hard Rock ice sculpture that was lit up in red.

John Lennon Memorabilia, Ice Sculpture, and Mountains of food

While guests were mingling and celebrity spotting, George Lopez hosted the evening on stage, and introduced the performers - Orianthi (who played some of her own material - a nice acoustic guitar set), and Multiple Grammy Winner - Robin Thicke - who was the main performer for the evening, and had the crowd (especially the ladies) going wild. DJ Muggs from Cyprus Hill was the DJ for the evening, keeping the crowd hyped up, in between sets.

George Lopez on Stage, and Orianthi Performing on Stage

Even the kitchen staff seemed to be feeling it, as they were dancing in the kitchen, looking like they were having their own party! (Though I think they were oblivious to us noticing... (what a shame I happened to have filmed some of it hehe!) It certainly added to the entertainment.

Overall it was a great event, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. And most importantly - all proceeds from the cash bars were being donated to the Women's Center Downtown Los Angeles who provide permanent supportive housing, more than 50,000 nutritious meals, medical and mental health services, job training and literacy programs to hundreds of women in need each year. If you would like further information, you can visit http://www.dwcweb.org/donate.htm

Thank you Hard Rock, for the invitation... it was a pleasure to be there. I believe it's now safe to say, you have declared the Hard Rock Cafe HOLLYWOOD to be OFFICIALLY OPEN...!

Along with his stellar performance on the night, Professor Green proved his worth this year picking up Best UK Hip Hop / Grime, while Best UK R&B / Soul Act went to Plan B.

This year MOBO also paid tribute awarding the Lifetime Achievement Award to Billy Ocean for over 30 years in the business.

For only the second time in MOBO history, the show ventured outside of its native London, to expand the MOBO family to another city with a great musical heritage, to the banks of the Mersey, home of The Beatles, Liverpool.
