Because People Love to Watch Magazine Editors, Cosmo Gets Another TV Show
Though Cosmopolitan's already signed up for the scripted show Issues, a new report suggests they'll be diving into reality as well.
Though Cosmopolitan's already signed up for the scripted show Issues, a new report suggests they'll be diving into reality as well.
The pilot for the TV show based on the life of a Cosmopolitan editor now has a name and a home: Issues has been picked up by Freeform, formerly known as ABC Family. Deadline reports that it will cover "the lives and loves of the editors behind the Cosmopolitan magazine," and that editor Joanna Coles is EPing it.
In her 81 years on Earth, including a long former career as a journalist, Gloria Steinem has only written six books, three of which are essay compilations. None are specifically about her life, despite its figurative importance to so many people; she's never quite explained how she's accomplished all that she has, how…
Leslye Headland, who penned the play Bachelorette and its on-screen adaptation, is writing a pilot about a woman who fails at political blogging and gets a job at Cosmopolitan magazine as a sex and dating editor.
In a surprising development (at least it's surprising for those who didn't catch wind of the "reorganizing" Hearst did last week), Hearst announced Monday that they were giving Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles an additional job: she's now also editorial director of Seventeen, a change Hearst says is part of their…
Recently appointed Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles is trying hard to turn her magazine into something women don't read just as a guilty pleasure. Coles hasn't kept her goals a secret, but it's her tactics that are worth paying attention to: instead of attempting to convince her fellow media-hounds that the magazine…
Just three days into her new show The Real Story on Fox News where she's trying to "hold everyone's feet to the fire," Gretchen Carlson pulled out the big guns by hosting a "power panel of women" that included former Real Housewife of New York Jill Zarin and new Miss America Nina Davuluri. The women decided to tackle…
The above image is a screencap of a random piece of over-the-top Anna Wintour gossip we spotted floating around Facebook. So let's talk one of the chicest perks of the media economy: the editor-in-chief's clothing allowance.
On the heels of magazine editors the industry across discussing ladymags' devotion to "serious journalism," Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles has said it's her plan to add more politics to the women's mag, which is considered by some to be only good for sex tips like what a good idea it is to leave fruit in your mouth…
Joanna Coles, the current editor of Marie Claire (and regular "Project Runway All Stars" judge), will replace Kate White as the editor of Cosmopolitan, America's most popular women's magazine and bible for fun fearless women who aren't afraid of psychotic sex tips.
The editor-in-chief of Marie Claire has responded to the controversy over a blog post on their site entitled, "Should Fatties Get a Room? (Even on TV?)" by saying... almost nothing at all. Meanwhile, author Maura Kelly has apologized.
Shit just got real.
Why does Hilary Swank look so worried on the cover of the November Marie Claire? Maybe because she got a look at the obnoxious questions MC editor in chiefJoanna Coles was about to ask her.
Marie Claire editor Joanna Coles is known as "the Simon Cowell of fashion"; obviously, she'll make for awesome reality TV.
Post-The Devil Wears Prada, The Fashionista Diaries and Stylilsta comes Running In Heels, the new series set behind-the-scenes at Marie Claire. Is anyone still interested in how their magazine sausage is made?

A distinctly inessential re-release
John Brodeur
Tiget Pop Ten
(Mr. Duck)
US: 5 Apr 2011
UK: 5 Apr 2011
Albany, NY's John Brodeur released Tiger Pop in 2001; as records go, it's serviceable enough, with well-produced songs employing a multitude of hooks and a variety of sonic approaches ranging from sensitive-guy guitar strumming to fuzzy guitar assaults. Brodeur's voice isn't quite strong enough to carry all the high notes, but he uses falsetto well and his lyrics, though not as clever as he probably thinks they are, are practically Walt Whitman compared to Britney or Rhianna or J-Lo.
The mystery here is who the heck decided this pleasantly forgettable slice of pop deserved to be taken out, dusted off, re-recorded, then re-released in a two-disc set containing both the original disc and the new performances. This ain't Rubber Soul we're talking about—though I'm sure Brodeur would love to be compared to McCartney—and the remakes are generally no improvement over the originals, which were lively and engaging enough to begin with. Generally, the re-recordings add elements to the mix—beefed-up guitars and backing vocals on songs like "Infected" and "Remains of a Heart", oozing synth lines in "Sucker", a lilting trumpet in "Changing Your Mind", and so on.
The question also arises: who is going to buy this? Fans of the original will probably be uninterested in hearing their favorites songs on steroids, while listeners who didn't like the 2001 edition are unlikely to go charging out to buy a record of songs they never liked anyway. An early contender, then, for Most Irrelevant Record of 2011.

I absolutely loved Danni. She's sweet, she's cute and most of all realistic. She knows what she wants and while she's not all fired up about some of the thing Justice asks for, she deals with them. She realizes if she wants him she's got to take what he's giving her now, and fight for the rest of what she wants. Not only does she not bitch and whine about it, she actually acts like a mature adult about it. Instead of hating Emma, she actually tries to help and befriend her.
Emma. I felt really bad for Emma threw most of the book. After her and Ink hooked up I the last book, she's not exactly anyone's favorite person. Then when Justice starts showing interests too I was really worried as it seems Danni is everyone's favorite person. But I like how both girls were very mature about what was happening and actually became friendly. Emma actually grew on me as she refused to be pushed around. She's strong and has backbone and isn't going to take anyone's crap.
Justice wasn't my favorite Severed biker, but he did grow on me. I think he was kind of blind to how much Danni loved him and a little cruel because of it. However, he wasn't doing it intentionally, they were not a couple as such so therefore he was free to do as he pleased. I thought it was touching when he realized how much he did care for her. I. The end he really redeemed himself to me. Plus, I adored the protective brother thing and I kinda wished he had been my big brother when I was still dating. He would have come in handy.
While the ending had me holding my breath, and I'll probably be of the minority her, I actually found it kind of beautiful.
In reviews I usually give a synopsis of the plot, but there are so many plot twists that I dont want to risk any spoilers. This is a story with Shakesperian like star crossed lovers, unrequited love, and heart wrenching tragedy.
All the characters are well developed, engaging yet humanly flawed. Thet experience the deepst loves and deepest losses an you can mourn, love, and continue living with them.
If you have not read the first two books in the series, you really have to in order to enjoy this fantastic read!
If Amazon would let me I would give it 100 stars!
What a great book!! Each book in the series is better than the one before it. Severed Justice left me a mess. Bawling cause I did not see that ending coming, AT ALL.
Cowboy....oh he is so broken, can't wait.
Emma....just, wow. Where is this headed.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. NBCC finalist King (Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling) presents an engrossing account of the years from 1863—when paintings denied entry into the French Academy's yearly Salon were shown at the Salon des Refusés—to 1874, the date of the first Impressionist exhibition. To dramatize the conflict between academicians and innovators during these years, he follows the careers of two formidable, and very different, artists: Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, a conservative painter celebrated for detailed historical subjects, and Édouard Manet, whose painting Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe caused an uproar at the Salon des Refusés. Many other artists of the day, among them Courbet, Degas, Morisot, Monet and Cézanne, are included in King's compelling narrative, and the story is further enhanced by the author's vivid portrayal of artistic life in Paris during a turbulent era that saw the siege of the city by the Prussians and the fall of Napoleon III. An epilogue underscores the irony of the tale: after his death, Meissonier quickly fell from favor, while Manet, whose paintings were once judged scandalous, was recognized as a great artist who set the stage for Impressionism and the future of painting. Illus. not seen by PW. (Feb.)

From Booklist
King is a master at linking pivotal moments in art history to epic rivalries. In his third supremely engaging and illuminating inquiry (following Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, 2003), King summons forth mid-nineteenth-century Paris and vividly portrays two diametrically opposed artists. Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, "the world's wealthiest and most celebrated painter," spends years laboring over his meticulously detailed historical paintings, eliminating every trace of the brush and striving for scientific precision. Newcomer Edouard Manet dispenses with the historical claptrap and the highly polished finish that are Meissonier's stock in trade, and boldly creates sharp contrasts and "vigorous brushstrokes" to depict ordinary people and brazenly matter-of-fact female nudes. Meissonier is a crowd-pleaser, Manet nearly instigates riots. King follows the fortunes of this pair of celebrity artists over the course of a decade as Meissonier becomes a "giant to be slain" and Manet is anointed king of the impressionists. Writing with zest and a remarkable command of diverse and fascinating facts, and offering keen insights into the matrix of art, politics, social mores, and technology, King charts the coalescence of a movement that changed not only painting for all time but also our way of seeing the world. And perhaps most laudably, he resurrects a discredited and forgotten figure, the marvelous monomaniac Meissonier, a man King has bemused affection and respect for, and an artist readers will be delighted to learn about.

Now, King takes us to Paris in the middle of the 19th century, the time between two important exhibitions - the Salon De Refuses in 1863 and the first showing of Impressionist paintings in 1874. To chronicle this tumultuous period in the world of art, King wisely tells the story through the eyes of two men, rivals for approval - Ernest Meissonier, a famous painter who had already achieved success, and Edouard Manet, a leader of the avant-garde.
Yes, the two artists were poles apart in their artistic approach, but there was more to their dislike of one another. During the Franco-Prussian War, Manet was a staff officer and Meissonier his superior. Meissonier, mean spirited and very full of himself, treated Manet coldly, never acknowledging the fact that he was a fellow painter. Of course, in Meissonier's eyes he had no colleagues; after all he was the most famous painter of his time, and recipient of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.
Meissonier's work was predictable, full of detail in his historical scenes, yet his paintings were in great demand. Manet, on the other hand, enjoyed no such popularity. His work was denigrated by the Salon, citing moral and artistic grounds - nudity was not acceptable unless it was portrayed in the distant past, certainly not in a painting showing a nude woman and men in dress of that time.Read more ›
He may only be commended for the amazing research that he accomplished and that allows him to provide a slew of details regarding protagonists, events and context.
The basic premise of the book is to draw a parallel between the lives and works of Ernest Meissonier, a now forgotten champion of traditional art, and Édouard Manet, seen as the incarnation of artistic innovation. For good measure, the political evolution of France in that period, that is the rise and fall of Napoleon III, is thrown in. The book's chapters, which are short, thus alternate from one topic to the other to the third. This makes the train of thought often very difficult to follow.
Worse, Meissonier is of little interest to 21st century readers, Claude Monet was the true initiator of impressionism (with which Édouard Manet did not particularly associate) and the movement really developed after Napoleon III was ousted from power, national politics having little to do with painting anyway. Thus, the whole foundation of the book is shaky. The result is a long and drawn out work that turns out to be outright tedious.
This is by no means alleviated by the lay-out which is hopelessly antiquated with some low quality black and white photos inserted here and there in the main text and eight pages of colour plates grouped together in the middle of the book.
Strangely, the author chooses to provide only English-language titles for most of the paintings with no mention of the original French. Of course, this makes googling more difficult if the reader wishes to know more about the work or simply to look at a decent reproduction.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
It is fine to argue now, as a fatuous NY Times review did, that Meissonier's major work, Friedland: 1807, is "fussy," but attention must also be paid to the quote in King's book that sheds important light on the Impressionists: On page 196, Claude Monet says: "It really is appallingly difficult to do something which is complete in every respect, and I think most people are content with mere approximations." Meissonier emerges, like his paintings, in three dimensions; Manet, like his, in two. Manet is portrayed as petulant, mean, and petty, refusing at first even to meet Monet because of a belief that the younger man was stealing his name. And while it is certain that the moneyed classes preferred Meissonier and kept him in high style, the younger artists were beneficiaries of shameless logrolling, particulary by Emile Zola. When Zola saw a Manet he apparently didn't like, he simply clammed up.
Ideally, viewers would judge art by looking at it and applying their own aesthetic standards. To take one example from the evil "conservatives" cited by King who tried to thwart the generation of 1863, I suggest looking at Dominique Ingres' "Princesse Debroglie" on the Web. Is this the painting of a hidebound no-talent? Or view Meissonier's "The Campaign of France." King calls it one of the greatest depictions of motion ever captured on canvas, and I see no cause to dispute him. Meissonier is forgotten, yes, but thanks to King maybe now he will get a little attention -- not as much as the sainted Impressionists, mind you, but a little.
In addition to this, in the Kindle edition, plates are referred to but do not appear. Since this is a book on painting, this is indeed important and a pity that they do not do so.
THAT is the suff of great literature and life lessons. Long life the King!
Ross King follows the careers of Manet and Meissionier, painters at opposite poles of the art establishment, in the decade between the first Salon des Refuses in 1863 and the first Impressionist show in 1874. Set against the lite-opera of France's Second Empire under Louis Napoleon, he champions both artists and alternates back and forth between their very different careers.
Meissonier was the successful leader of the Salon style of historical painting with it's meticulous attention to detail and bourgeois moral value. Manet broke with the conventions of Salon painting and took on "the painting of modern life" with a direct style of brush handling that infuriated most critics and precipitated the Impressionist movement.
In addition to quick sketches of the other players in the Paris art scene - Zola, Baudelaire, Delacroix, Courbet, Monet, Hugo, Degas and many more, he engrossingly chronicles the Salon process and the way it dominated the careers of artists and the attention of the rising middle class.
This is an excellent introduction to the histrionic drama of late nineteenth century Modernist painting.
By focusing on the painting Salons of 1863-74, King shifts the focus of the book from a biography of Meissonier and Manet to the business component of these Salons. Ross never really takes us into their interior lives. This was a very important decade for the development of modern painting and unfortunately we only get thumbnail sketches of the other great Impressionist painters and the world that helped shape them.
Finally, I was dissapointed that King quickly concludes his thesis on the reversal of fortunes in the very last chapter of the book. There is no doubt that Edouard Manet was the more influential painter of the two. He was one of the giants of the 19th Century. However, for King's thesis to work, Manet must reach great heights while Meissonier must dissapears into mediocre obscurity. But I am not so sure that Meissonier is the forgotten figure that King wants us to believe. Ernest Meissonier was one of the great historical painters and his works are very well known to people who appreciate this genre of painting. Ernest Meissioner was not the mediocre figure that King dishonestly wants us to believe.
Ross King writes very well and his book is geared towards the general reading public. I wanted to like this book but in the end, he was not able to sell me on his thesis. For those who like the period, I would recommend "Art, War & Revolution in France 1870-1871: Myth, Reportage and Reality" by John Milner. Milner's beautifully illustrated book is not geared for the general reading public but it does a much better job of capturing the feel of the period.

Jason Aldean Reaches Out to 10-Year-Old Who Gave Back to Others
Jason Aldean is rewarding one very special young lady for her good deeds this Christmas season.
Jason Aldean is rewarding one very special young lady for her good deeds this Christmas season.
Jason Aldean is drawing criticism after photos surfaced last week of the singer's Halloween costume, for which he chose to dress as rapper Lil Wayne.
A semi-truck carrying gear for Jason Aldean's Burn It Down Tour flipped when the driver lost control on the way to a show in Prince George, B.C.
The Peach State's four most swoon-worthy country exports — Cole Swindell, Kip Moore, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan — may be attempting to break the internet.
As one of the leading male artists in country music, Jason Aldean is well aware of the stereotypes that go along with much of today's uptempo, rock-based party anthems. He was one of the first artists to be tagged with the label "bro-country," and but it seems like the Georgia native has finally had enough.
Next Tuesday (April 21) will mark one month since Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr were married in Mexico.
A country fan wanted to get Jason Aldean's attention, so he threw a cup of beer at him.
Jason Aldean recently tied the knot with Brittany Kerr, which means the superstar is sporting a new wedding band to signify his commitment to his wife.
Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan have been close friends for years, but now Aldean says they "can't be friends anymore" due to an unfortunate promo shot that he dredged up from Bryan's poofy-haired past.
It's been a week since Jason Aldean married Brittany Kerr and the couple is already talking babies. Before the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night, Aldean revealed that they "definitely want to have kids."
Several country stars stepped out on the 2015 iHeart Radio Awards red carpet on Sunday night (March 29) and, as usual, they made our genre look good.
Jason Aldean performed his white-hot hit "Burnin' It Down" on the 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards on Sunday night (March 29).

|Customer Reviews for: Mozart: Complete Piano Concertos / Perahia
Average Review
5.0 Stars (26 Reviews)
On sale!
CD: $29.99In Stock
|Previous 1 2
|One of the best September 11, 2012
|By Simon H. Rook (Saltspring Island, BC) -- See All My Reviews
|I have always been on the lookout for one of the really great performances of the Mozart Piano Concertos: Uchida, Baremboim, Perahia. When this one came up on sale I grabbed it and have not regretted it. As always Perahia's playing is immaculate but still full of emotion. He seems to understand the underlaying message of each movement of each concerto. The balance of piano and orchestra is very good and one can clearly hear all the instrumentation. If you haven't got this, you won't regret buying it. Report Abuse
|Beautifully played Mozart at an amazing price September 9, 2012
|By L. Majors (Bartlesville, OK) -- See All My Reviews
|These performances of the Mozart Piano Concertos are truly outstanding; and even though some of these recordings are 30+ years old the quality of the recordings are first rate. A truly outstanding value for any lover of the Mozart Piano Concertos. Report Abuse
|Amazing Deal For Wonderful Music September 5, 2012
|By RONALD DAVIES (Takoma Park, MD) -- See All My Reviews
Murray Perahia playing Mozart? 12 CDs for $32? I couldnt believe it. All his wonderful sensitivity and flair for the music in all its glory. And for me an introduction to many of the early concerti you rarely hear, as well as definitive readings of many of the familiar works.
If you love Mozart piano concerti this is a true treasure--and an absolutely incredible deal. Report Abuse
|A Fantastic Collection. September 4, 2012
|By m. jefferson (birmingham, AL) -- See All My Reviews
|I purchased this complete box set of W.A. Mozart's Piano Concerti almost a month ago and it is truly a fantastic collection, with Murray Perahia and the English Chamber Orchestra. This set originates from the 1980's, and a few were recorded at the Aldebrough Music Festival back in June, 1988, at Snape Malting's Auditorium. The sound is very good; excellent, in fact, but do let me point out that as of this review, I have been able to listen to only the first ten concertoes. Regardless, I would very strongly recommend this set to anyone who loves piano music, and especially one who is searching for a complete collection of Herr Mozart's piano concertoes. It is a very good collection, indeed. Report Abuse
|Murray Perahia Owns Mozart September 4, 2012
|By Victor Crick (Ladysmith, BC) -- See All My Reviews
|I gave this recording five stars even though there are one or two slight hesitations in the sound on some discs. This did not sully my pleasure, however. The sound was luminous and, of course, the music was flawlessly performed by Mr. Perahia. This was an outstanding performance and an excellent purchase. Report Abuse
|Miraculous August 7, 2012
|By Richard C. (Blairgowrie, Victoria) -- See All My Reviews
|This is an astonishing bargain, wonderously played by Perahia and finely-supported by the ECO. The Mozart concertos are well represented in the catalogue and the Brendel set with Marriner and the ASMF is also superb, with the soloist a little more deliberate and the orchestra a little more distinctive than is the ECO. An old recording of No 24 with Solomon as soloist with Menges and the Philharmonia remains a personal favourite. Report Abuse
|Cream of the Crop!! August 4, 2012
|By W. Brown (Centerburg, OH) -- See All My Reviews
|Murray Perahia's Mozart cycle is a must for every seroius Classical music collector. Recorded in the early 70's and 80's, the sound is superb. Perahia really knows his Mozart- perhaps even better than some of his more recent contemporaries. Grab this one and enjoy!! Report Abuse

(MIAMI, FL) -- Friends and fans of performer Kimora Klein, who was severely injured in an auto accident in January, are invited to attend a fund-raising party at Miami Velvet on Friday, April 8. The evening offers fans a chance to meet some of their favorite adult entertainers, including Sara Jay, Angelina Castro, Cameron Keys, Karen Kougar and other performers while partying at Florida's largest on-premise Swingers Club.
On the morning of Jan. 5, the 21-year-old Klein was involved in a multiple vehicle collision in Miami. Kimora's injuries included multiple hip, pelvic, jaw and rib fractures, perforated liver, and a collapsed lung. After more than six weeks in the hospital she was moved to a rehabilitation facility where she is now working hard at physical therapy.
Porn legend Sara Jay, speaking on behalf of Kimora's friends who are organizing the benefit, explained, "We are happy to do what ever we can to help Kimora with her escalating medical bills and we appreciate the support of Miami Velvet, other event sponsors and those who have already donated through HelpKimora.com"
"We created HelpKimora.com to provide a way for Kimora's friends and fans to stay up-to-date on her progress, from her stay in the hospital, to the rehabilitation center and finally to her full recovery," said MILF porn star Karen Kougar.
Donations can be made through the site and there is a forum available there for Kimora's fans to communicate with her.
In addition to a portion of the club's admission fee going to Help Kimora, a number of special fund raising initiatives are planned for the evening. Attendees will have the chance to win a variety of prizes including autographed photos, DVD's, t-shirts, posters and one-of-kind gift packs featuring star donors such as Vicky Vette, Alexis Golden, Marie Madison, Karen Fisher, and Josh Stone.
Miami Velvet's General Manager Jason Silvera said, "There is a close relationship between our community of swingers and the adult entertainers who we all love. Kimora is facing a very difficult situation, and we are glad that we can assist her by hosting an exciting evening of sexy fun."
Miami Velvet requires membership for all who enter. Registration is available at MiamiVelvet.com or at the entrance. On Friday, April 8, single women are invited to attend free of charge, the entry fee for couples is $70 and single guys are $85.
Miami Velvet is located at 3901 NW 77 in Miami, 33166.

nice and fresh insight, but i am not sure about the morals. it certainly supports the feeling of being ugly by saying that it is understandable. for kids with acne, this ad is probably hurtful.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
(PSP, iPhone )
Great Game.By Juan R. Cordero, Jr. Score:
Oct 09, 2007 5:38PM PST
There are some minor flaws, but if you enjoyed the original or love SRPGS you can't go wrong here. One thing you may have to get used to is the new translation. I admit I got confused when I saw the new names for some of the character's abilities. But, not a big deal.
People, if you don't have a PSP and love RPGs, you should get one soon. This game is incredibly deep, and the story is excellent. Plus the addition of multiplayer will make it last even longer, if you have good opponents.
You should enjoy one of the best offerings yet of the Ivalice Alliance.

Apple Mac OS X patch for Java finally arrives
Users were left open to Java flaw for over six weeks
AFTER MAC USERS were left open to attack for "more than six weeks", Apple has finally patched a Java flaw in Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7.
The Ithing maker released a Knowledge Base article yesterday advising users of Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8, OS X Lion v10.7.3 and OS X Lion Server v10.7.3 to update their Java software.
Apple said that the fix addressed "multiple vulnerabilities" in Java 1.6.0_29, the most serious of which could allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox.
"Visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. These issues are addressed by updating to Java version 1.6.0_31," Apple warned.
However, Apple's advisory and update comes after Oracle warned of the security issues and pushed out the Java 31 updates for Windows, Linux and Unix in the middle of last month. This delay has drawn criticism from security experts.
"Today's release updates Java to version 6 update 31 which Oracle released for Windows, Linux and Unix on February 14th," security company Sophos said on its blog.
"This does make you wonder whether Apple takes security as seriously as it should. Perhaps its public facing image of being invulnerable is the prevailing attitude within the company. Why Apple did not deploy these fixes before Mac users were victimized by criminals is unclear. Fortunately, once it became a problem the company responded quickly."
Sophos went on to point out that the Apple release comes hard on the heels of an in-the-wild exploit actively targeting Mac users, in one of the first drive-by exploits the company has seen for OS X. µ

The room smelled really clean but we were greeted with a large hairy bug in the tub immediately after checkin. We saw another bug later in our stay in the living room. Perhaps it was just a fluke. Otherwise the room was clean.
The biggest issue with this room was there was no wireless internet connection. Also the pet fee is outrageous ($150 flat fee for 1 to many nights).
Breakfast was good but short (only goes to 9am). Evening light dinner some nights.
No outdoor pool (like som Marriotts have) so the kids were a bit disappointed but I think the tennis court made up for this. The exercise room (which I did not use this time around) looks like the typical size.
The beds were comfortable. Modern TVs in the rooms. This residence inn has not been modernized like some of the other ones. Its decor is older.
The staff was nice.
Restaraunts are nearby (some within walking distance).

Set high up on a spur between the two natural bowls of the sassi , the subdued, graceful exterior of the 13th-century Puglian-Romanesque cathedral makes the neobaroque excess within all the more of a surprise. The ornate capitals, sumptuous chapels and tons of gilding were getting an extensive renovation at last visit. Pediments mounted on the cathedral's altars came from the Greek temples at Metaponto.

If last year's Golden Globe Awards heralded the streaming services' arrival as major television players, this year's list of nominees shows streaming networks have suddenly become the dominant forces. Netflix led all TV networks with 8 nominations , while Amazon had 5 and Hulu landed its first nomination. Those picks came at the expense of the broadcast networks, which managed just 11 nominations in all—4 for ABC, 4 for Fox, 2 for The CW and 1 for CBS—while NBC, which will broadcast the Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan. 10, was shut out completely. (NBC's cable sibling, USA, landed three nominations for Mr. Robot.) The streaming services accounted for four of the six shows nominated for best TV series, musical or comedy: Casual (Hulu), Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon), Orange is the New Black (Netflix) and last year's winner, Transparent (Amazon). The other two nominees were for HBO shows Silicon Valley and Veep. No broadcast TV series made the list. On the best drama side, a single broadcast show—Fox's Empire—made the cut. It will compete with three cable shows (HBO's Game of Thrones, USA's Mr. Robot and Starz's Outlander) and one Netflix series (Narcos)Read More
You know how the old psychological theory goes: Someone tells you not to think of a white bear, and then that's all you can think about. To help promote its miniseries, Childhood's End, which premieres Monday night, Syfy is testing the phenomenon in the hopes it's all wrong. Using YouTube's TrueView skippable ad format—which allows viewers to clickthrough after five seconds—Syfy created three custom spots that implore viewers to watch the ads in full, telling them, "Don't skip the ad." "We're getting somebody's attention because we're saying, 'I'm paying attention to you right now and what you're doing,'" Sara Moscowitz, Syfy's svp of brand and strategic marketing, told Adweek. Based on Arthur C. Clarke's 1953 novel of the same name, Childhood's End centers on an ostensibly benevolent alien race that rules the earth. In one of the spots , Syfy incorporates that theme by telling viewers (within the first few seconds) they don't need to be afraid of the ad. In another, which you can see below, Syfy plays on viewers' familiarity with the actors by referencing their previous roles ( Tywin Lannister , anyone?). The third spot also plays on familiarity with the actors but in a more subtle way. It serves quick shots of all of them before showing footage from the new showRead More
Anybody who thinks broadcast television is dying obviously hasn't met Greg Berlanti , the talented and prolific writer and superproducer behind this fall's two biggest freshman series among viewers 18-49. First, there's NBC's Blindspot , which the network has already renewed for a second season. Then, there's Supergirl on CBS, Berlanti's third superhero series along with the CW's The Flash (that network's most-watched show ever) and Arrow. (A fourth superhero project, the Flash/Arrow spinoff DC's Legends of Tomorrow, will debut Jan. 21.) As if that weren't enough on his plate, he's also got The Mysteries of Laura, NBC's sole freshman series from last season to make it to a second year. Berlanti, Adweek's TV Producer of the Year, never intended to oversee six TV shows at once (he serves as co-showrunner on the four superhero series and is executive producer of Blindspot and Laura). "It's a combination of a lot of past relationships coming to fruition—and, as always in this business, luck," says Berlanti, who delegates many duties to key allies like Sarah Schechter, who runs his production company, but maintains strict control over each show's essential elements. "I find I can affect the quality of an episode if I focus on the things that I've always enjoyed the most: What are the stories, who's acting in them and the finished cut," he says. Juggling six TV shows requires "a lot of time management," notes Berlanti, who begins every day writing scripts ("My morning time is my most creative," he relates) before transitioning to making notes on other writers' scripts and "breaking" story arcs for upcoming episodes. After that, he shifts his attention to casting and budget matters, before ending the day in the editing room "because I don't have to use my brain in quite the same way," he says. "It's more reactive than trying to generate something." Berlanti employs the same mantra for all his projects: "Heart. Humor. Spectacle." "My favorite episodes of TV as a viewer, and certainly as a writer or producer, have those elements," he explains. "The humor keeps the episodes enjoyable and reminds you that not everything has to be deadly serious. Heart is something that I've always led with when I've written, or responded to in other people's stories. And the spectacle can be the emotional spectacle, or it can be the visual effects and action of it all." The producer, who previously worked on the WB's Dawson's Creek and Everwood and ABC's Brothers and Sisters, continues to create smashes for broadcast television even as many of his writer-producer peers have turned to cable channels and streaming sites. "To me, there's still nothing more thrilling than, every week, people getting to see another chapter in this story that you're telling," says Berlanti, who recently extended his lucrative TV deal with Warner Bros. through 2020. Berlanti's phenomenal success seems to surprise him as much as anyone.Read More
Throughout her legendary career, Bonnie Hammer has learned just about everything there is to know about the television industry, except for one thing: how to rest on her laurels. "If you're not always thinking about the storms that are about to come, you're going to be in big trouble," she says. "I've never been afraid of change." That's why the chairman of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group and Adweek's TV Executive of the Year has spent the past year shaking up the 10 networks she oversees—including heavyweights USA, Bravo and E!—keeping them fresh, exciting and relevant for audiences in a turbulent TV landscape. "It's taking a look at every piece of the organization, almost from a zero base," says Hammer. "If we were designing a world to compete in today, not last year or 10 years ago, how would you do that?" Last fall, Hammer combined Bravo, Oxygen, E! and the upstart Esquire Network into the Lifestyle Networks Group, unifying the brands in the same fashion NBCU ad sales chairman Linda Yaccarino sells them to advertisers. "Every single channel was a silo. With one overall voice, it made it neater, cleaner and more nimble in terms of everything from sales to early-stage development," explains Hammer of the reorg, which helped inspire similar ones at rival players like Viacom and A+E Networks. Hammer pushed several NBCU cable properties to launch scripted series for the first time (Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce and Odd Mom Out on Bravo, The Royals on E!, Spotless on Esquire), helping to diversify and fortify the nets when and if franchises like the Real Housewives and the Kardashians run out of steam. ("We keep waiting for the day—and it doesn't happen," notes Hammer.) Significantly, the new scripted projects add a vital new stream of revenue for the company. "What scripted provides that reality hasn't yet, and probably won't, is back end. If you can own content that has a nice, long tail, that is a moderate to amazing hit, it's money in the bank—it's just good business," explains Hammer, who also runs the in-house studios Universal Cable Productions (which handles scripted shows) and Wilshire Studios (reality and unscripted). Hammer's riskiest move involved the crown jewel of her portfolio, USA, moving the network away from its signature "blue skies" procedurals, which were no longer connecting with audiences. "We wanted to nail something in the zeitgeist," she says. "And that's where Mr. Robot came." This summer's sensational hacker drama was, at the outset, anything but a sure thing, but Hammer went forward with the gamble. "We all said, 'This could fail big. We all have to agree that this is an experiment, but we're willing to do it,'" recalls Hammer. Mr. Robot would end up taking viewers by storm, helping USA finish its 10th year as the most-watched entertainment network in prime time on basic cable. As for properties in her stable that remain a work in progress—like Oxygen, which is still struggling to connect with its 20-something female viewer base—Hammer is considering all options, including a possible OTT playRead More
CBS has invested a lot of promotional to its revamped late-night lineup this year, but next February, both Stephen Colbert and James Corden will get their biggest push yet. The network said today that it would air a live episode of Stephen Colbert's Late Show directly following its broadcast of Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7, 2016, the first time a late-night show will get the plum post-Super Bowl slot. Following Colbert and the local news, CBS will then air a special Super Bowl episode of James Corden's Late Late Show, as the network looks to take advantage of the massive audience that the Super Bowl provides. Last year, NBC ran a special live episode of The Tonight Show, which followed an episode of The Blacklist and local news.Read More
CBS is bringing back Star Trek, but the new series will boldly go where no previous iteration of the show has gone before: on a digital platform. In a first for CBS, the network announced this morning that a new Star Trek series will premiere in 2017 on the broadcast network before moving exclusively to subscription-on-demand service, CBS All Access. This will be the first series that CBS is producing solely for its digital platform, which launched in 2014. CBS All Access, which runs $5.99 per month, currently includes the entire library of every Star Trek television series. CBS Studios International will distribute the series to other TV networks and digital platforms around the world. Though CBS owns the show, and original creator Gene Roddenberry had initially developed it for CBS, it aired on NBC for three years from 1966-1969. The short-lived series spawned a massive pop culture franchise, which has included 12 feature films—with a 13th, Star Trek Beyond, due next year—and multiple spin-off shows. The new series will be developed by executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who co-wrote and produced the rebooted film franchise, beginning with 2009's Star Trek and continuing with 2013's, Star Trek Into Darkness. CBS said the new show is not related to the upcoming Star Trek Beyond film and will feature new characters and settings. "We've experienced terrific growth for CBS All Access, expanding the service across affiliates and devices in a very short time," said Marc DeBevoise, evp and general manager, CBS Digital Media. "We now have an incredible opportunity to accelerate this growth with the iconic Star Trek, and its devoted and passionate fan base, as our first original series." The move to put the new Star Trek exclusively on a digital platform comes as the broadcast industry is looking for ways to bring in elusive millennial viewers who often eschew traditional television. CBS successfully launched Supergirl last week with an eye toward younger viewers. But overnight Nielsen ratings—especially among the adults 18 to 49 demographic that advertisers covet—have been down so far this season. Nielsen will begin to roll out its new Total Audience Measurement tool to count viewers across multiple platforms next month. Star Trek continues the trend of cable and broadcast networks banking on reboots or remakes of known properties that come with built-in fan bases. This season alone has seen TV versions of the films Minority Report and Limitless, as well as a revival of another decades-old TV show: The Muppets.Read More
On Sept. 28, the final piece of the recast late-night lineup clicked into place with the debut of The Daily Show With Trevor Noah . Replacing an icon like Jon Stewart after 16 years would be a daunting task for anybody, much less a relative unknown like the 31-year-old South African comedian. But Noah started strong ("Assured, handsome and with a crisp delivery, Mr. Noah was a smoother presenter than Mr. Stewart," proclaimed The New York Times), and he has improved markedly every night since. When Stewart announced in February that he was stepping down as Daily Show host, Comedy Central offered the job to big names like Amy Schumer before settling on Noah, who started as a Daily Show contributor last December. The network is betting on Noah's long-term potential to reach millennial audiences (see " In Just Nine Months, Comedy Central Reshaped Late Night—and Kept Advertisers Happy "), and so far, so good. While ratings have dipped versus Stewart (which Comedy Central anticipated), more than half of the show's 18-34 audience is new to the show under Noah, according to the network. Meanwhile, advertisers have stayed loyal. According to SQAD NetCosts, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah boasts the second-highest 30-second ad rates in late night, behind only The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. After wrapping his first few weeks in the chair, Noah sat with Adweek to talk about easing into his role, what he thinks about brand integrations, plus the crazy consumerism that has come to define the holidays in America and the world. Adweek: Some worried that you would completely overhaul The Daily Show, but it was clear from your first night that this was the same program that audiences knew and loved. What was behind that choice?Read More
It's been nine years since networks and advertisers agreed on the eligibility criteria for C3 and C7 TV ratings, but given the seismic shifts in the industry since then, it feels more like 90 years. In 2006, iPhones, tablets, OTT and connected TV devices like Roku didn't even exist; networks had just begun to experiment with streaming full episodes online (Hulu and Netflix streaming were still a year away); DVRs resided in less than 10 percent of homes; and YouTube, not yet owned by Google, was in its infancy. But in our modern world of streaming, time shifting and cord cutting, "more and more, those ratings are not resembling what is actually going on in terms of consumer exposure to those assets," said Megan Clarken, evp, global watch product leadership for Nielsen. But not for long: Nielsen is trying to overhaul the industry's outdated ad metrics by next year's upfront. On Oct. 15, the company assembled 25 top execs—including network ad sales and buying chiefs—to start discussions about transitioning to a new set of criteria. Some attendees were surprised to learn that the current C3 and C7 definitions—which exclude any viewing where the ad load isn't identical to the linear telecast (i.e., almost any streaming), as well as all DVR and VOD viewing beyond the seventh day after it airs—are constrained not by Nielsen's technical capabilities, but by that 2006 industrywide agreement. "Nielsen can measure a lot more than they're given credit for, but the definition is what it is, so they're hamstrung by that, and we all have to go along with it," said David Campanelli, svp, director of national broadcast for Horizon Media. Nielsen's efforts were prompted by its upcoming total audience measurement tool, which the company shared exclusively with Adweek last week. Two years in development, total audience measurement offers what networks and buyers have spent years asking for: the ability to account for a program's consumption across all platforms (including linear, DVR, VOD, OTT, mobile, tablets, PCs, digital publishers like YouTube and connected devices like Roku and Xbox), while aligning the disparate metrics for linear and video content. Nielsen will begin sharing data with its clients in December and roll out the tool's full capabilities early next year. At last week's meeting, the company discussed "the next iteration of C3 and C7," said Clarken, as well as "a shift toward a complete change in the currency," a more complete overhaul of the current system, using Nielsen's total audience measurement. "It's important for us to understand how this thing is going to evolve over time, not just tomorrow but in future years," said Clarken. Among the challenges in changing metrics: While program and commercial ratings were essentially identical for linear TV, those numbers diverge in a linear world where because of ad targeting, audiences for the same show are receiving different ads. "The needs of the network to prove success of a show and the need of an advertiser to deliver impressions start to be two different things," said Campanelli. "C3, C7 and C30 is a horizontal view of things, and I think we need to start looking at things more vertically, and how many total impressions across different formats can ABC deliver my advertiser on Wednesday night, rather than in the Modern Family spot across 30 days." By mid-November, Nielsen will next bring together the researchers who routinely analyze the ratings data for the first meeting's attendees, before assembling both groups for a third meeting.Read More
ESPN's Scott Van Pelt explains that it's impossible to follow in his footsteps because his path to success isn't something that can be duplicated. Van Pelt was a young production assistant for the Golf Channel when he was asked to impersonate Arnold Palmer during rehearsals for a new show. Former Golf Channel executive producer Michael Whelan asked, "Who is this idiot that thinks he's Arnold Palmer?" The next thing Van Pelt knew, he was a reporter for the network. "I was no more a reporter than I was an astronaut," Van Pelt said. A friendship with Tiger Woods would propel his career even further, and it's a good thing it worked out for the current midnight SportsCenter host. "I'm not capable of doing anything else," he said. "The whole TV thing is just a gigantic happy accident. There is no recipe I can give you."Read More
The CW concludes Adweek's week-long fall TV preview today not with a bang, but with a whimper. While the other four broadcasters are rolling out at least five new series apiece over the next two months, The CW has only one freshman show on its schedule. That's what happens when you only program 10 hours a week and renew your entire lineup from the previous fall , as the network did earlier this year. While the network still isn't a factor in the broadcast battle for adults ages 18-49, it picked up significant momentum last year with The Flash, its most-watched series ever in the 18-49 demo, and Jane the Virgin, the first CW show to win a Peabody and Golden Globe. That sets a pretty high bar for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.Read More
