One of the most democratic groups in what is loosely termed "modern-day jazz," the Rippingtons were formed (and have been light-emitting rectifying tube e'er since) by guitarist/keyboardist Russ Freeman (no social intercourse to the old hand West Coast bebop pianist of the same name). Freeman (born February 11, 1960, in Nashville) studied at Cal Arts and UCLA, and recorded Nocturnal Playground as a loss leader in 1985 for the Brainchild label, a one-person project. In 1987, he was approached to record for the Japanese Alfa label and came up with the Rippingtons identify for the all-star group he secondhand on the saucer (Moonlighting), an ensemble featuring David Benoit, Kenny G., and Brandon Fields. Their album was released domestically by Passport and became a hit. Freeman earlier long formed a regular touring stria (commonly including saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa, bassist Kim Stone, drummer Tony Morales, and percussionist Steve Reid), cut a s saucer for Passport, and the radical recorded regularly for GRP. Russ Freeman writes all of the music for the Rippingtons, much of which falls in the pop/R&B genre. In the late '90s, the group stirred over to the Windham Hill label, recording such albums as Black Diamond (1997), Topaz (1999), Live! Across America, and Aliveness in the Tropics (both in 2000). For 2003's Let It Ripp, the band relied hard on their horn incision to take the system of weights unit of the album. The Latin-flavored Wild Card followed in 2005.

Jen throws tantrum over mag cover

Jennifer Aniston allegedly threatened to pull out of a magazine photo shoot if co-star Jennifer Connelly joined her on the front cover.

The former Friends actress had agreed to appear in a new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine to promote latest movie He's Just Not That Into You but reportedly didn't want Connelly featured in the main photographs.

However, she was happy to pose alongside other female co-stars Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "She threatened to pull out if Jennifer was part of the cover. It was all about getting Jennifer Aniston front and centre and looking as sexy as possible."

Insiders on the movie set claim the two Jennifers didn't hit it off while working together.

One said: "There was no camaraderie between those two whatsoever. They didn't seem like friends in the slightest."

However, Aniston's representative has denied the story, insisting the two actresses became good friends on the movie and the magazine had requested she pose alone.

The representative said: "There is no drama whatsoever. Marie Claire wanted Jennifer Aniston alone. It was our idea to make it a group cover as Jennifer Aniston has a smaller supporting role in the film.

"The magazine only wanted to put three of them on the cover and definitely wanted Drew Barrymore.

"We recommended Ginnifer Goodwin because she is basically the lead role in the film. Jennifer got along great with Jennifer Connelly."

'Tokyo!' heads to North America

Liberation Entertainment takes rights to film triptych





CANNES -- Liberation Entertainment has snatched up North American rights to "Tokyo!," the film triptych from all-star directors Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Joon-ho Bong.


The three short pics take on the Japanese metropolis through the lenses of the three auteurs. "Tokyo!" had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section, and will be released by Liberation in theaters later this year.


Carax's segment, titled "Merde," focuses on a man who engages in provocative acts on the streets of Tokyo. Bong helmed "Shaking Tokyo," about a recluse who falls in love during an earthquake. Gondry's "Interior Design" is a fable that centers on a couple drifting apart.


Movie follows the trend of "Paris, J'taime" and the upcoming "New York, I Love You," both of which package shorts from a diverse group of directors whose films are shot and set in, and reflect different aspects, of a particular city.


Los Angeles and London-based Liberation launched in 2006 but has only recently ramped up its theatrical distribution arm. The company picked up the soccer docu "Kickin It" in a deal with ESPN and Netflix's Red Envelope Entertainment around the time of its January Sundance premiere.


Liberation's Rob Williams negotiated the deal with Wild Bunch's Laurent Baudens.

Moby: DJing made work fun again

MOBY - Last Night Rating *** 1/2
WITH five hit albums under his belt, Moby got bored.

Bored of never-ending touring and playing to faceless crowds. Bored of the
non-stop travel to soulless cities worldwide and bored of playing the same
songs every night. He wanted a change.

So for his latest album Last Night, he rediscovered his love of New York
clubs, in particular Manhattan’s trendy Lower East side which he has called
home for the past 15 years.

His apartment in Manhattan’s Little Italy doubles as his studio. It’s the hub
of Moby’s life, where he lives, records and entertains.

Gold and platinum discs and Joy Division posters dress the walls while the
only splash of colour in the all-white space is a yellow Andy Warhol/Velvet
Underground banana cushion.

Moby tells me:
