the brothers' promotional term of enlistment for their new album "A Little Bit Longer"
(http://www.mtv.com/music/the_leak/jonas_brothers/a_little_bit_longer).
"MTV was thrilled to have the opportunity to give fans of the Jonas
Brothers a live, cozy look at a mates of years on spell. From waking up
in the hotel and having breakfast on Saturday sunup, taking a helicopter
to a concert in the Hamptons, backstage prep moments, all the way until the
brothers were under the point as the band began their Madison Square Garden
concert, viewers got the most revealing look at the Jonas Brothers to
date," said Dave Sirulnick, Executive Vice President, News and Production
for MTV. "Bringing together our television, mobile and online production
teams with Flixwagon's streaming abilities allowed us to reach our viewers
on multiple platforms, simultaneously, creating a unfeignedly unique broadcasting
experience for MTV."
From mid-afternoon on Friday through Sunday, August 10 at midnight ET,
fans of the band visited http://jonasbros.mtv.com to keep an eye on 6 one thousand thousand
streams of Jonas Brothers clips totaling 60,000 hours of content viewed, as
the Buzzworthy web log received upward of 90,000 comments on posts
documenting the weekend. In comparison, the latest season of The Hills

Additionally, Saturday, August 9 marked the biggest day in the Buzzworthy
blog's history with 281K page views, surpassing the previous record, set the

MTV utilised an innovative mobile-to-web broadcasting technology by
Flixwagon (http://www.flixwagon.com) to current live tV footage on-line
and on air using fluid phones. Flixwagon's application allows anyone victimisation
a able 3G mobile phone to easily stream live, superiority video
directly to the web. This combination of mobile broadcast medium technology and
as-it-happens insurance coverage is resonant of News and Docs' series "Diary," but
with a live and direct twist.
"Supporting this weekend's event is yet another application of how our
Flixwagon technology allows companies like MTV to deliver unique marketing
and branding experiences," said Eran Hess, chairwoman, Flixwagon. "Having
worked with MTV during the Super Tuesday 'Choose or Lose' effort back in
February, we continue to march the scalability and flexibility of our
high-quality broadcasting platform."
Throughout the weekend, viewers were treated to clips of the band
on-air during commercial breaks at least twice per hour on MTV from 4-9pm
ET on Friday and 8am and 10pm on Saturday, and rounded up the weekend with
trey clip shows on Saturday, shot completely with mobile phones. Fans were
able to go through a different side of the Jonas Brothers than what they would
typically be wonted to, including a peek at how the guys prepare for a
prove, traveling from NYC to the Hamptons and back via eggbeater, and right
up until the here and now that they walk on stage at Madison Square Garden.
The use of Flixwagon's mobile broadcasting engineering offered a new
spirit level of tractability and complexity as MTV bloggers posted the inner scoop
from the spirit of the Jonas Brothers madness live on the site. Visitors to
the blog posted comments on the case-by-case clips, and MTV's Buzzworthy
blogger posed witness questions to the Jonas Brothers, wHO responded through
follow-up clips. All told, MTV crews shot more than 600 clips, with more
than 30 hours of output going into the "Live & Mobile" event.

The hotel's lawsuit alleges fraud, breach of written contract and other charges, reports the Associated Press.

Grammy Award-Winning, Superstar Producer T-Pain Launches Full Service Digital Record Label, Nappy Boy Digital
Nappy Boy Digital's First Release 'Beam Me Up' Features The Label's Debut
Artist, Tay Dizm, Along With T-Pain and Rick Ross
ATLANTA, June 9 -- World renowned producer and No. 1 hit
selling artist T-Pain steps into the forefront of the digital music world
with the launch of his full service, independent record label, Nappy Boy
Digital.
Nappy Boy Digital provides a direct artist to consumer connection as
well as an immediate outlet for T-Pain to release his latest and greatest
tracks. Without the constraints of the traditional major label machine,
Nappy Boy Digital will deliver new music directly into the hands of
millions of online music lovers via all the major digital download sites.
"Nappy Boy Digital is a dream come true for me. I'm excited about
bringing music by new artists to people fresh out of the studio," said
T-Pain commenting on the venture. "My life and career so far has been about
breaking barriers and this label allows me to continue that by delivering
hit songs in real time, no red tape, just good music. You'll hear us in the
clubs and on radio too, but you can discover our tracks where people spend
most of their time, online. I'm very proud to be out front on an idea like
this."
Since debuting in December 2005 with his monster hit, "I'm Sprung,"
Tallahassee, FL native T-Pain has amassed an impressive number of awards
and recognition. In 2007, his number one single "Buy U A Drank (Shawty
Snappin)" was one of the largest Billboard Hot 100 radio audience records
of the year, was downloaded by more than 1.5 million people, and the
ringtone was purchased by over 3 million. This brings the cumulative total
of ringtones sold by him to over 15 million (excluding collaborations) and
makes him the largest seller of ringtones to date.
The multi-talented rappa-ternt-sanga received the 2008 Grammy for Best
Rap Song for his appearance on Kanye West's "Good Life," and was also
nominated four other times including for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for
"Kiss Kiss" with Chris Brown. T-Pain most recently touched the top of the
charts with Flo-Rida on the ubiquitous number one single, "Low" and
currently has collaborations on the air waves with Mariah Carey and Lil
Wayne on singles from both their respective albums. Billboard magazine
snagged T-Pain for their cover in October of 2007, and other top-selling
publications such as GQ, Vibe, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today have
all written in-depth feature stories about his overwhelming popularity.
T-Pain's longtime rap collaborator, Tay Dizm serves as the first artist
on his newly formed label, Nappy Boy Digital. The Miami-born MC has
appeared on both of T-Pain's full length releases, Rappa Ternt Sanga (2005)
and Epiphany (2007) and toured the globe extensively alongside Pain. Dizm's
debut single, "Beam Me Up," was produced by Atlanta hit-maker Bangladesh
and features T-Pain and heavyweight Florida rapper, Rick Ross. "Beam Me Up"
was made available by Nappy Boy Digital as an iTunes exclusive on May 20,
2008 and will receive a web-wide release at the end of June. "Beam Me Up"
will also impact mainstream urban radio on June 16, 2008.
As the brainchild of one of the most prolific artists of the 21st
Century, T-Pain's Nappy Boy Digital is blazing a fresh trail in online
music distribution. Leading the pack with five BET Award nominations (more
than any other act), T-Pain will continue to be an innovative force in
popular music thanks to the introduction of Nappy Boy Digital and it's
first artist, Tay Dizm.

Kareena has clean bowled Pritam
Kareena Kapoor has just danced with Shahrukh Khan for the second time. It's for Priyadarshan's Billoo Barbar. And its composer Pritam Chakraborty is sure that it will be a smash hit like Kareena's other item song 'Yeh Mera Dil' with Shahrukh in Don. Says Pritam, "The Don song was a re-mix. My item song 'Theek Hai Theek Hai' sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhwinder for Kareena and Shahrukh in Billo Barbar is an absolute original. And if today I'm doing my most creatively satisfying work, I give Kareena a lot of credit for it." What is it about Kareena Kapoor that our new-age composers get inspired by her? Earlier he wasn't supposed to do the music in Golmaal Returns. "But then I heard Kareena is part of the sequel. And I kicked myself, 'Shit I wish I could do it.' To my good fortune Vishal-Shekhar who were supposed to do Golmaal Returns, backed out. I jumped in, rang up Shekhar and asked him, 'Tu nahin kar rahan hai?' When he confirmed they were out, I was over the moon.
