Singer Priscilla Ahn was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania. She grew up singing in her school and church choirs, and later in coffee shops, bars, and music clubs around Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York City. After deciding to move out to the West coast Priscilla began establishing herself on the Los Angeles music scene, and became a fixture at LA’s Hotel Café.
In 2006, Priscilla recorded and released a self-titled EP which began to win her fans such as influential deejay Nic Harcourt of LA’s KCRW. Priscilla Ahn featured her own original songs including “Rain” and “Dream,” the latter of which appeared in the DreamWorks film Disturbia. In 2007, Priscilla was signed by Blue Note Records and began recording her major label debut with producer Joey Waronker.
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn’s Blue Note Records debut, A Good Day, is a collection of 11 gorgeous folk-pop songs with nuances that reward upon each listen. PASTE magazine called A Good Day “a classic folk album for the iPod generation,” while FILTER wrote that “Ahn’s vocals settle upon the ears with the grace of a morning light coming through your blinds.” Priscilla Ahn will perform “Dream” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on June 11th.
Pick up “Good Day” on 
or at Amazon.

13 year old Sameer Mishra had a funny moment at the 2008 Spelling Bee. When he first heard the word he was to spell, he heard “Numb Nut”. (we did too!!) The expression on his face when he realizes the word he’s supposed to spell is priceless.
“Oh, NUMNAH!”

Zhang Ziyi and Hugh Grant will star in “Lost for Words,” a romantic comedy. In the film, Hugh Grant will play a British movie star approached by Chinese director Zhang Ziyi to be in her film. Grant falls for the charms of the Zhang’s flirtatious translator, but soon sees the object of his true affection is the Zhang. Unfortunately, the translator is the only person who can communicate his feelings, and she has her own motives. The film is scheduled to start shooting in September in London and possibly China. This is definitely an interesting pairing for a movie. We think Zhang ZiYi can pull this off. Before filming begins, Zhang Ziyi is still helping with China Quake victims.

National Geographic has in a interesting video about exorcism In India.
Down a dim corridor…in a tiny, locked room…out of bounds to all but a tormented few, is the cave of spirits…a home for the dead and last hope for the possessed.
