‘CSI’s’ Robert David Hall talks about his music career

By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith

HollywoodNews.com: “CSI” coroner Robert David Hall is having a high-flying time of it this summer — in his other career, as a music man. His “Things They Don’t Teach You in School” album, a folksy, rootsy, Americana-style collection of songs he wrote himself and recorded in Austin, TX, is getting a reception Hall admits exceeds his hopes. He slipped Craig Ferguson a copy, then Ferguson invited Hall to perform on his “Late Late Show.” Come June 19, he’ll be at Nasvhille’s legendary Ryman Auditiorium as part of the lineup for the Grand Ole Opry 85th Anniversary celebration’s “I’m With the Band” series.

“This is sort of a Warp 10 for me. I’m not scared. I am thrilled. I know it’s going to go well, but I don’t want to think about it too much because it’s almost overwhelming. I lived in Virginia for awhile, growing up, and I listened to the Opry. So many wonderful musicians have played there you can’t name them all. Anyone who is anyone in country music. It’s the highest honor,” he gushes.

Halle Berry

2008's Sexiest Woman Alive was born in Cleveland, Ohio on August 14, 1968.

Halle Berry's introduction to show business was as a winner of the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, which led to a career in modeling.

A TV acting career soon followed including appearances inLiving Dolls, and Knots Landing before her debut film role in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever in 1991.

Berry next appeared in a series of films to mixed reviews including Boomerang opposite Eddie Murphy, and Losing Isaiah with Jessica Lange. More favorable reviews came with her appearances in Warren Beatty's Bullworth and in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge for which she won a Golden Globe award.

Her role as Storm in The X-Men, however, ultimately put Berry on the map - which was soon followed by an appearance opposite John Travolta in Swordfish, a major disaster.

Then came Berry's most critically acclaimed work to date, as she appeared in Monster's Ballopposite Billy Bob Thornton and Sean Combs, for which she became the first African-American woman ever to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

Berry's other notable performances have since included a hot & sexy star turn in Die Another Day as well as a reprise of her role in the encore box office hit, X2- X-Men United.

Berry's universally panned appearance in Catwoman resulted in a Worst Actress award at the the 2005 Razzie Awards following that with a critically acclaimed starring role on the small screen in ABC Television's Their Eyes Were Watching God.

"Nappily Ever After"...

Berry reprised her role as Storm in X-Men 3 (opposite Hugh Jackman as Wolverine) in 2006 and the following year appeared in the thriller "Perfect Stranger," opposite Bruce Willis playing a news reporter caught up in a murder investigation.

Always the risk taker, the brunette beauty has announced that she is about to go bald for a 2010 movie plot tentatively titled "Nappily Ever After."

Off screen, the 41-year-old Berry was reportedly "beyond excited" about expecting her first baby with boyfriend, male supermodel Gabriel Aubry in 2007. The actress later gave birth to a baby girl, her first child, born in Los Angeles on March 16, 2008.

Several months later, she was named Esquire Magazine's "Sexiest Woman Alive", and is next slated to star as a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder in the Hollywood drama, Frankie and Alice.

Twosome:Shoaib And EshaE-mail
Written by aitizaz

esha_shoaibthumb_lollybollyRenowned Shoaib Akhtar is busy showing his dancing skills rather than cricketing skills in B-Town these days. History has proved time and time again that cricket and film industry go hand in hand.

Shoaib Akhtar was approached by Bollywood and he would soon be seen on the Big Screen. Shoaib was recently called in on Zee TV's Ek Se Badkhar Ek for a special performance with Esha Deol. No they are not going out or maybe. Isn't the pairing a bit too odd???

Adnan Siddiqui is one of the privileged actors to have worked with Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart along with Sajid Hasan and Irfan Khan. A Mighty Heart was based on the true life story of Daniel Pearl who got murdered in Pakistan. Adnan played an integral role in the movie.
