Lachey To Pick Local ‘Reality’ Choir Posted by Natasha on November 8, 2007 // Category: News // Comments (3)

The Cincinnati Post: NBC has confirmed that Cincinnati’s Nick Lachey will be returning to his hometown to select and direct a 20-member choir that will compete in the network’s “Clash of the Choirs” airing as a holiday special Dec. 17-20. An open casting call for “Nick’s Choir” will be held 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday at Walnut Hills High School, 3250 Victory Parkway. (Note: The location has changed from last week’s initial announcement that tryouts would be held at the School for Creative and Performing Arts.) The reality show will follow five musical celebrities who return to their hometowns to form choirs and help “discover, nurture and direct a dynamic group of musically gifted, yet amateur singers.” The other celebrities in the “choir-off” and their hometowns: R&B singer Patti LaBelle (Philadelphia), pop star Michael Bolton (New Haven, Conn.), country singer Blake Shelton (Oklahoma City) and Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland (Houston). Lachey, the former 98 Degrees member, who grew up in College Hill and graduated from SCPA, will have just a few weeks to mold a choir that will sing traditional gospel and pop songs along with seasonal favorites to compete with the choirs from the other celebrities’ and cities. Each night of the four-week series, viewers will vote to eliminate a choir from the competition. The winning choir gets a charitable prize package donated to the celebrity’s hometown cause. Casting directors say at least the first 300 people will be auditioned at Saturday’s tryout and, perhaps, more. Line numbers will be handed out. Participants should bring an application (available at www.nbc.com) and be prepared to sing one song a cappella. For more information on the open casting call, the public is invited to contact Marc Levine at (818) 235-8407. An NBC spokeswoman said Lachey will not attend this week’s open casting, but he will be in for a follow-up audition expected to be held here in another week to 10 days. It’s expected that about 40 choir wannabes will be selected from Saturday’s tryout, with 20 members to make the final choir.

Brooke Full of Surprises Posted by Natasha on // Category: News // Comments (0)

PhillyBurbs / The Montclair Times: Jonatha Brooke believes in getting in touch her masculine side — at least that’s the case with her new CD, “Careful What You Wish For.” “There’s some irreverence on it,” Brooke says. “There’s a very different persona that I explore. There’s this side – a cocky, rocky, almost-like-a-boy personality.” Brooke, who brings her show to Outpost in the Burbs on Nov. 9, had some help finding the rugged side within. Along with the talent of legendary rock producer Bob Clearmountain (Bryan Adams; INXS), the album features contributions from Nick Lachey (98 Degrees) and J. C. Chasez (*NSYNC), as well as four tunes co-written with Hooters frontman Eric Bazilian. “I think people got some bug up their nose about the fact that Nick Lachey and J.C. Chasez are mentioned in the credits. I think the second that they saw those names there, some people just lashed out at me and called me a sell-out and that’s crazy. Like it or not, I had a blast working with those guys, so just back off and listen to the record. It’s really fun,” says Brooke. She couldn’t have been more surprised herself, however, when she got that call from Jive Records A&R rep Teresa LaBarbera Whites asking if she would write some songs for Lachey and Chasez. “I just thought, “Why not? This could be really fun. It doesn’t cost anything, she’ll pay my expenses and I might get some great songs out of this,’ ” says the multi-instrumentalist, who plays acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, piano, mellotron, Wurlitzer organ and percussion on “Careful What You Wish For.” “What worked in the case of Nick, it was so easy to sort of feel what might be going on for him. It was really a tough time for him. He was going through all this tabloid crap and supposedly breaking up with Jessica (Simpson). So Eric and I met him and came into the sessions with really big pieces of the songs. We were trying to write from what it was like being in his shoes right then and it was powerful.” Lachey ended up covering one of her older songs, “Because I Told You So,” for his solo debut “What’s Left of Me,” while Brooke saved “Keep the River on Your Right,” a song Lachey helped pen, for her own album. Chasez contributed lyrically to the disc’s first two tracks, including the title cut, to which he also lends his vocals. “That guy sings circles around the room. He is insanely talented. I’ve never worked with anyone like that before,” says Brooke. “He could do anything. He’s such a fearless singer.” Though the album straddles the line between lustrous pop melodies and sardonic rock, Brooke remains, as always, a storyteller and keen observer. As the title might suggest, “Careful What You Wish For” turns a wry eye to the clichd world of celebrity, where fame and beauty often mask deep insecurities and heartache.

Nick & Vanessa: “Happy Birthday to Us!” Posted by Natasha on // Category: News // Comments (2)

Ok! Magazine: For adorable twosome Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, Nov. 9 is a doubly big day, as it’s not just his birthday, but hers too! “I like to think I’m a gentleman about it and try to think of her,” Nick, who’ll be celebrating birthday #34, tells OK! about his feelings on sharing his special day. “It’s her day as much as mine.” To get a head start on the birthday bash, NickNessa jetted off with some friends for a whirlwind weekend of “great weather and dinners” at the El San Juan Hotel & Casino in Puerto Rico, which is where OK! had the chance to chat with them. In terms of his birthday wish-list, Nick’s desires are pretty down-to-earth, saying he hopes his brother, Drew, will get him a leaf blower while Vanessa is on her own to figure out what the singer wants. As for what the singer will surprise his girlfriend of a year and a half with, Nick will only say, “I already have it and actually asked if she wanted it tonight, but she said, ‘No, I want to wait.’ ” Looking at his plans for the year ahead, it will certainly be a busy one for Nick. “I’m in the studio trying to wrap up my album,” he said at the El Canto Beach Club presented by NYC club Tenjune. “I also have some TV projects that I am producing. I am excited about that and trying to branch out.” The first single off Nick’s upcoming CD will be released in early 2008 and he already has 30 demos that need to be cut down for the final list of songs. “The last album was very specific to the time in my life,” Nick explains. “This one is much more broad, and it is not about one specific moment in my life.” Maybe he can sing about how great his birthday celebration was!
