Peggy McCay, Beloved Days of Our Lives Matriarch, Dead at 90


Emmy-winning actress Peggy McCay, who portrayed Caroline Brady on Days of Our Lives for more than three decades, died Sunday from natural causes. She was 90.
McCay's longtime co-star, Deidre Hall, confirmed the news Tuesday on Facebook. "Our dearest Peggy McCay has left us," Hall wrote. "She was a friend, an activist and a real scrapper! I remember meeting her at the bedside of a dear, very ill friend. I backed her up as she ferociously took on doctors and nurses to make sure he had the very best care. She fought that hard for all her causes. Passionate and tireless. And how she loved being Caroline!"
In a twist of fate, McCay's passing comes just weeks after the death of her longtime Days leading man Frank Parker.
McCay received five Daytime Emmy nominations for her work as Days' Caroline. She won a primetime Emmy in 1991 for her guest work on CBS' The Trials of Rosie O'Neill. Additional credits include General Hospital, Gunsmoke and Lou Grant.
Days vet Stephen Nichols, who played McCay's onscreen son-in-law Patch, paid tribute to his co-star on Instagram. "The last time I saw you, you talked about how eager you were to get back to work," he wrote. "You said it with such conviction and longing. Don't worry, you gave the world plenty. Gave your audiences inspired performances and your fellow actors your strength and inspiration and absolute love of the work. I will miss you sweet, Peggy. I am so grateful for the time I had with you .Sending love to your loved ones. Rest In Peace."

NBC Competition Reality Show Songland Features Aspiring Songwriters

by
And still, another competition reality will soon make a bow on network television (NBC). Songland is produced by and stars Adam Levine and Dave Stewart. The Voice producer Audrey Morrissey is also involved. It appears that the pilot has been filmed, but no airdate has been announced yet.  Check out NBC's official announcement below.
Aiming to find the next generation of hit songwriters, NBC and Universal Television Alternative Studio are bringing powerhouse producer Audrey Morrissey of The Voice, Eurythmics co-founder and producer Dave Stewart, Maroon 5 member and The Voice coach Adam Levine and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder together to produce Songland. The series will provide a one-of-a-kind opportunity for talented up-and-coming songwriters to be exposed to and mentored by three music producers per episode who are responsible for today's biggest hits.
The 11-episode original competition series creates a unique platform for new voices to be heard.
The first edge-of-your-seat episode features three-time Grammy nominee and Billboard chart topper and songwriter Charlie Puth as the mega-recording artist along with a panel of producer-songwriters that includes Grammy winner Tedder, singer and Grammy-nominated songwriter Ester Dean and Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Shane McAnally.
"Songwriters, whether you are aware of it or not, compose the theme songs to our lives. A song can be the pillar on which our dreams are made of or the shoulder on which we cry," said Stewart. "I've been writing songs with and for other people for 40 years and it's always a thrill to hear those songs interpreted and recorded by all kinds of artists. I'm excited for the viewers to see and hear that magic being created between unknown songwriters and our panel of hit-making mentors."
"'Songland' has been an ongoing passion project for both myself as well as my team at 222," said Levine. "As a songwriter, I am all too familiar with the challenges that face the music community today. With this new series, we are excited to provide opportunities that will not only impact these songwriters' careers but also give them a platform to truly showcase their talent to a global audience."
The series takes an inside look at the creative process and provides one talented winner per episode the priceless opportunity to have their song recorded for a global audience by the chart-topping artists featured in their show.
In each episode five songwriters will perform their original tracks in front of three top music producers and a major recording artist on an intimate soundstage. Each song's lyrics, arrangements, beats, melody and story will be considered by the panel as producers engage in a lively discussion about ways to creatively adapt them to better fit the style and sensibility of the recording artist of the week.
After the performances, the mega-recording artist will choose three songwriters to move forward to the studio and pair them each with the producer best suited to perfect their song. In the studio, the songs will take shape in unexpected ways as the songwriter and producer duos work together to win over the recording artist. In the end, a winner will be chosen and their song will be recorded and released as the top artist's next single.
"Songland" is a show that gives songwriters the opportunity to showcase their talents regardless of where they come from or what their day job might be. The series is looking for submissions from people of all walks of life from up-and-coming songwriters and music students, to stay at home moms, bartenders and school teachers. For those interested in appearing on "Songland," please go to https://www.songlandcasting.com/coming-soon.php.
Songland will be executive produced by Stewart, Morrissey, Levine and director Ivan Dudynsky. Josh Gummersall will serve as producer along with Ryan Tedder who is represented by Ron Laffitte, Dana Salant for Patriot Management. The concept was devised by Stewart, Morrissey and Dudynsky.

[Reality-TV-Fanatics] 2018 American Music Awards Complete Winners List

 

Looks like it was a Taylor Swift night

2018 American Music Awards Complete Winners List

10/09/2018 by
Hosted by Blackish star Tracee Ellis Ross, the 2018 American Music Awards will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 9 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.
Performers include Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Camila Cabello, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and more. Also there will be a tribute to the late Aretha Franklin. And Panic at the Disco will perform a tribute to Queen.
We'll be tracking the winners and performances here.
Taylor Swift kicks off the show. She's been in the news lately–finally showing her political hand, supporting the democratic nominees in Tennessee. The internets lost it. She opens the show with 'I Did Something Bad." Fitting. "They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one…lock me up."  She still can't sing live, though. But there's a Cobra!
Tracee Ellis Ross kicks off the show with a bit, performing her way through a bunch of popular songs. She dances. Nope. Not a singer like mama.  This is kind of pointless.
Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha present Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist to Cardi B. She was just arrested, for something. Oh. A strip club fight! Her outfit is very…colorful.
Gosh. Tracee. These "mom" jokes you're telling. The kids are impressed, I'm sure.
Amber Heard it next to introduce Twenty-One Pilots "exactly how many TV shows I've been on that weren't picked up." The band is here to perform "Jumpsuit" in a cloud of smoke and yellow lights.  OHH FLAMING CAR. And confetti. Fin.
MaCaulay Culkin BLAST FROM THE PAST is here to present Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist to Post Malone. Ew. His facial tattoos. NO.
Heidi Klum is next. She presents Tour of the Year to….you guessed it…Taylor Swift. She's sitting right next to Camila Cabello! YAY. She thanks her tourmates Charli XcX and Camila..
Chloe and Halle are next. What's up with the caftans? They are here to introduce the LEGENDARY Mariah Carey. She's singing her new single "With You." This song does not require range or vocal gymnastics, which is a very good thing. Pretty boring song, though.
Shawn Mendes and Zedd are next to perform "Lost in Japan."  Kinda like this song. Very dreamy.
Next Ella Mai performs her song "Boo'd Up." She's singing just under pitch, at first.
Busy Phillips and John Stamos are on stage. Busy confesses that she had a big crush on John when she was a kid. They present Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist to Khalid.
Now, Tracee is onstage wearing a "I'm a Voter" T shirt. She introduces Cardi B who became the first female rapper with 3 Hot 100 No 1s. She is joined by J Balvin and Bad Bunny to perform the Latin flavored "I Like It."  Oh that big colorful dress had a point. This performance is a total party.
Next, it's Ashley and Evan. Evan is Tracee's brother. Favorite Pop/Rock Song is presented to Camila Cabello and Young Thug for "Havana." It's her first AMA as a solo artist.
Sara Gilbert and Thomas Rhett present Favorite Female Artist/Country to….Carrie Underwood! YAY.  She's SUPER pregnant, and needs some help up the stairs to the stage.
Normani and some Youtube person introduce Vinnie Blanca, Halsey and Khalid, who perform their hit "Eastside." They perform on a set dressed up like a funky apartment. The walls come up and the stage opens up. That was kind of cool.
Kathryn Hahn and Billy Eichner (celebrating his 40th birthday) present Adult Contemporary Artist to Shawn Mendes. But first, Billy URGES people to VOTE VOTE VOTE. He gets real political here.
Constance Wu and Rita Ora take the stage to present Favorite Pop/Rock Group or Duo to Migos.
The Chainsmokers and Kelsea Ballerini introduce Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign perform a medley of "Psycho" and "Better Now"
An ad for the new Youtube app bleeds into Dua Lipa's AMAs performance.  I almost blasted right past that! She's performing "One Kiss," a song she recorded with Calvin Harris. OHHH. BLACK LIGHTS. Freaky.  But I like this a lot.  Very upbeat and catchy.
Tracee is now dressed in leopard print from head to toe. OK then.
Vanessa Hudgens is on stage to introduce Jennifer Lopez to perform the Second Act anthem "Limitless." Fun fact. Besides starring in the movie Second Act together, they both judged summer dance shows, SYTYCD and World of Dance respectively! The wind machine is getting a workout in this number..
Tracee is out in the audience chatting with Jennifer's boyfriend Alex Rodriguez. Tracee wants to know his secrets to beautiful skin.
Lauren Daigle and Kane Brown present Favorite Soul/R&B album to the late XXXTentacion. His mother accepts the award on his behalf. Sad. He was murdered in the streets. A very violent way to go.
Camila Cabello ALSO part of a Youtube App ad that bleeds into a performance. She performs an pretty performance of  "Consequences." She's backed by a string orchestra. Her dress is beautiful–pink and black satin and tulle.  Taylor is looking on, proud.
Amandla Stenberg star of The Hate U Give movie presents Favorite Pop/Rock Album to Taylor Swift for Reputation. Taran Killam and Leighton Meester present Favorite Male Artist/Country to Kane Brown. It's his first AMA.
Ciara and Missy Elliott are next, performing the viral hit "Level Up."  The exercise tune of the year. Not an accident, I'm sure.
Tyra Banks is next to present New Artist of the Year presented by Capital One Saver Card!!!! And the award goes to Camila Cabello!  She didn't thank Simon Cowell.
Next, it's Carrie Underwood performing the poignant "Spinning Bottles" from her new album Cry Pretty. This is so emotional.  Wow. One of the best performances of the night. Blame the hormones.
Rami Malek, Joseph Mazzello and Gwilym Lee, the stars of the new Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, introduce Panic at the Disco performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" from a stage in Australia. Guess they are on tour. This is a notoriously hard song to sing. Brendon Urie has the showman ship, if not the vocal chops.  Pretty entertaining, though.
Lenny Kravitz is next and presents Artist of the Year to….Tay Tay of course! Taylor Swift.
And the night ends with a tribute to the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin featuring Gladys Knight and a slew of gospel stars, including, Cee Cee Winans, Mary Mary, Ledisi, and Donnie MccLurkin. It starts off with Gladys singing "Amazing Grace," one of Aretha's signature gospel tunes, followed by more gospel greats.  It's a rollicking and joyful way to end the show.
