BAFTAS was shining than ever with many awards
By GalaTView staff
It’s always nice to see awards being spread across more than one film. Gravity is a fine film (stunning in 3D), and the obvious choice for technical awards and Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron was named best director and Chiwetel Ejiofor won best actor for 12 Years a Slave won the coveted best film honour. British star Chiwetel Ejiofor collected the best actor Bafta for his role as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave. Cate Blanchett was named best actress for Blue Jasmine.
BAFTAS over all are ok, but should be a little more humble in times of austerity and some people were seriously impressed since the last year with this important event.

By GalaTView staff
After completing college J.D. is starting off on television and seems to be humble. John David Washington wants to follow in his parents footsteps that’s fine as long as he has the talent and that is the case when the eldest of Denzel Washington’s four children.
He will be a great actor as well but, it has to start somewhere, and this is a good chance to prove himself. Now his first major role in the HBO series “Ballers.” The half-hour dramedy, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (it’s his first big TV project, too), centers on the happenings of retired athletes living in Miami, and he’ll play Ricky, a competitive and highly spiritual jock. Class act all the way with these great actors. We will see if he continues in this business or could be an unforgettable for his lack of talent.

Motley Crue's Final Tour Sells Out Nine Shows
By GalaTView staff
Just days after tickets for iconic rock ‘n’ roll band MOTLEY CRUE’s The Final Tour went on sale, eight shows have sold out. The band has also added a Nov. 8 date at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich. due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the Joe Louis Arena show will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 15 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The sold out shows are:
Aug. 9 – Clarkston, MI (DTE Energy Music Theatre)
Aug. 10 – Toronto, ON (Molson Canadian Amp)
Oct. 7 – Hollywood, FL (Hard Rock Live)
Oct. 25 – Atlantic City, NJ (Borgata Events Center)
Oct. 26 – Uncasville, CT (Mohegan Sun Arena)
Nov. 15 – St. Paul, MN (XCEL Energy Center)
Nov. 16 – Fargo, ND (FargoDome)
Nov. 18 – Edmonton, AB (Rexall Place)
Nov. 19 – Calgary, AB (Scotiabank Saddledome)
MOTLEY CRUE announced The Final Tour and the band’s ultimate retirement, solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles on Jan. 28. Celebrating the announcement of The Final Tour, the band performed on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” later that night and appeared on “CBS This Morning” on Jan. 29.
With over 80 million albums sold, MOTLEY CRUE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MOTLEY CRUE branded items, sold in over 30 countries. MOTLEY CRUE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart-topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. “When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope and that’s part of Motley Crue’s legacy,” explains Nikki Sixx (bass). “As far as letting on to what we’re doing, that would be like finding out what you’re getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we’d like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour.”
MOTLEY CRUE tours are not only box office successes but artistically have set the bar for production and entertainment value. “There’s no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock ‘n’ roll,” but behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard-working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue.”
Fans can look forward to very special guest ALICE COOPER joining MOTLEY CRUE for an incredible package; Alice invented the rock ‘n’ roll genre and MOTLEY CRUE put steroids in it! “Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days,” said Alice. “Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that’s to blow the audience away. That’s exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We’re going to go out there and tear it up, and I can’t wait to see Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper—a match made in…Armageddon?”
The band will not tour after this final tour. Band attorney Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law explains: “Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement.” Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy two-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains: “Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big f***king bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with one or two original band members! Our job here is done!!!” Of the band’s tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds: “(It has been) more drama than ‘General Hospital;’ it keeps ’em watchin’ and they keep comin’ back.” Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour: “I’ll miss playing with the guys, but I won’t quit playing rock ‘n’ roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Motley.”

Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L Jackson are not making a big deal out it
By GalaTView staff
Samuel L Jackson put LaurenceFishburne in his place, and rightfully so. The KTLA anchor should’ve known his facts before blurting that out. Confusing two actors who look nothing alike aside from their race makes race absolutely relevant thus Samuel’s response. Even we know everyone makes mistakes, but that was kind of a big flub up. This happened when this famous actor was promoting his new film, Robocop, replied, “What Super Bowl commercial? You’re as crazy as the people on Twitter. I’m not Laurence Fishburne!”
Remembering wonderful years of The Beatles

It was fifty years ago when the four lads from Liverpool, England, peacefully invaded the American shores and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, one of the most popular television shows of that era. Ed Sullivan was 62-year-old at the time, and he welcomed them very friendly in a charismatic short interview.
