Breaking Entertainment News: Eddie Murphy OUT – Billy Crystal IN as 2012 OSCAR HOST
The organizers of the Oscars decided yesterday that since Eddie Murhpy dropped out of hosting next year’s awards show, they were bringing back fan favorite Billy Crystal to take over the emcee duties.
It seems interesting timing for Murphy to decide to withdraw with a movie (TOWER HEIST) coming out today in theaters. Murphy, has been headlines for two days and no doubt, this helps the box office returns.

Andy Williams in CANCER BATTLE: Hollywood INSIDER LOOKS BACK AT FIRST MEETING
Good morning NewzBreaker readers and welcome to my new home. I enjoyed writing at Ringside Report, but had to duck and weave to get around those boxers and at my age, that can be tough. NB as those hipsters “Bad” Brad and Geno call it, is the right format for me to share my stories of days gone by in the entertainment world.
Last week crooner and all around nice guy Andy Williams announced he was battling Bladder Cancer which at 83 years old, is no easy feat. Years back, I had my own fight with Cancer and it was a tough uphill battle that gladly I can report, I beat. So I know exactly what Andy is going up against and wish him nothing, but a first round TKO a term I picked up over at RSR against that opponent – Cancer!

The World Without Old Blue Eyes: NewzBreaker Looks Back at Frank Sinatra
“I detest bad manners. If people are polite, I am. They shouldn’t try to get away with not being polite to me.”— Francis Albert Sinatra
Earlier this year, May 14th to be exact, marked the 13th anniversary of the passing of Music Icon Francis Albert Sinatra at the age of 82. As an avid fan who grew up to the sounds and stories of Sinatra from my late Father, Alvin Berkwitt, who collected his albums, worked rooms that he played at the Fountainbleau Hotel on Miami Beach, and watched all of his movies, I didn’t learn to really appreciate what Frank did for the world. It would hit me on my 22nd year on Planet Earth back in 1990, while stationed in Italy, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
NewzBreaker Musical Memories: Real Life: Catch Me I’m Falling (1984)
In 1984, MTV was number one and the synthesizer sound owned the airwaves. A group out of Melbourne, Australia, named “Real Life” had a smash hit with “SEND ME AN ANGEL” and followed up with another hit “CATCH ME I’M FALLING” from the album “HEARTLAND.” The video by today’s standards is quirky, but for the 80’s era it fit in perfectly.
With David Sterry on Lead Vocals and Guitar, you had a fun tune, and in fact, the entire album is a winner. Very rarely do you have an album where a listener enjoys every single track and in my case, I did.
I have corresponded with David on a few occasions via email and he came across as a very nice gentleman who appreciated hearing from fans of Real Life.
NewzBreaker Musical Memories: ? & The Mysterians – 96 Tears (1966)
Earlier today in NewzBreaker Musical Memories we debuted with Keith’s 98.6 and now, we go to another number song that was a massive hit in 1966 by ? & The Mysterians named 96 TEARS. The group was a garage band out of Bay City, Michigan who was led by ? (Rudy Martinez) who wore tight pants and was never seen without his sunglasses whether it was day or night. In 1966, it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and on the RPM 100 in Canada and is ranked #210 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Known for its signature organ licks and bare-bones lyrics, 96 TEARS has been widely-recognized as one of the first garage band hits and has even been given credit for starting the punk rock movement.
I chose a remake they did of their hit in 2008. It is not as strong as the original, but I wanted the RSR readers to get a good look at ? who even today, is ever the performer.
NewzBreaker Musical Memories: Keith – 98.6 (1967)
As a music fan, I always like to listen to those rare treasures from yesteryear. Since music is universal, I thought the NewzBreaker readers would enjoy a column that would find those gems that maybe have not been heard since they first came out or in several years. Since my musical taste goes back to the 1940’s, you will never know what you may get in this column, but we will bring you a video with a few tidbits about the artist or group.
Our first artist is Keith out of Philadelphia, PA singing his 1967 hit, 98.6 which was on an album called AIN’T GONNA LIE. Great vocal and background band which gave listeners a catchy tune. As my Uncle Stan always says, “A good song, is a good song, PERIOD!
I chose to use a video of Keith doing it live from 2008 because he was still in great voice and also appeared with the Tokens.
Music Legend Andy Williams: Health Shocker – THE INSIDE STORY
Legendary crooner and one of America’s favorite entertainers Andy Williams, is in the fight of his life battling Bladder Cancer. The 83 year old was diagnosed last month and has begun to undergo a program of chemotherapy.
A source told the National Inquirer about the singer’s condition: “Andy got the diagnosis of invasive bladder cancer very recently. That means his cancer has invaded the lining of his bladder, but doctors weren’t sure yet whether it had spread to other parts of his body.”

Hollywood LEGEND Doris Day WINS Lifetime Achievement Award from LA Film Critics
With true happiness I report that Hollywood Legend and one of the most gifted female singers of all-time; Doris Day is the proud recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from LA Film Critics. In her 87th year on Planet Earth, she has not been in the limelight much other than her constant support of dogs around the world through her charity.
I have always said she was a extremely underrated actress and to see just two amazing performances amongst many, watch her in the 1955 movie Love Me Or Leave Me opposite leading man James Cagney where she played singer Ruth Etting or in the 1954 movie, Young At Heart, opposite Frank Sinatra.
Legalized Casino Gambling: Coming to Your Back Yard
The war to bring casino gambling to Massachusetts has been decided it seems. The gamblers will get their way and the slots, tables, and sporting events will invade three locations yet to be determined. The neighboring Connecticut has been getting many Massachusetts residents invading due to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, two very popular casinos, and all of that money has been going with them, but that will soon change.
Bingo and the lottery has been a staple in the state and many have been a fan of cash bingo games, turning a buck with their lucky numbers. The love of the game of Bingo has stretched across generations and will not be a stranger to the casinos coming to the state. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods and Las Vegas have all featured Bingo as one of their games included on the roster, and many of the Bingo halls may be out of business when the casinos roll in.
