CSNY Documentary Set For Summer Release
Neil Young [ tickets ]'s politically charged documentary film, "CSNY: Deja Vu," is expected to be released July 25 in the US, according to a press release. The documentary was filmed during Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Freedom of Speech 2006" tour of North America.The tour featured music from Young's controversial "Living With War" CD--an album of protest songs written as a rebuke of President George W. Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Songs from the controversial album are woven together on the new film with archival material, news footage, audience reactions and observations of the issues surrounding the integration of politics and art, according to a statement.A distribution deal is in the works that will make the film available on the big screen simultaneously with a video-on-demand release. In addition, Netflix will air the film on the "Watch Instantly" streaming service the same day. The band's label is expected to release a DVD version in the fall--prior to the presidential elections. HDNet is expected to air the film the day the DVD is released.

Patti LaBelle tours ahead of reunion project
Patti LaBelle [ tickets ] has a busy summer ahead of her between a handful North American tour dates and a long-awaited reunion with her R&B trio, LaBelle.The Grammy-winning soul diva currently has more than a dozen shows on the books, taking her from coast to coast and into Canada for a two-night stand in Windsor, Ontario. Her next stop is June 21 in Peekskill, NY. Details are listed below.Meanwhile, LaBelle has been in the studio with her former groupmates, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, working on their first full-length album in more than 33 years. The LaBelle trio enlisted the help of Philadelphia soul pioneers Gable & Huff and funk-rocker Lenny Kravitz to bring a mix of old-school and new-school grooves to the project. The record is expected to hit the streets this fall, according to Patti LaBelle [ tickets ]'s official fan club website.The singer's most recent release is "Miss Patti's Christmas," which surfaced last October. The set mixes soulful versions of traditional holiday songs with a few originals.In 2006, LaBelle put out her first all-gospel offering, "The Gospel According to Patti LaBelle," which reached the Top 20 on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop albums chart. The record features guests including Mary-Mary, Yolanda Adams, CeCe Winans, The Soul Seekers, Jay Moss, Tye Tribett and Wynona Judd. LaBelle has donated all the proceeds from the gospel set to a variety of cancer organizations in honor of her longtime musical director, Budd Ellison, who passed away from prostate cancer before the album was complete, according to her bio.

Indy has Spidey in its sights at box office
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Expectations management goes out the window when a picture is considered a candidate for one of the biggest openings of all time.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" opens across North America at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, and industry observers already are talking about a five-day haul north of $150 million for the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend.
That would put "Skull" on course to surpass the "Spider-Man 3" opening of $151.1 million in May 2007 -- with a big asterisk, given that Spidey reached that level in three days.
"Skull" represents the iconic franchise's first new installment in 19 years. Its three predecessors posted domestic totals running from $209.6 million for franchise fountainhead "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981 to $197.2 million for the second sequel, 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," whose outsized foreign grosses helped "Crusade" outgross "Raiders" on a worldwide basis. The first sequel, 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," fell short of both other Indy flicks both domestically and internationally.
As is the norm with big "tentpole" releases these days, "Skull" will open roughly simultaneously in 61 foreign markets. And though early reviews have been mixed, the frenzy among even the jaded press contingent at Cannes for the film's world premiere Sunday makes it clear that word-of-mouth will be more vital to its theatrical performance than critical reaction.
Suffice it to say, distributor Paramount Pictures has a lot of positive energy going for it as "Skull" looks to write itself into box office record books.
New champ "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" earned $55.03 million domestically last weekend, according to final data issued Monday, and should do at least half that much through Monday. But the one-time notion that "Prince Caspian" would develop into a sequel phenomenon quickly faded. Industry observers had expected an opening in the $80 million range.
After two weekends at No. 1, "Iron Man" still played strongly in its third weekend, grossing $31.84 million to push its domestic total to $223.12 million.

Drea De Matteo - De Matteo Blames Joey For Career Hiatus
Actress DREA DE MATTEO reportedly blames her role in cancelled U.S. sitcom JOEY for ruining her career.
The former The Sopranos star signed up to play Matt Le Blanc's sister on the NBC show, after he continued his famed Friends character for the spin-off following the conclusion of the original hit series in 2004.
But the programme failed to win over Friends fans, and was scrapped by the U.S. network in 2006 after only two series.
And, according to New York gossip column Page Six, De Matteo regrets accepting a part in the doomed series - admitting she has been out of work since the show ended.
A source tells the publication, "She was saying Joey completely ruined her career. She called it horrible and said she hasn't been able to really work since then.
"She said she's really been out of the business and is trying to get back in."

There was no fringing in sight as the stars of country music took to the red carpet, but the night belonged to Nicole Kidman and her fashionably-clad baby bump.
Mrs Keith Urban wore a pale grey empire line dress which proved once and for all that she does indeed have a baby bump.
The pale colour and slicked back hair-do put all the focus firmly on her pregnancy.
Other stars who chose dresses with a distinctly Grecian theme included LeAnn Rimes, who opted for a flowing purple gown with a jewelled bodice, and Taylor Swift, who wore a stunning white halter neck dress.
Rock singer Sara Evans failed to rock in a white mini dress that resembled a tied sack.
Ditto model Karolina Kurkova, who wore a similar design which she managed to salvage with a few funky accessories.
