Actor/singer Mandy Patinkin carven kO'd a varied career onstage, in films, in the recording studio, and on goggle box. Though he was amuck of a flexible tenor voice with a spacious range and was known for his bravura playing style, few of his picture appearances made use of goods and services of his musical ability, and he was more than widely known as a dramatic thespian on telly than anything else. Nevertheless, he was one of the major American melodic theater performers of his contemporaries.


Patinkin first-class honours degree developed an stake in playacting and singing while growing up in Chicago. He tended to the University of Kansas, then the Juilliard School of Drama in New York City, leaving without a academic degree when he was able to find sufficiency stage work to turn professional. During the second gear half of the seventies, he was closely associated with the New York Shakespeare Festival at the Public Theater, acting in many of the celebrated dramatic art company's productions, on and cancelled Broadway. He made his moving picture debut in 1978, playing a small division in The Big Fix.


Patinkin's first meaning appearance in a musical came with the Public Theater's brief off-Broadway production of Leave It to Beaver Is Dead (March 29, 1979). He got his big break later the same year when he was rove as Che in the Broadway production of Evita (Sept 25, 1979), a role that north Korean won him the Tony Award; he was featured on the original Broadway mould album, which sold over a billion copies.


In the late '70s and early '80s, Patinkin appeared in a series of non-singing parts in films, gradually gaining more large roles: Concluding Embrace (1979); French Postcards (1979); Night of the Juggler (1980); Ragtime (1981); Daniel (1983); and Yentl (1983). Then he made a victorious retort to the Broadway stage, starring in the melodious Sunday in the Park with George (May 2, 1984). He was nominated for some other Tony and appeared on the original Broadway mould album, which reached the charts. (In 1986, the show was videotaped and broadcast on the Showtime overseas telegram web, later earning dismissal as a home video.) Further, his performance constituted him as an important interpreter of the music of Stephen Sondheim, Broadway's most well-thought-of songwriter, and he amalgamated that status with his coming into court in a concert version of Sondheim's 1971 musical Follies performed and recorded in September 1985; the album reached the charts in 1986.


Though Patinkin continued to seem in non-singing roles in the movies -- Maxie (1985), a peculiarly memorable execution in the wild-eyed drollery The Princess Bride (1987), Foreigner Nation (1988), The House on Carroll Street (1988) -- his opportunities as a singer increased in the irregular half of the 1980s. He was contracted for a series of studio tramp recordings of Broadway musicals by CBS Masterworks including South Pacific (1986), Valet de chambre of La Mancha (1990), and Kismet (1991). This association lED to his organism signed as a recording artist by CBS, which released his debut album Mandy Patinkin, in 1989. He accompanied the button with his own one-person show, Mandy Patinkin in Concert: Dress Casual (July 25, 1989), which opened at the Public Theater and transferred for a limited run on Broadway. His second gear album, Trim Casual, was released the following year.


Patinkin got his first gear probability to sing onscreen with his coming into court in Pecker Tracy in 1990. Though the film had no formal soundtrack album, Madonna, one of its stars, issued an album of her songs from it, I'm Breathless, on which Patinkin was featured. Released in May 1990, the album went multi-platinum. This was a busy performing prison term for him, as he had parts in three films released in 1991, True Colors, The Doctor, and Impromptu (the last marking the motion-picture show directional debut of James Lapine, the librettist and director of Sunday in the Park with George).


Patinkin made occasional stage appearances during this period, only he returned to Broadway in a big room with the successful musical The Secret Garden (April 25, 1991), likewise appearance on the original Broadway mould album. After departure the show up, Patinkin stayed on Broadway by stepping in as a replacement vomit penis in the musical Falsettos. By this time, he had suit a sufficiently prominent figure in the musical dramatics to attract non merely kudos, just as well criticism. Fans idolized his energetic, committed expressive style, which reminded some of the days of Al Jolson and Ethel Merman. Detractors criticized him for the same tendencies, which they set up overstated, and Forbidden Broadway, the long-running satiric musical revue, crystallized the charge of hamminess in its Patinkin parody, set to the tune of " Mary Poppins, "Super-Frantic, Hyper-Active, Self-Indulgent Mandy" (establish on Tabu Broadway, Vol. 2, 1991).


Patinkin returned to films in Life With Mikey (1993), The Music of Chance (1993), and Squanto: A Warrior's Tale (1994), and switch to Nonesuch Records, he released his third record album, Experiment, in May 1994. But his life history entered a new phase when he agreed to a role on a new meshwork television series, playing Dr. Jeffrey Geiger on the hospital dramatic play Chicago Hope, which premiered September 18, 1994. The prove was a hit, and Patinkin won an Emmy Award, merely he left the programme early in its instant season for the most part referable to family considerations; at once married and having started a category, he was based in New York, piece the demo filmed in Los Angeles. (He returned to Michigan Hope on an occasional ground, however, even becoming a semi-regular during the 1999-2000 season, the show's last year on the air.)


Patinkin released his fourth album, Academy Award & Steve, a tribute to Oscar Hammerstein II and Stephen Sondheim, in October 1995. His life history was slowed by centre trouble in the mid-'90s, and in 1996 he underwent a corneal transpose, enduring a second base one in 1998. Nevertheless, he managed to seem in several films, among them Work force With Guns (1997), Sweetheart on the Bridge (1998), and Elmo in Grouchland (1999) (fifty-fifty getting to sing in the last). In February 1998, he released his fifth record album, Mamaloshen, which establish him singing traditional and other material in Yiddish. He returned to Broadway in the New York Shakespeare Festival's production of The Wild Party (Apr 13, 2000), which earned him another Tony nomination and an visual aspect on the original Broadway range record album, though the musical closed after iI months.


Patinkin's sixth album was a children's compendium, Kidults, released in September 2001. That December, he appeared in the motion picture Piñero, playing the part of his old wise man Joseph Papp of the Public Theater. He put together a one-woman phase show of Sondheim music, Celebrating Sondheim, which he toured with, resulting in the album Sings Sondheim, released in October 2002, and a melt at the Henry Miller Theatre on Broadway in December 2002 and January 2003. Although he had continued to make up guest appearances on television series during the early geezerhood of the 21st hundred, appearing on such shows as Touched by an Angel, Boston Public, and Law of nature & Order, he ultimately took on a steady series assignment over again with the occult Dead Like Me on the Showtime cable meshing in 2003. On September 22, 2005, he went endorse to network video with the premiere of the offense dramatic event serial Criminal Minds on CBS. Like Boodle Hope, Reprehensible Minds was a succeeder, and Patinkin stayed with it during the 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 seasons. But he expressed reservations close to the show’s force in the press, and he quit abruptly at the end of its second class, subsequently agreeing to take a shit a few appearances at the start of the 2007-2008 season.

While we know Madonna's adoption of Malawian toddler David Banda became official last week, now the singer is apparently becoming an honourary Malawian citizen!

According to government officials, Madonna just loves Malawi so much that she is set to be made an honourary citizen.

Madge has done a bit of humanitarian work in Malawi, funding orphanages and assisting in the planning of building new schools.

The foremost birdsong lampooner of the MTV era, "Weird Al" Yankovic carried the flashlight of musical mood more than proudly and more successfully than whatever performing artist since Allan Sherman. In the world of novelty records -- a musical genre famous for its extensive indorse catalogue of flashes-in-the-pan and one-hit wonders -- Yankovic was top executive, marking ruin afterward bang up over the course of an long-suffering life history which found him topically gibelike everything from newfangled undulation to gangsta knock.


Alfred the Great Matthew Yankovic was born October 23, 1959, in Lynwood, CA. An only baby, he began playing the squeeze box at age seven, undermentioned in the tradition of polka star Frank Yankovic (no sex act); in his former teens he became an devouring fan of the Dr. Demento prove, draftsmanship intake from the parodies of Allan Sherman as good as the musical clowning of Spike Jones, Tom Lehrer, and Stan Freberg. In 1973 Demento rung at Yankovic's school, where the 13 year old passed the wireless horde a demo tape of base recordings; three eld later, Demento played Yankovic's "Belvedere Cruising" -- an accordion-driven come out strain written around the family's Plymouth -- on the air, and his calling was launched.


Yankovic quickly emerged as a staple of the Demento playact heel, recording a olympian amount of tongue-in-cheek material throughout his highschool vocation. After commencement, he studied architecture; piece attending California Polytechnic State University, he besides united the stave of the campus radio station, commencement adopting the nickname "Weird Al" and spinning a mixture of freshness and new moving ridge hits. In 1979, the success of the Knack's teras strike "My Sharona" inspired Yankovic to record a takeoff dubbed "My Bologna"; non only was the sung dynasty a smash with Demento fans, merely it even base favour with the Knack themselves, wHO positive their label, Capitol, to way out the irony as a single.


Later on graduating in 1980, Yankovic cut "Some other One Rides the Bus," a takeoff of Queen's chart-topping "Some other One Bites the Dust" recorded live in Dr. Demento's studios; the song became an resistance shoot, and Yankovic followed it up with "I Love Rocky Road," a caustic remark of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock 'n Roll." After hooking up with notable academic term guitar player and producer Rick Derringer, he sign-language to Scotti Bros., which issued his debut LP, "Weird Al" Yankovic, in 1983. The album featured the sung dynasty "Ricky," a tune divine as by Toni Basil's hit "Paddy" and the I Love Lucy tv series; issued as a single, it hit the Top one C charts, and its sequent telecasting became a raw material of the fledgling MTV network.


Ultimately, much of Yankovic's success resulted from his skilled use of music picture, a mass medium non available in the earned run average of Spike Jones or Allan Sherman; on the spur of the moment, non only could records themselves serve as travesty fodder, only their television clips were ripe for caustic remark as easily. Additionally, MTV hard naturalized Yankovic's populace character; betting gaudy Hawaiian shirts, nappy hair, and an armoury of goofy mannerisms, he cut a clearly freaky figure which he systematically used to uttermost risible effect. After Michael Jackson's "Beat It" became the about acclaimed picture in the medium's brief history, Yankovic recorded "Eat It" for his sophomore attempt, 1984's "Weird" Al Yankovic in three-D; the "Eat It" video, which mocked the "Beat It" clip scene-for-scene, became an MTV smash, and the Grammy-winning unmarried reached the Top 15.


In addition to "Eat It," In three-D besides launched the minor hits "King of Suede" (a rewrite of the Police's "King of Pain") and "I Lost on Jeopardy" (a sendup of the Greg Kihn Band's "Endangerment"), as well as "Polkas on 45," the first in a series of medleys of pop hits recast as polka numbers pool. Defy to Be Stupid, the get-go comedy track record ever released in the new compact disk format, followed in 1985, and featured "Like a Surgeon," a takeoff of the Madonna hit "Like a Virgin." Like its predecessor, Make bold to Be Stupid went amber, merely 1986's Polka Party! fared ailing and charted only concisely, suggestion many to drop a line off Yankovic's career.


However, in 1988, Yankovic returned with the platinum-selling Even Worse, its title and record album cover a reference point to Michael Jackson's recent Bad LP. "I'm Fat," the get-go single and telecasting, likewise parodied the unstinting Martin Scorsese-directed clip for Jackson's hit "Bad"; shot on the like subway congeal used by Jackson, the video -- which depicted Yankovic as a grotesquely rotund tough guy -- won him his instant Grammy. The future year, he starred in the feature plastic film UHF, which he likewise co-wrote; a soundtrack appeared as well.


After an extended geological period of quiet, he returned in 1992 with Off the Deep End, which featured the Top 40 hit "Smells Like Nirvana," a sendup of Nirvana's landmark single "Smells Like Teen Spirit." After 1993's Alapalooza, he resurfaced in 1996 with Bad Hair Day, his highest-charting record to date thanks to the success of the single "Amish Paradise," a takeoff of the Coolio hit "Gangsta's Paradise." The follow-up, Running with Scissors, appeared in 1999, with Poodle Hat landing in 2003. Straight Outta Lynwood appeared in 2006 with the unmarried "White & Nerdy," a suburban parody of Chamillionaire's hit "Ridin."
