On Thursday, May 26, 2011 DreamWorks Pictures and Geffen Records announced today that multiple GrammyÂŽ Awardâwinning recording artist Mary J. Blige wrote and recorded an original song for the soundtrack of DreamWorks Pictures and Participant Mediaâs THE HELP, a film based on the New York Times best-selling novel of the same name, opening in theaters August 12, 2011. âThe Helpâ soundtrack – music from the Motion picture, will feature the original song from Mary J Blige âThe Living Proof.â  The soundtrack, from Interscope Records, will be available Tuesday, July 26 at select Starbucks locations.
The song, âThe Living Proof,â was written and recorded by Blige especially for THE HELP after she saw a screening of the film, which takes place in 1960s-era Mississippi and chronicles the journey of three very different women who come together and embark on a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. âThe beautiful thing about these women is that they were very smart,â says Blige. âThey chose to walk in love and forgiveness.â  The film really celebrates the courage to inspire change, âTo speak to so many women with this song means a lot to meâ says Blige. âI wanted to be involved with this film, because I think we need to encourage each other more, we are here to tell a story.â Blige has received 9 GrammyÂŽ Awards and four American Music Awards as well as recorded eight multi-platinum albums. Mary J. Blige has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and her next album “My Life Too….The Journey Continues” will be released Sept 20, 2011.

Blige has received the World Music Legends Award for combining hip hop and soul in the early 1990s. She was ranked number 100 in the list of 100 greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. In November 2010, Billboard Magazine ranked Blige as the most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years, she ranked second, placing her ahead of Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston.
Blige started her musical career in 1992, releasing her multi-platinum US selling debut album,What’s the 411? on MCA Records and Uptown. What’s the 411? gave Blige her first Billboard 200 top ten album, which has continued since the release of her debut album until her latest album, Stronger with Each Tear (2009), which became Blige’s seventh consecutive album to debut at number one or number two on the Billboard 200. As of 2010, Blige has sold over 50 million albums and 15 million singles.[1][2]
About The Help Movie: Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon,  âThe Helpâ stars Emma Stone (âEasy Aâ) as Skeeter, Academy AwardÂŽânominated Viola Davis (âDoubtâ) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minnyâthree very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s,  who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossedâeven if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, âThe Helpâ is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.  From DreamWorks Pictures and Participant Media, âThe Helpâ is directed by Tate Taylor and produced by Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan, based on the novel by Kathryn Stockett, with screenplay by Tate Taylor. âThe Helpâ releases in theaters August 12, 2011.

Actress, Singer and Songwriter FAWN Interviewed By The Eerie Digest Magazine
April 1, 2011 by News Staff
Filed under Entertainment, Featured
On April 1, 2011 The Eerie Digest Magazine owned by publisher and writer Mr. Joseph OâDonnell and our media partner interviewed our mutual friend Actress, Singer and Songwriter FAWN.
Fawn was asked about her music career, film, tv credits, nominations, awards and charity involvement.

Please read some of the interesting questions and responses:
ED- The Eerie Digest is really proud to introduce someone that has been a major part of many of the favorite television shows and films today. Singer / Songwriter / Recording Artist and Composer Fawn has created, written and sung many of the songs heard on popular television shows that we watch daily. She also is a well noted singer and has won some of the most prestigious awards. Fawn, please tell our readers about your early days in music and your greatest influence towards this profession.
FAWN-The earliest connection I had to music was when I was still in diapers, and not yet walking. My parents have video footage of me pulling myself up in the crib, bouncing up and down to music, until my diapers fall down around my ankles! My earliest recollection however, was when I was 7, singing in the famed Childrenâs Chorale directed by Duane Wolfe. Surely, that was a huge influence on me as well as other recording artists towards this profession. I would sit for hours with my heard phones on, listening to records, over and over, each time listening to a different instrumental line in the song and memorizing it. At the time, I didnât realize that by listening to incredible songwriters, I was being taught prosody, commercial melody, lyrics, structure. Writers such as Gershwin, Sly Stone, John Denver, John Bettis, Queen, Pink Floyd, Sting, Michael Jackson, Paul Williams, Eminem, Marty Panzer, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Mercer, Dolly Parton, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Madonna, Barry Manilow, Diane Warren, The Carpenters, James Taylor, Dan Foelberg, India Arie, Cat Stevens, Billy Joel, Carole King, The Beatles â were influencing and shaping my composing and lyrical skills. It felt like music was seeping out of my pores, so it had to go somewhere â into my piano, into my voice, into writing songs, into doing commercials. I started singing radio jingles at age 10 and I think that the catchy jingle melodies also had an influence on making me a very commercial writer.
ED- In 2010 your work appeared in âThe Click List: Top 10 Videosâ. Tell us about this and how it compared with your earlier work.
FAWN- Itâs difficult to compare this because it had nothing to do with composing or writing songs for Film and Television, this was for mainstream dance/pop music. The Click list aired my music video for my hit dance song âWish U Loveâ, produced by Chad Jack and Tim Letteer, and the music video was Directed by Stephen Wozniak. The song ultimately made it to #6 on the Billboard Dance Charts and the music video stayed in the top 10 for 5 months on MTVâs LOGO Channel, The Click List. It was a wonderful surprise.
ED- During this same period (2008-2011) you also worked with the popular television show âThe Young and the Restlessâ. Please describe your work on this production.
FAWN- The songs Iâve written for Young and The Restless have ranged from Pop songs, ala Katy Perry in French to Dance songs, to piano based compositions, to Standard Christmas songs, to Jazz songs, to Halloween songs, to acoustic songs, to rap songs, to hip hop, to broadway, to childrenâs songs. As a songwriter and vocalist, I have an expansive range of styles Iâve written and performed in. I also sing in almost every language. There is one specific memory I have where there was an âemergencyâ- the deadline was just one hour. I had to write, sing and record the song in FrenchâŚluckily I had a brilliant arranger and producer to work with to make that deadline happen, Danny James. He sent me a 10 second loop, which I looped into 1 minute and while I was recording my vocals, he was working on the arrangement and production end, I sang the song in one take, flew the vocals over to him, he mixed it and violaâ! There was the song! You can hear this song on youtube/FawnTv, itâs called âFrench Kiss.â I think I thrive under this kind of pressure. Some writers donât do so well with that, but I tend to blossom and revel in it, because I am extremely competitive, even with myself and it challenges me on every level.
ED-You have also won many coveted awards. Please tell our readers about these and the sense of accomplishment that you felt in receiving them.
FAWN- The fist award I ever won was for saving a Junior High School from a fire when I was 13 and another award at that age for philanthropic work, but as far as my music goes, the first award I ever won was when I was 16 for The Elovox Jazz Festival for my A Cappella, 12 voiced vocal rendition of âHere, There and Everywhereâ by the Beatles. Shortly after that I won the top songwriting awards 3 years in a row at Berklee College Of Music for my songs âLivinâ With Out Your Love,â âJust Look At Us Now,â and âPlayinâ The Fool.â Those will always be precious and dear memories to me, being noticed in the infantry of my music career. I have won a few songwriting awards over the years, one of which was the VH-1 song of the year for my song âInto The Lightâ with music co-written and produced by Lasswell. In 2009 I won the JPF Music Awards for Best Dance Song for of the Year â âWish u Love,â the JPF Music Award for Best Dance Album of the year â âBody, Soul and Mind,â and was nominated for the Hollywood Music In Media Award in 2010 â âWish U Loveâ and the Wake Up Award for 2010, which is for people who make a difference in this world. This is all I can think of, off the top of my head. I am always completely surprised just being recognized with any kind of nomination, and winningâŚwell forget about it! Iâm a mushy mess of gratitude! I do my music because it chose me, I didnât chose it, so it is always a blessing to be recognized that you are touching people in some way and making a difference in the world through the gift of music.
ED- In 2009 you won the JPF music awards for âWish U Loveâ â âBest Dance Songâ and âBody Soul and Mindâ â âBest Dance Albumâ for your album. You were also second only to Madonna in sales for the Masterbeat exclusive releases for âWish U Loveâ for 2 months running and you have produced several albums and singles and are working on some new material as well. Please tell us about these accomplishments and new developments.
FAWN-The JPF Music awards were held in Nashville, TN. and it was my first time ever being there, so just traveling and seeing the city was exciting enough! I remember when my name was called at the awards show â I couldnât believe it! I think that the laughter and clapping in the audience was due to the funny, shocked look on my face when my jaw dropped down to the floor in surprise. As I was leaving the stage with my award, they were announcing the other category. The photographer was taking photos of me with my award when some one came running over to the red carpet where we were and yelled, âFawn! You won again!â So I went back out there onstage, still a ball of nerves and excitement with tears streaming down my face from the first win. It was surreal. As for the success of âWish U Loveâ it has been a dream come true. To be second to Madonna in sales was mind blowing. It was also another pleasant surprise to be just underneath Lady Ga Ga on the Billboard Charts. I was overwhelmed by the incredible talent surrounding my music and was also in awe of it. As for new developments, I am currently writing and recording some Christmas songs for a Movie Of The Week, after that I will start recording a Dance Remake of an old song for Hades Records and will be finishing up my 2 new albums â An Electro Dance Album and a Piano Compositions Album. Both will be available this year.
ED- Your work has also raised over five million dollars for people with HIV/ AIDS. This was a most worthy cause, and we know that you are a star in every right for all the fine work that you have created. We have been honored to be able to have this interview with you and want to thank you for your time with us. Please promise that you keep us updated with your career so that The Eerie Digest can share this news with our legions of readers.
FAWN â Well thank you. I think that we are all stars in our own right. I used to have this saying on my wall growing up, and I memorized it: âTo be a star, you must shine your own light and do not be afraid of the darkness, for that is when stars shine their brightest.â We each need to be who we are born to be and be a LIGHT in the world. The song for HIV/AIDS was my first ârealâ song for the masses. Everything was donated on that song, and that was long before I knew any one with HIV/AIDS. I was a teenager when I wrote, sang and then recorded it with BT. The reason I wanted to do this song, was to give back to the world. I think we are only as good as what we give away. Thank you so much for asking me to be part of your magazine. I am honored and yes, I promise to keep you posted on my life, just for the Fawn of it! Ha Ha.

We do not report gossips but this one, it got our attention because Brown have been in a lot of trouble and he got very violet at the Good Morning America studios in New York.
TMZ.com reported on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 that exploded in rage behind the scenes at “Good Morning America” this morning … smashing a window and storming out without a shirt … sources tell TMZ … and it was triggered by on-air questions about the Rihanna incident.
TMZ continue “ABC sources tell TMZ … Brown performed and was interviewed by Robin Roberts live from the Times Square studio when she began asking about the infamous incident.
“Brown tried to redirect the questions to focus on his album — but Roberts continued to ask about Brown’s legal issues stemming from the Rihanna incident.”
“We’re told after the interview, Brown freaked out, storming into his dressing room and screaming so loud, the people in hair and makeup became alarmed and called security.
We’re told Brown was out of control, and one source present tells us he smashed a window in his dressing room, and the glass shattered and some shards fell onto 43rd and Broadway. Â ABC security tells TMZ … the window was shattered with a chair.
We’re told by the time security rushed the area, Brown had ripped off his shirt and left the building, blowing off another performance he was supposed to do for the ABC website.
And sources say … on his way out of the building, Brown confronted a segment producer, got in his face and stared him down. Â People from the show got in between Chris and the producer to diffuse the situation.
Remember — Brown is on probation for the felony beating and he’s required to obey all laws.
UPDATE 6:49 AM PT: Â Brown just tweeted, “I’m so over people bringing this past s**t up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bulls**t.”
UPDATE 6:59 AM PT: Brown has already deleted the previous tweet … and added a new one that reads, “All my fans!!! This album is for you and only you!!! I’m so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!!”
UPDATE 7:48 AM PT: Glass workers just showed up to fix the window.”
