Young Money's Shanell aka SNL and Tyga recently talked about the perception of musicians doing reality television and revealed if fans can expect to see them on the small screen soon.
According to Shanell, she and her sister D. Woods are considering the reality jump.
"We've been approached about that several times. I've tried to stay away from it but she's open to it. For me, it's just about getting the right people to put it together. A lot of reality TV has it pros and it's cons. I just wanna make sure that when it comes to family we don't have any wrong light shed on us." (VIBE)
In a separate interview, Shanell's Young Money labelmate admitted he has no interest in putting his personal life in the spotlight.
"I don't want to do no reality show right now," Tyga said in an interview. "I think if I was older, if I was like, 'All right, I'm getting to my last end,' with paper or something, I think I might be like, 'All right, I'm going to do a reality show now.' But nah, I want my fans to see me as a star, as an entertainer. All that personal stuff is kind of like, you already got Instagram, Twitter and all that, and the Internet, so I don't really want to do that right now." ("The Breakfast Club")
Last summer, rapper and "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Lil Scrappy spoke to SOHH about hip-hop artists swaying away from the reality television trend.
"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think [it's rappers being less] camera shy, I just think there's certain people that let it be known they are super thugs and they are super human and if they were to let people into their life and have them find out that they weren't super, that they just like them, they probably wouldn't feel them as much. Whatever they would try to put out there [on store shelves] wouldn't work, you feel me? Only certain people can be loved for being real. Sometimes people are a little too real, get carried away and so you wouldn't know." (SOHH)
Over the winter, Midwest rapper Freddie Gibbs shared his opinion on hip-hop artists taking on reality television.
"I think that's wack. I think you weak if you're on a reality show, really," Gibbs said when asked for his take on rappers landing starring roles in reality television shows. "You know what I mean? I think you should just do your music and do your thing and if you're mad at me saying that, come see me." (WGCI)

Qatar ruler takes title to 6 Greek islands
The emir of Qatar, one of the world's richest men, has taken title to six uninhabited Greek islands after a year and a half of paperwork.
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani paid $11 million for the islands in the Echinades chain, The Guardian reported. They are politically part of Ithaca, the island in the Ionian Sea that was home to the Homeric hero Odysseus.
The sheik plans to create vacation retreats for his family, which includes three wives and 24 children. Ioannis Kassianos, who became mayor of Ithaca three years ago after a career as an economics professor in the United States, said the sheik plans to buy the entire Echinades chain of 20 islands, all of them uninhabited. Dennis Grivas, owner of the smaller five islands, negotiated a price last week.
The islands have been in my family for over 150 years but we are not rich enough to be able to keep such valuable properties any longer, Grivas said.
We are very, very happy to see them go. They have been on the market for nearly 40 years.
Kassianos said the sale involved 18 months of red tape.
Greece is that kind of place, he said.
Even when you buy an island, even if you are the emir of Qatar, it takes a year and a half for all the paperwork to go through.
Kassianos said the sheik now has to find a workaround for a Greek law limiting the size of private homes.

Fort Hood shooter convicted on 13 counts of murder
Fort Hood shooter convicted on 13 counts of murder
FORT HOOD, Texas — As the head of a military jury read a verdict convicting him of premeditated murder 13 times, Major Nidal Hasan stared intently at her. Then he let his eyes fall to the courtroom desk in front of him.
The army psychiatrist responsible for a 2009 shooting rampage against his fellow soldiers at Texas' Fort Hood, the worst mass-shooting in history on a U.S. military base, offered no visible reaction and said nothing. But that's how almost his entire 14-day trial has gone — ever since Hasan fired his legal team and began representing himself.

Liverpool to Launch Year Long Birthday Party for The Beatles
Most people are lucky if they get cake and a card for their birthday. But than again, most people aren't The Beatles.
Liverpool is going all out in 2012 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the formation of The Beatles by hosting a series of events that will take us to the end of this year.
Well, before December 21st, anyway. Save us, John Cusack!
[photogallerylink id=61135]
Now before you freak out and give yourself a heart attack by screaming, "The Beatles formed in 1960 AARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!," let us remind you we are recognizing the Fab Four with Ringo Starr, who took over duties on drums from Pete Best in 1962.
"This is a hugely significant year in the history of The Beatles and it's one Liverpool couldn't let pass by without a huge celebration," said Liverpool city council leader Joe Anderson in a statement. Anderson also mention the events will bring more visitors to the city, which means they are definitely looking to make a few bucks on the year-long party.
The city council and several other organizations are behind the effort, which already has several events planned.
- June 16: The tribute group Wings over Liverpool will perform a special show honoring Paul McCartney's 70th birthday, which actually takes place two days later.
- June 22 and 23: The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the songs of John Lennon and McCartney.
- August 18: The 50th anniversary of Starr joining the group will be celebrated at Hulme Hall.
- August 19: The Cavern Club will mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first concert with Starr.
- August 22-28: International Beatles Week will be held, and will focus on the milestone.
- November 12-December 1: A new one-man play titled EPSTEIN, about late Beatles manager Brian Epstein, will run at the recently rechristened Epstein Theatre.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiOriginally nestled in a rural setting with baptisms in a nearby farmer's pond, Riverdale First Baptist Church is a church in transition. William Spratlin Rivers, one of the church's charter members and the man Riverdale is named after, couldn't have imagined where the church would be today, 110 years later, Pastor Jeffrey C. Lowe said. The church has transitioned from its rural to its urban surroundings and is now transitioning with the diversified community. Welcoming the changes of its community, the church has opened its doors to the influx of immigrants that has given Riverdale its international flare. A native of Cameroon, an African country about the size of California, Constance Takang, 31, and her husband Samuel joined the church after moving from Boston. Usually, moving means visiting many churches, but the Takangs just needed one visit to one church to feel at home at Riverdale First Baptist. The fellowship and friendliness made them feel welcome, she said. "If you don't show up, they give you a call to see how you are doing," Constance Takang said. "I'm impressed that we were welcomed. We weren't left out in any way." Although its congregation doesn't mirror the demographics of the community, families from the Cameroon, Nigeria and Sierra Leone have joined the church in recent years, as the church changes with the community. "Those families have made a wonderful contribution to this church," Lowe said. "While we no longer reflect the demographics of the community, we have made bridges. That's the future of the church. That's what makes this church interesting. When I was growing up in Clayton County years ago, that wasn't the case." Lowe called the church a "kaleidoscope." With each change, the look and demographics of the congregation adapts. He likened the transition the church is undergoing to the transition it underwent following World War II. Until then, most of the area in and around Riverdale was farmland. When the airport expanded and the area became more urban, so did the church. The church didn't add indoor plumbing until 1954. "This is one of the churches that the made the transition," Lowe said. "Now the question is can we change to meet the needs of an international community." Diversity has spread beyond color lines of races and moved into diversity of cultures and nationalities, he said. Laughing, he said the church didn't place an advertisement in the newspaper to attract a diverse congregation. They just came. "The diversity of Clayton County is amazing," church member Art Love, 81, said. "The diversity of the county is reflected in our membership. The diversity has enhanced the church I would say. It's brought about greater understanding." Margaret Spears, 86, has been a member of the church since 1971. "I just got a warm welcome," Spears said, echoes the sentiments of Constance Takang. Riverdale First Baptist's members are aging, he said. In its "heyday," the church had about 500 members, but has about 150 now. Through all of the changes, though, the basic Baptist principles have remained the same, Lowe said. Riverdale First Baptist Church was founded Nov. 11, 1894, and in 1902 purchased the land where the church still sits. Up until 1948, the church had monthly preaching, as opposed to weekly preaching, a sign of how the church grew, Lowe said.

Born in India: Chicken Maharajah Mac!
Adapting and making changes to suit a particular culture is one of the secrets to succeeding in new markets.
Amit Jatia is the man responsible for McDonald's phenomenal growth in the Indian market since the company first contacted him in 1994. His business has 174 McDonald's across 17 cities in India and is counting.
McDonald's was willing to localize, and so, respecting the sentiments of Hindus and Muslims in the country they promised that there would be no beef or pork on the menu. The Big Mac beef burger, the company's signature product, was replaced by the Chicken Maharajah Mac.
Perceptive of the fact that many Indians are vegetarians, and being a vegetarian himself, Amit has introduced a 20 rupees (35c) Aloo Tikki Burger, a burger with a cutlet made of mashed potatoes, peas and flavored with Indian spices. "It's something you would find on Indian streets, it was essentially the McDonald's version of street food. The price and the taste together, the value we introduced, was a hit. It revolutionized the industry in India," he says.
McDonald's doesn't have the Indian fast-food market to itself:
- Domino's Pizza has more than 500 restaurants across India
- KFC has more than 300 restaurants
- Dunkin Donuts has more than 30 outlets in India
- Burger King has just opened its first restaurant in Delhi and other outlets are reported to be opening shortly – it too has dropped pork and beef from its menu
Originally Amit was the local partner in the south and west of India, running the chain as a joint venture with the global McDonald's company. Later he bought out the McDonald's stake and now solely runs the chain in the south and west of the country. The journey hasn't been an easy one since Amit has had to adapt the business and infrastructure to a uniquely Indian market. He has segregated kitchens for vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. "All the kitchen fabrication, the refrigeration, chillers and freezers and furniture are made locally," he explains. In most cases McDonald's global suppliers have worked with local businesses to make that happen. Amit wants to take it further. His current challenge is to make fryers locally. Overall he has managed to grow same-store sales by 200% and he says he's not done yet. The plans are to open another 1,000 restaurants in the next decade.
McDonald's in India has another partner in the north with whom they are entangled in ownership issues. On asking Amit Jatia how he managed to get around it, the MBA from the University of Southern California said, "There are a lot of regulatory approvals needed to get something done. But that is known. Once you know it, you factor it into your business plan."

Indians Pre-Order Sandwiches in Advance of Burger King Opening!
Burger King was yet to open its first outlet in the country, yet over 1,200 Indians had already pre-ordered the chicken, mutton or veggie versions of its Whopper sandwich for 128 rupees (just over $2) each. Online shoppers then collected their orders in a separate line when the store opened in New Delhi's Select Citywalk Mall on November 9.
Pre-ordering has become a bit of a craze in India, and Coca-Cola India launched its Coke Zero exclusively through pre-orders on Amazon. Burger King entered India almost two decades after its competitor McDonald's. Honoring the sentiments of Hindus and Muslims, the chain will not offer any items made of beef or pork. And, just as McDonald's has done, Burger King too will Indianize its menu by including dishes made of paneer or cottage cheese that is so popular in India.
Burger King's late entry may not be a constraint in a country where fast food is in hot demand. The segment is dominated by Western players as Indian food does not easily lend itself to the standardization demands of fast food chains. India's organized fast food market is expected to grow to $8 billion in 2020 from $2.5 billion in 2013. Even though digital commerce is in its infancy in India, it is one of the fastest growing e-commerce markets in the APAC region according to Gartner which predicts it will hit $6 billion in 2015 – a 70% rise over 2014 revenues of $3.5 billion.

Taking cognizance of the improved business climate, Bloomberg News reports that international hotel chains are expecting improved occupancy rates in the mid-market segment of the second- and third-tier cities and towns of India, and are aggressively planning to set up new properties.
The owner of Holiday Inn, Intercontinental Hotels Group, which has 18 hotels in the South Asian country, plans to add 46 more over five years. Clarence Tan, senior vice president of development for Asia, Middle East and Africa said in an interview, "I am excited about the new leadership in India and the progress expected with it. It's been rocky for a while, but I don't think you can ignore India with its emerging middle class and huge labor force."
Wyndham announced the signing of 10 properties in India on October. 10, while Starwood will almost double the hotels it operates in India by adding more than 30 hotels to the existing 40 in the country. Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group plans to open more than 130 new hotels in India over the next 10 years.
"Occupancy levels are likely to increase in the coming years with rising foreign tourist arrivals and strong domestic tourist volume," said P R Srinivas, a director of hospitality at Cushman & Wakefield Inc.'s local unit in Gurgaon near New Delhi.

G Adventures Canada seeks 10,000 India Tourists
India's Cox & Kings has entered into a cooperation agreement with G Adventures, the largest small-group adventure travel company in the world, to offer the Canadian firm's sustainable and adventure tour packages to Indians.
To kick-start this venture, the partners have launched the 'Grab Your Dream' contest, which will give aspiring travellers a chance to win an all-expense paid adventure trip. This year G Adventures is aiming to get 10,000 tourists to India, and now it is seeking to source Indian outbound tourists to adventure destinations across the world, including the Amazon forest and Moroccan deserts.
Adventure tourism is a relatively nascent concept in India, and is largely unexplored.
"India is experiencing rapid growth in terms of outbound tourism and with global demand for adventure travel also continuing to grow, now is time to introduce it as a new way to see the world,," G Adventures Founder Bruce Poon Tip said. "Our job is to create awareness. It will take us nearly a year to achieve any sizable number. We are at the helm of a digital euphoria, wherein travellers are adventurous," Ezeego1.com COO Neelu Singh said.

Akzo Nobel announced plans for a two-year integration program for its International Paint Protective Coatings and Devoe High Performance Coatings companies. The companies are manufacturers of protective coatings, linings, and fire-protection products.
The integration process will proceed in managed phases over the next two years, and will result in a combined portfolio of protective coatings solutions under a single, unified source, Akzo Nobel said. Under the program, the global International Paint Protective Coatings brand will be integrated with the North American Devoe High Performance Coatings brand, with the integration to be executed over an extended period of time.
The program also calls for integration of R&D and technical-support operations located at Felling, UK; Houston, TX; Strongsville, OH; and Berea, OH. Also, the company announced the creation of a dedicated specifications support and service group, composed of International Paint and Devoe specialists to work exclusively with specifying engineers and architects.
The integration program also includes moves to align sales organizations and product and supply functions, the company said.

Robert Service: Review of Anne Applebaum's "Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956"tags: Cold War, books, reviews, Anne Applebaum, Robert Service, Iron Curtain
Robert Service is an author and professor of Russian history at the University of Oxford and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. His latest book is Spies and Commissars: The Early Years of the Russian Revolution
...The novelty of [Applebaum's] approach comes as she examines the expansion of persecution. Poland had no radio station when under Nazi rule, as the Germans sought to deprive the country of every facility that could foster unmonitored communication. The Communists were no less suspicious of wireless sets. Boleslaw Bierut published a decree in mid-1945 making private possession of a radio a capital offense, and at least one unfortunate Pole was executed for holding on to a "Phillips" model. But Bierut's larger ambition was not to silence Polish public communication but rather to restrict it to a framework favorable to the Communist cause. Stalin himself enthusiastically granted permission for the establishment of Poland's first post-German radio station, for his goal was not to reduce the Poles to abject slavery and starvation but rather to turn them into happy collaborators in the communization effort. All modalities of advanced technology were to be employed in that effort.
But no rival sources of information would be tolerated, and an aggressive prophylactic approach was adopted. Though there was no evidence, for example, that the YMCA in Warsaw was a nest of nationalist or anti-Communist resistance, Bierut and Gomulka saw trouble in the organization's mission of providing shelter and food to disoriented young Polish men. They wanted the new state to be the sole provider of these services. An additional source of concern lay in the fact that the YMCA premises were not adorned with posters that hymned Lenin and Poland's radiant Communist future. Nor could it be overlooked that the YMCA was an international body with a religious affiliation. For the Polish Communist leadership, Stalin and his party's international department were the sole foreign authorities that offered healthy—albeit confidential—guidance. The YMCA was promptly ejected from Polish territory....

Footage of Lil Wayne reuniting on stage with former Cash Money Records group Hot Boys has begun to circulate online and shows Weezy promising a collaboration album.
The video shows Weezy bringing out his past labelmates and informing audience members of their reunion.
"Say y'all wanna see some Hot Boys sh*t, right?" Wayne asked. "So for 2009 we gonna go on with the new Hot Boys sh*t…Make some motherf*cking noise for the Hot Boys! Hot Boys is B.G. Lil Weezy. Young Turk. I will pray to you [Turk]. Juvenile. Young Moolah baby. We ain't finished though. Since we got everybody out, we gonna celebrate. Let me hear the song ['Pop Bottles']. Young Money, Cash Money make noise!" (Forbez DVD)
B.G. recently said the Hot Boys reunion would be one of the biggest movements in music history.
"You can look forward to that [reunion] coming real soon," he said in an interview. "Real, real, real soon. We tying up the loose ends of the paperwork right now, and hopefully we'll have that out this year…It's going to be bigger than The Beatles…You know, at one point in time, you couldn't get me to talk about it… You know, people go through things, family go through things, but they sit down, talk it over, be real about it, acknowledge their mistakes and move on." (Vibe)
The rapper also spoke on the reunion earlier this year.
"It's gonna be all the original members, it's gonna be me, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Turk is supposed to be coming home March 16th," B.G. said in an interview. "We're gonna do it regardless because the streets keep asking for it…Mannie Fresh created the Hot Boys sound; it's only right that Mannie Fresh gives us that heat…Wayne made the deal; he came to us. He had a deal for a soundtrack, and he wanted to make it a Hot Boys soundtrack. He reached out to me and Juvenile…Before the reunion album, we're gonna' do an album which is inspired by a motion picture." (Word of South)
Turk previously talked with SOHH about the group getting back together.
"As far as the Hot Boys being broken up for a minute, it was nothing more than a family fallout," Turk wrote in a 2007 statement. "Lil Wayne, B.G. and Juvie are my brothers for real. Everything is back to the way things should be right now and that I look forward to joining the group and being heavily involved in the forthcoming Hot Boys reunion project. Expect this album to go down as a classic in hip-hop history." (SOHH)
No further information has been released on the upcoming Hot Boys reunion album.

As it turns out, 'Today' show host Hoda Kotb is quite the country music fan. Last week, we reported that Lee Brice was scheduled to co-host 'Today' Tuesday, March 20 with Kotb during the fourth hour on NBC in the absence of regular co-host Kathie Lee Gifford. Then, we got wind of another set of country co-hosts slated to appear the same week: Josh Turner will be filling Gifford's role Monday, March 19 while Kellie Pickler will stop in on Friday the 23rd. Now, a fourth co-host has been announced, and — surprise! — it's country star Randy Travis.
