Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Chrishan shares his BET Jams-premiered visual for “Sin City” Remix featuring R&B hitter Ty Dolla $ign.

Credited for the penning hits by Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, and others, Chrishan is a force unlike any other. After helping others climb the charts, the Ohio/ Minnesota native has his own hit with gold-certified “Sin City.”

How Casino Games Could Double Celebrity Earnings

You don’t become one of the world’s richest musicians just by making good music. You also have to make smart business deals. Madonna is worth $590 million as she also owns health clubs, acts, and creates clothes, while P Diddy is worth $820 million for opening his own record label and for his other business ventures.

Releasing a successful song is likely the fastest way to make money in that business but it may not be the way to make the most money. The world’s biggest celebrities who make so much more money do so by diversifying their sources of income, with online casinos being a surprising option. If you are looking for an online casino, the gold coin casino at global poker comes highly recommended.

How Much Do Online Casinos Make?

A report by Technavio reveals that in the United States, the online gambling market is likely to make $4 billion in 2020. This industry is made up of several sectors, such as sports betting, table casino games like blackjack and roulette and games such as slots. The popularity of mobile casinos is part of the reason for this growth.

Without releasing their own online casino, the world’s most famous musicians are unlikely to make billions of dollars in a year. However, by entering into the market with their own game, they could potentially make millions of dollars without having to do much work.

What Celebrity Games Are There?

Some celebrities are doing this now and have allowed players to spin reels with their faces on and play casino games with their music for years. Some of the biggest slots available are the Guns N Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson slot games.

The Top Trumps Celebs game available at the online betting and casino site Betfair features several famous people on the reels. Players can match symbols of Brad Pitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Elvis Presley as they try to get the jackpot. The slot game only uses their photos but with a slot about their films or their music, they could make so much more.

Who Could Make a Casino Game?

For a musician to make a successful casino game, they’ll need to have a large selection of hits. Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice may be a popular one-hit-wonder but many players won’t want to listen to it on repeat. You would likely need three songs for the wild, the scatter, and the jackpot, to make the game entertaining.

Some of the best casino games about celebrities are ones that make us feel as though we’re going to a performance, where we are excited to hear every song that’s being played. This is why so many rock bands, such as KISS, have official slot games. You get to enjoy music in a new and exciting way without having to wait for them to go on tour.

Releasing a casino game could become a more popular option for celebrities looking to make money without having to release a new album or go on tour. It allows musicians and their fans to keep getting something out of music that was released years ago.

Bingo! It’s Taken Over The UK, Could It Work Here?

The UK has revolutionized its nightlife offerings in recent years. No longer content with just a night on the town, Brits are going for experiences above all else, offering up things like arcades, mini-golf, and even bingo – all in or with bars. But what’s driven this sudden interest in pastimes previously reserved for families and even grandparents? Well, these games are a lot of fun… and there’s usually a lot more to them! So could they work right here in the USA?

The Beginning of the Boom

One of the first bingo club nights to pop up on the scene now so adored by millennials was Bongo’s Bingo. It’s found fame all over the world but continues to cook up a storm all across the UK. Offering a mix of music, a live show, and classic head-down bingo, the night appeals to anyone hoping to have a good time.

If you’re traveling and don’t know what to expect, it’s possible to remind yourself of the rules of play on sites like http://bingo.betfair.com/, which can give you a feel for the kinds of themes you might like best, choosing from a range such as Deal or No Deal and Rainbow Riches. Themes are all the rage at these bingo club nights.

What’s Spiked the Fascination?

According to an article at http://www.ft.com/content, nights like Bongo’s Bingo appeal to the social media generation. Everything about them is over the top and extremely Instagrammable, which is perhaps why they always sell out. From dance-offs to drag queens, there’s something for everyone, all packaged up into a format that uses cash prizes to encourage interactivity.

How “Bogan Bingo” has taken London by storm

Yet another bingo event that’s cropping up in the UK is Bogan Bingo. “Bogan” isn’t a British term – in fact, it hails all the way from Melbourne, Australia. If you’re hoping to enjoy a wild night out in London, Bogan Bingo, hosted in Fulham, should take you off the beaten tourist track. Bingo was THE coolest game of the ’80s in Melbourne, according to organizers, which is why they’ve brought it back ’80s style to a soundtrack hailing from that time. Tickets and information are available at http://www.boganbingo.co.uk/info. Expect everything from Bon Jovi to Bruce Springsteen!

Putting on a Real Show

Both Bongo’s Bingo and Bogan Bingo rely heavily on entertainment in addition to the game of bingo. Both easily integrate elements of comedy in the form of a live show, as well as top DJs and even famous bands. There’s a real “throwback” element to them – many of the special guests are pop bands from decades gone by, which really adds to the nostalgia element. In between games, there’s always something to do.

Could Bingo Clubs in America?

Bingo nights have become the life and soul of British nightlife – you can find them in cities across the nation, and you’re guaranteed a good time. But whether they would work here is hard to say. Whether Americans would be as likely to enjoy dancing on tables beyond their college years is difficult to say. However, providing the nights were themed accordingly for the relevant audiences, fun nights like this are suitable for anyone.

Rolls-Royce patrons are a unique subset of society – entrepreneurs, visionaries, heads of state, royalty, founders and the brightest stars of the entertainment industry. These clients are global denizens, connoisseurs, patrons of the arts, philanthropists, collectors of fine and exquisite items; individuals untethered by common constraints such as time and money.

These individuals have complete confidence in Rolls-Royce’s ability to delight and inspire them. However, due to their highly mobile international lifestyles, they have been seeking a means to have more regular personal involvement with the marque – more experiences, more access, and more immersion in the luxury world open to Rolls-Royce as the world’s leading luxury brand.

Of course, these individuals have existing access to concierge services, personal shoppers and consultants to support various aspects of their lives, but they wanted something different from Rolls-Royce – something above and beyond.

This rarefied group of individuals wanted Rolls-Royce to facilitate a coming together of the extraordinary people who make up the marque’s worldwide client fraternity.

La Gaia x Repsol Sun Award

La Gaia, the flagship restaurant located in the Ibiza Gran Hotel, receives its second Sol Repsol thanks to its Mediterranean Kaiseki gastronomic proposal.

La Gaia, the iconic restaurant at Ibiza Gran Hotel, wins its second Repsol Sun. With this award, the Spanish Repsol Guide recognizes the excellence of the gastronomic proposal and experience offered by the chef Óscar Molina and his team. La Gaia aims at taking its culinary offer a step further through its gastronomic concept: Mediterranean Kaiseki. An enveloping ceremony for the five senses with Japanese and Mediterranean influences. While finding the perfect balance between haute cuisine and artistic expression, Óscar Molina shows his most personal side through elaborations that tell stories and express his life experiences.

There is a new gastronomic landmark to celebrate in Balearic Islands as of 2020. La Gaia, the flagship restaurant of Ibiza Gran Hotel, just won its second Repsol Sun, the award that the Spanish Repsol Guide gives away every year to the best restaurants and chefs in order to reward the excellence of a culinary proposal and service. Thus, the restaurant becomes the only one to obtain the second distinction within the islands in this edition.

Within a magnificent location in the island and led by the chef Óscar Molina, La Gaia is the unique fusion cuisine restaurant that has conquered the most demanding palates in Ibiza. Since its opening, his essence and philosophy have always been present within the project and culinary proposal. A new gastronomic concept that has never stopped evolving due to Oscar’s self-demand and curiosity for trying new techniques, flavours and textures while surprising. Thus, in order to keep looking for the excellence and sophistication and after winning its first Repsol Sun in 2017, La Gaia presented its new gastronomic concept in 2019 under Mediterranean Kaiseki.

With this proposal, which will be the main pillar of the gastronomic experience at La Gaia in 2020, Molina and his team turn every dinner into an authentic enveloping ceremony where every detail, color, texture and flavour are balance in every dish to express and show the intensity of the flavours at its finest. In the same way and being completely aware of the rich environment that surrounds the island, Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean sea are very present in every creation through the techniques, ingredients and flavours.

Through a dynamic menu that evolves and changes throughout the season, Mediterranean Kaiseki is also the most personal culinary proposal of the chef Óscar Molina, who uses every plate as a canvas to capture his experiences, memories, emotions and reivindicaciones.

“Obtaining the second Repsol Sun is not only a huge pride and joy but also an incredible energy and enthusiasm boost for the whole team. Starting off the season with this recognition makes us commencing with more hope and goodwill if possible. We can’t wait to open La Gaia doors again this year to keep exceeding our expectations and giving away special moments for our dinners. We want to move them through an excellent gastronomic experience with a very personal and careful treatment that makes them feel like at home” states the chef Óscar Molina.

About La Gaia:
La Gaia is the gastronomic flagship restaurant of Ibiza Gran Hotel. Managed by the chef Óscar Molina and inspired by the Japanese Kaiseki tradition that reflects the perfect combination between haute cusine and artistic expression around the Mediterranean universe, La Gaia has designed a culinary proposal capable of transporting the most exquisite palates into other gastronomic worlds. The result is a whole menu with a strong personality and creative winks that come from the very latest gastronomic trends.

“Doin’ My Drugs” x Film Premiere

Landmark Doin’ My Drugs Documentary Commemorates “Zero Discrimination Day”

With Swiss Premiere Screening as Initiative of UN Information Service

Danish Pop Star Screens his Documentary 1 March 2020, Following Film’s
2019 World AIDS Day Screening in China and CPH:DOX* World Premiere

WHO: Film subject, recording artist and AIDS activist Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn; Doin’ My Drugs Documentary director Tyler Q Rosen; Kevin Osborne, Executive Director, the International AIDS Society; Charlotte Sector, Multimedia Communications Manager, United Nations (ONU) UNAIDS

WHAT: Swiss Premiere Screening of Doin’ My Drugs film in Geneva followed by discussion: HIV: 40 years Later, Discrimination Still Kills, with panelists Buttenschøn, Rosen, and Osborne; Charlotte Sector, moderator.

WHEN: Doin’ My Drugs Screening: 1 March 2020, 11:00h

WHERE: Cinéma CINÉRAMA EMPIRE, Rue de Carouge 72-74 Geneva. Phone: +86.10.5798.9798. Admission Free; all ages.

MORE: Doin’ My Drugs is the story of musician Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn—born HIV-positive in 1985—and his crusade to use his music to wipe out AIDS in his native Zambia and beyond. Doin’ My Drugs aims to raise awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zambia — a country of 17 million people where more than 1.2 million are HIV-positive or have the disease. Zambia’s situation is mirrored throughout the developing world.

A father to two young children, Buttenschøn has kept his HIV in check and his family virus-free, by “doin’ his drugs.” He recognized that his native Zambia remains trapped in a horrific and senseless AIDS crisis. While a significant percentage of the population there is infected with HIV, many antiretroviral drug treatment programs that keep the virus dormant—“a near-zero viral load” as Buttenschøn says—are widely available through government programs for free.

Buttenschøn has recorded a full studio album in LA and Lusaka, Zambia with 16-time Grammyâ-winning producer, Thom Russo Jr. That album is titled Doin’ My Drugs and will become the official motion picture soundtrack. He debuted a new single, Keep On Talking, on his China tour.

Buttenschøn has also set up a foundation, the Muchimba Music Foundation, to help his supporters, collaborators and himself on their journeys. His goal is to test upwards of 100,000 Zambians by expanding his foundation’s Test-for-Ticket concert series into a country-wide tour of Zambia. The Muchimba Music Foundation’s initial concert in Lusaka tested 10,802 people and enrolled those who tested positive into patient care treatment programs. MMF is currently fundraising to meet his goal. The Muchimba Music Foundation is planning to produce a second major concert on World AIDS Day this year, Dec.1: Zed Me Free 2. Zed Me Free and joining UNAIDS is Muchimba’s latest move to acquire more partners with a goal to reduce HIV infection in Zambia and beyond.

UNAIDS, the United Nations Information Service Geneva and the
International AIDS Society organized this screening to commemorate Zero Discrimination Day.

Founded in 1988, the IAS is the world’s largest association of HIV professionals, with members in more than 170 countries. Working with its members, the IAS advocates and drives urgent action to reduce the impact of HIV. The IAS is also the steward of the world’s most prestigious HIV conferences: the International AIDS Conference, the IAS Conference on HIV Science, and the HIV Research for Prevention Conference.

The team’s choice of Buttenschøn and his film—a former judge on the country’s wildly popular Denmark’s Got Talent (Danmark Har Talnet) is reflective of his and his family’s personal experience with HIV/AIDS, his renown in the country and the world premiere of the film based on his life and work that premiered in Copenhagen as a highlight of the prestigious CPH:DOX* music program, one of the world’s foremost documentary film and music festivals.

Becky Hill x U.S. Live Debut

U.K. ARTIST BECKY HILL MAKES HER U.S. LIVE DEBUT WITH AN ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE AT NYC’S MERCURY LOUNGE ON APRIL 9

LYRIC VIDEO FOR “BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU” Ft. SHIFT K3Y OUT NOW – VIEW HERE

HILL HAS AMASSED OVER ONE BILLION STREAMS AND CHARTED SEVEN TOP 40 HITS IN UK

Chart-topping U.K. artist Becky Hill will make her U.S. live debut with an intimate, acoustic performance at Mercury Lounge in New York City on Thursday, April 9. BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac has called her “one of the finest voices in pop music today.” With over a billion streams and 20 million Spotify monthly listeners, Hill is now the 2nd most listened to British female artist on Spotify in the U.K. Tickets for this special performance are available HERE.

“IM PLAYING MY FIRST AMERICAN SHOW!! NEW YORK!!” says Hill. “UR in for a treat at the Mercury Lounge as I’ll be playing an intimate, acoustic show on the 9th of April in my 2nd favourite city!”

Renowned for her show-stopping vocal prowess and credentials as a hitmaking songwriter, the 25-year-old artist is one of Britain’s most in-demand musical exports. Popjustice declared her “UK pop’s greatest secret weapon.” To date, Hill has written and performed on seven singles that charted in the top 40 of the UK Official Singles chart yet her roots are firmly ensconced in electronic music. Her songwriting skills have been enlisted by such artists as Tiësto, Jax Jones, Martin Solveig and Little Mix.

“Better Off Without You” is Hill’s first release since 2019’s Get To Know, which Billboard hailed as “electrifying…a must-hear.” A hugely personal body of work that explores the varying stages of love and loss, Get To Know simultaneously serves as an introduction to Hill and a veritable greatest hits collection. It contains the million-selling “Gecko (Overdrive)” with Oliver Heldens, which took the No. 1 spot on the UK Official Singles chart, the UK Top 10 singles “Wish You Well” with Sigala, which has amassed over 100 million streams, and “Afterglow” with Wilkinson, plus the club anthem “Back & Forth” with MK and Jonas Blue. The album also includes her collaborations with MNEK, WEISS and Matoma.

What to Include in the Police Accident Report

Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone, and without a warning or time to prepare. According to a report, more than 37,000 people lose their lives to road accidents each year in the US, around 2.35 million people are subject to injuries or disabilities due to accidents, and these accidents amount to $230.6 billion in costs (around $820 per person). No matter how many precautions you take while driving, you still might get into an accident with no fault of yours, as many times you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. While what you do before the accident might not have such a big impact on the situation, what you do after an accident is very important, and is under your control.

In an unfortunate instance of an accident, the first thing you need to do is keep your calm and make sure that you are alright and check to see if any injuries have been incurred by you or other people involved in the accident. If there are any injuries, you should immediately call for emergency services and inform the police.

It is very important to make a police accident report after an accident, even if it is a minor one. The Texas law requires the individual to report the accident to the police if the damages exceed $1,000, or there is an injury or death. If you do not report the accident despite the conditions mentioned earlier, you might face a fine of $5,000. Even if the police do not come to the scene due to whatever reason, you still might have to file an accident report with the Texas Department of Transportation.

The essential things that must be included in the police accident report are:

Witness accounts

Whether you think what they have to say is of any importance or not, the statements of any witnesses present on the scene must be included in the police accident report, as these statements might help you out in any future legal actions. The statements are usually taken by the police but in case no police are present, you can record these on your mobile phone.

Details

Complete details need to be included in the report including the place, time, date of the accident, the people involved in the accident, details of the vehicles involved in the accident, and how and why the accident took place. The details should be as rich as possible as you never know what information might be useful in the future if there are any lawsuits or insurance claims. The details of the conditions in which the accident took place also need to be mentioned in the report including the weather, road and lighting conditions at the time and place of the accident.

Injuries and damage

The report should include the injuries incurred by the people involved in the accident and the damage incurred by the cars involved in the accident.
