DIANE KEATON: OSCAR WINNER AND MAVERICK DIRECTOR OF A BELINDA CARLISLE VIDEO.

by Biz-Boy (NWM Staff Writer)

After the wild success of Baby Boom in '87, Diane Keaton kept her creative momentum going by signing on as video director for Belinda Carlisle's smash hit – Heaven is a Place on Earth. Most, didn't know what to expect when this star (with no directing experience) took the director's chair. However, Diane totally rose to the occasion. To start, Keaton kept the budget intact by filming most of the action sequences at Six Flag's Magic Mountain in California. She also made the risky decision of having Belinda open the video wearing a button down cableknit sweater, instead of her trademark, lowcut blouse. And to keep with the raw realism undertones, Keaton surprisingly casted Carlisle's husband (Morgan Mason) as the shadowy, mysterious figure that makes out with her. Soon after the video release the single shot up the Billboard charts to #1.

Coincidence or brilliant direct

DOWN HOME GANGSTA-STYLE!!!

Every now and then you see some bands/singers do the ol’ country crossover. In the 90s, you saw southern belles like Shania Twain, Dixie Chicks, and Leann Rimes two-steppin' over to pop territory. Recently bands like Bon Jovi and Kid Rock have made reverse jumps from rock to rock-ish country. Of course Cowboy Troy has made the grandest gallop of them all. Country to Hip-Hop. Cowboy Troy is being billed as a country rapper. Troy's music has a kinda hard hip hop edge to it, but is still firmly rooted in country (if that makes any sense.) He has 4 studio albums under his big buckled belt. Two of which (Loco Motive & Black in The Saddle), hit Billboard’s top 100 for country. Troy has made appearances on USA Network’s Nashville, WWE’s Raw and at the Republican National Convention in 2008. No word if the duet he did with the Notorious Dick Cheney will ever be released as a single.
