Jail has to be like one of the worst places in the world a person can go. Nothing about it is good and I wouldn’t wish it on a soul. So it comes as no surprise when you hear stories about inmates trying to escape from jail and their successful and unsuccessful attempts at it. However, a recent report about a Brazil gang leader who dressed up as his own daughter when she came to visit him and planned on leaving his daughter behind in the jail is one of the craziest things I’ve heard thus far. According to , Clauvino da Silva (who is also known as “Shorty”) was caught by authorities trying to break out of the Gericinó prison in Rio de Janeiro dressed like a woman. “The reputed crime boss was allegedly wearing a pink t-shirt with a cartoon image of donuts, a black wig, silicon mask and tight jeans to conceal his identity. A video released by authorities appears to show him removing the mask and some of the clothes and saying his full name.” Authorities said Silva’s daughter came to visit him at the prison and Silva dressed himself to look identical to his daughter. Silva’s plan was to trick guards to think he was his daughter and to leave his daughter at the prison. His escape attempt was almost successful until authorities noticed him acting extremely nervous, which immediately gave away his disguise. The convicted drug dealer’s amazing get-up was so convincing prison staff only stopped him at the end of visiting time because he started acting too nervously, authorities told the Now authorities are investigating if Silva’s daughter was an accomplice in his escape attempt. Silva is said to be a part of the leadership of the Red Command, one of the most powerful criminal groups in Brazil that controlled drug trafficking in a large part of Rio. Since the incident, Silva was transferred to a special unit of a maximum-security prison and will face disciplinary action.

Malik Yoba has received much praise and support since admitting his love for all women, , to combat the stigma, shame, and bullying attached to straight men—specifically black men—dating transwomen in an Instagram post. But one transwoman took major issue with the former Empire star’s statement and the support he was receiving and accused him of for sex 20 years ago in New York City. “NYs Child Sex Abuse law means Malik will have to face the music. Sorry to burst a lot of folks bubbles,” Mariah Lopez Ebony wrote in a now-viral Facebook post on Sunday (Sep. 1). Ebony alleged that Yoba paid her for sex when she was just 13 years old, and again when she was 16. She said Yoba specifically sought out black transgender minors. “[Yoba’s] admission to being sexually attracted to Trans women, is bound to open a Pandora’s box for him; not because the women are Trans, But because many of the Trans women he engaged in sexual exploration and exploitation with on 14th Street, Times Square and elsewhere, were minors. Including myself.” “What Malik paid me to do, as a 13 and 16-year-old, wasn’t love,” she continued, adding that “he knew what he was doing, was wrong.” She also said Yoba would beg for unprotected sex. Ebony also questioned Yoba’s true reasoning for publicly professing he love for transwomen. Yoba made his post in defense of transgender relationships, but Ebony believes someone was threatening to reveal his past with transgender prostitutes, forcing him to “come out.” “Where was his LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEE for Trans women over the last 20 years? Where are his Trans girlfriends? Something tells me I’m not the only one who got some dirt on this individual and, something also tells me that he didn’t just up-and-decide to ‘come out’, he was pushed. “Careful not to make a fool of yourself supporting him and his message. I am sure I am not the only trans person who was a minor when Malik Yoba first ‘loved’ them.” Yoba admitted his sexual attraction to transwomen last week in response to the suicide of , a 20-year-old black man who was seen being bullied for dating a transwoman in a viral video. “ATTENTION BLACK AND ALL MEN!!! THIS IS NOT OK!!!!! This video is another heartbreaking example of the homophobia, transphobia hatred and hypocrisy,” Yoba wrote. “WE as black folks, BLACK MEN in particular have to NAME , FACE and CALL OUT and do the work to heal!!!” Yoba continued: “I love ALL women AND count MYSELF among those that find themselves trans attracted and I too have felt the self imposed shame that comes with that truth but it’s time to speak up. It is NOT about GENITALIA OR SEX but about attraction to the soul and humanity of an individual and often the beauty that is in the courage and conviction to live ones truth!” Malik Yoba has yet to address the claims made by Mariah Lopez Ebony. is a post from:

The 10 best FX shows Have you ever noticed how many good shows have come from FX? Comingsoon.net has. Check out our favorites in the gallery below! A cable network that came into the spotlight at the turn of the , FX has managed to churn out some of the most critically-acclaimed television shows of the past twenty years or so. FX (and their separate network for comedies, FXX) has actually been responsible for as many great programs as premium cable networks like or Showtime, honestly—they just can’t seem to help themselves. They simply know how to make good TV. FX has been praised by showrunners for allowing them to have almost complete and total freedom in their couple of decades as a network—they let comedies be vulgar, they let dramas be violent, they let writers put out work they can be proud of. Here are ten examples, with plenty more that deserve honorable mentions. The post appeared first on .

I have to give 100% credit to my friend Kevin Winebold for giving me this idea. A couple years ago at a holiday party, he told me that more people should audition with reprises. Given that the man is brilliant, I agreed and have been meaning to write about this for some time. Auditioning with a reprise is a fantastic choice of material. Typically they are already short cuts, contain some great performance moments and can even show off your acting range. Also, in timed auditions the chances of being cut off are slim. I’m honestly shocked I don’t hear more of them in auditions. But if you’re considering them, here are 10 that would be good choices. “I’m the Bravest Individual” - Sweet Charity “How I Know You” - Aida “Dead Girl Walking” - Heathers “Small World” - Gypsy “Foolish to Think” - Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder “Promise Me Violet” - Violet “Falsettoland” - Falsettos ”Belle” - Beauty & the Beast “Just Beyond the Stars” - Peter Pan “Look Over There” - La Cage aux Folles

Iranian-born Canadian singer and actor Ramin Karimloo has become one of the best-known talents in the world of Musical Theatre, building a CV of impressive productions worldwide. He made his West End debut at 26, making history as the youngest Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera, and then reprised that role for both the 25th Anniversary concert, and the sequel musical Love Never Dies. Broadway credits include Les Mis (Tony Award nomination), Anastasia and Chess at the Kennedy Centre.The theme of this record is reflection, and each track fits the brief perfectly. Karimloo turned 40 last year, and it is clear that this milestone prompted him to look at his journey thus far. A broad spectrum of work is covered here, with songs from The Bridges of Madison County, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Dear Evan Hansen, Chess and The Bodyguard.From Now On is the second full-length album from Karimloo, and covers a series of Musical Theatre and film favourites with his “Broadgrass” band, adding an unusual folk twist to these classics, with instruments like banjo, and fiddle. Perhaps the most different from the original is Frozen’s Let It Go, which would not feel out of place on a folk album, rather than an all-singing, all-dancing Disney cast recording.The album title track, from The Greatest Showman is a blinder of an opening, and I would not be surprised if Karimloo played circus ringleader Barnum onstage when the musical adaptation becomes a reality. He absolutely holds his own, putting his own spin on the powerhouse anthem made famous by stage and screen legend Hugh Jackman.Artists that cover I Will Always Love You often take inspiration from Whitney Houston’s iconic recording, so it’s very refreshing to hear one that remembers Dolly Patron’s original.I particularly enjoyed that this album never feels overproduced, especially the vocal. It has an almost live quality to it, which works well on tracks like Rent’s What You Own. Musical Theatre fans crave something more real than the overproduced, manufactured sound of commercial artists, and they will not be disappointed with this album. That said, a quick iTunes search taught me that Karimloo has never recorded Bring Him Home or Music of the Night, his two most career-defining anthems, and on this album, there is definitely room for a new version of the former, especially with this band.Ramin Karimloo’s tenor sound is unique and instantly recognisable both here, and on the many cast recordings he has lent his talents to. Any fan of his work will enjoy this album, and it wouldn’t surprise me if there another is already in the works.Review by Ian MarshallRating: ★★★★
