For those keener on celebrity-spotting or dancing the night away than medal counting, the British host city has plenty of action to offer during games time. Away from the track and field, Hollywood royalty such as Brangelina and Nicole Kidman will be rubbing shoulders with diplomats and businessmen at the city's glitziest clubs and grandest historic buildings. Meanwhile, Dizzy Rascal, Snow Patrol and other musicians will keep crowds entertained at outdoor concerts across the capital - though there won't be cocktails and canapes. The party vibe kicks off Saturday with the sold-out ''River of Music'' festival, which features six stages along the Thames, each named for a different continent. Musicians from the Americas, for example, are taking over London's iconic Tower of London, with a gig from the Scissor Sisters. Other performers include Baaba Maal, Wynton Marsalis and the Kronos Quartet.

And only some of them will involve medals. Many of the world's top athletes will compete in the Olympics this summer, and there will be plenty of action away from the tracks, fields and arenas. Alongside the sporting contest is an entertainment extravaganza that will bring stars and celebrities from Paul McCartney to Brangelina to London during the Games. Britain is organizing a banquet designed to demonstrate - as Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt put it - that ''culture is to Britain what the sun is to Spain.'' Culture is a $177 billion a year business in Britain, and music is one of the country's biggest exports, so it's no surprise that the Games will be accompanied by a melodic soundtrack of summer concerts. On July 21-22, the ''River of Music'' will feature six stages along the Thames - each named for a different continent - with music from artists including Baaba Maal, Wynto Wed, 27 Jun 2012 19:17:40 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/feast_of_arts_galaxy_of_stars_for_olympic_games/11105078 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/feast_of_arts_galaxy_of_stars_for_olympic_games/11105078 Feast of arts, galaxy of stars for Olympic Games http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/feast_of_arts_galaxy_of_stars_for_olympic_games/11105078 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Variety posted an article about USA Network hosting their annual Upfront event for advertisers today in New York City.

He's not competing, he's performing at concerts around the U.K. celebrating the Olympic torch's route as it travels to the games. The Londoner will join Dizzee Rascal, The Wanted and Mark Ronson at a Hyde Park show in London July 26, the day before the Olympics' opening ceremony. Wretch 32 said: ''I wanted to be involved as much as I possibly could because it's such a big deal ... I'm going to be telling my kids and my grandkids I was part of the campaign.'' Wretch 32 is currently on tour. His latest single ''Hush Little Baby'' will be released May 27. These days he says he works out on stage - joking that he could easily have been an Olympian, if it wasn't for the sweating. ---- Online: www.wretch32.com Thu, 10 May 2012 06:05:46 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/rapper_wretch_32_cheers_hometown_olympics/10759814 http://network.yardbarker.com/entertainment/article_external/rapper_wretch_32_cheers_hometown_olympics/10759814 Rapper Wretch 32 cheers hometown Olympics http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/rapper_wretch_32_cheers_hometown_olympics/10759814 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png I guess it’s technically not new music, but this is the first glimpse into Amy Winehouse’s 12-track album, “Lioness: Hidden Treasures,” a compilation of demos, covers and unreleased material which is due out Dec. 5.
