Kids’ Choice Sports 2016--helmed for a second straight year by Seattle Seahawks two-time Super Bowl quarterback Wilson--was taped Thursday, July 14, from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, and will premiere Sunday, July 17, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) as a simulcast on Nickelodeon, TeenNick and Nicktoons. Entering the arena greeted by hundreds of kid fans, NBA All-Star Kobe Bryant was presented with the gold-mohawked Kids’ Choice Sports Legend Award by Zendaya, in recognition of his record-breaking achievements, unrivaled talent and outstanding sportsmanship on and off the basketball court. Upon receiving his award, Bryant was doused from head to toe in glistening gold slime. Throughout the event, three kids competed in Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports 2016 “Triple Shot Challenge” for an opportunity to each win $50,000. Pro-athletes cheered on Reynaldo Fernandez, of Los Angeles, Calif., Oliver Callanan, of Portland, Ore., and Jake Lombardo, of Wayne, N.J., as they each attempted to make their shot across basketball, soccer and football, respectively. Callanan took home the big win on his first try, with a 30-yard kick that hit the crossbar and earned him $50,000. The slime-filled celebration also featured five grand-scale, sports-themed challenges: CC Sabathia and Von Miller zipped their way through the KCS 500, an obstacle-ridden race around the perimeter of the entire arena, on high-speed pedal racing carts; Tony Hawk and Jagger Eaton went head to head in a skateboard challenge and rolled down an epic 65-foot long ramp inside slime-filled Zorb balls in the Human Bowling Challenge; Victor Espinoza, Emanuel Sanders, Nikki and Brie Bella, Andre Drummond and Jamie Anderson took competitive eating to a new level in the Key Slime Pie Challenge; In the Smash Mountain challenge, Rob Gronkowski and fellow footballer Russell Wilson battled obstacles, scaled a nearly vertical 65-foot ramp and wielded sledgehammers to smash their way to the Kids’ Choice Sports medal; And teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson faced off in the Big Slime Ballers Challenge, a three-point contest where each shot triggered slime-filled nets above kid rebounders. Additional show moments included: a glitter-filled celebratory entrance at the top of the show by J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, Tristan Thompson, and Dahntay Jones of the Cleveland Cavaliers toting their 2016 NBA Championship trophy; a dance-off featuring Rob Gronkowski going toe to toe against Ciara; the hockey-themed Celebrity Headshot with LA Kings Tyler Toffoli and Nick Cannon; and, of course, multiple slimings.

[BlackTree TV - Los Angeles] Shawn Edwards sits down with two of the hottest latin stars on the screen, Mr. Antonio Banderas and Ms. Selma Hayek to talk about their voices in the new movie "Puss In Boots", which has been #1 in the box office for 2 consecutive weeks. Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots (ANTONIO BANDERAS) becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street smart Kitty Softpaws (SALMA HAYEK) and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty (ZACH GALIFIANAKIS) to save his town. Complicating matters along the way are the notorious outlaws Jack and Jill (BILLY BOB THORNTON and AMY SEDARIS), who will do anything to see that Puss and his band do not succeed. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend...and, of course, The Boots. Since his introduction to American cinema in the highly acclaimed "Mambo Kings," ANTONIO BANDERAS (Puss in Boots) is irrefutably one of the leading international actors of his generation. He has received critical praise for his performances in film, television and theater, as well as behind the scenes as a feature film director. In 2005, he was honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His second directorial feature is the Spanish film "El Camino De Los Ingleses" (titled "Summer Rain" in the U.S.). A coming-of-age story, the film follows the first loves, lusts and obsessions of friends on vacation at the end of the 1970s. He made his directorial debut with "Crazy in Alabama," starring his wife, Melanie Griffith. Banderas stole the show in the 2004 blockbuster animated film "Shrek 2" as the voice of Puss in Boots. He reprised this role in the widely anticipated sequel "Shrek the Third," the ABC Christmas special "Shrek the Halls," and the fourth installment of the franchise, "Shrek Forever After." In 2003, Banderas earned a Tony nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for his Broadway debut in the Roundabout Theater Company production of "Nine," a musical ...

(BlackTree TV - Los Angeles) We sat down with Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth who play Captain America and Thor respectively in the upcoming superhero movie The Avengers. THOR (The God of Thunder) played by CHRIS HEMSWORTH An arrogant prince from the distant land of Asgard, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) was banished to Earth after his irresponsible behavior threatened his homeland. While in exile on Earth, Thor learned humility and helped save his new friends from a destructive threat sent by his brother Loki. In the process, Thor redeemed himself in the eyes of his father, Odin, the King of Asgard. After being welcomed back to Asgard as a hero, Thor must now return to Earth once again to prevent a cosmic-­‐ level catastrophe. With Mjolnir in his hand, a legendary hammer with immense power, the mighty warrior soon finds himself drawn into an unlikely alliance with Nick Fury s secret initiative, The Avengers, lending his power to their cause against his wayward brother, Loki. Chris Hemsworth on Thor: "Thor has more of a personal investment in what s happening than the other Super Heroes because Loki is his brother. The bigger conflict for him is that he s trying to protect the greater good, but he has some deep questions about what is going on with his brother." CAPTAIN AMERICA (Steve Rogers) played by CHRIS EVANS After a top-­‐secret Super Soldier program transformed frail Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) into the powerful and heroic Captain America, his amazing WWII exploits made him a living legend. Steve saved New York City and turned the tide of the war, but crashed into the Arctic during his final mission. Awakening in the modern day, Steve learned that he had spent decades frozen in the icy tundra. Now, Steve Rogers finds himself alone in a modern world that he hardly recognizes. When Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), director of the international peacekeeping agency S.H.I.E.L.D., calls on Rogers to help save the world again, he quickly suits up as Captain America, taking up his iconic shield and bringing his ...

Synopsis: Bob Marley s universal appeal, impact on music history and role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. MARLEY is the definitive life story of the musician, revolutionary, and legend, from his early days to his rise to international superstardom. Made with the support of the Marley family, the film features rare footage, incredible performances and revelatory interviews with the people that knew him best. From Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald (One Day In September, The Last King of Scotland) comes the story of a towering figure of musical history, whose music and message has transcended different cultures, languages and creeds to resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive. About NEVILLE GARRICK: A true Renaissance man of the 20th and 21st centuries, Neville Garrick almost defies description. A lighting director, art director, photographer, visual and graphic artist, student of the effects of the African Diaspora, lecturer, film producer, author, technical production expert and entrepreneur, Garrick is best known for is masterful album cover designs and stage backdrops including the seminal "Haile Selassie I" stage backdrop created for Bob Marley during the magical period of the 1970s and 1980s, the period in which Bob Marley established himself as a true revolutionary international force. Garrick started his art career at Kingston College in Jamaica, and then graduated Cum Laude from UCLA in California, where he was also a member of the UCLA Soccer Team and participated in the National Finals for Soccer (NCAA) from 1971 to 1972. While attending UCLA Garrick was the associate editor of "NOMMO" the black students newspaper and a member of the Black Students Union Central Committee. In 1970 Garrick led a team of seven black art students who created a 40 ft. x 15 ft. mural titled "The Black Experience" on the northern wall of UCLA s cafeteria in Ackerman Union. On returning to Jamaica he became the Art Director of the Jamaica Daily News from 1973 to 1974, and then was invited to join the Tuff Gong family, as the Art Director, a position, which he still holds to this day. To many, the insightful album designs of Garrick was at least partly responsible for the tremendous success of Marley, attracting the eye and stating in visual form what Marley was expressing through the music. A friend and confidant of Marley, Garrick also worked in that period for the cream of the Jamaican entertainment industry, including Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, The Wailers, Steel Pulse, and the I-Three. Garrick has produced over 100 album art designs. The close friendship between Marley and Garrick endured to the end. After Bob s passing, Garrick became more and more involved in preserving the Marley legacy. He designed a new addition to the Bob Marley Museum at 56 Hope Road in Kingston and served as Executive Director of the Bob Marley Foundation from 1990 t0 1996. During that same period he also produced the unforgettable biographical film "Time Will Tell" on Bob Marley, a film that has won him much acclaim. Garrick also held the title of Lighting and Set Director for Reggae Sunsplash, which was billed as "the biggest reggae festival in the history of the world." His Rastafarian spirituality and his over-riding interest in the role of Ethiopia in world history, culture and religion have also helped define him as a person and can be seen his book "A Rasta s Pilgrimage -- Ethiopian Faces and Places" where he spent over 2-months exploring Ethiopia s "Hidden Empire". On August 6, 2005, in a ceremony marking Jamaica s 43rd year of independence from Britain, Neville Garrick received the Prime Minister s Award for Excellence in honor of his contribution to Jamaican music.

With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 29 nominations), a 2012 Golden Globe Award nomination, and four American Music Awards, Blige most recently returned for her tenth studio album, the aptly titled My Life II...

A BlackTree Media Production Subscribe to our channel http://goo.gl/lVN14 Log onto our stream at http://goo.gl/74Ama Follow us on twitter @BlackTreeTV When it comes to your dreams, will you know when to make the right move? For 19-year-old Sparkle, an innocent, bubbly young woman growing up in late 1960s Detroit, making that leap has its rewards and its consequences. The girl who grew up admiring her mother and sisters and loving everything about singing would soon discover love, hurt, disappointment, independence and courage through music, and her quest to be a star. SPARKLE is the story of three sisters who love each other fiercely, who each have their own dreams and ambitions, and who form a girl group as a way of capitalizing on the Motown sound sweeping the nation. And it looks like they re going to take the music world by storm. But looming over them is the shadow of a strong mother who isn t necessarily supportive of that dream, and hard realities about the spotlight that threaten to tear at the fabric of their tightly knit family. This new version of SPARKLE is an ode to the genius of the original 1976 movie, modified to the music, fashion, lingo and historical affects of the 1960s, while maintaining the emotional clarity and aspirational spirit of the earlier classic. The city has been changed to Detroit, the home of "Hit Factory" Motown, and the original struggling single parent is now an upper middle class family doing very well. But it retains its enriching focus on the consequences of choices and how they affect those you love, all the while reiterating the importance of family and faith. CARMEN EJOGO (Sister) has established a distinguished career in both feature films and television. Ejogo made her US film debut opposite Eddie Murphy playing Veronica Ronnie Tate in the 1997 comedy Metro.

Ejogo can next be seen starring opposite Tyler Perry in the feature I, Alex Cross, a psychological thriller based on the James Patterson novels about Washington DC detective Alex Cross. The film is set for release in October 2012. Additionally, Ejogo garnered the attention of television critics and audiences alike for her portrayal of Sally Hemmings, the title character in the 2000 CBS miniseries Sally Hemmings: An American Scandal. Later, Ejogo starred as Coretta Scott King in HBO s critically acclaimed film Boycott opposite Jeffrey Wright and Terrence Howard. Her role earned her a 2001 Image Award nomination for Outstanding Actress in a TV film or miniseries. In 2005, Ejogo starred in HBO s Emmy nominated Lackawanna Blues. Her role as Aalen earned her a second Image Award nomination for Outstanding Actress in a TV film or miniseries.
