Ella Bee Social Media & PR

I know, I know, I know…I’m a HUGE social media nerd (life is just like high school) but I recently discovered a cool news-sharing site (thanks to Laermer). The concept is simple. The sharing site Paper.Li basically turns your tweets and links into a daily newspaper. I think this is genius because we basically get most of our news stories from Twitter anyways (sorry Facebook-you’re too slow nowadays).

Anyhow, check it out, create your own newspaper and let me know what you think. I promise if you’re a media junkie like me, you’ll LOVE it! This site could probably also increase your online presence. I know my clients will be using.

Happy sharing.

Official Statement from Singer, Donnie Klang

Former ‘Making The Band’ contestant Donnie Klang has announced his split from Bad Boy Entertainment exclusively to Billboard. The R&B singer released one solo album on the label in 2008 and is now working on singles through Eight72 Entertainment, an independent label. Klang said he learned a lot about “the business side of things, not just music,” from Bad Boy and its CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs, but added that, “it’s tough being on a label where the president of the label is also an artist.”

Rap trio, Fast Life Yungstaz (F.L.Y.), from Island Def Jam Music Group, has debuted their new music video, “I’m So Gone” exclusively on World Star Hip Hop: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com “I’m So Gone” features rapper Roscoe Dash from F.L.Y.’s new mix tape, “Mile Hi Club.” World Star Hip Hop is the #1 site in the world for urban videos.

The song, filmed in Daytona Beach, FL, directed by BJ Hustle and produced by Kevin “K.E. on the Track” Erondu, has already been a hit on Atlanta radio airwaves as voted top song choice by fans on WHTA’s Hot 107.9′s Battleground DJs for seven nights in a row. The song is also a hit in the club and amongst college partygoers in the Southeast-especially HBCUs.

ATLANTA, GA–(Marketwire – December 7, 2009) – Studio Clout Fine Art Gallery will exhibit a segment of The Paul R. Jones Collection of American Art, which, in its entirety, is one of the largest and most comprehensive art collections of 20th century African-American visual art in the world. Studio Clout will host a private reception to welcome Paul R. Jones’ personal art collection on December 12, 2009. This visual art exhibit will be opened to the public starting December 16, 2009.

“We are very proud, excited and humbled to house one of the most historic art collections in the country at our gallery,” said Linda Lima, owner and art curator at Studio Clout Fine Art Gallery located in the Castleberry Hill Arts District of Atlanta. The art collection was amassed throughout the last four decades by Jones, who has been described by Art & Antiques magazine as “one of the top art collectors in the country.”

The art collection originated from Jones’ discovery that many art museums he had visited held few works by African-American artists. Throughout the years, Jones’ home in Atlanta became too small to hold all his collected art work and after much consideration, Jones decided to donate major portions of his massive art collection to The University of Delaware and The University of Alabama.

“The Jones Collection is remarkable not only for the breadth and quality of African-American artists represented in it, but also because it brings together a body of artists who worked at a time in recent American history when African-American artists were not widely collected,” said Dr. Amalia Amaki, author and professor of art and art history.

Jones hopes that his collection will preserve the legacy of artists — especially African-American artists, spark the interest of future art collectors, and help elevate African-American art in the eyes of the art world. “I want to ensure that this genre of art, which is an intrinsic part of the history and totality of American art, is never lost or forgotten by the art world,” says Jones.
