Kristine W "Just a Lie"


KRISTINE W PREPARES TO UNLEASH HER “ISSUES”
With New Single, “Just a Lie,” Out Now

Kristine W returns to the dance floor with Love and Lies, the first part of her three-episode Issues double-album that includes the #1 single Stars” and her brand new single, “Just a Lie”. Being distributed globally through The Orchard, all eight songs on Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies deal with love in its complexities: the deception from others as well as the lies we tell ourselves. “Just a Lie,” the album’s second single, releases today.  The song was originally about death and the loss felt by those left behind, but it morphed into the single it is today after Kristine experienced a painful divorce.  “I realize now how similar divorce is to a death,” she explains.  “The grieving is intense.  It’s mourning the loss of the relationship, the breakup of the family, the betrayal, the time invested; so many things.  I was with my husband for a long time and we worked through so many challenges, I initially assumed we’d find our way through his infidelity, but what starts as just a lie sometimes grows into a tornado of betrayal and sometimes it’s best to just let go and let God guide you to your next chapter in life.”  Kristine W’s “Just a Lie” is available now on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/episode-one-love-and-lies/1480309972) and all digital retailers via Kristine’s own imprint, Fly Again Music Productions.  The Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies album will be available February 2020; available for pre-order now.  

“Learning there was a third person in our marriage turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg,” Kristine W reflects.  “There were layers of deceit including my ex leveraging our family home to purchase a house for his other family.”

“My friends have been rocks for me during this hard time,” she continues.  “Also, my kids have been incredibly supportive and so strong.  They serve as reminders that while the marriage may have given me the biggest heart break I would deal with in life, it also gave me my two greatest blessings in the world: my beautiful son and daughter.”


“Just a Lie” was produced in Amsterdam by Bob Sandee / Subgroover aka Crossnaders and they manage to give the emotional track a very cool, progressive, funky electro house vibe.  “I love the unique sound of the track,” Kristine says.  “The Bass line, in particular, is infectious.”   
Kristine W hails from Pasco, Washington. After winning titles as Miss Tri-Cities and Miss Washington and placing first in the talent competition at the Miss America pageant, she went on to pursue her educational and musical dreams in Las Vegas. There, she found success headlining her own show at the Las Vegas Hilton, winning several 'Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year' awards and being officially sanctioned as the entertainer who performed more live shows at the Las Vegas Hilton than any other performer in its history, including Elvis. The award led to June 28th being officially sanctioned Kristine W day in the state of Nevada.

She began recording pop and dance tracks in 1994.  Her first track, “Feel What You Want” reached #1 and since then, Kristine W has had a steady flow of chart toppers.  Her latest single, “Stars” became her 17th Billboard #1.  She now ties Mariah Carey for the sixth-most No. 1s since the chart’s August 28, 1976, inception. Madonna leads the chart with 46.
It’s been five years since the release of Kristine W’s last full-length album, New & Number Ones.  The 13-track album included re-edited versions of six of her classic songs as well as hit single “Everything That I Got”, “So Close to Me”, and “Love Come Home.” 


Divorce is not Kristine’s first life struggle.  She is a leukemia survivor, celebrating 15 years in remission this year.  She is also a survivor of the music industry that melted as a result of the digital revolution; a battle she counts as her biggest feat in life.   “Frankly, it has been a lot of work,” she concedes, “but I firmly believe in the power of music and it has certainly helped me through the toughest episodes of life.”

The three episodes of Issues are intended to take listeners on a journey, with songs relating to the subject of each episode.  Following Issues Episode 1: Love and LiesIssues Episode 2: Struggles will deal with life’s battles including those associated with relationships, work, time management and self-esteem.  Then, Issues Episode 3: Redemption will celebrate life's small victories.  All thirty tracks of Issues will be released as a double album in early 2021.
“Life is about love and loss with fabulous triumphs and heart wrenching experiences,” Kristine W attests. “No one is getting through this journey unscathed.  We need to be there for each other with a sympathetic ear always remembering what may appear as ‘Just a Lie’ is likely more significant and complicated for the person going through it.”

Kristine W’s “Just a Lie” is available now on all digital retailers via Kristine’s own imprint, Fly Again Music Productions.  The Issues Episode 1: Love and Lies album will be available February 2020; available for pre-order now. Fly Again Music is a diversified entertainment company devoted to producing, uncovering and revitalizing the very best of dance, pop and jazz culture.  For more information on Kristine W and her music, visit http://kristinew.com.

Who's Your Daddy???

Let's Pretend We're Married
Nikki Bella & John Cena
Alright Total Bellas watchers, file this under - "I'm so not surprised" John Cena is now stating that he wants to be a Daddy.

This has to be one of the most transparent, not to mention lame PR Stunts ever. Seriously did we all not see this coming? First he is gun shy about marriage then proposes to long time love Nikki Bella, then he doesn't want children and they "break-up"...As If?!

Cut to him now wanting kids. He always did my magpies, I'm not sure what the Total Point is here when a PR Stunt is this obvious it really has no point. "Yes" I know I am addressing it's inanity so perhaps I am feeding into it. But if any of you took this load of garbage at face value you may want to consult with someone about that.

Time for Michael to dance & sing, get up and do his thing.

Talk About Bum Cakes

Sharon Stone at 57!
Mark Abrahams/Harper's BAZAAR
"I'm aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks" - Sharon Stone, Harper's Bazaar Magazine

One of my favorite actresses and boundary pushers Sharon Stone suffered a serious cerebral hemorrhage in 2001 - Thus resulting her marriage at the time falling apart and loss of the custody of her son Rowan. When she walked out of the hospital she didn't recall how to read which makes acting way more difficult since there are lines to be memorized.

She could not even remember her lines during her guest stint on Law & Order: SVU.

That did not stop the Stone from staging an epic comeback that includes her interview in Harper's Bazaar with a nude, that's right nude, photo shoot.

Sharon looks amazing at 57, and by the way your ass is looking more rock hard than like a bag of flapjacks, just sayin'!

Glad to have you coming back I've missed me some Sharon Stone.

Andie MacDowell Gets XXL

Andie MacDowell Feels Up Matt Bomer
Oh My!
Since the Supreme Court has declared Marriage Equality in all fifty nifty United States. I thought to myself, let's celebrate the love by posting this image of the eternally beautiful Andie MacDowell getting hands on familiar with a life size poster of her openly gay co-star Matt Bomer at the Magic Mike XXL premiere in Hollywood.

Hey nothing says equality like a straight woman copping a feel off a gay man in my opinion. It's safe and no one gets hurt.

Have a terrific weekend!

Shocker, Not Really: Melanie Griffith & Antonio Banderas Split

Griffith & Banderas
Well, at least they are not consciously uncoupling, and think that water has feelings...
"We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty years marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together" - Melanie & Antonio
It's been a long time coming in this writer's estimation, and I hear the split is amicable, one of the most unlikely couples in Hollywood to ever get married are calling it quits. You've got to give it to them they lasted eighteen years.
Here's the 411: The famous duo have been married for 18 years and have one daughter together, Stella, who turns 18 in the fall.
Griffith has cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending her marriage to the Spanish actor and is asking for spousal support.

Best to both of you.
