Paul Whiteman

Pal Whiteman died at the age of 77 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. In March 2005, at the first Australian MTV Music Awards in Sydney's Luna Park, she spoofed Janet Jackson's 2004 wardrobe malfunction by pulling down her dress to reveal both breasts, each covered with the MTV logo. After he disbanded his Orchestra, in the 1940s and 1950s Whiteman worked as a music director for the ABC Radio Network. Eventually, the cameras had to move away to prevent showing her behavior during the presentation while she was taken backstage. This incident would later become comedic material for the rest of the presenters to comment on and became part of the news the next day [2] (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/11/16/earlyshow/leisure/celebspot/main655962.shtml). In 1931, Whiteman married motion picture actress Margaret Livingston. This led her to start making barely understandable comments about her body and TrimSpa among other subjects. Bing Crosby got his start singing with the Whiteman Orchestra. Tabloids speculate that she was under the influence of pills or another controlled substance.

While Whiteman gave them very limited chances to improvise, he paid them top salaries and encouraged them to make small band jam recordings on the side. However, she went on stage experiencing a personal problem of some sort (or pulling a publicity stunt). Whiteman appreciated jazz musicians and hired many of the best white jazz men for his band, including Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, Steve Brown, Gussie Mueller, Jack Teagarden, and Bunny Berigan. In November 2004, she was invited as a presenter to the American Music Awards show. Whiteman commissioned George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, which was premiered by Whiteman's Orchestra with Gershwin at the piano in 1924. In October, 2003, she became a spokesperson for TrimSpa, which helped her to reportedly lose 30 lb (14 kg). Whiteman claimed that he was "making a lady out of jazz". Her height is 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m).

While it is easy to sneer at Whiteman in retrospect, his notions were critically popular and commercially successful at the time, and Whiteman's music was often the first jazz of any form that some people heard. She replied, “fried chicken”. While today most fans of jazz consider improvisation to be essential to the musical style, Whiteman thought it sloppy and uncouth, and thought the music could be improved by eliminating it, except occasionally in elaborate arrangements. In an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien she was asked what her “Playmate diet” consisted of. Others reject thses notions, and regard Whiteman's music as an interesting development in jazz history. The show was finally cancelled in February 2004, due to “creative differences”, but has retained some life in reruns and on DVD. In the late 1920s and early 1930s Whiteman billed himself as The King of Jazz (see: Jazz royalty), though much of what his band played hasn't been considered "true" jazz by later generations. However, it achieved a kind of camp or cult status as many fans found humor in Smith's absurd and arguably stupid antics.

In 1920 he moved his band to New York City where they started making recordings for Victor Records which propelled Whiteman and his band to national prominence. The Anna Nicole Show focused on her personal and private life in the manner of other “reality” shows such as the recent hit The Osbournes. He started out as a classical violinist and violist, then started leading a jazz-influenced dance band which became locally popular in San Francisco, California in 1918. She was relegated to appearing in low budget soft core porn films until 2002, when she was given her own reality TV series on the E! cable television network.
