Today is a birthday, I wonder for whom?
It must be for somebody right in this room
So look all around you for somebody who
Is smiling and happy, my goodness, it's you!
Happy Birthday Tina from all of us to you
Happy Birthday Tina, from all of us to you
We congratulate you, and hope all your sweet dreams come true


Have a wonderful Birthday with family & friends

Nutbush City Limits - You know the song! "A church house, gin house, schoolhouse, out house..." The historic schoolhouse that Tina Turner attended needs YOUR SUPPORT!

Fans wishing to honor Tina Turner on her birthday can do so by donating to this historic site and have your name included in a Birthday Card that will be delivered to Tina Turner by her personal assistant Rhonda Graam.

• Donate up to $19 to be included on the card.
• Donate $20 and up to include a personal note to Tina.
• Donate $50 and up to include a personal note and your name will also be listed on a plaque inside the school.
Tina Turner has supported this project since its inception. Why? Tina’s Great-Uncle Benjamin Flagg sold the land below value in the 1800's so that African-American children who were not able to attend white only schools could have a place to learn. Tina Turner herself benefited and also attended this school as a young girl with her sister Alline Bullock.

In addition to Tina Turner providing support and donating memorabilia from her personal life and decades long career to be displayed in the school, a private donor has promised $75,000 toward this project if matching funds are raised by January 1st, 2014.

Support this important cause and have Tina Turner know your name in the process. Click on this link to make your donation.

Hi everybody, Wednesday, 5 June 2013, Giorgio Armani will open a new boutique in Rome, Italy.

The event will be streamed live on the bespoke "pop-up" website which will feature exclusive video interviews, previews and backstage footage. With a bit of luck we can watch Tina live.

The event will start at 9 pm and this is the website where we can follow the event. One night Only

Hope to see Tina there! Thanks Johanna!

The ceremony will take place directly at the lake of Zürich. Food is provided by Chefs Rico Zandonella and Horst Petermann of Tina’s favorite restaurant ‘Rico’s Kunststuben’. And the dress-code: White. Tina and Erwin have been a couple for almost 27 years; they met in 1985. Because of Tina's jeep, she met Erwin for the first time. The German's came to LA and took Tina and Roger to dinner. Erwin was a record executive of Tina’s label EMI. In previous interviews, Tina has always said, she would never marry again. Erwin apparently proposed to her, which she turned down. Now, at the age of 73, it seems she regrets that previous decision. Both are ready for the next step in their lives. We wish them all the happiness and luck for the coming years.

The following message about Tina getting married with Erwin, was received by Tina Turner online. Thanks Johanna! This is what Regula Curti wrote to me: "YES, IT IS TRUE! GREAT NEWS. WARMEST REGARDS Regula Curti"

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open a groundbreaking and provocative new exhibit that will illustrate the important roles women have played in rock and roll, from its inception through today. Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power will highlight the flashpoints, the firsts, the best, the celebrated -- and sometimes lesser-known women -- who moved rock and roll music and the American culture forward.

The interactive exhibition will spotlight more than 70 artists and fill two entire floors of the museum. The exhibit will feature artifacts, video and listening stations, as well as a recording booth where visitors can film a short story or moment of inspiration related to women in rock. The exhibit will move through the rock and roll eras, weaving a powerful and engaging narrative that demonstrates how women have been the engines of creation and change in popular music, from the early years of the 20th century to the present.

Featured in the Revolution, the Counterculture and the Pill: The Late 1960s era of the Women Who Rock exhibit, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tina Turner’s collection includes her Versace Silver Diamante Dress from “Wildest Dreams” Tour, 1996 – 97; her red mesh lace dress from the “Private Dancer” video; and the LP picture sleeve picture sleeve of Dynamite!

U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey kept a 6-year-old promise Tuesday and opened a school for impoverished South African girls south of Johannesburg.

In 2000, Winfrey pledged $10 million for the facility for 150 girls to former President Nelson Mandela, but has since spent $40 million on the school in Henry-on-Klip, southwest of the capital, South Africa's Independent Online reported. The school will eventually have 450 students, the BBC said. Mandela attended the opening, along with singers Tina Turner and Mariah Carey, as well as actors Sidney Poitier, Chris Tucker and director Spike Lee.

The school sits on 50 acres, and has 28 buildings that house hi-tech classrooms, computers and science laboratories, the BBC said. Winfrey reportedly personally interviewed many of the 3,500 applicants from families whose incomes are less than $700 per month, the report said. The school will open for classes on Friday.
