BE A BEATLE IN A MOVIE!
"BEATexpo 2009," coming to the Downtown Stamford Holiday Inn in Stamford, CT on November 28-29, currently boasts a wonderful guest-list, some fine tribute bands, a memorabilia marketplace + other worthy convention attractions. Now the event has one other amazing element to it: a motion picture casting call! But not just any casting call, this is the national audition for the upcoming Fab Four film being produced by Disney. They are not looking for singers, as the film is using 16 original Beatles tracks, but they are seeking four actors to play the leads who resemble or can imitate, or have the mannerisms and idiosyncrasies of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr. Aspiring actors and hopefuls are invited to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a Beatle in what will undoubtedly be the biggest animated film of the year (it was previously reported that this was the 3-D remake of "Yellow Submarine").

the Dutch Top 2000, is broadcast every year in the last weeks of december by Radio 2. The listeners can vote for their favourite popsong ever; and that’s how the list is made. As long as the Top 2000 exists, Queen’s Bohemian Rapsody is number 1. My goal is to get the Beatles on top of the list. Is that possible? …Yes, a few years ago a group of fans of a Dutch sixties icon succeeded to pass Queen. My proposal to the Dutch fans and fans from overseas is to vote for Hey Jude; which is the most popular Beatles-song in the list (last year only a lousy sixteenth place). So vote, and if you think the Beatles should be on top, go to www.top2000.nl and vote for Hey Jude. Voting starts next monday, november 16th.Read More Radio 2 Top 2000 – hé´ radio-evenement van het jaar Source: www.top2000.nl
