Netflix is having a free concert and screening of the Wizard of Oz in Central Park tonight at 7:30 pm.  The concert will feature performances by Jennifer Hudson, Questlove with the Roots and DWTS Julianne Hough.  Click here for more details.

Binside TV had the pleasure of hearing Ashanti’s beautiful voice at a Gala event at Tavern on the Green to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Wizard of OZ. Ashanti hit all the high notes and proved she could sing when she belted out her version of a classic Wizard of Oz tune. The songstress then sang one of her songs from her album “The Declaration.”

The special Blueray DVD edition of the movie with tons of extras is now available.  We were excited to see the gigantic hot air balloon.

Five of the six surviving Munchkins also came to the special launch which also featured a live performance by Judy Garland’s daughter Lorna Luft.

Famous shoe designers like  Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Stuart Weizman and Betsy Johnson reinterpreted Dorothy’s iconic ruby red slippers for a charity auction to benefit Elizabeth Glazer’s Pediatric Aids Foundation. Ashanti was mesmerized by a pair of shoes by up and coming designer Kaddie Lam.
