Dig into a delicious second helping of Pushing Daisies, the multiple Emmyr Award-winning series. In the second and final season, Ned (Lee Pace) and his alive-again love Chuck (Anna Friel) have more on the menu when family skeletons both literal and figurative loom over the Pie Hole and its patrons. As jockey-cum-waitress Olive Snook (Emmyr award winner Kristin Chenoweth) joins a nunnery to mend her broken heart, the Pie Maker who broke it hides Chuck from her Aunt Vivian (Ellen Greene) and mother Lily (Swoozie Kurtz), who believe she's dead. Naturally, this results in resurrecting Chuck's father, who actually was dead. Private Investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) has daddy issues of his own when his baby-stealing baby-mania finds herself at the center of a murder case. Narrating the proceedings is Jim Dale, who has won countless fans and two Grammy awards for the audiobooks of the Harry Potter series. The show's devoted fans have long been clamoring for this second season soundtrack, and we're happy at last to make Jim Dooley's charming and whimsical score available on CD. Season 2 of Pushing Daisies is available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

The Haiti Project

'Symphony of Hope' is a musical fundraising project which was originally designed to help the people of Haiti in their desperate time of need. A year after the terrible earthquake which has destroyed the lives of thousands of Haitians, the need for assistance is even greater than ever. 'Symphony of Hope' is a collaboration by 25 of today's leading Oscar, Tony, Grammy and Emmy winning composers to benefit Haiti Earthquake Relief. The 'Symphony of Hope' begins with an original Haitian melody, then each composer contributes an additional 8-32 bars of music to the piece and then passes it along to the next composer. This is symbolic in the way that one lending hand passes on to another lending hand and so on and eventually a beautiful outcome is derived. 

The Haiti Project' will be recording on March 26, 2011 at the Warner Brothers Eastwood Scoring Stage, in Burbank, CA. With the incredible talents of 90 AFM Local 47 studio musicians, as well as a 60-person choir, the five-part symphony which has been worked on for over a year will finally come to life 

The composers involved are: 

Nathan Barr, Tyler Bates, Jeff Beal, Christophe Beck, Bruce Broughton, George S. Clinton, Elia Cmiral, Don Davis, John Debney, Randy Edelman, Andrew Gross, Dave Grusin, Marvin Hamlisch, David Kitay, Christopher Lennertz, Deborah Lurie, Lisbeth Scott, Pete Seibert, Theodore Shapiro, Ed Shearmur, John Swihart, Brian Tyler, Michael Wandmacher, Timothy Michael Wynn, and Christopher Young
