Ben Stiller gets it!
He jumped into social media feet first, started swimming and never stopped.
As you may recall, I have spoken about the amazing value of celebrity personal brands, http://tinyurl.com/krep56 and yet so few seem to utilize this opportunity.
Ben Stiller does. Joining his comedic expertise, and leveraging his high-profile personal brand (not to mention his celebrity relationships) he is doing a solid job, and seems to be having fun in the process.
Fans are enjoying it too.

Stiller: There’s Something About Twitter
Ben recruits pals for videos that mock – and embrace – social media
By JERE HESTER
Updated 1:34 AM PDT, Fri, Aug 28, 2009
In Mickey Rooney‘s hey day as the nation’s biggest box office star some 70 years ago, his most famous movies centered around him rallying pals to put on a show, usually in a barn.
Rooney, who is pushing 90, recently was recruited for another kind of impromptu let’s-put-on-a-show production – by Ben Stiller, who is churning out homemade videos satirizing social media.
In a hilarious YouTube short posted a couple weeks ago, Stiller tries to explain Twitter to a dumbfounded Rooney. “You find this fun and interesting?” he asks Stiller. “It’s not wholesome.”
On Tuesday, Stiller debuted a new video in which he lures Ryan Seacrest to a meeting under the pretense of discussing co-starring in a “bromance” movie – and instead asks for a “shoutout” to help him get more Twitter followers.
“I don’t even talk to anybody that has less than 900,000 followers,” the “American Idol” host and popular tweeter snaps. “Call Al Yankovic.”
Stiller, who also chronicled the debut of his Facebook page in a video, is among the comic stars of his generation who are mocking – yet tacitly embracing – social media.
Conan O’Brien’s “Twitter Tracker” gag, which lampoons celebrity tweets, is one of the breakout bits from his nascent “Tonight Show” reign. Stephen Colbert tweets in the voice of his blowhard conservative character. “The amount of Twitter followers is directly proportional to your patriotic manliness,” reads one typical post.
The efforts show a sharp and timely comic sensibility, as well as a grudging respect for the power and reach of social media.
No less an authority than Sean (Diddy) Combs preaches that cultivating fans through social media is crucial to celebrity success. “The game has changed,” Combs told Reuters this month. “You have to understand how to be able to brand yourself… you need to have a great Facebook page”
While Twitter has proven a valuable source of serious information, most notably in distributing reports about the political turmoil in Iran, it’s content is increasingly entertainment driven, judging from the trending topics, Mashable notes. There’s also a growing belief in Hollywood that instant word of mouth on Twitter can determine whether some movies sink or swim at the box office.
Stiller’s videos mark an attempt to forge a direct connection with the fans he’s hoping will keep buying tickets for his movies, by giving them a few free laughs. The folks at Twitter are in on the joke, and are perhaps laughing hardest. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone posted the Stiller-Seacrest short on the site’s blog Wednesday.
Rooney, meanwhile, is riding the social media wave into entertainment history: His mass media career has taken him from silent movies to YouTube stardom. “There’s always more to learn,” he told Stiller.
Check out Stiller’s videos and see what the all the twittering’s about.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s brother-in-law, Vishal Kirti, has provided a rebuttal to feedback made by Rhea Chakraborty in her current interviews. Vishal, who’s married to Sushant’s sister Shweta, started with the disclaimer that he’s basing his opinions on conversations with different members of the family, and shouldn’t be talking on behalf of Sushant’s father.
Rhea, who has been accused of abetting Sushant’s suicide and misappropriating his funds, in a number of tv interviews earlier this week spoke for the primary time in regards to the case. Sushant died on June 14.
Rejecting Rhea’s allegation that the household didn’t assist Sushant when his psychological well being declined, Vishal wrote in his weblog that whereas he’s a ‘champion’ of psychological well being consciousness, he believes that within the case of Sushant’s death, the angle is getting used as a ‘cover-up’. He defended his sisters-in-law, who in accordance with Rhea didn’t keep again on the resort the place all of them met, regardless of Sushant exhibiting worrying indicators. Vishal wrote, “The real story is that though Sushant got his and his sisters’ tickets booked for Chandigarh (since he wanted to go back with them), he ultimately succumbed to the blackmailing tactics of the conspirators and got his tickets cancelled.”
He mentioned that the narrative modified after a drug angle was launched within the case. The Enforcement Directorate, in its investigations into the monetary features of the case, discovered there to be a drug side as well. The Narcotics Control Bureau quickly launched its personal probe.
Calling the concept that Sushant was smoking weed and not Rhea ‘hogwash’, Vishal wrote, “Even if we accept for a moment that it was Sushant who was doing it, what kind of partner procures drugs for their loved ones when the accused is claiming that she has never done drugs in her life. It means one of the two things. Either the accused was pushing drugs on Sushant (proving the FIR charges) or it was the accused who was doing the drugs.” Rhea in an interview to India Today had claimed that Sushant used to smoke marijuana, and that she was attempting her greatest to get him to cease.
Rhea additionally claimed that Sushant’s relationship along with his father was all the time strained, and that they hadn’t met for 5 years earlier than she entered Sushant’s life. Vishal narrated a narrative that he claimed would discredit Rhea’s statements. He wrote, “The real story is that my father-in-law went to Delhi to live with Sushant and Priyanka Di while Sushant was attending a high school in Delhi and Priyanka Di was in college. To me, this is a sign of a father dedicated to his children’s education. My wife was attending high school in the best school in Patna and my late mother-in-law stayed back in Patna so that my wife could finish her schooling. All I can see is middle class parents making sacrifices to expose their children to the best opportunities and as a matter of fact Sushant’s father was living with him and supporting him.”

In August of 2019, Zoë Robins was announced as the Wisdom of Emonds Field. Nynaeve al'Meara is one of the leading roles in Amazon Prime's "The Wheel of Time" television series. Here is why Robins is the Wisdom.
Zoë Robins is probably best known for her role as the White Power Ranger in the "Power Rangers Ninja Steel" TV series.
She was in the show for two seasons from 2017-2018. The following clip show's her acting ability a bit more than the above one.
Not many Nynaeve vibes there, but the acting isn't terrible. She did gain some valuable experience acting opposite an expressionless(stonefaced) actor, which should come in handy.
Robins was also in two episodes(Utopia and Breakline) of the first season of "The Shannara Chronicles" where she played Zora the Elf Hunter.
Other credits include The New Tomorrow (2005), The Killian Curse (2006), Shortland Street (2016), The Finest (2018), The Brokenwood Mysteries (2019) and Black Christmas (2019).
Below is an interview with TV NZ from earlier in the year(May 2020) when the show was shutdown for Covid, in which Robin's talks about the Wheel of Time show.
I love doing fantasy too, and my character Zora is so much cooler than I am! Haha! I had to have archery training for that which was a lot of fun.
What role made her want to act
It was Dakota Fanning in a role.. it may have been in I am Sam or Charlotte’s Webb - I can’t actually remember the specifics. But I do remember watching her and thinking “Oh that’s it. That’s the thing I want to do.”
Zoë is Nynaeve
While none of Robins previous roles scream Nynaeve or inspire huge amounts of confidence, some of her photos do have the look and the water challenge video perhaps gives us glimpses of the Wisdom. She certainly seems capable of pulling off the hypocritical comic relief of Nynaeve with a straight face.
Whether or not she will be able to nail the braid tug and step up her game to the level we all expect from Nynaeve, we'll have to WAFO!

The Mechanics of Believability was conceived over 40 years ago out of the work of a group of actors who called themselves “The Gym” and has been continuously developed and updated to meet the needs of our ever-changing business. The business changed by reducing and eliminating rehearsal. Although actors have been robbed of preparation time, they still need a consistent way of working to allow their talent to shine through. The masters identified the creative art form but it is The Mechanics of Believability that offers reliable, tangible tools based on the human design to support the philosophies of the masters.

CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA: BEEF OR LOVE?
I don't get it, but it seems like Chris Brown and Rihanna are getting back together OR they hate each other. Weird that these two are either hooking up or hating again. The first rumor is that RiRi and CB linked up last weekend and they got together for an hour-long dinner. Apparently, this was the result of several texts and whatever.


As I was consumed within exams and assignments, I missed three award shows (although one will air on TV tonight) within one weekend. This was one weekend ago. Although I missed the award shows you know I couldn’t miss the fashion and as late as I am I couldn’t miss the opportunity to share with you my favorite looks of that weekend. So once again, I present to you my (not-so-timely) Weekend in Review.
Chris Brown went for a casual jeans and tee look. His jacket was what stood out to me and of course, would stand out to anyone with it's neon pink and green colors. The jacket definitely pulls his look together and makes his casual look more appropriate for an award show.
I've never associated Iggy with being a style icon. But lately she's been showing people another side of her as her outfits scream I can do fashion too. I love the combo of the mesh top along with her vest. I'm going to need to add something similar to this in my closet, but with less boob cleavage. I love the way her top and shoes complement the print in her pants and bring out the black.
Zendaya went for the same color scheme as Chris as she sported a green top with high neckline and cutouts on the side, along with pink bandeau. She added a zebra print (which incorporate other prints) skirt and pink stilettos to match her bandeau. Zendaya has been experimenting with her style a lot lately. Not many people would be able to pull of this quirky look.
Traci Ross Ellis went for a simple, yet elegant look. Her white and metallic dress looks amazing on her. Not many people can pull of a long slit that stops mid-thigh or a one shoulder look, not to mention combining the both together.
Oh Janelle, I just adore Janelle Monae's style. She went for a complimentary two piece look- a black and white crop top along with a midi striped skirt. She made a great choice in throwing on her red floral print coat before she walked out the door. She looks fabulous! I also love that she's natural and rocking her curls.
The founder of Black Girls Rock, Beverly Bond made a grand statement with this Cinderella blue dress. What better way to show that Black Girls Rock than using her dress to poke towards African Americans being (Disney) princesses too. I didn't know who she was, but her dress made me make a double take and find out. Although it is hard to see the dress seems to have a holographic-metallic sheen, which I love.


Great Actors Who Become Politicians - From Hollywood To Washington
As the elections in 2024 approach, the political climate in the United States is heating up; therefore, it's time to recognize those fellow actors who become politiciansand made move from Hollywood to Washington.
Many actors today have their fingers in a variety of pies, whether they are directing, writing cookbooks, producing albums, or even breaking into the realm of professional wrestling.
And a surprising number of them made the decision to leave Hollywood and, with varied degrees of success, represent the common guy in politics. Let's begin with the greatest and crazy stories of actors who become politicians, you can also read another celebrities storiesin Hooksite.
The actor Ronald Reagan served as governor of California before becoming POTUSin 1981, making him without a doubt the most well-known performer-turned-politician in history. Reagan worked on several movies during a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers Studios prior to entering politics.
He also served in the U.S. Army Air Force's Motion Picture Unit and served as the Screen Actors Guild's president from 1947 to 1960, a period of seven years.
In 1947, Lodge, a star of stage and cinema in the 1930s and 1940s ("Little Women," "The Scarlet Empress"), entered the U.S. House of Representatives and established a new career for himself.
After serving as Connecticut's governor from 1951 to 1955, he spent the following three decades serving as the United States' ambassador to Switzerland, Argentina, and Spain.
Murphy, a star of countless musical films during the early years of talking pictures, came before Reagan and Lodge. Murphy served as SAG President from 1944 to 1946 and received an honorary Oscar in 1950 for "services in explaining the cinema business to the country at large."
Murphy, a Republican from California who was elected to the Senate in 1964, is the only senator to date to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
This 1920s Broadway performer made history when she became the first Democratic woman to be elected to Congress from the state of California. She was also the star of the 1935 picture "She."
From 1945 to 1951, she was a member of the US House of Representatives, where she worked to advance civil rights for women. She unsuccessfully ran for the U.S. Senate in 1950, but not before giving Richard Nixon the famous moniker "Tricky Dick."
Grandy, who was a well-known sitcom actor in the 1970s and 1980s and appeared frequently on "Maude" and "The Love Boat" as Gopher, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986 and served there for four terms. In 1994, he ran for governor of Iowa but was narrowly defeated. Grandy recently appeared as an actor in Season 3 of "The Mindy Project."
Although Jerry Springeris best known for being the host of the outrageous "The Jerry Springer Show," he has also starred as an actor on numerous TV programs and on Broadway in "The Rocky Horror Show" and "Chicago." Before he became a talk show host, Springer ran America's most embarrassing (but most memorable) TV show from 1977 to 1978.
Jones had a second career as a Democrat representing Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives. Jones was once known as Cooter on the enduring television series "The Dukes of Hazzard." Jones was in office from 1989 to 1993. In 1994, he quit and went back to acting, writing, and other activities.
Nobody could have predicted that this legendary child actor would one day have a following that extended far beyond her numerous family movies.
The famous ringlet-wearing, tap-shoe-donning star of the 1930s and 1940s took a break from the entertainment industry around 1950 and started working for the UN General Assembly in 1969. In 1974, she became the 18th Chief of Protocol for the United States. After that, she served as the country's ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
This four-time Oscar winnerm two for directing has been a cinematic legend for decades and is a reputable politician. In addition to being named to the California State Park and Recreation Commission in 2001 and the California Film Commission in 2004, Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1986.
Schwarzenegger, known as "The Governator," shocked fans by putting his acting career on hold to serve as California's 38th governor from 2003 to 2011. Gray Davis was famously kicked out of office, and the former Mr. Universe was chosen to replace him. In 2006, he was re-elected.
The techniques actors use to persuade have incredibly potent applications in the corporate world. These abilities are not only necessary for leadership; they are also valuable. Like great actors, successful business leaders must speak with conviction, convey meaning, and establish inspiring precedents.
Ronald Reagan, a former politician, and actor, became the 40th President of the United States. He was in office from 1981 to 1989.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, an Austrian-American actor, producer of motion pictures, businessman, former bodybuilder, and politician, was the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011. He was born on July 30, 1947.
That concludes our list of Celebrities great actors who become politicians. have a distinct advantage in politics because of their propensity for attention and high levels of name recognition. In politics, getting recognized is the first step toward winning a political campaign.
It goes without saying that performers would transition into politics, and those are only a few examples. Do you think it's a good idea for actors to run for office? Unless they want to stop making movies.


You may remember her from a Pretz commercial for Glico.
Born in Mexico, this Japanese singer/model/drummer used to work under her real name ‘Yuuna Shishido’. Although she went to elementary school in Japan, she spent her middle school years in Argentina because of her father’s work. She doesn’t keep very good memories of those years, mostly due to the fact that she didn’t speak the language.
To make life easier for her, her parents bought her a drum set when she was 14 and hired nuevo tango legend Ástor Piazzolla’s nephew, professional drummer Daniel Piazzolla, a world famous jazz-tango musician, as her coach. Back to Japan, she started playing with bands during high school, and by the time she entered university, she was part of 8 different bands.
In 2004, she became the third drummer of THE NEWS, an all-girl Japanese rock band. She quit the band after 4 years when she started her modeling career, but at the same time kept playing drums for different artists such as PANTA and Diamond☆Yukai.
In 2005, she was approached by music producers when she accompanied a friend to an audition. They wanted her to debut as a singer, but 5 years passed before an interesting project was developed. During that time, she has stopped playing drums and concentrated on her singing, but her producers eventually suggested she sings while playing drums. That sealed the deal: doing something she was finally comfortable with, she turned singer/drummer for her current project. (http://shishido-kavka.com/)
Here’s a short compilation of some of her songs:
What attracted her to drums was the gap between the fact that although drummers supports their whole band, more often than not, no matter how theatrical or showy they are, lead singers and guitars are usually the ones in the spotlight. This resonated with her feelings: even if she couldn’t become the leading part, she wanted to shine and stand out. But of course all this is in the past since she is now both the drummer and the center of her band.
Oh! and I forgot to add that she plays barefooted. Very sexy!

Close up video of Chris Messina talking about working with Al Pacino at the Venice Film Festival.
I wrote the following on a reblog of the other clip of this answer, but it still applies:
I love when Messina goes all actor/film geek. He’s quiet normally in group interviews but when he does speak it’s always so thoughtful and interesting. He just has a lot of integrity and love for what he does and it shows. I see what he’s talking about and how he applies it to the Mindy Project. That commitment and dedication, regardless the genre, is what makes him such a great and respectable actor. It also, undoubtedly, is a major contributing force as to why we all love Danny Castellano so much.
You can also see how kind and generous he is, just as he describes Al Pacino, in the way he interacts with fans and I’m sure his fellow actors.
I’m so unbelievably happy for Chris Messina. He deserves all this success and more.
Also I’d love to see him on Inside the Actor’s Studio
Danny Castellano + being vulnerable


So even though we had to wait 4 hours WITH priority tickets… we did get front row and then when they FINALLY came on stage, after all the ‘free extra work’ by the crowd and tons of footage shot for Jimmy Kimmel… Van Halen started to play PANAMA. First time ever on live TV with David Lee Roth. He was rather excited and smacked himself pretty hard somehow during the first song, (right after spinning it like mad…I was worried being so close) such that they had to do a ‘RE-Do’ not something live shows allow normally, but since it was TV, it’s OKAY I guess?
I wish Eddie would have rocked out more here, but it was probably confusing to them what was going on. He should be proud of how tight he and his brother and son Wofgang on Bass – now he replaced Michael Anthony…who I saw SING ‘Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love (I’ll post it soon) at NAMM at the Peavey 50th anniversary party with Lynyrd Skynyrd as his back up band! How things evolve….
Here’s the official video of ‘take 2’
My awesome LA rocker chick babe friends Lisa and Josi where on hand. Here’s some of the footage and pics..
Here’s ‘Running With The Devil’ Official Live Version:

I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends! MAC has a very clear aesthetic, that has always felt fashion forward to me," She has been known to wear MAC and even for the Grammys she had on 2 different lip colors to make that unique shade. I’m not really a big fan of her look but I do love a bold lip! I can’t wait to see what they came up with and I am sure that it will sell out!!

This video has resurfaced recently so I thought I should conserve it here for posterity. Elvis Presley appeared on the Steve Allen show in 1956. Since he was singing ‘Hound Dog’, they brought on a basset hound for him to sing to (I read it was an attempt to make Elvis’s hips fit for family viewing.)
When asked how it had felt to work with The King*, Sherlock replied:
Which pretty much sums it up.
*Obviously, I made this bit up.

“Repetition is a mother of learning”


boys clothing: British royalty--Princess Beatrice
Queen Victoria's last child was Beatrice and was referred to as "Baby" in the family. Victoria was inchanted with her youngest child. Unfortunately the Queen never wanted her daughter to leave her. Beatrice was the first member of her family, but not the last, to run afoul of the future Kaiser Wilhelm II. A daugter of Beatrice mairred Alfonso XIII of Spain.
Beatrice was Victoria and Albert's last child.
Albert was the born into the royal family of a small German principality. He was stictly raised and very well educated. His mairrage to Victoria brought him to the throne of the most powerful country of the day. He was only the Prince Consort and not a co-ruler with his wife. His advise to his poorly educated wife, however, was of great value to England, especially his advise that England not support the South in the American Civil War. He took the education of their children very seriously--especially heir, the future Edward VII very seriously. Despite the attention given to the care and education of the children. Albert's untimely death devestated the Victoria.
Queen Victoria was Britain's longest serving monarch. Her mairrage with Albert was the love story of the 19th century. She set the moral tone of the nation and helped shape Britain's emergence as a truly democratic nation. Victoria witnessed an extrodinary development of British power and influence. She and Albert changed how Britain's looked on their monarch. She became in many ways the gramdmother of Europe, forging dynastic ties
throughout the Continent. She also played a major role in influencing boys clothing around the world by the garments she selected for the young princes.
Beatrice was born at Buckingham Palace in 1857, only 4 years before her father's death. It is likely that her life would have been quite different if Albert has not died at such a young age. Her formal name was Princess Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodora Wettin.
Victoria and Albert had nine children, four boys and five girls. They saw themselves and in many ways were suitably enough an ideal Victorian family. The mairrages and offspring of
these children are truely remarkable. Victoria in more than name was the grandmother of
Europe. Ties were forged with Denmark, Prussia and other German states, Russia, and
Spain. Notably France was exepted from Victoria's dynastic web.
Victoria was delighted with the baby and her letters to Vicky describe the joy she got out of playing with the child. It was only 4 years, however, before the death of the Prince Consort Albert and the dramatic change in the life of the children. Victoria later wrote, Beatrice was the only thing I think I feel keeps me alive. As the baby of the family she was doted on. In fact baby became her knickname among the family.
Beatrice was the first member of her family, but not the last, to run afoul of the future Kaiser Wilhelm II. Beatrice was Wilhelm's aunt, butvonly a few years younger than him. Beatrice's sister Victoria brought Wilhelm along with her when she came to Britain for the Prince of Wales wedding. Wilhelm by all accounts out did himself with naughty behavior. He through Beatrice's muff from the cairrage. For the wedding itself, Wilhelm was done up in a kilt costume and was intrgued with the dirk (dagger) in his kneesocks. When he started playing with it, Beatrice tried unsuccessfully to get him to behave. She reportedly wanted him to refer to her as "Aunt Beatrice". As she was only a few years older than him, he objected. By this time he had picked up the fact that within the family she was called "Baby". He then told her, "... alright, I will call you Aunt Baby". [Van der Kriste]
Unfortunately the esquisite child grew into a lonely, sad, and repressed woman. She was not allowed to be in a room with a man unless she was accompanied. When she told her mother she had fallen in love, the Queen stopped talking to her. Beatrice stayed home with her mother all her life, eve after her mairrage.
Prince Henry's father was Alexander of the Rhine von Hessen, Prince of Hesse (1823- ). His mother was Princess Juia of Batteberg (1825- ) who was born a commoner. Prince Henry Maurice was born in 1858. He fell in love with Princess Beatrice, Queen Victoria's youngest daughter. Queen Victoria was horrified at the idea as she had planned for Princess Beatrice to stay by her as she grew older. Another account indicates the queen had hoped that Beatrice would marry Henry's brother Louis. [Vickers, p. 11.] Apparently the Princess was not to happy with that arrangement. Prince Henry found an unexpected ally in the Princess of Wales who was not normally fond of Germans, even members of the family. [Battiscombe, p. 173.] Another Battenburg, Prince Louis married
Princess Victoria Alberta of Hesse in 1884. She was the daughter of Louis IV of Hesse on the German side. She was a grand daughter of Queen Victoria and daughter of Princess Alice on the English side and rose to First Sea Lord by the time of World War I.
The matter was resolved when the Prince agreed that he and Princess Beatrice would live the Queen. They were mairred at Whippingham Church on the Isle of Wight in 1885. The marriage further linked the Hessian and British royal family. Princess Beatrice's elder sister Princess Alice had married Grand Duke Louis IV. Princess Beatrice's marriage occurred about the same time the affair between his brother Alexander and Princess Victoria, Princess Beatrice's niece, was unwinding. The mairrage was criticised both in England and Prussia.
Even Beatrice's marriage to Prince Henry did not remove her from Victoria's side. A painfully shy person, Princess Beatrice was known to rest her shoulder against her neighbor's at dinner. Queen Victoria, however, became quite attached to Prince Henry. His name in the family was "Liko".
The marriage ended tragically. Prince Henry participated as a volunteer in the Ashanti Expeditionary Force to Sierra Leone where he contracted malaria. The Prince died at sea in 1896 while returning home. Princess Beatrice was devastated by her husband's death. The Queen was also devesated as she had come to rely on Prince Henry.
Princecess Beatrice and Prince Henry had four children. After her mother's death in 1901, the widowed Beatrice lived for her children, principally her daughter, Victoria Eugenie. Mother and daughter shared much in common and, significantly, both were transmitters of hemophilia, as became tragically known after Victoria Eugenie, became Queen Ena of Spain.
The first child, Alexander, was born in 1886. He became Mountbatten, Alexander of Carisbrooke, Marquess of Carisbrooke. He died in London during 1960.
Their eldest daughter, Victoria Eugenie, was born at Balmoral Castle in Scotland during 1887. She was Victoria Eugenie von Battenburg. Victoria Eugenie married Alfonso XIII, the long-serving king of Spain in 1906. She became Queen Ena. In 1907 she produced an heir, Prince Austrias, who was hemophilic. A second son, born the following year, was a deaf mute. Another was stillborn. Two daughters and one son were born healthy, but Ena's last child was a hemophiliac as well. Alfonso was deposed in 1931 by the Spanish Republic. She died in 1969 in Switzerland before the Spanish monarch was restored by Franco.
Beatrice's third child was Mountbatten, Leopold Arthur Louis, Lord Mountbatten. He was born in 1889. He died in 1922 in Kensington Palace.
Their last child was Prince Maurice Victor Donald of Battenberg. He was born in 1891. He died during the first months of World War I at Ypres Belgium.
Princess Beatrice died in 1944 at Bantridge Park, Balcome in Sussex.

Eric Clapton was brought up by foster-parents, started listening to the blues when he was 15, bought his first guitar at 17 and taught himself to play. He formed his first band in 1963 - a rhythm & blues outfit called Roosters. Later that year he joined The Yardbirds, where he established his reputation as a blues stylist. Leaving The Yardbirds in 1965, he went on to join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers where he attracted more followers and began to be recognised as a major influence - hailed the guitar hero. In 1967 he formed Cream and experienced his first taste of major commercial success. However, Cream folded in 1968 and between then and about 1970 he pursued several projects. He made his first solo album in 1970 and then went on to join Derek & The Dominoes. It was the relative failure of this band, coupled with an increasing drug problem which took Clapton off the music scene for several years. Since 1974 he has pursued a fairly low profile career, making relaxed, down-home albums.

Miley Cyrus’s performance for the Video Music Awards at the end of August was something of a jaw-dropper. The 20-year-old’s duet with ‘Blurred Lines’ singer Robin Thicke was, in every way, overly sexualised and undeniably inappropriate for younger audiences. However, what I find far more concerning than two celebrities, dancing provocatively around a stage after the watershed, is the public outcry against Cyrus alone; and in my opinion it is here that lies the far more serious problem.
What worries me is that Miley’s critics observed the sexual nature of her performance as an indication of her fragility and instability; coming to the unjustified, sexist conclusion that such a fearless, independent assertion of her own sexuality must mean nothing other than that she is heading sadly, rapidly and unstoppably towards a Spears-esque breakdown. Mika Brzezinski, female host of MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ commented scathingly on Miley’s performance:
“I think that was really, really disturbing. That young lady, who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues, probably an eating disorder and I don’t think anybody should have put her on stage.”
So what you are arguing, Mika, is that any woman confident enough to express her sexuality live on television, without encouragement or coercion by a man, must be on the verge of a breakdown? What a gross accusation that is. Our society has become so accustomed to men objectifying women that in defence, it has started to move towards the conclusion that any public expression of female sexuality must always be unacceptable. However, this belief is causing critics to operate a double standard which leaves the other half of Miley’s duet, Robin Thicke, quite exempt from criticism.
This performance was rehearsed: Thicke knew exactly how the dance was going to go, and evidently had no objections to being a part of it. So when it comes to criticising the performance’s excessive sexualisation, should we not, in addition to Miley, be asking Robin Thicke why he thought the display was appropriate for television? Better still, should we not be asking him why he wrote such a derogatory song in the first place? The initial music video (now banned) for Thicke’s single, the fastest selling hit of 2013, showed him and co-writer Pharrell Williams fully clothed whilst three female dancers shimmied around them topless. The song clearly objectifies women and yet his role in the VMA performance was barely acknowledged.
What was it that Miley did so wrong? Was her performance too sexualised for the audience that night? Perhaps. But the same critics who vociferously condemned her dancing, applauded Bruno Mars’ performance of his song ‘Gorilla’ as a “solid artistic statement”. The lyrics of Mars’ song are too sexually explicit for me to include in this article; a clear demonstration of the gender-based double standard.
Miley Cyrus is trying to make her way in a profession that is riddled with patriarchal hypocrisy. If a male artist expresses his sexuality through his music, he’s a chart-topper. If a female artist attempts the same, she’s labelled ‘troubled’, ‘disturbed’ or ‘disgusting’. We live in a society that considers itself fairly liberal and believes in gender equality, however there is still an unexplainable taboo circling female sexuality. Is Miley Cyrus really guilty of anything that her male contemporaries are not praised for? I believe that criticism of Cyrus’s performance at the VMA’s was about something other than concerns for her wellbeing or dislike for her voice: it was a stark illustration of society’s intolerance for the expression of female sexuality and the sexist double standards that exist within the music industry.

Living life with no regrets is a really good philosophy. But, what if you regret getting a tattoo that no longer serves…
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s 11-year-old daughter, Willow, was recently given a tongue-lashing on social media after posting a picture of herself sporting a tongue piercing on Instagram.

Ok…so Watch the Throne has dropped…The Carter IV has dropped. In the midst of all of this, some beef has seemingly dropped, as well. When you think about it, it’s like…WTF is going on?? I mean Wayne was on Hello Brooklyn from Jay’s American Gangsta and Jay was on Mr. Carter from Wayne’s The Carter III. So, why would there be beef between these two mega stars, who seem to be too cool with each other? This is what I’m discussing. Excuse me, if this seems to be all over the place, but yunno how I am. I usually have a lot to say and I’ve got my opinion on just about everything!!
So here it is…It’s reported that Jay took shots @ Baby & Wayne by saying “I’m like really, half a billi, nigga? Really, you got Baby money? / Keep it real with niggas, niggas ain’t got my lady money” Then Wayne came back with “Talkin’ ’bout Baby money? I got your Baby money / Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money” Now I don’t have the Carter IV yet, but I do have Watch The Throne and let me add a couple lines before the infamous lines. I think you can get a bigger picture of what Jay was painting.
“Ni**as fantasize about the sh!t that I do daily like,
These rappers rap about all the sh!t that I do really,
I’m like really half a billi ni**a,
Really you got baby money,
Keep it real with ni**as
ni**as ain’t got my lady money”
Now to me, this doesn’t address Wayne or Baby. Wayne and Baby have plenty money to do some of the things that Jay does, feel me? BUT there are a lot of rappers who talk a big game & everything in their videos are rented. They don’t really take trips to islands and fly on private jets. This cat with Forbes looked at it as a diss though. Saying that Jay rounded his worth from $450 million to come up with “half a billi”, blah, blah, blah. Then everybody thinks that when he said baby…he meant Baby, but Baby isn’t capitalized, yunno? Being that he mentioned his lady, I took it as ok…I’m a grown man…you definitely don’t have my kind of money. You’re like a child compared to me (baby). And to give you a better perspective, don’t get it twisted and try to front like you living like me…you ain’t even got money like my lady, much less me. Get it? You’ve got your man, woman and a baby…..As far as money goes…u can be the baby, fool!! Now on another note, Jay is a master of the double entendre, so while on the surface it obviously means what I think, who knows if it means what everyone’s saying….
According to what I’ve seen, here’s what Wayne wrote in his song,
“Talkin ’bout baby money? I got your baby money,
Kidnap your b!tch, get that ‘how much you love your lady’ money,
I know you fake ni**a, press your brakes ni**a
I’ll take you out, that’s a date ni**a”
Now the lines before or after, didn’t seem to set up what was said here, so I didn’t write them. There’s nothing really to analyze about this. There’s no double entendres or anything. This is the kind of things that original hip-hop beefs were made of, feel me? Lately most rappers beef and talk about what they’ll do to someone, but it’s been a minute since a lot of people been bringing someone’s family, friends or loved ones into the picture. On a video clip I caught of Wayne talking to Sway as a part of MTV News, Wayne says that as far as what Jay was talking about, he can’t “box with the god” on that. He then says that because of his wit and the type of person he is, he’ll play off of it. BAAM!! You heard it from the man himself. No real beef, he’s just doin his thang. It’s almost like..ok he said something about me and people are lookin at me, like…”You not gonna do anything?!?!?”Of course he is..
After talking a lil’ with my baby about this, she made a very good point. She said that this was all done for publicity. Now HAM’s been out for some time and if Jay was dissin Wayne, why didn’t Wayne do something then, yunno? It’s funny that this thing seemingly came to a head just before The Carter IV, dropped. Cuz, I know it doesn’t take but a quick minute and tomorrow Jay or Wayne can drop something for people to hear and hit somebody hard…feel me?
OK, that’s the beef…now for the MONEY…
I know that for some time now, Baby & Jay have said different things about who’s better lyrically and who has the most money. Wayne really hasn’t done a lot of talking about it (from what I’ve seen), which I like. He seems like he’s just about doin his thang, yunno? I know that Baby and Cash Money have been doin this music thing for a loooooong time, but so has Jay. Around the time that Wayne was signed to Cash Money (around 1991), Jay had already made songs/videos. I’m talkin’ before Reasonable Doubt. I didn’t even know that.
Now, lyrically…different rappers & MC’s have different styles. What’s appealing to you, may not be appealing to me, so therefore, we may think that two different MC’s are the best lyrically. Now, I’ve followed Jay-Z more than I’ve followed Lil’ Wayne. As far as Wayne goes, I really became fond of him back when the Hot boyz came out with “Bling, Bling”. You could just tell that there was something special about this kid.As far as lyrics, he’s one of those cats that I can listen to and be like…”Oooohh, WOoooooW” Then there was a time where he came out with a lot of songs and you would hear him laugh and make all these noises & I thought that he was fallin’ off. It was right before we went away and it seemed like every time I saw him he had a styrofoam cum in his hand….filled, I’m sure, with his favorite spirits. With the release of The Carter III, he came back and showed why he is and will forever be one of he best MC’s ever! Now Jay is an MC that I didn’t know about until my cousin, David, put me onto him. I think I lost touch of music when I moved from New Jersey. ‘Til this day, it still seems like it takes about a month and a half for new music to get from the NY/NJ area to Atlanta. When I was introduced to Jay-Z, he was on his third album, Life & Times of Sean Carter Vol. II. This was the album where he did callaborations with DMX (Rough Ryders were big), Two Short, as well as the Roc-a-Fella family. This is the album he got a grammy for. When I caught onto Jay, I was so impressed with his style, his flow and the words that he said, that I HAD to see what else he came out with and get it….yeah, like that! Not sure that it had anything to do with it, but I did like the fact that we’re both Sagittarius’. I was born 4 days before Jay-Z. So on some level, in the midst of all the glitz and glamour, bling and things, even how these “young” boys are trying to do things these days…I can relate to Jay, who’s lettin’ them know…”I’m the pioneer of this sh!t…I was poppin’ Crystal when all y’all n!ggaz thought it was beer & sh!t” Now this was on Life & Times Vol. I…so we’re talkin’ like 1997! He was on a bigger scale, very early in the game..feel me? If you ask me, Jay-Z is the King. After, not only listening to his music, but after watching documentaries about him & especially finding out that he doesn’t write down his raps….he listens to a track and does this “mental exercise” where he rhymes to himself and based on what people say…he can do that for about 15-20 mins & then go into the booth and lay down his song. Incredible. Whether you’re great or not, I don’t know many people that do that and I certainly haven’t heard that Lil’ Wayne does that. I have heard that Biggie was the same way…which they lightly referred to in the studio scene in the movie, Notorious. One thing I will admit, is that in my opinion…on this day right now, if I judge the most recent songs from both artists, I will say that I’m more impressed with Wayne’s wordplay than Jay’s.
I know I did a whole lot of talking about lyrics, but I still have to touch on the money side of it, so here it is. You can go to a lot of places on the internet and see that this person is worth this and this person is worth that, but let’s check with a reliable source, when it comes to money, Forbes. According to Forbes’ Celebrity Top 100 list, which counts money made from May 1, 2010 to May 1, 2011, Jay-Z was the MC who made the most. He ranked #45 on Forbes list with $37 Million dollars. Lil’ Wayne was ranked @ #85 with $15 Million (Now to be totally fair…I think Wayne would’ve ranked higher, had he not been incarcerated for about 6 of those months. So to be a lil’ more fair, let’s put him @ about $30 Million, which would rank him around #61 on Forbes list). As far as who’s richest, I don’t understand the controversy. Even before checking this out, I was thinking…Ok..Wayne does music..Jay does music, clothing, cologne, clubs & NBA teams…uhhh, hello?!?! I’m sure he’s got more money than Wayne…..Yup.. Forbes says that Jay is worth $450 Million. Since this was a Top 5 list, Wayne didn’t make it, but Baby did…he hit the list @ the #5 spot in a tie with 50 cent @ $100 Million. They had a video with Baby where he talked to someone from Forbes and said that he thinks that they calculated his money incorrectly when they said that he was just at $100 Million. You wanna know what the funny thing was? When he was asked about how much he thinks his empire is worth…he could even answer!! All he could say is….well, it’s gotta be worth a hundred million….a hundred plus…Uhhhhhh, isn’t that what they said?!?! Well….you can judge for yourself. I’ve seen, read and written enough.
So what do you all think? Who’s your vote for most lyrical? Who’s your favorite MC? Why??
Until the next time, THANKS for visiting me in the Kingdom!

TITLE: True Love Jennifer Lopez
This is a story of LOVE it started when love was LOST and I felt as if my world had FALLEN apart. What followed was a trans-formative JOURNEY. through the PROCESS of developing my first world tour. Where I faced some of my greatest CHALLENGES, overcame some of my biggest FEARS and. With the help of my incredible CHILDREN,emerged a STRONGER person than I’ve EVER been.
I am fascinated with this biography of J.LO she really opened up to her fans and friends and family. I have a totally different view of her now. I am really happy to share with you some of the things she wrote down in this book. Like finding out that she had Low Self-Esteem was crazy to read honestly because she is so beautiful.
When I first took a look at the book I thought her kids are going to be her True Love but I have to say I was wrong that’s only part of the answer but the real True Love you will have to read it to discover it for your self. And trust me it will be good. She also talks about her world tour this was her first one and it scared her to go on stage in front of many people and sing her songs she thought what if they didn’t like it she had put this tour off so many times but when her divorce happened this was a good time to do it.
While I kept reading and seeing those beautiful pictures she has in her book of her and children and family and specially of her world tour it made me feel like I was in one of her presentations. I have never seen Jennifer in concert at all so when I read it and looked at those pictures I was like man I really missed out. There is one presentation that stands out to me the most because it’s about her and how she is telling us woman to LOVE YOURSELF.
In that performance she had two couples on each side of her one where the man is being abusive to the woman and on the other side she has the woman abusing the man. Reading about it how she described that presentation was awesome it made me feel like I was front and center of that performance.
I could probably can go on and on about this biography of her’s but I think you should read it and I bet you will be amazed of her journey and all the things she went through to be happy again.

Many subcultures, movements, and zeitgeists formed throughout the past decades, and they have continued to influence the current trends. There were the goths, the punks, the beat generation, the emos, the hipsters, and many more. They’re all cool and fascinating, but each attracts some divisive opinions towards them. One of those movements is New Age spirituality. It’s also considered a religious practice and is closely related to the hippies, another counterculture movement.
You’ve probably seen people who wear their hair long and dreadlocked. They live an eclectic lifestyle, matching it with equally eccentric fashion and lifestyle choices. They usually wear loose clothes that sometimes look like something from some women’s clothing boutiques. Their rituals include connecting with nature to heal their mind, body, and spirit with the help of some crystals and sage. It sounds like a cult of some sort, but one that’s less sadistic. Then, in the picture comes Lorde with her new album and look.
What Happened To Pop Music’s Awkward, Sad, Goth-clad Girl?
Lorde is a Grammy-winning Kiwi singer and songwriter who stepped away from the limelight for four years after her last commercially and critically successful album, Melodrama. She was MIA presumably because of her awkward, anti-social media, pop antithesis persona and because she is finishing her new album Solar Power which came out on August 20, 2021.
Before the album release, Lorde dropped a single with a music video bearing the same title as the album. Fans noticed how her music and fashion had changed so much since she was musically active. Her dark electronic pop music evolved into something that sounded more upbeat, brighter, and happier. Along with her new brand of music, a new fashion sense emerged as she started sporting more colorful and flowing clothes.
It’s a new era in Lorde’s career as a musician, and some fans are not here for it, with some saying she has lost her “Lorde-ness.” Some fans were pleasantly surprised that she has departed from her sad girls’ kind of music and seems to be evolving.
Another notable change in Lorde’s musical and visual direction is how she seems to have a group of people around her as if she’s the leader of some cult. Some fans are saying she’s taken inspiration from the film Midsommar. Some fans thought maybe it’s just a coincidence. That is until Lorde dropped a new single and music video for Mood Ring, where she looked more like a cult leader.
Lorde’s Mood Ring
At face value, Lorde’s Mood Ring seems like a nod to the New Age movement with her lyricism, new look, crystals, and sage. But, is it? Or is there an undertone to all these?
It turns out that it is a satirical song and music video. If you have followed Lorde’s career, musicality, and lyricism, you know she likes being an antithesis of the current trends. You can hear it in her earlier songs like Royals, Team, and Tennis Court.
Lorde confirmed in a video that the YouTube channel Genius released on August 23 that Mood Ring is not her way of conforming to New Age spirituality. She explained how the song came about, the meanings behind each line of the lyrics, and the symbolism.
Each element of the song and the video references the New Age movement. The first verse and pre-chorus of the song is only the tip of the iceberg of Lorde’s message that it’s hard to tell what her intentions are. But as the song progresses, she sings, “Let’s fly somewhere eastern, they’ll have what I need,” which she explains is how she pokes fun at people flying to places like Bali to find themselves.
Although Mood Ring is social commentary, Lorde said she holds no animosity towards the New Age movement. She acknowledges that people who find comfort in practicing it are just finding solace in the health and wellness culture. She added by saying that it is a strange time to be alive, so you do you.
Lorder Than Ever
It might have been more in line with Lorde’s persona not to explain the meaning behind her songs. But, at the same time, it’s cool to know her ideas behind them. After all, the Lorde from Pure Heroine and Melodrama eras have evolved into the Solar Power girl. It may sound like a betrayal for some of her sad fans, but it just goes to show how multifaceted Lorde is. And if you listen closely, she is Lorder than ever.

Ever heard of Sixto Rodriguez? Neither had I. But his album 1970 debut album “Cold Fact” apparently did not ever completely go away. Oh, it never took hold as a music masterpiece here in the United States, but apparently it was HUGE in apartheid South Africa, where the themes of political and racial injustice struck a nerve with the populace. Sold more copies there than Abbey Road! He was more popular than Elvis! And he never knew it! Unfortunately, he died on stage… Or committed suicide….
Well, that is what his South African audience thought. There were tons of rumors about Rodriguez dying in some rock-n-roll fashion. But it wasn’t the case. After a couple of years, he simply dropped away from the music business. Swedish filmmaker Malik Bendjelloul, searching for a captivating topic for a documentary project, stumbled upon this story, stumbled across this story and knew he struck pay-dirt. The documentary “Searching For Sugarman” is being released this month, and it sounds like a wonderful film.
The movie presents Rodriguez as a figure of mystery who is assumed to have died, perhaps onstage, in a dramatic fashion. Only thanks to the persistence of South African fans and the burgeoning Internet was he finally located in the 1990s alive and well in Detroit, living humbly as a father of three daughters who had earned a living through non-music work like construction. His lifestyle was so spartan and simplified, the film reveals, that he didn’t even have a phone.
That’s the story that Swedish director Malik Bendjelloul stumbled onto when he quit his TV job and traveled the globe for six months in search of potential movie topics. Once he heard about Rodriguez, his late introduction to his own fame and his eventual triumphant visit to South Africa, he was off on a four-year mission to make “Searching for Sugar Man.” (The title references a song called “Sugar Man” on Rodriguez’s 1970 “Cold Fact” album.)
“I was like, this is the best story I’ve ever heard in my life or that I’m ever, ever, going to hear. I was like, no way. It was a beautiful, beautiful story,” says Bendjelloul.
The director was able to convince a hesitant Rodriguez to participate in the film, meeting him for the first time in 2008 and eventually coming to Detroit about a half-dozen times.
“He (said), ‘Malik, you already have interviews with all the other people. You don’t need me. I’m not important,’ ” says Bendjelloul. “I was like, ‘It’s your film, it’s your story.’ ‘Yeah, but you already have so much from the others.’ He’s a guy who used to perform with his back to the audience. He’s a private man.”
For all these years Rodriguez live in obscurity, but none-the-less doing what he considered important work for his Detroit community and beyond as a construction worker and a political activist. While he did play a number of gigs in 1981 with Australia’s up and coming band Midnight Oil, he didn’t play outside his beloved Detroit until the late 2000′s. He chose to live his obscure life, and he like it that way. Well, that is going to be more difficult now. Fame has finally caught up to him. He will appear on Letterman this month.
Here is one of his songs from Cold Fact, Sugarman.
And there is some good YouTube banter too!
“The BBC brought me here actually.
This sounds? like a Bond opening. I love it.”
On those who registered “dislikes” on the YouTube post:
14 people have never smoked? weed
I thing this is an even better song:
So, I end this post with a question: When I finally get my solo album finished and released, I wonder which country I’ll become world famous in????
Hat Tip: NBCNEWS
PS. My older brother has gone on tour with several pretty well known recording artists, such as the Church and Tripping Daisy. He went on tour a couple of times with Gilby Clark, the guy who had replaced Izzy Straton in Guns and Roses for a short time. “Gibly” as he is lovingly referred to, was at one point on tour with the revived Aerosmith in Brazil. Apparently Gilby is bigger there than the much better known American juggernaut. So yeah, even though American and Europe are the sweet spots as far as the record industry is concerned, there is world out there full of music, and ready to embrace those artists the west would so quickly throw away.
