The outlet reported Thursday that it had received a statement from Lil Tay provided by her family, which said her Instagram account had been compromised by a third party and used to spread «jarring misinformation» about her and her brother.
«I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say,» she reportedly said. «It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.»
She also said that her legal name is Tay Tian, not Claire Hope as had been widely reported. According to TMZ, Lil Tay has recovered her Instagram account.
The Instagram post claiming Lil Tay had died has been deleted, but EW was able to capture a screengrab of the post (below).

Originally posted Wednesday, the statement read, «It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing. We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.»
The statement, which was unsigned, also claimed that Lil Tay’s brother had died, and that the circumstances concerning their deaths «are still under investigation.
Lil Tay’s management reportedly confirmed the statement to Variety on Wednesday, but questions about the statement’s veracity arose in the hours after it was posted.


Charlie Chaplins comedy was rich in creativity and cleverness. His ability to make his audience laugh while touching universal chords of emotions was a rare gift. Perhaps his childhood made him sensitive to the thoughts of other people, or maybe his sad upbringing gave him the motivation to move beyond the limits of poverty. Whatever gave him the momentum to success in the entertainment industry was a blessing that caused millions to laugh with joyful abandon.
Chaplin was best known as the silent Little Tramp clown but his fame came over a period of years. Born in London in 1889, he lived with his divorced mother who made a meager living by sewing. She suffered a series of mental breakdowns and was institutionalized on several occasions, leaving Charlie and his older brother, Sidney, to take care of themselves or to live in a government sponsored home.
When Chaplin was 9, he toured with a stage company and had his first taste of life upon the stage. He later took small acting jobs and toured with several troupes. He eventually toured the United States and decided to stay here in 1912. He joined the Keystone Film Studios and, as the expression goes, the rest is history.
At this point in time, its as if someone fast-forwarded the film of his life. Chaplin had parts in nine movies in only two months. Although his parts were small, his star quickly rose with the introduction of his world-famous tramp character. However, he wasnt content to only act before the camera, he stepped behind the lens to direct as well. At age 25, he directed his first film, Twenty Minutes of Love. This began an interesting segment of his professional life, and one in which he began to combine pathos with comedy.
Chaplins first full-length movie was The Kid and this film secured him a place in history. It showcased his artistic ability and compensated him both financially and with a solid core of fans. Yet, he took a hard hit when he veered into serious fare with A Woman of Paris. By this time, Chaplin and comedy were synonymous and movie viewers didnt want him to change.
Satire was a comedic device used by Chaplin and was most evident in The Great Dictator when he took on the dangerous ideas of Adolf Hitler. The German ruler must have appreciated the humorous exposure because its believed he grew his signature mustache in imitation of Chaplin.
Chaplins personal life experienced a number of ups and downs, and his failed marriages made news regularly. He was denied re-entry into the United States because of his Communist leanings, yet in that same time period, he was awarded the World Peace Council Prize.
Charlie Chaplins life was complex, full of dark scenes and heightened emotions. From a childhood of poverty in England to a fortune made in the United States, this comedian perfected his craft with subtle actions and stinging satire. His audience readily accepted his humor because the themes were universal and the situations truly comical. Charlie Chaplin was larger than life and deserves to be a legend.

When your kid said they wanted to be like Shaquille O'Neal or Drew Brees when they grew up, we can almost guarantee they didn't mean future franchise owners! It’s not uncommon for celebrities to own franchises but did you know that some of your favorite celebrities are successful owners of some fantastic franchises?
When it comes to owning a franchise, Shaquille O’Neal is no stranger. With over 155 Five Guys Burgers and Fries, 17 Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, 40 24-Hour Fitness Clubs, 9 Papa John’s, 150 car washes and more, Shaquille knows the success that franchising can bring. Valued over $400 million, O’Neal recognizes that the franchising model is simple and if you believe in the business, you will have great success.
The former Saints Quarterback began franchising after his 20-season career in the NFL. Brees has been a long-time multi-unit franchisee in Dunkin’, and Jimmy John’s. Recently, Brees has decided to align his football career with his franchise brands, investing in fitness and wellness industries: with new investments in Stretch Zone and Everbowl.
Being one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood didn’t stop Mark Wahlberg from making millions from franchising. Wahlberg began his career in franchising as an investor in F45, an Australian high-intensity gym and later becoming a franchisor as the brand grew. In 2011, Wahlburger, a casual burger franchise, was opened by Wahlberg and his brothers. The brand grew to a large scale and liking among its customers, Wahlburger’s was created as T.V. show based on the burger restaurant.
Every franchise story is unique, even among celebrities. Just like these celebrities and many more, franchising is an opportunity to become a successful business owner with successful brands. If celebrities can do it, so can you!

Top 10 Celebrities Who Have Had Close Encounters With Aliens
Lately, we've been talking a lot about aliens, most famous alien abductions and other recovered aliens in the past. But did it ever come into your mind that maybe celebrities have also experienced the ‘alien fever’? “I haven't thought about that.” Well, pal, it’s time for you to think about it. Did you know that one of the world’s most prominent figures in the field of music, sports, and show business has their alien encounter? *silence* “I have no idea.” Don't worry, I'll give you ideas. *winks* Here are some of the celebrities who claimed to have encountered extraterrestrial beings.
Grease’s actress, Olivia John-Newton, has claimed that she has seen a UFO when she is still a teenager. The silver UFO is flying across the sky at such incredible speeds. However, not many have chosen to believe her. But John Travolta, her love interest in the film, would probably do. John is a Scientologist and being a part of this religion, and being the most prominent member of it also, he believes in aliens. Another celebrity who has said to have encountered aliens is one of my favourite singers, Robbie Williams. Williams have gone through ‘alien episodes’ in some parts of his life that put his career at risk. He claims to have seen aliens at his recording studio while recording the song ‘Arizona’. He also says that, every time he sings that track the ball will appear and disappear every time he finishes.
And who would have thought that the King of Rock ‘n' Roll has his alien story too? Well, as they say, the young Elvis Presley have been visited by aliens and showed him his bright future ahead. And according to some, Presley did not die. It is believed that aliens took him with them. Well, they might be planning to make Elvis Presley their real King, perhaps.
Here are only some of the celebrities with ‘alien fever’. To read more about it, just click on the link below and see if your favourite celebrities have a story to tell. *winks*

It’s award season and that means that international celebrities known in the music, film and television industry are strutting their stuff on the red carpets of this world and filling the fashion pages of the glossies with their fashion tops and flops. It might seem superficial to some, but I’m more than happy to admit that I love seeing the fashion sense of Hollywood’s starlets evolve over the years, so you can imagine that I was super thrilled to see that Gear 4 DJs have compiled an infographic with the best and worse fashion choices of selected celebrities.
With some of them there seems to be a real trend towards the less is more mentality: Taylor Swift has changed from the Cowboy boot wearing girl next door to the sexy vamp, Beyonce is practically performing in a swimming costume and Miley Cyrus, well let’s just try to ignore how she’ll come on stage in a year or two, if she intends to continue her trend of dropping it like it’s hot. If you want to see how your kids’ idols have evolved over the past years, check out the infographic below and leave me a comment telling me, if you think that some of these stage costumes are appropriate for artists that our kids are looking up to. I’d love to hear your thoughts!


As a child, Deondray was extraordinarily beautiful and gifted—who looked just like me and reminded me very much of myself. He was a high school athlete, but really excelled in singing and play production, winning a first place trophy for his history-making portrayal of Romeo where he became the first African American to play the role and win the top honor in the history of the Drama Teacher’s Association Shakespeare Festival for LAUSD schools. He also won a 3rd and 4th place trophy in that festival for playing Walter Lee Beu Willie Jones in Colored Museum and Othello in Othello, making him one of the few actors in the city wide festival to place that many times. He subsequently ran in the festival every year for three consecutive years during high school. After high school, he enjoyed several plum rolls for a number of years in Sister Act 2, The Hughleys, The Parenthood, Rosewell, and MTV’s Undressed etc. During this time he earned a degree in psychology.
Currently he is a successful TV Producer for MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, and NBC’s The Sing Off, and has his own GLAAD-Award Winning LGBT television series, The DL Chronicles. He is in a happy 16+ year relationship with his life and business partner, and is a quintessential example of what is good and inspiring about this world. He altears of absolute joy, forever, came this day. (Although Quincy is a gifted writer, and director, regrettably he is TERRIBLE with plants, and killed the bonsai tree I so owns and operates one of Hollywood’s hottest upcoming production companies, 2-Cents Productions.
At the 2014 Grammy Awards, Deondray married the love of his life Quincy Lenear, making LGBT history. Tears of joy,tears of joy… forever came today… However…regrettably, although Quincy is a brilliant writer, he is a bonsai assassin, and killed the bonsai I gave them as a wedding gift.

Ray Martin’s Favourites (Victory) is a collection of standout interviews from the TV journalist’s career, as well as a glimpse behind the scenes, revealing how these interviews came together. Martin spoke to Bookseller+Publisher.
You’ve interviewed many of the stars, including Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Don Bradman. Have you ever been star struck?
Very rarely. In fact, out of thousands of interviews probably only twice. Sir Donald Bradman and Audrey Hepburn—a strange double, I must admit. I’m a cricket tragic but I never got to see The Don play. When I first met him at his Adelaide suburban house he stood up and stroked an imaginary cover drive, illustrating a point about batting technique. I was absolutely mesmerised. Audrey Hepburn I had fallen in love with when I was about 15 and saw her in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. When I was the ABC’s New York correspondent in the 1970s, I used to walk past the iconic jewellery store and imagine Holly Golightly and her cat, as in the film, just sitting on the steps. Then on The Midday Show I got to meet and interview Audrey. She was still a classic beauty, with sparkling eyes and the best cheekbones in Hollywood. I told her of my teenage love affair, she smiled and purred, ‘It’s never too late …’ So I kissed her on the cheek. How dashing was that?
Which interview was the hardest to secure?
Sir Donald Bradman. How I ended up with that exclusive is almost worth a book in itself. I guess my half-hour interview with Prince Charles after his split with Diana was a coup too. Then the interview with Bob Hawke and Paul Keating together was something quite special. Even 20 years later it’s still my favourite political interview. It’s also a fascinating insight into the two men.
Your book also reveals some of the behind-the-scenes action. Can you share any gossip?
We had an American rock legend stoned off his face when he came on to sing; an Australian movie legend overloaded with chardonnay; a British legend who had a personal water-taster (just in case someone tried to spike his acqua minerale); an English guest who forgot or deliberately decided not to wear knickers on The Midday Show and the TV audience noticed; and a Spanish heartthrob who made sure we didn’t film his bald patch. Then there was Pamela Stephenson who tried to take my trousers off on camera, and Richard Marx, who was too cool to admit that he’d once written a country song for Kenny Rogers. Even after a viewer sent in a copy of the album he still denied it was him. I’m not going to tell you who they were—except for Pamela and Richard. You’ll have to just wonder.
Tell us about some of the ‘ordinary folk’ who made it into this book?
They’re all ordinary in their own kind of way—even Don Bradman, who almost drowned three times because he never learnt to swim. There was the drover who spent an agonising night in the fork of a tree during the high-point of a Queensland flood—with his kelpie dog and a huge snake. Then there was Werner Von Braun, whose rockets put man on the moon but was as enthusiastic as a kid playing with fire crackers; Jane Fonda who wanted to talk about God and Dustin Hoffman who just wanted to talk about sex. Ronnie Biggs, the most celebrated of the Great Train Robbers was an ordinary Cockney bloke, who was one of my favourites. He just wanted to be a carpenter living in Melbourne. Doesn’t get much more ordinary than that.


Andrew Warhola (known as Andy Warhol) painted a number of paintings of the actress Lana turner after she committed suicide in 1962. Warhol got his goal to mass-produce his art by using a method called silk screen. This method involves enlarging and transferring a picture onto silk. A number of colors are printed to a screen by using a rubber squeegee. For his paintings of Lana turner, Warhol used a picture by Gene Korman from the publicity aim for the show, Niagara. Andy Warhol painted Marilyn Monroe's paintings with one color: green, blue, lemon yellow turquoise. Next he silk screened her face ahead. In this way, he created variations and depicted a variety of colors. In the paintings, she was either by hand, multiplied inside a grid or doubled. After four months, Andy Warhol's paintings were complete. Andy Warhol issued a portfolio of his Marilyn Monroe paintings in 1967.
Warhol curiosity about fame inspired him to generate his Lana turner paintings.
Warhol admired Marilyn Monroe like a star. He was captivated by her beauty and
looked at her as a example. In his craft, he portrayed Monroe as not merely
beautiful, and also dark and mysterious. Warhol invented the saying, "fifteen
minutes of fame" which means a star for example Monroe catches the public's
attention for any short lived stretch of time. Then, the media moves on to other
celebrities who fascinate the planet. Andy Warhol graduated from the Carnegie
Institute of Technology using a major in pictorial design. After graduating,
shortly fater he began his career being a commercial illustrator. After failed
attempts at exhibiting his operate in the 1960s, Warhol thought we would
incorporate popular culture into his art pieces. Called pop art, Warhol used
each day objects as subjects for his paintings. He became famous as "Pope of
Pop" for his paintings. As well as Marilyn Monroe, Warhol painted other
celebrities in "The Factory", Andy Warhol's studio in New York. Those
enthusiastic about Andy Warhol's artwork and paintings of Marilyn Monroe can
watch them at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Andy
Warhol Museum is probably the biggest museums featuring only 1 artist in the
world. The museum features greater than 4,000 works of art by Warhol. His
artwork include paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, films and videos.
Along with Warhol's artwork, visitors will find information about Andy Warhol's

Your weekend dinner invitations have nothing on Hip-Hop Moghul Jay-Z. The American rapper sent out a Rolex Daytona as part of a VIP invite to the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala earlier this month.
Rappers Meek Mill and Swizz Beatz used Instagram stories to share pics of their invite. From what we can see, this is a yellow gold Daytona that Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, sent along with the invite and a bottle of his Ace of Spades bubbly.
"Levels. Hov is on another level with the invite game. It came with a Daytona Rolex and a bottle of Ace," wrote Swizz Beatz while Meek Mill posted: "Hov sent these as VIP passes. SMH this rich s*** getting out of control lol."
It is not known just how many of these VIP invites were sent out. A yellow gold Daytona may be worth a significant amount of money (an estimated $40,000) for some but this is loose change for Jay-Z. Forbes reported earlier this year that he is now the first hip-hop artist to become a billionaire. According to the report, Jay-Z has accumulated is wealth through his investments in art, real estate, his streaming service, liquor business, and stakes in companies like Uber.
The Shawn Carter Foundation was set up as a public charity in 2003 by Jay-Z and his mom Gloria Carter. The Foundation says its mission is to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships further their education at post-secondary institutions.

Duke of Earl Wines has been over 50 years in the making, since Gene Chandler made his first journey to Europe to entertain crowds with his music. While making his way through France and Italy, he gained an appreciation for the remarkable food and wine that they produced.
This love for fine European wine only grew throughout his life, as he continued to enjoy vintage European wines, learning more with each sip.
On his 75th birthday, his daughter Tyra wanted to do something special for him despite his insistence of not celebrating birthdays. She ordered personalized bottles of Merlot, his favorite, from France with his record label’s picture on the bottle and the inscription “Happy Birthday Daddy!”.
The Duke was blown away by both the quality of the wine and the eye-catching label. After proclaiming “I’ve been to 72 countries and I’ve never seen something like this on a wine bottle”, he and Tyra decided to develop their own wine brand, aptly named Duke of Earl Wines.


Lady GaGa is my role model. She is the raw essence of amazement, I saw her Monday night at the BOK center here in Tulsa. It was by far the best live shows I have seen in my entire existence. She is so inspirational, creative and a true visionary. I have never seen a superstar be so loving and caring as well as appreciative of her fans. You can tell that she wants to give back to them as much as possible because of the support we have given her. I enjoyed how the entirety of the Monster Ball was a theatrical tale. There were so many element to take in–I enjoyed the transitional images she projected on the white screen between set changes. It was almost like a trippy-psychedelic media form of modern art before my eyes. She was truly a thrill to watch. Not to mention her outfits!! She sported a leather bra and panties for songs such a “Telephone”, a plastic nurse outfit with “X” shaped tape over her breasts during “LoveGame”, a full feathered get-up for “Monster”, and many more. My all time favorite of the night was the jagged “moon-rockesque” silver outfit for “Bad Romance”.
I didn’t have time to create an imitation of one of her outfits, but I still tried to channel my inner GaGa and came up with a little rockstar piece. I was a featured “Monster” on the Virgin Mobile Monster Ball webpage at least!
I purchased “The Rise and Rise of Lady GaGa” by Maureen Callahan. I am truly inspired by her stardom and her journey to get there. I just finished the prologue as of last night, but I am eagerly waiting to dive into the story of her over night success.
I don’t think people give her enough credit for her art. She is an artist in every sense of the word–from her performance art, her music, her fashion, her choreography. The message she is conveying is relevant to her beliefs and her life. I admire her greatly for her bravery to be able to do that as well as reach out to millions and inspire them to be who they were born to be.
“Stop feeding me bullshit, tell me the truth”-Lady GaGa 2009


What can we learn from others about OUR self-talk if we’re willing to take the time to look for ourselves in their behavior?
A few years back, during the Video Music Awards, musician Kanye West jumped onto the stage as Taylor Swift was giving her acceptance speech for receiving the Best Femal Video of the year award. Taking the microphone from Taylor’s hands, Kanye announced to a stunned audience that Beyonce was more deserving of the award. Within twenty-four hours, Kanye was making what appeared to be sincere apologies for his rash behavior, and he received a poised, immediate, and gracious acceptance from Taylor.
It would be easy to judge Kanye for such rude behavior, except for the fact that we’ve all been there.
We’ve all grabbed something out of someone’s hands when we didn’t think they deserved it.
We’ve all felt the while-hot heat rise in our hearts when, in our eyes, our loved ones have been ripped off or defrauded.
We’ve all wanted to grab a microphone a time or two (or maybe more) and holler out to the world that life isn’t fair, that someone else is getting the accolades when they don’t truly deserve it.
Interestingly enough, Kanye’s experience may have given him a glimpse of his inner world. On September 27, 2009, the celebrity gossip mag Gatecrasher stated that hip-hopper Kanye West hasn’t been his typical brash self of late. In recent events, he’s been “reserved, quiet, and humble . . .” Perhaps Kanye tuned in to his self-talk and started listening. Perhaps he’s searching out what motivated him to jump to the stage that day. Perhaps he looked beyond himself to the power of his influence on others.
We all take to the stage in one way or another dozens of times a day. We just don’t want to admit it. And without the spiritual discipline of self-evaluation, we often remain unchanged and blind to the way the world sees us.
Thank you, Kanye, for helping us see ourselves.
May we all be willing to look honestly at ourselves in our worst moments, seek forgiveness, and walk on with humbled hearts that press in to the grace of God.
LISTEN IN Tuesday, March 17 as I talk about my book The Silent Seduction of Self-Talk on FOCUS ON THE FAMILY and talk candidly about how our self-talk influences our relationships. Check your local station for air times, or go to FocusOnTheFamily.com to listen to the archived program.

Well Kate Middleton is perfect. There’s no denying it. I literally don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of her looking bad. I’m sure even when she gets the flu, she looks more beautiful than I ever could hope to be. Not fair! I just came across this picture of her; how great is that Lela Rose dress?! Unfortunately it costs $1500…maybe someone will make an affordable look-a-like version? Or I’ll win the lottery? Here’s hoping!
I’m leaving Sunday for France! Still seems a little unreal, but I do need to start packing…stay tuned for my (hopefully daily) updates from my trip!


All hail the queen of music. I got into her work since hearing Love Story on the radio. It’s a pity I was well past high school when she arrived on the scene, it would have been a great emotional support back then.
She had an interest playing guitar at a young age. Determination and persistency brought her where she is today. True, her voice left much to be desired in the earlier years of her career. But recently she has much improved due to her owning to her weakness and hiring a vocal coach. Her writing skills have always been unparalleled and she likes to use figurative idioms of her own creation.
Blah blah blah she’s pop, no country, who cares. She is brilliant in that she recognizes trends and reinvents herself in risky ways. She began with a fairytale princess perspective, dreamy in the throes of teenage angst. When the hipster Instagram craze was in full swing, she came out with Red complete with a dubstep hit. Followed by an 80’s influenced album to met the retro climate. Did she pull it off? Absolutely.
For all the talk in society about not judging and attempts to dismiss slut shaming, she is marked and isolated by media vultures jumping all over her romantic entanglements. I feel sorry that she is constantly ridiculed for her choices. Yes, artists have relationships in succession. Yes, they make their boyfriends/girlfriends the subject of their work. It’s nothing new and no one starts off with all the answers. Can we move on now?
Influencing a generation
Dorky, sweet, and mostly wholesome image is refreshing in the entertainment industry. They be hatin’ but really anyone would do well to possess a fraction of the talent and success of this girl. She is on top and in control of pretty much all the decisions from tracks to branding. As far as role models go for females, you can do plenty worse.
Philosophy of Love
Taylor is, like most women, a little crazy. She goes all in when she dates someone and gives herself away completely. All experiences are captured whether it involved blissful omg-look-at-that-face highs or abysmal crumpled-up-piece-of-paper lows. There are lessons learned from splits but never regrets, it’s always worth it. Regardless of countless foolish decisions that came from our hearts, we all have stories that make up who we are.
Thank you for affirming our experiences as we navigate life and love together!
(dedicated too all my fellow Swifties out there ❤ )

This collection provides a window into the life of the late Houston rapper HAWK, a member of DJ Screw’s rap collective the Screwed Up Click (S.U.C.). Publicity photographs depict the style of HAWK and fellow rappers Fat Pat (his brother) and Big Moe, while snapshots capture HAWK, Lil’ Keke, Trae and other S.U.C. members performing or hanging out. Of special note is a handwritten notebook of HAWK’s lyrics in gold on black paper.
HAWK, also known as H.A.W.K. or Big Hawk, was born John Edward Hawkins in Houston on November 15, 1969. In the early nineties he began working with DJ Screw, an underground mixtape DJ who was developing a new style called “chopped and screwed.” Like many others, including his brother before him, HAWK ordered personal mixtapes on which he would rap. Through the popularity of these mixtapes, HAWK became locally famous. In 1998, HAWK, Fat Pat, DJ Screw, and Kay-K formed a group called Dead End Alliance (D.E.A.) and released the album Screwed for Life on Dead End Records.
HAWK released his first solo album, Under H.A.W.K.’s Wings, on Dead End Records in 2000. In 2002, he released his second album, HAWK, on Game Face Entertainment.
On April 9, 2006, HAWK married his longtime girlfriend, Meshah (Henderson) Hawkins. Shortly thereafter, in May 2006, HAWK was shot and killed. His murder remains unsolved. Another album, Endangered Species, was released posthumously on Ghetto Dreams Entertainment in 2007.
HAWK was especially respected as a writer of lyrics. In the pages of his notebook, he worked out the sixteen bars that make up a typical rap verse. Some pages of the notebook show sets of rhyming words that he was considering for a verse. Others capture the activities of HAWK’s everyday life, from phone numbers to scores for dominoes games.
The collection also includes obituaries (memorial service programs) for HAWK and his brother Fat Pat, and photographs of Fat Pat’s burial.
Some of these materials were part of the exhibition, DJ Screw and the Rise of Houston Hip Hop, on view at the M.D. Anderson Library from March 19 through September 21, 2012.


Jenny Bede is a actor & comedy writer/performer from Pinner, Middlesex, the town from which Elton John also hails . Much like Sir Elton, she wears a wig, is married to a man named David Furnish & had a hit with the song 'Rocketman' in 1972.
Born in 1983 Jenny had an active interest in the arts since an early age and after leaving school decided to pursue this. After 2 years bouncing around in a girl band and temping at various establishments in North West London, Jenny decided to apply to the prestigious Royal Academy of Music (where Sir Elts also attended). She was accepted onto the Musical Theatre course under the direction of Mary Hammond, where she later graduated with Distinction.
Career higlights since leaving the academy have included working with Melly Still (director of Coram Boy at the National) on her production of 'Zaide', heading up the cast of 'Sweet Charity' at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane & duetting with Blue on the classic, 'Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word'.
Perhaps topping all of this was being cast in a Bodyform advert which was directed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty). No, she didn't get to rollerskate with a dog, and Yes, she was cut from the final edit. During a stint last year in the cast of NewsRevue, (the long-running, fast-paced, topical, musical sketch show) Jenny began to write material for the show and consequently realised that to write and perform comedy was what she wished to concentrate on. 6 months, 5 viral hits & 1 cheap wig later Jenny has started to pave a name for herself as an up and coming musical comedian. WATCH. THIS. SPACE.

The Slovenian selector Brina Knauss has achieved widespread notoriety and respect for her DJ skills, with influential figures such as Damian Lazarus and Luciano among her growing fanbase. Classically trained as a youngster, Brina has an exceptionally refined ear for key, chords and melodies, meaning her sets are full of emotional depth and transcendent atmospherics. On the road constantly since 2016, she has notched up a staggering number of gigs across Europe and the rest of the world, playing alongside some of the scene’s best-known DJs and booked to perform at high-profile events such as Rumors, Vagabundos and Get Lost. Still in the early stages of her DJ career, Brina Knauss is an accomplished music selector, whose scintillating sets have catapulted her into the limelight.
An extremely hardworking, positive talent she injects soul, emotion and professionalism into every performance, leaving the dance floor with unforgettable experiences. Brina joined a band called B.B.T in her early adult life before moving to Milan to embark on a modeling career. However, music has always been Brina’s true calling, so she took a huge risk and quit the model life in 2012 to pursue her first love. In an industry where women are still often judged on their looks, she had to work twice as hard to prove her worth in the beginning but, ultimately, the music does the talking and her selecting skills brought her to the attention of Luciano.
In 2018 she was selected to play for his Vagabundos parties in Bucharest, Madrid and Barcelona, subsequently spending the summer season in and out of Ibiza. On the White Island she was booked to play at highly respected events such as Woomoon, Elrow, and Storytellers, where she played alongside Ricardo Villalobos and Damian Lazarus. The Crosstown Rebels boss is renowned for discovering and nurturing amazing talent. Brina’s set caught Damian’s attention and he invited her to play at his party in Berlin, at Watergate, in October of that year. Since then she has built a strong relationship with the influential label, with her debut release, ‘Sledi Toku’, on sub-label Rebellion dropping in early 2019. The track featured Brina’s own vocals showcasing her ability to translate her unique ear to the studio.
Elsewhere, she has travelled all over Europe and further afield, sharing the bill with the scene’s top tier artists including Carl Cox, Solomun, Dubfire, Black Coffee and many more. On the road, Brina has appeared in London, Beirut, Tulum, Miami, Berlin and Paris, touring Colombia and hitting South Africa for Rage Festival, with further festival bookings including Audioriver in Poland, OFFSonar in Barcelona and Tomorrowland in Belgium.
These appearances have given Brina an opportunity to translate her vibrant sound to the big stage, with great success. Back in Milan she is resident at Volt Club, where she has been making regular appearances since 2018 for a couple of seasons. She also graced the cover of DJ Mag Italia in July 2018, with a full-length interview inside the magazine and she has been nominated twice at the highly- regarded DJ Awards: as ‘Best Newcomer’ in 2018 and 'Breakthrough Artist' in 2019. At every step ofthe way Brina brings positive energy to the dancefloor, merging her classical training with dynamic mixing and intuitive, emotionally intelligent transitions. An accomplished, determined and exceptional artist, Brina Knauss is brimming with potential and aiming for the top with an open heart and mind...

... so few days ago were eagerly-awaited MTV Music Award and of course with that comes also the red carpet and the fashion glamour. Loved how instead of a red carpet was the white carpet. Out with the old and in with the new trends. :)
Here are my thoughts of styles from the carpet. This year was really easy to separate stars with taste and those who lack it. Some good, some bad and some awful ;)
Let’s do the fellows first, to relax our eyes a bit, but we’ll start with the ones who has to work a little bit more on there style to make it perfect :)
Akon Drake Jay Sean
Akon : Don’t have problem with the style, everything fits together but he is always in black, he should try to step out of his safe zone and add some colors to his wardrobe or add some suits. I would love to see Akon in suit, i think he would look so great, wouldn’t he ?
Drake : New Canadian star, don’t have any problems with his style, unless with the shoes. What was he thinkin ? Pink tassels, really ? Drake, some stuff are for ladies only, this would include pink tassels, sorry bro.
Jay Sean : I’m just gonna say, ... sweety lose the silk scarf, you are not doin anything good to anybody.
Now lets do the perfect men, they know what to wear or they have a really good stylists ;)
Jesse Williams Justin Bieber B.o.B.

Justine Henin (born 1 June 1982), known as Justine Henin-Hardenne between 2002 and 2007, is a Belgian retired professional tennis player and former World No. 1.
Henin won 43 WTA singles titles and seven Grand Slam singles titles, including four French Open titles, one Australian Open title, and two US Open titles. She has also won the year-ending Sony Ericsson Championships twice and the singles gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Tennis experts cite her mental toughness, the completeness and variety of her game, her footspeed and footwork, and her one-handed backhand (which John McEnroe has described as the best single-handed backhand in the women's or men's game) as the principal reasons for her success.
Critics and all-time-great players have made testament to Henin's talent. Upon Henin's first retirement from the WTA in the early part of the 2008 season, Billie Jean King said that "pound for pound, Henin is the best tennis player of her generation", as well as that "Justine is the best women's athlete I've ever seen." Andre Agassi said of Henin, "Justine Henin is one of the most talented women ever to have played the game of tennis." In 2007, 18 time Grand Slam winner Martina Navratilova said that "She is head and shoulders above everyone else right now." John McEnroe concurred, saying that Henin is "The player I most like to watch." Henin made a return to the WTA in early 2010, losing the final of the Australian Open in only her second tournament back.
On 26 January 2011, she announced that she had been forced to retire from professional tennis once again because of an elbow injury. In June 2011, she was named one of the "30 Legends of Women's Tennis: Past, Present and Future" by Time.
Justine Henin was born in Liège. Her father is José Henin; her mother, Françoise Rosière, was a French and history teacher who died when Justine was 12 years old. She has two brothers (David and Thomas) and a sister (Sarah).
When Justine was two, her family moved to a house in Rochefort, situated next to the local tennis club, where she played tennis for the first time.
Henin's mother routinely took the young Henin across the border to France to watch the French Open. Henin saw the 1992 final involving her idol Steffi Graf and Monica Seles. Although Graf lost, the experience impressed Henin.
In 1995, shortly after her mother's death, Henin met her coach Carlos Rodriguez who guided her career both before her retirement in 2008 and during her 2010 comeback. Following a conflict between Justine and her father over her tennis career and her relationship with Pierre-Yves Hardenne, Rodriguez soon became not only her trainer but in some ways a second father figure.
On 16 November 2002, Henin married Hardenne in the Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne, adopting the name Justine Henin-Hardenne.On 4 January 2007, Henin withdrew from forthcoming tournaments in Australia, including the Australian Open, due to personal issues. Henin confirmed three weeks later that she had officially separated from her husband. The same year, she reverted to using the name Justine Henin.
She has been in a relationship with Benoît Bertuzzo, a Belgian cameraman, since March 2011. On 12 September 2012, Henin announced that she was pregnant and expecting her child in March. She gave birth to a girl named Lalie on 20 March 2013.
Francesca Schiavone (born 23 June 1980 in Milan) is an Italian tennis player who turned professional in 1998. She won the 2010 French Open singles title, becoming the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam event in singles. She was also runner-up at the 2011 French Open. As of 29 July 2013, Schiavone's ranking is World No. 55; her career high ranking is World No. 4, achieved on 31 January 2011. Schiavone employs an all court game and has a very classic approach to her clay game. She uses an extreme eastern grip on her one handed backhand. Chris Fowler and Brad Gilbert described her forehand as a "buggy whip.

Lord Grunge is one half of the legendary Grand Buffet. He’s recently released two excellent solo records, as well as releasing two records with Shark Tank. Grunge is one my closest friends in the world, and he’s always been like an older brother to me, in the rap game and in life. I was excited to get him to break down this detailed history of Grand Buffet.
He talks about Grand Buffet’s early shows in restaurants, biker bars and parking lots in the outskirts of Pittsburgh. We talk about their early opening tours with Wesley Willis, Nature Kids and Sage Francis. He breaks down becoming a headlining touring act off the strength of their live show, as well as the burnout of relying on touring as a sole source of income.


Most of us were introduced to Maya Angelou early in our own education when we first read her book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. It’s only fitting that Angelou’s work ended up ensconced in American education. While she herself was a high school dropout, she became a professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University and had over 30 honorary degrees from various colleges. She was called “Dr. Angelou” by many. Poet, author, playwright, director, performer, actress, professor, producer, singer, and civil right’s activist, Dr. Angelou played many roles in life and gathered experience everywhere she went. In 2007, she told USA Today, “I have created myself…I have taught myself so much.”
Angelou was well known for learning from all aspects of her life, whether good or bad, and she shared those insights with others in the most inspiring ways. On Wednesday, May 28, 2014 our beloved songbird passed away at 86 years of age. But she left behind a legacy that no one can forget.
Maya Angelou was a force in education, and to honor her impact, we’ve chosen our favorite quotes from her that inspire us to always strive to learn and grow.
Dr. Maya Angelou’s words to live by:
- “Still I rise.”
- “When you know better, you do better.”
- “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
- “When you get, give. When you learn, teach.”
- “All great achievements require time.”
- “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
- “Segregation shaped me, education liberated me.”
- “All knowledge is spendable currency, depending on the market.”
- “Nothing will work unless you do.”
- “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
To you Dr. Angelou, thank you for a lifetime of giving the best of yourself and teaching us to do it, too.

Here are some of Charlie Zahm’s greatest fans all gathered to hear him play at his closing concert on Saturday evening. They were certainly not disappointed, and Charlie gave a stellar performance to conclude the 2016 Men’s Advance.
Charlie performed several Scottish and American ballads, a couple of sing-alongs, and even a few sea-chanties. But my favorites, by far, were some of his old standards, his rendition of “Shenandoah” and a rousing “The Blacksmith of Brandywine.” I believe we had upwards of one-hundred and thirty people in attendance. It was a very good night.

The two train operators transported the members to the venue. This training segment lasted eight hours. Filming was done on a weekday afternoon, and the members arrived at 12 a.m. Apparently, it’s the most extended segment of the show.
Most BTS members don’t wear makeup on stage all the time, but they do wear it for specific occasions. In the “Daechwita” music video, Suga wore black hair, and his eye was covered in a scar. While it’s not common for the members to wear nail paint, Army calls Jungkook’s “Bunny Smile” to indicate that he has eyebrow piercing.

Jimin is a nerd. He has a deep fascination for painting and always thinks about how little kids learn to paint. Then, he would ask a girl to paint his nails with him. Of course, this would only happen if the girl in question were interested in painting. While he was interested in the image, his girlfriend would be more interested in singing and dancing.
BTS members are often photographed with painted fingernails. He also posts pictures of himself with the signature name Vante, a combination of his stage name and the name of a photographer he admires. He has an intense husky voice and almost debuted as a rap artist in the group before he was called up by Jimin and Jin. V speaks Korean, Japanese, and basic English.

Although some K-pop idols like Tokyo, many people still prefer their looks more casually. Lastly, the fashion sense of YG, AIM, & BTS is also very similar.
How are Jin’s nails so pretty?
Korean-born nail artist Jin Soon Choi immigrated to the United States in 1991. She established her career as a freelancer and soon began attracting celebrity clients. Her nail art has appeared on the cover of Italian Vogue and in Prada ad campaigns. In 1999, she opened Jin Soon Hand and Foot Spa in the East Village.
