Introducing Shola Ajose AKA Afrikan Boy – Grime artist, lyricist and collaborator on Showdown, our newest project.
From Grime to Afrobeat, Hip-Hop to Spoken Word, Afrikan Boy’s music shifts genres effortlessly. Bass heavy sounds of urban London, rhythmic Nigerian beats and playful, political lyrics make for a sound that is undeniably Afrikan Boy.
Showdown is Upswing’s newest circus project, co-produced with Chamäleon Berlin and premiering there in February 2024. The show will follow 7 hopeful acrobats as they battle their way to the ‘top’, in a playful satire that is equal parts talent show, beauty contest and The Hunger Games in style.
Afrikan Boy is on board as our composer and music maker. Mixing original music with classic old school tracks, he’ll be developing an uplifting and energising score for the project that will make you want to switch on and tune in.
About Afrikan Boy’s work
Afrikan Boy came to attention as a teenager, with the unforgettable smash ‘One Day I Went to Lidl’. The grime-infused track caught the ear of fellow British rapper, visual artist and activist M.I.A., that led to guest appearances on her critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated album Kala (2007).
Over the last decade, Afrikan Boy has cultivated a worldwide fan base from his early days as a Grime MC. ‘I’m Excited’, a later collaboration with US hip hop veteran DJ Shadow, was crowned ‘Hottest Record in the World!’ by aficionado Zane Lowe.
An established international artist, who is accompanied on stage by a full band, an Afrikan Boy performance will challenge any other when it comes to the energy and passion displayed on stage, which he has shared with the likes of Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Baaba Maal, Damon Albarn, Seun and Femi Kuti, The Noisettes, Fatoumata Diawara and Mark Ronson, to name a few.

If you’re a fan of dark and dreamy handsomeness, you will appreciate the hotness of top Aussie scorer Tim Cahill – he was born in Sydney, but his father is English of Irish descent and his mother is Samoan, which – as it turns out – is a fantastic combination! As the 34-year old makes his third appearance for the national team, he has the honour of being the first Australian to ever score a goal in a World Cup. Physically, he’s not big (5’10”, 64 kg ) but has a commanding presence on the pitch. Sports runs in the family, as his brother plays for the Samoan team, and three cousins play in the New Zealand Rugby League. He honors his Samoan heritage with those stunning tattoos, more details below.
He is married to his childhood sweetheart Rebekah Greenhill – they have four children together and tied the knot in Las Vegas (a couple after my own heart!). He is also involved in a number of charities. Yes, he is too good to be true. And hot.

However, bodybuilding training is a factor that boosts muscle growth and without it, even having the best diet, muscles will not grow. Everyone nowadays goes to the gym to keep their body fit including women.


Alex Remmington reflects on one of America’s greatest comic actors:
Today is Gene Wilder’s 73rd birthday. One of America’s greatest comic actors, he hasn’t done much in front of the cameras in the past decade. He’s been writing, living relatively peacefully with a wife he adores, occasionally appearing in a feature article somewhere. He beat cancer a couple years ago after fighting it for years. He has aged as he acted, as he lived, as he pratfalled: gracefully.
Gracefully… or hysterically?


(RNN) – Raz-B, a former member of the R&B/boy band group B2K, is on life support in a hospital in China, his publicist told TMZ.
Raz-B, whose name is De’Mario Thornton, was injured after trying to break up a fight in a nightclub Thursday in Zhejiang, China, according to WENN.
“He is in a coma and needs as many prayers as possible,” his publicist Toy Jones said.
During the altercation, Thornton, 28, was hit in the face with a glass bottle and suffered face lacerations the required multiple stitches and minor facial surgery. TMZ reports that Thornton was arrested after the brawl, but
was subsequently released and not charged before going to the hospital.
TMZ reports he was released from the hospital, but didn’t wake up the next day. He was rushed back to the hospital by a backup dancer.
News reports say the singer has been slipping in and out of consciousness Friday and has been breathing with the help of a ventilator. MTV reports that doctors are checking the singer’s brain activity while he’s hospitalized.
This isn’t Raz-B’s first hospitalization while in China. In 2012, Thornton was hospitalized after tripping and falling through a glass door at a Shanghai hotel after a concert. The fall severely damaged his wrist, “destroying nerves, tendons and ligaments, exposing bone,” according to MTV. Raz-B called it a “near-death experience.”
Thornton was a member of the R&B quintet B2K from 2002-2003. The groups’ hits include Why I Love You, What a Girl Wants, Girlfriend, Bump, Bump, Bump and Gots Ta Be.
Thornton released his first solo single, Fire, in 2007 under his own independent production company, RazBeats Entertainment. Raz-B released a mix tape in 2010, entitled Boy 2 King, while performing in China.
According to Raz-B’s official website, he released a 10-track mix tape Flame earlier this year. Thornton has since been touring China since 2010 while recording a solo album in preparation for a U.S. comeback.

Sometimes you feel insecure

Waking up to the news of David Bowie this morning has hit many of us hard.
I think this will be one of our generation’s “Do you remember where you were when” things.
I was in bed, waking up to start the day when the radio announcer solemnly announced not only his death, but his secret 18 month battle with cancer.
During his 18 month battle Bowie did what he does, he used his songs to tell us, to leave us something not only to remember him by, but to help us mourn.
Today’s Music video is a song Bowie released very recently, his parting gift to us that we didn’t really understand until this morning.
After a rough week, and a really rough night, I needed this reminder today.
You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast
These Are Some Good Times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this

This American YouTuber is also a TV host as well as an actress. A deadly combination as far as influence and online traction is concerned. Fast forward to her channel; she has billions of views. A feat she has not accomplished in a day. The journey started back in 2006, and two centuries later, she is a force to reckon with. Born in 1984, Justine knows just how to harvest subscribers and viewers. Her ijustine.tv is the tool she uses to achieve this.
As I write this, Justine Ezarik is living in her late thirties. Her three decades and more of experience in this life had a beginning. She went to Pittsburgh Technical Institute after clearing her high school life in Bentworth High. All along, it was clear she was gifted in her art, but no one knew she would have this influence. She is the daughter of a PE teacher and a coal miner. Careers that were in no way a match to Justine Ezarik.
Her leadership skills were there to be seen, and she was elected her class’ president while in school. Not only that, but she was also a volleyball player. She was good in class, had a fine personality, and thrived in sports too. Clearly, she was an all-around student. After clearing high school, Justine was fortunate to earn herself a scholarship. It was a great opportunity to excel even more.
- Ezarik is a jack of all trades. The only difference is she seems to be a mistress of all. She makes her prowess look easy and effortless. The best part is her ability to juggle between acting, hosting, publishing, and other specializations. Between 2004 and 2006, she did graphics design and aided in video production through her editing skills. This time, she was garnering capital and experience to start her own businesses.
The year that Justine started her YouTube channel is the same year she made it to the final list of Yahoo Talent Show. This was just the beginning of a great future. Justine was approaching her best years career-wise, and it was not long before she played a role in a TV series. These are the roles that played a major role in establishing the iJustine’s influence. With the fame she was gaining by day, it was easy to attract more followers.
In 2007, iJustine played a volunteer role on Justin Kan’s channel. According to her wisdom, Ezarik had been convinced Technology is the right topic to focus on. She did production on iPhone just about the time the tech giant debuted. Her video earned millions of views, and that did not go unrecognized. She would later receive a payout as a token of recognition and appreciation.
By the end of 2007, Ezarik had earned several recognitions and invitations. Great people don’t just attend events and shows; they get invited. iJustine’s greatness emerged as she earned several calls to attend several events and shows. Her exploits helped her get a contract offer from Xtra. The expert training organization had been impressed with her achievements and abilities. She was just a special kind of breed.
2017 saw Ezarik get Forbes’ recognition in the list of the ten best Business influencers. This was two years before her channel hit the one million subscribers’ mark. A feat not many individuals have managed. Apart from online activity, Ezarik is also an actress and has had a good acting career too.
iJustine appeared in The Wedding Ringer, Law & Order, Users, The Place is Right, and many other productions. Those were just a few picks of her glittering acting career. She appeared in more shows, movies, and other productions. Her influence propelled her to the best platforms, and she never disappointed.
Awards and Nominations
Acting, show hosting, and other creative productions have mostly been recognized the world over. Forbes, Oscars, MTV are some of the most popular awards and creative organizations in the world of production. Talent must be awarded, and these brands do so in the most pompous manner. Justine Ezarik has won several awards and several nominations.
In 2011, she won the Webby awards – Web personality category. In 2015, she won the Best Lifestyle Series- Streamy awards. 2016 saw Justine win the Streamy awards again for the Best Ensemble Cast category for different productions. She has won many others. In addition to that, she has earned many nominations. In 2010, Justin was nominated for Streamy awards – Best Vlogger awards. The same year saw Ezarik get a Teen Choice award in the Choice Web Star category. She only made it to the nominations list this time. The following year, she had come of age, and that is why she won the Webby award.
2012 to 2014 saw Justine get two Webby award nominations as well as Streamy awards. These were her unlucky years as she had to wait until 2015 to win another award since she last did that in 2011. When it rains, they say it pours, and that was Justine’s 2015 and 2016 years as she won back to back awards. A feat anyone would want.
It is not easy to win a nomination from a reputable awarding organization. It is even more challenging to win the award itself. Justine has not only earned nominations but also gone ahead and won them. This she has not done once. She has done it time and again.
YouTubing is gaining popularity by the day. Each other time, a new youtube joins the trend, and this makes the art more competitive. In competitions, only the strong triumph and Justine has done that. She has had a successful YouTubing career as well as other practices, for she is also an actress and a host. From these shows, she has earned quite a fortune as well as become famous and influential. Since launching her channel in 2006, she has seen her audience grow steadily, hitting a million subscribers in 2017 and headed to two million in 2020.

Sara Bareilles is a jazz-pop singer, with one big hit "Love Song". Honestly this is not her best song. She is jazzy and really good.

She is one of the best modern jazz has to offer, along with Nora Jones, Madeleine Peryoux, and Diana Krall. Look her up.

IT’S not at all “goodbye, showbiz!” for Derek Ramsay as the Filipino-British actor has an entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival to watch out for — “(K)ampon.” As the very title suggests, it apparently is a horror film. If I’m not mistaken, this is the same project originally offered to Kris Aquino (during her healthier days, of course) opposite Derek. For some reason, the plan fizzled out. It will be remembered that the onslaught of the global pandemic in 2020 had sidelined Derek. It was by choice that he had ditched a couple of TV and film assignments with the gnawing fear that he might contract the dreaded virus (yet he was not spared anyway). Derek’s decision to turn his back on showbiz has rubbed off on his wife Ellen Adarna whose last appearance was via a short-lived sitcom on TV. It is pretty understandable why the couple would rather sacrifice their showbiz career and do a lot of traveling: they got the means. Isn’t this what Derek’s erstwhile buddy John Estrada once said of him: “He’s actually rich”? No, Derek having lots and lots of it has nothing to do with his self-imposed retirement. More than ever, Derek feels like working on his own terms, and at his own pace. Can he not be his own boss? Doesn’t he have the right to set his own rules? Any curious movie buff, however, cannot help but ask what was it that made Derek stage a showbiz comeback? Is his forthcoming festival entry something he hasn’t done before? Is it because of his leading lady Beauty Gonzales, his wife Ellen’s close friend — them being both Visayans? Or does Derek feel it’s about time he got back on his toes, and there’s no better time than Christmas? Does it mean we’ll be seeing much of Derek in the coming holidays and beyond? What about Ellen, isn’t she just as eager-beaver to make her screen presence felt all over again, at least before she plans to get pregnant in the Year of the Dragon? With all the network collaborations going on these days, Derek and Ellen may want to take advantage of these. *** SOME years back, Piolo Pascual and Shaina Magdayao were an item. Little did people, however, know that they had one thing in common: both wanted to serve God — Piolo as priest; Shaina as nun. When he was still Catholic, Piolo dreamt of entering priesthood. He eventually had a change of heart when he became a practicing Christian: he had settled for wanting to become a pastor. Piolo’s spiritual adviser, however, snapped him out of it saying he could still serve God even if he stuck to being an actor. There isn’t much of a difference in Shaina’s case. Having begun her showbiz career at the age of 7, Shaina was too overwhelmed with the way she had it all coming her way. Shaina admits to not having to queue up for auditions. She easily got what she wanted, even way before she asked for it. She hardly understood what her purpose in life was though. All she knew was that entering a convent would provide the answer she sought to her nagging question. It took a Cory Vidanes to enlighten her, “I still remember her words: ‘You can still serve God even with your showbiz work’.” It was only then did Shaina realize that sharing her God-given talent is, in fact, a way of fulfilling much of her dream, at least close to being a good-natured God’s disciple, “I’ve never felt this happy since then.”


Mexico: PRI gets endorsement from unlikely YouTube star Rebecca Black
Rebecca Black, known for her infamous “Friday” song, angered Mexican social media users after endorsing Presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto.
It may come as a shock to many but Rebecca Black is in fact Latina. As she proudly stated in this mun2 interview, her mother is Mexican. Yet, her cultural heritage may not be as strange or shocking as the political stance that the 14-year-old YouTube singing sensation recently took in Mexico.

Naim Suleymanoglu, by all standards, was a legendary athlete in Turkey’s sports history. The weightlifter broke all records during his prime time, became a champion in three consecutive Olympic Games in the 1990s, a success that was a testimony to the feat of his remarkable achievements.
He was called ‘Hercules,’ he was short, but his stature among the Turkish youth was beyond imagination. That legend died on Saturday at the age of 50.
After years of heavy drinking, Mr. Suleymanoglu suffered a liver problem; he was desperately looking for a donor for a liver transplant. He underwent a liver transplant surgery on Oct. 6, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Although initial signs of recovery reinvigorated hopes of doctors for a healthy comeback, his health steadily went worse. He was recently placed in the emergency care unit.
The end came on Saturday. A legendary figure who left his mark on Turkey’s otherwise poor record in Olympic Games passed away.


Kate Henshaw Nigerian born actress from Calabar, Cross River State. Born on July 19, 1971, is the oldest of four children.
In 2008, Kate won the Africa Movie Academy Award for best actress in a role for the film “stronger than pain” amidst other numerous accomplishments.
The 48 years old mother of one has evolved and stayed ageless through the years and it’s all linked to her fitness and beauty routines such as regular exercises, Spa appointments, facials, weekly body scrubs to mention a few.
When asked in one of her interviews, the fitness enthusiast said that she goes for massage once every week, she also revealed that ever since she discovered the benefits of exercising seven years ago, she has not visited a hospital.
Henshaw’s advocacy for wellness and black beauty through her new movement Figure K8 was birth to show the true beauty of the dark skinned woman ushering them to shine through with their natural undiluted beauty.
She said “In our new world, we often forget that the beauty of a black woman shines brighter in it’s original form. So this is to all Nubian Queens across the world”.
This movement have already established about 5000 plus followers on Instagram. And it has since garnered support & approval from her fellow celebrities and a large number of followers, could this be why we adore her? As it is in sync with the ethos of what Avila Natural stands for.
We decided to carry out a vox pop on the culture of exercise and regular beauty care:
Cynthia Odibeli said “I stopped exercising since August sadly so however from experience I realize that if you combine exercise with a regular beauty routine you’re in for an eternal glow as exercise opens your pores that way beauty products can work well”
Mrs Isabel okeke said “I do not engage in daily exercise routine, because I’m a very busy person, I’m always occupied with work and my kids but that not withstanding I try to exercise during the weekends if time permits me, however, I find exercising as a very paramount virtue everyone should emulate because it improves healthy living.
In summary it’s ok to say that exercising & regular natural skincare beauty routine for your skin complexion and periodic body treats is a vital trait and a must-do!


Before the three Grammys, and before becoming the first female songwriter in history to win the Country Music Association's Song of the Year Award and the CMA's Female Vocalist of the Year, K.T., (then known as Kay) sang at the Jester. A lot. In the early 1960's she sang with David Jones and later with Frank Davis and of course, solo. Kay also performed in Houston area musical theater, most notably for me, in 110 in the Shade with Scott Holtzman at the Houston Theater Center, the first live theater I ever saw. In the 70's after a series of jobs in New York on Broadway, she began doing ad- jingle singing and appearing in TV commercials and working on her songwriting. In 78' she sang harmony on a Guy Clark album and was signed by Elektra Records in 81'. While her original songs were becoming popular with other artists, it wasn't until 1987 that her 80's Ladies put her in the Top Ten and won her a Grammy for Best Female Vocal. More Top Ten songs and awards followed, along with film and television guest starring roles. Her USO tour became the basis for her first cable special and one year later she hosted the country music community's first AIDS benefit concert. A multi-talented artist.
A noted singer/songwriter, Big Daddy Banjo player, inventor, artist, wild child and truly one of a kind. A regular at the Jester, Frank would give Kay Oslin rides to gigs on the back of his motorcycle, and became good friends with Guy, Jerry Jeff, and Lightnin'. I had the pleasure of interviewing Frank, who was a great storyteller, on the Pacifica Radio Mixed Bag show in Houston in 1970. The Big Daddy Banjo - in case you're wondering - is a Fender guitar neck attached to a tenor snare drum in place of a traditional banjo body. Awesome to hear, and an invention of Frank's. The recorded duets I have heard with Kay and Frank are beautiful.
Scott and Vivian Holtzman
In the early 1960's, Scott and Vivian stopped in Houston on their way from California to Nashville, and never left. Instead of going to Nashville and writing country western songs as they had planned, they became a part of the growing folk music and musical theater scene in Houston. Scott and Vivian were successful songwriters, and had written songs for Tex Ritter, The New Christy Minstrels (Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around) and many others. Scott and Vivian sang for several years at the Jester and later moved on to the world of rock n' roll, writing most of the songs for, and producing/managing for the Fever Tree ( San Francisco Girls) and later managed and produced Diane Kolby (Holy Man). Scott and Vivian both are featured on the Look, It's Us! album.
Ken Roberts and Judy Stewart met and began singing together in late 1962. By early '63 they were singing at The Jester as regulars. They loved the audience and the feeling was mutual. Because of their growing popularity, they were in demand at Houston area venues. The Cork Club, The Colonel's Quarters, Foley's Department Store fashion shows and Rally for The Alley along with area television appearances kept the duo quite busy. Their mix of traditional and contemporary folk songs, and seamless harmonies gave them a unique, yet familiar sound. They are featured on the "Look! It's Us!" Jester album.
Guy Clark is a Texas country western and folk singer, musician, songwriter, recording artist, and performer. He has released more than 20 albums, and his songs have been recorded by other artists including Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffet, Lyle Lovett, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Wariner and Rodney Crowell. Emmylou Harris has accompanied him on several recordings, including his own version of Desperadoes Waiting for a Train which is included in the Top 100 Western Songs Ever Written, and was recorded by The Highwaymen (Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson). Other songs by Clark include LA. Freeway, New Cut Road, Heartbroke, Oklahoma Borderline, and The Carpenter. Guy performed for many years at the Jester and was on the album of Jester regulars, Look It's Us!, In 2014 Guy Clarke was awarded the Grammy for Best Folk Album: My Favorite Picture of You.
Some artists are influential because so many followers try to imitate them; others are influential because they cannot be imitated. Lightnin' Hopkins was of the latter variety. Lightnin' began playing at the Jester shortly after it opened and played there off and on for many years. Always a welcomed as a favorite at the Jester, Lightnin' had already debuted by then at Carnegie Hall in 1960 with Joan Baez and Pete Seeger. It has been estimated that he recorded between 800 and 1000 songs during his career, one of those being on the Jester, Look, It's Us album. Rolling Stone magazine included Hopkins on their list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time. As a side note, Hopkins recorded the album Free Form Patterns in 1968 backed by the rhythm section of the Houston rock band the 13th Floor Elevators.
Pancho and Lefty. I really don't need to say any more, but I will. Townes made his way to the Jester sometime in 1965 and was paid the then princely sum of $10 a night to perform (his first paying gig), mostly doing covers of Bob Dylan and Lightnin' Hopkins songs. He met Guy Clark, Lightnin', and Jerry Jeff there, and would later go on to record the album Live at the Jester Lounge: Houston, Texas 1966. The late 60's and early 70's were a highly productive period during which he wrote and recorded Pancho and Lefty, To Live is to Fly, and If I Needed You. Emmylou Harris, and Willie Nelson with Merle Haggard would go on to have huge country hits with their versions of his songs. Another album, some say his best, was recorded in 1977, Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas. Van Zandt is featured prominently in the documentary Heartworn Highways, along with Guy Clark, David Allen Coe and Charlie Daniels.
Jerry Jeff made it into the Jester in the mid-60's and became lifetime friends with both Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Walkers' "Mr. Bojangles" is perhaps his best known song that has been covered by everyone from Nina Simone and Sarnmy Davis Jr. to Bob Dylan. Walker has also covered songs written by others that include "LA Freeway" (Clark), "The Heart of Saturday Night" (Waits) and "Up Against the Wall Red Neck Mother" (Hubbard).Walker has developed a style of music he calls "Cowjazz" as can be heard in the poignant "Eastern Avenue Railway Blues". Jerry Jeff has an annual birthday bash in Austin Texas that has become a huge annual event, bringing in some of the biggest names in country music.
The Stoneman Family originated with Ernest V. ‘Pop’ Stoneman in a log cabin near Monarat, Carroll County, Virginia who learned to play guitar, autoharp, banjo and harmonica and showed a talent for quickly learning songs that he either heard or read in early songbooks. He made his first recordings for OKeh in September 1924, including his million-seller, ‘The Sinking Of The Titanic’. It proved to be one of the biggest hits of the 20s and has since been recorded by many artists, including Roy Acuff. Owing to The Depression, he did not record between 1929 and 1933, but even so, he had proved so popular that between 1925 and 1934, he had still recorded over 200 songs. Some of his children learned to play instruments during childhood and when, after the war, he gradually began to return to entertaining, his band was made up of his wife and their own children. After ‘Pop’ Stoneman’s death, his daughter Patti gave up her solo career to join with Donna, Roni, Van and Jimmy and performed as the Stoneman Family. They did albums for Starday in 1962 and 1963 and in 1964, went to Texas and California, cutting an album for World Pacific, playing at Disneyland, performing on some network shows and at several folk festivals. In 1965, they went to Nashville, where they signed a contract with MGM Records and started a syndicated TV show. They received CMA's "Vocal Group of the Year" in 1967. Pop Stoneman died in 1968 at age 75. He is interred in the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.
Mance Lipscomb was an American blues singer, guitarist and songster. Born Beau De Glen Lipscomb, in his youth he took the name "Mance" (short for "emancipation"). Lipscomb spent most of his life working as a tenant farmer in Texas and was "discovered" and recorded in 1960 during the country blues revival. Lipscomb often honed his skills by playing in nearby Brenham, Texas, with a blind musician, Sam Rogers. His debut release was Texas Songster (1960). Lipscomb performed old songs like "Sugar Babe," "Shine On, Harvest Moon" and "It's a Long Way to Tipperary". In May 1963, Lipscomb appeared at the first Monterey Folk Festival in California. Following his "discovery", Lipscomb became an important figure in the folk music revival of the 1960's. An annual Navasota Blues Festival is held in his honor, and on August 12, 2011, a bronze sculpture of him was unveiled in Mance Lipscomb Park in Navasota.
American singer-songwriter, actor, activist and humanitarian whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer, starting in the 1970s. He was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists. By 1974, he was firmly established as America's best-selling performer, and AllMusic has described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers of his era.
Denver began his music career in folk music groups in the late 1960s. Throughout his life, Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed, with total sales of over 33 million earning him twelve gold and four platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky Mountain High", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "Sunshine on My Shoulders".
The Colorado state legislature adopted "Rocky Mountain High" as one of its state songs in 2007.
Collins' debut album A Maid of Constant Sorrow was released in 1961, but it was her cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now", the lead single from her 1967 album Wildflowers, that gave Collins international prominence. The single hit the Top 10 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and won Collins her first Grammy for Best Folk Performance. She enjoyed further success with her covers of "Someday Soon", "Chelsea Morning", "Amazing Grace",
While Collins' first few albums consisted of straightforward guitar-based folk songs, with 1966's In My Life, she began branching out and including work from such diverse sources as The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Jacques Brel, and Kurt Weill
Collins experienced the biggest successes of her career with her cover of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" earning her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance after her Grammy win for “Both Sides, Now” in 1969.
In 1963, Barry McGuire and Randy Sparks (founder of The New Christy Minstrels) co-wrote, and sang lead vocal on, the Christy's first and biggest hit single: "Green,Green." He left the Christy's in 1965, after recording the album, Cowboy's and Indians and the title cut on the album Chim Chim Cher-ee that same year. As a folk rock solo singer, he was best known for his hits "Eve of Destruction" and "Sins of the Family". In September of 1965,the single of "Eve of Destruction" went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, knocking "Help!" by the Beatles out of the top spot on the chart. McGuire later went on to become a pioneering singer and songwriter of contemporary Christian music.
Son of the legendary John Lomax, John Jr. traveled throughout the country with his father and brother Alan in the 1930's, helping him to gather folk song lyrics and recordings. In the 1950's, he founded the Houston Folklore Society which held regular meetings for many years and staged folk music concerts around the Houston area. In the 1960's, John sang at The Jester, and did so a cappella, as was his way. He felt that most of the traditional folk songs began unaccompanied, as they were first sung by field hands, prison work gangs, and cowboys on horseback, and so he performed them that way.
He managed Lightnin' Hopkins, and was instrumental in introducing Mance Lipscom and Zydeco accordianist Clifton Chenier to national and later international audiences. He also introduced all three men to filmmaker Les Blanc, which resulted in the documentary films The Blues According to Lightnin' Hopkins, A Life Well Spent (Mance Lipscom), and Spend It All (Clifton Chenier). As can be seen on the Music page of this website, John was kind enough to write the album notes for the Look, It's Us! album produced by Scott and Vivian Holtzman.
Arthur Hodges, Sarah Wiggins, Jim Gunn, Jenny Bell Dean and Alex Martin were and are important members of the Jester family. Bios for each will be added as information is found. If you have knowledge or photos of these artists, or of the Jester Lounge itself, please send it along as it would be a welcome addition to this project.
Finally - confirmation that Janis Joplin did indeed sing on Open Mic Night at The Jester in November of 1965. In the book "Janis, Her Life and Music" (Simon & Schuster, 2019) on pages 129-130, author Holly George-Warren writes:
She booked another Halfway House gig in Beaumont and then visited The Jester, a folk club in Houston where singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt played blues and country-and-western covers as well as dark originals such as "Waiting 'Round to Die". Janis auditioned there to mixed reviews, according to her old fling and Jester regular Frank Davis: "She was too damn strong for everybody." She did, however secure a gig at Sand Mountain in Houston for December. The coffeehouse was packed with well thought of folksingers, and she blew them away. They were astounded. Among them singer-songwriter Guy Clark who had seen her at The Jester and thought she "Wasn't making any compromises...it was far out".
As everyone knows, Janis went on to join Big Brother & The Holding Company, "astound them" at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock, record the #1 album "Cheap Thrills" and sashay her way into rock 'n roll history.
But first, she was a folk and blues singer.


Scott’s intimate, observational style of directing makes the viewer feel that they are there in the moment. Whether it’s part of New York subway dance crews in Litefeet or up close and personal with model of the moment Adwoa Aboah. Scott brings unique aspects of communities to screen in a visual style that captures the energy and culture of all walks of life.
His latest film is a stylised and intimate documentary that presents record-breaking, singer-songwriter Jess Glynne as she’s never been seen before. Having become the first female solo artist in British music history to have 7 number one singles, Scott joined Jess on her first arena tour and followed her as she developed her much anticipated second album.
Scott’s unique talents have seen him create work work for brands such as Ethiad, Chivas, Tate Modern, Martini and Jameson’s and his latest brand work, Clarks Originals, Kingston All Stars, won a Lovie Award for Best Branded Entertainment.


Previous Wonderbra Model Independent Escorts in Malaysia demonstrated that she’s despite everything got all the essential credits to get heart’s hustling when she stripped bare for a dip. In an advert for footwear organization Brian Atwood, Eva drops her sheer robe before entering the pool. This gives us simply sufficient opportunity to get a brief look at her ideal back, also her celebrated plentiful boobs. The multi-year old model turned into an easily recognized name when she shot to acclaim with her ‘Welcome Boys’ Wonderbra battle and her most recent shoots show that she’d not prepared to bid farewell to her demonstrating vocation at this time.
Television Presenter Melanie Sykes has demonstrated she’s a sucker for the sweet stuff by posting a photograph of herself secured from head to toe in chocolate. The photo, taken as a feature of the weight reduction organization Shape Smart’s crusade to urge ladies to delight their eating routine mysteries, was shared on Twitter with the subtitle ‘Uh oh! Passing by chocolate!’ and Melanie admitting to breaking her eating routine by tucking into a bar of Lindt chocolate orange. We can’t see anything incorrectly in a touch of chocolate once in a while, particularly when it looks in the same class as this.
As of late separated from Tom Cruise is never one to neglect an open door by. Indian Escorts in Shah Alam Malaysia is the most recent in a long queue of prominent on-screen characters to grab the eye of the on-screen character after they featured together in another film entitled Oblivion. Clearly the somewhat little star is absolutely stricken with the Ukrainian excellence and plans to tempt her during their forthcoming special visit by getting her sushi in the solace of his personal jet. It’s anything but difficult to perceive what the fascination is – Olga communicates in a few dialects, has an extraordinary comical inclination and is thoroughly shocking.


The other, more significant thing I hadn't realized is just who was in the circle of performers he started with, people not associated with SCTV (or that I associated with them). He was friends with Paul Shaffer, for example, long before Paul was part of Letterman's Late Night or Late Show and before his days at Saturday Night Live. (I also didn't know that Shaffer was part of SNL -- he played piano for Bill Murray's lounge singer, for example.) Short didn't just know Gilda Radner, but dated her in the days before Gene Wilder and Nancy Dolman. I knew that Short and Dolman had been married a long time, but I didn't realize that Dolman had been an actress (specifically, I remember her from the last season of Soap), nor did I know that she passed away a few years ago.
Right there, you know where the drama in the last part of the book stems from. The rest of the book, however, is his climb from humble beginnings into TV and movies, and the story behind so many of his characters. His name dropping is just whipped cream on top of the pie. He's brutally honest at times, but not indiscreet about those he's worked with and have been in his lives over the years.
I almost wish I can become famous enough to get invited to one of his parties.


One of several recent releases pertaining to Dolly Parton, She Come By It Natural by Sarah Smarsh takes on the iconic Country Music artist’s prolific career, more specifically how it relates to women. The author argues that, though Parton doesn’t specifically categorize herself as a feminist, her songs and work espouse feminist values without using the label. She’s a self-made woman, unapologetic for her personal style and talent, and confident enough to take criticism in stride with humor and grace. Coming from an impoverished family of 12 children in rural Tennessee, Dolly speaks not for the wealthy, but rather the hard-working and likely less privileged women that share a semblance of her early experiences. Her story is warm and relatable, and her hilarious one-liners certainly don’t hurt.

Nicole Kidman Signed as Etihad Brand Ambassador
In a bid to increase global awareness, Etihad Airways has announced the signing of Australian actress Nicole Kidman as their latest brand ambassador. Ms Kidman has featured in a video ad, part of which was filmed onboard an Etihad Airbus A380, and stills will be appearing in more than 130 countries around the world.
The campaign, launched this week, is aimed at raising global awareness and Ms Kidman was selected because, according to Peter Baumgartner, chief commercial officer for Etihad, “Nicole Kidman, as a globally respected artist, was the perfect voice and face for our story, and embodies worldly sophistications, intelligence, originality and elegance – values which form the foundations of the Etihad brand.”
Ms Kidman said she was impressed with the passenger services experience she had previously enjoyed with Etihad before joining the campaign. She said, “I loved doing it because I think The Residence is one of a kind, and it’s an apartment in the sky. I spent four days shooting on it and it still blows my mind that it is so big.”
Ms Kidman is not the first Australian actress to promote Etihad’s star Airbus, The Residence. Danii Minogue also worked with the airline last year.


The plans for Kobe and Gianna Bryant's upcoming public memorial service will reportedly be announced today (February 14).
According to TMZ, event organizers have been working closely with the Bryant family to finalize who will speak and who will be performing at the service, which will be held on February 24 at Los Angeles' Staples Center and is set to be televised live on multiple networks.
Tickets will reportedly be "available to the general public, although there will be a number of invited guests who get tickets first, including family, friends, players, NBA officials and, we're told, season ticket holders," TMZ reports. Sources told the outlet, "the seats that remain will be sold to the public at a price that reflects the memories of Kobe and Gigi."
One of the options reportedly being discussed is to sell the upper bowl seats at $24.02 — 24 representing Kobe's jersey number and 2 representing Gigi's — with the net proceeds going to a charity selected by the family.
On Thursday (February 13), Vanessa Bryant announced that her late husband's charity will have a new name to honor their 13-year-old daughter, who passed away alongside her father and seven others in a tragic helicopter crash last month.
"Because there is no #24 without #2, we have updated the Mamba Sports Foundation to now be called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation," Vanessa captioned an Instagram photo of the charity's new logo. "Our mission remains the same – and stronger than ever – to provide opportunities to young people through sports. Thank you all for the outpouring of support and your kind donations to date as we carry forth Kobe and Gigi’s legacy. We hope to empower young athletes in a world they left us all to help shape. #Mamba #Mambacita."
News of the charity's renaming comes days after it was reported that Kobe and Gigi had been laid to rest in a private family service at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona Del Mar, California, on Friday (February 7).

I had more fun talking to Sandy Buffie this week. She’s funny, she’s talented, and she’s doing good work: the proceeds from her portraits go to various charities, as you’ll hear in the podcast.
You can see more on Sandy’s profile page, here.
What does Sandy do? She makes portrtaits–often of celebrities like Tommy LaSorda, Jay Leno, Johnny Dep as Jack Sparrow–out of dryer lint. And not special, pure-as-the-driven-snow dryer lint, but just regular-from-your-own-house dryer lint. And they turn out like this:
Amazing, right? Go to Sandy’s website to see more, and click on the photo below to go to the podcast page, where you can listen to us talk about lint, re-using, and why Sandy does what she does.

California's Gold host and public television icon Huell Howser died Sunday night at the age of 67, Los Angeles Times reports. Howser was known for his enthusiasm for California's historical and natural sights, businesses, and residents.
"Every night on KCET, Huell introduced us to people we would not have otherwise met, and took us to places we would not have otherwise have traveled," KCET President and Chief Executive Al Jerome said in a statement, according to the Times.
Howser stopped by Fosselman's Ice Cream Company in Alhambra and described the shoppe as the "best ice cream and nicest family in town." Watch the video below.


Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Some celebrities have never shied away from expressing their love for weed. With talent, fame, and fortune comes the good things in life, which included top-shelf cannabis for many celebrities, according to MarijuanaDoctors.com.
In 2021 with the possibility of federal legalization on the horizon, the stigma about cannabis has figuratively “gone up in smoke.” What is left of the opposition to cannabis falls short in terms of proof that long-term use of cannabis is hazardous when many global clinical studies continue to share the healing and wellness potential of pot.
Celebrities live with the same stressors and challenges that we all face. They just have a little more money to cope with those stressors. But humans have been using medicinal cannabis for more than 5,000 years. And the success of medical cannabis programs in thirty-six (36) states in America validates marijuana as a wellness option.
Breaking through the stigma of cannabis as “the devil’s lettuce” or a dangerous drug has been difficult. Celebrities were an essential part in the shift in social opinion. And the advocacy of musicians, actors, and even business leaders helped pot move from sketchy headshops to licensed dispensaries.
Since the legalization of medical cannabis and adult-use (in some states), celebrities have felt more comfortable talking about marijuana. And discussing why they use it. From anxiety to depression or struggles with physical impairments or chronic pain. Here are seven celebrities that helped normalize cannabis culture in America.
- Willie Nelson
How could you start any list of 420-friendly celebrities and leave Willie Nelson off the list? If there were a veritable poster child for cannabis (aside from Bob Marley and Tommy Chong), it would be Nelson. The crooner has never tried to hide that he loves weed. And it has got him into trouble a few times.
“I’m kind of the canary in the mine if people are wondering what happens if you smoke that shit a long time,” he says. “You know, if I start jerking or shaking or something, don’t give me no more weed. But as long as I’m all right …”
Source Web 2021: Rolling Stone
In a 2019 interview with Patrick Doyle for Rolling Stone, Willie Nelson shares that cannabis may have “saved his life.” Nelson is now 87 years old and has emphysema from years of smoking cigarettes. And while he avoids hitting a bong or vape when he can now, he is a fan of tinctures. Willie Nelson quit smoking after chronic pneumonia by substituting pre-rolls for cigarettes.
Since Willie Nelson is a veritable expert in all things cannabis, he started his own grow and company. Willie Nelson grows hemp and produces everything from tinctures to infused teas and coffees. The “Willie’s Remedy” brand is 100% hemp-derived. Nelson also started “Willie’s Reserve,” which sells top-shelf flower, vape carts, and edibles.
- Seth Rogen
How many movies can you think of where Seth Rogen plays a loveable pothead? There’s “Knocked Up” and “Neighbors,” and who could forget his role in “The Interview?” with James Franco. Interestingly, Franco shares that he hasn’t smoked weed in years because he gets anxiety from it.
During an interview on e-online confirms that Rogen never has smoked-up with Franco. He recited a long list of celebrities, however, that he had smoked with. And Seth Rogen thought it was sad that Franco abstained:
“I’ve never smoked weed with James Franco because he doesn’t smoke weed. That’s why he’s such a good actor! It’s really sad, actually.”
Seth Rogen admits that he doesn’t just smoke cannabis; it is part of his daily life. And he has also shared in multiple interviews that some of his best scenes were filmed after he hit his bong. Not like we didn’t already know that, Seth.
- Bob Marley
The King of sweet Caribbean beats and Rastafarian relaxation. Bob Marley smoked marijuana because it was part of his culture. As Marley was Rasta, using “ganja” is considered to be a religious sacrament. In Rastafarianism, marijuana isn’t consumed for recreation. It is always used medicinally, for symptom relief, or during meditation to reach the ‘higher self”.
“Herb is the healing of a nation. Alcohol is the destruction.” —Bob Marley
Sadly, it was because of his religious convictions that Bob Marley died. The legendary singer developed skin cancer on one of his toes but would not allow an amputation. The procedure could have saved his life but was against his natural world and Rastafarian beliefs.
- Steve Jobs
One of the most innovative technology brains to ever walk the planet. Entrepreneur and global business phenom Steve Jobs had a side many people didn’t know about. Jobs was hardcore into meditation and yoga.
“The best way I would describe the effect of marijuana and the hashish is that it would make me relaxed and creative.” —Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs spent a lot of time in his youth, living in India. At his funeral in 2011, a free copy of a book was provided to guests. It was the “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yoganada. Not to imply that everyone who meditates or does yoga smokes weed. A lot of them do, like Steve Jobs did, to relax, release and create. Cannabis could be the reason why Apple products are so awesome.
- Charlize Theron
There’s something about Mary indeed. She’s baked! And unabashed about it. The South African actress, producer, and celebrity has won an Academy Award. Theron has also chalked up a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award. Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
“I was a wake-and-baker for most of my life. I really appreciate marijuana way more than alcohol or anything else.” —Charlize Theron
Talk about busting stigmas about people who smoke weed! But Charlize Theron said she gave up smoking cannabis in her thirties because: “I just became boring on it, and I would just stand in front of my fridge.” Does anyone care whether they are entertaining or not when they are stoned? Apparently, some people do.
- Kevin Smith
When the first movie “Clerks” hit theaters in 1994, a star was born. No one had really heard about Kevin Smith until he owned the character “Silent Bob.” Jay and Silent Bob became a pop culture sensation. In total, the franchise spawned eight movies, including “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
“I made a deal with myself that whenever I smoke weed, I have to be doing something productive: writing, recording, cutting a podcast, editing, etc.” — Kevin Smith
Kevin Smith and his co-star, Jason Mewes, started “Caviar Gold,” which is his entry into the celebrity cannabis market. How top shelf is the bud at Caviar Gold? They are selling new Super Sativa and Super Indica strains. And the names of the hybrid strains are fan-favorite words from the Jay and Silent Bob dictionary. Examples like ‘Snoogans’ and ‘Snoochie Boochies.’
- Hugh Hefner
Surprised that cannabis was a favorite of the late Hugh Hefner. Playboy Mansion, after all, was an adult playground. Although few guests have gone on record, we’re sure there was more than cigars and champagne flowing at each pajama party because the mogul loved marijuana.
“Smoking helped put me in touch with the realm of the senses.” —Hugh Hefner
Not many people know that Hefner was a cannabis advocate. In fact, he was a supporter of NORML when it first launched in 1970. He contributed funds to help get it off the ground. Some have suggested that Hefner may have donated up to $100,000 per year to support NORML.
During the era of “Reefer Madness” anti-cannabis propaganda, Hugh Hefner remained an outspoken advocate of weed. All the way back to the early seventies! That makes Hefner (and all the celebrities on this list) true OG.

Dabashi: Slavoj Zizek and Harum Scarum
In Gene Nelson’s “Harum Scarum” (1965), featuring Elvis Presley as the Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Tyronne, we meet the action movie star travelling through the Orient while promoting his new film, “Sands of the Desert”. Upon arrival, however, Elvis Presley/Johnny Tyronne is kidnapped by a gang of assassins led by a temptress “Oriental” named Aishah, who wish to hire him to carry out an assassination. Emboldened by proper “Western virtues”, Elvis will do no such thing and manages to sing and dance his way out of the way of the conniving “Orientals”.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Slavoj Zizek, the Slovenian philosopher, made a rather abrupt staccato observation – a hit-and-run strike worthy of an action hero – very much reminiscent of the fate of Elvis Presley and his Oriental sojourn:

Yes, I've been absent from the blog for quite a long time. Lately I have been uninspired
by my outfits and quite frankly uninspired by anything.
The weather here is still very warm and I'm still wearing "summer" clothing.
I've purchased a few pieces for "fall" and the colder weather, but they are still sitting in my closet.
I've been feeling frustrated lately, and have been dealing with personal struggles,
that I'm not going to really get into on this blog.
To sum it up, it's pretty much the "wanting to do it all, but not having enough time to do it" syndrome.
That just means your time management sucks.
But anyways, enough about that!
Let's talk about how awesome Gwen Stefani's style is!!!!
I have a very popular post about her here,
and I wanted to share some pics of her again.
Did you know she is expecting again?!?!?
She hasn't officially confirmed it, but
I saw some recent pictures of her in a gown with her holding her tummy!
Congrats to her and Gavin! :)


Azura Amphitheater | Bonner Springs, Kansas
With all the fantastic news coming out of the Hozier camp, it's just about like you get a cake and the chance to eat the whole thing. The champion of folk music is doing it large with a second round of dates for his super successful "Unreal Unearth" tour for 2024. Not only that, but you’re also going to get a special guest in the form of Allison Russell and a production team that will bring you the best experience on the planet. With such wonderful news, tickets are going to sell out faster than you can blink, but don't fret. We've got tickets for the Azura Amphitheater on August 9th, 2024, but you've got to be quick to secure them, as they won't be around for long. Grabbing them is as easy as 123, so hit the "Get Tickets" button above, follow the simple prompts, and get it done right now.
Hozier, whose real name is Andrew Hozier-Byrne, is undeniably one of the most popular folk musicians working today. In 2012, while singing with the Irish vocal group Anúna, the Irish singer-songwriter embarked on a solo career. A year later, he released his first song, "Take Me to Church," which caused quite a stir in the industry and propelled him to number two on the Billboard Hot 100. This success paved the way for his self-titled debut album, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. In addition to being the most-shared song on Spotify in 2014 and garnering his first Grammy nomination, "Take Me To Church" has become THE anthem for an entire generation.
Hozier has been busy entertaining fans in 2023 with his "Unreal Unearth" in sold-out arenas everywhere, but demand for his presence is high. He recently shared the news that he will be performing in the spring and summer of 2024 around North America again. The new live performances will begin on April 20 in Raleigh, NC, and continue until the last engagement in Los Angeles on September 17. Fans will be happy to hear this, since the first tour was such a smashing success.
His Instagram post, which said, "After the sweetest run of US shows, I'm delighted to announce these brand new #UnrealUnearth tour dates for next year 🖤," was the source of the news. During June, Hozier will also make a few stops in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In July, he will resume his tour of the United States. Among the many cities he will be performing at during the 37-date tour include San Diego, Orlando, Denver, and Austin.
You can expect to be completely enthralled by the whole thing, which the folk singer is enhancing with the addition of Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Russell. Brand-new songs, a spectacular special guest, and a massive series of shows—the singer's fans have never had it so good, but tickets are already in short supply. Your job now is to take advantage of our limited stock and grab your tickets by clicking the "GET TICKETS" button.


20+ Celebrities with Veneers
Every time we see a celebrity, whether it’s in a magazine or a movie, one of the first things we notice is their smile. That in fact can be said for all of us. Our smile can say a lot of things, but how can us normal folk replicate a celebrity smile? Two words, dental veneers. While teeth whitening and teeth straightening offer amazing results, there is nothing that says celebrity smile like dental veneers. Luckily for the rest of us dental veneers are a mere phone call away.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are essentially a casing of porcelain that is used to enhance the teeth by attaching it to them. Veneers can help bridge the teeth gaps, give a length to the otherwise shorter teeth and disguise your crooked smile. The procedure is quite straightforward. The tooth is drilled and the porcelain is attached to the tooth to enhance the look. More for praise is the fact that it is highly customizable and gives your teeth a permanent fix.
For your enjoyment we have created a list of celebrities who transformed their drab smiles into their million-dollar smiles we know and love.
- Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise’s smile has had a lot of help along the way including teeth straightening and whitening.
Dental veneers Balwyn
- Zac Efron
Zac didn’t start off with bad teeth but from the pictures you can see he’s definitely had dental procedures including dental veneers.
- Nicolas Cage
The drastic improvement dental veneers have had on Nicolas Cage’s smile speaks for itself.
Dental veneers Deepdene

He is considered to be one of the most handsome men in the industry but not everything was picture perfect when he landed on our big screens. Several dental procedures including teeth straightening and dental veneers has kept this leading man smiling for good.
- Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey’s smile is wide and infectious. This wouldn’t be possible without the help of dental veneers.
- Morgan Freeman

Dental Veneers Mont Albert
- Demi Moore
Demi Moore, undoubtedly, looks better than most actors half her age but it takes some work particularly in the dental department. Dental veneers have transformed her smile making her look more stunning than usual!
- Celine Dion
Before Celine Dion was famous, she had misaligned and stained teeth. A set of dental veneers later and this songstress is continuing to sing like an angel!
- Niall Horan
As a part of one of the most popular boy bands, One Direction, Niall Horan’s smile needed some work. With a little help from braces and dental veneers he continues to make teenage girls swoon.
Dental veneers Surrey Hills
- Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus was everyone’s sweetheart when she came on Disney channel as the sweet and charming Hannah Montana. However, her crooked smile wasn’t as charming. Her gorgeous smile is all thanks to dental veneers.
- Cardi B
Cardi B sang about her smile transformation in her song Bodak Yellow , “got a bag and fixed [her] teeth.” Her $40,000 dental veneers are proof that sometimes money can buy happiness!
Dental veneers Camberwell
- Meghan Markle
So who really thought that there might be veneers behind that million-dollar royal smile? As a young girl, Meghan had braces but rumors are that she got veneers to get them fixed.
- Cheryl Cole
There’s no denying that Cheryl Cole from the British version of The X Factor is stunning but her smile after dental veneers is something else.
- Victoria Beckham
This former Spice Girls member is known for her haute couture style and fashion. She is one of the most famous Spice Girls that our generation has ever known. However, as a kid, she had nothing glamorous going on with her teeth. Naturally, she had to join the list of the celebrities with perfect teeth and it was in the 90s when she opted to get the veneers done for herself. Look at her now!
Dental veneers Hawthorn
- 50 Cent
50 Cent had to pay a little more than 50 cents for his smile transformation but it was completely worth every cent!
- Gray Busey
Gary Busey is known for some wild antics and none more so than his oversized dental veneers. The reason for his cosmetic alteration was a result of motorbike accident in the late 80s which severely damaged his face. While he corrected the rest of his face, he opted a set of oversized teeth which only he can pull off.
- Keith Urban
Keith Urban looks handsome as ever but before he looked like this, he had a gap in his teeth which is quite evident in his early photos. His teeth now look aligned and whiter. While we can’t confirm dental veneers created his gorgeous smile, we think he’s worth adding to this list.
Dental Veneers Kew
- Chris Rock
Chris Rock, like many actors and actresses of his time, was also insecure about how he looked. The greatest of all his insecurities were his crooked teeth which he thought formed an upside-down V shape. We don’t see anything to be insecure about here, his dental veneers look amazing!
- NeNe Leakes
Nene Leakes became famous by featuring in the show Real Housewives and quickly became a household name. As soon as she peaked in her career, she decided to get her teeth done which she said was her desire for so long. She spent a whopping 50 thousand dollars on the set to make sure her teeth are sparkling as bright as her career. This made her teeth look even more aligned and she sparks her picture-perfect smile all the time. I bet it was worth it for her.
- Joe Biden
The news is that he spent a whopping 20 thousand US dollars on his ceramic veneers before he got ready for his campaigns. His teeth now do look better aligned and shinier than they were ever before.
- Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo, an inspiration to millions of boys and girls. However, as amazing as he was on afootball field, his teeth were not as perfect as his athletic ability. Some dental procedures including dental veneers and we can continue to marvel at this perfect specimen of a man.
- Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas has always had a great set of teeth but the discoloration that comes with age was a problem. He decided to nip the bud and got himself porcelain teeth which really gave him a beautiful smile. It seems like he couldn’t be any happier because he is often seen flashing his pearly whites.
- Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale is a natural beauty but her smile let her down. She has said in past interviews that her veneers have blended really well with other features of her face totally transforming her look.
- Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman had a lovely smile but her teeth were rather small. Dental veneers have transformed this Hollywood beauty from girl next door to leading lady.
How can I transform my own smile?
If you are unhappy with your smile or probably think that your teeth could look better, you should consider dental veneers.
If you have any of these, you may want to consider veneers:
- If your teeth are broken, cracked, chipped because of an accident. Veneers can help restore the natural shape of your teeth.
- If stained teeth are a major problem then veneers will instantly transform the color of your teeth.
- Any gaps whether big or small can be addressed with veneers.
With all dental procedures it is advisable to see your dentist for a thorough consultation. At Tower Dental we want you to love your smile, if you’re thinking about transforming your smile, please come in and see us.


Marilyn Monroe is an icon of early 1900 pop culture, and this wise remark shows that she also wanted to help the world. Everyone knows that Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful celebrity.

No matter how famous she got, Marilyn Monroe knew how to help others. This wall mural quotes one of her spunky statements! If you’ve ever wished for world peace or more happiness on other people, This wall decal is a perfect item from your house.

She debuted the new shade on Instagram with the caption, “Meet Ice.” Then followed up with a thank you to celebrity hair stylist, Sami Knight, who she says, “hooked my huuuuuur up.”
As for the big question: Is it a wig or a dye job? There’s a lot pointing to a true hair colouring. First, she’s had a sharp chin-length bob since January (and her current look as the exact same cut). And second, she’s been prepping for the colour by pre-lightening her hair. She went neon pink two weeks ago, then platinum blonde one week ago, making us believe it was a plan to phase out the colour to prep for the new pastel baby blue.
You can create this look by using the following two products: click here
What do you think? We are loving her new look?

Back in 2004, the cast of Friends sat down with Oprah to discuss the end of the series. At the time, Courteney Cox was pregnant, Matt LeBlanc’s then-wife who was in the audience was pregnant and Lisa Kudrow’s son was about five.They talked about babies, weddings, Matthew Perry’s struggles with addiction and how much the six of them loved each other. Oprah had each cast member give a little eulogy of sorts on what they adored the most about the other. Jennifer Aniston, to anyone who has seen this interview, cried through the entire show. She had trouble getting words out and her love of those five was truly felt. It was during that interview that Oprah also asked if Aniston was planning on having babies with her husband at the time, Brad Pitt.
I do not know for certain if this is when the “Jennifer Aniston wanting babies narrative” officially began or if it began earlier but I remember in that moment of pure emotion, with her job ending after ten years, a job that by all reports she loved, she had said yes. Watching that interview again, I can’t help but wonder if Oprah had followed up the question with, “and would you like six children named Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey” would she have said yes to that as well? It was the question and the timing which was all manipulated to get a certain answer and she gave the answer. Overwhelmed by emotion, sitting by five people whom she had worked so closely with for ten years, at that moment she may have indeed wanted six children so she could name them Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey and never let go of those characters.
Friends ended though and the narrative continued. She and Brad Pitt divorced, she dated like a boss and yet every single week it seems yet another glossy headline in neon screams about how Jennifer Aniston is pregnant. I, as a fan, have been sitting back and waiting the moment in which she snaps.
My fantasy was that a reporter would ask her one more time about Brad Pitt and also when she wanted to have children and then she would just transform into some action superhero kickboxer girl and alternate between kicking and cussing out the reporter who asked yet again. Of course, leave it to Jennifer Aniston to choose a much more classy and less violent way. She wrote an Op-Ed for Huffington Post where she called out the tabloids for keeping this story alive. Where an unflattering paparazzi photo where she was sort of slouching was instantly equated with her being pregnant.
The link to this piece is here:
Women everywhere applauded her and Piers Morgan went against her referring to the hundreds of glossy magazine photos that Jennifer Aniston poses for. This made me scratch my head wondering if Piers Morgan knew the difference between a photo that she wasn’t aware was being taken and a photo shoot where she gets all made up and fancy. The narrative does need to stop. This is someone who has had an eclectic career, parts that are intriguing and some I have questions about. No woman wants to discuss a painful break up she had twelve years ago, even if that break up was with Brad Pitt. The question of having children is a personal one for every woman. Does she want one? Does she not? Maybe she has her reasons and maybe it’s none of our business.
In fact, I have many other questions that I would love to ask Jennifer Aniston if I ever got the chance to interview her and here is the part where I play pretend and be ridiculously presumptuous and suggest some questions of my own. Sure, why not? That’s professional….or not.
Okay, here I go:
- An apology. Yes, I know that seems strange but I have my reasons. In 1995, I was a teenager and Jennifer Aniston had a haircut. It was the Rachel ‘Do. I wanted that haircut, got it and then looked like an electrocuted poodle. She has since stated many times over that she hated that hair style and my teenaged self is still bitter and would have liked this information back in the 90’s. So I would like an apology.
- Will she be doing more independent films? Friends with Money. Good Girl. Cake. She has often been accused of playing Rachel Green in every movie, watch those three and it’s clear that this woman has talent. I love when she plays these roles and I hope she chooses more.
- Speaking of Cake, she played a woman struggling with a painkiller addiction. She spent ten years on a television show working with Matthew Perry, someone who has been very vocal about his struggles with painkillers. Did she talk to him while researching? Did it give her more insight into what he went through?
- Also, it has been said that she is the type of actress who works from her heart, reacting off of what someone else has said or done. Addiction is said to be a very selfish disease, so did she have to change her process? Change how she took on the character.
- What about favorite directors? Favorite roles? Anything she would like to appear on? Can we please give Leprechaun the love it truly deserves?
So maybe these questions are awesome, maybe not and people will be using these questions as the exact reason why I should not be employed in entertainment. Whatever the end result might be. I just think there’s so much there and so much more to talk about. This whole thing has grown tired. Let’s discuss something else, perhaps let’s discuss an actress that’s had a long career that has seen some amazing ups and some painful downs. Let’s talk about the career, there’s gotta be some more entertaining answers there then her reps once again having to release yet another statement saying that their client is not pregnant.
