Reasons I love Megan Denise Fox.
Because if I don’t stand up for her, who will? Okay, I can name about 6 people that will, but we’re small voices that can’t do anything. But I’m not gonna stop standing up for her. Even if the media refuses to NOT take Michael’s side.
You don’t have to be a fan of Megan Fox to acknowledge the injustice Megan suffered on the set of Transformers from Michael Bay and his “loyal” crew. When Megan’s comment on Michael Bay came out, everyone sided with Michael Bay, calling Megan a “brat” or “ungrateful” and saying she should have kept her mouth shut. These are grown ass men and they couldn’t shrug off a comment from a 23 year old woman. This Behind the Scene clip is just a glimpse and I cannot even imagine what ended up on the cutting room floor. Detailed bullet point of their relationship throughout the years. (stops after Jonah Hex) [x]
Michael made Megan model wardrobe options (short shorts and belly tops) in front of a room full of men, made her audition by washing his car in a bikini while he filmed it (of which Michael Bay hasn’t denied) And while the disgusting 3 quarters of the planet will side with Michael saying Megan’s a “whore” and “agreed to it anyways” or “asked for it”, do not know her side of the story. Megan’s wanted to act for her entire life stemming from Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe.Day in and day out for both Transformers movies, Megan had this tyrant barking orders at her about bending over the car, arch her back and dictating what she wore and even naming her character after himself. Michael Bay is disgusting. I don’t care what Megan says about him now, it doesn’t excuse how he treated her and dragged her name through the mud. Megan’s been on 12 movies so far and has only had ONE crew complain about her. But to this day, people BELIEVE she’s the bad one to work with. That’s the power of this piece of shit, Michael Bay.

Joan proceeded to get herself booked, solo, on a local TV show. The afternoon it was scheduled to be shown, she asked Bob Aldrich if she could watch it at work. “Bob Aldrich had a portable TV brought to the soundstage,” said Bob Gary. [script supervisor] “We all sat around this big oval table to watch the show. There was a chair for Joan, and one for Bette, and in between them Bette placed a chair for her Baby Jane doll. When the show began, Bette got up and went to a corner of the room where a phonograph was set up. As soon as Joan appeared on the TV, Bette turned on the phonograph and began to play her Baby Jane song (“I’ve Written a Letter to Daddy”). While Joan was trying to watch herself on TV, Bette was dancing and singing in the corner, as loud as she could.
Just that nosey Mrs. Bates going on
about your picture last night.
“Bette is of a different temperament than I. She has to yell every morning. So I just sat and knitted. I knitted a scarf from Hollywood to Malibu.” — Joan Crawford
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in a publicity still for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, 1962.
A year would pass before Davis would offer a comment on the death of her most faithful and formidable rival. The occasion was the Academy Awards ceremonies in Hollywood, which featured a special tribute to the stars who had died the previous year. As Sammy Davis, Jr., sang “Come Light the Candles”, Bette was backstage watching the tribute on television, in a dressing room with Green Garson, Barbara Stanwyck and Olivia de Havilland. As the song was ending and photographs of the deceased — Charles Chaplin, Groucho Marx, Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley — appeared on the TV monitors, Bette stood up and prepared for her appearance as a presenter. Suddenly the sound of a tumultuos ovation filled the entire auditorium. Appearing on the giant screen and monitors was the luminous face of the ultimate movie star, Joan Crawford. Looking up at the wide, lustrous eyes of Crawford, Bette Davis paused, nodded, then, clipping each syllable, bestowed a final benediction on her long-time rival. “Poor Joan,” said Bette, “gone but not forgotten. Bless you!” And then she exited the room to seize the stage for her own appearance.
Bette & Joan — The Divine Feud
Blanche: You wouldn’t be able to do these awful things to me if I weren’t still in this chair.
Jane: But you are, Blanche! You are in that chair!


“Kanika Moore is an undeniable force!”
With all of the different genres and influences that have shaped Moore, there has always been one thing about music that has stood out to her. “Most of all, I love the different ways music makes people feel,” says Moore. Not only does Moore enjoy the way music makes her feel, but she wants the crowd to be moved as well.
As the frontwoman for electro-pop powerhouse, Doom Flamingo, she has captured the moving rhythms of music and intertwined them with her own unique voice and fashion style. Her original tone and seamless effort are impossible to ignore. Kanika Moore is the type of entertainer that walks onto a stage with an abundance of talent, glowing front and center, and her path to the spotlight has been honest and well-deserved.


Alyson Hannigan turns 34 today. She’s had a lucrative acting career even before Lily Aldrin was one half of L.A.M.E. We first saw her as the band camp geek from the American Pie movies. Then she played Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer—one of her most memorable roles. She’s also appeared on Veronica Mars. With her film and television roster, and her girl-next-door charms, Hannigan has set geek’s hearts swooning for many years.
In Alyson’s honor, here is a short bio:

James Packer has returned to business after a nightmare year, which included a highly publicised split with Mariah Carey and business empire woes.
Mr Packer, who turned 50 in September, appeared after a public appearance hiatus following his high profile break-up with the singer-songwriter.
And then last weekend, after jetting off to Mexico, the unlucky-in-love billionaire was photographed sunning himself on deck aboard a yacht off the resort town of Cabo San Lucas.
Relaxing with three male friends aboard the Ganesh A, he sat around in Speedos chatting and eating in front of a giant image of Marilyn Monroe.
The third generation tycoon, who is the son of the late media magnate Kerry Packer, appeared to have have put back on the weight he lost before his break from public life.
Five years ago, Mr Packer was photographed in the surf sporting a six pack after a 35kg weight loss following lap band surgery.
Mr Packer celebrated his half-century birthday milestone last month at his Ellerstina polo ranch in Argentina with perhaps a rueful look back at the year just gone.
His challenging year saw his Crown empire expansions curtailed and the end of his relationship with superstar Carey.
Mr Packer had appeared trim and fit during his relationship with the entertainer, which ended in October last year.
The split came within days of the arrest of 19 of Packer’s Crown Resorts employees in Shanghai for allegedly chasing high roller gamblers.
Crown sold its interests in joint-venture casinos in Macau soon after. The Chinese Government, which deems gambling illegal, released the staffers and fined Crown $1.67m.
To add to Mr Packer’s problems, his friendship with Benjamin Netanyahu was aired during an inquiry into unsubstantiated claims about the Israeli prime minister.
Earlier this year, Mr Packer vanished from sight, reportedly holed up in California and Argentina in the wake of his turbulent break-up and business woes.
He re-emerged in June aboard his superboat, Arctic P, moored in French Polynesia when he was joined by Today show host Karl Stefanovic, 43, and his girlfriend Jasmine Yarbrough, 33.
And on Thursday last week, with his Crown Resorts executive chairman John Alexander, Mr Packer strode into the annual general meeting in Melbourne.

Sharon Stone in her microblog published a joint photo of 59-year-old sister Kelly and their mother, 86-year-old Dorothy Stone. The publication caused a huge resonance among subscribers, as in August Sharon announced that Kelly had contracted the Covid-19 virus and was hospitalized. At the same time, the forecasts were the most alarming, since the virus was superimposed on an immune chronic disease – lupus erythematosus.
The Hollywood star blamed the incident on those irresponsible people who violate the mask regime: “My sister Kelly, who already suffers from lupus, is now also sick with coronavirus. One of you, opponents of the masks, did it and infected her. She has no immunity . Wear a mask – for yourself and for the sake of other people!.
Today Sharon Stone has delighted fans – Kelly is quite healthy.
However, the subscribers still have many questions: how did the disease go, is it not dangerous for Kelly to be near her elderly mother – after all, Dorothy is at risk. Sharon has not yet commented.


The son of immigrants from Guangdong Province, Henry Yuk was born and raised in Brooklyn, where he lives today. He graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in English and Education. His introduction to theater came when his drama teacher at Midwood High School got him involved in “Sing,” a NYC high school performance program. However, his early career was in education and childcare, first teaching at three Brooklyn public schools & subsequently directing a Chinatown day care center for 6 years.
His interest in theater did not wane, and opportunity presented itself later when he was invited to join the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre Company. During this time, he performed in numerous productions, including “Yellow Fever,” where he played the role of Chuck Chan.
Meanwhile, he also was developing experience in film. His first SAG job was in the movie “Eyewitness.” This led to several small roles in other films, until he landed a more significant role in “The Last Dragon” which has since become a cult classic. Roles since then have included General Tan in Martin Scorsese’s “Kundun,” and Sung Yon Kim in the “Sopranos.”
Henry has a warm personality with a keen sense of humor, which can be subtle and cerebral or antic and physical. At the same time, he is quite adept at dramatic and more sensitive roles. Henry speaks Cantonese and Taishanese dialect. While he speaks perfect American English, he has also played roles with Asian accents. His credits include voiceovers and narration.

Justin & I were recently asked to do an interview by the adorable Anna Costa of Michael + Anna Costa fame for their super cool new forum, Photo For the People. You can check out the transcripts of the interview HERE .
And make sure to tune back in THIS THURSDAY at 7pm EST for a LIVE CHAT with us. Since we just finished up the PUG tour for "Creating Loyalty Beyond Reason," Anna thought it would be awesome for us to do the chat so we can answer any questions people had after seeing the talk. We're also gearing up to release V 2.0 of the talk this fall so we can talk a little bit about that too! You'll just need to go and REGISTER with PFTP before the chat to be able to log on and ask question. We'll see you there!!


The major takeaway was that Jay Leno's chirpy, non-threatening personality and bland, by-the-book interviewing style won him the favor of advertisers, who appear to have made the decision for NBC's executive eunuchs.
Fortunately for us, Letterman dusted himself off, moved his quirky, no-bullshit approach from NBC to CBS, and ultimately outlasted Leno. Last night Letterman announced his retirement.
Letterman won't be off the air until 2015, but now is as good a time as any to take a quick look at some highlights of America's ballsiest, most offbeat late night host.
***"Late Night with David Letterman" began in 1982. That same year, professional provocateur Andy Kaufman—one of Letterman's regular guests—faced off against Jerry Lawler, who (Kaufman claimed) had injured him in a televised wrestling match a few months earlier.
Crispin Glover may've been the most bizarre Letterman guest ever in this 1987 appearance.
Letterman has distinguished himself from other talk show hosts by testing many of his guests rather than merely going through the predictable rituals of mutual admiration. Some of his interviewees have pushed back, including Madonna, who gave as good as she got in this free-flowing 1994 interview.
In 2009, unbeknownst to viewers—and Letterman himself—Joaquin Phoenix affected the role of a borderline catatonic as part of an ongoing series of media stunts which he chronicled in the documentary "I'm Still Here." Rather than hold Phoenix's hand through the interview to minimize the discomfort of the moment, Dave responded with the acerbic gusto that has always set him apart from his peers. (Phoenix later explained in a return interview that he had come on the show hoping for "a beat down," and was happy that Dave had obliged.)


In July of 2013, I spent a day at the Figueroa Hotel in Downtown LA. with MIRANDA JACKSON.
She said she wanted some pics for her website bio page. We wandered every inch of that hotel as “guests taking photos” (they wouldn’t authorize a photo shoot by any means). She had 5 of the most amazing Miranda-styled outfits. And though this posthumous release of photos was never approved by MJ, I think she would at the least want everyone to know she sparkled her way to the roof of the Figueroa Hotel (thanks intrigued maintenance guy).


Anne Rice. When people hear her name, many immediately think of her wildly successful vampire books–books that have inspired films, television adaptations, live theater performance, comics, fan fiction and even music. We’re talking sales of 100 million books worldwide. Now that’s an audience!
What some don’t know is that in 2004, Rice announced that she had returned to the faith of her childhood and had determined that from that time forward she would “write only for the Lord,” leaving behind the “aetheistic despair, searching and misery” she had been mired in.
Since that time, her books “Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt” and “Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana,” (the first two books in a planned trilogy) and “Angel Time” have been published. “Angel Time: The Songs of the Seraphim” hit the shelves in October 2009.
On January 14, Rice appeared in an interview on The 700 Club. In the interview, she talks about her search for God and her subsequent return to the faith. With many of her loyal fans following her story, she has had opportunity to respond to others who are reaching out to escape the misery and search for meaning they identified with in her vampire books. What journey she has made.
You can see for yourself Rice’s current projects and story at her website:
She also has a Facebook fan page at:

St. Fred actor makes waves
by Sunny Meriwether - posted Thursday, February 21st, 2013 @ 12:00 pm
A young former resident of Ouachita Parish is earning critical acclaim for his acting, particularly in the relatively new genre of web-TV series.
Chase Coleman, the son of Dr. Ed and Renee Coleman, is one of the stars of "In Between Men" by Qubed Prod and also has a recurring role on "The Americans," on the FX network.

However, after five years, it was getting hard to get members of the group together to rehearse, and he decided he wanted to do something creative on his own.

‘Imitation Game’ Star Benedict Cumberbatch on Why There Are No Sex Scenes
Watch this. It’s SeriousBatch at his finest. I’ll admit, his obvious intelligence and his way with words kind of intimidates me.
Intimidating, but a huge turn on at the same time. Also, to him acting is all about being subtle, he doesn’t need to be and doesn’t want to be “in your face”. I love that about his acting and his role choices.
Also, a “gay sex scene with Benedict Cumberbatch” would have been all people talk about and would have been gifed to death on this very website.

Re: Re: Ruffles and Bonnet Bell
Hi Garry, glad to see your post(s) on one of my favorite bell types – metal figurine bells. This pretty lady is considered to be Jenny Lind – (1820-1887)
The 19th century singer referred to as ‘The Swedish Nightingale’.
Jenny Lind seems to have been a favorite of figurine bell manufacturers from the late 1800’s to the mid 1900’s. Figurine bells named “Jenny Lind” are available in a wide variety of poses, sizes and quality from quite a few manufacutures. I have posted 3 examples here from my collection – there are many more poses. You have an example of yet another version / manufactuer.
I am rather skeptical of the fact that she is completely made of copper. Only because it is rare to see fully copper figurine bells. I suspect the brass mixture might have contained more copper than usual – thus the color tinting. However maybe one of our metal content specialists may have more of a scientific answer.
Just for fun, I have posted a copy of a real picture of Ms. Lind; she was popular for both her singing and her beauty.
Here’s a bit of her history:
Johanna Maria (Jenny) Lind was born on October 6, 1820, in Stockholm, Sweden. She was only 17 years old when she sang in her first opera in Stockholm.
She was said to be the finest soprano of her time and became an opera star of immense worldwide popularity. In 1850 P.T. Barnum paid her $1000 per concert to come to America. She made her American debut at the Castle Garden Theatre in New York City. She charmed listeners with her exceptional voice, simple personality, and generosity.
Her husband, Otto Goldschmidt, was a famous German pianist who trained with Mendelssohn; they married in Boston while both were on tour in the US.
After her marriage, she appeared on the stage only at intervals and usually at concerts given for charitable causes. Though out her life she remained a great philanthropist. Her later years were spent in London where she died in 1887.
Real Jenny Lind
4inch & 3 inch version, different mfg.
6inch version with full legs as clapper
“rocking” Jenny – due to the shape of the dress will rock side to side.


Mary Weiss Returns to the
OK, well this review is a little outdated now, but nonetheless if you havent had a chance to catch Mary in concert, heres a chance to read a
review written by Juan Casiano. Juan sent me this not long after he saw Mary. The photos are from Juan. I apologise for the delay in
uploading and updating the site, sadly the last 12 months havent been anything Id like to relive.
THANK YOU MARY WEISS
By Juan Casiano
I have been a fan of Mary Weiss since 1964 when I first heard her captivating
voice over the radio and learning that she lived around the corner from me
in Cambria Heights with her sister Liz. She lead the legendary Shangri-Las
on a string of hits, most notably “Leader Of The Pack“. I last
saw her perform in 1989 at the Palisades Park Reunion Concert which was her
last performance on stage. My brother Ray and I were lucky to meet with Mary,
Liz and Marge on that glorious night. Many years passed without any sighting
of Mary. Except a word when 9/11 happened and Mary was close to the trade
centers and assisted some people. So it was to my surprise when it was announced
by Norton Records in 2006 that she was returning to the recording studio with
an upcoming album titled “Dangerous Game”. Her first solo effort
to be released in March of 2007. Her fans had reason to rejoice, Mary’s
Her debut performance of the new album was scheduled on March 3rd at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio. I felt deep in my heart that I had to be there to show my support if I could put all the pieces of the puzzle together to get there from Florida. When it all came together I was on my journey to see Mary for the first time in 18 years. As nervous as I was about the trip I was just as excited at the prospect of seeing Mary on stage performing again in the spotlight where she belongs. Rock & Roll history was in the making.
That evening on March 3rd Mary took to the stage around 11:00pm after her two opening acts, the Tough & Lovely and The Reigning Sound who are also her backup band. She came to rock and that she did. She looked stunning and had a strong confident presence on stage and was in fine voice. She was having fun and the audience embraced her. She performed several songs from her new album including ,”My Heart Is Beating”, “You’re Never Gonna See Me Cry”, “Cry About The Radio”, “Nobody Knows (But I Do)”, “Stitch In Time”, “I Don’t Care” and added some Shangri-Las classics such as “The Train From Kansas City“, “Give Him A Great Big Kiss“ and “Heaven Only Knows“ which she remade for the new album. She stopped maybe after the second song and asked if I was in the audience. I was pleasantly surprised. She knew I was attending the show because I had been in contact with her. I was up front and when she noticed me she told the crowd that I was the Shangri-Las #1 fan. She then dedicated her next song to me “Break It For Me One More Time”. I was in a trance. What a wonderful gesture I thought. She performed about an hour. She left the stage after her set and the Reigning Sound followed. Some in the crowd were yelling “Mary, Mary, Mary”! When she came back for her encore I handed her a bouquet of a dozen yellow roses. She was moved. She then ended her set with “Remember (Walkin’ In The Sand)” and “Don’t Come Back” her single from the new album.
Mary went to the back of the ballroom where she went on to sign autographs for her fans. When I approached her she embraced me and was as thankful, gracious and appreciative as I remembered her to be. A trademark the Shangri-Las always had. When unexpectedly she “Gave Me A Great Big Kiss M-W-A-H”. I was floored. She stayed late into the night until her last fan got their autograph. She later told me that she wasn’t feeling well that evening. No one would have guessed. She was a true artist. I thought she was awesome with her fans. She was sweet, attentive and courteous. That night I met Billy Miller and Miriam Linna from Norton Records who are two very nice people. Miriam also sang backup for Mary. I also met Greg, Dave, Carol and Lance from the Reigning Sound. Thanks guys for signing Mary’s album. Also, I met Ed Ryan, Mary’s husband and manager. We can only hope that Mary enjoys the accolades to her comeback and decides to make more music for years to come. Thank you Mary for making it such a most memorable evening that will stay with me forever.


Also this hour: Today marks 31 years since the death of musician and Texas native Stevie Ray Vaughan. Of course, he is still fondly remembered as one of the greatest guitarists of his era – or any other. We revisit a conversation from 2019 reflecting on Stevie Ray Vaughan’s life, legacy, and music.
And soccer star Nadia Nadim is in town with her team, Racing Louisville FC, to play the Houston Dash on Sunday. We hear the story of her family’s escape from her native Afghanistan when the Taliban first seized power more than 20 years ago. It’s a preview her hour-long conversation on this weekend’s edition of I See U with Eddie Robinson.

The Chainsmokers released new material. Fans of the superstar musical DJ’s look forward to new releases. Certainly, The Chainsmokers themselves, Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, want to deliver solid new music to their fans. They also like talking about their career and artistic endeavors. Alex Pall clearly likes to talk as he recently spoke in detail about his career and musical endeavors.
One of Pall’s more interesting comments revealed he wasn’t ever planning on becoming a superstar DJ. He didn’t even want to work as a DJ full-time. Amazingly, Alex Pall’s career turned out to be something incredibly special. Pall rose to amazing heights in New York City, one of the toughest places for a new DJ to get noticed. He did more than become noticed. Alex Pall gained worldwide fame.

Alex Pall didn’t achieve his fame overnight. In the interview, Pall reveals he took small steps early on. Putting material up on SoundCloud included one of those small-but-important steps. Hearing an artist’s work reflects the only way people can truly appreciate a new DJ. Uploading music on SoundCloud provided a forum in which people could hear the great work of Alex Pall.
Not all DJs work well with others. Alex Pall is one-half of a DJ duo. Considering the wild success of The Chainsmokers, Alex Pall and Andrew “Drew” Taggart do work well together as evidenced by their incredible success. The two worked together on a daily basis without fail. Finding a DJ and business partner willing and interested to put in the same amount of work and the proper amount of dedication isn’t easy. Picking the wrong partner often undermines what would otherwise be a successful career. Luckily, Alex Pall found the right partner, a partner who shared his vision. The two now reap the rewards of hard work.

But once an actor figures out how to become more than that one role, well miracles happen on screen and that's precisely what happened to the ultra-talented Lena Headey. She was showered with incredible praise and love from the fans for her fantastic performance as Sarah Connor in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and every ounce of that praise was well deserved, thanks to her powerhouse portrayal of the character.
Unfortunately, the show did not last long on the air, but none of that mattered, because Lena's talent was now out in the open and her opportunity to emerge from Sarah's shadow arrived a couple of years later when HBO brought her on board to play Cersei Lannister in the now smash hit show, Game of Thrones where fans tune in weekly to see what schemes she will come up with next. But what matters more, is that Denver Comic Con has landed another pop culture icon for their already impressive lineup since Lena is coming to this year's convention and quite frankly, I'm a little in awe of this particular announcement.
Game of Thrones is one of the biggest shows on television and to have such an important actor from the show and one of Lena's talent and caliber is a huge deal. DCC continues to load up their guest list with only the best in the business and this is no exception to that rule. Which means I have to reinforce once again...get your tickets from Denver Comic Con's website today and I can't wait to see Lena and all of you come Father's Day Weekend!


At the time of Marilyn Monroe’s death, she did not receive much appreciation from women. She was deeply criticized and judged harshly for her failures and success as well. This could be because she was perceived as a character of sexuality. It could also be due to the difficulties she faced and the struggles to maintain her career. The perception changed after her death, as they were open to reviewing her work. It was a revelation as she had suffered the same issues that most of the women have gone through at some point in their lives. Clearly, she was not only an actress, but also represented the normal life of a woman.
Marilyn in almost all her roles, catered to the fancies of the male characters. This was for fear that her significance in the plays would not be recognized if she did not. Even when she struggled with her addiction, she made a point of giving an outstanding performance. To some extent, this is similar to the female character in the Screwballs Comedy. She is depicted as a cause of keenness and one who renovates the male characters, especially the ones who are dull and lifeless. The female character was however viewed as the one with positive influence.
The perception of Monroe changes with time regarding the different roles she has played. This is in both her fictional life, as an actress, and her personal real life. Currently, Marilyn Monroe is depicted as a famous actress of the mid 20th century who was greatly talented. She is also a symbol and significance of what many women go through. This is shown when she suffers in silence following the diverse from her husband. This leads to her depression and seeking solace from the use of drugs. She is remembered positively contrary to the harsh judgment she received when she was alive.


It’s Monday night at The Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton, FL and the crowd is in awe as Lauren Ashlee’s voice relinquishes them in a heap of admiration.
“Music is my passion,” said 25-year-old Lauren Ashlee.
Some of Lauren Ashlee’s musical influences include Jim Morrison, Lana Del Rey, Amy Whinehouse, and Adele.
Lauren Ashlee’s chief genre of musical performances include indie rock and electric pop.
As a child, this artist would sing in school and at local venues, but at age 16 her life took a different path. It wasn’t until this past year that she decided to pick up the mic again.
“It feels wonderful picking up singing after all this time,” said Lauren Ashlee. It has been about ten years since the artist has performed, and you could feel her excitement leaking through all of her pores.
Some of Lauren Ashlee’s favorite songs to cover are Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep“, Lady Gaga’s “You and I“, and Oh Darling” by The Beatles. Furthermore, this artist also writes her own lyrics as well. Some of her latest pieces include “You’re so Gone“, “The Stars Are Our Spies“, and “Beautiful Dream“. What is more, Lauren Ashlee is also collaborating with other artists to further advance in her fervid dedication for art. Music is not by any means nonsensical for this aesthetic singer. “It is a part of me,” said Lauren Ashlee. “Music is the foundation of my life.”


As hair stylists, one of the places we get our inspiration is from celebrities.
Whether it’s from the latest blockbuster film (not so much lately of course) or a magazine shoot, we simply have to know all the latest celebrity hair and makeup secrets!
Hairstyles come and go depending on fashion at the time. One haircut that will probably be around forever is the classic bob or variations of…
Hairdressers personalise the bob to suit the client. Creating texture, layers, graduation or adding a fringe – all of which can transform a neat hairstyle into something much more personalised and suitable for lifestyle, environmental factors or simply the current trend.
If we see a celebrity that has had a hair transformation, depending on who it is and their current popularity, it can become the latest trend quite quickly.
A few examples of this are, Victoria Beckham with her blonde bob cut back in the noughties. At that time, her popularity meant that anything she did to her hair, made people want to do the same.
Another example was way back when Jennifer Aniston was in Friends, she had a style that was nicknamed ‘The Jennifer’. This particular style stayed around for years and even now, there are variations on this style that people ask for.
Princess Diana was another person that people wanted to emulate, she was so utterly stylish and demure and her hairstyle was copied all over the world.
Recently, Giovanna Fletcher – winner of 2020 I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, cut off her long hair into a lovely mid-length bob. Giving her hair body and style.
During the lockdowns, when salons weren’t open, there were a few celebrities that were happy to show their grey roots to the world. Eva Longoria starred in an advert showing how she applied her hair colour! At the time, it was what many people needed to see – a real-life celebrity, coming clean about having grey hair but also being happy to show how it gets covered up!
It was a small way of showing that just because someone is famous and wealthy, it doesn’t mean to say that they are more important than ordinary people. Covid 19, still dictated their lives, as much as it did ours.

[ARTICLE] Billboard #1 for 9 Weeks, New Zealand Singer-Songwriter Lorde Likes 2NE1 & Lee Hi
“KPOP is much more charming than Western pop music.” America has fallen for the New Zealand teen, Lorde. The 17 year old singer song writer’s track “Royals” from her debut album “Pure Heroine”, is currently in its 9th week as the number one song on the USA Billboard charts. Even Eminem and Lady Gaga were unable to stop her streak.
Though her simple heavy base and drum as well as her slow, low melody have a strange addicting charm, her song’s true asset is its lyrics. “We’ll never be royals. It don’t run in our blood, that kind of luxe just ain’t for us, we crave a different kind of buzz.” She shows cynicism for the luxurious lives of the high ups, showing a premature side unassociated with her age.
[Omitted portions of the article on how Lordes came up with her song ‘Royals’= Her mother’s a poet, started singing at age 12, habitually began to study music, puts her story into her songs, made ‘Royals’ in 30 minutes, etc.]
When told she had a style different than other teen artists she said, “[describes how she’s different]… If there is one other thing, my dancing skills are the worst! (Laughs) I should get dance lessons from ‘Girls Generation’.”
With the mention of GG, Lordes revealed to have a lot of interest in KPOP. In the UK Music magazine "NME", she spoke in an interview that she’d like to collaborate with a Korean girl group. When asked who, she told them, “I like Lee Hi and 2NE1.”, and sang a snippet of Lee Hi’s “1,2,3,4”.
She continued, “I like KPOP because the tunes and songs are interesting to listen to. It’s [KPOP] much more charming than the western pop I grew up with." When told she had a lot of Korean fans, she left a greeting, "Next year, I plan to make an appearance in Japan, and if I have the chance I’d really like to go and meet you all. I hope you enjoy this album and that the music will be special to you.”

Opera Legend, Angela Brown, to be Artist-in-Residence at Brebeuf
An Indianapolis legend and opera star,Angela Brown, will be in artist-in-residence over the next few weeks vocal coaching 9 of our choir students in preparation for their upcoming Broadway and Christmas concerts. Angela is a larger than life person, who unites opera, pops, and gospel in one sensational voice. Her highly successful Metropolitan Opera debut in the title role of Aida captured instant attention from international print and broadcast media and catapulted Angela onto the world’s prestigious opera and symphonic stages. Headlines from The New York Times read: “At last an Aida,” and CBS Weekend News proclaimed: “the future of opera has arrived!” followed by features on the front page of The New York Times, Oprah Magazine, Essence Magazine, Ebony Magazine, Classical Singer and Reader’s Digest.
While opera is the main catalyst for her career, Angela’s career goes beyond performance to education. She opened her own vocal studio in Indianapolis located at the Basile Opera Center where she is still accepting students. Her most recent endeavor is launching Morning Brown, Inc., a nonprofit with the mission of bridging the gap between accessible, live-music programs and underserved individuals, schools, and communities.

Angela’s career taken her all over the world and we are delighted to have her join our community to shape the artist of tomorrow.


Cora and Abby have been fans of Taylor Swift for a while now, but ever since the RED album came out, it has catapulted to a whole new level!
The girls have been begging to go to one of her concerts and when we found out that she was opening her RED tour in Omaha, we knew we couldn’t miss it.
Abby and her best friend (above) have been completely obsessed with the concert for months! They have been planning their outfits, hair etc. They decorated their pants with glow in the dark paint and even had matching hair accessories. It was pretty adorable.
Cora was also super excited, but she wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Abby.
We had heard that the concert staff picks people from the audience to go and stand in the pit. We sang our hearts out and were super obnoxious hoping to get picked! Unfortunately, we weren’t the chosen ones, but we sure had fun screaming and dancing before the show!
This picture (below) was taken while Ed Sheeran was performing. I hadn’t heard many of his songs before, but he was fantastic! I was in complete awe of the lights!
Abby and her best friend could hardly contain themselves while they were waiting for Taylor to arrive.
Then finally the moment came! The stage turned RED…
And Taylor Swift appeared behind the red curtain.
One of the sweetest things about the concert was the incredibly amazing connection that Taylor had with the audience. Imagine this picture below with 13,000 fans screaming.
Her face was so sweet…
The concert was absolutely amazing filled with special effects and phenomenal dancers!
At one point in the show (during the song 22) Taylor came across the arena to a second stage that was right below us!
She sang quite a few songs on this second stage and Abby and her friend went right down to the railing. Abby said that Taylor looked at her for a whole 5 seconds!
This smaller stage rose into the air and slowly rotated. It was pretty amazing how much closer she was to those of us in the upper seats.
After finishing on the second stage, she climbed onto this little platform and floated across the entire arena until she was back at the main stage.
And of course it ended with a big bang and the entire arena filling with confetti!
We Love You Taylor!
your pictures really show what a great show it must have been! your girls are so darling!


The bad boy of Kenyan gospel music and Kora Award winner, DNG, or as itis on his birth certificate Davidson Ngubiuni, has hit the airwaves with a new track: Watasema Watachoka (click to sample). The track basically seems to be a “punch back” on the Kenyan newspapers and his critics.
DNG who claims the media has not been fair to him in terms of exposing his other life which he admitted to in an interview, has of late been trying to clean up his image and this track with Collo (1/3 of Kleptomaniax)must have been meant to do exactly that.
Personally, I would advice DNG not to go out this way…it is not very “christian-like” (like a friend of mine puts it). This latest track by DNG is in poor taste as it seems like a cowardly hit back to the media nad his crtics which is not a very health thing for a young music career especially in Kenya.
Anyway, all the best to DNG as he trys to get back to the heart…


10 Pictures of Celebrities Who’ve Copied Warnie’s Look
Shane Warne is a man of many talents. As well as his eventful history in cricket, Warnie has excelled in other fields such as golf, commentary, sex, hair regrowth, cigarette magic tricks, and of course fashion. Warnie has rocked almost as many looks as he’s taken wickets, so it’s no wonder that he’s encountered a few copycats along the way. It should surprise no one that people are trying to emulate the spin king, as his iconic appearance has no doubt helped him both on and off the pitch.

25-year-old actress and model Cara Delevingne was named the face of Dior’s new anti-aging line, which caused a controversy (Reuters)
There’s already a stigma around aging in society, especially for women, so when Dior named 25-year-old model and actress Cara Delevingne as the face of their new anti-aging skincare line, people were not happy about it.
The brand made the announcement on social media last week, featuring a photo of wrinkle-free Delevingne, who will represent their Capture Youth line of products. According to the description online, Capture Youth is “a skincare range that corrects all visible signs of aging to reveal a radiant youthful beauty.”
The house of Dior is delighted to announce that @caradelevingne, revolutionary top model, committed woman and rising actress, is now the face of the skincare line “Capture”. #diorforyouth
A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) on
As W notes, Delevingne is significantly younger than the target audience of Dior’s past anti-aging lines, which were geared toward 40 to 50-year-olds. And even though the line is reportedly aimed at those who don’t currently have any anti-aging beauty routines, the announcement of a 25-year-old brand ambassador didn’t sit well with many.
Beautiful Cara is 25. I’m 51 and I’m your target audience for Capture. It’s a wrinkle cream. This is unfair to her, and to me! #thatsnotme

Good choice! She is so old and wrinkled!!

She is beautiful BUT I am 65 and would not look twice at a product with that face on it. I feel disrespected.

As a 51 year old, I find the use of a 25 year old model to be slightly insensitive. Are we hopeless after 26? I’ll have to re-evaluate Dior
— Wendy Stout (@lrelibrarian) October 31, 2017
Having a 25 year old as the face of an anti-aging line is ridiculous. Is it so much to ask that someone over 40, or even 30, be the face?
— Christina SB (@ChristinaRoseSB) October 31, 2017
Other cosmetics brands, however, have historically chosen more age-appropriate spokeswomen for their campaigns, as HuffPost points out. L’Oreal has featured such celebs as Diane Keaton and Helen Mirren, and Ellen Degeneres has starred in both CoverGirl and Olay ads.
Even Mirren has noted the absurdity of featuring young models in ads targeted at an older demographic. “It used to drive me crazy that the ads promoting skin products were using pictures of 15- and 16-year-old girls,” she said. “As a 30-year-old, I used to look at that and think, what the f— are you talking about? It was ridiculous. P—ed me off majorly. Advertisers are only just coming out of that, and it’s taken them a long time,” she said at a panel for L’Oreal, Telegraph reported in August.
Dior did not immediately repsond to request for comment.


DJ Commander has died
Tendai Samu, a well known Disc jockey and Entreprenuer, originally from Zimbabwe has died. A cause to his death is still shallow. Dj Commander once lived in South Africa, and had recently moved back to Zimbabwe.
In Zimbabwe it’s understood that Mr Samu was part an entertainment organisation called “Cranborne Dj’s” where he continued practicing a hobby he’d passion for, with fellow Zimbabwean Dj’s including Dj Tam-z, Dj Knoxinatorr, and Dj Bad’Ass.
News about his death went viral on various social networks, including Facebook, twitter, soon after 1400hours GMT (Saturday 28th December 2013). Many people (his friends and fans), couldn’t believe and thought it was a rumour. Hours later (Saturday 28th December 2013), after reliable sources had confirmed about Tendai’s death, the Zmbabwean entertainment industry plunged into mourning. Fans and close friends paid deep respect to Dj Commander. To date, messages of condolences of his death are pouring from…

Here’s a story from the New York Times about Natalie Portman, the actress you may remember as Princess Amidala from Star Wars Episodes I, II and III. Apparently she was quite the kid scientist in high school; she was a semifinalist in the national Intel Science Talent search!
Portman is 29 years old now and is about to have a baby of her own. Last night she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, playing a ballerina in a film called “Black Swan”. This just goes to show that you don’t have to choose between being a princess, a ballerina, or a scientist — you can be all three if you want!


In honor of Father's Day, the AP's Doug Feinberg talks to two proud fathers of WNBA stars - Seymore Augustus and Harvey Catchings.
The biggest joy that Seimone brought her dad came this week. She got back on the court June 11 in Phoenix, where she tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee nearly a year earlier. “That was the best gift she could have given me,” Seymore said. “Seeing her playing again.”


Wikipedia: “a DIVA is a celebrated singer, a woman of outstanding talent.” She was born with it, she has lived and breathed it, she has studied it and honed her craft until she has emerged a most sultry and sensuous Diva. Her name is Lily Wilde.
There was a time before strict boundaries were drawn between jazz, blues and R&B. Lily Wilde has emerged with a vocal styling in a category all her own, combining the drive of that era’s swing and jump blues and the hot soloing of jazz. She captures the swinging feeling of the big bands of the 1950s. Wilde’s voice is extremely powerful and soulful and has been compared to Ella Fitzgerald and Helen Humes (one of Count Basie’s best female singers).
Known as one of the West Coast’s most respected rhythm & blues singers, Wilde began life surrounded by music and art. Her mother Joyce’s favorite story is that of little Lily adding a fifth harmony while singing along to her parent’s Hi-Lo’s records back in Toronto, where she was born and spent the first five years of her life.
Wilde’s father Calvin Jackson was a world-renowned pianist, composer and arranger with a career that began in the ‘30s and continued until his death in 1985, while working on arrangements for a 31-piece concert jazz orchestra. The Julliard graduate started at MGM studios as an assistant musical director and went on to score innumerable movies and musicals such as Ziegfield Follies, Anchors Away, The Asphalt Jungle, Meet Me In St. Louis, and much later, Viva, Las Vegas. Jackson received an Academy Award nomination in ’64 for the musical scoring of The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Wilde’s favorite pastime was to lay under her father’s concert grand piano while he was composing. He performed and Read more »


Who Killed John Lennon
Late on 8 December 1980, the planet stopped spinning for millions when news broke that the world’s best-loved rock star had been gunned down in cold blood in New York City. In this enthralling exploration, acclaimed music biographer and journalist Lesley-Ann Jones unravels the enigma to present a complete portrait of the man, his life, his relationships, his untimely death and his eternal musical legacy as never before. Peeling back the layers, Jones tracks the highs and lows of both his professional and personal life that led Lennon to relocate to New York, where he was shot dead on the street outside his apartment building that fateful winter night.
But who, or what, really killed him? And when did the ‘real’ John Lennon die? Using fresh first-hand research, unseen images and exclusive interviews with those who knew Lennon best, the author’s search for answers offers a gripping, 360-degree view of one of our most iconic music legends, four decades on from his tragic death.Having interviewed many people over the years who had been connected to Lennon, including his first wife Cynthia, his firstborn son Julian, fellow Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, John’s former girlfriend May Pang and Andy Peebles – the last British broadcaster to interview him, a couple of days before he was murdered – Jones draws on an astonishing personal archive. There have been countless books about the Beatles and John Lennon. There has never been one quite like this.

Speaking of the world’s biggest fashion icons, it seems a bit unfair we’ve never mentioned Cher before! More than 50 years of her highly active career were spent quite insanely: 25 albums, dozens of Top 10 hit singles, a lot of great movie parts and plenty of ups and downs have given her the name of Goddess of Pop. Well deserved! What also let her stay in the spotlight for so long was her talent to find herself visually. The decades were coming and going and Cher was always ready to meet the new times with some relevant changes, while at the same time remaining herself. If you saw her in the 60’s you probably remember her various over-the-top tribal and especially Indian outfits, 70’s were full of long sparkling dresses, 80’s nearly had a heart attack seeing Cher’s outfit for “If I Could Turn Back Time” video, 90’s were commemorated with the diamond Vegas-style dresses and some way more relaxed big city hippie clothes… In other words, this eye candy happened to be too epic for us to ignore and this gallery is our pathetic attempt to collect some of the most awesome Cher’s outfits (as if it’s possible)!

Now I know who I am without a doubt. You know who that is? Your son. The man you raised.


Rachel K Collier is a singer, songwriter and producer from Swansea, Wales. Growing up singing and writing songs on the piano from a young age, she moved on to develop a serious interest in song arrangement and production, inventive vocal recording techniques and beat programming.
A grade 8 pianist with a distinctive voice and innovative output, she studied Creative Music Technology (BMus) at the Royal Welsh college of Music & Drama for four years, where she spent her time studying composition, sound design and writing and recording music and songs in many different genres.
Following her move to London in 2010 to pursue her songwriting and recording career, Rachel recorded a performance of the Jimmy Cliff classic, “Hard Road To Travel”, for a Saatchi televised advertising campaign. The popularity of the recording led to its commercial release in May 2012, where the song charted at number 79 in the UK Singles chart.
She went on to co-write and featured on the track “2 Us”, the comeback single from legendary garage producer Wookie in July 2012. This lead to a further co-write and feature on the 2013 smash summer hit “Boom Boom (Heartbeat)”, which peaked at number 12 in the UK Singles chart, followed by another feature and co-write with producer Mat Zo on the Grammy-nominated Album “Damage Control”, which peaked at number 1 on the iTunes Dance Album Charts.
Now focusing solely on writing and producing records under her own name, Rachel released her debut self-produced EP “Words You Never Heard” in October 2015 on UK underground electronic label Love & Other.


So, I’m not one to put my nose in the middle of other people’s business and definitely not one to believe everything you see in smut magazines or that you read online. Actually, I usually laugh when I see something about a celebrity because most likely it is waaayyyy off base. When I heard the news of Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert’s split like all country music fans I held out hope that they would get back together even amidst the rumored relationship Blake was having with Gwen Stephani. Now, Blake himself rebutted those claims, right? I know that just as my business is mine and your’s is your’s, Blake, Miranda and Gwen also want and deserve their privacy. They also know that when you are in the public eye privacy is a word that doesn’t mean much.
I don’t have anything against Gwen or Blake but I was very surprised at the lack of class shown when they decided to go public with their relationship on the same day that the CMAs were going to be held. I mean, come on! Did they really think that was the right time or was there some other motive? I don’t think I’m the only one asking that question and I know I’m not the only one who noticed that Miranda seemed a little off last night. I felt for her as I’m sure many other country music fans did but I was glad to see her step up to the plate and go on with the show.
Yesterday should have been a happy day for all of those who were nominated for an award and those who won an award. It is unfortunate that some couldn’t hold off on their ‘good’ news, if that’s what you want to call it, for just long enough for a night that is supposed to happy for all those attending to be just that. I find it sad that people who know the hurt of a divorce would want to rub something like that in someone’s face who may not be taking it all in stride. After all they have been lying about their relationship for a while now. Would one more day have killed them? Kudos to Miranda for her awards, performing like a boss and keeping her class through everything!

Joey Alexander’s jaw-dropping ability and beyond-his-years artistry brought him to some of the grandest stages, from performing at the GRAMMYs and the White House, to appearing on the TODAY Show and 60 Minutes. Just over a year removed from his debut, the same maturity and dedication to his craft that made him a phenomenon is evident in his remarkable evolution on his sophomore release, COUNTDOWN. Now stepping forward as a composer, while still paying tribute to the jazz greats (Coltrane, Monk, Strayhorn), Joey is poised to continue his ascent to being one of the biggest names in jazz, recognized not as a prodigy, but as simply a great musician.


STRAVINSKY “Le Rossignol”
MOZART “Der Hölle Rache” from Die Zauberflöte
ADÉS Excerpt from The Tempest
ADES The Tempest
Coloratura soprano Cyndia Sieden earns raves for singing that garners such superlatives as “pyrotechnic,” and “dizzying.” Her purity of tone and pitch-perfect musicianship allow her to move with ease from 18th-century composers such as Handel and Mozart, to complex 21st-century works by such masters as Thomas Adès and Esa-Pekka Salonen. She made her Metropolitan Opera debut as the protagonist in Berg’s Lulu, and returned to sing Queen of the Night in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. She made her Salzburg Festival debut in Ombra Felice, a fully staged production of Mozart concert arias, and returned to sing Aspasia in Jonathan Miller’s production of Mitridate re di Ponto, released on CD under the Salzburg Festival label. She appeared at New York City Opera in the title role of Handel’s Partenope, and Morton Feldman’s Neither.
Contemporary opera remains a pillar of her activities. Her performances as Ariel in Adès’ The Tempest, which premiered at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden with the composer at the podium, astounded critics. London’s Daily Telegraph said, “her ability to keep control over the stratospherically high writing for Ariel [is] astonishing” and the Independent on Sunday “a miraculous combination of elegance, poignancy and chutzpah.” She appeared in subsequent performances in France, Denmark, and Santa Fe, reprising the role most recently for Oper Frankfurt. Other career highlights include the role of the Cat in Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland at Geneva Opera, and Wolfgang Rihm’s opera Dionysus at Netherlands Opera.
She has garnered equally enthusiastic acclaim for more traditional roles. Her Archiv recordings of Die Zauberflöte (Queen of the Night) and Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (Blondchen), conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, affirmed her status as a preeminent interpreter of Mozart.
In addition to the Metropolitan Opera, Sieden has performed leading roles at the world’s most important opera houses including Munich’s Bayerische Staatsoper, Paris’s Opera Bastille and Théâtre du Châtelet, London’s English National Opera, Italy’s Teatro Massimo, as well as in Beijing and Australia. She is also closely associated with the operas of Richard Strauss: Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos, Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier, and Aminta in Die Schweigsame Frau. She is one of the few contemporary sopranos to have sung the original 1912 version of Ariadne, in which Zerbinetta’s aria sits a whole step higher than in the commonly heard 1916 revision.
Ms. Sieden has sung in concert with the world’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Cleveland Orchestra, the Chicago, London, and San Francisco Symphonies, and New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival. She is much in demand for the oratorios of Handel, Mozart and Haydn; works of Bach; Mahler’s Symphony No. 8; and Orff’s Carmina Burana. She has also brought opera such as Bernstein’s Candide, and Ariadne auf Naxos to the concert stage. With the Los Angeles Philharmonic, she has sung Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Wing on Wing on a European tour, and introduced Thomas Adès’s Scenes from The Tempest to the orchestral world. Recent and upcoming concert highlights include the premiere of Sunleif Rasmussen’s Symphony No. 2, “The Earth Anew” with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and performances with Seattle, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Monterey Symphonies and the Bravo! Vail Music Festival.
An active recitalist and frequent guest artist with the New York Festival of Song, Miss Sieden gave the New York premiere of John Musto’s song cycle Dove sta amore in her debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. She has appeared in recital at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, in Rotterdam, at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, the Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and the Moab Festival, among others, in a wide range of repertoire.
A native of California, Ms. Sieden lives in Washington State.


Nick Kyrgios’ ex-agent John Morris says the Aussie’s bad boy image was just a ‘protective tool’ as he described the 27-year-old as a very sweet and genuine. Morris, who discovered Kyrgios, no longer works with the Australian but he only has good words to say about his former client.
Morris loved watching Andre Agassi and he thought Kyrgios definitely had similarities to the American tennis legend. “My favorite athlete of all time, without a doubt, is Andre Agassi. We’ve always said Nick is Agassi 2.0,” Morris said in an interview with The Age, per Sportskeeda.
“And yes, there were some unsavory things that I didn’t like, but there’s a magnetism about him and a certain charisma about him. There’s this magic dust that you just don’t want to touch. the quiet one.
Let it be because it’s so damn special.”
Morris: Kyrgios isn’t exactly a bad boy, he’s kinda nice and genuine
Since the start of his career, Kyrgios has been called ‘the bad boy of tennis’.
Almost a decade later, nothing has really changed as there is no in-between when it comes to Kyrgios – as the feeling is that the average tennis fan either absolutely loves him or hates him. . “He became a caricature of that bad boy image and he kinda played it up, but it wasn’t really him,” Morris said.
“And then you go down a path and eventually he just takes on the role. Even this week, he plays the villain role well. It’s literally that – it’s a role. In many ways, it’s a stage persona, but it’s a protective tool.”
Morris, who has been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Kyrgios, insists the 27-year-old is very nice off the pitch. “If he’s small, with his walls up, in his mind, he can’t hurt himself,” Morris said. “He thinks, ‘If I don’t let the conversations go on or if I don’t let you in, then I can’t be hurt’
I understand. But it is a protective tool. The Nick Kyrgios I knew was a really sweet, genuine, sensitive person.”


This Burn City MC is, as her name suggests, fresh.
Fresh Violet is a rapper/producer that stands out from the crowd that is Aussie hip-hop’s new-wave, with her exceptional technical abilities and quirky, fun-loving personality marrying together perfectly in the recording booth.
These traits are evident in the new visuals for “Northside”—the latest single from her debut album, 50 Shades of Violet. Directed by Hoodwolf, the music video sees Yung Fresh traversing a Northside park, with lyrics take centre-stage as words enter and exit the frame playfully throughout. Her technical prowess is evident from the jump, as the first quatrain a combination of multis, metaphors, similes, and a fine-tuned rhyme scheme:
To coincide with this premiere, Vizzy jumped on Genius to breakdown some of her wordplay and metaphors, so be sure to check them out after watching the video below. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for her debut album, 50 Shades of Violet, which is set to drop later this year.

So Ellen thinks that Kevin Hart should still host the Oscars? She might want to reconsider. I don’t think that I could say why she is choice any better than CNN’s Don Lemon. Watch his video to understand.
For the record, Ellen doesn’t speak for all gay people.


As an artist, MC Chucky represents the Hard Electronic Dance Music in more than one way. Not only he gracefully succeeds in amplifying the enthusiasm of the crowd in front of him, he also knows how to lift an artist's performance to a higher level, topping everyone's expectations.
His distinct signature style during his performances opened many doors for him, made him Belgium's n°1 MC and highly experienced in the worldwide Harddance scene. MC Chucky's passion for Harddance is shared by ten thousands of fans all over the world. It speaks for itself that his impressive list of performances is an enumeration of major events. To name a few: Tomorrowland, Defqon.1 Australia festival, Decibel Outdoor Festival, Laundry Day, Reverze, Summerfestival, The Qontinent.
His fresh and meaningful lyrics make him not only a wanted artist on stage, but also in the studio. His unrestrained efforts and perseverance, constantly improving his skills in the studio resulted in collaborations with DJ Stephanie, Da Tweekaz, Mark With A K and many others.


Harry Houdini (1874-1926) magician, stunt performer, escapologist, film producer, actor, aviator and debunker of spiritualists, was a consummate performance artist and a phenomenon in his day. Here he is conjuring up ideas for a few of his well-known stunts. I daresay that there will never be another quite like Houdini to enthrall the people of the world the way he did.
This was created with pen and ink, charcoal and paper collage. I was in the mood to get out the scissors and glue this time. It’s fun to make stuff!


CD Review – Dani Wilde – Shine – Ruf Records
8 out of 10
The young prodigy Dani Wilde has returned to the studio to record her newest album Shine.
A vastly matured vocal performance is at the centre of the album, along with some impressive guitar work, with 11 strong vocal performances and nine self-written songs, the album has clearly been a labour of love. The two covers are a wholly convincing version of The Rolling Stones’s ‘Miss you’ and ‘Where Blue Begins’ written by Dana Gillespie, and the fact that Wilde’s songs sit well alongside such august company is a testament to her abilities in the recording studio.
The instrumental performances are all of a high standard, with Will Wilde showing his worth and potential on Harmonica alongside his sister. At the same time, Laura Chavez, known for her work with Candye Kane, adds her real lead guitar talents to some of the songs.
There are obvious influences on the album, ranging from Janis Joplin and Susan Tedeschi on the playfully funky ‘Red Blooded Woman’ and ‘Some Kinda crazy’. The opening title track is a prime example of blues pop, while the closing solo performance ‘Big Brown Eyes’ finishes the album with a well-placed sigh, rather than the roar that less assured musicians would have used.
Veteran record producer Mike Vernon has helmed the project, adding his experience to an album that will be a marker in Dani Wilde’s career for a long time to come.

Johnny Gioeli is an American singer who, besides singing for Crush 40, also sings in his own band Hardline, and for the German guitarist Axel Rudi Pell. He has also sung for several other artists, such as Accomplice and Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), the latter being the one who got Jun in contact with Johnny when he needed a vocalist for the Sonic Adventure soundtrack.
Jun Senoue is a Japanese guitarist who started playing guitar at the age of 15. He joined SEGA in 1993, after he graduated from college with a degree in economics, as a video game composer. The first SEGA game of which Jun composed the soundtrack was Dark Wizard, followed by Sonic The Hedgehog 3. Ever since he has composed several SEGA videogame soundtracks, but he is most known for his work for the Sonic franchise. Besides working with Johnny in Crush 40, Jun also worked with several other artists such as Eric Martin (Mr. Big), Tony Harnell (TNT), and Ted Poley (Danger Danger).


1) Will Smith
Who else is there to top this list. Smith's last ten films have all broken 100 million despite the majority being less then stellar, he has 2 Oscar nominations for otherwise mediocre films and he has taken one of the blandest names in the universe and made it one of the most recognisable. He is the quintessential movie star by even the strictest definitions, with the kind of charisma that is almost presidential in its ability to make you hang on every word. Is actually a good actor too. All it takes is for him to be in a great movie and his legacy is secure.
2) George Clooney
Many people refer to his matinee idol looks, but unlike any other, except perhaps Will Smith, George Clooney will always be George Clooney in the films. He never really gives a performance outside his safe zone, which is decidedly in keeping with the concept of the movie star. In which the real character is himself, and thus playing yourself in every movie isn't as easy as it seems.
You can tell Angelina Jolie wants an Oscar bad. She's played grieving widow/mother now for two years in a row, yet I should imagine she'll come up empty. But she has remained hollywood A-list for a long time and for the most part without making even a semi-decent film. But she has something better than that. Movie star quality. The more cynical might translate this to mean beauty and sex appeal, but she has an engaging presence on-screen and in the last couple of years has proved herself to be more then just an object of male gaze.
3) Angelina Jolie
3) Angelina Jolie
4) Tom Cruise
He may be crazy, but he may be the most recognizable actor currently working in movies, and while he has shown flashes of genuine acting ability, he has coasted through many an average action movie solely on the surity of his own movie stardom. Which hasn't yet gone past its sell by date, but if he keeps on the way he is then it wont be long.
5) Keanu Reeves
Reeves has had 17 or so years at the top of the movie chain, and has done so pretty much on cool alone, because he ain't all up with the acting (although seemingly is getting better with age). He even managed to star in a fanboy phenomenon and not get dragged down into it. Few people can make that claim. Its because Reeves is Reeves and for all his faults no-one acts or looks quite like him.
6) Cameron Diaz I hear the groans already, but Diaz is viable for this list, man. She plays herself in almost every movie, has worked with several of the best directors going and is instantly recognizable to the movie going public. She's more talented then most people give her credit for too, goddamn men and their inability accept women being good at anything. humph.
7) Robert Downey Jr
This is a recent development, but after the monumental success of Iron Man, Downey Jr is now unquestionably a movie star. And quite right now, as he is as close as anyone else to being the modern day Humphrey Bogart. Even if he talks a little faster. Its well deserved considering the amount of movies he stole over the years.

Mary Webster, Actress in 'Master of the World,' Dies at 81
The Hollywood Reporter
By Mike Barnes
She also appeared in 'The Delicate Delinquent' opposite Jerry Lewis, in 'The Tin Star' with Henry Fonda and in two 'Twilight Zone' episodes.
Mary Webster, who starred opposite Jerry Lewis in the comedy The Delicate Delinquent and with Vincent Price in the sci-fi film Master of the World, has died. She was 81.
Webster died Monday in Dallas, her Master of the World co-star David Frankham stated on Facebook.
In her first big-screen appearance, Webster portrayed Lewis' love interest Patricia in The Delicate Delinquent (1957), notable as the comic actor's first film following his breakup with showbiz partner Dean Martin.
And in American International Pictures' Master of the World (1961), adapted by Richard Matheson from two Jules Verne novels, Webster is among those in a hot-air balloon who are captured by Price, the deranged captain of a huge airship. (Frankham played Webster's fiance in the film).
The actress also appeared in the 1957 features The Tin Star, directed by Anthony Mann and starring Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins, and Eighteen and Anxious.
Later, Webster worked with Jack Klugman in two episodes of CBS' The Twilight Zone: 1960's "A Passage for Trumpet" (she's with Klugman on the rooftop at the end) and 1963's "Death Ship," a space-travel tale penned by Matheson.
A native of Chicago who studied at the famed Pasadena Playhouse, Webster appeared opposite Tallulah Bankhead in the 1954-55 Broadway comedy Dear Charles.
Her television work also included stints on Father Knows Best, Panic!, Colt .45, The Millionaire, Perry Mason, Route 66 and Dr. Kildare.
Survivors include her son Matt.
