Ali began training at 12 years old. At the age of 22, he won the world heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston in a stunning upsetin 1964. Shortly after that, Ali joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name. He converted to Sunni Islam in 1975, and then embraced the teachings of Sufism in 2005. Ali retired from boxing permanently in 1981.
In 1967, three years after winning the heavyweight title, Ali refused to be conscripted into the U.S. military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War. He was eventually arrested and found guilty of draft evasion charges and stripped of his boxing title. He did not fight again for nearly four years—losing a time of peak performance in an athlete’s career. Ali’s appeal worked its way up to the Supreme Court of the United States where, in 1971, his conviction was overturned. Ali’s actions as a conscientious objector to the war made him an icon for the larger counterculture generation.
Ali remains the only three-time lineal world heavyweight champion; he won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978. Between February 25, 1964, and September 19, 1964, Ali reigned as the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion. Nicknamed “The Greatest”, he was involved in several historic boxing matches.Notable among these were the first Liston fight, three with rival Joe Frazier, and “The Rumble in the Jungle” withGeorge Foreman, in which he regained titles he had been stripped of seven years earlier.
At a time when most fighters let their managers do the talking, Ali, inspired by professional wrestler “Gorgeous” George Wagner, thrived in—and indeed craved—the spotlight, where he was often provocative and outlandish.He controlled most press conferences and interviews, and spoke freely on issues unrelated to boxing.Ali transformed the role and image of the African – American athlete in America by his embrace of racial pride and his willingness to antagonize the white establishment in doing so. In the words of writer Joyce Carol Oates, he was one of the few athletes in any sport to “define the terms of his public reputation”.

I told many friends that I was attending a Lissie show and one by one, they all had the same response: “Who’s that?” Lissie is not a newcomer (she’s been around for three years), she’s not “underground” (she performed on Conan a couple of weeks ago), and you might have even seen her before, opening for artists like Ellie Goulding and Lenny Kravitz.
The problem with Lissie may be her inability to stand out of the current over-saturated sea of music that we live in, digitally. On paper, the American singer-songwriter looks like her friend Goulding and sounds fairly similar to the beach girl, woe-is-me melodies of Best Coast. In fact, my introduction to Lissie came in the form of a Best Coast mix-up wherein I found out Lissie was in fact the one who covered Kid Kudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness,” not Best Coast.
That being said, something about the familiarity and warmth of Lissie’s latest album Back to Forever convinced me to attend her show at Adelaide Hall last week. And even though many of my friends had no clue who she was, the cozy venue filled with fans ready to sing happy birthday to the singer definitely knew who she was.
Lissie’s penchant for a great melody is apparent and with her spirits up and in a celebratory mood, it was hard not to be seduced by her breezy pop hooks. “The Habit” was a rockin’ number with an explosive chorus and “I Don’t Wanna Go To Work” is just the song you wanted to sing along to on a Thursday night.
Alas, she didn’t cover “Pursuit of Happiness,” but she did surprise audiences with a Drake cover of “Hold On, We’re Going Home” because, well, everyone covers it. Evidently, that doesn’t help set her apart from the others any more. Even though Lissie hasn’t been able to rise above the pack of artists she often gets looped into a conversation with – I am, of course, guilty of that in this review – she most definitely put on a great show that begs for more people to pay attention to in coming years.

Celebrities Spotted on Law & Order Before Their Big Break
Law and Order SVU is just one of the seven branches of the Law & Order Franchise. With Law & Order SVU’s episode count totaling 454 episodes of the franchise’s 1000 odd episodes, it’s no surprise that a wealth of A list actors can be spotted on the show. Here are some of the top names that graced the SVU set.
Viola Davis is widely known for her commanding portrayal of lawyer, Annalise Keating on NBC’s How to Get Away With Murder. She may however owe some of this award-winning performance (think Emmy, People’s Choice, SAG, etc.) to her previous role on Law & Order SVU. Davis portrayed defense attorney, Donna Emmett, who only shows up in seven episodes throughout different seasons of the show, it could have likely played a huge part in landing her the leading role in HTGAWM.
Banks has arguably one of the more colorful storylines in SVU, playing a porn star that has been hired to travel to Vegas for a 24-hour livestream that will broadcast her encounters with 1000 men. To top it off, her and her husband (also a pornstar) have stayed in the business to support their child’s hefty medical bills.
Before Bradley Cooper was Bradley Cooper, he landed a role as an estate lawyer in Law & Order SVU. His character also crossed over into Law & Order Trial by Jury. This isn’t the only time Bradley Cooper plays alongside Christopher Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler). The two can also be seen together in Wet Hot American Summer.
Before landing her starring role as Hailey Dunphy in Modern Family, Hyland can be seen on a couple different episodes of Law & Order SVU as well as a couple other branches of the larger Law & Order franchise. She’s not the only member of the Dunphey clan to be seen on the SVU set. Her TV parents, Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen also appear in separate issues.
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L Jackson technically plays a guest role on season 1 of Law and Order, before SVU was created but it’s definitely worth mentioning. This episode was filmed in 1991 just before Samuel L Jackson landed his iconic roles in movies like Pulp Fiction.
Best known for his portrayal of Dwight Schrute on The Office, Rainn Wilson has played a myriad of minor, and often strange, roles. In the episode titled “Waste” in season 4 of Law and Order SVU, Wilson can be seen briefly working as a janitor.
Orange Is the New Black
To top it all off, several main characters on the hit show Orange is the New Black has played a role on Law & Order SVU. Natasha Lyonne plays a mental patient in a 2011 episode, Kate Mulgrew can be spotted in Season 7, and Taryn Manning appears as Larissa Welsh in Season 12.


Size 8 and Vera Sidika are two different people but fans seem to have found a similarity between the two. Apart from being famous seems that two ladies share a passion in too much make up.
This was revealed shortly after Size 8 shared new photos looking different thanks to the layers of make up on her face.
Judging from the photos it’s clear to see that the make up had changed the singer’s looks making her look unreal.
Fans react to Size 8’s photos
After sharing the photos, a few of her fans went on to express their disappointment in the new look urging her to maintain her natural beauty.
Others went on to say that she was no different to Sidika who had to change her looks to feel accepted by the society.
Read the comments left by fans on the post below and be the judge.


Look who we just spotted sneaking into Cheryl Coles house! *Gasps*
No it’s not Ashley Cole (thankfully) or E.T. (although he is a damn good lookalike) – it’s Derek Hough! We spotted the dancer arriving at Cheryl’s pad a short time ago in the back of a cab.
So we guess all those rumours about Cheryl being back with Ashley were false then? Or maybe Derek has just arrived to try win back Cheryl and stop her from getting back with Ashley?
Dear God her love life’s complicated.
You wait ages for a good celeb baby bump & then three come along at once – Typical!
There was a battle of the baby bumps when Emma Bunton, Holly Willoughby and Myleene Klass arrived at the Riverside studio in London yesterday to film Celebrity Juice.
Expectant mummy Myleene – who is due to give birth next month – looked almost ready to pop in her figure hugging dress, while Emma and Holly, who both have a few more months to go, looked teeny tiny in comparison.
Britney Spears teases us with a new longer sneak peek at her video…
That Britney Spears is a tease – there’s no doubt about it. For the last couple of weeks the scoundrel has been tantalising us with the prospect of seeing her new video by showing us various small clips from the vid via Twitter.
The Hold It Against me video – purportedly her “best work” for years – was supposed to premiere today, however its now been delayed by few hours so we here in the UK will have to wait until the early hours of Friday morning to see the full version.
In the meantime though Britney’s provided us all with yet another short clip from the video, although this one’s slightly longer than the last lot; 30 seconds to be precise.
See, we told you – she’s such a tease.
This looks cosy: Ashlee Simpson & Pete Wentz have gone on a lunch date together…
Unlike most couple’s who are about to get divorced it seems as though Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are not at each other’s throats. Far from it; actually the pair are still managing to go on cosy lunch dates together such as they did a few days ago – on Valentine’s day (we know, we couldn’t believe it either).
The two were spotted heading into a Beverly Hills hotel together (see the above photographic evidence) on the mushy day along with their son Bronx Mowgli.
According to reports the pair decided to go out on Valentine’s day for the sake of their son, a source said:
“They’re both focused on making this transition as easy as possible for him.”
Well we’re happy about that, but Valentine’s day – really?

Joe Giudice has revealed he is involved with a woman in Italy – just over a month after his divorce from Teresa Guidice was finalized.
The 48-year-old moved to Italy late last year ahead of a legal decision on whether he would be deported there after getting out of prison for fraud.
In a new interview with E! News he chatted about the new woman in his life, saying: ‘We’re not really dating but we’re, like, seeing each other or whatever.’
Back out there: Joe Giudice has revealed he is involved with a woman in Italy – just over a month after his divorce from Teresa Guidice was finalized
Teresa and Joe officially separated last December and their divorce was finalized at the beginning of this September, ending a marriage of 20 years.
Joe is now hunkering down in Salerno near Naples and the woman he is ‘seeing’ there happens to be ‘a fan’ of his reality star ex.
A couple of weeks ago he had appeared on The Wendy Williams Show and shared: ‘I’m actually seeing a lawyer, yeah.’
He dished that she was ‘helping me out a lot out here’ as ‘I got a lotta things going on out here and she’s putting a lot of deals together for me.’
The way they were: Teresa and Joe officially separated last December and their divorce was finalized at the beginning of this September, ending a marriage of 20 years
Joe and the lawyer have ‘been seeing each other, you know what I mean? I wouldn’t say that we’re boyfriend and boyfriend, but we’re kinda like hanging out a lot.’
A source told Us Weekly in June that Teresa was ‘allowing Bravo to film her dating’ on the upcoming season of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey.
Joe is open to the prospect of her finding another man, telling E! News recently: ‘What’s she going to do, stay alone forever? That’s not fair, as well.’
He added: ‘Look, if I would have got out and I would have been able to go home, who knows what would happen? Maybe we’d still be in the same situation, maybe not. I don’t know. Things change after so many years.’
Family matters: They share daughters Gia, 19, Gabriella, 16, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 11, two of whom will be visiting him in just a couple of weeks
As for his equation with Teresa: ‘I mean, listen, we talk every day but, we kind of moved on already. What are you going to do? It’s been a while.’
He noted: ‘If I was living there, it would be a different story, but I’m not. I’m over here, eight hours away in Italy, full of a bunch of Italian women.’
Joe was born in Saronno, Lombardy and lived in America since childhood but neglected to ever obtain U.S. citizenship, leaving him vulnerable to deportation after he and Teresa were convicted of various counts of fraud in 2014.
Making it work: He and Teresa have maintained an amicable relationship since their split and she took their four daughters to Italy before lockdown to visit their father
Both Teresa and Joe spent time in jail, serving back to back sentences so that one parent at a time could be at home with their children.
Joe’s deportation was court ordered back in October 2018 and he announced this April that his last appeal had been denied.
He and Teresa have maintained an amicable relationship since their split and she took their four daughters to Italy before lockdown to visit their father.
Side by side: Both Teresa and Joe spent time in jail for fraud; they are pictured at court Newark on March 4, 2014 when they pleaded guilty
They share daughters Gia, 19, Gabriella, 16, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 11, two of whom will be visiting him in just a couple of weeks.
‘Two of my daughters will be coming Nov. 4, Milania and Gia. So I’m excited. It would be nice if all four came but the little one’s got dance and Gabriella is very on top of her game, she doesn’t like to miss anything. Which is understandable,’ Joe shared.
‘I FaceTime with them all the time. I talk to Teresa all the time, too. You know, we’re OK. It is what it is….We wanna set something up for Christmas, we’re talking maybe meeting at an island. Hopefully everything opens up.’

Someone who added to the sum total of artistic beauty has died.
The Grammy award winning song writer died this week. Here she is singing one of her famous songs, "Love At the Five and Dime".
My favorite of hers is "Trouble in the Fields" and this rendition by Carson McKee, recorded at the very beginning of the pandemic, seemed to offer a warm and humane reaction to the troubles headed our way. I don't think I'll ever be able to remember the start of the pandemic without thinking of this rendition.
May she rest in peace.

Here is a funny song performed in her inimitable style by legendary singer Helen Kane.
Helen Kane (1903 - 1966) was an American popular singer, best known for her "boop-boop-a-doop" trademark and her signature song, "I Wanna Be Loved By You". Fleischer Studios animator Grim Natwick used Kane as the model for his studio's most famous creation, Betty Boop.
She was born as Helen Schroeder, to a German father and an Irish mother. By the time she was 15 years old, Helen was onstage professionally, touring the Orpheum Circuit with the Marx Brothers.
Helen spent the early 1920's trouping in vaudeville as a singer, and kickline dancer with a theater engagement called the All Jazz Revue. She played the New York Palace for the first time in 1921. She also sang onstage with an early girl harmony singing trio - The Hamilton Sisters and Fordyce. The big break of Helen Kane's career came in 1927, when appearing in a musical called "A Night in Spain". Kane's first performance at the Paramount Theater in Times Square proved to be her defining moment and career's launching point. Kane was singing the popular song "That's My Weakness Now", when she interpolated the scat lyrics "boop-boop-a-doop". The rather odd gamble paid off and, four days later, Helen Kane's name went up in lights. Overnight, the world changed for Helen. Kane's agent got her $5,500 a week in Oscar Hammerstein's 1928 show "Good Boy" (where she first introduced the hit, "I Wanna Be Loved by You"). She had excellent diction, intonation and timing, acquired during her apprenticeship in vaudeville. These were put to good use, as her songs have a strong word focus; they also capitalise on her pert, coquettish voice. She blended several styles which were fashionable at the end of the 1920's. These included scat singing and also blending singing and speech; Sprechgesang, or "speech-song" was fashionable at this time in the German Weimar Republic in both nightclubs and in serious music. Kane made 22 song recordings during the height of her fame, during 1928-1930. After 1930 and up to 1951, she made only five more, including a re-release of "I Wanna Be Loved by You". As she took on the status of a singing sensation, there were Helen Kane dolls and Helen Kane look-alike contests, appearances on radio and in nightclubs. In late 1928 and early 1929 this cult following had reached its peak. Kane's height (about 5 feet tall) and slightly plump figure attracted attention and fans. Her round face with its huge brown eyes was topped by black, curly hair; her voice was a baby squeak with a distinct Bronx accent. In 1930, Fleischer Studios animator Grim Natwick introduced a caricature of Helen Kane, with droopy dog ears and a squeaky singing voice, in the cartoon "Dizzy Dishes". "Betty Boop", as the character was later dubbed, soon became popular and the star of her own cartoons. In 1932, she was changed into a human from a dog, her long ears turning into hoop earrings. In 1932, Kane filed an unsuccessful suit against Paramount and Max Fleischer, charging unfair competition and wrongful appropriation in the Betty Boop cartoons. Margy Hines, Bonnie Poe, and, most notably, Betty Boop voice-over talent Mae Questel, were all summoned to testify. The judge ruled against Kane in 1934, claiming that Kane's testimony could not prove that her singing style was unique or not an imitation itself (a little-known black singer known as "Baby Esther" was cited by the defence as "booping" in song). She still appeared in a stage production called "Shady Lady" in 1933, and made appearances at various nightclubs and theatres during the 1930's. In 1950, she dubbed a teenaged Debbie Reynolds who performed "I Wanna Be Loved By You" in the MGM musical biopic of songwriting duo Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby: "Three Little Words". She did not appear in the film's credits. She appeared in several TV shows in the 1950's and 1960's, principally "Toast of the Town" (later episodes known as "The Ed Sullivan Show"). Kane's final public appearance was on the Sullivan show on St. Patrick's Day 1965.
Enjoy Helen Kane's incredible style!

Style Icon -- Zooey Deschanel
Zooey Deschanel of indy movie fame has a quirky cool style that never
fails to make a lasting impression. With that dark hair and those amazing
eyes I think she is one of the most beautiful actresses out there. Zooey
is absolutely gorgeous in the picture on left, channeling a bit of old time
french glamour. It makes me want to experiment with fake lashes and
Zooey often mixes and matches prints and colors for a thrown together chic
look. Adorable bow detail on that jacket!
Always cute and interesting, Zooey in two vintage looks.
She plays the brooding angst-ridden girl well. I first remember seeing
her as Anita Miller in "Almost Famous". I love the combination of this
orange sweater with yellow flats and the bow and lace dress.
Though born in LA to a cinematographer and actress, Zooey manages to
stay out of the tabloids for the most part unlike a lot of other members of
Two red carpet looks. Long or short she always looks amazing.

Robert Vaughn died from acute leukemia on Friday. The 83-year-old actor had been receiving treatment on the East Coast for this past year.
Vaughn was probably best known for his role of Napoleon Solo, the protagonist of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a series influenced by James Bond. The show pitted Solo and his partner Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) against the evil organization called T.H.R.U.S.H. The series, which ran from 1964 to 1968, spawned a spin-off, “The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.,” and several movies.
Vaughn began acting in the 1950s. His first noteworthy performance was in 1959’s “The Young Philadelphians,” which starred Paul Newman. Vaughn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
He appeared in “The Magnificent Seven” the following year. The movie, which was directed by John Sturges, was a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai.” The film transplanted the story from medieval Japan to the Wild West and also starred Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson and Steve McQueen.
During the 1970s, Vaughn worked on many television miniseries, including 1977’s “Washington: Behind Closed Doors” and 1979’s “Backstairs at the White House.” He received Emmy nominations for his roles in both shows.
By now, Vaughn was often playing senators and other powerful figures. Many of his characters were wily schemers. He continued working in both film and television up through the current decade; he appeared on “Law & Order: SVU” in 2015. His last film appearance was as Carmine in “Gold Star” (2016).
Vaughn is survived by his wife Linda Staab; they married in 1974. They had adopted two children, a daughter named Caitlin and a son named Cassidy.

NYFF Review #7: MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
A total crowd-pleaser (with integrity), Simon Curtis' MY WEEK WITH MARILYN starts off in a slightly ponderous manner with Eddie Redmayne's wide-eyed, well-backed Colin Clark determined to wind his way into the British film industry. The film's smart economy allows this upper-class maven to land a job with Lawrence Olivier's production company at once, just at the right moment to allow him to meet his (and many other's) first big screen crush--a lady named Marilyn Monroe. She brings her resolutely American ways--learned at Lee Strasberg's Actor's Studio--to the UK, and this puts them on an inevitable collision course with Olivier's more traditional acting mores. Kenneth Branaugh's bluster as Olivier keeps us entwined in the first 20 minutes, as we follow his preparations for the filming of what would turn out to be his final directorial effort, 1957's THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL. But you can feel yourself waiting for the star of the show while watching MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. And the star does NOT disappoint.
The always remarkable Michelle Williams hooks us completely with her resolutely definitive version of Marilyn. She appears fleetingly in the first act, like a shy vision. But by the second act, she's found a friend and a flirtation in Redmayne's increasingly endearing Colin Clark (who wrote two memoirs about his unique relationship with the superstar). Williams is stunning in this bon-bon of a movie. I cannot dare to say what she has done, except to say that she shrinks the memory of any other actress who dared to portray Monroe on film. How do I know this?
Well, while at the New York Film Festival, I was lucky enough to view the movie while sitting next to a writer and actor who knew Marilyn well. He told me stories about being with her at the Actor's Studio, brushing up with her in a small-spaced clinch with her breasts pressing up against him. He admitted to having a crush on her much like Redmayne's Clark has in the film, and I could feel my now-elderly friend sighing with envy throughout the entire movie. He said he had met with Marilyn six times (including once at Elia Kazan's home), and that she remembered him and would wave to him anytime they were in the vicinity of each other. His ultimate review of MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is that Williams gets it all right--the insecurity, yes, but moreover the instantly recognizable sweetness of this little hurt bird that reveled in warbling and preening for the joy of every man. Though her difficulties on-set are portrayed, this is not a movie about her downfall; it's about her last chance at innocence (there's an insanely fine "date" scene with Monroe and Clark that erases all thoughts that, at the time, she was married to Arthur Miller).
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN is lithe and fast-paced. It's not a utterly fantastic movie--whenever Monroe is not on-screen, it feels like top-notch television fare--but it does contain a sparkling, supreme performance. It'll probably be a huge hit, which it deserves to be because of the captivating Williams. She is an actress who really seems she can do no wrong these days. Singing, primping, or depressed, Michelle Willliams portrays a perfect Marilyn Monroe.


Middle Child Returns with Another Impressive Single, Reality
Los Angeles DJ Artist Dan Larson, also known by stage name Middle Child, continues a stream of fantastic releases with the unveiling of his latest single Reality. This is the artist’s third single released this year after Understand and PCH. With the latest track, he continues to prove that he is capable of creating chart-topping greatness.
The new song by Middle Child is written on guitar as a tribute to Ravi Zacharias, one of the greatest Christian Apologists, author, teacher and preacher. In Reality, he incorporates some of Ravi Z.’s wise words about music.
“The thing about music is that it is the language of the soul. You can argue philosophically in many ways but music brings the emotion into reality.” As the track comes to close, there’s nearly a full minute of sonic exploration with new sounds and textures.
Middle child has substantially shifted gears to bring an infectiously electronic single to fruition. He has turned listeners’ attention toward serving up a bright and lively set of synths. He hopes that his music speaks to them and will be able to cheer them. He also inspires others to create some extraordinary music.
Middle Child has a number of single releases under his belt. Last year, his solo “Mercy” passed half a million streams on Spotify. The Californian based singer and songwriter is fast at work on the launch of his next single.
About the Artist
Dan Larson, also known as Middle Child, was born in Boston. He was then raised in Madrid, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. The 29-year-old artist found his natural talent from a very young age while he was playing guitar. He started his musical journey when he was just 10 years old. He has been creating music since then.
Child has played in various bands, had made beats and rapped before getting into the field of Electronics Dance Music (EDM), mainly dubstep or trap music. It was in 2014, when he decided to go for the project Middle Child, by incorporating a bit of each of his musical influences. With this he was able to explore a more emotional and melodic style of music.
What drives the artist to create his masterpieces is his faith. Child says that it is his faith that keeps him going and that gives him hope and a purpose to produce sensational works.
The singer has more than 20k followers on Twitter and more than 27k on Instagram. This makes almost all of his tracks finding a way to thousands of listeners. He also has nearly 167k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Kaya Rose Humphrey was born on March 13, 1992 in Holloway, London, England. She was raised by her Brazilian mother in a council flat after her father left when she was one. She adopted her mother’s maiden name, Scodelario, and became fluent in Portuguese. Growing up, Scodelario was bullied at school about her dyslexia, frizzy hair, and petite frame. Acting became an outlet for her, where she gained confidence and she soon became passionate about the art. She then decided to pursue roles after playing the lead in her school’s production of Oliver.
At the age of 14, Scodelario auditioned for a new E4 TV series called Skins. In order to get herself noticed, she claimed she was 16 on the forms, and asked the director for a light. The role originally went to another actress, but when she dropped out, Scodelario stepped in. She was cast as Effy Stonem, the younger sister of the show’s lead, Tony. The role grew over the years, from an almost-mute to queen bee, as the show decided to focus on Effy and her friends for series three and four. Effy was the only character to be featured in the first four seasons and Scodelario became one of the biggest breakouts of the series.
After Skins, she filmed small supporting roles in Moon, Shank, and Clash of the Titans. She has appeared in music videos for British musicians Plan B, The Ruskins, and Robbie Williams. Scodelario also had a short stint at Models 1 modeling agency, but still continues to receive modeling jobs in order to promote her projects.
Her big feature film debut came when Andrea Arnold cast her as Catherine Earnshaw in a new rendition of Wuthering Heights. Though Scodelario did not believe she was one for period drama, she was attracted to the role because of Arnold’s unconventional approach to the story. “I think a lot of people assume that ‘Wuthering Heights’ is this great love story, but I think the first thing [Arnold] said to me that it wasn’t, it’s very dark, deep and conflicting. It’s very kind of Gothic and a bit fucked up to be honest,” (WWD, 2011). The film played at several film festivals around the globe and was praised for its cinematography, art direction, and its use of natural sound. Scodelario was raved for her performance, and the role has opened more doors for her since then.
In 2011, Scodelario filmed roles for Twenty8k, Now Is Good, and a new improvisational TV series, True Love. She then filmed her first American feature in January 2012 called The Truth About Emanuel, where she plays the title role, and was buzzed as a ‘Sundance darling’ when it premiered at the 2013 festival. Soon after, she participated in her first ad campaign with popular Korean jewelry brand, J.Estina, filmed BBC drama Southcliffe, and reprised her iconic role as Effy Stonem, for Skins Fire.
2013 brought in many new aspects to her career. Scodelario decided to try her hand at a franchise, and scored the female lead of Teresa in The Maze Runner, based upon the popular YA series by James Dashner. She also completed a fashion film, Walking Stories, for Salvatore Ferragamo, and joined the cast of 24 Hour Plays Celebrity Gala, a fundraiser for the Old Vic theatre. Next up, Scodelario will film home-invasion thriller, Tiger House, in Cape Town, South Africa, in the new year. Furthermore, she is attached to Stay With Me and Invisible, which are both currently in-development.
She has stated that she loves being apart of a new generation of actors who are not professionally trained and have more of an edge. Scodelario’s heart currently resides in independent film, as it provides her with more of a learning experience, but would only consider Hollywood with the right role. “I don’t think that I could ever play just a ‘pretty girlfriend’ or just a stereotypical female part that’s just there to get her tits out – that just doesn’t interest me at all, really. I just want to keep pushing myself with every role and keep pushing myself with every film,” she says (Topman, 2013).
Amongst her hobbies, Scodelario enjoys watching her favourite bands in concert, such as the Rolling Stones and Arctic Monkeys. She has a fun, lovable crush on Austrian actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even named her french bulldog, ‘Arnie’, after him. Scodelario is also a generous individual, and enjoys working with a few charities, most recently, Let’s Get Talking. LGT is a charity which encourages open discussion for teens to raise awareness of health and crime prevention amongst our youth.

Britney Spears has been a staple of pop culture since the 1990s — first appearing in “The Mickey Mouse Club” when she was only 11, then advancing to her own trailblazing pop career at the age of 16.
Ever since her debut studio album “… Baby One More Time,” Spears has lived life in the limelight. Constant performances, an increasing lack of privacy and being under harsh public scrutiny can take its toll on a person — especially when one receives both positive and negative attention at such a young age. In 2008, after a tumultuous year consisting of nonstop work and problems with her personal life, Spears had a series of public breakdowns. The star was put under a temporary conservatorship, which continues to be extended, under the care of her father.
Spears has remained under this conservatorship for 12 years. Only recently did she begin to publicly express a desire to break free from her father’s control after he temporarily stepped down as her conservator in 2019. Spears’ representatives have accused her father of “financial mismanagement and repressive secrecy.” However, at a recent court hearing on Nov. 10, a judge who has overseen Spears’s conservatorship denied her request for the immediate removal of her father from the control of her estate.
Although she is open to the possibility, Spears is not currently asking to be free from her conservatorship. She is merely asking that her father not be the legal guardian managing it. That seems a reasonable request from an adult nearing her 40s, who has not only maintained a successful career but who has also worked nonstop throughout the 12 years under conservatorship.
Spears experienced some of the most troubling years of her life leading up to 2007. She was constantly hounded by paparazzi wherever she went, released four studio albums with accompanying tours and went through a divorce, all while the public scrutinized her every move. Spears’ partying days also contributed to a decline in her public image. In 2007, she had a public breakdown, and she infamously took a razor and shaved her own head.
Spears is not the only young celebrity to go through a “wild phase.” Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus and Amanda Bynes all went through similar stages. However, Spears is the only one who has turned her life around but still remains in someone else’s control.
I can understand Spears’s need for conservatorship at this time in her life. Her father controlled her finances and her personal life, dictating the questions she would be allowed to answer, where she was allowed to go and how she spent her money. He aided Spears during this troubling time and helped maintain a sizable net worth for her. However, this was over a decade ago. Spears has proven that she is capable of working and doing well for herself, releasing multiple successful albums, selling out tours, completing a four-year Las Vegas residency and appearing as a judge on The X Factor. If Spears can do all of this, she should at least be able to have a say in who controls her estate.
Some might argue that Spears was only capable of doing this under a conservatorship. However, Spears is not pushing to be completely free from her guidance right now. She only wishes to have her father removed from control and be replaced with Jodi Montgomery, the temporary stand-in that was appointed to Spears’ conservatorship in 2019. Spears “strongly prefers” Montgomery, stating that she is “afraid of her father” and refuses to perform under his control. Not only has Montgomery served as Spears’ care manager in the past, but she is an experienced conservator who owns a private fiduciary firm with her husband as well.
However, the decision at the November court hearing is not a complete loss for Spears. The judge did allow for a corporate fiduciary, the Bessemer Trust, to be appointed as a co-conservator for Spears.
Fans have been extremely vocal about their support for Spears, sparking a “Free Britney” movement demanding that the singer should be free of her conservatorship. It is worth noting, however, that the movement has also led to some wild conspiracies with no confirmed evidence behind them. Spears has kept quiet about this in the past, but has recently seemed to acknowledge the movement, with her lawyer stating, “Britney welcomes and appreciates the informed support of her many fans,” and rejecting Spears’ comments by her father about it being just a “conspiracy theory” or “joke.”
Spears is a grown woman. She has been under the spotlight for most of her life and remains under a long 12-year conservatorship. It’s time for that to change. She’s not asking for complete control, but a mere adjustment that should be granted to her. Some argue that she’s not ready to run “her own life yet,” but how will she know if she never gets the chance?

Meghan Trainor (“All About the Bass”)
and Colbie Caillat (“Try” are two strong young women singer-songwriters. We like their messages of empowerment.
Meghan, 20, grew up in Nantucket, Ma. and recorded three albums by the time she was 17. She has written for Rascal Flatts, Hunter Hayes and Ryan Follese of Hot Chelle Rae.
Her debut album for Epic Record her bouncy hit which celebrates curvy girls who should, as she says, “love your body no matter what.”
Colbie, 30, grew up in California. “Try” is the lead single on her fifth studio album, “Gypsy Heart” and is written with Babyface and Jason Reeves. Colbie says, “It’s this song I’ve had in my head my entire life about personal insecurities, imperfections, self-confidence issue.”


Utah based singer-songwriter Lacey Williams originally started her musical voyage through classical music while living in Tokyo. Williams’ father worked in the hotel business, which meant that she lived much of her childhood in Japan. It wasn’t until her dad hired a western swing band to play at one of the hotel restaurants that she decided to steer away from classical music, instead developing a keen interest in country and bluegrass.
Through college Williams regularly wrote and performed original songs, forming the foundation of her musical career. After graduation she moved to Nashville with her husband, Drew Williams. The couple recorded multiple albums, as a duo, under the name “Drew & Lacey”.
The debut single “Cut ‘N’ Curl”, a swinging country-rock track about small town hairdressers, is her first venture as a solo artist. With Williams characteristic voice and solid instrumentation, there’s no doubt about the fact that “Cut ‘N’ Curl” is going to make its way up the charts.

Lovely as always, Chloe Grace was seen outside The Ed Sullivan Theater on Thursday (May 3) in New York City. Wearing a Christopher Kane dress with Jimmy Choo heels, she made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in order to promote her two movies whoch are coming out next Friday – Dark Shadows, as well as Hick. The same day, Chloe was also seen walking hand by hand with her brother Trevor in New York. Enjoy the pics.
Here you can also watch her performance, unfortunately quality of the video isn’t the best. In the interview with David Letterman, Chloe talks driving a car, when she started acting, how is like to having 4 older brothers and working with Johnny Depp. What’s more at the end of the show, Chloe introduced an exclusive clip from “Dark Shadows”. Don’t forget to check it out!
Few minutes ago I added to photo gallery first photos from “Dark Shadows” press conference at SLS Hotel on April 29, 2012 in Beverly Hills. She with the director Tim Burton, Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green represented the cast at the event. Unfortunately Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter were absent. Anyway, she looks awesome, I love her look. What do you think? :) By the way, I’m still looking for some press videos, so I’ll add them as soon as it will be possible. Visit our gallery to view the photos ;-)
Thanks to JustJared.com, we can read some excerpts of FLAUNT’s interview with our Chloe. I have mentioned this few days ago and I have added this day small scans of the magazine. Now, I have for you the larger ones and the photos taken by Yu Tsai.Chloe looks incredible. I love her. Visit the photo gallery and view this beautiful photo shoot ;-)
On choosing roles:
I mean, yeah. I’ve done some kid stuff, but I mean I’m just driven to do stuff that is not ‘me,’ you know? … I just had a meeting with a director and I have three pages of notes on the psychology of the character and her thoughts and her past. It’s, like, as complicated as genetics.

I’m hopefully going to Columbia University. I want to do a minor in Art History and major in Criminal Psychology. I find criminal psychology incredibly fascinating and scary and how volatile the human mind can be. And I really love classical art, definitely. I mean, I’ve been to so many amazing places in Paris and London, and I’ve seen some beautiful pieces.
I’m not doing campaigns yet. I want to wait a couple years, because I think if I do it right now, where am I going to go when I’m 20 and I’ve already done two campaigns or something? You know, I figure, why do everything so young and so fast? I’m only 15. Why rush everything? I’m saving a lot of stuff for later. A fashion campaign will come in due time.
Here it is, the red-band trailer for Derick Martini’s adaptation of “Hick”. The story follows Luli (Chloe Moretz), a 13-year-old Nebraskan girl, and her rough life of crime and seduction on the road after she runs away from her neglectful parents. Taken in by Glenda (Blake Lively), a hard-living grifter, the two take Las Vegas by storm, guns in hand. Eddie Redmayne, Rory Culkin, Juliette Lewis and Alec Baldwin also co-star in the adaptation which is slated to hit UltraVOD on May 8th and heads to select theaters starting on May 11th at the beginning of the summer.
As far as I’m concerned, I can’t wait to see it. I’m curious how Chloe managed her role (and I have no doubts about it!) but the critics aren’t impressed by the film nor Chloe Grace. As one critic wrote when the film debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival: “‘Hick’ is an even worse film than ‘Kick-Ass,’ and a potential [Chloe] Grace-Moretz career-killer.” We’ll see.
On April 26, Chloe Grace attended the CinemaCon Awards ceremony at the Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace during CinemaCon, the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners. As it had been announced before, Chloe received the Female Star of Tomorrow Award so we can see the photos of her as she was smiling and posing with the award. Congrats, Chloe!


The Make-Up Man
Blessed with the fast-talking wit of a young Eddie Murphy and the show business flair of a 1950’s era Little Richard, super international make-up artist Dan LaChae masterfully tears his clients down, just tobuild them up. Way up.
Mr. LaChae is the flamboyant half of LaChae Cosmetics, the business empire which he co-founded with his former wife, the lovely Margaret Clark. And make no mistake…he is the best in the business.
Want proof? Just ask him.
The mythology of Mr. LaChae has to be witnessed up close to be believed. His theatrical evaluations ofclients and prospects, both off the cuff and hilarious, epitomize his imitable gift for self-presentation. When a client is in his chair, he is not only in his element; he is on stage perfecting his artistry.
“Dan is a true star,” says one of his supporters. “He doesn’t just apply make-up to a person’s skin. He renovates their face with the precise craftsmanship of a Michelangelo.”
Mr. LaChae has also proclaimed himself to be an image consultant. But from his trademark one-liners to his often flashy attire, it is quite evident that his image is the one that he cultivates the most. His insatiable charm and self-assurance serve him well in his flirtatious communications with women. This is a signature tactic which he utilizes with both potential and existing clients who are lucky enough to stroll past a LaChae location while he is present.
Dan LaChae is not only a passionate advocate for his own brand. He is a living legend.
