Academy Awards 2012 Best Supporting Actress nominees predictions

2012-01-24T14:55:00.000-08:00

Octavia Spencer for The Help

Born: 25th May, 1972 - Montgomery, Alabama, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: Strong, funny and energetic - Octavia Spencer's performance in The Help will give her an Oscar nomination... and a win! She's such an amazing scene-stealer in The Help - she's simply magnetic!

Bérénice Bejo for The Artist

Born: 7th July, 1976 - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: She's a beautiful woman, playing a rising cinema star in the most acclaimed movie of the year - The Artist. She's very expressive, she's very charming, she's so sweet and nice to watch and she's having a wonderful awards season... so an Oscar nomination seems assured. Only a really talented actress could deliver a performance like hers in The Artist and I believe the AMPAS will have this fact in consideration and see her as an excuse to give another Oscar nod to what promises to be their favorite movie of the year.

Shailene Woodley for The Descendants

Born: 15th November, 1991 - Simi Valley, California, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: By more than holding herself alongside George Clooney (in one of the best performances of his career) in one of the most acclaimed movies of the year, Shailene Woodley is likely to become an Oscar nominee. Alexander Payne directed actors use to get Oscar nominations and after all the raves and the Golden Globe and Critics' Choice Awards nominations, she's one of the front-runners (missing a SAG Award nod may not hurt her Oscar chances a lot, since she's young and beautiful and this is her first big-screen performance).

Janet McTeer for Albert Nobbs

Born: 8th May, 1961 - Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, England, UK

Previous Oscar acting recognition: 2000 - Best Leading Actress for Tumbleweeds (nom);

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: The AMPAS loves gender-bending (do you remember Cate Blanchett as one of the Bob Dylans?) and while some people simply can't fall in love for Glenn Close's leading performance in Albert Nobbs, McTeer is getting universal acclaim and award recognition. The movie isn't THAT good, but McTeer's performance is bright and her character is clearly alive, so she will get an Oscar nomination, with or without her co-star in the Best Actress nominees list

Jessica Chastain for The Tree of Life

Born: March 29, 1981 - California, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: I don't remember any actress or actor who had such a wonderful breakthrough year: The Tree of Life, Take Shelter, Coriolanus, The Debt and The Help. Chastain deserves the Academy's recognition for such an incredible breakthrough year and her performance in The Tree of Life, in spite of not being the most Oscar looking, it's the most divine one - she looks so ethereal that you start asking yourself if this beautiful woman is an human being! Voters will easily want to nominate Chastain and I've a feeling that they will go for her performance in Malick's latest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vanessa Redgrave for Coriolanus

Born: 30th January, 1937 - Greenwich, London, England, UK

Previous Oscar acting recognition: 1967 - Best Leading Actress for Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment (nom); 1969 - Best Leading Actress for Isadora (nom); 1972 - Best Leading Actress for Mary, Queen of Scots (nom); 1978 - Best Supporting Actress for Julia (win); 1985 - Best Leading Actress for The Bostonians (nom); 1993 - Best Supporting Actress for Howard's End (nom);

Oscar snubed performance(s): 1987 - Prick Up Your Ears; 2007 - Atonement

Oscar chances comment: I really do believe that IF Oscar voters watch Coriolanus, they will want to nominate Vanessa Redgrave "titanic" performance as a "monster mum". Redgrave has been away from the Oscar races since 1992/1993, which is too long for such an acting queen and the Academy loves to honour its "old treasures". No one can ignore Redgrave's performance in Coriolanus, which is (one of) the best acting performance of the year, but the question here is "Will enough Oscar voters see Coriolanus?"

Jessica Chastain for The Help

Born: March 29, 1981 - California, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: Jessica Chastain Oscar-nod-worthy performance of the year #2! While it is no better than her turn in The Tree of Life, but just completely different, Chastain benefits from The Help's Best Picture front-runner status and for showing such great comedic chops. Awards are more generous with this performance than Chastain's one in Terrence Malick latest, but the AMPAS loves drama more than comedy, so things may be a little different from the awards season...

Melissa McCarthy for Bridesmaids

Born: August 26, 1970 - Plainfield, Illinois, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: People love a funny fat lady and Melissa McCarthy's performance in Bridesmaids is simply hilarious and she's able to steal the scene. A lot of people didn't take her Oscar chances THAT seriously (me included), mostly due to "that something the AMPAS seems to have against comedies", but the truth is that Melissa got SAG Awards, BAFTA and Critics' Choice Award nominations! To be honest, I think there would be other performances who deserve Oscar recognition better than Melissa's, but... this is a hell of a damn good comedic performance and the movie is so popular!.

Carey Mulligan for Shame

Born: 28th May, 1985 - Westminster, London, England, UK

Previous Oscar acting recognition: 2010 - Best Leading Actress for An Education (nom);

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: Carey Mulligan surprised both critics and audiences with her raw and "dynamite" performance as the sister of a sex-addict in Shame and got some considerable Oscar buzz around her. She received a big couple of major critics awards' noms and since the Academy loves a young and beautiful classy actress with great acting chops in a performance with nudity somewhere, Mulligan's Oscar hopes still alive!

10.

Jessica Chastain for Take Shelter

Born: March 29, 1981 - California, USA

Previous Oscar acting recognition: none

Oscar snubed performance(s): none

Oscar chances comment: Another great Chastain performance, but the Take Shelter belongs to Michael Shannon performance, in spite of all the raves she won as her work as a wife of a mentally unhealthy (???) man. She got an Independent Spirit Award nomination for this one and the Academy members go for performances in indie productions, sometimes... so, it can be an expected surprise!

Elizabeth Smart Story

2012-01-24T14:52:00.000-08:00

I applaud Judge Kimball, the prosecution team, investigation team, and most importantly, Elizabeth Smart and her family on the day justice was served. I know Elizabeth will do great things with her life. I remember so well the time of her kidnapping. It boggles my mind she endured such abuse for nine long months at the hands of someone so sick.

Elizabeth Smart

2012-01-24T14:50:00.000-08:00

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that ABC News has hired former kidnap victim Elizabeth Smart to serve as a contributor.

According to the network, Smart will comment on missing persons cases. The now 23-year-old was abducted from her Salt Lake City, Utah, bedroom in 2002 and held for eight months.

"She’ll help our viewers better understand missing person stories from someone with the perspective to know what a family experiences when a loved one goes missing," ABC News spokesperson Julie Townsend said.

Townsend said ABC's news division has been in discussions with Smart for some time. She has spoken both publicly and in court about her ordeal and her family published a book which CBS adapted into a movie in 2003.

A spokesperson for ABC told CNN that Smart could be on the air within a matter of weeks.

The announcement comes at the same time that ABC is touting a two-hour news special to run on Sunday about another famous kidnap victim, Jaycee Dugard.

Dugard was abducted in 1991, held for 18 years and gave birth to two children by her captor. She has written a book, "A Stolen Life," which is soon to be published and will share her story with ABC's Diane Sawyer during the special.

Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at age 14 and was held by a Salt Lake City street preacher for nine months in 2002 and 2003, has joined ABC News as a paid contributor.

An ABC spokeswoman said Thursday that she will “help our viewers better understand missing person stories from someone with the perspective to know what a family experiences when a loved one goes missing.”

ABC said that its staffers had been in talks with Ms. Smart about the position for “quite some time,” and that she could appear on the network in the coming weeks.

The surprising hire was first reported Wednesday night by The Daily Beast, which asked, “Other than fame — as the victim of a horrifying crime — what exactly are her qualifications?”

ABC News has hired Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped as a teenager in 2002 and held captive for nine months, as a contributor.
Smart is slated to appear on multiple ABC platforms, including such programs as "Good Morning America" and "Nightline." She is expected to come on the air in the next few weeks.

"She'll help our viewers better understand missing person stories from someone with the perspective to know what a family experiences when a loved one goes missing," said ABC communications veep Julie Townsend. "And her contributions will be focused on looking ahead, not looking back at her own story."

Elizabeth Smart's Abductor Gets Life in Prison Without Parole

2012-01-24T14:48:00.001-08:00

SALT LAKE CITY (CN) - The man who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart and held her captive for 9 months was sentenced Wednesday to two life sentences in prison without possibility of parole. "I don't have very much to say to you," Smart told her rapist and abductor, street preacher Brian David Mitchell, who sang at his sentencing hearing.
Mitchell kidnapped Smart, then a teen-ager, at knifepoint in 2002, and held her for 9 months at makeshift camps in the mountains above Salt Lake City and in Southern California with his wife, Wanda Barzee. They plied her with alcohol, tied her to trees, raped her and forced her to watch them have sex.

Mitchell, a self-proclaimed prophet, said Smart was to be his plural wife. He tried, but failed, to kidnap another child bride in California.
U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball sentenced Mitchell Wednesday afternoon before a full courtroom at about 3:30 p.m., after remarks by prosecutors Robert Steele and Felice Viti, defense attorney Parker Douglas, and Elizabeth Smart and her father, Ed.
Elizabeth, now 23, addressed Mitchell directly and faced him from the center of the courtroom.
"I don't have very much to say to you," she said.
"I know exactly what you did. I know that you know what you did was wrong. You did it with a full knowledge. I also want you to know that I have a wonderful life now, that no matter what you do, it will not affect me again. You took away 9 months of my life that can never be returned, but in this life or next, you will have to be held responsible for those actions, and I hope you are ready for when that time comes."
Smart's father preceded her and told Mitchell, "Your perversion and exploitation of religion is not a defense. It is disgusting, and it is an abuse that anyone should despise. You put Elizabeth through 9 months of psychological hell. ... I hope at some point in your life you are able to repent of it."
Prosecutor Viti said that the mentally competent Mitchell was "effective in stalling his legal proceedings for 7 years," until Wednesday's sentencing.
Elizabeth's "world changed, changed suddenly, violently and without warning" Viti said. "The boogeyman under the bed and the monster in the closet became real.
"For 9 months Ms. Smart endured and survived. ... Those 9 months can never be recovered and what she lost can never be replaced. ... We are confident that a life sentence is where law and justice intersect."
Kimball gave Mitchell an opportunity to speak, but the man with a long beard and flowing hair, eyes closed, quietly sang church hymns, as he's done throughout the proceedings.
Judge Kimball said: "This is an unusually heinous and degrading set of facts and circumstances that lasted for 9 months, and it's certainly even horribly unusual for this kind of crime.
"We know the facts here, and this is a horrible crime, and a life sentence does reflect the seriousness."
Kimball handed down two life sentences on Missing Children's Day.
Mitchell was found guilty in December of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for sex.
Mitchell has 10 days to appeal. The Federal Bureau of Prisons will assign him a location outside of Utah, as the state has no federal prison. He will not be eligible for parole.

Kristen Stewart Biography

2012-01-23T12:38:00.001-08:00

Kristen Jaymes Stewart (born April 9, 1990) is an American actress. Kristen Stewart is best known for playing Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga. She has also starred in films including Panic Room (2002), Zathura (2005), In the Land of Women (2007), The Messengers (2007), Adventureland (2009) and The Runaways (2010).

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Her father, John Stewart, is a stage manager and television producer who has worked for Fox. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is a script supervisor originally from Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia. She has an older brother, Cameron Stewart, and an adoptive brother, Taylor. Stewart attended school until the seventh grade, and then continued her education by correspondence. Kristen Stewart has since completed high school.

Career

Her whole family all worked behind the camera, and Stewart thought she would become a writer/director, but never considered being an actor. "I never wanted to be the center of attention – I wasn't that 'I want to be famous, I want to be an actor' kid. I never sought out acting, but I always practiced my autograph because I love pens. I'd write my name on everything." Stewart's acting career began at the age of eight, after an agent saw her perform in her elementary school's Christmas play. After a year of auditioning, Stewart's first role was a nonspeaking part in the film The Thirteenth Year. Then, she had another part in the film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas as the "ring toss girl". She subsequently appeared in the independent film The Safety of Objects, in which she played the tomboy daughter of a troubled single mother (Patricia Clarkson). Stewart had a major role in the Hollywood film Panic Room, playing the diabetic daughter of a divorced mother (Jodie Foster). The film received generally positive reviews, and Stewart garnered positive notices for her performance. Kristen Stewart was nominated for a Young Artist Award for her performance.

After Panic Room's success, Stewart was cast in another thriller, Cold Creek Manor, playing the daughter of Dennis Quaid's and Sharon Stone's characters. She was again nominated for a Young Artist Award for her performance. It was revealed that at about this time in her career, she had to be homeschooled due to her irregular schedule, which was affecting her grades. She said, "I started homeschooling because my teachers were failing me. I think it was just resentment – I made more work for them. But homeschooling is great; you can study what you want, which allows you to get more excited about what you're doing".

Her first starring role followed, in the children's action-comedy Catch That Kid, opposite Max Thieriot and Corbin Bleu. Stewart also played the role of Lila in the thriller Undertow. To date, Stewart's most critically acclaimed role may be in the Showtime television film Speak (2004), based on the novel by Laurie Halse Anderson. Stewart, 13 at the time of filming, played high school freshman Melinda Sordino, who stops almost all verbal contact after being raped. Kristen Stewart received great praise for playing the character, who had only a few speaking lines, but kept up a darkly humorous commentary inside her head throughout the film.

In 2005, Stewart appeared in the fantasy-adventure film Zathura, playing the role of Lisa, the irresponsible older sister of two little boys, who turn their house into a spacecraft hurtling uncontrollably in outer space by playing a board game. The film received praise by critics, but Stewart's performance did not garner much media attention, as it was noted that her character is immobilized during most of the film. The following year, she played the character Maya in Fierce People, directed by Griffin Dunne. After that film, she received the lead role of Jess Solomon in the supernatural thriller film The Messengers.

Kristen Stewart

In 2007, Kristen Stewart appeared as teenager Lucy Hardwicke in In the Land of Women, a romantic drama starring Meg Ryan and Adam Brody. The film, as well as Stewart's performance, received mixed reviews. That same year, Stewart appeared in Sean Penn's critically acclaimed adaptation film Into the Wild. For her portrayal of Tracy – a teenage singer who has a crush on young adventurer Christopher McCandless – Stewart received generally positive reviews. Salon.com considered her work a "sturdy, sensitive performance", and the Chicago Tribune noted that she did "vividly well with a sketch of a role." Her performance was not without detractors, however; Variety's critic Dennis Harvey wrote, "It's unclear whether Stewart means to be playing hippie-chick Tracy as vapid, or whether it just comes off that way." After Into the Wild, Stewart had a cameo appearance in Jumper and also appeared in What Just Happened, which was released in October 2008. She also co-stars in The Cake Eaters an independent film that has only been screened at film festivals.

On November 16, 2007, Summit Entertainment announced that Kristen Stewart would play Isabella "Bella" Swan in the film Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire romance novel of the same name. Stewart was on the set of Adventureland when director Catherine Hardwicke visited her for an informal screen test which "captivated" the director. She stars alongside Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen, her character's vampire boyfriend. The film began production in February 2008 and finished filming in May 2008. Twilight was released domestically on November 21, 2008. Her performance garnered mixed reviews with some critcs calling her "the ideal casting choice" and praising her for conveying "Bella's detachment, as well as her need to bust through it" while others criticized her acting for being "wooden" and lacking variety in her facial expressions which they described as "blank". After the release of Twilight, Kristen Stewart was awarded the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance for her portrayal as Bella Swan.

Kristen Stewart reappeared as Bella in the sequel, The Twilight Saga: New Moon to critical acclaim, receiving much more positive reviews than her portrayal of the same character in Twilight. Jordan Mintzer from Variety called Stewart "the heart and soul of the film" and praised her for giving "both weight and depth to dialogue...that would sound like typical chick-lit blather in the mouth of a less engaging actress, and she makes Bella's psychological wounds seem like the real deal" while critics who gave the film its worst reviews still found her performance "bringing plenty of soul" to the character. She reprised this role in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Kristen Stewart has been nominated and presented with the BAFTA Rising Star award. At the 2010 82nd Annual Academy Awards, Stewart and Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner presented a tribute in honour of the horror movie genre.

In 2009, Kristen Stewart starred in The Yellow Handkerchief, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and was released into theaters in 2010 by Samuel Goldwyn Films. She also starred alongside James Gandolfini in Welcome to the Rileys, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2010.

Stewart most recently portrayed rock star Joan Jett in The Runaways, a biopic of the titular band from writer-director Floria Sigismondi. Stewart met with Jett over the 2008–2009 New Year to prepare for the role, and ended up prerecording songs in a studio for the film. She received nearly unanimous praise for her performance. Josh Tyler of Cinema Blend pronounced her to be "a modern day James Dean. She gives the kind of performance in The Runaways that hasn’t been seen on screen since his death. The Runaways is her Rebel Without a Cause ... she’s absolutely brilliant as Joan Jett." The Metro Times wrote, "It turns out that Stewart is actually really good at capturing Jett's icy, tough-but-cool girl swagger, adding the needed touches of vulnerability that transform it into a pretty terrific performance... Stewart is a genuine rock star here." Also, A. O. Scott of The New York Times noted "Ms. Stewart, watchful and unassuming, gives the movie its spine and soul."

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart has been cast in the role of Mary Lou in an upcoming film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's cult classic novel On the Road. Shooting began in August 2010.

Kristen Stewart was listed as the highest earning female actress in Hollywood in the "2010's Top Hollywood Top Earners List" compiled by Vanity Fair. Throughout 2010, Stewart earned an estimated $28.5 million for all her movie appearances.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1 was released on November 18, 2011. The film was successful in the box office making $283.5 million its opening weekend. Though the film received negative reviews, Stewart's perfomance was mostly praised. Gabriel Chong said that Stewart's performance, calling it "mesmerising" and saying that she "makes [Bella's] every emotion keenly felt that runs the gamut from joy, trepidation, anxiety, distress and above all quiet and resolute determination" and the Village Voice's Dan Konis saying Stewart "beautifully underplays" the role. However, some critics found that despite Pattinson and Stewart's chemistry, the relationship came off like a "charade" or that none of the three leads were convincing in their roles.

In March 2011, it was confirmed that Kristen Stewart will playing the leading role in the film Snow White and the Huntsman. Filming began on August 15 and is set to be released on June 1, 2012.

Stewart has also been attached to an upcoming big-budget, live-action adaptation of Akira from Warner Brothers for the role of Ky. On December 6, 2011, Stewart was named number one on Forbes magazine's list of Hollywood's Best Actors for the Buck.

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (born February 2, 1977), known professionally as Shakira (pronounced /ʃəˈkɪərə/, Spanish: [tʃaˈkiɾa] or [ʃaˈkiɾa]),is a Colombian singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, and philanthropist who emerged in the music scene of Colombia and Latin America in the early 1990s. Born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia, Shakira revealed many of her talents in school as a live performer, demonstrating her vocal ability with rock and roll, Latin and Middle Eastern influences with her own original twist on belly dancing. Shakira is a native Spanish speaker and also speaks fluent English and Portuguese as well as some Italian, French and Arabic.

After commercial flops with local producers on her first two albums, and being little-known outside Colombia, Shakira decided to produce her own brand of music. In 1995 she released Pies Descalzos, which brought her great fame in Latin America and Spain, and her 1998 album ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? was a critical success selling over 7 million copies worldwide. In 2001, aided by the worldwide success of her first English single "Whenever, Wherever" that became the best selling single of 2002, she broke through into the English-speaking world with the release of Laundry Service, which sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Four years later, Shakira released two album projects called Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2.

During her career, Shakira has performed at a large number of benefit concerts.

Top Singer - Shakira 2012

2012-01-22T14:15:00.000-08:00

Top singer Shakira Mebarak (full name: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll) was born February 2, 1977, in Barranquilla, Colombia, into a poor family. Her mother was a native Colombian and her father was of Lebanese descent, and so as a child Shakira soaked up music from both cultures; she also listened heavily to English-language rock & roll, listing her favorite bands in later interviews as Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Police, the Cure, and Nirvana. Shakira wrote her first song at age eight, began entering (and winning) talent competitions at age ten, and started learning the guitar at age 11 (one story runs that around this age, she was kicked out of her school choir for singing too forcefully). In 1990, at age 13, Shakira moved to Bogotá in hopes of pursuing a modeling career, but wound up signing a record deal with Sony's Colombian division instead. Her 1991 debut album, Magia, was comprised of songs she'd written over the past five or six years, including some of her earliest efforts. Although it didn't break internationally, the record started to make a name for her in her home country. Dissatisfied with the pop inclinations of the follow-up, 1993's Peligro, Shakira changed direction for a time, joining the cast of the Colombian soap opera El Oasis in 1994.

After achieving superstardom throughout Latin America, Colombian-born Shakira became Latin pop's biggest female crossover artist since Jennifer Lopez. Noted for her aggressive, rock-influenced approach, Shakira maintained an extraordinary degree of creative control over her music, especially for a female artist; she wrote or co-wrote nearly all of her own material, and in the process gained a reputation as one of Latin music's most ambitiously poetic lyricists.

Her U.S. album sales stand at 9.9 million. In the fall of 2009, Shakira released her sixth studio album She Wolf worldwide gaining a lot of critical praise for her eccentricity and writing skills. The album sold roughly 2 million copies around the world. Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", was chosen as the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The song has received generally positive critical reception, and has become a worldwide smash hit and the biggest selling World Cup song of all time. On YouTube, the English version of the music video is the 4th most watched video of all time with over 415 million views. When she released her seventh studio album, the bilingual Sale el Sol in October 2010, she gained back her Latin following, which Shakira described as being the main goal for the album. The album has sold over 2 million copies worldwide. Since 2009, Shakira's musical career suffered from a strained relationship with her label Epic Records, which resulted in lack of promotion and investment from Epic Records towards her two latter studio albums; She Wolf (2009) and Sale el Sol (2010). However, Shakira is to enter a bidding war from labels such as Warner and Def Jam Records after the release of her 2011 World Tour DVD, titled Shakira: Live from Paris.

Early life

Shakira was born on February 2, 1977 in Barranquilla, Colombia. She is the only child of Nidia Ripoll and William Mebarak Chadid and is of Lebanese, Macedonian, Spanish (Catalan and Castilian) and Italian descent. She has eight older half-siblings from her father's previous marriage. Shakira's father is originally from the United States, born in New York City, at the age of 5 his family moved to Sincelejo from New York City then relocated to Barranquilla.

Shakira

Shakira spent much of her youth in Barranquilla, a city located in northern Colombia. Shakira wrote her first poem, entitled "La Rosa De Cristal" ("The Crystal Rose") when she was only four years old. As she was growing up, she was fascinated watching her father writing stories on a typewriter, and asked for one as a Christmas gift. She got her wish at age seven and continued writing poetry. These poems eventually evolved into songs. At the age of two, an older half-brother was killed in a motorcycle accident and at the age of eight, Shakira wrote her first song entitled "Tus gafas oscuras" ("Your dark glasses") which was inspired by her father, who for years wore dark glasses, to hide his grief. When Shakira was four, her father took her to a local Middle Eastern restaurant, where Shakira first heard the doumbek, a traditional drum used in Arabic music and which typically accompanied belly dancing. Before she knew it, Shakira was dancing on the table, she then knew she wanted to be a performer. She enjoyed singing for schoolmates and teachers (and even the nuns) at her Catholic school, but in the second grade was rejected for the school choir because her vibrato was too strong. The music teacher told her that she sounded "like a goat". At school, she says she had been known as "the belly dancer girl", as she would demonstrate every Friday at school a number she had learned. "That's how I discovered my passion for live performance," she says.

When she was eight, Shakira's father declared bankruptcy. While the details were sorted out, she stayed with relatives in Los Angeles. On returning to Barranquilla, she was shocked to find that much of what her parents owned had been sold; as she later said "In my childish head, this was the end of the world." To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park to see orphans who lived there. The images stayed with her and she said to herself "one day I’m going to help these kids when I become a famous artist." Between the ages of ten and thirteen Shakira was invited to various events in Barranquilla and gained some recognition in the area. It was at about this time that she met local theater producer Monica Ariza, who was impressed with her and as a result tried to help her career. During a flight from Barranquilla to Bogotá, Ariza convinced Sony Colombia executive Ciro Vargas to hold an audition for Shakira in a hotel lobby. Vargas held Shakira in high regard and, returning to the Sony office, gave the cassette to a song and artist director. However, the director was not overly excited and thought Shakira was something of "a lost cause". Vargas, not daunted, was still convinced that Shakira had talent, and set up an audition in Bogotá. He arranged for Sony Colombia executives to arrive at the audition, with the idea of surprising them with Shakira's performance. She performed three songs for the executives and impressed them enough for her to be signed to record three albums.

Career beginnings
Shakira's debut album, Magia, was recorded with Sony Music Columbia in 1990 when she was only thirteen years old. The songs are a collection made by her since she was 8, mixed pop-rock ballads and disco uptempo songs with electronic accompaniment, however it was hampered by a lack of recording and production cohesion. The album was released in June 1991 and featured "Magia" and three other singles. Though it fared well on Colombian radio and gave the young Shakira much exposure, the album did not fare well commercially as only 1,200 copies were sold worldwide. After the poor performance of Magia, Shakira's label urged her to return to the studio to release a follow-up record. Although little known outside of her native Colombia, Shakira was invited to perform at Chile's Viña del Mar International Song Festival in February 1993. The festival gave aspiring Latin American singers a chance to perform their songs, and the winner was then chosen by a panel of judges. Shakira performed the ballad "Eres" ("You Are") and won the trophy for third place. One of the judges who voted for her to win was then 20-year-old Ricky Martin.

Shakira

Shakira's second studio album Peligro was released in March, but Shakira was not pleased with the final result, mainly taking issue with the production. The album was better received than Magia, though it was also considered a commercial failure due to Shakira's refusal to advertise it. Shakira then decided to take a hiatus from recording so that she could graduate from high school. In the same year, Shakira starred in the Colombian TV Series "The Oasis", loosely based on the Armero tragedy in 1985. Since then, the albums have been pulled from release and are not considered official Shakira albums but rather promotional albums.

Present career: She Wolf and Sale el Sol
During an online chat with her fans in El Heraldo in February 2008, Shakira revealed that work on her sixth studio album was about to begin. Furthermore, at Shakira's cousin Isa Mebarak's album release party in Colombia, Shakira's father William Mebarak stated that Shakira was currently at work writing and producing new songs for her upcoming album. This was being done in "her own studio", which many fans thought to mean the studio at her home in the Bahamas. Shakira recorded 2005's Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and 2006's Oral Fixation Vol. 2 there as well.

After spending two weeks in London, Shakira flew to Colombia for a peace-promoting concert in Leticia (at the three way border of Colombia, Peru and Brazil) with Carlos Vives. Followed by hundreds of thousands of fellow Colombians, Shakira was calling for the release of hostages being held by rebels in Colombia and an end to similar kidnappings in the region. Afterward, it was reported by Noticias Caracol in Colombia that Shakira returned to her home studio in the Bahamas and continued recording "a little something" with members of Vives' band. It was later confirmed that Shakira was working with the likes of RedOne, Wyclef Jean and Luis F. Ochoa on her sixth studio album. RedOne later stated that Shakira was in "an experimental phase" and that she had been working on the album in Los Angeles, Miami, Vancouver, London, Uruguay and the Bahamas.

In early 2008, Forbes named Shakira the fourth top-earning female artist in music industry. Then, in July 2008, Shakira signed a 10-year contract with Live Nation, an international touring giant. The touring group also doubles as a record label which promotes but does control the music their artists release. Regarding Shakira's contract, Jason Garner, the global music chief of Live Nation stated that: "Shakira is one of the few truly global artists. She can sell music and tickets in nearly every corner of the globe." Neither Shakira's representatives nor Live Nation would confirm the value of the deal, but people close to the negotiations said that depending on Shakira's performance over the 10 years, it is likely to be worth between $70 million and $100 million. Shakira's contract with Epic Records calls for three more albums as well – one in English, one in Spanish, and a compilation, but the touring and other rights of the Live Nation deal were confirmed to begin immediately.

Shakira

"She Wolf", the lead single from Shakira's sixth studio album, premiered on July 13, 2009. Shakira wrote and produced the song with John Hill, and Sam Endicott (lead singer and songwriter of The Bravery). The Spanish version, titled "Loba", premiered on the same day as well. "She Wolf" and "Loba" then became available for digital download the following day. The video for "She Wolf" premiered on MTV on July 30, 2009. The single was successful worldwide, reaching number one in Latin America, number two in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Estonia and Spain, number three in Switzerland and Austria, number four in the UK, France and Greece, number five in Canada and Belgium, number six in Finland, number nine in Japan, and number eleven in the US.

Also in July 2009, Shakira's official website announced that "The full album is She Wolf due out in October 2009 from Epic" and it "features a predominantly English track list". The site also announced that a Spanish album will be released in 2010. She Wolf was released in October 2009 internationally and on November 23, 2009 in the U.S. The album received mainly positive reviews from critics, but only managed to sell 89,000 copies in its first week in the U.S., earning the number fifteen spot on the Billboard 200. It has gone on to sell only 300,000 records in the U.S., becoming her least successful album there. However, the album has been moderately successful worldwide, having been certified Gold in Russia, Ireland, Switzerland, Poland, France, Argentina, Greece, and Hungary, Platinum in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East, 2x Platinum in Colombia and Mexico, and 3x Platinum in Taiwan. To date the album has sold 1.5 million copies worldwide, becoming Shakira's least successful studio album to date in terms of sales.

The album's second single, "Did It Again", was released in October 2009 and was originally due for a U.S. release, though this was later canceled. The single reached the top 40 in most countries worldwide. "Give It Up To Me", featuring Lil Wayne was released as the album's second U.S. single in November 2009 and reached the top 40 in Canada and on the Hot 100. The album's U.S. release was delayed in order for Shakira to record the song, which was originally due to be featured on its producer Timbaland's album, Timbaland Presents Shock Value II and would have featured Shakira. However, she chose to record it for her album with Timbaland's rap verse being scrapped in favor of a verse from Flo Rida. Plans for the single changed again when Lil Wayne requested to be featured on the song, with this later happening. The album's third and final single, "Gypsy", was released in February 2010 and reached the top 40 in Europe but failed to reach the top 40 in the U.S. or in South America, becoming a mildly successful single. In May 2010, it was confirmed through Shakira's official website that she will embark on a global tour. The site announced that the tour will begin in North America in September 2010. The post also announced the first three confirmed dates and stated that additional dates will be announced soon, adding that "The tour will bring Shakira's spectacular show to top arenas and a host of additional cities throughout the summer and fall". It was initially announced that Shakira would release a Spanish album in 2010 after the release of She Wolf, similar to what she did with Oral Fixation, but Shakira later stated that the album would instead be a bilingual project, which will contain Spanish and English songs. She also stated that it was due for a September 2010 release. Shakira collaborated with the South African group Freshlyground to create the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", which is based on a traditional Cameroonian soldiers' Fang song named "Zangalewa" by the group Zangalewa or Golden Sounds. The song was made popular in her native Colombia in 1987 through west African DJs in Colombia. The single later reached the top 20 in Europe, South America and Africa and the top 40 in the U.S. and was performed by Shakira at the World Cup kick-off and closing. Sale el Sol has been released as Shakira's seventh studio album on October 19, 2010. In June 2010, during an interview with Billboard magazine, Shakira announced that her new album would be released in September. She stated in the magazine that "I see it as having two currents," she stated. "One is a lot about love and love experiences and emotions. And the other side of it is very joyful, and upbeat." Shakira also revealed that the music on the album would reflect influences from both the Dominican Republic and Colombia. "It’s a little more Latin on one side and a little more rock ‘n roll on the other side," she stated. She later compared her new material to the Oral Fixation era's music, stating that she was "going back to basics" for the record. The lead single "Loca", her version of the song "Loca con su tiguere" from El Cata, was number one in many countries. She shot the video for "Loca" in Barcelona in August,. Shakira unveiled the official album cover on September 1. The album debuted at 7 on Billboard 200 in its first week, and at the top spot on the Billboard Top Latin Albums. On December 6, 2010 Sony Music announced that the album had sold over 1 million copies worldwide in 6 weeks, and over 2 million since its release.

Shakira

Shakira embarked on The Sun Comes Out World Tour, from September 2010 to October 2011, in support of her two most recent albums. The tour visited countries in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa with 107 shows in total. The tour was met with positive reactions from critics, who praised Shakira's stage presence and energy during her performances. The tour has been broadcasted numerous times around the world, with her June 13 and June 14, 2011 concerts at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy being recorded for the live album Shakira: Live from Paris, set to be released worldwide on December 6, 2011. On November 9, 2011, Shakira was honored as Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year and performed a salsa song "En Barranquilla Me Quedo" at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Lady from New Zealand wants your tattoo on her bottom

A Lower Hutt woman says she has no nerves about a stranger paying to pick what she gets tattooed on her bottom. The Trade Me auction "YOUR tattoo on my Bum!!", listed by Tina Beznec, says the winner can get anything tattooed on her posterior for posterity.

"You might think I am crazy for doing this! But yes, the winner of the auction gets ANYTHING they like tattooed on my bum!" The 9 x 9 centimetre spot on either cheek could be used for a marriage proposal, business promotion or just "awesomeness", she said.

Twenty per cent of the winning bid would go to a charity of the bidder's choice and Tina would keep the rest. "I deserve it, I have been made redundant twice over the past year," she said in the listing. The auction runs until Friday, January 20.

Tina, 23, said she had decided on the stunt because she was in debt, planning on travelling to Australia in March and it was for a good cause. A framed photo of the completed design would be sent to the winner, who could watch it being done if they lived nearby.

Currently I already have five tattoos in my body. If money is I can, I plan to travel to Australia to see Mom

Gwen Stefani Hairstyle

2012-01-09T07:53:00.000-08:00

Gwen Stefani's cool 'do may look complicated, but it's deceptively simple to recreate. To begin, smooth hair and draw into a loose ponytail somewhere along the front hairline and off to one side and allow any shorter strands to fall out. Next, loosely twist the ponytail and wrap it around its base once and insert bobby pins around the perimeter. Then, take the end of the ponytail that hasn't been secured with pins and loop it under so the hair forms a vertical 'o' shape. Pin the loop in place using more bobby pins and mist the whole 'do with plenty of hairspray.

Fall, Winter 2012 hairstyles

Fall and Winter 2012 hairstyles are all about independence and comfort. The year was full of various bobs and other extremely short cuts but in the fall, long hair is going to outdo the bob. Long hair is always sexy, no matter whether it’s in or out of style, and this fall it’s back and hotter than ever.

Winter 2012 sleek straight with bangs

Sleek and straight is going to be a great look for this fall and winter. This is a very simple look to get and you don’t necessarily have to go to the stylist. Part your hair in the middle and use a flat iron from the roots to the tip. Add styling gel if you need to keep things under control. Your hair will be sleek and you can use a silicone gel to add the shine if needed but remember you need to condition because you are using heat for this style. If you want bangs, cut them in a fringe or sweep them to the side. Or you can choose to grow your bangs the same length as the rest of your hair. Either way, you’ll look great day or night with this look.

Winter 2012 Long Curly Hairstyle

Waves are going to be great this fall and winter. A wavy hairstyle is easy to maintain and you can get this look easily. Anyone can wear waves and look great. Just use a large curling iron or hot rollers and curl your hair. Let fall around your face then use your fingers to loosen curls into the waves you want. Try a lot of styles and when you’re tired of it, a flat iron will take them out.

Treny Hairstyle for Winter 2012

Natural hair is also going to be a great way to wear your hair this fall. Instead of trying to get anyone else’s look, just be you. Wear your naturally straight, curly, wavy, or even kinky hair with pride and in a style that you love. It’s always fashionable to be you.

The main tendency of the next season is long hair. It would be better to say that long beautiful, healthy and shining hair is the trend! Naturalness is in fashion as well. Let's see what hairstyles fashion stylists suggest us.

Long Layered Hairstyle

Soft chestnut tones gently blend to the deep brown tones in this layered style. The long bang is softened by razor texturing, and the inner perimeter increases the dramatic taper of the length from top and crown to the ends. The haircut is made for fullness, with lift at the roots, but an emphasis on smooth volume.

Big Curls

The vamp style returned! This long, volume, large wave and big curl speaks for itself. This hairstyle makes us think of Anita Ekberg, Brigitte Bardot and other movie stars who dared to be sexy and did not hold anything back. It’s time to get those flaring strapless dresses out of the closet again and pump up the volume – looks perfect in a golden blonde!

25 cm of creative disorder.

The fringe area is deep. The color is multi-tonal with a rich warm color that blends into a deeper nut brown.?

Long and Curly

On the long base, the hair is lightened by successive layering and by point cutting the ends for maximum lightness. The slightly rounded bang of hair gives style to the haircut. The curling iron is used non-uniformly on the naturally dried hair.

Softly Styled and Free-flowing

Here is a long-layered haircut with a satiny finish to the soft waves that frame the face. The long bang brushes the nose and sweeps across to create the big curve that doubles back on the sides to accentuate the chee. The colour is a soft fawn-like beige-blonde with a few subtle highlights. The hair is parted to the left side with a forward-aimed invisible parting.

Voluminous Haircut

One day nice, the next day mischievous. With a good base cut you can have it all. A Z-partition and light teasing at the roots bring out this voluminous style. The fringe is long, the lower third of the hair is layered just enough to take off some weight and create wispy ends. Blow dry over the head, tease, ruffle and fixate it with a dose of shine adding hairspray.

Men's long hairstyles are getting more popular and with the increase in popularity comes a higher demand for hairstyles that fit the look and the workplace. For more hair choices for men you can use a guide to make the best decision.

Pushed into the spotlight by the popularity of Sarah Palin (or notoriety of Tina Fey), long hairstyles are making a big comeback!

Long hairstyles have long been a favorite of the young-at-heart as well the jet-set and glamour girls. Whether curly or straight or layered into a shag haircut, long hairstyles exude confidence and up-to-date style. Let's look at several latest trends for the best look with long hair.

Long hairstyles are coming back - fast! They are sophisticated and can give you great versatility and fashion options. Curly or straight, thick or thin, long hair can be beautiful and right for any occasion or personality.

So you've wanted different long hairstyles since way back in the day when your mom made you sport the pixie cut every year until you were thirteen? Well, you're in luck. Long hairstyles are very in this year for any hair type, from straight to curly and even thin to thick. When you sport long hairstyles, it's important to keep it up and looking and feeling healthy.

Most importantly with long hairstyles, you have to prevent breakage which can cause fly-aways and unsightly layers that you didn't want to begin with. This process is whatever you make it; a few simple changes to your habits can make it an easy and fun process.

First step to preventing hair breakage is conditioning. When you condition your hair, try and find a strengthening shampoo and conditioner set, which many different brands offer. With long hairstyles you have to leave your conditioner on for at least 60 seconds, this way the conditioner really gets to the roots and scalp keeping your hair soft and healthy.

It is also important, especially with long hair since most people with long hairstyles become so tempted to throw their hair up with a ponytail holder, that you only use holders with no metal. You can find these in the hair care section at most any store, even the dollar store! Just make sure to never use the ponytail holders with the little metal part on them; it can rip your hair out causing more unsightly breakage.

Long hairstyles can be confusing with thick or curly hair, it can tend to look a little like a pyramid, and that's not something most people want. If you have thick or curly hair and thing long hairstyles are something you're interested in, talk to your hair stylist about layers. Layers can help prevent your hair from having that pyramid look and can add depth to your hair.

Long hairstyles will always look fabulous with any style. You can do so many things with longer locks, from curling to putting it up in a stylish up do. There are plenty of trendy looks that never seem to fail. Long hair can fundamentally go with any face type. Take some time to find the perfect long hairstyle for your face and skin tone. Whether the look you have is straight or curly, you can always find something that fits your personality.

For women, hair is considered to be something that can define their personality. Having long and shiny hair would reflect luxury and sophistication. This is the reason why women prefer to have long, thick and textured hair. In addition to this, there are long hairstyles that can actually enhance the beauty of the hair. Long hairstyles for women are perfect for different occasions like dinner, events and wedding. Women love this so they can enhance their look making it more appealing than ever. Before long hairstyles are for women but today men are now opting to have them rather than having a short cut.

There are many different long hairstyles for those with long hair, whether it is crimpy, curly, or stick straight. Having long hair is great, because it is very versatile and can be styled into many different ways. All different hair colors look great when they are long, because they can be formed into specific hairstyles that will complement the color. No matter what type of hair you have, you can style your long hair into many beautiful looks.

Flowing long hairstyles is the hot trend for 2010. It is so gorgeously feminine that it is considered to be one of the hottest styles of the year. So the idea is to just let it flow - whether you have a naturally voluminous or straight and sleek hair. Thick long hair with waves will sizzle; and if you want to get the kind of volume and wave that this hairstyle is all about, use very large curlers. Don't forget, though that you want waves, not curls. The waves you're looking for are very much like the kind you get if you braid your hair while wet. You allow it to dry and then when you remove the braid, you get perfect uniform waves.

Long hairstyles require moisture and volumizing due to the weight of the hair leaving it flat and lifeless. Light-weight volume can be infused into the follicle shaft offering "just enough" volume without giving-up up control or style.
