Academy Fashion Frontrunners



For Film or Show?

The underlying message "flix" of the brand name spoke without endorsement.

Generally, Netflix featured films for people who signed up for Internet streaming, and now pivots to showcasing old TV series. The company apprehended a deal with Starz as a volume of the movie clips shown, were in custody of station. Here, the three-year contract is at closing stage and users wonder why the programs diminished. Optimistically, the reruns of keep the company marching among millions of consumers. I find my original comedic sitcoms of the 1990s irresistible, so myself may become their new team player. My concern as far as this settlement goes is, will Netflix invoke more bonanzas to steady the altitude of clients and breakthrough the chances of shutting down?

Systems are consistently changing. 

"Minny" Garners Oscar

The room emphasized a worthy standing ovation, once Octavia Spencer beheld her golden effigy winning the Best Supporting Actress at the 84th Academy Awards, Sunday evening.

"The Help" sparkling star tried to enunciate her thank-you's during a quivering acceptance speech, but the cherishing feeling gulped down the words.

Therefore, Spencer blurted remarks she would later learn of in laughter.

"Thank You World? I said that? Yes!"

Music To My Ears.

Novice J.Cole amassed gold certification for debut album, "Cole World: The Sideline Story" under ROC Nation, and has seized my attention with the latest slithering rap over the soulful, David Ruffin sample. Once, Jay-Z's protege, the lion cub-resemble now has lashed out disses on "Grew Up Fast" with a 808 drumming jolt.

The “Work Out” rhymester elbows rappers for the switch-up alternation to authentic Hip Hop with verse, “Y’all got way too electro, damn near techno, Half way homo, Way too metro. Hennessy XO / Cole flow special / Style like Tribe Called Quest meets Death Row".

Ouch! Be EASY!

This is all well and good for publicity, but the newbie should dodge establishing beef with fellow lyricists. The nuance of music can be revised at times, without losing it's touch. On the other hand, the Grammy-nominated artist has not concluded fulfilling promo among his first LP, being that he recently filmed a video for "Nobody's Perfect" featuring the MC Missy Elliott and plans to launch a 17-city tour in April. 
However, Cole I extol your work, but find other boulevards to be artistic than chucking jabs.

She once was aglow on the catwalk for Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, then bestowed aspiring young women with likelihood to conquer new height with "America's Next Top Model (ANTM)", and now Tyra Banks catapulted towards the stars, to annex a business degree in the Owner/President Management Program at Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The delectable former model has traveled a separate avenue, not many guts could ever trail.

The picture could have been cloudy for Banks at 17 years old, after relinquishing from Loyola Marymount University, to shadow a career in modeling. Experts say procuring a Plan-B is crucial, if this industry is a primary tackle due to the thicken competition; however Tyra skyrocketed. After 6 rejections, an agency swept the hazel-eyed token and she had a collision with success.

 Tyra Banks was the first African American woman to enthrall the covers of Sports Illustrated Swim Issue and GQ, hosted 5-year run of her own daytime talk show, and the cycles of ANTM inexorably swirl.

Beauty & Brains does exist!

Ridiculing.

The world is motionless, lamenting the hasty demise of Whitney Houston.

An apposite “homegoing” ceremony occurred on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ where family and close-friends collected to remember “Nippy” in a memory she would have adored.

Kevin Costner, mentor Clive Davis, Tyler Perry, recording artist Alicia Keys, R.Kelly, close-friend Kim Burrell, The Winans family, assumed boyfriend Ray J & sister Brandy, Sparkle co-star Jordin Sparks, T.D Jakes, Rvnd. Jesse Jackson were abreast for the service, among mother Cissy, cousin Dionne Warwick, and daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Ex-husband Bobby Brown was approved to attend, but caused a ruckus when ushers inquired his children to orient to a pew further rear. He then puckered a kiss against her exquisite bronze casket, hauled out his goodbye and absconded the church. Aside from that misfortune, I can avow the memorial was heart wrenching as the singer laid to rest.

Crazy as a bed bug, an uncouth being that was enabled to view the body prior to the funeral, shamefully sold a glimpse of Whitney sleeping to the press. Seemingly, only family and some other chums were granted consent to see her one last time. The person still unidentified, surely seen dollar signs and later down the line will bear the karma for this mockery. What goes around certainly shifts right back around.

Also, two days ago at Publix checkout after grocery shopping, I turned to scrutinize the

facade of a paper magazine where a snapshot of Whitney lying lifeless swathed in a towel

inside a bathtub appeared. Instantly, my stomach was churning in disgust at the audacity of the frivolous media to illustrate her in the wrong frame. This should sustain a lawsuit!

Etta James, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson were victims of the repeated repugnant act.

RIP.

Inseparable

WELL WELL WELL…

Once the rumors transformed to reality, I was flabbergasted to understand exes Rihanna & Chris Brown assembled to record not one, but two remixes mutually. The alliance will remain a trending topic on social networks, though the planet shall thrash out this subject in abhorrence. Simply, the teamwork is a lucrative panorama, instead of an alternative to reunite as partners. The “Birthday Cake” interval off the Talk That Talk disc elongated into a song in the midst of CB’s beguiling twist, whereas RihRih sprinkled zing on “Turn Up The Music”.

LISTEN:

Birthday Cake Remix

Turn Up The Music Remix

Karrueche Tran (Brown’s present girlfriend), is a third wheel.
When comparing between the petite meatless-body-having model and cut-and-curvy physique of the superstar, whose hazel eyes elicit her idiosyncratic gorgeousness, Karrueche may as well sprint for the hills. Flip side to the musical square-off, I find the craft mesmeric and propose to exalt their artistry. Placing these unstoppable singers in the hot seat, only eggs on determination. Just envision what would follow, if the twosome ever restored at the altar.

THE REAL REVOLUTION WOULD BE TELEVISED!

Egypt Refurbish Ancient Boat

Archaeologists opted to restore an antique they uncovered, nearby the pyramids in Egypt. Above, is one of two boats, formerly buried beside Pharoah Khufu, which apparently shipped the man to his hereafter life. Khufu reportedly was a spokesman for a fused Egyptian-Japanese group of archaes.

The boat is said to be 4,500 years old and showcased at the Solar Boat Musemum.

The remains of the ship were brought from beneath the surface, close by the Great Pyramid of Gize in Egypt. This is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Once, uplifting the fragment, it was evident polluction and insects raded the vessel, however still in decent condition. Unfortunately, during the rest of their pursuit nothing of merit was bare.

Breezy Turns Things Up A Notch

Heartthrob Chris Brown filmed an effervescent visual for the first dynamic single entitled, “Turn Up The Music” off his fifth studio album, Fortune. Similar to before, this enthused track divulges the yodel (woah-ooh-woah) over a neat dance-pulsation. All the same, I affirm the body of work another lump of success stapled to his belt.

Moreover, the “Beautiful People” songster boosts his trademark, mastering proficiency in the video-directing province. Chris is liable for molding the video’s corky concept, considerably the best thus far. He bottles these astounding dance steps fluently,

bordering the King of Pop.

Watch below. Very engrossing!  

Still, the singer/songwriter receives slack for appearing and performing at the prestigious awards, due to the abuse Rihanna tolerated. My perspective of the plight, is let the man live, since he paid his debt to society and reaped mental supervision. The public will forever christen him as a “woman beater”, but it must reside in his favor to ignore ignorance and withdraw from vengeance via Twitter. Instead, Brown should integrate such aggression into carving bangers and sculpting gaudy music clips. This fixture alone ought to sneer his enemies, which is equivalent to a slap in the face.

Looking pass his skeletons, I preferably hanker for the Brown to win!
Although the Grammy for "Best R&B Album" is the “ultimate” victory!

Fact: The entertainer directed Wale's "Slight Work". 

Adele Abolishes 'Bitter Songwriting'

Adele came and conquered the Grammys, sweeping the girls off their heels when harvesting all 6 trophies. Although, the successful award ceremony was surreal for the bright star, that does not magnify an interest to dash back towards the studio. The flawless "Rolling In The Deep" singer will glorify the cover for Vogue's March 2012 edition and during her Q&A sit-down with the magazine, she became mushy when dishing the gist of her newfound love, while crediting her ex, revealed a monstrous hiatus from music, and the concluded songwriting on animosity and despair.

"I am f______ off for four or five", she told Vogue. The fact she means four or five years and not months is roughly frantic. Her break will puncture a vessel in the industry, though she plans to concentrate on the happy rapport with current beau. "If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record and be in love and be happy ... I won't come out with new music until it's better than 21." Simon Konecki is the man behind her smile, a former investment banker and now the CEO of charity Drop4Drop, which is designated to help heal the global water calamity. She explains without his guidance, overcoming the vocal chord surgery and recovery may not have been achievable.

"I'm never writing a breakup record again, by the way," she discloses in the spread. "I'm done with being a bitter witch." I find the heartbreak harmonies quite supportive, marinating my ears with thoughts and obligates my writing to be a success. Nevertheless, whatever sound Adele produces for the next album following masterpiece 21 (earned her casting(s) in Guinness Book Of World Records), will be available on my iPod listing. As for her previous companion, she praises his disobedient and ruthless behavior because she beams off his wrong-doing and has elevated to new echelons.

"But now, after some time, it only seems right that the person who so far has had the biggest impact on me – has now changed my life for f______ ever with this album, deserves a little credit." If someone does you inappropriately, my motto should come into play: "Do not blame them, thank them", because things should only ascend from there. After battling and surviving a severe operation, wiping out the Grammys, and enduring true happiness, Adele is deserving of an exuberant vacation. Relentlessly, England's birdie will be missed for a broad period, but no lack of faith inside my bones says her further comeback will not snatch wigs and lace fronts.

Last Night Festivities.

The 54^th Annual Grammys honored excellence in music, concomitantly acknowledged the absent segment of the puzzle, who has departed to be with the almighty upstairs. The essence of building showily was drowned in sorrow, grieving among the unpredictable passing of Whitney Houston. She will forever live in hearts all over the world. 

LL Cool J, his dimples(botox), and applejack did a tremendous job of hosting the packed event, looking dapper as ever. Bruce Springstein and the E Street Band opened the show, as Album Of The Year nominee, Bruno Mars channeled James Brown with his dance motion and band troop accompanying. Contemporary vocalist/pianist Alicia Keys and country-expertise Bonnie Raitt emphasized on paying homage to late Blues singer, Etta James singing "Sunday Kind of Love". Talented crooner Chris Brown walked away with his first Grammy: Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E and embarked on two fascinating performances.

Adele returned from surgery, relished everyone with a savoring piece of "Rolling In The Deep" and cleaned the plate, obtaining a whopping 6 Grammys. Adele may well sing the phonebook and chills would tickle my spine. Barbados blonde bombshell Rihanna, whom I titled “Best Dressed” of the evening, gave a delightful routine of “We Found Love” teamed with choreography, making the poppy irresistible tune come to life. Later, Chris Martin (Coldplay) linked with the singer for their partnership on “Princess of China”. The stunning Carrie Underwood and Lifetime Achievement Recipient Tony Bennett nailed their duet, while aqua-head Katy Perry was supersonic in an enclosed cage.

Whitney Houston was the benchmark for the younger generation to gaze upon for inspiration. Weight Watchers gorgeous spokeswoman and R&B songstress, Jennifer Hudson hindered tears from descending as her soaring pitch tackled “I Will Always Love You” in memory of the iconic legend. Nicki Minaj was snubbed for her nominations and humiliated herself during a repulsive debut of “Roman Holiday.” The bubbly superstar certainly showed out tonight, first by polishing the Red Carpet as Little Red Riding Hood with the Pope on her arm. Then, finished with that demonic deliverance of the exorcism mini-film, levitating from the ground, and mimicking religious chants. The producers recommended her to refrain from displaying the performance, however Nicki had the final word. She should consider a side profession, perhaps acting on Broadway. David Guetta, Lil Wayne, Deadmau5, Taylor Swift, The Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, The Beach Boys, and more graced the stage at the 2012 Grammys.
