The FEBRUARY'11 Soundtrack! Οι σκέψεις ενός τρελού!

Καλησπέρα boys and girls!!!

Δεν άργησα στο μηνιαίο ραντεβού ε? Πάντα Άγγλος, και λογικό μιας και σπούδασα Αγγλική φιλολογία :-)

Το ξέρω ότι είναι δύσκολες οι μέρες που περνάμε και αυτές που έρχονται, όμως παιδιά, και χωρίς να το παίζω έξυπνος, μην αφήσετε τη μαυρίλα να νικήσει όταν υπάρχουν τόσα χρώματα!

Ανεργία, αφραγκίες, αγαμίες, χωρισμοί, επανασυνδέσεις, ψυχολογικά, γρίπες κλπ, όλα μέσα στο παιχνίδι είναι. Προσπαθείστε να κάνετε χαρούμενες σκέψεις, σκεφτείτε κάποιον που σας αγαπάει, ένα γεγονός που σας έκανε να γελάσετε, πολλές φορές είμαστε τυχεροί χωρίς να το ξέρουμε.

Σοφός δεν είμαι, όμως κάθε φορά που "μπαίνει" το μαύρο μέσα μου στρέφω το βλέμμα στα ανοιχτά και κλειστά φώτα του νοσοκομείου "Υγεία" απέναντι από το σπίτι μου και σκέφτομαι πόσο μα πόσο μαλάκας είμαι που σκέφτομαι βλακείες, όταν υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που αγωνίζονται να ζήσουν ή περνούν δύσκολα.

Επίσης κάτι πολύ πολύ σημαντικό για να κλείσω...επιτέλους τελείωσε το Big Brother και ξεβρωμίσαμε!!!! :-))

Σκάσατε κάνα χαμόγελο ή τσάμπα τα λέω? Δεν πειράζει, τουλάχιστον τα έβγαλα από μέσα μου!!! Happy thoughts guys!!!!

BRUNO MARS: Χαίρομαι πολύ για την τεράστια επιτυχία του Bruno Mars, μιας και τον θεωρώ από τα μεγαλύτερα ταλέντα και φωνές που έχουν βγει την τελευταία δεκαετία, και με το debut album του “Doo-wops and hooligans” να’χει πάρει τις καλύτερες κριτικές. Το δεύτερο επίσημο singleGrenade” πήγε #1 σε Αγγλία και Αμερική, κι έπεται συνέχεια! Στο internet υπάρχουν δυο fan made συλλογές με ακυκλοφόρητα κομμάτια του, “Don’t say no” και “Just say yes”, ενώ σε λίγες μέρες κυκλοφορεί κι επίσημα μια συλλογή με 9 ακυκλοφόρητα κομμάτια του με τίτλο “Earth to Mars”! Welcome to our music lives Bruno!

LADY GAGA: Την πρωτοχρονιά η Lady GaGa ανακοίνωσε ότι στις 13/2 θα κυκλοφορήσει και θα παρουσιάσει το νέο της single στα βραβεία Grammy, ενώ στις 23/5 θα έχουμε το πολυαναμενόμενο νέο album Born this way” (σα να αργεί λίγο ή μου φαίνεται?)! Πάντως το δείγμα από ένα κομμάτι του album με τίτλο «Scheiße» που ακούσαμε σε ένα απίθανο φουτουριστικό remix σε μια επίδειξη μόδας του Παρισιού μας κάνει να ανυπομονούμε!

ΝΙΚΟΣ ΓΚΑΝΟΣ (NICKO): Με την super εμφάνισή του στο X Factor, την σκηνική του παρουσία και τα τραγούδια του, έδειξε κι απέδειξε πόσο ταλαντούχους νέους καλλιτέχνες έχουμε στην Ελλάδα.

MINUS

ΕΛΛΗ ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟΥ: Το Greek Idol το βρίσκω εντελώς βήτα σαν παιχνίδι, επιτροπή, διαγωνιζόμενους κλπ. Απλά μια ένσταση, πώς είναι δυνατόν η Έλλη Κοκκίνου να κρίνει άλλους τραγουδιστές όταν η ίδια δεν μπορεί να τραγουδήσει καλά-καλά?

ROBYN/ MARINA & THE DIAMONDS: Είναι δυνατόν η Robyn και το υποτιθέμενο next best thing Marina & the Diamonds να κάνουν support στις συναυλίες της Katy Perry? Το βρίσκω απλά τραγικό! Η μεν Robyn έχει ταράξει τα νερά με την τόσο καλή pop που κάνει και τα τραγούδια της κάνουν τα dancefloors να τρίζουν, και η Katy Perry είναι μια pop τσιχλόφουσκα χωρίς ταλέντο. Κανονικά θα έπρεπε να τους καθαρίζει την σκηνή.

ΝΙΝΙ (X FACTOR 2): Μετά την «τεράστια» επιτυχία της super cheesy διασκευής του υπέροχου “ Inassenza di te” της Laura Pausini με τον εμπνευσμένο τίτλο «Ενωμένοι εμείς οι δυο», η Νίνι του Χ Factor 2 επιστρέφει με μια ακόμα νέα «εκτέλεση» αγαπημένου ιταλικού τραγουδιού. Αυτή τη φορά «θύμα» έπεσε το “Mi sei venuto a cercare tu” της Alessandra Amoroso κι έγινε «Ακόμα σ’αγαπώ». Εκτός του ότι η ερμηνεία είναι άθλια, περιμένει κανείς να κάνει επιτυχία με τέτοια?

DREW BARRYMORE PROFILE

Drew Barrymore (actress). Drew Blythe Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975, in Los Angeles,California. The daughter of actor John Drew Barrymore Jr. and Ildiko Jaid, Barrymore's great-grandparents were actors Maurice Barrymore and Georgiana Drew, and her grandparents were actors John Barrymore and Dolores Costello. The director Steven Spielberg is her godfather.

Barrymore, a talented young actress, has been as well known for her wild antics off-screen as for her acting ability. Ildiko Jaid, estranged from husband John Barrymore Jr., began taking her daughter to auditions as a baby. The youngest Barrymore appeared in her first television commercial for Puppy Choice dog food before she was a year old.

She made her big screen debut at the age of four in Ken Russell's Altered States (1980). At the age of seven, Barrymore landed her most famous role as Gertie, the adorable little sister in E.T.: The Extraterrestrial (1982). The role pushed Barrymore into the spotlight. After the movie she appeared on NBC's The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and became the youngest-ever host of Saturday Night Live.

Jaid began taking her daughter to night clubs, and it was at Studio 54 and the China Club that Barrymore developed a pre-teenage fondness for drugs and alcohol. At age 13, an enraged Barrymore became violent when she was unable to throw her mother out of the house. She was placed in a rehabilitation center, and later wrote of the experience in her autobiography, Little Girl Lost.

Because of her reputation as a wild child in trouble, film projects were slow to materialize. Barrymore made some minor films, including Irreconcilable Differences, Firestarter and Cat's Eye. In the 1990s, she began starring in a series of films that exploited her bad-girl image, including Poison Ivy (1992), Guncrazy (1992), and The Amy Fisher Story (1993), a made-for-TV movie based on the Joey Buttafuoco scandal.

Barrymore entered into a short-lived marriage to bar owner Jeremy Thomas at age 19, which lasted from March to May of 1994. She continued her controversial behavior throughout the early 1990s by posing nude for spreads in Andy Warhol's Interview and in Playboy. She also made headlines when she exposed herself on live TV to a shocked David Letterman during his Late Night show birthday celebration.

Her luck began to change in 1995, when Barrymore founded her own production company, Flower Films. The same year, she gave a solid performance in the film Boys on the Side co-starring Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker. The next year she made a memorable terror-filled appearance in the blockbuster Scream (1996) and co-starred in Woody Allen's musical Everybody Says I Love You (1996).

In 1998, she proved her strength as a romantic leading lady when she co-starred in the popular comedy, The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler and in Ever After, a version of the Cinderella story co-starring Anjelica Huston.



In 1999, she earned her first credit as an executive producer with the likable comedy Never Been Kissed, in which she also starred. The next year, she also produced and starred in the hit film Charlie's Angels, playing alongside Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Bill Murray. The movie became a blockbuster hit, bringing in more than $40 million in its opening weekend.

Charlie's Angels signaled the beginning of true financial success for Flower Films. Barrymore's next choice for the company was the dark drama, Donnie Darko, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The film, in which Barrymore also co-starred, became an instant cult classic and was nominated for more than a dozen independent film awards.

In 2002, Barrymore appeared as the love interest of Chuck Barris in the critically acclaimed biopic, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, also starring Sam Rockwell. Through this performance, Barrymore's reputation as a legitimate film actress was finally solidified.

Barrymore brought back her successful Charlie's Angels franchise in 2003 with Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. This time, she also brought actress Demi Moore and comedian Bernie Mac onboard. The film was another box-office smash. That same year Flower Films also released the comedy Duplex, in which Barrymore starred with Ben Stiller.

The next year, Barrymore starred in another Flower Films movie, 50 First Dates, a romantic comedy co-starring Adam Sandler. She also earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Flower Films—and Barrymore— kept busy the next few years, producing such films as Fever Pitch (2005), Music and Lyrics (2007) and the recent box office hit, He's Just Not That Into You (2009). Barrymore is reportedly in talks to direct the third movie in the Twilight film series, Eclipse.

Barrymore's other recent acting projects include Lucky You (2007), Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008), and the biopic Grey Gardens (2009) co-starring Jessica Lange.

In addition to acting, Barrymore has a successful career as a model, becoming the face of CoverGirl Cosmetics and Gucci Jewelry in 2007. That same year, she was listed No. 1 in People magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People list.

After her marriage with Thomas ended in 1994, Barrymore has had a string of romantic relationships. In 2000, she became engaged to the eccentric Canadian comic Tom Green, of MTV's The Tom Green Show. After many false wedding rumors (some started by Green himself), the pair eloped in March 2001. The couple filed for divorce six months later. Since then, she has been linked to Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti and actor Justin Long. Barrymore and Long split in 2008.

HOSNI MUBARAK PROFILE


Biography
Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak (Arabic: محمد حسني سيد مبارك‎ Muḥammad Ḥusnī Sayyid Mubārak; commonly known as Hosni Mubarak; Arabic: حسني مبارك‎; transliterated: Ḥusnī Mubārak); (born 4 May 1928) is the fourth and current President of the Arab Republic of Egypt. He was appointed Vice President in 1975, and assumed the Presidency on 14 October 1981, following the assassination of President Anwar El-Sadat. He is the longest-serving Egyptian ruler since Muhammad Ali Pasha. Before he entered politics Mubarak was a career officer in the Egyptian Air Force, serving as its commander from 1972 to 1975. As of 30 January 2011, Mubarak is struggling to contain a popular uprising against his rule

Few expected that the little-known vice-president who was elevated to the presidency in the wake of Anwar Sadat's 1981 assassination would hold on to the country's top job for so long.

Mr Sadat was assassinated by Islamic radicals at a military parade in Cairo, and Mr Mubarak was lucky to escape the shots as he sat next to him.

Since then, he has survived at least six assassination attempts - the narrowest escape shortly after his arrival in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, in 1995 to attend an African summit, when his limousine came under attack.

Besides his knack for dodging bullets, the former Air Force commander has also managed to keep a hold on power for three decades, positioning himself as a trusted Western ally and fighting off a powerful opposition movement at home.

But with his regional clout waning, his health failing, and his succession unclear, many question how long Mr Mubarak will be able to carry on.

Early life

Born in 1928 in a small village at Menofya province near Cairo, he insists on keeping his private life out of the public domain.

Married to a half-British graduate of the American University in Cairo, Suzanne Mubarak, and with two sons, Gamal and Alaa, the Egyptian president is known to lead a strict life with a fixed daily schedule that starts at 0600.

Never a smoker or a drinker, he has built himself a reputation as a fit man who leads a healthy life.

In his younger days, close associates often complained of the president's schedule, which began with a work-out in the gym or a game of squash.

Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak was sworn in on 14 October 1981, eight days after the Sadat assassination.

Despite having little popular appeal or international profile at the time, the burly military man has used his sponsorship of the issue behind Sadat's killing - peace with Israel - to build up his reputation as an international statesman.

Emergency rule

In effect, Hosni Mubarak has ruled as a quasi-military leader since he took power.

For his entire period in office, he has kept the country under emergency law, giving the state sweeping powers of arrest and curbing basic freedoms.

The government argues the draconian regime has been necessary to combat Islamist terrorism, which has come in waves during the decades of Mr Mubarak's rule - often targeting Egypt's lucrative tourism sector.

He has presided over a period of domestic stability and economic development that means most of his fellow countrymen have accepted his monopolisation of power in Egypt.

Hosni Mubarak in Cairo, 19 October
Hosni Mubarak is one of the world's longest-serving presidents

In recent years, Mr Mubarak has felt for the first time the pressure to encourage democracy, both from within Egypt, and from his most powerful ally, the United States.

But many supporters of reform doubt the veteran ruler's sincerity when he says he is all for opening the political process.

Mr Mubarak has won three elections unopposed since 1981, but for his fourth contest in 2005 - after a firm push from the US - he changed the system to allow rival candidates.

Critics say the election was heavily weighted in favour of Mr Mubarak and the National Democratic Party (NDP). They accuse the Egyptian leader of presiding over a sustained campaign of suppressing opposition groups, most notably the Muslim Brotherhood.

There are indications from the NDP that the octogenarian plans to stand again in elections slated for later this year.

The length of time he has been president, along with his age and who will succeed him, are all sensitive subjects in Egypt.

People around Mr Mubarak say his health and vigour belie his age - although a couple of recent health scares have been a reminder of his mortality.

Rumours about the president's health gathered pace when he travelled to Germany in March 2010 for gall bladder surgery. They flare every time he misses a key gathering or disappears from the media spotlight for any conspicuous length of time.

However much Egyptian officials try to deny them, they keep circulating, with reports in the Israeli and pan-Arab media.

It's not hard to see why. Mr Mubarak has not named a vice-president. So there is no obvious successor.

Gamal Mubarak 2010
Hosni Mubarak has never commented on his son's presidential potential

The fear among opposition groups is that his son, 40-year-old former investment banker Gamal Mubarak, is being groomed for a kind of dynastic inheritance dressed up as a democratic transition.

Gamal insists he has no ambition to be president, but he has been moving steadily up the ranks of the NDP, becoming a leading advocate of economic and political reform.

Historians point out that every president since the revolution of 1952 has come from the military, and Gamal's civilian credentials may give him trouble in gaining the support of that important constituency.

But decisions will have to be taken before elections at the end of the year.

In the past, Mr Mubarak has said he will continue to serve Egypt until his last breath.

But even if he is not suffering any specific illness, questions will be asked over whether someone who will then be 83 years old is sprightly enough for the rigours of ruling this huge, challenging country, at a time when multiple regional crises are brewing.|source|

Angela Merkel Profile


Angela Merkel is the present Chancellor of Germany, claiming the distinction to be the first German female to attain the position. Along with that, she is also credited with being the youngest person to be German chancellor since the Second World War.

She was born to Horst Kasner, a Lutheran pastor and his wife, Herlind), a teacher of English and Latin and a member of the ‘Social Democratic Party of Germany’. Angela is the eldest of the three siblings, the other two being Marcus and Irene. Her family moved to Templin, after Horst was made a pastor at the church in Quitzow, near Perleberg, Brandenburg. Thus, she spent majority of her childhood in the countryside, north of Berlin.
Angela Merkel was a member of the official, socialist-led youth movement Free German Youth (FDJ). Thereafter, she also became a member of the district board and secretary for "Agitprop" (agitation and propaganda), at the Academy of Sciences. Even though she was brought up in socialist German Democratic Republic, she never became a participant in the secular coming of age ceremony, Jugendweihe. Rather, she received confirmation.

Early Life
Angela Merkel studied physics in Templin and at the University of Leipzig, from 1973 to 1978. For the next two years, from 1978 to 1990, she worked and studied at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences, in Berlin-Adlershof.

Angela was elected to the Bundestag, from a constituency including Nordvorpommern district, Rügen district and the city of Stralsund, in December 1990 and it continued to be her electoral district till today.
She became Minister for Women and Youth in Helmut Kohl's 3rd cabinet, after her party’s merger with West German CDU. In 1994, she was made Minister for the Environment and Reactor Safety, the post which served as foundation of her political career. With the defeat of the Kohl government, in the 1998 general election, Merkel was made the Secretary-General of the CDU. A financial scandal rocked her party in 1999, after which she advocated a fresh start without her mentor, Kohl, and was elected to become the first female chairperson of the party.

Leader of Opposition
The defeat of Stoiber (leader of Bavarian Christian Social Union or CSU, CDU’s sister party) in 2002 led to her to becoming the ‘Leader of the Conservative Opposition’, in Bundestag, the lower house of the German Parliament. During this time, she supported reform agenda relating to Germany's economic and social system, along with changes to German labor law. She even advocated for slower phasing out of Germany's nuclear power, apart from a strong transatlantic partnership and German-American friendship. The support of ‘Iraq-invasion’ and ‘privileged partnership’ to Turkey in EU were some of her other policies.

He has been cast to play Superman in the 2012 film Superman: Man of Steel.


Early life

His mother, Marianne, worked in a bank, and his father, Colin Cavill, was a stockbroker.He was educated at St. Michael's Preparatory School in Saint Saviour, Jersey before attending Stowe School,a boarding school in Buckinghamshire, England.

Henry was also the cause of a write-in effort of fans to see him cast as Cedric in the 2005 Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The role went to Robert Pattinson. Cavill also auditioned for the role of Superman in Superman: Flyby and was attached to the film under McG's direction. However, when McG pulled out, Bryan Singer took over the project and cast Brandon Routh as the lead role in the retitled Superman Returns.In 2005, he became a contender for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale, and performed in a final screentest. The producers and director were torn between Cavill, Daniel Craig, and Sam Worthington. Apparently the director favoured Cavill as a younger version of Bond. However, the producers believed Cavill was too young for the role, which then went to Craig.In the December 2005 edition of Empire Magazine, he was dubbed "the most unlucky man in Hollywood".

Cavill then landed a leading role in the Showtime series The Tudors (2007), playing the historical character of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk,brother-in-law to Henry VIII of England and supporter of Queen Catherine of Aragon. He also had a minor part in the fantasy film Stardust (2007). In 2007 he was featured in Vanity Fair's Hollywood's Next-Gen Men article.

During pre-production for the film adaptation of the book Twilight, author Stephenie Meyer was outspokenly in favor of Cavill to become the actor for the role of Edward Cullen. However, by the time Twilight was filmed, Henry was 24 and no longer could portray a youth of 17. Again, Robert Pattinson was cast instead of Cavill, this time in the role of Edward Cullen.

In early 2008, Cavill was featured in Dunhill fragrance advertising. The television ad features a suited up Cavill walking through the Union Jack flag, before mounting a helicopter. The second television ad features Cavill driving a car, through a deserted London at night, and meeting with a young woman.

Cavill played lead character Evan Marshall in the 2009 Joel Schumacher-directed thriller Blood Creek. He also had a minor role in the 2009 Woody Allen film Whatever Works.

Henry Cavill was cast as Theseus in a mythological special effects and big budget film entitled Immortals(2010), with some of the producers of 300 and Piranha 3-D.

Entertainment Weekly's "Must List of 2009" listed Cavill as the "Most Dashing Duke" because "As Charles Brandon on Showtime's 'The Tudors', he displays charm, depth, and a killer bod."

On January 30, 2011, it was announced that Cavill had been cast in the role of Clark Kent / Superman in director Zack Snyder's Superman: Man Of Steel.
