HOLLYWOOD (The Stars for Fans) - DARREN CRISS



If you follow the series Glee, probably the name of Darren Criss may sound you, and if not, is the actor who plays Blaine, the character of the second season of the series, I'm sure that all have been much clearer. Such is the success it is having this guy and the plot he has with Kurt, we've decided to do some research to find out who is Darren Criss.


Well Darren was born 26 years ago in San Francisco, with Filipino and Irish blood in his veins. Glee is the series that has made him famous worldwide, although before had done some appearance in shows like "Cold Case" and "Eastwick". He has been "Harry Potter" in the play "A Very Potter Musical".
 
Darren, as already mentioned came out of YouTube uploading their beautiful covers of songs such as Disney. He also used to be in small places such as cafes, restaurants and bars where you used to play your music. But was overcome such a degree of stay in Broadway! Amazing no? Yes, and it really has become a great example for many people.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It really is much appreciated by the many fans that have been achieved. From whom are as a person, for her beautiful voice or physical attractiveness has captivated us all. But it is much loved because he understands the fans, because he as well was one.

 

Here we left a letter of Darren to his fans, so you understand what I mean and  have the opportunity to know him a little more.



Dearest friends-

Though my very first episode aired on TV in November of 2010, the end of this past September actually marked the two year anniversary of a phone call that really turned my life upside down: I was notified that I had been cast as a new character on the popular television series, “Glee.”

Woah.
 
By that point, some of you had maybe known me from silly youtube videos, and for even less of you- from cafes, restaurants, and bars I used to play music at. Regardless of the when or the how or the why, it’s been been a pretty incredible journey for all of us since that phone call.

Some highlights:
In April of 2010, I was getting ready to start working on what some of you might now know as A Very Potter Musical. I was a senior at the University of Michigan, and I had just read an article about the cast members from the new hit TV series “Glee” singing at the White House. I thought, “Man, that’s insane.” Well, just this past June I took a song I wrote called “Not Alone” that I used in that very same musical I was working on in college, and sang it in person for the President himself... Shortly before I got to fist-bump him.

In July of 2011, I was asked to speak on a Harry Potter-based fan panel in San Diego. I thought I was a bit under-qualified for the job, but was nonetheless excited to be asked to speak on a panel at one of my favorite summer events: Comic-Con! When I got there, I realized that we were given a rough time slot because it was the same exact time as the panel for that same hit TV show, “Glee.” I thought, “Man, this ‘Glee’ thing is really stealin’ my thunder...” Ok, well, the very next year, I couldn’t do the HP fan panel again because I was on that Glee panel.

The crazy stories go on and on, not to mention the little things like magazine covers or hitting Billboard charts, or doing a film with the likes of amazing people like Kristen Wiig, Annette Bening, Matt Dillon... Let’s see, what else, oh, getting to live my dream of doing a Broadway show, and then of course, there was getting to sing “Rainbow Connection” with Kermit the Frog... I mean, these things are unbelievable. Unbelievable. I have a pretty wild imagination, but I never thought any of that could actually happen, let alone in such a relative short period of time.

Here’s the deal- I work hard, I try to make the right decisions and do the best I can with everything I do and all that good stuff- but really, that can only go so far. There are so many contributing factors to what has happened for me that go far beyond my control... And that’s where you come in. You, the fans, have been a huge part of the reason why I’ve been able to do half the things I’ve been able to do.

We live in an unprecedented age of social connectivity, and I am happy to say that you none of you have failed to take full advantage of that. Don’t think I’m not aware of how active the fandom is, or how much impact is has. Remember: Not only am I fan myself, but I do have an internet connection. I see the gifs, I see the fanfics, I see the memes, and it’s all amazing stuff. Though I haven’t met the majority of you, it’s a real thrill to know that many of your lives have come together on behalf of mine. That’s an incredibly moving concept, and the fact that those connections have yielded so much positivity is something even more amazing.

Let’s take my own stories out of the picture for a second- you, as a group, have all accomplished some pretty amazing things yourselves. You done everything from raising money for great causes to organizing awesome flash mobs over the internet to show your support. You have shown up at the crack of dawn and stayed until you’re the last one standing. You have come together to create something far greater than any of us: a real sense of community and a genuine place of support- not just for me but for each other. And I can safely say that I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for that.

Oftentimes I meet people who challenge me, “You have no idea what you’ve done for me.” Well the truth is, it’s the other way around. I do have an idea, and a pretty good one at that. Because for whatever you may think I may be giving you, you are actually giving back to me, tenfold. And I am constantly wondering when and if it will fade, who will stick around, who will get bored- I often think about the day there won’t be anyone on the other side of the stage door... but despite myself, as time goes on, you all have never ceased to amaze me with your enthusiasm, creativity, and seemingly endless joy that continues to inspire and encourage me.

Tonight is the premiere of the dreaded break-up episode. For many Glee fans, I imagine there will more than reason to be sad. But cheer up, think of it this way: much of your support has allowed me to be on this show long enough to reach a breakup in the first place; it has created a relationship that people cared enough about whereby it was even worth writing an episode about its potential end. I never thought I would get to be around long enough for something like that. And I really have you, the fans to thank for it. It’s something to be proud of.

What’s more, I was even asked to play my own arrangement of teenage dream for this episode- an acoustic piano version which so many of you have supported since I sang it as my first song on my very first episode. I started playing this version at shows as a sort of “thank you” to the fans, for making it such a big song for both myself and the show. It was the song that started everything.

So before the episode airs tonight, I thought it was only appropriate to write a fully fledged note to all of you that could express my deep appreciation for the past two years since that crazy phone call. I hope that this is just the beginning, and that I get to thank you many more times for many more adventures as the years roll by. But for now, know that I am so very grateful for everything you’ve given me, and I am very proud of what we have accomplished together. From teenage dream to teenage dream, thank you for allowing me to live mine.

your biggest fan,
Darren





OK, who's crying? (I do) Now seriously, this is a loving gesture from someone who has a reputation of being very expressive and eloquent in interviews and in personal situations, but not using social media to talk to fandom in general. It's no secret to us, Darren Criss fans (myself included), that Darren has a real understanding of fan culture and is part of the same, which is one of the things that made him be ever so loyal and familiar.

 



 
Many celebrities never have that attitude, they never have that relationship with the fans because they not come from the fan culture. Darren Criss yes. He demonstrated more than once in every interaction with fans ,in every livestream,when in the door of the actors to the output of his show on Broadway by thanking to his fans night after night. And he showed well, putting in writing, which will create thousands and thousands of posts and reblogs on Tumblr and impressions in minutes.
 
 
So if anyone ever asks : what's up with this guy Darren Criss?, What's up with the people around him? ', What's up with those pink glasses ? Send them to read this, because it is simply not in Glee, or because he has a lovely smile or sing songs tender or kisses a cute boy on glee. It is this writing and more. Simply he is still one of 'us'.
 
 
 


HOLLYWOOD (The Stars for Fans) - LADY GAGA




Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is a singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, activist and American fashion designer.
But let's move away from what only comes out in as quick searches on Wikipedia and similar .We will focus in terms of how they see Gaga fans and in this case ... her Little Monsters.

 



Well for starters, what are the Little Monsters?
 

Well quite simply they will think that are fans of Gaga, right? Well that goes further. Be a Little Monster is not that you like Gaga, have their records or go to her concerts that are only material things. Neither makes you a Little Monster obsessing as many say that Gaga is the best artist that ever lived, it is not an obsession. Is more, there is no rule that says what you have to do.


 

Well we know that is a Little monster ... but, really know about Lady Gaga, or best of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta? We know what really lies behind those flashy, unique and scandalous costumes? Of those albums where are stay these songs so reproduced? Well, I think not, reasons why has come to be much criticized, but first we know a little and then I'll let you analyze and think what you like.

"I am the jester of the kingdom, an exhaust valve and not will judge you but will love you for who you are."
Lady Gaga



Stefani Having learned to play the piano with four years, wrote her first piano ballad with at thirteen and began participating in open mic nights at fourteen.
Gaga said that during high school she was very studious, dedicated and disciplined but was very insecure. Gaga said in an interview:
'They used to make fun of me because I was very eccentric and provocative, so I began to lower my dignity. I did not fit with my classmates, I felt like a freak’




With seventeen years, got enter early in the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. There he studied art, religion or politics. Gaga later left school.




 
 
 
Lady Gaga may have suffered a great deal against bullying but she never gave up, may she have been really bad days but defeated them and now instead of seeing her singing in bars or as a waitress, we see stadiums filled completely and all shouting her name. She became in a great example for millions of people.










Apart she now has a foundation called
'Born This Way'.















Every day, when Stef was coming to the studio, instead of saying hello, she was singing "Radio Ga Ga". That was her entrance song. Then I changed "radio" to "lady" and called her. At the name she told me "do not call me Stefani ever". After that day, she was Lady Gaga.
Rob Fusari









 
 
There are still many things about of her but that's it for NOW, then from here everyone can think as you want. And I simply say ... PAWS UP MONSTERS!

Ballet


 
Ballet is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many other dance genres. Ballet may also refer to a ballet dance work, which consists of the choreography and music for a ballet production. A well-known example of this is The Nutcracker, a two-act ballet that was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a music score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Stylistic variations have emerged and evolved since the Italian Renaissance. Early variations are primarily associated with geographic origin. Examples of this are Russian ballet, French ballet, and Italian ballet. Later variations include contemporary ballet and neoclassical ballet. Perhaps the most widely known and performed ballet style is late Romantic ballet (or Ballet Blanc), which is a classical style that focuses on female dancers and features pointe work, flowing and precise acrobatic movements, and often presents the female dancers in traditional, short white French tutus.


Ballet dance works (ballets) are choreographed and performed by trained artists, and often performed with classical music accompaniment. Early ballets preceded the invention of the proscenium stage and were performed in large chambers with the audience seated on tiers or galleries on three sides of the dance floor. Modern ballets may include mime and acting, and are usually set to music (typically orchestral but occasionally vocal).

Ballet requires years of training to learn and master, and much practice to retain proficiency. It has been taught in ballet schools around the world, which have historically used their own cultures to evolve the art. Ballet is the foundation of many types of dance.


History:




The history of ballet began in the Italian Renaissance courts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It quickly spread to the French court of Catherine de' Medici where it was further developed. The creation of classical ballet as it is known today occurred under Louis XIV, who in his youth was an avid dancer and performed in ballets by Pierre Beauchamp and Jean-Baptiste Lully. In 1661 Louis founded the Académie Royale de Danse (Royal Dance Academy) which was charged with establishing standards for the art of dance and the certification of dance instructors. In 1672, following his retirement from the stage, Louis XIV made Lully the director of the Académie Royale de Musique (Paris Opera) in which the first professional ballet company, the Paris Opera Ballet, arose. This origin is reflected in the predominance of French in the vocabulary of ballet.

Despite the great reforms of Jean-Georges Noverre in the eighteenth century, ballet went into decline in France after 1830, though it was continued in Denmark, Italy, and Russia. It was reintroduced to western Europe on the eve of the First World War by a Russian company, the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev, who ultimately influenced ballet around the world. Diaghilev's company became a destination for many of the Russian-trained dancers fleeing the famine and unrest that followed the Bolshevik revolution. These dancers brought back to their place of origin many of the choreographic and stylistic innovations that had been flourishing under the czars.

In the 20th century, ballet had a strong influence on broader concert dance. For example, in the United States, choreographer George Balanchine developed what is now known as neoclassical ballet. Subsequent developments include contemporary ballet and post-structural ballet, seen in the work of William Forsythe in Germany. Also in the twentieth century, ballet took a turn dividing it from classical ballet to the introduction of modern dance, leading to modernist movements in both the United States and Germany.

HOLLYWOOD (The Stars for Fans) - Jennifer Lawrence.


Biography:
Jennifer Shared Lawrence was born in August 15, 1990  in Louisville, Kentucky. She has 2 older brothers, Ben (Meredith) and Blaine, her parents are Gary and Karen Lawrence and a brand new nephew, Bear Lawrence.

Jennifer, known to her friends and family as “Jen”, was discovered in New York City at the age of 14. Before Jennifer became an actor, she was involved in cheerleading, field hockey, softball, and modeling, none of which she held a passion for.
In the spring of 2004, she traveled to New York City and set up a few auditions with talent and modeling agencies.
 After conducting her first cold read, the agents told her mother that “it was the best cold read by a 14- year-old they had ever heard”, and tried to convince her mother that she needed to spend the summer in Manhattan. After leaving the agency, Jen was spotted by an agent in the midst of shooting an H&M ad and asked to take her picture. The next day, that agent followed up with her and invited her to the studio for a cold read audition. Again, the agents were highly impressed and strongly urged her mother to allow her to spend the summer in New York City.

As fate would have it, she did spend that summer in New York City and appeared in commercials such as MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16″ and played a role in the movie, Devil You Know (2009). Shortly thereafter, her career forced her and her family to move to Los Angeles where she was cast in the TBS sitcom “The Bill Engvall Show” (2007) and movies such as The Poker House (2008) and The Burning Plain (2008).

Perhaps her most well-known work to date is her role as “Ree Dolly” in Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone (2010). Released in early 2010, the film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and earned Lawrence several awards such as Best Newcoming Actress at October’s Hollywood Awards.

Jennifer is the winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2013.
But even in the last year has received many awards for his great role of Tiffany in The Silver Linings Playbook, for your family, friends and fans she is still the same girl. Just as crazy, outgoing, exuberant and Funny. She remains in spite of the changes that are having now that fame increased.

I do not think anything's changed, she's very focused on her career. She is a girl of twenty years achieving his dream, but his parents did not like so much the idea that her daughter be taken as the actress profession because everything negative that brings fame is not what a parent would want for their daughter. But despite all achievement Jenn realize their dreams. And most curious story, knew that in order to go to New York had to teach Jenn Josh Hutcherson and tell their parents that "if this is the same guy that Kentucky could, cause I could not?" That's right, thanks to Josh, Jenn is the best actress of 2013.

And while Jenn hates all the crap that surrounds Hollywood and say so in interviews of the best newspapers in the country, no one can avoid either love her because she's pretty and with a great personality or his trademark humor that always carries. You know, like saying she is pregnant in the New York Times or falling on the stairs when going to pick up her Academy Award. 
But most of all for his great facial expressiveness, not for nothing is the queen of funny faces. So with all that, one can not help thinking that Jenn is like any other, only famous, but inside is a girl who always wants to have fun and that's why I admire her for always being, despite the fact that Hollywood is always pressing. Although she does not like Josh and always receive the paparazzi with a smile, but I think it is not, as she said: "I see a Papparazzi and I cover like I'm Voldemort". Haha that's another reason why I love her, she is potterhead! is cute, funny, smart and potterhead that more could you want?

This is not enough to express the great person he is, no article, book, magazine be possible encompass all that she is. I greatly admire her for her strength and not change to please others. Jennifer is awesome and I hope you have a great future ahead, that is well and above all to be happy. I sincerely hope that the paparazzi are not bad with her, not worth it. I love Jennifer. She is the perfect Katniss.

NEWS - HARRY STYLES will release disc as soloist?


HARRY STYLES will release disc as soloist?

 
There is a very strong rumor that Harry Styles could be planning to release a solo album he has written several songs and have recorded several topics, but nothing to do!

but Don't worry directioners! Niall, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Louis are working together in what will be his next album and sometimes the songs are recorded separately, so we seldom seen him alone in the study

The most important thing for Harry is One Direction (and obviously, the directioners) so it has no plans to leave the group.

At the moment none of the boys have any solo project, but maybe in the future could have a disc each one, without leaving the band, like Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.
