Since the release of the film-version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (based on the bestselling book of the same name), many people are intrigued to learn more about the film’s leading actress Rooney Mara. Critics believed that the producers of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were taking a risk by casting a relatively unknown actress in the lead role of Lisbeth Sander, instead of one of Hollywood’s better known stars, such as Natalie Portman. But it seems the critics now have pie on their faces as the film has done incredibly well at the box office and Mara is quickly becoming a household name and went on to win a Golden Globe nomination for the role in 2012. Mara, born in New York in 1985, only started acting when she attended university - graduated from New York University in 2010 with a degree in international relations and psychology - where she had roles in student films. Her first led role in a movie was in Tanner Hall which filmed in 2007. In 2010 she played the lead role in the remake of the classic movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street. The movie did not do well at the box office, but it did lead to bigger and better things for the young actress as she received the role of the university student who dumps the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg in the box office hit The Social Network. Not only did the movie do well in terms of ticket sales, but it also won an Oscar Award for Best Picture. The Social Network was the first time that she worked with director David Fincher, who hired her to ply the lead role in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’. Not only is she a great actress, but she is also charitable as she founded the charitable organisation of Faces of Kibera which provides food, medical care and other essentials to orphans in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

Heigl’s Style
[Report Abuse]
Reason

Hollywood superstar Katherine Heigl appreciates clothes. Long To mirror Katherine’s style, keep fuss to a minimum. Tasteful fabrics drape her figure with smooth, graceful lines. Omit severely patterned fabrics and think fusion, not blocking. Skirts and dresses accentuate height, drawing the eye down a seemingly endless trail, while deeper necklines sit perfectly against an elongated décolletage. Clothes needn’t be figure hugging to cling to a woman’s curves. Fabrics with a wispy lightness help silhouette the body’s shape without distastefully adhering to it. Silks, cotton-bamboo blends, voiles, chiffons and georgettes all perform dutifully in achieving that classic hourglass shape. Incorporate floaty pieces into a wardrobe of comfortable jeans and luxuriously soft cashmere cardigans. Always classy, dressing in white gives a clean look. Don’t be afraid to maximize the imposition of white into a wardrobe - let it contrast with a navy cardigan, pair it with a floral skirt or shorts, and try wearing a tailored man’s dress shirt. The femininity of white is timeless, be it opaque or translucent. Liberate the hair from those girly accessories and keep it moving and uninhibited, let it fall and tousle a little. Katherine’s short, fuss free hair lengthens her neck and is in perfect proportion to her slender body, making her appear taller. Choose a cut that not only complements your face but your whole body. Choose handbags wisely. Katherine has an array of them that she uses to accompany her outfits. Opt for the larger sized totes rather than the daintier clutches; they’ll ooze that effortless ‘casual and relaxed’ chic. Keep jewellery to a minimum. Don’t fuss with chains upon chains, and big, gaudy rings and earrings - just keep it simple and elegant with a key statement piece or simply beautifully bare skin. Have a few structured jackets that can be worn with jeans, and a couple of glitzy sleeveless dresses - Katherine favours the one shoulder type. Finally, invest in some versatile boots, flats and heels – and you’re well on your way to walking the red carpet!

A beautiful southern girl, raised as a Southern Baptist is coming into her own. She started her life (as Destiny Hope Cyrus) living on a farm, surrounded by the great outdoors. Her father is Billy Ray Cyrus, best known for his hit single: “Achey Breaky Heart”, that's obviously where her beautiful voice comes from. But, she's more than a singer, she's also an actress. .jpg "Image By: Colourlessloveee") Miley's acting career started when she was twelve and she auditioned for the part of the best friend in, what became, Hannah Montana. After being asked to rather audition for the lead role, she was cast as Miley Stewart (renamed after her), a girl with a secret double life as a famous singer. At the age of 18, the fourth and final season of Hannah Montana began shooting.
As Miley takes her first steps into adulthood, she takes her career into her own hands. She doesn't seem sure about the direction she wishes to go in, but as a young adult, she has more than enough time to try out all her options to see which suits her best.
Her third album, Cant be Tamed, was said to be her last for now while she would focus on her acting career, but it seems that Miley can't see to pull herself away from the singing just yet as she plans to record a fourth album.
Cyrus embarked on her film career as an adult by starring in the film “The Last Song”, which showed a successful transition into adult roles for the talented, young actor. She intends to follow her dreams, remarking that she can always return to college when she's older, it's never too late to study. She says: “For right now, I really want to focus on my career. I've worked hard to get to where I am now, and I want to enjoy it while it lasts.”
Miley has lived an exciting life and the whole world waits with baited breath to see where her future leads her. As she steps into adulthood, will she rise to the challenge?

Is Will Smith in the Shadows?

Will Smith is well known for his music, movies and for his pseudonym: The Fresh Prince (but, not so much for his real name: Willard Christopher Smith Jr.)! He experienced his first taste of greatness in the 1980's and has never looked back. Starring in some very popular and memorable movies: Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black, I Robot, I am Legend, Wild Wild West, Enemy of the State and Shark Tale, to mention but a few, Smith went on to achieve International success. President Barack Obama has said that if there were to be a film made about his life, Smith would play his part, because “he has the ears”.
But, now there's a new pair of ears on the scene!
Born of two great actors, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, came Willow Smith, with a combination of mom and dad's acting talent, confidence and, of course, daddy's famous ears.
Willow acted alongside her father as his daughter in I Am Legend. Her performance in Kit Kittredge: an American Girl earned her a Young Artist Award, and she has also carved out a niche using that beautiful voice of hers. To date, she has released 3 singles: Whip My Hair, 21st Century Girl and Fireball (featuring Nicki Minaj).
Unfortunately, in the case of young girls who start their music career before they become teenagers, when they do hit puberty, they usually end up using the spotlight to display their teenage angst and play out their rebellion by wearing inappropriate outfits and making provocative music videos (case in point Miley Cirus, Britney Spears… you get the idea). We can only hope that Willow will be different.
Willow has a younger brother, Jaden Smith, with whom she tied for the young star award (BET Awards). Jaden is also likely to make it big in Hollywood as he gets older. Willow and Jaden have a half-brother, Willard Christopher Smith III (better known as “trey”), Born to Will and his first wife, Sheree Zampino. Trey appeared in his father's music video “Just the Two of Us”.
It looks like the Smith name will never be forgotten, thank goodness for that!

Born in Perth, Scotland, and raised in a little town called Crieff, his mother and father were both teachers. He discovered his passion early on in life and decided to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. His career took off before he had even graduated, winning a lead role in “Lipstick on Your Collar”, a six-part series presented on Channel 4. He also starred in “Scarlet and Black”. The first film he acted in was “Being Human” and he went on to win an Empire Award for his performance in “Shallow Grave”, where he first started working with director Danny Boyle. McGregor was first known in the international arena, because of his role as a heroin addict in the film “Trainspotting”, directed by Danny Boyle. And later, he was cast as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the legendary, “Star Wars Trilogies”. The first time we got to see him sing on the big screen was in the movie “Moulin Rouge!” staring alongside Nicole Kidman (a magnificent performance indeed). Recently, he played his first live gig in Los Angeles. He admitted that he was terrified, but he got on stage as he has done thousands of times before, only this time he had a guitar in his hands and a microphone to sing into. The nerves which had haunted him for the entire day never seemed to show once he got started. He played cover songs by The Cure and Oasis during his performance at the London Hotel. The crowd enjoyed it (even Jodie Foster was in the crowd)! The proceeds from the evening went to benefitting a children’s charity. With so many celebrities experiencing so much drama in their everyday lives, this talented actor, and singer, seems to be able to attract only happiness. Whether it’s acting in amazing films and on the stage, singing his heart out to help some needy children, or riding his motorcycle with his best friend, Charley Boorman, from London to New York, Ewan McGregor is bound to be enjoying every second of his life.

U2 – A Guitar Culture

The Irish band known as U2 is one of the most famous rock bands today. They remain old-school yet innovative. Since the moment U2 started, their songs have been totally out of the ordinary. In fact, no one sounded like them when they started. It was their idea to bring such a unique style to the world. Some people were very negative about their style, and decided not to support it or sponsor it. However, by the end of the 70’s U2 had many followers and fans. This is what made people understand that they had a very special sparkle, which was not found on anyone else. Their sparkle was all about creativity and innovation. When it comes to style, U2 is the leader of many of the styles we know today. However, their most noticeable creation is their guitar style. The Edge, U2’s guitar player is known for his creativity and uniqueness. He was the first one to start using delays, reverbs, phases and many of the effects we commonly listen today all together. He designed many of the delays thousands of guitar players use today. Modern rock bands have been influenced by U2’s style on their majority. World leading bands like Green Day and others even admit to be great fans of The Edge and his style. It is something that can be easily noticed in their recordings. The influence of U2 will remain in most of all bands and their guitar players.

Megan Fox for Armani

For those who don’t know yet, Megan Fox is the new model for Armani’s cosmetic collection. In this collection, the Italian designer is trying to mix up some old-school styles from the 30’s and a modern elegant touch. It is easily seen in the pictures that Armani places a lot of emphasis on Megan’s eyes, mouth and neck. The hairstyle definitely screams”Thirties!” in every aspect. It is plain brown or black with some volume in the top and a very radical sponge effect in the bottom. The makeup used on her lips is also one of the things that make her look like if she was from 80 years ago. However, there are also some noticeable modern touches in her makeup. For example, her eyelashes are definitely not fixed with a 30’s instrument. They are actually perfect, which makes her look totally up to date. Also, the colour and perfection with which her skin is toned has to be something brand new. Fans are waiting for more pictures of this stunning actress wearing Armani’s products. However, some other fans rejected her image totally which makes it hard to know if she will dare to try it again. Some say that she looks like a totally different person; some others say she looks stunning. However, it is definitely helping Armani sell some of its makeup, as sales have increased notably since the moment the new Megan Fox images were out. Well, judge it yourself, take a moment to check out the pictures and decide whether you like her looks or not.

All About Aniston

Ok you must know that in the world of celebrities, there are thousands of different styles and personalities. Every year, fashion is practically edited by what celebrities wear. It is always impressing to see how some celebrities change their style completely from one year to another. For example, the stunning Jennifer Aniston was wearing a very unique dress in Elle’s event “Women in Hollywood Tribute”. This event took place in Los Angeles, California, at the Four Season Hotel. A lot of people are talking about what they think of Jennifer’s outfit during the event. Some fans say that her dress was totally sexy; some others say that it has not been her best choice. Describing her dress; it definitely looks fine and expensive. However, its colour is a combination of gray and silver. This is probably not the best combination for her skin and hair colour. Her eyes match it great though. The dress is short enough so that anyone can see about three fourths of her legs. Her shoes are very fresh and simple. Some of the comments say that she should never dress this way, some others say this is one of the best outfits she has ever worn. There are too many different opinions. However, those professionals of fashion that commented about it were very positive on it. Jennifer Aniston has always been liked for what she acts, dresses and says. Of course, there will be different opinions always. However, her good taste is notable.
