			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Article submitted by <a href="http://www.iclimber.com">iClimber (A Social Media Marketing Company)</a></p>
<p>Late last month, Britney Spears knocked Larry Page off his hard-earned top spot on Google+, the social network of the company he co-founded and currently runs as CEO. Certainly, coming second to a former pop princess will be less of an ego blow than coming second to Mark Zuckerberg, as was the case for a long time this past summer. Zuckerberg, as the head of Facebook, represents Google’s undisputed rival in the fight for Web supremacy.</p>
<p>But most likely, Larry Page does not have an actual desire to be at the top of his company’s network &#8212; he undoubtedly knows that its full submersion in popular culture is a vital sign of life, and that’s why Britney’s success on Google+ represents better news for Page and Google, than it does for the famous blonde from Louisiana. Still, Britney’s team will likely take the Google+ ranking as a mini-godsend because I’ll though she consistently releases hit tracks, her reputation and brand have suffered over the years. To keep the momentum going, on Britney Spears’ home page, there’s a huge Google+ box asking readers to add Britney to their Circles.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6477755869_be06e1cc66.jpg" alt="1597_Britney-Spears" width="291" height="406" /></p>
<p>Currently, the top five places on Google+ are occupied, in descending order, by Britney Spears, Larry Page, Snoop Dog, Tyra Banks, and Mark Zuckerberg.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A movie is never a one-man show. Producers, editors, cameramen, writers, directors and actors work together to produce a film. Big-budget films spend millions of dollars to create the best possible movie, hiring specialist to teach actors skills necessary for creating believable role. For example, to play the role of King Leonidas in the movie 300, actor Gerard Butler took sword-fighting classes to understand the proper methods for holding and swinging a sword.</p>
<p>Movie directors hire well-known specialists in dance, martial arts and military combat to recreate a realistic experience for viewers. For instance, a movie director for an upcoming dance movie may ask actors to train at <a title="Woodland Hills dance studio" href="http://karinasmirnoffdance.com">Woodland Hills dance studio</a> to gain the necessary coordination and skills to perform a role.  If you’re curious about what kinds of classes and training actors receive, here are some notable roles and training some actors and directors have received. </p>
<p><strong>Josh Hartnett and Ewan McGregor in Black Hawk Down</strong><br />
<br />
Black Hawk Down reenacted the 1993 incident when a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter was shot down while U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force soldiers captured Somalian delegates. In order to accurately portray the methods and skills of U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force operatives, the cast took a two-week course training with U.S. Army Rangers at Fort Benning. The cast learned Ranger history, salutations, lore, call outs and combat techniques. </p>
<p><strong>Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Script for Casino</strong><br />
<br />
Casino was based on the life of Frank “Lefty Rosenthal, a Mafia member who ran several casinos for the Mafia. For the movie script, Scorsese collaborated with Nicholas Pilleggi to write the script. However, before any writing took place, both men worked tirelessly gathering information about real-life Mafia members to understand the dialect, dress attire and code of ethics to make the movie as real as possible. </p>
<p><strong>Zack Synder&#8217;s Preproduction Preparation for 300</strong><br />
<br />
Two months before filing began on 300 director Zack Synder had order the creation of hundreds of shields, spears and swords that would be later used in the movie. In addition to the weapons used, over 600 customs were created that Zynder would use for both the Spartan, Persian and Athenian soldiers in the movie. The pre-production crew also had to build a suitable set for the actors that portrayed the landscape of Sparta and the Battle of Thermopylae. </p>
<p>Actors, directors, film producers all work together to create a realistic experience, whether it means subjecting actors to <a title="Woodland Hills dance lessons" href="http://karinasmirnoffdance.com/index.php">Woodland Hills dance lessons</a> or spending weeks overseas to learn military combat. Actors and directors go to great lengths to ensure the movie is produced correctly to create a realistic experience for those watching at home. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an interview with the radio host, Howard Stern, Lady Gaga said that she still lives in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn but rumor has it that she is building a home in the city of Omaha which is in the state of Nebraska, and is also the hometown of her on-and-off boyfriend, Luc Carl.</p>
<p>According to the Omaha World Herald, it is 8000-square foot in dimensions that is located in the outskirts of the city with the distinction of being one of the few houses that has a 12-car garage. While fans have been skirting the premises to get pictures for months, the rumor mill suspects that the reason for her to do so (even if the current homeowners are visibly frustrated with the attention and fanfare) can be justified by her spending time with Carl’s parents in Springfield, Nebraska.</p>
<p>She also spent time at an Omaha gay club, a seafood market and a bowling alley where several people recognized her, perhaps easily distinguishable from other celebrities, thanks to her usual demeanor and clothing.</p>
<p>If that wasn’t enough, the rumor mill began turning again as soon as she returned to Nebraska recently to shoot a video “You &amp; I” that clearly describes the relationship that she shares with her “cool Nebraska guy”, only this time in a rural town very close to Omaha.</p>
<p>While this might seem exciting news to Nebraskan fans, there are others who have their reservations since they consider her to be weird.</p>

<p>If there’s anything that’s true about reality TV, it is the fact that it is very popular, and if you are on one of them, you stand to make a lot of money as a winner. Recently, the Forbes magazine released a list of <a href="http://www.idolfanforum.com/">American Idol</a> alumni and their earnings, and according to the list, Carrie Underwood and Adam Lambert were found to be the top earners. The calculation of their earnings was made on a pre-tax basis before taking into account the percentages that their agents and managers also make from it all.</p>
<p>It’s no surprise to see such high figures when it comes to the singer’s earnings because American Idol itself is considered to be “a money-making machine” by its producers and everyone involved. In the words of Adam Kluger, the president of the brand partnership company, “It’s like having the Super Bowl every week.”</p>
<p>Among the list of highest paid singers of American Idol, Carrie Underwood tops the list with $ 20 million with Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry behind at $ 6 million each. The rest of the people on this list include names such as Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Clay Aiken and Catherine McPhee.</p>
<p>If that’s not enough, in not only being at the top of this list, Carrie Underwood is the winner of five Grammy awards and recently made her debut in the movie Soul Surfer while the two tied in the second spot has played 116 concerts over the last 12 months for their earnings with a strong crowd turnout.</p>

While Simon Cowell is being charged for “thievery” by not honoring the 2005 contract which stipulates that Simon Fuller (the creator of American Idol) should get “a piece of the pie” from the X Factor earnings, this new reality TV show, which is now being launched in the United States, has been catching some thieves in the form of wannabe singers.</p>
<p>Yes, in similar fashion to American Idol, the <a href="http://www.xfactorblog.net/">X Factor</a> is now separating the wheat from the chaff through its auditions which are being held throughout the country but what has been intriguing is that those who were denied their shot at X Factor glory aren’t necessarily leaving empty handed.</p>
<p>Interestingly, most of these singer wannabes have been getting their hands dirty by robbing perfume and makeup which are available to them in the rehearsal rooms yet unbeknownst to them their every move is being filmed using a two-way mirror. This leaves the show’s officials with a dilemma as to whether they should kick the ones who have made it to the second round out.</p>
<p>What makes this most surprising is that these thieves are the last people that you would expect to do something like this – the quiet ones. Some industry insiders think that this alternative (of booting these talented ‘thieves’ out) isn’t a good idea but the footage might be used for the spin-off show, Xtra Factor.</p>
<p>As the producers are in a rush to buy some more makeup and perfume, the contestants have been warned once again that they will be filmed not only during the audition process but when in make-up as well, hopefully to prevent a repeat of this kind of uncivilized behavior.</p>

It’s no surprise that <a href="http://www.g-michael.com/">George Michael</a> was thrilled when the tabloid in which he has featured in regularly, News of the World, announced that they would be shutting down. In fact, he has gone on record to state that this is “a fantastic day for Britain”.</p>
<p>Perhaps the reason for this is because News of the World Reporters found out about George Michael’s DUI arrest last year by illegally tapping his phone, and singer used Twitter henceforth to accuse Rebekah Brooks of corruption who incidentally told him while meeting him at his home that it was never the celebrities or the public that gave them that information but actually the police who came to them first.</p>
<p>In regards to his DUI crime, he said that he, along with other celebrities were robbed of their justice, yet wasn’t reluctant to do jail time for his crime, for the reason that he was “very ashamed”.</p>
<p>George Michael went on to say that a lot of people, whether rich or poor, deserve the law and that this tabloid has been responsible for denying them their rights for a long time now. Of course, in the wake of its own phone hacking scandal, James Murdoch (the News International chairman) decided to shut down the tabloid, with the weekend edition being its last after almost 165 years.</p>
<p>The reason for this is because of the outrage it has cultivated in Britain, thanks to the hacking scandal that was revealed recently, and this move comes despite the fact that it has remained Britain’s largest selling newspaper for several years now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Article submitted by <a href="http://www.80smusicforums.com/">80s Music Forum</a><br />
Steven Tyler has been in the news for all the right and wrong reasons whether it is his issues with his band mates or even his current status as a judge on American Idol. While the latter seems to take up most of his time, he will also be recording a new album with his band mates after almost seven years this summer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The last album that they released was Honkin’ on Bobo in 2004, and following Tyler’s issues with painkiller addiction and spats with his band mates over the last few years, it seems as if the band is finally back to doing what they do best.</p>
<p>According to most of the band members, their intention was to work with the producer Brendan O’Brien but due to the health issues that Joe Perry and Steven Tyler faced, the project had to be postponed until this year. Of course, this ensured that they never got down to working with the producer in question and have decided to stick with Jack Douglas, who was their producer right from the start of their career and helped them release classic albums such as Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks to much success.</p>
<p>Yet despite the rocky moments and delays, all band members are very sure about getting back together and recording as they did so long ago – as a band, and in the same room.</p>
<p>In short, they want to make an old-school Aerosmith album and their very best – something that fans will look forward to in the coming months ahead.</p>
