Excitement at the British Fashion Awards 2015

The British Fashion Awards are always full of the great and the gorgeous of the fashion and the entertainment world in the UK, but this year the event seems to have provided more than the usual amount of glitz and glamour, which we try to reflect in this article:

A Recap Of The British Fashion Awards 2015

It was a sparkling evening of deserving winners and stunning outfits at the British Fashion Awards, where Victoria and David Beckham wore similar "his and her" black suits, and the Instagrammable generation of Alexa Chung and Olivier Rousteing shared their night with us on social media.

Held at the historic London Coliseum, the BFAs honoured legends of fashion like Chanel director, Karl Lagerfeld, who was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award that was presented by his close friend and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. Wintour joked that for the sake of frienship, Lagerfeld built a tennis court at his coastal home in Biarritz so that she'd feel "more comfortable when visiting"...

For the major categories of womenswear and menswear, JW Anderson scored a rare coup and got both awards. When he came on stage, he admitted to being a bit flustered when his crush Orlando Bloom gave him the award. Bloom looked positively delicious in his all navy suit.


One of the most hilarious moments of the night came when comedians Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley came as their iconic fashionistas Edina and Patsy from Absolutely

Fabulous to present Stella McCartney with the British Brand Award. "She's been literally making bags from the pubic hair of wheat grass for years," quipped Eddie in reference to McCartney's eco-sensibilities.


The night also saw rulebreakers take home the gold, like FKA Twigs, who won for Fashion Innovator and the ecstatic Gwendoline Christie who was so happy to get her award she knocked over the martinis at her table in the process!

But, it wouldn't be a fashion night out if there weren't selfies and pouting plastered over Instagram, our favourite one had to be the ultimate "It Girl" Alexa Chung posing with Oliver Rousteing and Stella McCartney. I guess our invites got lost in the mail! Via A Recap Of The British Fashion Awards 2015

British Fashion Awards 2015 Red Carpet

The very best of British Fashion gathered at the London Coliseum which played host to the annual British Fashion Awards last night, which welcomed a guest list packed with the capital's most prominent designers, models, celebrities and editors
.
Karlie Kloss the 23-year-old supermodel sizzled as she sashayed into the star-studded event in a semi-sheer metallic dress. Opting for glamorous yet cheekily risque look, Karlie showcased her incredible figure as well as her assets in the partially see-through fringed gown. Channelling a classic glamour while retaining a hint of saucy modern style, the blonde beauty oozed effortless style and elegance in the svelte silver number which clung to her frame.

The leggy catwalk strutter wowed in a past collection piece from Chanel which oozed timeless chic thanks to its retro, 1920s inspired aesthetic.

The metallic column ankle-grazing dress is from the French fashion house’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection which featured 3D stand out embroidery and an understated paisley print. The gown's metallic detail and fringing also appeared to highlight her toned frame even further, while its sleeveless nature and dipping neckline flashed a hint of Karlie's alabaster skin.

Teaming her frock with a pair of needle-point black stiletto heels, the American stunner drew attention to her lithe legs which she flashed occasionally thanks to the dress' thigh-high side slash.

Obviously not wishing to distract from her glittering dress, Karlie kept her accessories to a minimum with a statement diamond bracelet, ear studs and a glittering Chanel clutch. Wearing her golden tresses in a centre-parting, she let the perfectly tousled and wavy locks flow down around her shoulders. Keeping to a pale palette of make-up, Karlie subtly highlighted her eyes with some eye shadow before adding a flash of vampish colour to her plump lips with a deep scarlet lipstick.

Lady Gaga was described as a scarlet siren, as she sashayed down the red carpet wearing a bespoke Tom Ford gown. She embraced a very sultry style, but she stayed true to form by ensuring she stood out from the crowd thanks to red net detailing on the bodice and matching fingerless gloves.

The glamorous gown was set off with a pair of red satin peep-toe heels and a smart burgundy clutch bag. Gaga completed her look with a pair of dazzling drop earrings and matching stick-on jewels on her eyelids. Gaga looked incredible in a form-fitting, sequin embellished gown with a daring thigh-high split running up the right hand side.

The Born This Way singer pulled her platinum locks in to an elegant bouffant, adding extra sparkle with winged diamante embellished eyelids. “I always say fashion for me is crucial for me existence,” she gushed to reporters on the red carpet. “So everyone that is here tonight is apart of my religion.”

Jourdan Dunn, who wore a stunning black and white Mugler cut out gown and Jimmy Choo heels, took home the award for Model of the Year. Looking typically chic for the occasion, Dunn donned a monochrome maxi dress by Mugler, teamed with silver barely there sandals and her shiny locks worn down with a sleek side parting.

Understated, effortless, and achingly cool, [her] dress by Mugler was perfect for Jourdan, as she sheroozed class and sophistication. “MODEL OF THE YEAR!!!!!” she wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you British Fashion Council and everyone who has continued to support me feeling extremely blessed and grateful.” After being presented with her award from Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing, Dunn said in her acceptance speech: "You're going to make me cry. I won this in 2008, I was a hot mess, my speech was a hot mess. It was all a mess. So short and sweet this time. Thank you to the British Fashion Council, I don't know what to say. Thank you to my mum and my son Riley, who wanted me to stay in bed and watch TV with him. This is for him." Via British Fashion Awards 2015 Red Carpet

Breaking News! Kylie-Jenner and Tyga to Marry or Maybe...

It is quite hard to remember that it is still less than a week since we were reading about the break up of Kylie Jenner and Tyga, and now we hear that that are going to get married! Now, Kylie may have been joking. She may have had her fingers crossed, or she may have been winking! We simply don't know, because it was too dark and the camera was not showing her face as she spoke. Here is the story in more detail:

Kylie Jenner - I'm Gonna Marry Tyga!!!

Kylie Jenner goes from breakup to "until death do us part" faster than anyone ... because she and Tyga are going to get married, and that's straight from her mouth.  

The recently reunited couple was out after the American Music Awards Sunday night when someone popped the question. She did not hesitate with her answer ... if only we could see Tyga's face. Ah, young love. Via Kylie Jenner -- I'm Gonna Marry Tyga!!! (VIDEO)

The Story so far:

1. The Break Up

Kylie Jenner and Tyga have broken up, and it was sudden and nasty ... TMZ has learned. Sources connected with the couple tell us they split Thursday, just after Kylie returned from Australia. One source says, "It's something Tyga did," but the source would not be specific.

Sources connected with Tyga say Kylie's the one who pulled the plug and it had something to do with "pressure from the Kardashians."

Kendall was out Thursday night at dinner and we're told she was upset and had harsh words about Tyga. Via: Kylie Jenner Tyga break up

 2. Singledom!

Kylie Jenner was flying solo Friday night -- no Tyga in sight -- but she may not have left solo.

The freshly-single 18-year-old partied at Hyde on the Sunset Strip in WeHo until 2 AM.  Apparently Justin Bieber was inside and so was A$AP Rocky. You can see from a video, Kylie and A$AP leave in the same SUV. Teenagers heal more quickly. Via  Kylie-Jenner asap rocky Justin BiebertTyga

3. The Reconciliation

Kylie posted a pic to Snapchat Saturday showing her and who we're guessing is Tyga together on a couch with the caption "everyone needs to chill." We're not sure where the two are, but judging by the ink on his hand ... it's safe to say that's Tyga. It's unclear if the two are officially back together or just talking things out but you gotta wonder, why so soon?

TMZ broke the story, Kylie and Tyga called it quits Thursday and she was spotted leaving an L.A. club with A$AP Rocky Friday night ... but maybe things weren't so bad after all.

4. Monday - The Big Leap?!

So now it is still only Monday and Kylie answers reporter's question, "Are you going to get married?", to which (while getting into a vehicle), she syas "Yes".

Can this be true, or was she just kidding. We don't know because we could not see her face. Maybe she gave a wink as she said it? We don't know.

Previous "Getting Married" Indications from this Couple:

This isn't the first time that this couple has indicated marriage, nor is it the first time when a joke has been made about it! See below:

Sylvester Stallone's Gorgeous Daughters

The Stallone girls are truly wonderfully good looking, all 3 of them Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet, and it is good to put past family sadness aside and to write about the family of Sylvester Stallone. Sistine is the only daughter that has openly sought the limelight and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother and become a model.

We understand that her mother has been coaching in modelling skills and such things as her deportation. I'm not sure that men actually think much about that, just that she looks beautiful! 

Sylvester Stallone's Gorgeous Daughters ... Look But Don't Touch, Please!

Sylvester Stallone's rep as a Hollywood tough guy is coming in pretty handy right about now -- since his 3 attractive daughters are at that age when boys come sniffing around ... at their own risk.

Sly's "Creed" premiere Thursday night was a family affair ... with his wife Jennifer Flavin and their daughters all sharing the spotlight.
The only downside for Stallone is his stunning girls -- Sistine,17, Sophia,19, and 13-year-old Scarlet -- were IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
We got Jennifer, a former model, at LAX and she said one of their daughters is already following in mom's footsteps ... 

via Sylvester Stallone's Gorgeous Daughters ... Look But Don't Touch, Please!

Stallone and Flavin have been together since 1988—married since 1997—and have three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet. Stallone was married to Sage’s mother, Sasha Czack, from 1974 to 1985. The couple also had another son, Seargeoh.

Sistine Stallone

Sistine Stallone might be Sylvester Stallone’s daughter, but that doesn’t mean you’ll see this young thing on the big screen. Turns out that while the 16-year-old doesn’t have daddy’s acting chops, she’s following in the footsteps of her mother, former model Jennifer Flavin. That’s right — Sistine could become the next Kendall Jenner, and she’s already earning her way into the industry with editorial shoots. Her latest? A spread in the March issue of Teen Vogue — whose cover girls include Binx Walton and Gigi Hadid, daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster.
When this 16-year-old isn’t working the camera, she’s just your average teenager: she goes to Catholic school, loves studying history and chemistry, golfs with her dad, and plays volleyball. However, she and her sisters — Sophia Rose, 18, and Scarlet Rose, 12, — realize that, given their father’s celebrity, they don’t just have an average adolescence.

Via  HNGN

Sistine Stallone is making Sylvester Stallone into a delighted dad. At 16, Sistine longs to become a supermodel, and her famous father totally supports her goals, reports the Daily Mail.
Now 68, Stallone still has those Rocky tough guy good looks, but the actor showed his fatherly soft side by thoughtfully going with Sistine to her photo shoot in New York City. And Sylvester also was beside his teenager as they prepared to head to Los Angeles.

Via  Inquisitr

The gorgeous daughter of Sylvester Stallone and model Jennifer Flavin appears in the new issue of Teen Vogue. In the photo spread, the 16-year-old strikes a pose in a pale pink shift dress with her gorgeous brunette locks styled in tousled waves.
Stallone also opens up about her famous dad in the accompanying interview, telling Teen Vogue that the "Rocky" star has taught her how to throw-down. "I don't box, but he's taught me how to throw a punch," she reveals.

Sophia Stallone

Turns out that Sophia has not just one Instagram account, she has two. Based on those accounts (and her Twitter and Facebook) it would appear that she is in a sorority, Delta Gamma, and currently attends USC. How lucky for the Trojans.

Sistine Stallone was spotted strolling beside her famous father, Sly Stallone, at LAX as a crowd of excited paparazzi snapped photo after photo of the pair. The teen model kept her look casual with torn jeans, a faded black t-shirt, plaid jacket and comfortable footwear. Her hair was pulled into a sleek ponytail, and she hid her eyes behind large sunglasses. Although some reports misidentified the stunner as her older but equally lovely sister Sophia Stallone, Sistine was quick to let fans and followers on Facebook know that it was her.
On June 5, 2015, Sistine Stallone wrote on Facebook, "It is not Sophia, but I," referencing a YouTube video that erroneously named her as recent high school graduate Sophia, who will be attending University of Southern California in the fall. She followed that gentle correction by posting several pics taken at LAX as she and her father returned to Los Angeles after spending some time together in New York City.

Patti LaBelle's Sweet Potato Pie Viral Buying Frenzy is All Her Doing

We think that this story will astonish you when you realize that Patti is over 70 years old, and yet she has mastered social networking better than most 30 year olds! Quite how her new pie product has sold out nationwide (US), big-time(!) is explained below and in the video on this page.

Patti LaBelle loves the YouTube guy who sang the praises of her sweet potato pies, but she says the frenzy over the delicious dessert is all her doing.Patti LaBelle -- YouTube Guy's Lovely ... But I'm the Brains Behind My Sweet Potato Pie!

The famous diva whose pies have flown off the shelves at just about every second.Walmart in the US of A was not sharing credit as she showed up to the London hotel in a very rainy NYC. Patti loves James Wright, but she says the success is all hers.

BTW ... it's insane what's happening with the pies ... some are going for $100 on Craigslist. We called 30 Walmart stores and they said December is the earliest they'll be restocked.

An awesome homemade pie could make anyone break out into song, but singer James Wright Chanel has taken things to another level in a now viral YouTube video where he serenades super star Patti LaBelle's Sweet Potato Pie, a pre-packaged dessert that's exclusively available at Walmart.
Thanks to Wright Chanel's video, the pies were selling at a rate of one pie per second for 72 hours straight from Friday to Sunday this past weekend. Stores throughout the country sold out and a black market opened up, with pies selling on eBay for as much as $12,000 for door-to-door delivery (they're only $3.98 each in the store). But don't panic if you absolutely need to get your hands on one of these desserts from the Queen of Rock and Soul: there's more pie on the way according to the retailer.
LaBelle worked with Walmart's team to develop the recipe for the pie and it has only been on shelves since September with a retail price of $3.98 and a current roll-back price of $3.48. "Our buyers knew that it would be popular but sales are completely exceeding expectations because of the viral video," says Forrest Ales.

Mama Patti is very grateful to James Wright, the man who made the sweet potato pie review, gone viral. But she says the success of her pie sales at Walmart is all her doing.
Well, that is partially true. The sweet potato pie recipe has been in her cookbook for years.
It was the recipe that James was responding to. But real talk, not many of us even knew Patti LaBelle’s pies were being sold in Walmart. And Black people take sweet potato pie so seriously that even if we did, many of us were too skeptical to try it, thinking that the flavor had been watered down in the mass production and packaging processes.

At 71 years of age, R&B super diva Patti LaBelle has experienced just about everything fame and good fortune could bore. But nothing could've prepared the 'Lady Marmalade' crooner for the avalanche of adulation she would receive from her latest endeavor; a line of boxed sweet potato pies exclusively sold at Wal-Mart stores since September.
The company, admittedly, didn't do anything to go out of its way to promote the product since its release two months ago. Even LaBelle, who was doing a battery of media chores earlier this month for her Lung Cancer Awareness campaign didn't mention it during appearances.

Hackers to Take Down ISIS: is the Fast Fix Solution to Terror from Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel is well known for his outlandish ideas, given expression in his comedy. Ideas which can lead to hilariously funny TV, but which at times have gotten him into hot water.

It's the nature of what he is, and what he does. 

Now he has it seems, if the huge viral popularity of this idea has got anything to do with support for the idea from the public, taken a hold and has become a strain of that that huge numbers of fans on social media are talking about. Right now his Facedbook likes on top web magazine TMZ, alone, are showing a thumbs up count of over 4,500 likes, all built-up in less than a day.

Jimmy Kimmel: I'm Rooting for Hackers to Take Down ISIS

Count Jimmy Kimmel is among the people suddenly cheering for the once hated hacking group, Anonymous ... since it's decided to target the terrorists.

Jimmy was heading out of Craig's and we asked if he thinks the people condemned for exposing financial and personal information of average citizens ... can really take down ISIS -- as it vowed to do in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
Anonymous claims it's already dismantled thousands of social media accounts for ISIS followers. Check out Jimmy's reply -- he's a believer in the whole zero to hero thing.
Yay, hackers?

via Jimmy Kimmel: I'm Rooting for Hackers to Take Down ISIS

There is no doubt that although ISIS may be pretty cute at using social media as a publicity vehicle, the sorts of computer types that can patiently set-up computer systems securely and keep them closed from attack from knowledgeable hackers, as unlikely to be many.

Then also, there is clearly huge scope for even the newest trainee hacker to close down social accounts, presumably that can be done simply by clciking on those links you see which enables anyone to "report abuse", when in this can "abuse" is any use of their social media accounts for anything illegal at all.

Kimmel's Disturbing Kids Table’ Show Episode

I was very disturbed by Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘Kids Table’ show. It was aired on ABC recently and talked about killing all the Chinese so that the states do not need to pay back their debts to China. The kids might not know anything better.

However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred.....

The parties involved have already apologized independently. Jimmy Kimmel has apologized on-air, and issued a written apology. ABC has removed the skit from future broadcasts, taken the clip down from online platforms, and detailed several changes in its programming review process in response to this incident. You can find more about Jimmy Kimmel's apology here, and ABC's apology here.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! "Preposterous" Ideas

On last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, we were treated to a solid sketch featuring Jimmy Kimmel showing up on the set of Shark Tank to pitch a few outlandish ideas. Now because both shows air on ABC, Kimmel didn’t have to use stand-ins a’la Saturday Night Live. On the contrary, he actually got to present his preposterous ideas to the show’s real stars (or sharks, as they like to be called), including Mark Cuban.

In somewhat dense 6-minute segment, we see Kimmel, appropriately of Kimmel Laboratories, spoof many of the more ridiculous items one can sometimes see on Shark Tank. The first idea Kimmel presented was designed with child safety in mind, namely an oversized traffic cone kids can put on their heads to keep them safe when crossing the street.

Stop Trashing Ronda Rousey ... She's a Legend; Holly Holm Says

After a round of unpleasantness online, possibly far more mentally bruising than any wrestling match UFC champ Holly Holm Skyped in to the "TMZ Sports" TV show on Monday with some remarkable support for Rousey. Yes! Remarkable given what Rousey had written about her!

Holly Holm: Stop Trashing Ronda Rousey ... She's a Legend

Holly Holm ... the merciful?

After Ronda Rousey trashed her in public -- and called her a "fake humility bitch" on Instagram -- UFC champ Holly Holm is calling for the Rousey haters to BACK OFF the fallen legend.

Holm Skyped in to the "TMZ Sports" TV show (Monday at 9PM PT on FS1) -- and said she actually feels BAD for Ronda, who's been ripped by everyone from Lady Gaga to Laila Ali.

"I think people can be pretty brutal," Holm said ... "and when you're in the spot shes in, there are people that are just going to jump ship and I don't ever wish for that."

She added, "I have a lot of respect for her."

There's A LOT more on the show -- with Holm talking about everything from a rematch with Rousey to if she plans on following Ronda's championship road to movie stardom!!

Tension between Rounda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather

There has been a lot of tension between Rounda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather, despite the two being involved in two different sports. In August, Rousey took a shot at Mayweather by referencing his history of domestic violence when she beat him to win the “Best Fighter” award at the ESPY’s. On Friday, Rousey weighed in on Mayweather’s bout against Andre Berto, which despite it being Floyd’s final fight of his career, only drew 500,000 pay-per-view subscriptions, the lowest that Money has done in 10 years. “I’m not surprised, a lot of people were pissed after that Pacquiao fight,” Rousey said.
We will never see a Mayweather Vs. Rousey fight because both parties are so rich, and if you’re Floyd there’s so much male pride to be lost if he had to tap out by means of Ronda’s devastating armbar. But we can see a Mayweather Vs. Rousey on Street Fighter 4.

Her clothes-less cover shot

Ronda Rousey set the sports and publishing worlds aflame last summer when she appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue. Those steeply versed in the crazy violent world of MMA already knew her name, but her [clothes free] cover shot turned her into a household name virtually overnight.
At the time she made the cover, Rousey was already an Olympic medalist in judo and a rising star in MMA. ESPN The Magazine’s cover story, which sold like those proverbial hotcakes you’re always hearing about, on her catapaulted Rousey into the same circle of fame as other attractive famous female athletes like Danica Patrick, Laila Ali and Gina Carano. After that, television came calling, and so did the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), which named her the league’s first-ever UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion thanks to her patented submission move, the armbar. Rousey defended her title in February this year, and graces the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s 15th Anniversary Issue (on newsstands now).

Rousey and Cupid's arrow

While fame has captured Rousey over the past few years, she's avoided Cupid's arrow for virtually her entire run in the UFC. Some of it is self chosen. Then again, as successful as Rousey is with fighting, it seems she's just as unlucky with love.
Rousey also addressed the fact that outside of her public-relations appearances or interviews, Rousey rarely ever puts on makeup. Why is that exactly? So when you see her all dolled up, it's that much more special.

Cast to star in a remake to the movie “Road House”

Did you know Ronda Rousey was just cast to star in a remake to the movie “Road House”? How cool is that? It’s awesome that someone known for their work ethic and skills in fighting could be elevated to the point of super stardom like Ronda Rousey has. Remember people known as fighters in high school? Just hearing the word “fight” peaked everyone in earshots interest, and even if you weren’t in the vicinity at the time the rumor mill of the fight going around school was enough to get everyone going. They wanted to see it, who was involved, and when it was going to happen. If the fight happened to be between two girls there was even more interest than the usual guy on guy fight. Boys are expected to be fighters.
Men get in scuffles all the time, but women? There is a certain cache to a little girl on girl action or “catfight” as they are sometimes referred to. So what drives a woman to want to fight? Obviously it’s not the male driven hormone testosterone driving that compulsion, but something else entirely. Historically speaking, women gather and nurture the community system.

Wild punch thrown by Rousey that Holm easily dodged

My favorite moment was the wild punch thrown by Rousey that Holm easily dodged. It left Rousey looking confused and punch drunk.
Best answer: There are more Hispanics leaning toward Trump than you may think. They know that the safely of this country is important. Many came here legally and respect the law. They know we can not afford to take in every person who wants to walk in. If we did, we would be a country of 4 billion, completely with the cartels that run Mexico.

Celebrity is a fixation in the United States as well as somewhere else worldwide. Celebrities are numbers that project in the public eye. Consumers look to stars to guide them decide anything from exactly what top to use with just what pants and also what hair design to sport for the summer season. Stars have a powerful feeling of sway over our choice making process. Stars are pacesetters: they do points that no person else is doing, and also in a few months the whole world is complying with in their steps.

Will Flash Grant Gustin Ever Rule the World? Maybe Not But Enjoy These While You Wait

Thomas Grant Gustin (date of birth January 14, 1990), the American actor and singer, who first burst into the public's awareness in 2012. He is best known for his roles as Barry Allen/ Flash on the CW series "The Flash" and as Sebastian Smythe in the Fox TV series "Glee".

It was back in July 2012, that "The Hollywood Reporter" announced that Grant Gustin had landed the lead role, which has very justifiably propelled him forward.

Subsequently the talk has all been about him in Affluenza. Directed by Kevin Asch and written by Antonio Macia, Affluenza is a 2014 American drama film which is loosely based on the classic book "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

But, now he is doing the network interview round and gaining many more fans, which you can catch up on by visiting the following posts:

Here are our favourite 7 things to know about Thomas Grant Gustin:

1. Grant was the leader of the Warblers Dalton academy

2. He is nothing like Sebastion in real life. He originally auditioned for another role and didn't get it, however, he was asked back again to audition for Sebastion and the rest is history now!

3. You could have seen him fleetingly on CSI Miami.

4. His dancing skills were developed long before he broke out into the red spandex. He was enrolled by his Mum for tap dancing classes when he was 8. But, by 10 he had dropped out of these classes and all organized sport was discarded, so that he could perform in an all-boy Elvis Tap Group!

Who is Sia Furler and A Round-Up of Sia Quotes

There is no longer any question of a dispute that Sia Furler, until recently one of Australia's least appreciated musical artists, can be a bit strange. Look no further than the music videos produced for her songs, and you will find that this singer has developed a style which is, to put it mildly, "very unique".

Sia is best known for her work with the electronic band which rejoices in the name of "Zero 7". That is despite the fact that she stopped working on songs with the community in order to put all her efforts into her solo career. Her stylish hot property, 'Breathe Me' has been bought up by many syndicated television shows. Not only that,her musical creations are now extending into films and ads for use in their soundtracks, and some of her music.

It maybe, if not quite yet, will very soon be that her name will become a regular household-wide feature.

What the press say

"Now Sia has unveiled a few tracks from her upcoming CD 'We Are Born' which have, so far, met with a very positive response. The album will be released on CD and for download on June 7 to coincide with the end of her global tour taking place this spring."

Most observers and fans say:

"She has gone from strength to strength recording new material and working with fellow singers such as Christina Aguilera, with whom she has penned several songs to be released on Aguilera's upcoming album this summer."

"However, it is precisely Sia's sense of peculiar style, coupled with her catchy pop tunes, thoughtful lyrics and soulful slow songs that makes her so appealing to so many listeners. From the melancholic piano melodies of well known song 'Breathe Me' to the spunkier sounds of her latest single 'Clap Your Hands', there's no mistaking that Sia has a full range of styles at her fingertips and isn't afraid to experiment."

What They are Saying About Sia Furler

Her Face-shrouding performance ritual:

I first noticed Sia's relatively new face-shrouding performance ritual when she was the musical guest on a recent episode of SNL. During "Elastic Heart," the singer faced off to the side, a tulle shield obscuring most of her face underneath her signature blonde wig. Sia faced the audience for "Chandelier," but she still wore the same black visor, and a mime performed next to her to draw attention away from the singer.

About that weird platinum blonde bob hairdo:

... Sia, 39, who had settled into writing songs for other pop artists in recent years – with a great deal of success. She wrote anthemic hits for Rihanna (Diamonds), Flo Rida (Wild Ones) and David Guetta (Titanium). She was also contracted by a who's who of stars including: Beyonce, Katy Perry, Kanye West, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Jessie J, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Rita Ora and Kylie Minogue.
She also turned her platinum blonde bob hairdo into a sort of symbol – those who performed in her videos have worn it. Since the Grammy awards, where she received five nominations, she has taken to wearing an oversized blonde wig which also hides her face. She wore the wig while performing Wolves with Kanye West on Saturday Night Live...

Her inclusion in the top ten of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour Power List

Taylor Swift may have taken on Apple and Spotify and Katy Perry may have earned the most money out of any female pop star last year, but the inclusion of Sia Furler in the top ten of Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour Power List recognises her more subtle but none the less radical form of achievement. In an industry that considers women's bodies as part of the product, the 39-year-old Australian singer-songwriter took a cool stance when she opted in 2014 to hide her face behind a choppy blonde wig and remain physically anonymous when she performed, staking her fortune on the power of her songs alone.
Over recent years, Furler has taken a similarly strategic approach to her art, standing back and analysing the trends of the moment to isolate the components of a hit song. Her 2014 album, 1000 Forms of Fear, saw her showcase the formula she’d developed working for others. She’d figured out that you need to take one evocative word – “umbrella,” say, or “firework” – and spin it into a three-minute metaphor, with some added musical whoosh, designed to take the singer on a journey from “victim to victor”. It was a personal narrative with which she identified – having struggled with addiction and mental illness for many years following the death of her boyfriend the late Nineties.

How her audience has grown exponentially and the backwards-facing interview

Sometimes, Sia Furler writes songs in gibberish. During an August appearance on E!’s since-defunct late-night show Chelsea Lately, the fame-phobic singer-songwriter offered a peek into her creative process: scatting nonsense noises like “squidly-doo” and “blah-blah-blahhh,” wiggling her head, shaking the ends of her bright-blonde bob, and eventually connecting the words “bye-ayy-ayy” to “diamonds in the sky,” all while turned away from the camera.
The studio audience, who could only see the back of Sia’s head, cheered and chortled at her babbling. “If [the song] starts with just ‘scoobidy-boo,’ that means it’s a hit,” Sia explained, still chuckling, clawing the air as if to grab an invisible, floating turn of phrase. Naturally, the talk show’s host was curious as to how Sia crafted “Diamonds,” a mammoth 2012 single she wrote for Rihanna’s seventh LP, Unapologetic. Since then, the prolific Australian’s audience has grown exponentially, resulting in a backwards-facing (and slightly discomfiting) interview about songwriting.

Successful Collaborations and that trademark-severe sunshine-blond bob wig

In the case of the self-protective 39-year-old Australian singer-songwriter Sia, who hasn't shown her face in a magazine or during a live performance since 2013, what remains in the public consciousness is a kind of trademark severe sunshine-blond bob wig—and a sensational voice. For almost two decades, Sia (born Sia Furler) has had success (and performed in public) in her native Down Under, as well as in the U.S. and Europe—recording with the band Zero 7 and, from 1997, as a solo artist. This recent move toward privacy preceded the enormous, and perhaps not entirely unrelated, smash hit of her 2014 album 1000 Forms of Fear. Continuing her past work of laying emotional vocals over electro-pop beats, Fear is loaded with Sia's signature catchy, dancey anthems and animated by her deep, playful, and powerful mezzo-soprano. Working with actors, including Kristen Wiig, who performed "Chandelier" as a Sia-esque character in said wig at the Grammys this past February, as well as Shia LaBeouf and the young dancer Maddie Ziegler, who starred in the music videos for both "Elastic Heart" and "Chandelier," Sia has created a visual accompaniment for her music on stage and screen that confronts our utter devotion to the avatar-industrial complex. Is it a gimmick? "For sure," she says, but it is also an attempt to retain some sense of normalcy in her life. Along with this new burst of popularity have come the offers, and Sia has recently collaborated with Kanye West (on "Wolves") and contributed a song to the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack.

Smash-hit "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" for humble girl from Adelaide

By now, everyone knows who Sia Furler is. Her smash-hit "Chandelier" threw her onto the music map last year and she's been steadily topping charts around the globe since then. Her latest song, "Elastic Heart," has another film clip that's taken on a life of its own, with Maddie Ziegler and Shia LeBeouf holding starring roles.
For the uninitiated, you might be surprised to learn that Sia's been working in the industry for over 20 years. That she's only becoming mega-star famous now is probably amusing to her long-standing fans, but we're here to give you a crash course on this humble girl from Adelaide, who has just stolen the show at the 2015 Grammys. Keep reading for 33 facts you may not have known about Sia.

http://www.theguardian.com/music/sia-furler

Childhood in Adelaide Australia 

Childhood: Sia was born in Adelaide, Australia to Phil Colson and Loene Furler and was part of the acid jazz group Crisp. The band released two albums, entitled Word and the Deal and Delirium. Following her work with the band, Sia released her debut solo album, entitled OnlySee. However, it was not until she moved to the UK that she gained any notable recognition for her talents.

Career: Sia signed to the DancePool record label, a subsidiary of Sony, in 2000. Her major label debut album was named Healing Is Difficult. A number of underground club hits came from the album, such as 'Drink To Get Drunk' and 'Little Man'. 'Little Man' was remixed by the UK garage artist Wookie and was a popular club hit. She also sampled Prokofiev's 'Dance of the Knights' for the song 'Taken For Granted'. Following a dispute with her label, Sia left them and signed a new deal with Go! Beat Records, a subsidiary label of UMG.

Sia - The Brains Behind the Hits!

Sia, 39, is one of the biggest musical geniuses in Hollywood. The brains behind many hits from Beyonce, Rihanna, and Britney Spears, Sia is a seasoned pro in the industry. She’s modest, too, as one thing is very apparent — the Australian singer/songwriter hates showing her face, even when she’s nominated for huge awards like a Grammy. Here’s why she hides her visage.
The “Elastic Heart” singer wrote an op-ed for Billboard in October 2013 called “My Anti-Fame Manifesto (By Sia Furler)” where she addressed why she hides her face from the spotlight. Yes, it has everything to do with hating fame.

Almost 20 years of very few live interviews means her art - nothing else - won the day

For nearly twenty years, Sia Furler has been treating music lovers to some of the finest vocals ever, whilst remaining one of the most notoriously reclusive artists in the entire history of music. Even on the heels of her chart topping single “Chandelier,” and her high profile collaborations with artists like Eminem and Kanye West, she continues to rarely give interviews, and hasn’t played a public, live set of her own music since 2011. Thankfully for fans, the last week has brought news that she is considering ending her self-imposed live hiatus, and also has her next album ready for release.
Though she usually takes two or three years between albums, the singer revealed that 2014’s “1000 Forms Of Fear” was basically only done to get out of her publishing contract. Stating that she “didn’t want to get famous,” she also apparently kept her favorite songs OFF that album, and is planning to release them this year on a record likely called "This Is Acting".

Who is Banksy?

"Banksy" is undoubtedly the UK's most infamous graffiti artist. Even after so many years of fame, and a host of exhibitions around the world, he does not make many public appearances, and few people actually know him for who he is. This level of mystery has meant that the hype surrounding his art has just kept growing.

Maybe, Banksy's most iconic and often referred to work is in Palestine and Israel. We refer to the famous, so-called "Flower Thrower" graffiti which shows a young man with his face masked, preparing to throw. We would expect to see him throwing a rock or a flaming bottle but it is neither. It is a bouquet of flowers.

(c) Dane Via Flckr Banksy Throwing Flowers (CC)

Another famous example is on the wall of the West Bank barrier, there he painted a ladder with a boy playing at its foot. It is called "Escapism." It was as long ago as 2005, when Banksy sprayed a total of nine graffiti-paintings in the locality. Another well-known example in this set, shows a little girl patting down an Israeli soldier, searching him for weapons.

Watch our Banksy video, made specially for this article:


This Graffiti artist was born in England, and is possibly the greatest name in the graffiti circle. He is popular for his depiction of dark humour via graffiti. Look upon his works as great examples of political and social commentary in the context of the time. He was one of the first to popularize a stenciling method for the production of his art, this is what enables him to create his images quickly and easily, and usually un-noticed.

When you look deeply at his images, they most of the time convey a satirical message. An idea is presented to the viewer in a unique manner. That is a stamp of great art. But, his work is not loved by all. He has been seen as anti-capitalist and he is certainly in many way anti the established political ideas. Most people find that his graffiti is worth looking at, and that the message is worthy of thought.

Banksy has done filming/ and has produced his own videos. He says that editing the films together is an exhausting process, and has said that he spent a year on one.

Banksy's creations first emerged from the Bristol underground scene. it was an artistic community which evolved from collaborations between local artists and musicians. It is interesting that many people have said that his graffiti style is similar to another artist known as Blek le Rat, who's work with stencils began in Paris, back in 1981. When asked though Banksy has said that his inspiration has been mostly by another graffiti artist known simply as "3D". This person later became a founding member of Massive Attack, an English pop group.

Banksy's stencils include striking and also funny pictures periodically incorporated with slogans. The message is typically against war/ pacifist, anti-capitalist and/ or anti-establishment. Topics commonly consist of mice/ rats, apes, cops, soldiers, kids, as well as the elderly.

(c)   Gareth Via Flckr Banksys Beach Boys  (CC)

At the beginning he just showed up, or at the very least his graffiti did, in Bristol, a city in the UK. His popularity came to him initially by his repainting technique using his hallmark stencil-pattern methods, on very public buildings.

Banksy held an exhibition called Barely Legal, it was billed as a "3 day vandalised warehouse extravaganza" in Los Angeles. The event featured a live "elephant in a room," painted in a pink and gold floral wallpaper pattern, which, according to brochures handed out at the exhibit, was intended to underscore a feeling of concern for worldwide hardship among the poor.

Although the Animal Services Department had issued a license for the elephant, after problems from animal rights lobbyists, the elephant appeared unpainted on the final day. Its proprietors denied all claims of mis-treatment and also stated that the elephant had done "several, lots of films. Banksy likewise made artwork showing Queen Victoria as a lesbian and also satirical items that included fine-art made by Andy Warhol and in addition even Leonardo da Vinci.

(c) Bruce Krasting Via Flckr Banksy-graffiti-street-art-thug-for-life (CC)

Banksy has actually published a "manifesto" on his internet site. The content of the manifesto is credited as the diary access of one Lieutenant Colonel Mervin Willett Gonin, DSO, which is shown in the Imperial War Museum. It describes just how a shipment of lipstick to the Bergen Belsen concentration camp instantly after its freedom at the end of World War II helped the internees reclaim their humankind. However, as of 18 January 2008, Banksy's Manifesto was replaced with Graffiti Heroes No. 03 which described Peter Chappell's graffiti pursuit of the 1970s that worked to campaign for freeing George Davis during his jail time. By 12 August 2009 he was relying on Emo Philips. When h was a youngster he used to hope every evening for a brand-new bicycle. After a while he says he decided God doesn't function through doing this, so he swiped one and hoped for forgiveness.

A handful of Banksy's creations could be seen in the motion picture Children of Men, consisting of a stenciled picture of 2 police officers kissing and also one more stencil of a kid overlooking a store.
Banksy was also accepted to have created the 2010 the Simpsons episode "MoneyBart," depicting individuals operating in awful problems and utilizing endangered or mythical pets making both the episodes cel by cel and the merchandise connected with the program. His name appears numerous times throughout the episode's opening credits listing, as spray repainted on diverse wall surfaces and signs. Fox sanitised parts of the episodes positions "for preference", and to make it less grim.

(c) Chris Devers Banksy in Boston: F̶O̶L̶L̶O̶W̶ ̶Y̶O̶U̶R̶ ̶D̶R̶E̶A̶M̶S̶ CANCELLED (CC)

In January 2011, Banksy published the original storyboard on its site. According to Banksy, the storyboard "led to delays, disagreements over broadcast criteria and an endangered walk out by the computer animation division." Executive director Al Jean amusingly claimed, "This is what you end up with when you contract out".

Banksy has self-published several books that contain pictures of his art in various nations as well as a few of his canvas job and also events, accompanied by his very own works.

Banksy's workmanship has actually taken him both around the UK, and also abroad. However, several of his most "popular" pieces remain in London and also there are various other works associated with him considerably further afield.

Banksy canvas prints can be bought from a wide variety of sources nowadays as well as it is now feasible to include a touch of the Banksy witticism into your individual living spaces. Improvements in the canvas printing process (the dye sublimation process is taken into consideration above the inkjet or "giclee" technique of printing), indicates that you could now get yourself a high quality Banksy print for an extremely cost effective rate.

In May 2011 Banksy released a lithographic print which revealed a smoking petrol bomb contained in a 'Tesco Value' container. This followed a campaign by citizens versus the opening of a Tesco Express supermarket in Banksy's assumed residence city of Bristol. Violent clashes had taken place between authorities and also demonstrators in the Stokes Croft area.

Banksy generated the poster ostensibly to generate money for protest groups in the Stokes Croft area and also to make available some cash for the legal support of those arrested during the riots. The posters were marketed specifically at the Bristol Anarchists Bookfair in Stokes Croft.

In May 2009, Banksy parted business ways with broker Steve Lazarides and announced that Pest Control, the handling service who act on his part, would be the only point of sale for new art.

On 13 June 2009, a Banksy vs Bristol Museum show opened up at Bristol City Museum as well as in the Art Gallery. For the first time it was featuring more than 100 art works, including animatronics. it Was his biggest exhibition at the time, and included a reported 78 brand-new works.

Response to the show was positive, with over 8,500 site visitors to the show on the initial weekend. Over the course of the twelve weeks, the exhibition was visited over 300,000 times. In September 2009, a Banksy work parodying the Royal Family was partially damaged by Hackney Council after they served an enforcement notification for graffiti extraction to the former address of the property owner. The mural had actually been appointed for the 2003 Blur single "Crazy Beat" and also the property owner, who had permitted it to be painted, was reported to have been in shock when she saw it was being painted-over.

The registrant of Banksy's internet site is Steve Lazarides, a photographer. Lazarides is Banksy's representative. Lazarides has had a gallery on Greek Street in London's Soho called Laz Inc, where Banksy originals can be purchased. The website http://www.picturesonwalls.com/ is said to hold the special sale rights for all of Banksy's limited version prints.

In February 2015, Banksy released a 2 minute video labelled "Make this the year YOU discover a new location" concerning his journey to Gaza Strip. During a visit he sprayed a couple of artworks consisting of a kitten on a property damaged by Israel's actions ("I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by publishing pictures on my website"). However, most online people who see this just consider them to be images of kitties.

If you are a new Banksy devotee and are seriously regarding purchasing some of his original art, be ready to browse everywhere to find it, as well as fork out a little fortune to buy it. Each one of his prints are unique number stamped as well as authorized, and also some have stamps together with other marks to make sure that you will recognize that they are authentic. Despite their scarcity, art collectors around the globe are rushing to obtain these outstanding items, specifically those that have been produced a while ago, like "Morons" (2007) and "Happy Chopper".

It is said by most people to be self-evident that Banksy is from the Bristol area. But, according to the Daily Mail, he is from an area called Yate which is a town simply a few miles north of Bristol. The area grew fast during the housing boom in the 80's and 90's at the same time as rapid growth of new housing in Bristol. So, the two have now efficiently "combined" as a part of Bristol. The Daily Mail has furthermore declared that Banksy's actual name is Robin Banks. That's a big claim. How can doubt be eliminated that this "real" name is also one composed for the event!

Whatever he is or stands for, Banksy remains the "scarlet pimpernel" of the contemporary art globe. He is well experienced in leaving trails which are fake and also propagates red herrings on purpose. Apparently, even his own agent has actually declared that he is not entirely specific of the true identification of his client.

Many people who like his work say that Banksy is among the few hopes that this world has actually got left. Following his footprints, or a minimum of aiming to make important modifications to all our futures, and for the future of young folks is something that we really have to absorb consideration of. Let's hope his influence will help the world change for the better before is too late and this world goes down the drainpipe.
