  • The Best Totally-Not-Planned 'Shockers'
    Style Blog The best totally-not-planned ‘shockers’ in the history of the VMAs By Lavanya Ramanathan August 30 If you have watched a music video in the past decade, you probably did not watch it on MTV, a network now mostly stuck in a never-ending loop of episodes of “Teen Mom.” This fact does not stop MTV from continuing to hold the annual Video Music Awards, and it does not stop us from tuning in. Whereas this year’s Grammys were kind of depressing, we can count on the VMAs to be a slightly morally objectionable mess of good theater. (MTV has been boasting that it has pretty much handed over the keys to Miley Cyrus, this year’s host, after all.) [VMAs 2015 FAQ: Where to watch the show, who’s performing, red carpet details] Whether it’s “real” or not doesn’t matter. Each year, the VMAs deliver exactly one ugly, cringe-worthy and sometimes actually surprising event that imprints itself in our brains, never to be forgotten. Before Sunday’s show — and before Nicki Minaj probably delivers this year’s teachable moment — here are just a few of those memorable VMA shockers. 1984: Madonna sings about virginity in front of a black­tie audience It was the first VMAs, Bette Midler (who?) was co-hosting and the audience back then was a sea of tux-wearing stiffs. This is all-important scene-setting for a groundbreaking performance by young Madonna, who appeared on the top of an oversize wedding cake in what can only be described as head-to-toe Frederick’s of Hollywood.

  • Californication Biography Song List What We Play
    Californication Biography about us Established in early 2004, Californication ­ the all new Red Hot Chili Peppers Show, aims to deliver Australia’s tribute to one of the world’s most popular and distinguishable bands: the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Californication recreates an authentic and live experience that is, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers themselves first came to prominence 20 years ago by fusing funk, rock and rap music styles through their many ground­breaking albums. A typical 90 minute show performed by Californication includes all the big hits and smash anthems that have made the Chili Peppers such an enduring global act.

Fronted by Johnny, the vocalist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Show captures all the stage antics and high energy required to emulate Anthony Kiedis, while the rest of the band carry out the very essence of the Red Hot Chili Peppers through the attention of musical detail and a stunning visual performance worthy of the famous LA­based quartet. And now, exclusively supported by the exciting, up­coming party band Big Way Out, you can be guaranteed an enjoyable night’s worth of entertainment.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • INTRODUCTION Hello, Bitches! Perez Hilton, the Queen of All Media, Here!
    INTRODUCTION Hello, bitches! Perez Hilton, the Queen of All Media, here! I wouldn’t be a self-proclaimed Hilton without penning a book of my own, now, would I? After all, I went through my own rite of passage and gained access to the crazy, sensational celebrity world. But I thought to myself, “Why should I have all the fun?” Like Paris, I’d like to make this world a hotter place. So this book, my friends, was writ- ten for you. In these pages, I’ll show you what it takes to reach celebrity status, and how, with a few wobbly steps and a case of Astroglide, you too can be a hilton! I don’t mean that you should be a street-corner whore (but you’re definitely getting warmer!). No, what I mean is, you can live like the rich, famous, and utterly depraved without even an ounce of talent or dignity. Tired Reid is a good example of a hilton success story. I can’t even remember the last real work she’s done. After all those horrible movies, train-wreck media appearances, and documented drunken partying, you’d think she’d be banned from Hollywood forever. But somehow she still finds her way into magazines and is even popular in Australia! How can someone who’s made suicide moves to her “career”—on the red carpet, no less—still get attention? It’s because she be- longs to the Hilton generation of Hollywood, and for these hiltons, scandalous behavior is actually not a suicide attempt at all.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • GOSSIP SELLS the GOODS Celebrities and the Paparazzi Are Now in the Business Plan
    GOSSIP SELLS THE GOODS Celebrities and the paparazzi are now in the business plan BY ANNE KINGSTON (MACLEAN’S AUG.4 ’08) Before last Wednesday, few people had heard of plainmary.com, a website selling posh baby gear. By week's end, the site had more than two million hits and had received orders from as far away as Dubai. Credit a tiny item in Rush & Molloy, a gossip column in the New York Daily News, that reported Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had, six weeks earlier, ordered two of its US $190monogrammed mats for their then‐ unborn twins. What made the story buzz‐worthy was the news one of the mats had been ordered for "Rex Leon," not "Knox Leon," as their latest little boy is named, suggesting a last‐minute change of mind. The source of this breaking news? That would be Andy Behrman, plainmary.com's publicist, who learned gossip fundamentals writing for New York magazine. "It's critical for a company like plain mary to have celebrity associations," he says. "I mean who gives a s‐‐t about a plain mary baby mat? But, all of a sudden, if the tush of a sainted Jolie‐Pitt is peeing on this $190 microfibre mat, that's a $10,000 mat that we'll see on eBay shortly." Behrman comes to the job having sharpened his tabloid incisors repping Petit Trésor, the celebrity‐gossip‐fuelled Los Angeles purveyor of baby paraphernalia recently hyped in People's gushing coverage of Jennifer Lopez's Versailles‐style nursery. Its two stores have become go‐to destinations for paparazzi seeking "baby bumps," and the celebrities vying for their attention.
