  • Ava Max Could Always Envision Her Dream, She Actually Went out and Made It a Reality on Her Own
    For dreams to manifest into reality, it requires more than a fairytale wish… Truthfully, it takes hustle, heart, and a whole lot of attitude. For as much as Ava Max could always envision her dream, she actually went out and made it a reality on her own. Gathering billions of streams, multiplatinum plaques, award nominations, and acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and many more, the international phenomenon projects an unbelievable personal journey into a poignant and punchy pop opus on her full-length debut album, Heaven & Hell [APG/Atlantic Records]. “Manifesting is really important to me,” she explains. “I put positive energy into my music. I know what I want to write, and there’s a story behind each song. It’s all about working hard and putting your heart and soul into it.” She started doing so as a kid. Prior to her birth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Ava’s parents emigrated from Albania to the United States. Without speaking a word of English, mom and dad held down three jobs each. However, both parents retained a passion for music. Among her earliest memories, Ava recalls her mother—a classically trained vocalist—singing opera aloud. The family relocated to Virginia where they eventually settled in their first house. Along the way, Ava clung to music, listening to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Shania Twain, to name a few. “At a very young age, I watched my parents really struggle in America,” she admits. “It was tough, and it impacted me in many ways. However, both of them always told me if they could make it here with no language and no money, then I could make it.” While in Virginia, she dove headfirst into music with the family staunchly behind her.

  • The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway  by Nate Jones
    The 48 Stars That People Like Less Than Anne Hathaway By Nate Jones Spend a few minutes reading blog comments, and you might assume that Anne Hathaway’s approval rating falls somewhere between that of Boko Haram and paper cuts — but you'd actually be completely wrong. According to E-Poll likability data we factored into Vulture's Most Valuable Stars list, the braying hordes of Hathaway haters are merely a very vocal minority. The numbers say that most people actually like her. Even more shocking? Who they like her more than. In calculating their E-Score Celebrity rankings, E-Poll asked people how much they like a particular celebrity on a six-point scale, which ranged from "like a lot" to "dislike a lot." The resulting Likability percentage is the number of respondents who indicated they either "like" Anne Hathaway or "like Anne Hathaway a lot." Hathaway's 2014 Likability percentage was 67 percent — up from 66 percent in 2013 — which doesn't quite make her Will Smith (85 percent), Sandra Bullock (83 percent), Jennifer Lawrence (76 percent), or even Liam Neeson (79 percent), but it does put her well above plenty of stars whose appeal has never been so furiously impugned on Twitter. Why? Well, why not? Anne Hathaway is a talented actress and seemingly a nice person. The objections to her boiled down to two main points: She tries too hard, and she's overexposed. But she's been absent from the screen since 2012'sLes Misérables, so it's hard to call her overexposed now. And trying too hard isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when you consider the alternative.

  • Variety Announces This Year's 10 Actors to Watch
    VARIETY ANNOUNCES THIS YEAR’S 10 ACTORS TO WATCH Marks Five Years of Collaboration With The Hamptons International Film Festival Variety is pleased to announce its annual list of 10 Actors to Watch, an honor the publication has bestowed since 1998. Past honorees include many future Oscar winners and nominees such as Viola Davis, Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Brie Larson, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael Shannon and Melissa Leo. This year’s honorees will be feted in the Oct. 4 issue of Variety, in conjunction with coverage of the Hamptons International Film Festival, which runs Oct. 6-10.

"As we have seen our previous honorees blossom over the years, with just this year Brie Larson and Alicia Vikander both taking home Academy Awards, we know this class has a bright future ahead of them." Added Vice President/Executive Editor of Variety Steven Gaydos, “As the Fall film awards season approaches, there may be questions about which films will ultimately shine as prize winners, but there is no doubt that once again this year's releases feature astounding new talents filled with creative courage and unlimited ‎potential for bright careers.

  • New Orleans Nostalgia
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard True Bohemian Rhapsody The true “Bohemian Rhapsody” is neither “Caprice Bohémien” by Rachmaninoff, nor is it the 1975 hit by the rock group Queen. Freddie Mercury and Queen provided the world with its extremely popular (yet intensely cryptic) “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a stream-of-consciousness nightmare of a song that offered lyrics like: “I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?” Research indicates that “Bohemian Rhapsody” is the second most played song on British radio and jukeboxes, and in clubs collectively, after “A Whiter Shade of Pale” by Procol Harum. Could it be because both songs incorporate the word “fandango” into their lyrics? But is there a song more truly worthy of the title “Bohemian Rhapsody”, especially in a place that has been called America’s most Bohemian city? And how was it that Carnegie Mellon University professor Richard Florida (author of “The Rise of the Creative Class”) gave New Orleans a fairly low standing in his “Bohemian Index”? How could it be that the Crescent City (with its French Quarter, musicians, writers, artists, eccentric characters, jazz and funky vibe) ranked below Salt Lake City? And why the beaucoup boo hoos over such a low boho rating (41st out of the 49 largest metro areas)? These questions will soon be answered. Bohemians refer, of course, to the inhabitants of the former Kingdom of Bohemia, located in the modern day Czech Republic. Their leader back in the day was “Good King Wenceslas”, Duke of Bohemia, who cruised around Prague in the early tenth century.
