Ashlee Simpson - Brian Smith Photoshoot - HQ.

noreply@blogger.com (dens) — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 07:18:00 +0000

Ashlee Simpson is in a good place. She has two multi-platinum records that debuted back to back at the top of the charts, and collectively sold more than four million copies in the U.S. alone. She has two sold-out tours under her belt, a tight-knit family, a loyal fan base, and a burgeoning second career as an actress. So when it came time to create her third album, she wanted the music to represent where she was at in life.

“Life is really good right now. I’m young. I love my life and I enjoy my time off too. I wanted to celebrate all that on my next record,” says Ashlee, who has been tinkering with BITTERSWEET WORLD on and off since summer 2007. “I wanted to make music people could shake their booties to and use beats for the first time. I wanted to sing fun songs. Basically, I wanted to make a party record.”

And when an artist wants to get the party started, who better to call than Timbaland? The producing powerhouse, who helped shape recent smash hits by Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, toiled on half of the tracks (including "Murder," "Out of My Head (Ay Ya Ya)," "Ragdoll," and "Rule Breaker") while the rest were guided by the Neptunes’ Chad Hugo and critically acclaimed Ethiopian synth-hop savant Kenna.

“The room was so blessed with talent. I was very lucky to work with people who are at the top of their game. I was nervous the first time I walked into their studios, but they quickly became like protective big brothers to me and encouraged me to just go with the flow and do whatever my heart felt was right in the booth. They’d come up with beats and I’d come up with a melody. Everyone worked together and if you had an idea, you would just spit it out and see if it stuck. I knew they wouldn’t let me sound stupid and that made me go for it even more. They create an easygoing, fun vibe everywhere they go.”

She quickly learned that hip-hop heroes move at a different pace than pop stars. “I have never worked until 4 a.m. before. I wouldn’t go in until late in the afternoon and then we’d work until the wee hours of morning if we had it in us. I started bringing a blanket with me. I got a little loopy and punchy late at night, which affected some of the songs. It was so cool for me to be able to step outside of the way I had always done it before and try new things.”

The album’s lead single, “Little Miss Obsessive,” returns the artist to her pop/rock roots and features guest vocals from the Plain White T’s Tom Higgenson. With another track on the album, “Murder,” don’t let the somber title fool you. The 23-year-old has not gone gangsta.

“No, it isn’t serious, based on a true story or a threat,” she explains laughing. “It’s a metaphor about a girl who can get away with murder because of who she is. The lyrics should be followed by an exaggerated evil laugh.” She also touches on the cattiness of girls on “Hot Stuff,” a coquette-ish sassiness on “Boys” and how fun it is to sometimes do the wrong thing on “Rule Breaker.” She was trying “to capture that badass feeling you get sometimes after watching a movie like True Romance. You think you can take on the world and you want to color outside the lines and get a tattoo or mouth off to someone way bigger than you.”

Her personal favorite is the slow jam “Never Dream Alone,” because “it is a sweet emotional song that has been stripped down to piano, strings and vocals.”

The old saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” also applies despite the fresh techniques and talent. For instance, she still lights tons of candles and brings in a few dolls to make the space more comfortable. She also wrote or co-wrote every track and the final product is a mix of ballads, radio-friendly anthems and dance floor ditties per usual.

“I never want to be handed a song to sing. I don’t work that way. This is my art and it’s personal. If someone else writes the song without my input, it doesn’t feel honest.”

Ashlee continues to cull from her own experiences or things she witnesses those around her weathering for lyrical subject matter, but says most verses aren’t as literal as they have been on past singles. “Lyrically this album is a bit more abstract and quirky than my past stuff was although I’m still singing about things I’ve gone through or friends went through. The topics are diverse and universal so I think people will be able to fit the songs into their own lives too.”

Her favorite collaborative partner is still her childhood friend/band guitarist Ray Brady. “I trust him completely. He plays on every track and is my sounding board. We sit in a corner writing and working out alternative versions to play live. He’s always introducing me to new music that helps me evolve as an artist.” One such act Brady brought into her life was Missing Persons and Ashlee’s never been the same. “I love those strong women from the late ‘70s and ‘80s. They are strong and vulnerable simultaneously, yet they still make you want to dance. Women like Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar have really inspired my music for the last two years and you will definitely be reminded of that era when you listen to the new album.” Her tribute to the rock-pop goddesses who came before her stops short at fist-shaking dance moves. “There will be no synchronized choreography or fog machine on the next tour. I’m inspired by the ‘80s, not living them,” she assures. “When it comes time to tour, I’ll still experiment with different or acoustic versions of songs. I hate when I go to concerts and it’s like I could’ve stayed home and listened to the CD and gotten the same experience. I wouldn’t feel right doing that to people who shell out money to see me.”

The veteran of two sold-out tours can’t wait to get back on the road again. “That’s my favorite part of the job. I love playing live and seeing up close and personal how your music affects other people. I love seeing the reactions on fan faces and hearing them sing along. I want them to go on this journey with me.”

Her last taste of life on stage came in 2006 as she took on the lead role of Roxie Hart in London’s West End production of “Chicago” to critical acclaim, and following in the footsteps of such greats as Ann Reinking who originally made the part famous on Broadway. To date, Ashlee is the youngest person to ever tackle the role of ‘Roxie’ and she did it with a grace and aplomb that she was invited to join the likes of Brooke Shields, Melanie Griffith, Rita Wilson, Chita Rivera, Bebe Neuwirth, Joel Grey and Reinking in a special one-night only 10th anniversary benefit performance of Chicago on Broadway. Previous credits also include the independent feature film Undiscovered about a crop of young talents in the making, and appearances on 7th Heaven, Malcolm in the Middle, and Saved By The Bell.

Now with accolades such as Billboard Artist of the Year (2004), two Teen Choice Awards, countless magazine covers and appearances and performances on shows as varied as MTV Video Music Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and the American Music Awards to her credit, and an exciting new album to look forward to, no doubt the future will continue to be bright for Ashlee Simpson. "The most important thing is that this is something I really enjoy doing," she says. "I love creating and participating in projects people can connect to.”

Lauren Holly PhotoShoot.

noreply@blogger.com (dens) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:37:00 +0000

Biography

When Lauren Michael Holly was born in Bristol, Pennsylvania, in 1963, it seemed inevitable that the young girl would end up being a college professor or perhaps a teacher, but certainly not an actress. With both of her parents working as professors at esteemed Northeastern arts colleges, it seemed hard to believe that she would follow any other path.

When she enrolled at the prestigious Sarah Lawrence College to pursue an Arts degree in English literature, it seemed as though the junior Holly was on track to follow the seniors.

Holly goes to hollywood

After graduating in 1985, Lauren made the risky decision to move to Los Angeles and pursue her dream of becoming an actress. It took a little less than a year of paying her dues before she landed a role on the soap opera, All My Children. After an extremely successful three-year run as Julie Rand Chandler, Lauren landed her first starring role as Betty Cooper in the feature length made-for-TV movie, Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again.

Her small-screen projects helped her make a name for herself, and she was given the chance to prove her ability on the big screen in the Andrew Dice Clay cult-classic, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. As with most cult classics, the film was far from a box-office smash. Rather than let the film force her into obscurity, Lauren returned to television in 1992 as Maxine Lacos on the critically acclaimed series, Picket Fences.

With seven years of acting experience under her belt, Lauren was still waiting for her chance at a breakout role. In 1993, her prayers were answered as she was given the chance to play Linda Lee, wife of Bruce Lee, in the highly successful biopic, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Her portrayal garnered her critical acclaim and granted her the luxury of finally being able to pick and choose her roles. One role she passed on was opposite a former TV comic in the slapstick comedy that later became, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. After she passed, Courteney Cox took her place and quickly became a star.

Making a dumb choice

The following year, when Lauren was given another chance to star opposite the upstart Canadian comic in the gross-out comedy, Dumb and Dumber, she jumped at the opportunity. The film was a box-office smash and grossed over $200 million worldwide, and has been by far her most successful project. It was on the set of this production that she fell in love with Jim Carrey, whom she eventually married in 1996 and in true Hollywood fashion, divorced one year later.

Career wise, it seems as though Jim was her good luck charm. He was responsible for her most successful film, and while the two were dating she made Beautiful Girls and Sabrina, some of her more critically successful work. By late 1996, her marriage already starting to disintegrate, she appeared in the bombs Down Periscope and Turbulence.

We'd take her any given day

Since then, Lauren has found success by playing supporting roles in major movies like Any Given Sunday and What Women Want. She has also started to take on starring roles in low budget and more artistic productions. Lauren also returned home to television, with a recurring character on the hit drama Chicago Hope, and a starring role in the Women of Camelot miniseries.

As for her personal life, Lauren remarried in March of 2001 to investment banker Francis Greco (no relation to Richard), and adopted a son in June of the same year. She is still acting and has two films scheduled for release in 2002; Colored Eggs, a film adaptation of a popular play, and Don't You Cry For Me, opposite Alan Arkin.

noreply@blogger.com (dens) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:27:00 +0000

Biography

Keri Lynn Russell was born in Fountain Valley, California, on March 23, 1976. Most of her early childhood was spent living in Texas, before her parents decided to move to Mesa, Arizona. Russell took a serious interest in entertainment at an early age. At Poston Jr. High School, she discovered a passion for dancing, and soon applied for ballet and jazz dance lessons.

Her dancing skills allowed her to tour the country as a member of the Mesa Stars Dance and Drill team, where she eventually received a prestigious scholarship.

Just before she started high school, Russell's family moved to Denver, Colorado. Keri claims that she did not make many friends, which allowed her to concentrate on her performing career. She soon appeared on Star Search, where she was discovered by Disney's talent scouts.

Keri becomes a mouseketeer

In 1991, she made her debut as a "Mouseketeer" on Disney's The All New Mickey Mouse Club. The following year, Keri made her big screen debut in Honey I Blew Up the Kid, as the unlucky babysitter.

Keri Russell also starred as Andrea McKinsey in the TV series Emerald Cove, in 1993. Her first regular role was in a 1994 CBS sitcom called Daddy's Girls, but unfortunately, the show did not last very long. That same year, Russell appeared in an episode of Boy Meets World.

In 1996, Russell got her first lead role in the NBC movie The Babysitter's Seduction and landed her first television lead in Malibu Shores, one of the rare Aaron Spelling productions that was unsuccessful. In 1997, Russell starred in her second big screen film, Eight Days a Week, and in the made-for-TV movie When Innocence Is Lost. Russell also made a short appearance in the FOX series Roar and appeared in the 1998 movie Dead Man's Curve.

Keri Russell is felicity

When it was time to cast the star of Felicity, the series' creators (J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves) knew that Keri Russell was perfect for the part from the moment she arrived on the set. It was an obvious choice, as Russell's natural beauty and charm fit perfectly with "Felicity"'s character, almost as if Keri Russell was playing herself.

Keri played Felicity until the show's demise in 2002. Since then, she has added many movies to her resume, including Mad About Mambo (2000), We Were Soldiers (2002) alongside Mel Gibson, The Upside of Anger with Kevin Costner, and the TV movie The Magic of Ordinary Days (2005). In 2005, she added Butterfly, a Grimm Love Story and the miniseries Into the West to her resume, and 2006 marked Keri's appearance in Mission: Impossible III alongside Tom Cruise.

Russell resides in L.A.'s Tony Pacific Palisades suburb. Most of her free time is spent working on her other passion: photography.

During her college years (she was pursuing an Orthodontics degree), Holly Weber supported herself by waiting tables at a local restaurant and would blow off steam by hitting the hottest nightspots in nearby Las Vegas. It was at just such a club that Holly Weber was invited to dance professionally, and she soon found herself earning a handsome living as a go-go dancer.

Holly Weber in FHM and Glamour

Holly Weber’s looks and tenacity seemed to be ideally suited for a career as a model, and she began the slow process of auditioning for a variety of modeling opportunities.

She subsequently began popping up within the pages of such high-profile magazines as FHM, Muscle and Fitness, and Glamour.

Holly Weber acts in Tropic Thunder and the Ugly Truth

Holly Weber’s newfound success within the world of modeling naturally led to an interest in acting. She has since taken on small roles in a variety of movies and television shows, including parts in Ron Howard’s 2008 production Frost/Nixon.

In 2009, Holly Weber will appear in the star-studded flick The Ugly Truth costarring Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl and Cheryl Hines, as well as Crank 2: High Voltage, Fast & Furious with Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, Miss March with Molly Stanton, and The Devil's Tomb with Cuba Gooding Jr.
