In honor of the twentieth anniversary of the death of Princess Diana, a cornucopia of articles have been published eulogizing the late princess and talking about the “legacy” of the former Princess of Wales. This renewed interest was partially fueled by the timely release of the documentary titled Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, where Princes William and Harry talk about their late mother. Many of these articles talked about the late Princess Diana as a person who is ubiquitously well known and requires no introduction, but after twenty years of her passing, many younger people do not know who was Princess Diana and others who do cannot understand the fascination with the deceased princess.
In 1997, her death in a car crash shocked the world, but as a five-year-old in 1997 her death did not have much impact. I faintly remember the news coverage and was only aware of the importance of her death because my mother started crying upon hearing the news. Considering my mother rarely cried my five-year-old brain thought the lady on the television screen was a member of the family.
It took several years for me to understand Princess Diana’s celebrity status. My curiosity peeked when my sixth-grade history teacher showed a video cassette recording of Prince Charles and Diana’s royal wedding. At the time, my teacher explained she was showing the recording to connect the “past to present” and show students that the kings, queens, princes, and princesses we were learning about still exist in the modern day. As a sixth grader, I thought that was a good reason to watch the wedding recording, but as an adult, I am sure my history teacher was more fascinated with the royal wedding as a fan girl than as an educator.
My teacher’s fascination was not uncommon. Adult women always seemed to have this melancholy admiration for Princess Diana. I remember my mom, older sister, aunts, and older female cousins all at one point gushing about the princess’ fashion sense and beauty. I also noticed men were equally infatuated, but for different reasons. Everyone older than me seemed to be bewitched by the memory of this woman.
Part of me wonders if part of the fascination is fueled by the sadness of one passing so young. Like John F. Kennedy, James Dean, and Elvis Presley before her, those that pass before their time are forever crystallized in our memory as souls unjustly taken by death. Not just celebrities get this treatment. Everyday people that die in their younger years are also remembered with that special sentiment. There is just something about a young person dying that tortures our soul, but more so if that person is a celebrity or in Diana’s case an attractive and controversial former Princess.
In 2007, with the tenth anniversary of Princess Diana’s death, Diana’s story was once again on TV screens everywhere. Now fifteen years old, I could better appreciate the story of Princess Diana. I remember watching the docudrama Diana: Last Days of a Princess and feeling a deep sadness and connection with the woman depicted on screen. That weekend, I looked up on YouTube old interviews and came across the now infamous interview the Princess gave to Martin Bashir. To say I was hooked on the drama surrounding her time as Princess of Wales is an understatement. I finally understood why the world was so personally invested in her story and mourned her loss so passionately.
As a young girl, I came to admire her as a style icon. Her natural grace and beauty were enhanced by her elegant style. She was so much like the beautiful and elegant Hollywood actresses I admired like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh and Deborah Kerr. At a time when teenage girls were being encouraged dress trashier and more revealing by the media, the timeless elegance of someone like Princess Diana impressed me. When spaghetti strap dresses and tank tops were in vogue, I wanted to wear conservative dresses and tailored tops. My choice in style did not make me popular with my peers, but I soon discovered that respect is garnered when you dress like a lady. It goes without saying; that Diana had a direct influence on my personal style to this day.
Diana was also accessible. Her way of interacting with people gave the royal family an image makeover. Her work with AIDS patients paved new roads of understanding between these patients and the community at large. After her divorce from Princess Charles, her work against the use of land mines was laudable and her popularity helped bring much-needed attention to this issue. Even after her death, the Princess Diana Memorial Fund continues her work in this area by providing grants to numerous organizations and supports the stop of use of land mines.
With that said, I find laughable some of the mythology that has developed surrounding the princess. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s “People’s Princess” sobriquet made famous in a speech following the Princess’ death is preposterous considering her lineage. Diana was born into one of the most aristocratic families in Great Britain, the Spencer Family. She was boarding and finishing school educated and as a child often played with Princes Edward and Andrew.
Her reputation as a “commoner” probably developed when she was a kindergarten school teacher at the time of her courtship with Prince Charles, but she was the farthest thing from a commoner. Also, she was not this so-called “victim of the royal family.” Diana was not fully prepared for the media firestorm that would surround her and Prince Charles upon their engagement and eventual marriage, but this befuddlement quickly passed.
Diana would eventually understand her power and influence with the media and harnessed that power to use against the royal family, that she believed slighted her from the start, husband, and his mistress and now wife, Camilla Bowles. The extensive list of interviews and leaks to the media show Diana to be a savvy media manipulator who reinvented the way royals and the media interact. By no means was this woman a shy wallflower.
Piers Morgan corroborated Diana’s capacity for media manipulation in a recent article. In that article, we can see the media’s unwilling fascination through Pier’s recollections of his interactions with the princess. Essentially, the media loved to hate Diana. Unfortunately, that “love” may have been the decisive factor in her death as her chauffeur raced through the streets of Paris trying to escape the paparazzi.
Twenty years from now, I am sure we will still be talking about Diana. Her memory will continue to be treasured by the people of Great Britain and the world because her story continues to fascinate. For all the talk of legacy, her biggest legacy will be how her royally unorthodox way of raising her boys, William and Henry, will change the face of the British monarchy. Diana’s sons are the best hope for the future and perpetuity of the British Royal Family.
It is a shame that Diana did not meet her grandchildren. I am sure she would have been a doting grandmother. It will be interesting to see how Diana’s granddaughter, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana will be compared to her famous granny. The comparisons have already begun since the world is already asking, “Do you think she will look like Diana?”

Lynn Harrell’s presence is felt throughout the musical world. A consummate soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, conductor and teacher, his work throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia has placed him in the highest echelon of today’s performing artists. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Piatigorsky Award and the Ford Foundation Concert Artists’ Award.
Born to musician parents, at the age of 8 Harrell decided to learn the cello. When the family moved to Dallas, TX, Lynn Harrell found an excellent teacher in Lev Aronson, the first to recognize his talent and who “showed me passion for the instrument, for music and for life” says Harrell.
After high school Harrell entered the Juilliard School, studying with the renowned Leonard Rose. Harrell then went to the Curtis Institute for further studies with Orlando Cole, who recommended that Harrell join an orchestra as preparation for his desired solo career. Harrell consulted with his godfather Robert Shaw, the choral director of the Cleveland Orchestra under conductor Georg Szell. Shaw arranged an audition for Harrell, who, at the age of 18, won a spot in the orchestra. Two years later Szell appointed him principal cellist, a position he held until 1971.
When Harrell was 27, he felt he was ready to pursue his solo career and was invited to appear as soloist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The New York Times enthused, “This young man has everything.” His career began to build and reached a decisive turning point when he won the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize, launching his solo career into the international limelight.
Maestro Harrell has become known as one of the world’s finest cellists, whose career includes associations with many of the world’s major artists. He is heard on radio stations the world over, been interviewed by classical music pundits and critics and has performed with leading ensembles and orchestras in every corner of the globe.
From the Americas to Asia, Harrell continues to lead master classes around the world. Harrell has taught at music schools and conservatories, including the Royal Academy of Music in London and USC Thornton School of Music and Aspen Music Festival.
Before an audience that included Pope John Paul II and the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Harrell played solo cello in the historic 1994 Vatican concert dedicated to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, with the Royal Philharmonic conducted by Gilbert Levine.
Harrell has appeared on the Grammy® Awards broadcast, performing with Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman and has won two Grammy Awards for Best Chamber Music Performance.
His extensive discography of over 70 recordings include the complete Bach Cello Suites, numerous premieres of new works, and collaborations with the world’s foremost artists.
Lynn Harrell made his acting debut in the acclaimed award-winning short dramatic film, “Cello,” (2017) portraying the lead character, a cellist with ALS, and the choices he faces. The film and soundtrack, written by composer Randy Kerber, has garnered numerous national and international film and music awards that include premieres at renowned festivals in New York, Vancouver, Milan, London and Rome. The film was named the official selection in the 14th Annual Chinese American Film Festival in October 2018.
Harrell previously played a 1720 Montagnana cello he bought with the proceeds of his parents’ estate and also a 1673 Antonio Stradivarius cello that belonged to the late British cellist Jacqueline du Pré. His current instrument is a 2008 cello by Christopher Dungey.

Originally written for The Occidental.
Home Fries, a delightfully off-kilter romantic comedy, opens Thanksgiving weekend. See what some of the stars have to say about the film and themselves…
Drew Barrymore, who takes on the lead role of Sally in Home Fries, is remembered for everything from her role in E.T. to her turbulent adolescence. Barrymore said she is drawn to people like Sally in real life, because “she’s so optimistic, and I just love that. It’s so refreshing…” But playing a character who is eight months pregnant wasn’t easy. Not only did she have to constantly remember to use the right body language (“The thing I did every day and never forgot to do was to constantly stick my butt out and walk with my legs apart.”) but she also had to wear a particularly uncomfortable strap-on belly. Still, she said she always remembered, “when you’re really pregnant, you don’t get to take that off at night. As uncomfortable as it was, I knew I had it good.”
In one of those odd cases of art meeting life, Barrymore became romantically involved with Luke Wilson, who plays her romantic interest in Home Fries, shortly before the film went into production. When asked about working with her boyfriend, she said, “it was great! Although, on the set we’re total professionals. I don’t even think you’d know we were boyfriend-girlfriend. Because we’re there to do a job, we’re basically employees, and happy to be doing … You want to do a good job, and that’s the first priority, not your relationship.”
Barrymore said she likes acting in part because it gives her a break from her constant awareness of the environment and others. “You get to go into a film and wear leather and murder people, it’s really interesting, it’s such a break from the norm. It’s fun that I get to go and express myself in those different ways, which I think gives me all the more energy to take those breaks… I feel like my greatest days or the days when I’m happiest in life is when I’m doing philanthropic work.”
With Telling Lies in America and Bottle Rocket under his belt, Luke Wilson plays the hero of Home Fries, Dorian Montier. He sums his character up easily, “I definitely think of Dorian as one of those characters that’s kind of a reactor, he’s not exactly driving the action, he’s an ordinary guy that gets put in these extraordinary circumstances.”
When asked about his relationship with Drew Barrymore, he said their relationship wasn’t a problem on the set: “as long as you’re getting along, it’s nice to work with someone you know well.”
One particularly memorable scene in the film includes Dorian dressed up in the mascot of the burger joint he works at — a giant robot named “Buzz.” Wilson said, “putting on the Buzz Burgermatic (costume) was one of those things where I read it in the script, and I thought,


Frida Kahlo’s impact on the 21st century’s artistic realm is undeniable. It is apparent in the multiple decades of artists who have followed Kahlo’s evocative dive into historic Mexican imagery, such as renowned artist and cultural commentator, Enrique Chagoya. While outside of the fine arts in fashion, Frida’s creative vision reverberates in the archives of any number of seasons that boast the weight of her influence in designers’ bold use of colour, Mexican textile tradition, and statement design. Most recently, Kahlo’s spirit has floated into designer Peter Pilotto’s robust SS13 ready-to-wear collection, the brightly-coloured, flower crowned heels of Charlotte Olympia‘s Cruise collection; and the distinct hair and makeup seen on the runway at Vivienne Westwood‘s SS13 show at London Fashion Week.
Kahlo’s name hangs thick in the air. From last November’s Vogue Mexico cover featuring Hungarian-born American photographer Nickolas Muray’s portrait of the artist from 1939 to the ongoing exhibit Appearances Can Be Deceiving: The Dresses of Frida Kahlo at the Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan (which prompted the Vogue Mexico’s cover) to Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario’s (AGO) ode to the life and work Kahlo shared with husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera, Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting, it would seem that 64 years after her death, the enigma that was Frida Kahlo continues to beg examination.
With the latter exhibit showcasing more than 80 works (paper and paintings) by Kahlo and Rivera, one quarter of Kahlo’s entire body of work and a wide range of Rivera’s painting styles including his famed murals hang alongside photos documenting the couple’s story, taken by celebrated friends such as the aforementioned Murray. The exhibit is rare opportunity for Kahlo enthusiasts to explore the passion and politics that charged her vision as an artist, and the relationship that cultivated both essentials in her life.
For Montreal-based jewelry designer Julia Vallelunga of the La Raffinerie accessory label, Kahlo has been an inspiration both as a woman and an artist. “Frida Kahlo had a very unique style, especially for the period she lived in. She had a daring style and didn’t care what people thought,” she says. The impact Kahlo’s personal style has had on Vallelunga’s vision is evident in the vibrancy of her handcrafted jewelry, as it is in the exotic whimsy of her designs. For the designer, Kahlo’s iconic display of colour and flowers strewn over her person are embedded in her creative psyche, particularly the image of the artist captured in her self-portrait, “The Frame,” which Vallelunga counts as a favourite. “Her flower crown inspired me,” she shares, as one can plainly see from the designer’s body of work, including her latest SS13 collection.
The significance of Kahlo is one that is ever expanding, a fact that is being examined under the scope of transformative political and cultural values in the AGO’s ongoing exhibit; an exhibit that also effortless presents what is impossible to hide: the late artist’s legacy as a style influencer and great challenger of conventional views of feminine beauty.
Ending January 20th (with extended hours), fans of Kahlo won’t want to miss the exhibit’s last days, or the opportunity to learn more about the relationship that inspired some of the artist’s greatest passions and the man with whom she shared her artistic, political, and life vision.

"I never called myself a Dalit singer"

At first glance, Gurkanwal Bharti appears like any other teenager -- a college student who talks animatedly about her singing idols and her dreams of making it big in Bollywood.
But the 17-year-old is possibly the biggest celebrity in a city known for its iconic Haveli Dhaba. Bharti --- known to millions of her fans as Ginni Mahi -- is the face of a wave of Dalit assertion sweeping Punjab that may change the course of assembly elections next year.
“I’m inspired by Babasaheb and Ravidas ji and sing shabads to explore their revolutionary thoughts of equality and justice,” she says.


Born and raised in the city of angels, 2019 is the beginning of Lulise’s venture as a solo artist. Tapping into her R&B roots, she'll have you mesmerized and dancing along with her song "Read My Hips" produced by Pretty Sister (Betty Who, Rozzi), the single serves as the perfect introduction to the talented and multi-faceted singer/songwriter.
Prior to blazing her own trail as a solo musician, Lulise has been writing and performing with pop duo Honey and Jude over the last 3 years (named one of the top 100 music acts of 2016 & 2017 by Music Connection Magazine).
As a part of Honey and Jude, she cowrote and collaborated with producers such as Andres Torres (Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato) and Chapters (5 Seconds Of Summer, Jessie J).
In 2018, Lulise’s songwriting skills blossomed and bloomed, mentored by all star songwriter Allan Rich (Whitney Houston, Ray Charles) penning her best songs yet. With natural talent and something to say, Lulise is here to stay.


Depression & Creativity: Healing Through The Arts
People who paint, dance and make music say it's a great way to get out of your head and let out your emotions.READ MORE
With the release of her album The Fame in 2008, the world was introduced to the superstar known as Lady Gaga. Not since the advent of Madonna had the music industry and its global audience met a character so outsized in her independence, individuality, and willingness to provoke.
If the 22-year-old platinum blonde wanted fame, she got it in spades—for better and for worse.
Over the next few years, dance-pop hits like Poker Face, Bad Romance and Born This Way struck a chord with fans around the world. So did the singer’s outrageous onstage outfits, including the infamous raw-meat dress she sported at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
In return, the struggles of her fans—with homophobia, bullying, depression, and the difficult task of figuring out your true self—struck a chord with the singer.
“I often felt lonely and depressed when I was growing up. It had nothing to do with my parents—it’s just my brain chemistry,” says Gaga, who turned 30 this spring.
“As I grew older, I found a way to release myself from those darker thoughts through music. Music was my way of overcoming a lot of pain and anxiety. If you give yourself to your creativity and imagination, it can help you overcome almost anything and really enable you to feel free and powerful.”
Powerful, indeed. Just two years after her debut splash, Time magazine named Lady Gaga one of the 100 most influential people in the world. And she has appeared repeatedly among Forbes magazine’s 100 most powerful women in the world (not to mention the highest-paid celebrities).
To date, her creativity has yielded five studio albums, six Grammy award wins, and a Golden Globe for her role as the exquisitely villainous Countess Elizabeth in American Horror Story: Hotel. Yet separate from the accolades and the income, the megastar often talks about using her art to help others.
Responding to challenges faced by her devoted fans in the gay community, she became an outspoken advocate for ending the U.S. military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and championed marriage equality.
Her Born This Way Foundation was also directly inspired by her “Little Monsters,” as her legions of fervent followers are known. (That all goes back to a spoken-word piece in which Mother Monster—aka Gaga—gives birth to “a race which bears no prejudice/ No judgment/ But boundless freedom.”)
“The foundation was born from the years I spent watching my fans grow up,” Gaga told Billboard magazine last year. “They would tell me their stories—and many of them were very dark.”
In fundamental ways, she’s right there with them: “I’ve suffered through depression and anxiety my entire life, I still suffer with it every single day,” she explained. “I just want these kids to know that that depth that they feel as human beings is normal.”
Gaga and her mom, Cynthia Germanotta, launched the foundation in 2011. Then came the Born Brave Bus, which took the foundation’s work on the road. The colorfully decorated bus serves as a kind of pop-up center to raise awareness of youth mental health issues, connect individuals with local services, and “inspire bravery and promote self-acceptance among young people.”
Gaga has talked about not fitting in during high school, being made fun of, and feeling “like a freak.” Celebrating your inner truth has been a central theme of her music at least since The Fame, which she told MTV was about self-discovery and finding “a sense of inner fame.”
The lyrics of Born This Way proclaim her manifesto:
There’s nothin’ wrong with lovin’ who you are …
So hold your head up,
girl and you’ll go far
Listen to me when I say
I’m beautiful in my way
‘Cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track, baby
I was born this way
There’s an irony in there somewhere, since the megastar has admitted she invented her Lady Gaga persona in part as a way of coping with depression.
Yet the “black dog” isn’t something she left behind with her birth name. In fact, it snarled forward with a vengeance toward the end of 2013. Gaga had cut short a concert tour earlier that year to have hip surgery, but the real wound was her feelings of betrayal and being used for the money she could earn.
Soon she was having trouble sleeping, the world seemed empty, and her vitality was MIA.
“I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go,” she explained in a Harper’s Bazaar interview a few months afterward. “I just didn’t feel like fighting anymore. I didn’t feel like standing up for myself one more time—to one more person who lied to me.”
At one point, she continued, “I really felt like I was dying—my light completely out. I said to myself, ‘Whatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply. You have to for you. You have to for your music. You have to for your fans and your family.’ … I’m lucky I found one little glimmer stored away.”
“One little glimmer” is putting it mildly. By the end of 2014, Gaga and veteran jazz singer Tony Bennett had released Cheek to Cheek, an album of jazz standards that went on to win a Grammy. The two still frequently perform together—and in keeping with her company, Gaga’s wardrobe has shifted from glam-rock to glamorous.
(In fact, apart from her glittering, tottering platform shoes, she looked downright sedate in a silky red Gucci pantsuit when she sang the national anthem at the 2016 Super Bowl.)
Gaga has been clear that medication is an important part of her treatment plan. Working with Bennett, however, provided crucial shelter for her flickering inner light. The octogenarian musician was a fellow artist with no ulterior motives. He offered not only warmth, but useful advice.
“Tony is a very wise and sensitive man,” Gaga says. “When we started working on the album, he could see that I was in a bad place, emotionally. I was in such a terrible state that I would start crying while we were recording. Tony told me that I had to learn to control my breathing so that I could still sing even if I was crying.”
Ryan Murphy, director of the immensely popular TV series American Horror Story, has been another emotional mentor. Gaga says Murphy “has become very important in my life … he’s allowed me to be able to find myself again and get past my fears and anxieties. It’s taken me time to get myself back to a healthier place again.”
She’ll be working with Murphy again on the show’s sixth season, slotted to return to FX this fall.
Although joining the cast of American Horror Story may seem as much of a right-turn for the pop diva as her collaboration with Bennett, it actually reflects a shift from her elaborate constructed identity to one more in keeping with the woman at its core.
Young Stephanie started playing piano at age 4 and later received classical training. She also spent 10 years taking acting lessons at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, was a regular in high school productions, and even won a blink-and-you-miss-it role on a Sopranos episode when she was 15.
The manipulative, selfish Countess Elizabeth was a stretch for the performer. In real life, Gaga claims, she’s kind, compassionate, funny, always ready to joke around with friends. Immersing herself in the character’s indifference and meanness wasn’t always easy—and it wasn’t easy to get out of character, either, which she says took a toll on her former fiancé, actor and model Taylor Kinney of Chicago Fire.
On the other hand, “I understand her loneliness and sense of isolation,” Gaga says of the centuries-old blood-drinking aristocrat. Digging into her own girlhood memories helped her connect with that aspect of the character.
Gaga revisited an especially painful aspect of her past in the song Til It Happens to You, written for the documentary The Hunting Ground. The song was a 2015 Oscar nominee in the best original song category and has become an anthem for sexual assault survivors.
After years of denial and silence, Gaga had worked to address feelings of self-blame, shame and damage in therapy. Still, raw emotions resurfaced while crafting the track with veteran songwriter Diane Warren.
The payoff: Shaking off her solitary anguish and finding strength in numbers. And as is the Gaga way, she’s doing what she can to spread that sense of liberation.
“I’m here because … I see a lot of people who have secrets that are killing them,” she said during a panel discussion for the TimesTalks video series.
“We don’t want you to keep your pain inside and let it rot like an old apple on your counter, you know? It’s like, just get rid of all that trash. Let’s get rid of it together.”
The power to promote positive change is one upside to being Mother Monster. What’s not so fun: Getting others to see the girl behind the Gaga.
The former Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta wants the people in her life “to love the real me, not the idea of me that they think they know [from the media]. This has probably been one of my biggest struggles as a human being,” she muses.
She felt “happier than ever” working on American Horror Story with the likes of Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett—people who know a little something about celebrity—because the other cast members were “so kind and generous and accepting of me.”
Perhaps Gaga preaches so passionately about self-acceptance because it’s something that’s been hard for her to come by.
“I invented myself, Lady Gaga—I curated my life to be an expression of my pain,” she explained in remarks at the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence last October. “This is how I overcame my depression, by creating someone that I felt was stronger than me. But nothing was able to fix how I was genetically made.
“No matter how much success you have, no matter how many people accept you to your face, the person that really needs to accept you is you.”
So has the Gaga/Germanotta split healed? No longer content just to stay in the protective shadow created by her larger-than-life persona, this mutable performer may be ready for the most stunning transformation yet.
“People always expect me or want me to be wild,” she says. “But now I just want to be a normal girl!”
The entertainment phenomenon known as Lady Gaga entered the world on March 28, 1986 as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Raised on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, she reportedly began playing the piano at age 4 and was performing at open-mike nights by 14.
As a student at the exclusive Convent of the Sacred Heart, she was (in her own words) “very dedicated, very studious, very disciplined.” Her expansive spirit took wing at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. At 19, she left and immersed herself in the music and performance art scene on the Lower East Side for the next few years, developing the Lady Gaga persona.
And thus a megastar is born:
2008: She relocates to Los Angeles and releases her first album, The Fame, a worldwide hit which produced the chart-topping singles Paparazzi, Just Dance and Poker Face.
2009: After her first global concert tour, she releases The Fame Monster, an equally successful follow-up dealing with the darker side of fame. The extended-play album spawns singles Bad Romance, Telephone and Alejandro. She launches the glamtastic Monster Ball Tour in November, which keeps her busy for the next year and a half.
2010: After just two years in the pop-music industry, Gaga appears on Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the world and debuts on Forbes magazine’s 100 most powerful women.
2011: Her second full-length album, Born This Way, tops the charts in more than 20 countries—including the United States, where it sold over one million copies in its first week.
2012: Born This Way Ball and Born Brave Bus tour begins in April 2012 but gets cut short in February 2013 when Gaga injures her hip and requires surgery.
2013: Critics didn’t love her album Artpop, but fans embraced singles Applause and Do What U Want, featuring R&B singer R. Kelly. A deep depressive episode has her thinking about quitting the music biz.
2014: Gaga shifts gears with Cheek to Cheek, a collaboration with Tony Bennett featuring jazz standards like Anything Goes and Sophisticated Lady. Like her two previous albums, it goes to number one in the U.S. and breaks the top 10 in more than two dozen countries around the globe.
2015: In the music sphere, Gaga is Billboard’s Woman of the Year. In another major shift, however, she takes on the role of hotel owner Countess Elizabeth in American Horror Story: Hotel—earning her a 2016 Golden Globe Award. (She’s tapped for the show’s sixth season, which will return to FX this fall.)
Printed as “Lady Gaga: On the right track,” Summer 2016
After reading this I understand. My son suffers from anxiety, depression, and bipolar, as well as substance abuse. He was off the drugs and alcohol for 4 years and relapsed in March 2022. He said it doesn’t matter if he’s off drugs, he still faces the same problems of navigating life. And financial issues. He only needs $2000 to live. He is a content creator on TikTok, this is where his creativity comes into play. He was happy …until someone hijacked his TikTok. There was no one to help, and now he is in rehab for mental health and had a complete breakdown.
I replied without putting my email in. So I hope that you will see my reply & let Lady Gaga see it.
Since I have followed Lady Gaga’s life, I now have more respect for her than ever & the compassion she shows for the mentally ill as me. I am bipolar & suffer depression. Each day is a struggle & of course my head won’t shut off from sticking thinking they say. I too am Gaga- Grandma Gaga named Gaga from my 23 year old Grandson. He is a miracle child having survived a terminal genetic disease by having 2 bone marrow transplants. Now by my other 6 Grandchildren call me Gaga & I am so proud. They give me hope as has Lady Gaga. I hope in some way to be able to meet her in person & thank her & let her know how her music soothes my soul! 💕💕

The launch of space shuttle Endevour was scrubbed today 29 April due to failure of a heater circuit in an Auxiliary Power Unit. In the meantime, on the other side of the world a nation celebrated what was called “The Wedding of the Century”
The Royal Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton caught the attention of the world today. The crew of the International Space Station joined millions around the world offering best wishes to the new royal couple.
A large crowd gathered along the path of the royal procession bringing London to life. It was a spectacular display of royal glamour worthy of the occasion.
Careful planning and thorough practice ensured a precise performance of the royal court, the police and the innumerable people involved in making this event a success.
The groom, Prince William and his best-man and brother Harry, arrived at Westminster Abbey together wearing military uniforms. William wore his scarlet Colonel of the Irish Guard uniform with a crimson sash and a second blue sash featuring the Wings of the Royal Air Force, the Garter Star and the Golden Jubilee medal. Harry wore his navy uniform of Captain of the Household Cavalry.
After a short drive from Goring Hotel, Catherine, the bride, stepped out of her luxury car revealing her astonishingly elegant and timeless wedding dress designed by Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton. The white dress had lace sleeves and shoulders, a swagged train and a fine veil of chantilly lace held by a diamond tiara borrowed from the Queen.
As Catherine entered the abbey, she turned around to wave at the crowds that waited for days to see her; she also gestured goodbye at her former life to enter the world of royalty as she stepped into Westminster Abbey by the side of her father Michael Middleton.
The maid of honour, her younger sister Pippa, also caught the eye of the media as she astounded the world with her impeccable presence, wearing a long, cream silk gown as she assisted Catherine all along the ceremony, surrounded by the bridesmaids and pageboys.
The story in pictures
The Welsh golden ring given to Prince William by the Queen, showed the last signs of resistance of the Royal House of Windsor in accepting the finger of a commoner. After some struggle, the groom managed to slide the ring into place and completed his vows of marriage.
The Lord Bishop of London summarized the meaning of matrimony in his advice to the couple:
“Be who god meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire; said St. Catherine of Siena, whose festival day it is today.
Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman help each other become what God meant each one to be; their deepest and their truest selves.
This is a joyful day. This is, as every wedding day should be, a day of hope.
In a sense, every wedding is a royal wedding, with the bride and the groom as Queen and King of creation, making a new life together, so that life can flow through them into the future.”
Westminster Abbey looked its very best decorated with flowers and trees, filled with sumptuous music and wishes of happiness. The ceremony proceeded flawlessly to the very last minute. The newlyweds retired for their legal proceedings in private and later emerged from the Abbey to receive the warmest of welcomes from the multitude that gathered cheering their names.
A short ride on an open carriage took them to Buckingham Palace for a champagne reception and photograph session, after which they appeared at the balcony to salute the public and delighted the crowds with not only one but two kisses, scenes of which appeared on all papers around the world.
After the reception, the newlyweds surprised everyone again, leaving Buckingham palace with Prince Williams behind the wheel of his father’s blue Aston Martin while his colleagues from the air rescue service, hovered in a helicopter swinging the flag of his unit.
In June 2008, at the request of The Prince of Wales, who is keen that his cars should be run on sustainable fuel, the Aston Martin DB6 was converted to run on E85 bioethanol, made from English wine wastage.
It was a day to remember that will pass to posterity as one of the happiest in the calendar of 2011.
How it all started, in the words of the protagonists
An interview with Prince William and Kate Middleton soon after he proposed
THE NEWLYWEDS’ NEW TITLES
His new title: Prince William Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus.
Prince William is second in the line of succession, behind his father Charles, Prince of Wales.
Her new title: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn and Lady Carrickfergus.
She is to be addressed as “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.” Because she does not have royal or aristocratic background, she has no title of her own and cannot be addressed as “Princess Catherine.” Only Queen Elizabeth can grant her a royal title, which would change the way she might be addressed.
PIPPA STOLE THE SHOW
Pippa (Philippa) Middleton, the bridesmaid and younger sister of Catherine was said to have “stolen the show” at the Royal Wedding as her presence was unmissable during the ceremony.
Her curvaceous figure wrapped by a perfectly fitting cream outfit made by Sarah Burton was in the centre of view of all cameras around the world as she followed her sister when they entered Westminster Abbey. Later in the ceremony she was seen very busy with her duties taking the spotlight in front of everyone. She exchanged smiles with Prince Harry as they walked along the isle and later at the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
The media didn’t waste any time and gave her the name of “Her Royal Hotness,” appearing in every fashion and gossip magazine around the world. They even said that her popularity surpassed that of her sister Catherine.
Since then she is followed by photographers everywhere she goes, even when she tries to lead a regular life and go to work at “Table Talk,” a London party planning business, where she edits the online magazine for her family’s business “Party Pieces.”

Exciting news! It looks highly likely that Amy will be appearing in the upcoming second season of Person of Interest — you may remember she guest starred on the season finale, and was revealed to be a major character. Details [spoiler alert] are below!
The actress, introduced in the freshman season finale as the series’ mysterious hacker, will continue to work against Finch and Reese.
Fans looking for answers about Person of Interest’s cliffhanger finale at the CBS drama’s Comic-Con panel did not squeeze much out of creator Jonathan Nolan and showrunner Greg Plageman — but the duo were confident about bringing back a recent guest.
“We had a great experience with Amy Acker and we have big plans for her,” said Nolan, when asked if she would be reappearing in the sophomore season.
And that shouldn’t come as a huge shock. The Dollhouse and Happy Town actress made her first appearance in the May finale as a psychologist determined to be a potential crime victim by the Machine. It was later revealed that she was actually “Root,” the faceless hacker introduced earlier in the season. The episode left off with her killing Alicia (Elizabeth Marvel) and kidnapping Finch (Michael Emerson).
EDIT (July 24): Amy has confirmed on Twitter that she is back in New York City filming Person of Interest. So, stay tuned!

Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation
Leonardo might be an A-list celebrity, but he’s more than just an Academy Award-winning actor – he’s an activist and cares about the Earth and all of its creatures. His foundation is dedicated to the protection and wellbeing of all of Earth’s inhabitants, supporting projects across the globe that aim to protect the world we live int. He’s using his celebrity notoriety to do good and we’re 100% behind his mission!
The foundation supports projects that protect vulnerable wildlife, build climate resiliency and helps to restore balance to various threatened ecosystems and communities on this beautiful planet we call home. While many celebrities are involved in some sort of charity organization, where they’re merely the spokesperson, Leonardo has gone above and beyond with his foundation. He didn’t just want to promote another organization, but truly felt compelled to do something on his own and make a greater impact for the sake of saving Earth.
The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation was first founded in 1998 and for the past 20 years, it’s funded more than 200 projects in 50 countries, awarding $100 million grants. In two decades, the Foundation has supported 132 organizations and that number will only double in the coming years. Through collaborative partnerships, they aim to support innovative projects, with its grant-making program encompassing six focus areas that include: Marine Life & Oceans, Wildlife & Landscapes, Climate Change, Innovative Solutions, Environment Now California Program and Indigenous Rights.
While the actor in Leonardo might gain publicity for numerous causes and organizations, it’s the activist in him that’s passionate about bringing about change. As the founder and chairmen of the Foundation, he’s produced many environmentally themed creative projects and documentaries that ignited awareness and change for a variety of serious subjects we should all care about if we want a better future on Earth.
With so many different projects in the works, it’s hard to touch upon all of them. However, a few wildlife conversation effort ones worth knowing about include the Leuser Ecosystem action fund, anti-poaching operations in Bili-Mbomu, protecting the iconic gray wolf, wild tigers, and mountain lions in the Santa Monica mountains and many more! It’s amazing when celebrities use their celebrity status for good, but it’s even better when they go above and beyond as Leonardo DiCaprio has demonstrated with his amazing foundation!


Shares of weight loss company Weight Watchers jumped nearly 19% on Wednesday after a television ad featuring Oprah Winfrey was shown in the US. In an emotional one-minute commercial, the former talk show host spoke about her renowned weight loss struggles, flashing back to videos of her working out over the years. She asked viewers to join her, saying "let's do this together". Ms Winfrey bought a 10% stake in the company for $43.2m (£28m) in October.

(an exhibition by Birgit Pargner)
April 26 to October 15, 2017
at the German Theatre Museum in Munich
With an incomparable radicalism the actress Gisela Stein (1934-2009) devoted her life to the theatre.
Following her first appearances in Koblenz, Krefeld and Essen, she performed at the Staatliche Schauspielbühnen in Berlin from 1960, with various breaks, up until 1979. At this theatre the extraordinarily talented actress – who also guested on the stages in Munich, Hamburg, Zürich and Stuttgart – soon developed into one of the outstanding stage actresses of her time.
In 1980 she moved to the Munich Kammerspiele, where together with the director and later intendant Dieter Dorn and the members of his legendary ensemble – for example, Helmut Griem, Rolf Boysen, Peter Lühr, Thomas Holtzmann and Cornelia Froboess – she joined an incomparable working symbiosis.
In 2001 she followed Dieter Dorn for a further six years at the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel.
With a remarkable will to survive, utmost discipline and her undiminished great love
for the theatre, the fifty-year-old achieved the unimaginable: following a serious car accident in August 1983, the consequences of which almost completely destroyed her body and engaged her in a lifelong battle, she returned to the stage one year later.
Whether playing Iphigenia, Hecuba, Atossa or a protagonist in modern plays, as an ”initiator“ of images, feelings and associations, the actress time and again brought to light new hidden levels of meaning in roles and plays, flowing from her incredibly deep insight into the texts.
The exhibition evokes memories of this great interpreter of roles with a large number of photographs, costumes and cinematic production excerpts.
Recollections of her artistic companions as well as Gisela Stein’s own observations in correspondence, diaries and interviews document in words and writing the life’s work of a personality which ultimately came to epitomise the acting profession.

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period, and one of the most influential and prolific composers of his time. He is known for his contributions to the development of many musical forms, including the symphony, string quartet, and piano sonata.
Haydn was born in Rohrau, Austria, and began his musical career as a choirboy at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. He later worked as a freelance musician, teaching and composing music for various patrons. In 1761, he was hired as a court musician by the wealthy Esterházy family, for whom he worked for over 30 years.
During his time at the Esterházy court, Haydn composed hundreds of works, including over 100 symphonies, over 50 keyboard sonatas, dozens of string quartets, and numerous operas, oratorios, and masses. His music was known for its elegant melodies, inventive harmonies, and witty humor, and he was widely regarded as one of the leading composers of his time.
Haydn’s influence on the development of classical music cannot be overstated. His contributions to the symphony and string quartet, in particular, helped to establish these forms as central genres of Western classical music. He also mentored and influenced several other important composers, including Mozart and Beethoven. Today, Haydn’s music continues to be widely performed and celebrated for its beauty, innovation, and lasting impact on the world of classical music.

Perez, known for his role in the rom-com adaptation “Red, White & Royal Blue,” was honored as one of SAG’s ambassadors this year, alongside Dunster, recognized for his portrayal of Jamie in “Ted Lasso.” The guild praised them as exemplary actors who embody the values of the profession and serve as positive role models for future generations of performers.
