New American Idol : David Archuleta

2008-05-22T11:28:00.005+03:00

David James Archuleta (born December 28, 1990) is an American singer. On May 21st 2008, he was declared the runner-up to David Cook on the seventh season of American Idol.

David Archuleta was born in Miami, Florida to James Jeffrey Archuleta and Lupe Marie Archuleta. He has three younger siblings, Amber, Daniel and Jazzy, and an older sister, Claudia. Archuleta's family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when Archuleta was thirteen and currently lives in Murray, Utah, where Archuleta is a student at Murray High School. He once suffered partial vocal paralysis but refrained from risky surgery and feels he is almost fully recovered.

Archuleta started singing when he was six because he was inspired by a Les Misérables video. "That musical is what started all of this," he said. He started performing publicly at ten years old when he participated in the Utah Talent Competition singing "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton; he received a standing ovation, and won the kid division.

Archuleta's mother is from Honduras,and much of the music he listened to as a child, according to an interview aired on American Idol, was Latin-influenced. She also "was big on dancing" according to Archuleta, and would "make" him dance to traditional music with his older sister.He also listened to jazz music, he said, from his father's collection as well as gospel, pop, rock and "soulful music." In a later interview he also revealed that his dad was a jazz musician. Archuleta also enjoys Broadway musicals.

On his American Idol "Fast Facts" page, Archuleta cites his musical influences as Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin and Bryan Adams. When asked to list his top pop artists, he cites Natasha Bedingfield, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Kirk Franklin, and Robbie Williams. He also cites Tamyra Gray and Elliott Yamin as his favorite former American Idol contestants.Like Yamin and another singer he admires, John Mayer, Archuleta aspires to infuse his pop selections with a soulful vibe.

In 2003, at the age of 12, Archuleta sang on several episodes of the television show Star Search.He ended up as the Junior Vocal Champion on Star Search 2.On one episode, he sang against then 13-year-old Alexandréa Lushington, who also became a "top 20" semi-finalist on American Idol alongside Archuleta.Archuleta's competing on Star Search led to appearances on The Jenny Jones Show and CBS' The Early Show, and meeting the finalists from American Idol's first season, for whom he performed a spontaneous a cappella rendition of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls.

Archuleta won his ticket to the Hollywood final auditions (with a performance of John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change") at the San Diego tryouts held at Qualcomm Stadium - July 30 and July 31, 2007. He was 16 during the Hollywood auditions (where he sang Bryan Adams' "Heaven" to unanimous praise) and, along with other contestants not yet 18, will have to go to school ("doing schoolwork in the morning and then come onto the stage and then go back to the schoolwork") while a part of American Idol's seventh season. His parents have been on hand, because he is a minor.Archuleta has also taken advantage of the decision to allow contestants to play musical instruments; he has accompanied himself on piano for his performances of "Another Day in Paradise" and "Angels."

The Los Angeles Times suspected that Archuleta avoided singing the first verse of "Imagine" because, "as a Mormon, he's unlikely to espouse the song's agnostic ideal . . . with the line about 'no religion too.'" Archuleta did, however, sing the entire song on Good Things Utah when he was 13.

During the finale of season 7 of American Idol, Archuleta appeared in a commercial for the game franchise Guitar Hero, parodying Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Fellow finalist David Cook also appeared in a separate but similar commercial parodying the same scene. source: wikipedia

Played in several sports.
Only acting role was in "Harvey".
Edited the school newspaper and was student government president.
Quote from high school friend:

"Danny was very outgoing, very friendly -- I don't remember him arguing with anyone, ever. I guess you could say he was one of the `in' crowd. I always thought he would have gone into politics." (Morning Call News interview)

Training:
Earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Haverford College/Bryn Mawr College in Theatre & Political Science.
Spent a semester studying at the National Theatre Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut during junior year. Studied under Lynn Britt, Morris Carnovsky, Rod Marriott, and Dennis Scott. (Daniel cites Morris as one of the reasons he loves Shakespeare today.)
While in New York, he performed in original comedies that he co-wrote and performed in while part of an improv group.
Was "very close" to accepting positions at one of several major Wall Street investment banks before deciding to try acting full time.
In 1993, started the MFA acting program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Graduated with a Masters in Acting in 96. The Tisch Acting Program is an exclusive and rigorous three-year course, accepting only 18 to 20 students each year.
After moving to Los Angeles in 1997, he immediately began finding work in television and film, appearing in over twenty projects in two years.

Some idols: Paul Scofield, Gene Hackman, Robert DeNiro, Jonathan Pryce, Sidney Poitier, Gene Kelly, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall.

"[About Jonathon Pryce] He's got such a simplicity about the way he works and I tend to like actors who do very little on the outside. There's such a relaxed quality to the way he acts and approaches his work that I find very compelling. He's simple, his voice is incredibly relaxed and he's also got an 'everyman' quality that makes him very vulnerable. Yet at the same time, he's very sophisticated and I think, elegant. It's an interesting combination." (The Bronze Shelter, January 2002.)

Career thoughts:

"[Daniel's first love is theater.] There's something about being in a house with an audience, and having that immediate feedback. I started acting because of that energy; it's what feeds me on stage and informs my choices. What's great in theater is that you can sustain the arc of a character for a full three hours, whereas in film or TV, you have to create that arc in little pieces, and usually out of sequence." (A. Magazine: Ethnic News Watch, November 30, 1997)
"I like directing for the stage. It's something that I started to do in NY, and would like to explore further when I get the chance. I also write regularly, but it's mainly in the form of a journal I like to keep." (B5/Crusade Spoiler Junkies Page, July 11, 1999.)

Naveen Andrews

2008-04-24T15:15:00.002+03:00

Birth Name : Naveen William Sidney Andrews
Birthplace : London, England, UK
Birthday : 17 January 1969

Summary
Naveen William Sidney Andrews was born on the 17th of January, 1969, in London, England. Naveen is the eldest of two brothers, and has had an interest in acting since an early age. At the age of 5, a teacher mentioned to Naveen's parents that the young boy had talked of being an actor. At the age of 16, Naveen attended London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama at the same as Ewan McGregor and Davis Thewlis. Naveen's first role was in Hanif Kureshi's film, "London Kills Me". In 1993, Naveen was nominated by the Evening Standard Drama Awards as Most Promising Newcomer for his part in "Wild West". For the BBC's "The Buddha of Suburbia", he was nominated for Best Actor at the San Remo Film Festival. This talented actor with the expressive eyes has continued to work steadily through out his career, and recently gained the role of Sayid Jarrah in the popular television series "Lost". Naveen has been nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role in "Lost" and has earned much praise from critics. Naveen has one son, Jaisal, with a former girlfriend. He currently splits his time between Hawaii, where "Lost" is filmed, and Los Angeles, where he lives with his girlfriend, Barbara Hershey.

Career Attributes
Andrews went on and auditioned for drama school. He was accepted at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Ewan McGregor and David Thewlis. His studies paid off when he won a role in Hanif Kureshi's film, London Kills Me (1991). He is best known for his role as Kip in The English Patient (1996) and as Sayid in the popular television series Lost (2004). In 2006, he was voted one of People magazine's World's Most Beautiful People.

Personal Life
Andrews was born in London, England to Nirmala, a psychologist, and Stanley Andrews, a businessman, both immigrants from Kerala, India. He was raised in Wandsworth, South London (beside the River Thames) and had what he has described as a "very repressive" upbringing. Andrews was raised in the Methodist religion. At the age of 16, whilst at Emanuel School, he fell in love with his mathematics teacher, Geraldine Feakins with whom he had a son, Jaisal, born in 1992. Andrews was quoted in an interview later on saying that "[his] father would call [him] a prostitute" about being famous at his school "for going out with a maths teacher".

Andrews is a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. He suffered from these conditions when he lived in London during his early twenties, and his promising screen career nearly ended. Andrews moved across the Atlantic to the United States to seek rehabilitation and get his life back on track. His efforts were successful, but he says that London provides painful memories of his alcohol and heroin addictions.

Andrews is in a relationship with actress Barbara Hershey and they live in Los Angeles. The couple separated briefly in 2005 and, during that time, Andrews had a son with another woman. He and Hershey later reconciled. In July 2006, Andrews was photographed kissing an unknown woman on Manhattan Beach, but his representative said that he and Hershey are still together.

Andrews also plays guitar and sings.

Josh Holloway in TURKEY

2008-04-17T20:34:00.001+03:00

ISTANBUL – Turkish Daily News

The popular adventure series "Lost," which continues to set TV ratings records, is a phenomenon. One of the series' most popular stars, Josh Holloway, who plays the character Sawyer on the program, will come to Turkey to be photographed for advertisements for the Magnum ice cream brand.

Many celebrities have taken part in Magnum advertisements, including Elizabeth Hurley and Eva Longoria. Holloway will be the first male celebrity Magnum signed to a contract. The photo shoot will take place in April.

Holloway was among People magazine's list of the “50 Most Beautiful People” and was named one of the sexiest men by OK! Magazine. He is one of the most admired actors in the cast of the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning program.

The actress who will accompany Holloway has yet to be announced. Can Ulkay, the director of Atlantik Film, will direct the advertisement, which will be prepared by Pars McCann Erickson. Algida's marketing director, Şükrü Dinçer, said the company hopes the new campaign will broaden Magnum's image. “It was important that the new face of Magnum display extraordinary passion, at this point we decided to take a different step and work with a male star,” said Dinçer. The company said they chose Holloway because besides his success with his role in Lost, he has the characteristics suited to the Magnum world: He likes women and living an adventurous life.

Rihanna

2008-01-08T01:43:00.000+02:00

Rihanna established herself big-time in summer 2005 with her debut smash hit, "Pon de Replay," and continued to demonstrate her smash hit potential in subsequent years (e.g., "S.O.S.," 2006; "Umbrella," 2007). By the time of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), she was a full-fledged international pop star with a regular presence atop the charts, from Germany to Japan. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she always exhibited a special quality, winning beauty and talent contests as a schoolchild. But because she lived on the fairly remote island of Barbados in the West Indies, she never foresaw the sort of stardom that would later befall her.
That stardom came courtesy of a fateful meeting with a man named Evan Rogers. The New Yorker was vacationing in Barbados with his wife, a native of the island, when someone turned him on to Rihanna. Since Rogers had spent years producing pop artists -- including superstars like *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Clarkson, Laura Pausini, and Rod Stewart -- he offered her the opportunity to record some music after he recognized her talent and potential. Along with Rogers' production partner, Carl Sturken (the other half of Syndicated Rhythm Productions), Rihanna recorded some demos that sparked the interest of the Carter Administration -- that is, newly appointed Def Jam president Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. This led to an audition and, in turn, an on-the-spot offer to sign with Def Jam, which Rihanna indeed inked on the spot.

Come summer 2005, Def Jam rolled out "Pon de Replay," the lead single of Music of the Sun, which was produced almost entirely by Rogers and Sturken and which synthesized Caribbean rhythms and beats with urban-pop songwriting. "Pon de Replay" caught fire almost immediately, climbing all the way to number two on The Billboard Hot 100 and contesting the half-summer reign of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" atop the chart, and this was before Music of the Sun even had been released. The album spawned one other hit, "If It's Lovin' That You Want," which broke the Top 40. Rihanna's follow-up album, A Girl Like Me, was a greater success, spawning three big hits: a chart-topper ("S.O.S.") and two Top Tens ("Unfaithful," "Break It Off").

Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), continued her success and, more notably, signaled a change of direction. Whereas her past two albums had been been imbalanced -- often weighed down by faceless balladry and canned Caribbean-isms -- Good Girl Gone Bad was a first-rate dance-pop album. Moreover, it was surprisingly solid, stacked with potential singles and easily enjoyable from beginning to end. Collaborators included Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Timbaland, and StarGate. The lead single, "Umbrella," shot to number one and, for the third year in a row, was a potential "song of the summer." By this point it was clear that Rihanna had become one of the biggest singles artists of the mid-2000s.
