Show must go on

Today is 25 years since we've lost a frontman of legendary band Queen Freddie Mercury. I was a baby when it happened but their music has been a big part of my life and I'm always saying I feel sad that I've never had a chance to hear him live. 

Yes, show had to go on but I think it's quite something that after all these years many of us still enjoys his vocal, his music, etc. I'm happy that memories of electrifying entertainer live on. We miss you Freddie!

Happy Birthday - Leonardo DiCaprio (42)

Happy Birthday - Gordon Ramsay (50)

Happy 50th Birthday to Gordon Ramsay!

Happy birthday - Benedict Cumberbatch (40)

Happy (another) 40th Birthday! This time to one of my favorite actors Benedict Cumberbatch!

You can read more about him here.

Stay amazing Benedict and to many more awesome roles!

I guess there is no need to say I can't wait for new season of Sherlock and movie Dr. Strange! Aaaaa!

Happy birthday - Diane Kruger (40)

Happy 40th birthday to still one of my favorite ladies Diane Kruger!

I love her more and more because she speaks her mind and is involved in films not only because of the money. Recently she said: “What studios are producing is not really all that interesting to me anymore. I feel like television has taken over so much that there’s a whole new platform for actors and talent to grow.”

She also shared her beauty secrets with The New York Times!“I’m probably more European in my thinking because of where I grew up: the ‘less is more’ philosophy,” Diane expressed. “My sunscreen habit is from living in L.A., though I don’t like to be tan like some of the people there. And when I go to New York, all the women are so on top of it. They have their dermatologists they see for this and that. I can’t keep up. I don’t even pluck my brows.”
 

Can't wait to see her in The Infiltrator!

Klossy

I'm going to be honest. I wasn't always a fan of Karlie Kloss but she proved me wrong. Well... she didn't have to prove anything to me or anybody but you know what I mean :)

Recently she stared with youtube channel Klossy and I really like it. She's cool. If you have time, I recommended you to watch it.

Happy Birthday - Leonardo DiCaprio (40)

Happy 40th Birthday to one of the best actors and one of my favorite Leonardo DiCaprio!

ACTING
Some people like to say his great acting begin after huge success of Titanic in 1997 but I always say he acted amazingly even before that (he just wasn't recognized yet). For example his work in This Boy's Life (1993), What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), The Basketball Diaries (1995) and Romeo + Juliet (1996) was tremendous. But I do agree the best roles for Leo happened after 2000.

I wanted to do Best 10 films by Leo but the list was full right away. He has so many stunning movies! If Leo is in the movie, you know it's worth watching. And I'm not even exaggerating. Catch Me If You Can (2002), The Aviator (2004), The Departed and Blood Diamond in 2006, Body of Lies and Revolutionary Road in 2008, breathtaking Shutter Island and Inception in 2010, biography J. Edgar (2011), Django Unchained (2012) and last year's The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street. I would recommend you to see them all.

He's currently filming adventure drama The Revenant.

Leo has been nominated for various awards, including 4 Oscars: in a supporting role for What's Eating Gilbert Grape and in a leading role for the films The Aviator, Blood Diamond and The Wolf of Wall Street. He's been also nominated for 10 Golden Globes, of which he won two (for the The Aviator and The Wolf of Wall Street).

ACTIVISM
I'm sure you know Leo is also a committed environmentalist. Just last month his foundation, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, have provided $2 million in grant to Oceans 5, an international funders’ collaborative dedicated to stopping overfishing and establishing marine reserves in the world’s five oceans. He also made a passionate speech at the United Nations Climate Summit in September: click.

PERSONAL
Since May 2013, he's been dating German model Toni Garrn.

I really hope he will continue in doing such an amazing job as an actor and as a human being! All the best in the future Leo! Keep on wonderful work!

Happy Birthday - Gordon Ramsay (48)

Happy 48th Birthday to one of the best celebrity chefs, Gordon Ramsay!


Last year I wrote some basic info about Gordon (click) so in order not to repeating myself I'm only going to write some latest news.

In September Gordon opened the Bread Street Kitchen & Bar in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong. You can learn more about his restaurants here.

This year the TV series Kitchen Nightmares was cancelled but right now we can enjoy the 13 season of Hell's Kitchen. MasterChef season 5 just ended, while the 2nd season of MasterChef Junior premiered this week.

I think he's a great guy, I admire his dedication, how much he helps others, inspires me and loves his family! I wish him all the best in the future, especially lots of love, health, delicious food and to new amazing adventures! Cheers!

Personal
In November 2013 he announced he had a basal-cell carcinoma removed from his nose. Hugh had a second carcinoma removed from his nose in May 2014, telling Associated Press that he expects to have future recurrences. This resulted in Jackman attending the various worldwide premieres of X-Men: Days of Future Past with a bandage on his nose, and urging his followers to wear sunscreen.

Happy Birthday to both of them and best of luck in the futue!

Here is also an interview which aired on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight Late in the end of 2013. Jeremy talked about his son Max, tabloids, music, acting and views on consumption. Interesting!

Happy Birthday Kate and best of luck in the future!

Happy Birthday - Benedict Cumberbatch (38)

Happy 38th Birthday to Benedict Cumberbatch!

Every now and then, there comes an actor that really blows your mind! Last year Benedict did just that for me (click). His acting is superb and I can't stop rave about how awesome he is!

Benedict was born in Hammersmith, London. He grew up in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. He attended boarding schools from the age of eight and was involved in numerous Shakespearean works at school and made his acting debut as Titania, Queen of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was 12. Ben took a gap year to volunteer as an English teacher at a Tibetan monastery in Darjeeling, India and then attended the University of Manchester, where he studied Drama. He continued his training as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art graduating with an MA in Classical Acting.

ACTING (TV and MOVIES)
Television portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the series Sherlock put him on the map for sure. His first major film role was William Pitt's film Amazing Grace in 2006 and he has since appeared in the films Atonement (2007), The Other Boleyn Girl (2008), The Whistleblower (2010), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) and Steven Spielberg's War Horse (2011). Since 2012 he has portrayed the characters of Smaug and the Necromancer through voice and motion capture in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy. Last year he featured in the films Star Trek Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave, The Fifth Estate and August: Osage County. He is also the narrator/voice in Cristiano Ronaldo: World at His Feet.

Current and future
Earlier this month the BBC One announced that Sherlock would be returning with both a special and three brand new episodes! The special (assumed to be a Christmas special) will start filming in January 2015 and will pick up where the end of His Last Vow left off.

Beside the last part of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, we'll see him in biography The Imitation Game and hear his voice in Penguins of Madagascar. Benedict is currently filming action drama Black Mass with Johnny Depp.

Benedict will also be appearing at the San Diego Comic Con on Thursday 24th July in Hall H as part of Dreamworks Animation’s panel. This will be Benedict’s first appearance at the San Diego Comic Con. He’ll be there alongside John Malkovich to promote the already mentioned The Penguins of Madagascar in which he plays Agent Classified.

AWARDS
He has received four BAFTA nominations, three Emmy Award nominations, two SAG Award nominations and a Golden Globe nomination, among several others. It's only the beginning, I'm telling you!

PERSONAL
In 1999 he began dating actress Olivia Poulet, whom he met at university. They broke up after 12 years together. He dated artist Anna James in late 2011 but the couple separated in 2012.

While Benedict was in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in 2005, he and two friends were abducted overnight and held at gunpoint by a group of locals. In the end, their abductors drove them into unsettled territory and set them free without explanation. Cumberbatch said of the incident: "It taught me that you come into this world as you leave it, on your own. It's made me want to live a life less ordinary."


Stay amazing Benedict and Happy Birthday! All the Cumberbitches around the world and I wish you all the best and that you keep up the good work and astonish us with new exciting projects! Love u!

Happy Birthday - Johnny Depp (51)

Happy 51th Birthday to one and only... Johnny Depp!

What can I say? I'm his fan since forever! Last year Mr. Depp turned 50 (click), he's a great actor, artist and unique person!

FILMS
This year he was in Transcendence and there is more to expect: mystery crime thriller London Fields (also starring Amber Heard, Jim Sturgess, Lily Cole and Cara Delevingne), highly anticipated Into the Woods, plus he's rumored to be in horror Tusk. Next year we'll see him in action comedy Mortdecai and action drama that he's currently shooting called Black Mass (with Benedict Cumberbatch, Juno Temple and Dakota Johnson among others)! If that is not good enough, Johnny will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and as Mad Hatter in Through the Looking Glass!

PERSONAL
After spearation from Vanessa Paradis in June 2012, he has been dating Amber Heard and the couple is already engaged! Johnny and Vanessa have two children: daughter Lily-Rose Melody (born 1999) and son Jack (born 2002).

BIRTHDAY SPECIAL: What's your favourite Johnny Depp movie?
Because I'm a fan and seen all of his movies that came out (except this year's Transcendence), I get that question a lot. And it's always so hard to answer. Here is my top 7 list. They are my personal favorites even though from critical point of view they are not all great.

1. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
It win my heart so many year back and still does.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
I like all POTC movies but first is still the first. Original, witty, fun!

3. Sleepy Hollow (1999)
I was obsessed with this one and watch just a segment every day for a while. I love the legend, the atmosphere, costumes and makeup, romance, mystery, the script... just everything!

4. Finding Neverland (2004)
It's hard not to love this fillm if you're a dreamer.

5. Chocolat (2000)
Predictability is totally fine if you have such a wonderful simple love story.

6. Corpse Bride (2005)
I love animation, Tim Burton an Johnny so there is no surprise Corpse Bride is on my list. Johnny was amazing as Rango as well but voice of Victor Van Dort and a morbid merry tale find more place in my heart.

7. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
Another 'sensitive misfit' story but executed perfectly and just warm, real and excellent film!


To make Monday a bit merrier, here are also 25 quotes from Pirates. Enjoy ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Johnny! Stay healthy, in love, wicked, nice and cool! Best of luck in the future!

Happy Birthday - Behati Prinsloo (25)

Happy 25th Birthday to super cool chick Behati Prinsloo!
