A Few Interesting Facts about Vincent Van Gogh
October 31, 2011
The following facts heave been obtained from historical records and do not represent wishful imagination or opinion.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was named after his grandfather and of his brother who died a year before Vincent was born.
Vincent was unconventionally serious, solicitous and hushed as a child instead of being naughty, talkative, and sort of do-first-think-after type.
Vincent, Dutch post-impressionist painter, was born to Theodorous Van Gogh, a minister of a Church and Anna Cornelia Carbentus on March 30, 1853 in Holland.
Vincent had two brothers, Theo and Cor, and three sisters, Elisabeth, and Anna and Willemina.
Vincent had issues with his mental health such as temporal lobe epilepsy and hallucinations, schizophrenia, syphilis, bi-polar disorder, bouts of depression, and emotional instability inherited from his family which had a history of mental illness. All of these diseases made his entire life a living hell.
Vincent initially wanted to become a pastor. He served as a missionary in the Dutch Reformed Church of which his father was a minister but was forced to discontinue by his family.
Vincent had made 900 paintings in 10 years, hardly possible elsewhere but he did manage to achieve such a milestone. He was successful in selling one of them during his lifetime called the Red Vineyard.
Vincent had written over 800 letters in his life mostly to his brother and closest friend Theo who supported Vincent financially throughout his life.
Vincent didn’t start off with painting landscapes and flowers; he started with painting peasants as models and often would paint himself as he didn’t have enough resources.
Vincent, as many other artists, had unusual taste in women. He’d mostly prefer widows and prostitutes. He desired to marry a prostitute he lived with for a while named Sien. He never found his true love.
Vincent was self-made artist with over 2000 pieces of art made in 37 short years of which 900 were paintings and the rest were either sketches or drawings.
This may sound weird but Vincent had painted a total of 37 self-portraits, same as the amount of years he lived. This may imply that he had continued to make self-portraits among other work he undertook till the day he ended it all.
Some people are of the opinion that Vincent cut off his own earlobe intentionally and sent it to a prostitute called Rachael. Some argue that it was during an epileptic that caused him to attack his friend Paul Gauguin, another great artist, with a razor consequently cutting his own earlobe off.
Vincent attempted a successful suicide attempt in 1890 ending his life by shooting himself in a wheat field in Auvers, France. He did get to live for 2 days after he shot himself. His last words were ‘sadness will last forever”. Quite true as all what we see around us is sadness.
Vincent’s most loved brother, Theo, couldn’t come to terms with Vincent’s death and died six months after his suicide on January 25, at Den Dolder.
There always is a woman behind the success of every man. True for most but mostly happens during the life time of those men. Vincent became famous after his death due to his brother’s wife Johanna van Gogh-Bonger collected his paintings and dedicated her life to ensure his work got the appreciation and recognition it deserved. His fame came at the cost of her diligence 11 years after he died.

Brad Pitt.: The World Sexiest Actor
October 30, 2011
Brad Pitt is undeniably one of the world’s most famous Hollywood actor and of course the most handsome one. He is a gifted actor. He had been an attraction for the ladies and a substantial one for the media. He had scored enough to get various actresses interested in him eventually getting married to my favorite one, Angelina Jolie. 
The couple had three adopted children Maddox, Pax, and Zahara among their biological ones by the name of Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Before venturing with Angelina Jolie, he had been married to Jennifer Aniston for five years. I don’t know what went wrong but what I heard was that Jennifer couldn’t keep him from straying or Brad was too stubborn, whichever of these may be true, the relationship didn’t work.
Brad Pitt began his acting career with prime-time soap opera Dallas in 1987. His first lead role was in Thelma & Louise in 1991. His first Golden Globe nomination came with Legends of the Fall in 1994. His great acting performances were evident in Seven and, 12 Monkeys in 1995. Fight Club. Came in 1999, Ocean’s Eleven (2001), its following sequels Ocean’s Twelve (2004) and Ocean’s Thirteen (2007). His phenomenal success came with Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) which features his wife Angelina Jolie.
Brad Pitt is a fraction of his original name “William Bradley Pitt”. His father William Alvin Pitt owned a truck company and his mother Jane Etta was a high school counselor. He was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma on December 18, 1963. He grew up in Springfield as a conservative Southern Baptist. That was quite some years ago but as of now Brad Pitt has ceased to be a Christian. He does not believe in the afterlife and describes himself as an agnostic atheist.
There has been some gossip over the couple, Brad and Angelina, belonging to fraternity of Freemasons. Their fans admire them as gifted actors but they find them less than admirable as human beings. Their support for homosexuals and homosexual marriages hasn’t been a publicly acceptable policy. Brad’s appearance on various websites wearing a ring that resembles masonry symbol makes little sense of theories surrounding the couple with the name of Brangelina Conspiracy Theories as there is no substantial evidence as to whether the couple really belongs to such a fraternity. The couple’s snake-designed jewelry in Asprey London (formerly known as Asprey & Garrard) collection, which is a British luxury brand dating back to 1781, adds spice to the theories as snake symbolizes luciferian cult somehow. Since both Angelina and Brad are not very fond of any religion whatsoever, this leaves enough room for conspiracies and related theories to sneak in.
It is also said that Brad is a cousin of President Barak Obama and so is said for Angelina being a cousin of Hilary Clinton. Since the illuminati and freemasonry bloodline theories have been surrounding various American presidents and other officials from a long time, I do really wonder sometimes whether there really is something legitimate about all this.

Jennifer Aniston: The Sweetheart of America
October 25, 2011
I first saw Jennifer Joanna Aniston as Rachel Green on a famous television series “Friends” in 1994. She was cute, full of life and very talented. Her fabulous performance in Friends had earned her respect and a global reputation among spectators of television shows as the program was a huge success. The show ended in 2004 and Jennifer Aniston had become the highest paid television actress of all times by then. Not everyone gets a $1 million paycheck per episode and five Emmy nominations for a television show. 
Jennifer’s father John Aniston is Greek and her mother Nancy Dow is of a Scotitish-Canadian decent. Jennifer Joanna Aniston was born on February 11th, 1969 in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. Her family moved to New York after spending a year in Greece. She graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Performing Arts in Manhattan after attending Rudolf Steiner School. Before moving to Los Angeles, California in 1989 she went through a number of part-time jobs such as telemarketer, messenger and a waitress.
Her first television role was in Molloy (never heard of it) and Camp Cucamonga (didn’t do well either). She went through a lot of scorned television shows and series like The Edge, Muddling Through, Quantum Leap, Herman’s Head, and Burke’s Law. She lost hope and thought of giving up after tremendously mocked-by-critics horror film Leprechaun (1992). We may never have seen a true talented beauty on our television screens if she really would have given it up. After a shower of failures the first ray broke through after auditioning for Friends, a show that made her a millionaire and a star to be envied.
During her appearance in Friends, she started to look for roles in movies as well. After her debut in 1992′s Leprechaun, she managed to get into supporting roles in Dream for an Insomniac, and She’s the One in 1996. Her first lead role came in Picture Perfect (1997). Throughout the late 1990’s she appeared in various films till it was “Bruce almighty” in 2003 that earned her stardom she longed for in film industry. Then Along Came Polly in 2004, Derailed and Rumor Has it in late 2005. Her next box office hit came at the end of 2008 Marley & Me, which earned a worldwide gross of over $242,000,000.
She has appeared in various commercials for Walls, Heineken, Loreal, and Microsoft (Windows 95). She starred in Melissa Etheridge’s music video “I Want to be in Love” in 2001. Jennifer released her personal brand of perfume for women in July 21, 2010 at Harrods in London by the name of Jennifer Aniston leaving an anticipation of a fragrance for men as well. Not much of a business woman, with a net worth of over $110 million, she is one of the 10 richest women in entertainment industry.
Jennifer has been quite adventurous in her personal life. She dated a co-star Charlie Schalatter in 1990 and a musician Adam Duritz for a brief duration in 1995. After dating Tate Donovan (1995-1998), she met Brad Pitt and got married to him on July 29, 2000 in Malibu. Their marriage didn’t work for long and they divorced on March 25, 2005. She then dated Vince Vaughan followed by their split in 2006. Then came Paul Sulfur in 2007 for a few months and John Mayer in 2008. Her last reported relationship is with Justin Therox since May 2011.Copyright © 2011

20 Controversial Facts About “Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, 1st of France”
October 24, 2011
Napoleon was a great military commander, a risk loving gambler, impatient workaholic genius, a skeptical vicious misogynist, tyrant and a usurper; whatever you may call him, this twice an emperor of France had a personality which dominated the whole of Europe for a decade and his thoughts for an entire century worldwide.

4. Napoleon’s hair was sold for $13000 cut off from his head after his death in exile in 1821 on the island of St. Helena.
5. Napoleon’s darkest secret is that he suffered from Hemorrhoids. His pain seemed to have reached its peak during the battle of Waterloo as identified by Dr. Paul Wolf in 2001. Poor guy had to take a bath to relieve his ache, too bad he couldn’t at the battle of Waterloo.
6. A great commander and reformer, his reforms were judicially implemented throughout the world and his military achievements and strategies were studied at military academies worldwide.
7. Although brought up as a Roman Catholic, Napoleon was an atheist.
8. Having failed to conquer the British military, he banned all merchandise and ships from Continental Europe. This commercial boycott of Britain is also called as “Continental System” much like the one used these days to suppress any country refusing to be an ally of our International Imperialistic Community. The “Either you are with us or against us” thing.
9. Napoleon sought support of the Spanish in 1807 to invade Portugal when Portugal refused to comply with his Continental System. Spain refused to assist him so Napoleon invaded Spain too. Sounds like ex-president George W. Bush.

15. Napoleon invaded Russia with an army of over 4, 00,000 but only 40,000 made it to the Berezina River in November 1812. Seems Hitler didn’t realize that his army would meet the same fate in Russia.

17. The defeat of battle of Waterloo ended his imperialistic rule as Emperor of French.

Angelina Jolie: Pretty Little Angel Eyed Beauty Beyond Sight
October 22, 2011
News Worldwide — The highest paid actress since 2009 who earned a nomination for an won an Academy Award for Best Actress, won an Academy Award once, Screen Actors Guild Awards twice and Golden Globe Awards thrice, a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the most beautiful and astounding Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie Voight, has ruled the hearts of men and women alike for over two decades. 
Her first appearance was as a child beside her father in Lookin’ to Get Out in 1982. Her film career began with Cyborg 2 in 1993. The thriller and my all time favorite Hackers (1995) was her first lead role. She continued to mesmerize her audience with George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and Girl Interrupted (1999). Her worldwide fame continued to grow with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and made her count herself among the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003). Next comes another most favorite of mine, starring with Brad Pitt, she overwhelmed her fans with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and an amazing action-thriller Wanted (2008). She got critically acclaimed for her performances in A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008). The list goes on and on.
Angelina Jolie was born at 9:09 am PST to a couple of established actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand on June 4th, 1975 in Los Angeles, California. The word Angelina is referred to as “pretty” or “Lovely” in French. In entirety her name means “Pretty Little Angel Eyes”. Her middle name used to be “Jolie” which she changed afterwards so did her brother James Heaven Voight. Angelina Jolie had a on and off relationship with her father. They both had reconciliation with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) but it got worse by 2002 especially when Voight claimed that she had “serious mental problems”.
Her mother resigned from her acting profession to concentrate on raising her kids after she separated from her husband a year after Angelina Jolie was born. She married a filmmaker Bill Day and moved to Palisades, New York when Jolie was six. Five years later the family moved back to Los Angeles. Angelina Jolie appeared in various stage productions after deciding that it was acting that she wanted to adopt as a profession. She had trained for two years at Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. She wanted to become a funeral director so at the age of 14 she dumped her acting classes and started modeling in New York and London. She came back to her theater studies after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Angelina Jolie couldn’t bond herself emotionally with her fellow students in Beverly Hills High School mostly due to her thin book worm appearance. From her teens throughout till early twenties, she suffered suicidal depression subjected herself to self-harm and use of just about every drug practically possible.
During her work as an actress at different locations, she became aware of the global humanitarian crisis and took personal interest in field missions around the world to help refugees in more than 20 countries. She promoted the cause through mass media using her public profile. Her awareness arose during the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) in Cambodia. She joined UNHCR and has won various awards for her humanitarian work around the globe.
In human terminology, Beauty isn’t the power by which a woman charms her lover and terrifies her husband neither is it measured by having a cute face or a geometrically attractive body. Beauty is the manifestation of our thoughts which comes from our emotions. Emotionally charged Angelina Jolie isn’t just beautiful, she is beautiful beyond sight.Copyright © 2011

Jennifer Lopez; A Singing Sensation or a Business Woman?
October 21, 2011
News Worldwide — A 42 year old singing sensation and acting genius Jennifer Lynn Lopez is my favorite singer and her fame and respect knows no bounds among the celebrities of singing and acting industry. She was born on July 24th, 1969 to a Catholic Puerto Rican couple David Lopez and Guadalupe in Bronx, New York. She was raised in borough’s Castle Hill and had her entire academic career in catholic schools. She has two sisters, Lynda and Leslie. She had been training in dancing and singing since she was 19 and self financed her lessons.
Her career started with a TV comedy program In Living Color as a dancer. Her first lead role was in Selena (1997) which earned her an ALMA Award for being an astounding actress. Continuing her career as an actor she had made a recognizing appearance earlier in an action-packed film Money Train (1995) while her performance in Out of Sight (1998) earned her a second ALMA Award.
She had made a recognizing appearance to me when I happened to watch her debut studio album On the 6 (1999) which featured her well-known-around-the-globe massive hit “If You Had My Love”. Her second album J.Lo (2001) sold 8 Million copies worldwide. A few of her hit singles include ‘If You Had My Love 1999, ‘Waiting for Tonight’ 1999, ‘Feelin’ So Good’ 2000, ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ 2001, ‘Play’ 2001, ‘Ain’t It Funny’ 2001, ‘I’m Real’ 2001, ‘Ain’t It Funny’ 2002, ‘I’m Gonna Be Alright’ 2002, ‘Jenny from the Block’ 2002, ‘All I Have’ (feat. LL Cool J) 2002, ‘I’m Glad’ 2003, ‘Baby I Love You’ 2004, ‘Get Right’ 2005. She kept going with her acting and singing career and appeared in a number of movies with lead roles. Jennifer has won two Grammy Award, two Latin Grammy Award nominations, and three American Music Awards, among six nominations.
Now she definitely knows how to make some good money. As a fashion designer Jennifer Lopez launched a line of outfits in 2003. By the name of JLO by Jennifer Lopez, The line of outfits included several kinds of fashion outfits for young women like jeans, coats, purses, T-shirts, Lingerie, jewelry, accessories etc. Sweetface fashion wear was launched in 2005 and Justsweet for juniors after demoting JLO by Jennifer Lopez. She had a number of animal rights organizations ridiculed by use of fur in Lopez’s fashion lines demonstrated by over a hundred protestors from PETA (People for the Ethical treatment of Animals). I think they should be more concerned for “Ethical Treatment for Humans” in their own country.
She launched a Cuban Restaurant by the name of Madre’s in April 12, 2002 at Pasadena, California. A woman is incomplete without a fragrance; Lopez introduced “Glow by J.Lo”, her debut in perfume industry followed by “Still” and “Miami Glow by J.Lo” by 2004, “Live by Jennifer Lopez” in 2005, “Love at First Glow by J.Lo” and “Live Luxe” in 2006, “Glow After Dark” in 2007, and so on. A Glow line of lotions had also been introduced in between these years. She needed to invest her fortune and she chose well. Ever heard of Nuyorican Productions? Yup, this film and television production company was co-founded by Jennifer Lopez and her manager Benny Medina. She also appeared as a mentor in American Idol and seems pretty satisfied with how things are going right now. She sure knows how to roll and make good money. Copyright © 2011
