CHARLIZE THERON: GORGEOUS, TRENDY AND SEXY ACTRESS

Hi friends! Today we are going to talk about my favorite movie star: Charlize Theron. In my opinion she’s the prettiest and sexiest actress in the world. Well I think that I’m not the only one who thinks so because she’s just been elected as the “sexiest woman alive” by the readers of “Esquire” magazine. I must admit that I fully agree with it. Charlize was born in Benoni, South Africa in August on August the 7th 1975. Therefore she’s 32 years old. Charlitze grew up as the only children on her parent’s farm near Johannesburg.When she was 15 she had a harrowing experience. Charlize witnessed how her mother killed her father (an abusive alcoholic) in an act of self-defense. Soon after that incident and after winning a local model contest Charlize traveled to Milan on a one-year modeling contract. After her contract expired she tried to become a ballet dancer and took classes in the Joffrey Ballet School of New York but a knee injury cut her career short even before having started.
After that, Charlize moved to Los Angeles where she got her first role in the direct-to-video film “Children of the Com III”. Eventually her career skyrocketed in the late 1990,s with successes like “The Devil’s Advocate”, “The Cider House Rules”, and “Mighty Joe Young”. Her big break came in 2003 when she starred as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the film “Monster”, one of the greatest performances in the history. For her role in the movie she was awarded an Oscar in February 2004 as well as the Golden Globe Award becoming the first South-african actress ever to win an Oscar for best actress. In 2005 she received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After winning the Oscar she starred in “North Country” (for which she earned a new nomination for an Oscar) and “Aeon Flux” (where she injured her neck on the set during a stunt). Her latest movie “In the Valley of Ellah” will have its first showing very soon and she’s been elected to co-star in the 2008 movie "Hancock" with Will Smith, a movie featuring Theron and Smith, a couple who have an affair. Nowadays Charlize is ranked seventh on the list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.
Charlize is not only a successful actress. She’s has also worked as a model. In 2004 she signed a contract with John Galiano and replaced Estonian Model Tiiu Kuik in the J’ADORE ads by Christian Dior. She’s the current spokeswoman for Dior fragrances and has also advertised Raymond Weil watches. Talking about her private life, Charlize dated Stephan Jenkins (singer of Third Eye Blind) for three years but they broke up after Jenkins refused to accept her marriage proposal. I think this guy is not very clever. Where is he going to find someone better than Charlize? After that, Charlize started dating Stuart Townsend with whom she’s currently living in Los Angeles. Anyway, Charlize has said that they will not marry until same-sex couples are able to have their marriages recognized. Charlize Theron is also involved in women’s rights organizations and she’s an active supporter of animal rights and as other celebrities (such as Pamela Anderson and Fernanda Tavares) Charlize is an active member of PETA. She recently appeared in an advert for their anti-fur campaign.

This is Charlize's complete filmography:

1996: "2 Days in the Valley", "That Thing You Do"
1997: "Trial and Error", "The Devil's Advocate"
1998: "Celebrity Supermodel", "Mighty Joe Young"
1999: "The Astronaut's Wife", "The Cider House Rules"
2000: "Reindeer Games", "The Yards", "The Legend of Bagger Vance", "Men of Honor"
2001: "Sweet November", "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion"
2002: "Trapped", "Waking Up in Reno"
2003: "The Italian Job", "Monster"(Won Best Actress Academy Award)
2004: "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers", "Head in the Clouds"
2005: "North Country" (Nominated for Best Actress Academy Award), "Æon Flux"

KERRI WALSH AND MISTY MAY: BEACH VOLLEYBALL OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS

Hi friends!! Let’s change gears and let’s go back into sports again. Imagine the scenario and try to guess the place: a sunny day, a cheering crowd, a sandy court, a volleyball net and four people trying to pass the ball over the net. Most probably you would say that we’re talking about California or Rio de Janeiro. You could be right but not necessarily. This could also happen in Paris, New York or Gstaad.

The sport we are talking about is beach volleyball and can be played anywhere. I must confess that I like women’s beach volleyball. You can find a wonderful atmosphere, beautiful cheerleaders, and perfect bodies under the sun. But there’s something I don’t understand. Why so much touching, kissing and close physical contact after winning a point?? Without a doubt our guests are the queens in the kingdom of women’s beach volleyball. You will have guessed that I’m referring to Kerri Walsh (born August 15, 1978) and Misty May-Treanor (born July 30, 1977) the famous and successful American beach volleyball team that won the gold medal in the last Olympic Games held in Athens in 2004.
They both started playing indoor volleyball in high school and kept on playing in university where they won several titles. Kerri Walsh graduated from Stanford in 1999 with a degree in American Studies and Misty May-Treanor graduated from California State University, Long Beach. In recent years they have worked a lot to boost beach volleyball and help make it a popular sport. In the 2004 Summer Olympics, Kerri and Misty won the gold medal for women’s beach volleyball for the US team. Winning an unprecedented ninety-one matches and 16 tournaments in a row, Walsh and May captured the gold without losing a single game. Currently Walsh is ranked as the best female volleyball player in the world, and the Kerri Walsh-Misty May duo seems to be almost unstoppable on both the AVP and FIVB Beach Volleyball tours. Further into the future, they are likely to participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a strong seed to win a second gold medal. As beach volleyball is a sport where athletes can perform effectively well into their 30's, such a prediction is within reason. Kerri is married to men's beach volleyball player Casey Jennings, and Misty is married to Florida Marlins catcher Matt Treanor.

TITLE RECORD

Olympic Games:
Athens 2004: Gold Medal

World Championships
Rio de Janeiro 2003: Gold Medal

Gstaad 2007: Gold Medal

YELENA ISINBAYEVA: THE FLYING RUSSIAN WOMAN

Can woman fly? Apparently not. Only apparently. This Russian athlete,Yelena Isinbayeva, can. All she needs is a pole and a cheering crowd backing her. For a split second she seems to stop well over the crossbar and smile to the crowd before falling onto the landing mat. Yelena was born in Volgograd, the former Stalingrad, in Russia. Maybe when she was a child she was imbued with the spirit and strenght of those who defended her hometown during WWII. Now Yelena lives up to their memory. Yelena Isinbayeva goes higher and higher like a Soyuz spacecraft but using only her muscles and a pole.

Yelena flies like a wingless Pegasus of the modern era. Isinbayeva won the 2004 Olympic Gold Medal with a new World Record (then 4.91 m), was elected Female Athlete of the Year by the IAAF twice (2004 and 2005), and Sportswoman of the Year by Laureus, and has set 20 world records. Unbelievable. On July 22, 2005, Yelena became the first female pole vaulter to clear 5.00 metres. She's not only one of the best athletes in the world but also one of the prettiest female athletes. In the recent World Championships in Athletics held in Osaka she revalidated her World Champion title although she was not able to break her own world record getting only 4.80. A real flying woman: Yelena Isinbayeva.

David inherited his parents' love of Manchester United where he would play for 11 years.

On 10 January 2007, after prolonged contract negotiations, Real Madrid announced that Beckham would not remain at Real Madrid after the end of the season.On 11 January 2007 Beckham announced that he had signed a five-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy beginning 1 July 2007. On 13 July, he was officially unveiled as a Galaxy player in a ceremony at the Home Depot Center. Married to pop star Victoria, Beckham is considered by many more of a model than a football player. David is constantly sought after by clothing designers, health and fitness specialists, fashion magazines, perfume and cosmetics manufacturers, and hair stylists and is the face of companies such as Pepsi, Adidas, Motorola, Gillete y Volkswagen.

Carolina Kluft runs faster, jumps longer and throws farther than any of her competitors. Carolina has become the third women ever to break the 7,000 point barrier in the heptathlon. The Swedish heptathlete signed a contract to become the new face of Reebok for the coming years. The first thing Carolina asked Reebok representatives was whether or not they use children to produce their gear. They said they don't. Anyway Carolina told them she will visit Reebok's factories just to be sure. On March 19, 2008 Carolina announced she would not contest any heptathlons in 2008 and so, wouldn't defend her title at Beijing, stating that she was no longer motivated to train for and compete in heptathlons. Klüft decided to concentrate on long jump and also train seriously for triple jump. Carolina Kluft entered both the long jump and triple jump at the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
