My idol Fergie


Stacy Ann Ferguson

Stacy Ann Ferguson (born March 27, 1975), better known by her stage name Fergie, is an American pop and R&B singer, songwriter, and actress. She is a former member of the kids' TV series Kids Incorporated, and the girl group Wild Orchid. Ferguson was also a co-host of the TV show Great Pretenders. She is currently a vocalist for the hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas, as well as a solo artist; releasing her first solo album, The Dutchess, in 2006.
Ferguson was born in Whittier, California to Terri Gore and Patrick Ferguson in nearby Hacienda Heights. She has one sister, Dana, who is an actress. Her parents were Catholic and worked as schoolteachers, and Ferguson had a strict Catholic upbringing. During her youth, she was involved with members of the Mexican gangs in Hacienda Heights. Ferguson attended Glen A. Wilson High School.
Ferguson was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid, which she fronted with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee Sandstrom. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third album, their record label declined to release it, and she left the group shortly thereafter
In 2003, Ferguson took over the lead female vocal duties for the Black Eyed Peas, replacing background singer Kim Hill, who had left the group in 2000. Ferguson recorded five songs with the group before she was invited to join them permanently. Ferguson's addition to the band, which had enjoyed underground success until then, helped them quickly grow into mainstream popularity.

I like Fergie because she is a great singer and I love her style.

Eva Jacqueline Longoria
By Anneli


Born Eva Jacqueline Longoria on March 15, 1975 in Corpus Christi, Texas, the future star of Desperate Housewives grew up on her parents' ranch as the youngest of four girls.
Naturally beautiful, with intelligence to match, Longoria later attended Texas A&M University in Kingsville.
Upon graduating, she entered and won the Miss Corpus Christi USA contest. This soon led to an acting career in Los Angeles where - following a brief stint at stage acting - she joined the cast of the TV soap opera hit, The young and the Restless playing Isabella Bran Williams.
During her two years on the show, Longoria gained a cult following among the show's many fans as well as an Alma award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama.
Longoria's bid for movie stardom in 2003 saw her appearing beside James Cahill in the forgettable Snitch’s, followed by her breakthrough performance on the small screen as Gabrielle Solis in the TV mega-hit, Desperate Housewives the following year.
She has since become a very popular 'Web Caleb' - with plenty of attention paid to the star by a cyber following made up of mostly male fans.
Her two-year marriage to actor Tyler Christopher ended in divorce in 2005.
After subsequently dating 22-year old San Antonio Spurs basketball star player Tony Parker for over a year, Longoria suddenly announced her engagement in late November 2006.
Longoria and Parker are to wed in France in the summer of 2007. The Desperate Housewives star and her basketball star fiancé are reportedly exchanging wedding vows at the lavish Chateau de Chantilly in Parker's native France.
The wedding date has been set as the auspicious July 7, 2007, or 07-07-07, with a star-studded wedding shower already having taken place in April, attended by all of her Desperate Housewives co-stars.
Professionally, Longoria is reportedly planning not to return to Desperate Housewives after this season. Currently, she is working on a return to the big screen opposite co-star Christian Bale on a low-budget Indies feature, Harsh Times, released to mixed reviews in 2006. Other future film projects include work on the animated feature, Food Fight! as the voice of Lady X, as well as a starring role in the film comedy How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiancée.


Die Ärzte

Band foundation and early years


Die Ärzte were formed in 1982 by Jan Vetter (alias Farin Urlaub, a pun on the expression "Fahr in Urlaub", meaning "Go on holiday"), Dirk Felsenheimer (alias Bela B.) and bassist Hans Runge (alias Sahnie). Bela and Farin had previously played together in a band "Soilent Grün" ("Soilent Green" after the movie); after that band broke up they decided to form another band to play fun songs, in contrast to the mostly political bands of the punk scene at that time. While coming from that punk scene, their early music was heavily influenced by Pop and Rock'n'Roll, especially The Beatles, whom Farin heard a lot as a child from his mother playing their records. Another influence is thought to be the Comedian Harmonists; however, the band denies any known connection to their music.
In the first two years they mostly played in clubs in their hometown, Berlin. Their first release was a contribution to the sampler "20 überschäumende Stimmungshits" (roughly, "20 exuberant mood hits"), featuring a strong alcohol theme (a translation of their song lyrics "you drink whiskey, he drinks beer, I like milk", is an example of their sense of humor). In 1983 they won a rock contest in Berlin and with the prize money they recorded their debut EP "Uns gehts Prima" (We're doing great). Finally Columbia Records signed them, and they released their first LP "Debil" in 1984 then their second "Im Schatten der Ärzte" (In the shadow of Die Ärzte) a year later.

Problems with censorship, growing success and breakup


After the second album they parted ways with Sahnie due to internal problems. He was replaced by producer Miccey Meuser on the third album. Later the Incredible Hagen played bass for them until their breakup, although he never became an official member of the band. The third album was also the first time that Farin used distorted guitar sounds on most of the album, moving the band's sound a bit towards Rock.
In 1987 the German Federal Centre for Media Harmful to Young Persons put the songs Geschwisterliebe ("Sibling Love", a song about incest, from the eponymous album "Die Ärzte"), Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund ("Claudia has a German shepherd", about zoophilia, from "Debil") and Schlaflied ("Lullaby", about a monster coming and eating you after falling asleep, also from "Debil") on the German List of Media Harmful to Young People. This prohibited the band performing the songs live or promoting the two albums and, more importantly, from shops from openly displaying their records on their shelves. After several trials against shops that still openly sold the records, a lot of shops removed Die Ärzte completely from their stock. The result was a drop in record sales and big financial problems for the band. In response they released the compilation "Ab 18" ("Adults Only") containing all their songs (despite being listed on the Index) with some other old and new tasteless songs, and the greatest hits album "Ist Das Alles?" (Is that everything?). The album and the new singles were fairly successful, partly because of growing media interest due to the previous censorship.
The following album "Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit" (That is not the whole truth) was even more successful, climbing into the top 10 of the German album charts. They decided to go out on a high note and split up after doing one last tour and releasing a live triple album, "Nach Uns Die Sintflut", later released as a double CD, that became their first number one in the album charts.

Reunion


Neither Farin's new band King Køng nor Bela's Depp Jones were really successful, so in 1993 they decided to reform. They invited Rodrigo Gonzales, who was guitarist in Depp Jones and a friend of Bela, to play bass guitar. Their comeback single, and their first ever political song, was Schrei nach Liebe (Scream for Love). It was recorded as a statement against the perceived growth in racism and right wing extremist violence in Germany at that time. The translation of the song's refrain is "Your violence is just a silent scream for love / Your combat boots are craving for tenderness / You never learnt to express yourself / And your parents never had time for you / Oh oh oh asshole". It can be considered as a response to people who make simple judgements about racism. The album was more varied than previous releases, with ballads, punk, Rock and traditional German sounds. Both the album and single became big hits in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their follow-up "Planet Punk" was also very successful.
In 1996 they wanted to make an EP just about hair, however, they wrote too many songs for an EP and it soon became their next album, "Le Frisur" (Le Hairdo). It was not as successful as its predecessors. Also during this year, as well as touring in their own right, they also supported Kiss - a dream come true for Bela and Rod.
1998 was perhaps the most successful year of their career to date. The single "Männer sind Schweine" (Men are Pigs) became their first number 1 single in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the album "13" also being number 1 in Germany and Switzerland. After a lot of promotion and touring that year, they decided to take a break and also to never again play "Männer sind Schweine" during concerts; due in part to its huge chart success, which in turn attracted unwanted and unimaginative remakes, e.g. "Frauen sind Schweine" (Women are pigs).
Recent years


In 2000 they came back with another very successful album, "Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!", and two top 10 singles. For the third single from the album they released the 30-second-song "Yoko Ono", which, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is the shortest single ever released - another example of their sense of humour. During their tour in 2001 they sold the limited edition album "5, 6, 7, 8 Bullenstaat" consisting of short punk songs that were written and recorded with the previous years full length album published a year before, and with some cover songs that were published in 1994 (another tour only EP).
After that they again took a break: Bela did some acting and Farin recorded his first solo album Endlich Urlaub! (Finally Urlaub! or Finally Holiday!). In late 2002 they did an MTV Unplugged session in a school auditorium with the schools band. The following year they released a new two CD album Geräusch (Noise). Then during the 2004 tour a live DVD was recorded and published the following year.
Whilst the band was on another break, Farin released another solo album Am Ende der Sonne (At the end of the sun). In 2005 a new version of the album "Debil" was released under the name "Devil" containing the original track listings plus some B-sides and previously unreleased bonus material.

Band name

ä with three dots
The band chose the name "Die Ärzte" because, to their knowledge, no other band in Germany or anywhere used the letter Ä, and when they went into a store they missed this letter. They did not seek any affiliation with medical issues whatsoever - a fact that was all too often forgotten by journalists and bootleg manufacturers, who included wordplays and allusions to hospitals, medicine, surgery etc. in article headers and record titles. On their 2003 album Geräusch (Noise), they spell their name with three dots over the a in ärzte, a sort of triaeresis mark that does not correspond to any real language construct — a play on the heavy metal umlaut. This can be represented in Unicode: die ä̇rzte. Note that "Die Ärzte", with two dots, is correct German orthography and not related to the heavy metal umlaut.
International success
The band has been immensely popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, while also enjoying some success in other Northern European countries. Much of the band's popularity can be attributed to their humorous lyrics, which are lost on non-German speakers. Die Ärzte are virtually unknown outside of Europe, aside from descendants of German nationals abroad.
The band considered releasing an album in English in the mid-90s, but they felt that they would lose part of their identity and they dropped the idea. In 2002 they did a short tour in Japan and released a compilation of their last albums there, and in 2004 they did a short tour in South America, but did not have as much impact as Die Toten Hosen.
Despite being considered controversial in Germany, Ärzte songs have been used in German classes in high schools and universities outside of Germany as a teaching aid to teach German as a foreign language.
Trivia
The band has a very clear and strict anti-fascist attitude.
Die Ärzte has released the greatest number of albums (24 albums) of any German rock band
Rod (the bassist) was born in Chile.
"Ein überdimensionales Meerschwein frisst die Erde auf - Die nackte Wahrheit" (A colossal guinea pig is eating the earth - the naked truth) is the title for the biography from "Die Ärzte"
Gwendoline from the song "Sweet sweet Gwendoline" (a song dealing with bondage) is the mascot of the band.

my idol







Erki Nool is probably the most famous sports man and an idol for many young people.
Erki Nool was born in Võru (which is a small town in south of Estonia) on 25 June 1970. He was Estonia's best athlete in the years 1996-1998, and again in 2000. He was the European Indoor heptathlon champion in 1996. In 1998 Erki Nool became the European Champion and the winner of the Grand Prix. He has won several medals at the World Indoor Championship and at the European Championship. Nool placed sixth at the Atlanta Olympic Games. He is the Estonian record holder in the decathlon, the 200m, and the long jump. In 2000, Erki Nool was the decathlon gold medallist at the Summer Olympics in Sydney. At the World Outdoor Championship in Edmonton, in 2001, Nool won the silver medal.
In 1997, Estonian sports enthusiasts founded the Erki Nool fan club. The Estonians’ love and respect for their world class athlete can also be seen from the fact that during the Olympic Games in Sydney, many schools did not have classes on the days when Erki Nool competed.
At the moment Erki Nool has become a coach. He is also a very active member of the society-since yesterday he is a member of our parliament. He is a member of a political party, which belongs to the right. I hope he will support building sport halls and sport generally.

My idol- Eda Ines Etti



My idol



Eda-Ines Etti (born 26 May 1981 in Haapsalu) is a singer and celebrity in Estonia, also known to a wider international audience for her association, in various forms, with her country's enthusiastic participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
In 2000, under her abbreviated stage name Ines, she was Estonia's representative for the contest in Sweden. Her song "Once In A Lifetime" had been tipped for what would have been a famous victory, but in the end came fourth.
Eda-Ines Etti entered Eurolaul in 2006 with the song "Iseendale", which came a close second to the winner "Through My Window".
Ines and Koit Toome are the sexiest.
In 2004 for the eight time “Kroonika” (popular yellow magazine) readers choose from Estonian famous people the sexiest men and women. They were young singers Koit Toome and Eda Ines. This party was shown on TV. Many young people watched this.
She helps at charity; she has worked with the foundation of children’s hospital in Tallinn.
I personally think that she is a very good singer and extremely beautiful woman. And I can easily understand the young girls whose idol she is.
