Music

The story of Taylor Swift is like a fairy tale. It’s hard to imagine how a shy girl from a small town managed to become a show business star, singing country songs, and being one of the highest-paid and most successful musicians in the world.

When celebrities are preparing for a public event, usually, they do it very carefully. They prepare their skin and hair, they work out, and they plan their outfits. All of them have their secrets, so they look perfect in any situation.

A 15-time Grammy winner, an Oscar winner for Best Song, and also a record holder of The Billboard Music Awards for winning 12 awards in one night — all these titles belong to Adele. The British singer achieved success with lightning speed in 2009. Once, Adele confessed that breaking up with her boyfriend and the negative emotions it caused helped her channel her creativity.

Sometimes a music video deserves more attention than the song it was made for. It’s especially true if an A-list actor takes part in it. These music videos usually have an interesting story behind.

There are stars that can combine the role of parents with their careers, and even after having a baby, they keep going. But other stars are afraid of missing such important moment as their baby’s first steps or words, so they set priorities differently. Some leave the show business forever, others take a temporary break, and some push their work on the sidelines, making time for their families.

After finishing school, it can be hard for many of us to choose our future profession. Even popular stars didn’t know they would be actors or singers. This is why some of them have law degrees, some of them are doctors and economists. And maybe, the world would never hear the names of Eva Longoria or Dwayne Johnson, if they decided to take the career path they were going to take.

In 2019, “they” was named the word of the year by Merriam-Webster. And this happened for a reason. This personal pronoun has taken on a special meaning in recent years. Those who don’t identify themselves with the binary world of women and men use it for self-identification. These people are called non-binary. In the United States, about 11% of LGBTQ adults identify as non-binary in terms of gender.

The link between your hairstyle and your confidence is real, and it’s been scientifically proven. This study was conducted by researchers at Yale University, who concluded that a “bad” hairstyle is likely to make people feel more insecure and become overly critical of themselves. This can happen to celebrities also, as we often see them drastically change their hairstyles.

It’s hard to believe it today, but before the first time Sophie Turner met Joe Jonas, she didn’t have any big expectations. But life had its own ideas for these two. And just 1 year later, the couple announced their engagement, and today, they already have 2 children.

Most children choose a different career path from their parents. But of course, there are other cases. A study shows that there is a connection between the job of close relatives and the choice of future profession. Some families have generations of doctors, teachers, and actors. It’s possible that the innate abilities and the right surroundings let the talent really show itself.

Same like us, regular people, celebrities often use tattoos as a means of self-expression, making them an integral part of their image, or even paying homage to a person or an event with their body art. Fans have always had a genuine interest in their idols’ tattoos. And though some celebrities try not to show them off, considering them a very intimate thing, others don’t hold back, talking openly about their importance.

Some celebrities try to protect their parents from cameras and the media. But others accept the fact that their families will be more or less famous. Maybe, this is why many stars show up for red carpet events with their parents.

Children of worldwide-known celebrities don’t always decide to pursue the same careers as their parents, some even deliberately avoid being in public and rarely appear in front of cameras. But even in such cases, the faces of the famous heirs give them away: when you look at them, it becomes crystal clear which family they come from.

IQ stands for an intelligence quotient which means a person’s level of intelligence. This concept and a test, vaguely reminiscent of a modern one, appeared in 1904, and since then people have continued to argue whether these numbers are really meaningful. And despite the fact that there is no unified opinion about it, these tests are still used to determine the IQ score of different people and even of those who are long-gone.

Famous writer Tolkien and his wife threw sugar at others, Schwarzenegger’s accent is too rural, and Emma Watson can give yoga classes. Although these facts sound a bit strange, every single one of them is true.

During public events, celebrities are visible to hundreds of people and dozens of journalists. This is why even the slightest problem or an awkward move becomes the main topic of conversation in the media the following day. Some stars step on their own dresses and almost fall or their outfits unzip at the worst possible time. And we really admire the way they handle these situations.

At first sight, celebrities look incredibly confident, and their fans think their appearances are flawless. But we need to remember that celebrities are people, just like us, with their own insecurities and problems. Some stars try to fix their appearance flaws, or, at the very least, not draw attention to them, and others talk about the things they don’t like about themselves.

As a person becomes more and more famous, they start attending social events, where their appearance must be nothing short of perfect. That is why aspiring showbiz stars try to achieve that “Hollywood smile” as soon as possible. Of course, these changes don’t go unnoticed by the photographers.

Some fans love their idols so much that they are ready to follow them around different cities hoping to see them, get an autograph, or take a picture with them. And some people meet actors, singers, and other celebrities by accident.
