BERA bio

live with my music,” says pop newcomer, Bera, who at age 1 couldn’t walk or talk but knew how to turn on the radio. “I was attracted to the music when I was born.” Gifted with perfect pitch, he was handed a violin at age 5 and started piano two years later. He’s classically trained, but it’s his love for jazz that has him motivated to create. “I’m able to play any song I like on the radio,” says the Paris native who also calls the Republic of Georgia home. Given his history it’s no surprise that at age 16 this musical phenom has two of the music world’s most powerful producers, Rob Fusari (Lady Gaga) and Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson) backing his debut.

Determined to define his own destiny Bera launched Georgian Dream record label in 2010 and quickly began work on his first album. “Dreams are something that are very close to me,” he says explaining his name choice. “I wrote my first lyric in a dream.”

He also wrote all of the songs on his upcoming debut which he says can be divided musically and lyrically into two parts, “a more fun, club, up-tempo side and the laid-back, loverboy, romantic side.” The first single, “Favorite Things,” produced by Fusari is a mid-tempo love song where Bera shares an intimate glimpse into his world. “I really love ‘Favorite Things’ because it shows who I am. In three minutes it shows my universe. Everything I say in my songs comes from something real.”

On the flip side, the Jerkins produced club bangers, “Hands on the Wall” and “Light it Up,” are destined dance hits that capture Bera’s self-assured swagger and embody his sensual sound. Make no mistake this 16-year-old is not your average kid. Charismatic beyond his years, he exudes confidence with an irresistible charm. Recognizing the musical magic that was made on this record, Bera says it was fantastic working with Fusari and Jerkins. “We built a relationship. The vibe was really good and I really grew up with them. Artistically they gave me a lot.”

Other influences that helped shape Bera’s sound include his passion for several genres of music. “I love jazz, soul and I’m definitely ol’ school. He cites Tupac and Michael Jackson as his favorites and says he listens to an eclectic array of artists including Notorious B.I.G., Barry White, Lionel Richie and Lenny Kravitz.” Love is also a big inspiration which comes across clearly in his work. “My songs are very seductive. When I write a song I picture a girl and I’m writing that song for her, even if she doesn’t exist. Even when I write with pain I write it cause of the love.”

While Bera says he would love to win a coveted Grammy award his biggest wish is “when someone thinks about me or my music I want them to smile. I don’t need to be a superstar. I don’t want to be that untouchable guy. I want to be like you and I want you to feel my music and enjoy it with me. I just want to share my feelings.” By the sound of things, he’ll be sharing for a long time.

Valentino

VALENTINO


Valentino Garavani - who, like all megastars, is known simply by his first name -is Italy's greatest couturier and one of the most respected designers showing in Paris. While wannabe glamour girls lust after his V-logo belts and bejewelled sandals, to his loyal following of moneyed couture clients Valentino is synonymous with showstopping evening dresses, which are immaculately cut in lean, feminine lines with dramatic flourishes such as ruffles, romantic embroideries and judicious use of his favourite shade of bright red.

Born in Voghera, south of Milan, in 1932, Valentino travelled to Paris at just 17 and, following studies at the Chambre Syndicale de la Mode, was apprenticed to Jean Desses and Guy Laroche. In 1959 he returned to Italy to establish his own atelier on Via Condotti in central Rome; Elizabeth Taylor, in town to film 'Spartacus', was one of Valentino's earliest clients.

In 1963, he launched his first full collection, to universal acclaim, at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, and by 1967 he had won the Neiman Marcus Award, the first of many accolades. Appearances on the covers of both Time and Life magazines followed, and in 1968 Valentino was chosen by Jackie Kennedy to design the dress for her wedding to Aristotle Onassis.

At the end of the '60s, Valentino met Giancarlo Giametti, a former architecture student who would become the business brains behind the expanding fashion house and in 1970 ready-to-wear collections, for both men and women, were debuted.

By 1998 the pair had decided to sell the house, to Italian conglomerate Holding di Partecipazioni Industriali, which in turn sold the brand to Marzotto, in 2003. In July 2005 Marzotto created Valentino Fashion Group, which operates as a separate, publicly-traded concern.

Over the years the perfectly-groomed designer has dressed the most privileged women of the day, including Princess Margaret, Marella Agnelli and Begum Aga Khan. In 2002 his Hollywood credentials were re-affirmed when Julia Roberts wore an elegant black-and-white vintage Valentino dress to the Oscars. Valentino has been honoured by the governments of Italy, where he was awarded the Cavaliere di Gran Croce(1986) and France, which decorated him as a Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur (2005).

Kate Middleton

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton on 9 January 1982) is the wife of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. Catherine grew up in Chapel Row at Bucklebury, a village near Newbury, Berkshire, and studied in Scotland at the University of St Andrews, where she met Prince William in 2001. They started a romantic relationship that continued until a break-up lasting for several months in 2007. However, they continued to be friends and rekindled their relationship later that year.

Prior to her wedding, the Duchess attended many high-profile royal events. She has been admired for her fashion sense and has been placed on numerous "best dressed" lists. Once their relationship became public, Catherine received widespread media attention and there was much speculation that she and Prince William would eventually marry. On 16 November 2010 the office of the Prince at Clarence House announced their engagement, with details announced one week later. Catherine Middleton married Prince William on 29 April 2011 (Feast Day of Saint Catherine of Siena) at Westminster Abbey.





Early life and family

Catherine was born at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading on 9 January 1982 and christened at St Andrew's Bradfield, Berkshire on 20 June 1982.:32 She is the eldest of three children born to Carole Elizabeth (née Goldsmith), a former flight attendant and now part-owner of Party Pieces with an estimated worth of £30 million, and Michael Francis Middleton, who also worked as a flight attendant prior to becoming a flight dispatcher for British Airways, currently also an owner of Party Pieces. Her parents married on 21 June 1980 at the Parish Church of Dorney, Buckinghamshire, and in 1987 founded Party Pieces, a successful mail order company that sells party supplies and decorations. Catherine's two siblings are a sister, Philippa Charlotte, known as "Pippa" (born 1983), and a brother, James William (born 1987). The family have complained about press harassment of Pippa and their mother since Catherine's engagement.

Catherine's paternal family came from Leeds, West Yorkshire, and her great-grandmother Olivia was a member of the Lupton family, who were active for generations in Leeds in commercial and municipal work. Her ancestors include The Rev. Thomas Davis, a Church of England hymn-writer. Carole Middleton's maternal family, the Harrisons, were working class labourers and miners from Sunderland and County Durham.

Catherine's parents were based in Amman, Jordan, working for British Airways from May 1984 to September 1986, where Catherine went to an English language nursery school, before returning to their home in Berkshire.After her return from Amman, Catherine was educated at St. Andrew's School in the village of Pangbourne in Berkshire, then briefly at Downe House.She continued her studies at Marlborough College, a co-educational independent boarding school in Wiltshire, followed by the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland where she met William. She graduated with a 2:1 (Hons) in the History of Art.

Career

In November 2006 Catherine accepted a position as an accessory buyer with the clothing chain Jigsaw. In September 2007 it was reported that Catherine was planning to give up her job as an accessory buyer to become a professional photographer. It was announced[citation needed] that she intended to take private classes with photographer Mario Testino, who had taken several well-known photographs of Diana, Princess of Wales and her sons. Catherine and Testino apparently were introduced by Prince William. Testino later denied that Catherine was going to be working for him.

Public image and style

Catherine has been featured in several best-dressed lists and was selected by The Daily Telegraph as the "Most Promising Newcomer" in its 2006 list of style winners and losers. Tatler placed her at number 8 on its yearly listing of the top ten style icons in 2007. She was featured in People magazine's 2007 and 2010 best-dressed lists.[27] Catherine was named as one of Richard Blackwell's ten "Fabulous Fashion Independents" of 2007.[28] In June 2008 Style.com selected Catherine as its monthly beauty icon. In July 2008 Catherine was included in Vanity Fair's international best-dressed list.In February 2011 Catherine was named the Top Fashion Buzzword of the 2011 season by the Global Language Monitor.

Prince William

Catherine's status as the undeclared girlfriend of William brought her widespread media coverage in Britain and abroad and she was often photographed on her daily outings. On 17 October 2005 she complained through her lawyer about harassment from the media, stating that she had done nothing significant to warrant such publicity.In February 2006, it was announced that Catherine would receive her own 24-hour security detail supplied by the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Department. This fuelled further speculation that she and William would soon be engaged, since she would not otherwise be entitled to this service.

No engagement occurred and Catherine was not granted an allowance to fund this security. Media attention increased around the time of Catherine's 25th birthday in January 2007, prompting warnings from both Charles and William and from Catherine's lawyers, who threatened legal action. Two newspaper groups, News International, which publishes The Times and The Sun, and the Guardian Media Group, publishers of The Guardian, decided to refrain from publishing paparazzi photographs of her. Catherine attended at least one event as an official royal guest, William's Passing Out Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on 15 December 2006. In December 2007 it was reported that Catherine had moved in with Prince William at Clarence House, the residence of the Prince of Wales in London. Clarence House later denied this.

On 17 May 2008 Catherine attended the wedding of William's cousin Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly, which the prince did not attend. On 19 July 2008 she was a guest at the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor and George Gilman. William was away on military operations in the Caribbean, serving aboard the HMS Iron Duke.[38] In 2010 Catherine pursued an invasion of privacy claim against two agencies and photographer Niraj Tanna, who took pictures of her over Christmas 2009.Catherine obtained a public apology, £5,000 in damages, and legal costs.

Breakup and reconciliation



On 14 April 2007 The Sun newspaper broke a "world exclusive" suggesting that Prince William and Catherine had split up.Other media outlets, such as the BBC, confirmed the story as the day progressed. The couple decided to break up during a holiday in the Swiss resort of Zermatt. Clarence House made only one comment about the relationship's end, according to The Times, stating, "We don't comment on Prince William's private life." Newspapers speculated about the reasons for the split, although these reports relied on anonymous sources.

The original report in The Sun quoted a "close friend of the couple" as saying that Catherine felt William had not been paying her enough attention. The paper highlighted reports that William had been spending time with other young women and said the Prince, aged 24 at the time of the split, felt he was too young to marry. A report in the Daily Mail blamed a desire by royal courtiers not to "hurry along" a marriage announcement, and William's desire to enjoy his bachelor status within his Army career. The Mail also suggested that a friend of William encouraged the Prince to take a "careless approach" to relationships. The same article suggested that Catherine had "expected too much" in wanting William to demonstrate his commitment to her.

In June 2007 Catherine and William insisted they were "just good friends" following reports of a reconciliation. Catherine and her family attended the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium, where she and William sat two rows apart. The couple were subsequently seen together in public on a number of occasions and several news sources, including the BBC and the Daily Mail, stated that they had "rekindled their relationship". Catherine also joined William and Charles on a deerstalking expedition at Balmoral and attended the wedding of William's cousin, Peter Phillips, even though William, due to a prior commitment, did not. In April 2008 Catherine accompanied William when he was awarded his RAF wings at the Royal Air Force College Cranwell. On 16 June 2008 Catherine attended William's investiture into the Order of the Garter, along with the Royal Family.


Prince William and Catherine Middleton became engaged in October 2010 in Kenya, East Africa, during a 10-day trip to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy to celebrate William passing his RAF helicopter search and rescue course.

Clarence House announced the engagement on 16 November 2010. The couple married in Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011,with the day declared a bank holiday in the United Kingdom.

Public appearances

Catherine was formally introduced to public life on 24 February 2011, two months before the wedding, when she and William attended a lifeboat naming ceremony in Trearddur, North Wales. On 16 February 2011 Clarence House announced that the Duke and Duchess' first royal tour of Canada would take place in July 2011.

Unlike the majority of royal brides, and in contrast to most previous consorts-in-waiting for over 350 years, Catherine does not come from a royal or aristocratic background and therefore has no title of her own. On 29 April 2011 Prince William was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus; Catherine's full style and title hence is Her Royal Highness Princess William Arthur Philip Louis, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus.

Coat of ArmsArms of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Notes The Duchess bears the arms of her husband, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, impaled with her own arms. Catherine's coat of arms is based on those of her father Michael Middleton. Thomas Woodcock, Garter King of Arms, the senior officer of the College of Arms, helped the family with the design.

Crest Coronet of a child of the Heir Apparent

Escutcheon Quarterly 1st and 4th gules three lions passant guardant in pale or armed and langed azure (England), 2nd or a lion rampant gules armed and langued azure within a double tressure flory counterflory of the second (Scotland), 3rd azure a harp or stringed argent (Ireland), the whole differenced with a label of three points argent with the central point charged with an escallop gules (Prince William); Impaled with a shield per pale Azure and Gules, a chevron Or, cotised Argent, between three acorns slipped and leaved Or (Middleton).

Symbolism The dividing line (between two colours) down the centre is a canting of the name 'Middle-ton'. The acorns (from the oak tree) is a traditional symbol of England and a feature of west Berkshire, where the family have lived for 30 years. The three acorns also denote the family's three children. The gold chevron in the centre of the arms is an allusion to Carole Middleton's maiden name of Goldsmith. The two white chevronels (narrow chevrons above and below the gold chevron) symbolise peaks and mountains, and the family's love of the Lake District and skiing.

Previous versions Her previous coat of arms, granted on the 19 April 2011, depicted a lozenge shaped shield of arms which hangs from a blue ribbon, this symbolised her unmarried state. This version of the arms is now used only by her sister Pippa as it denotes a spinster daughter of their father Michael Middleton.



Ancestry

Catherine shares many ancestors with Prince William. The closest relationship via William's mother is a common descent from Sir Thomas Fairfax (d. 1520/1) and his wife Agnes Gascoine. The closest relationship via William's father is a common descent from Sir William Gascoine (d. 1487) and his wife, née Lady Margaret Percy. The Daily Mail also contends they are both descended from Sir Thomas Leighton (ca. 1530–1610), Governor of Guernsey from 1570 to 1609, and his wife Elizabeth Knollys (1549–1605), who was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth I.

Chelsea Kane: Joe Jonas kissing was not bad

Chelsea Kane, star of Disney Channel, probably became the envy of many "Jonathan " after she had labial contact with the admired musician Joe Jonas in the series 'Jonas'.

Emma Watson is Leaving Brown University

Emma Watson's break from Brown University is going to be a permanent one. The actress is reportedly transferring to another university to pursue a course of study not offered at the Ivy League.


The actress' rep says the reports about the Harry Potter actress being bullied out of the program are untrue and details about which university the actress will be attending next have not yet been released.

Back in March, Watson wrote on her website that she'd be taking a break from her studies to work on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

"She wrote: "As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student and fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible. I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter… I will still be working towards my degree… it's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought."

Miley Cyrus Releases Tour Poster, Thankful for Fans

Miley Cyrus is about to embark on her Gypsy Heart Tour -- and she's released her poster for the campaign -- which is dramatic, grown-up, and maturely sensual for the Disney star's norm. The show stops as of now are all in international cities, and she has not planned (or publicly announced) any U.S. city stops.

Miley's loving the fan attention she gets, no matter where it comes from, writing on Twitter over the weekend: "Oh my god! Just looked at the trending topics! I love you guys xo." Is she really shocked she's a Google trend? We thought that was an inevitable fact at this point.

Miley Cyrus was spotted out grabbing lunch with her momma and Noah , April 26, in Los Angeles.

♥ Exclusive Interview: Demi Lovato

Seventeen’s newest contributing editor, Demi Lovato, opens up about her eating disorders, her newfound confidence, and her advice to other girls going through the same thing.

 What’s your message to teenage girls?

If you are going through that dark period, go to your family and closest friends. Don’t put yourself in danger. It’s very crucial that you get your feelings out — but don’t ever inflict harm on your own body because your body is so sacred. I wish I could tell every young girl with an eating disorder, or who has harmed herself in any way, that she’s worthy of life and that her life has meaning. You can overcome and get through anything.

 Have there been times recently when you feel like it could be so tempting to go back to your old dangerous habits, like eating disorders?



Yes, there have been times when I definitely have been tempted to get rid of my dinner. But I will deal with it for the rest of my life because it’s a life-long disease. I don’t think there’s going to be a day when I don’t think about food or my body, but I’m living with it, and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.

 How do you keep yourself in a safe place?

I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me. And it’s okay to be selfish like that sometimes, when it comes to your well-being. Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.

How do you define your personality now that you’re out of treatment?

I don’t really define it by anything. I live my life every day, and if I feel like wearing combat boots one day and shoes the next, I will. I allow myself a lot of freedom and I’m very peaceful now. I have come to realize that just making yourself happy is most important. Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That’s my life motto.
