Ten Woody Allen Sex Scenes Better Than the Ones in �Vicky Cristina Barcelona�
Courtesy of MGM
Much has been made (lots of it by us) over the love scenes in Woody Allen's new Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Problem is, the film's non-threesomes aren't just dull by our standards � they're even kinda boring by Woody Allen's typical ones. After all, this is the director who gave us the Orgasmatron and the sex orb! And went down on Bette Midler in a theater! Plus, he once made Gene Wilder bone a sheep. After the jump, video of Ten Woody Allen Sex Scenes Better Than the Ones in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
10. Bananas (1971)
For fourteen years, Howard Cosell's abrasive, tell-it-like-it-is narration style made ABC's Monday Night Football compelling wake, much like it does this setting in which Woody's Fielding Melish and wife Nancy make love life for the first fourth dimension. Afterwards, Nancy tells Cosell, "It was the worst that I've had."
9. Deconstructing Harry (1997)
In his bleakest-ever movie, Woody stars as Harry Block, an generator whose thin disguised, possibly exaggerated best sellers leave him divorced and outcast. Here, Richard Benjamin and Julia Louis-Dreyfus star as fictionalized versions of Block and his sister-in-law Lucy (played in the picture show by Judy Davis), with whom he's engaged in an adulterous quickie. Later, the real Lucy disputes the accuracy of his recollection (in particular, she takes issue with the part about the blind, elderly relation).
8. Hollywood Ending (2002)
Watching the Woodman beingness seduced by poor Tiffani-Amber Thiessen is a reminder of how much Allen benefits from the fact that none of his actors ever see scripts before they sign on.
7. Love and Death (1975)
It's true that some of Woody's later sex scenes have been so cringe-inducing that they're mini-masterpieces in their possess right � but we'll forgive about anything from the guy who was once divine to trip on some oven mitts before bedclothes Diane Keaton.
6. Match Point (2005)
They're not all funny, though. Allen's solitary hot sex scene, star Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson, is surprisingly sexy, despite being staged in an obviously uncomfortable rainstorm-hayfield combination.
5. Sleeper (1973)
In a dystopian future of Orgasmatrons and sex orbs, Allen poses as a robotic servant powerless to control his own libido.
4. Scenes From a Mall (1991)
Woody plays the Alanis Morissette to Bette Midler's Dave Coulier in this movie-theater sex scene. Midler makes the kinds of noises you were probably hoping you'd never hear Bette Midler make, and gets shushed by nearby religious fundamentalists.
3. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972)
Gene Wilder risks his marriage and career in medicine to pursue his passionate love for a sheep. His wife becomes suspicious when she discovers him necking a lamb's wool sweater.
2. Annie Hall (1977)
Diane Keaton literally leaves her consistency to green goddess a kweek as she and Woody discuss her emotional absence. (It was surely Annie Hall's subtle symbolism that helped it defeat Star Wars for the 'Best Picture' Oscar in 1977.)
1. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972)
Performance anxiousness is translated into a vision of sex as an act performed non just by you just by an entire untiring crew of pump-house guys, control-room technicians, and, of course, white-suited, neurotic sperm cell.

Sex and The City quartet back with movie
LONDON (Reuters) - Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are back -- The "Sex and the City" TV stars took to the big screen on Monday with the world premiere in London of their tales of love and high fashion in New York.
The film takes up four years on from where the hit series left the sassy singletons, who were so blatantly honest in their desire to have "sex like men" but also lusted as much for a new pair of Manolo Blahnik heels as they did for the perfect beau.
The stars were greeted by hordes of screaming fans in London's Leicester Square where Sarah Jessica Parker said "This is a movie for all genders, gays, straights and everybody in-between."
"Men are not vilified. It's a movie for everyone," she told Sky News.
Parker, who plays Carrie and is also a producer of the film, said she had been working on the project for 2-1/2 years. But getting everyone together again was not easy.
There were reports that when talks about a film began, Kim Cattrall, who plays Samantha, had demanded more money and creative control.
"It was a really hard time," said Cattrall, who at the time was in the midst of a divorce. Her father had also just been diagnosed with dementia.
"I needed to spend time with my real family and I'm really glad that I did because in the four years, you know, coming back, I think the film is where it should be," Cattrall told Reuters in New York before the film's London launch.

Big Brother's Darnell Breaks Down In Tears
Big Brother’s Darnell cried as he relived the torment he suffered in prison.
The US songwriter – who suffers from albinism, a hereditary congenital disorder, which leaves sufferers completely white due to a lack of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair – said inmates wanted to beat him up because he had a pretty girlfriend.
He said: "They felt like I didn’t deserve her. ‘Why does a guy who looks like that have a girl that looks like that?’ Everybody I’m with has to deal with the fact that I’m albino."
Darnell served time for gang culture related crimes but has since returned to the UK – where he was born - and now spends much of his time mentoring community youth groups in North London.
He told fellow housemate Mikey – who is completely blind – that others in the house may feel they have to like him because of his condition.
He said: “At the moment people assume that you're a good person but they don't know. You might be a piece of trash."
He added: "I stayed away from you at first because I'm so miserable and bitter about it. I don't want to poison you with the fact that I feel this way."
Excitable Thai cookie-muncher Kathreya tried to cheer him up.
She said: "Come to Thailand - everybody wants to be white. We believe that if you have white skin you come from a good family because you don't have to work in a field or do labouring."

Leona conquers YouTube chart
JUST when you think the LEONA LEWIS success express is slowing, she goes and
gets herself another gold star beside her name.
After conquering the US, the X Factor winner is now making her mark on video
site YouTube with millions of hits.
The promo for her hit single Bleeding Love has entered the site’s top ten most
viewed videos of all time.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, she is also the only British artist to
make it anywhere near the top ten.
At the last count, more than 55million people had watched the video for
Leona’s No1 single.
She is currently in sixth place but is snapping at the heels of TIMBALAND
featuring ONE REPUBLIC’s Apologise video, which has been eyeballed by
56million.
Also ahead of our Leona is Canadian warbler AVRIL LAVIGNE with
Girlfriend, which has been viewed more than 85million times, and RIHANNA’s
Don’t Stop The Music, which is the fourth most-watched YouTube clip of all
time.
The video that has been viewed the most is Evolution Of Dance, which has
clocked up more than 86million hits.
Leona is currently averaging around 150,000 views a day.
But hardcore fans are furious that she appears to have suddenly disappeared
from YouTube’s official list.
I’m not one for conspiracy theories but I’ve reported the fault to YouTube
bosses and I reckon that she’ll be back to her rightful place in no time.

Hey, Fall Out Boy And Green Day: Where's My Platinum Plaque? In Bigger Than The Sound
On The Record: I Am A Gigantic Baby. A Gigantic Baby Without A Platinum-Record Plaque.
It's official. Bigger Than the Sound is one year old. So in honor of that milestone, I figured I'd spend the next thousand (or so) words acting exactly like every 1-year-old I've ever met: petulant, snotty, blubbering and seething with entitlement (I know some pretty lousy 1-year-olds, believe me). I sort of feel I've earned it. If not, well, then I apologize in advance for taking time away from "Miley Cyrus Watch."
See, I've been writing this column for one year now, and in that time, I've been alternately petty, holier-than-thou, mean-spirited and downright stupid, but I've never been all of those things at once, primarily because I've never thought a situation demanded it. Until now.
Because I've been wronged — horribly, irrevocably wronged — and I don't think I'm ever going to recover from it. On Monday, my wife, who's a producer for MTV Radio, received her first platinum-record plaque (she asked me not to say who it's from, because she didn't "want the band reading about it in [my] big-baby column"), a big, shiny thing with her name engraved on it and everything. Needless to say, I was endlessly proud of her. Also needless to say, as soon as I laid eyes on it, my inner-toddler curled up in a ball, held his breath, stomped his feet and smashed his ice cream cone all over the walls of the Sears Portrait Studio.
Her platinum plaque brought the grand total of "extraneous and slightly garish music-industry awards" currently cluttering the Montgomery household to exactly one. And that made me jealous. And upset. Actually, it made me both at the same time.
After all, I've worked for MTV News for nearly four years now, and in that time, I've penned something like 50 (!) Fall Out Boy stories, 30 Panic at the Disco pieces and around 25 My Chemical Romance briefs. Not to mention countless bits about Green Day, Coldplay, U2, Nickelback and just about every rock band of note. I've done video pieces and album previews and "You Hear It First" blurbs, and I'd like to think that somewhere, at least one of those stories inspired a kid somewhere to head out to Wal-Mart and purchase one of the countless millions of albums those bands have sold. And yet, for all the good work I've done here at MTV, no band or label has ever seen it fit to send so much as a gold record plaque, let alone a platinum one.
And this makes me angry. And ashamed. Because, really, I don't feel like my career can be validated until I have an office full of gleaming, gaudy plaques. I don't even care if they're from, like, Adema or the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I just want the bling. The status. The blinding walls. Seriously, can't someone send me a f---ing plaque? Anyone?
I realize the industry doesn't exactly work this way. These are not the halcyon days of the 1980s, when record execs tossed plaques at dudes in the mailroom. Long gone are the times when every two-bit publicist, radio DJ and concert promoter was awash in a sea of plaque-itude, or when Mötley Crüe and Ozzy would do blow off an award pressed solely to signify worldwide sales of 10 million units of Girls, Girls, Girls. Record labels are hemorrhaging money, and platinum plaques have come to be seen as the fairly ridiculous, rather unnecessary (and expensive) trinkets they are, and as such, they've nearly vanished. For the most part, the party's over, and they've become about as rare as albino leprechauns or thought-provoking moments on "The Hills": they probably exist, you've just never seen one. (I e-mailed Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz — no stranger to major-label excess — about them, and his response? "They are about to be vintage. ... You see one now, and it's like, 'Whoa, you got one of those?' ")
And yeah, I also realize that, by and large, platinum plaques are nothing more than carrots extended on sticks, gilded tokens given to gullible journos and presidents of TV networks to make them think they're "doing a great job" and "part of the team." They are not career validators. And pretty much everyone who's received more than one realizes this. They come to view the plaques as nothing more than clutter, eyesores taking up space in their Brooklyn brownstones. They laugh at the older ones — Stryper, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit — and yet they all remember their first one. Receiving a plaque is sort of a rite of passage, like being invited to vote in the The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop poll, or being seduced by Liz Phair in an interview.
And here I am, still waiting for my first one.
Of course, I am aware that this column makes me sound like a genuinely awful person. And a desperate one. But there is a hole in the recesses of my soul that only a platinum plaque can fill (perhaps even a gold one would suffice). It is a pang I feel whenever I enter my co-workers' offices, and see their walls lined with plaques from Slipknot or 3 Doors Down. It is a pang I feel whenever I go to a recording studio and see the carpeted walls lined with ephemera from Snow or PM Dawn. And it is a pang I certainly felt when I traveled out to the wilds of New Jersey to watch Nickelback receive plaques commemorating sales of 25 million worldwide.
I want to be a part of that unnecessary excess, that stupidity, that decrepit business model. ... I want the industry to recognize me. And what better way to do that than with a platinum plaque?
And if the mailroom here at MTV is suddenly overcome with large boxes from, say, the Warner Music Group or EMI or UMG or Sony BMG, well, then that is a good thing. If any rock band feels the need to reward my talents, hey, bring it on. I am beyond shame at this point. I refuse to feel guilty about this. I have platinum fever. I think I've earned it.
[Editor's note: Montgomery might not have to wait much longer. Wentz just promised the petulant writer, via e-mail, to send an Infinity on High platinum plaque ASAP. Score!]

Slightly Less Than A Half-Dozen Of My Favorite Things On The Internet This Week, So Named For A Post-Rock Group That No One Probably Remembers.
1. Spencer And Heidi's Patriotic Make-Out Session: In 20 years, when you have kids, they will inevitably come across some news holograms of Osama Bin Laden, and they will turn to you, eyes watering, hands trembling, and ask "Mommy/Daddy, why did that man hate us so much?!?!" Just show them these photos. That should do the trick.
2. Travis McCoy's "I Just Ate 2 Chick Patties Now It's Time To Clean The Condo Spotless" Mix On MuxTape: Begins with Phoenix's excellent "Everything Is Everything" and ends with Lil Wayne's "Certified." In between, there's Snoop, J Dilla, Isaac Hayes and, uh, He Is Legend. Travie's probably got the cleanest condo in town.
3. The Many "Wow, I Just Got Rocked" Faces Of Barry Zito: Responds one Yahoo! commenter: "Everyone laughed when I drafted Zito at the tail end of my draft, while Micah Owings and Brian Bannister went undrafted. I would have the last laugh, when Zito returned to fantasy prominence, despite absolutely no indication that he would. It would be the diamond in the rough for my pitching staff. Then he started 0-3 and I cut him. Bummer. He doesn't even get any starts against the Giants, which usually makes ANY schmo SP useful for streaming." Totally, dude.
4. The Top 25 Opening Credits Of '80s Action Shows: A solid list, an infallible scoring system and proof that things really were better back then.
5. David Berman's LastFm Playlist: The Silver Jews mastermind listens to a ton of old, sort-of bizarre country and western tunes and Siouxsie & the Banshees. Now you can too! Leroy Van Dyke's "The Auctioneer" rules almost as much as the Jews' Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea album.

Downloading case in the High Court
Four record companies have brought a High Court action to compel Eircom - the State's largest broadband service provider - to prevent its networks being used for the illegal downloading of music.
It's the first case to be aimed at the service provider rather than at individual illegal downloaders.
The four record companies taking the action are EMI, Sony BMG, Universal Music and Warner Music.
Willie Kavanagh, Managing Director of EMI Ireland and Chairman of the Irish Recorded Music Association, said because of illegal downloading and other factors, the Irish music industry was experiencing a "dramatic and accelerating decline" in income.
He said sales in the Irish market dropped 30% in the six years up to 2007.
EMI and the other companies are challenging Eircom's refusal to use filtering technology or other measures to voluntarily block or filter illegally downloaded material.
Last October Eircom told the companies it was not in a position to use the filtering software.
Eircom also told the companies that it was not on notice of specific illegal activity which infringed the companies' rights and it had no legal obligation to monitor traffic on its network.

Former Blue star Lee Ryan arrested
Former Blue singer Lee Ryan has been arrested after allegedly attacking a taxi driver on New Year's Eve.
24-year-old Ryan was travelling to a party in Surrey when he was reportedly involved in a minor car crash.
An altercation with the driver of the other vehicle followed the collision, according to The Sun.
A source told the newspaper: "Lee was going to a party and there was a bit of a crash, nothing big, but he lost his temper.
"A taxi driver got the brunt of it and then the law (police) turned up and nicked (arrested) Lee. He was stuck in a patrol car... it did not improve his mood and ruined his New Year's Eve."
A spokesman for Surrey police said: "A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault then bailed pending inquiries."

Dash Custody Row Hots Up
Music mogul DAMON DASH has been accused of taking his teenage son to visit a relative's dead body in a morgue.
Linda Williams - the mother of Dash's 16-year-old son Damon Dash II - has added the claim to her ongoing custody battle with the star.
She insists the star took their son to a mortuary to identify his uncle, who had committed suicide by a gunshot to the head.
In documents filed at the Family Court of the State of New York, Williams further claims her son - who is currently residing with Dash - is "living with not hot water (sic) or electricity for two months in his bedroom".
Williams demands Dash pay $3,600 (GBP1,800) for their son to go to the city's Hoftstra Basketball Camp and place $10 million (GBP5 million) in a trust fund.
Williams has been fighting Dash for custody since 2003.
Dash - who is expecting his second child with wife Rachel Roy - was unavailable for comment.

Usher in in a new era
USHER'S millions of music sales have brought him all the bling, adulation and female attention any man could want. But he's swapped it all for responsibility and family.
Usher has two things on his mind -- Beyonce and a baby. No, not like that. Usher Raymond IV is holed up in a swank Beverly Hills hotel to service the world's media as he promotes his fifth album, Here I Stand. However, you can set your watch by the fact Usher runs on superstar time and he's now three hours late. At least today he has some good excuses. First, this interview was pushed back to incorporate a ‘‘hug break'' as he squeezed in squeezing his newborn son, Usher Raymond V, who's upstairs with his mother, Usher's wife of 10 months, Tameka Foster. No one's seen photos of the baby yet; Usher candidly admits he's "looking to identify the publication'' who will handle the story and photos best. And, no doubt, most lucratively. Then Usher-time collided with Beyonce-time as the even-more-freshly-married superstar arrived to sign off on a duet for a belated remix of Usher's US No.1 Love in this Club. It's hard to tell which distraction has put the spring in his step, but Usher bounds in, full of joy and apologies, in that order. ‘‘It's a treat for me. I've been wanting for years to do a record with Beyonce,'' Usher says. ‘‘Even though it's a remix, it's a really special record for me.'' Things have changed dramatically for Usher since 2004's Confessions, his highest-selling album in a career that has clocked up a whopping 30 million sales. One obvious thing is missing in 2008 -- Usher comes minus any of the bling that 30 million sales can afford. Though he still looks as though he could bench press everyone in the room, he admits the rare fabric allergy that saw him spend much of his last tour shirtless may have been cured. ‘‘This album doesn't call for me to have my shirt off,'' Usher says. ‘‘I came with the glitz and glamour last time. Now you won't see a lot of diamonds. I haven't even put earrings in for three years. It's time out for that. It's time to man up.'' Usher calls it ‘‘GMT'' -- Grown Man Trend. He's 29 and has become both a father and a husband in the past year, and his estranged father, Usher Raymond III, passed away in January. ‘‘I'm not a perfect father but I can do my best at making sure I lead my son in the right direction,'' Usher says. ‘‘I recognise I'm responsible for his life, I'm responsible for what he becomes, for who he is.'' The huge diamond-studded letter ‘‘U'' that hung around his neck (and cost more than most houses) has been put in storage until he tours; he jokes it gets in the way when he changes nappies. ‘‘I now think if you look inside yourself you'll recognise you are diamond, you ain't got to have them on you. I don't need all that now.'' His new diamonds-on-the-inside life didn't come without pressure. Usher met Foster around 2003 when she worked with him as a stylist -- at the time he was dating Chilli from TLC. Foster was married with three children. The pair became friends, with Foster even offering older-woman advice on his tumultuous relationship with Chilli, and he would listen to her marriage problems. Once both were single, they started a relationship in November 2005. Gossip writers at the time pointed out that Foster was still married; she points out that she and her husband had started divorce proceedings and were both seeing other people. Then there was the age difference -- Foster is 37 -- and rumours swirled that she clashed with Usher's mother, also his manager. A flashy Hamptons wedding planned for last July was cancelled (rumours said it was because of the infighting between the two women in Usher's life) until the pair wed in a smaller private ceremony in Atlanta last August. Columnists and bloggers took Usher's hiring of new management (Benny Medina, who also steers Mariah Carey) around the time of the aborted wedding as proof of the fiery relationship between his wife and his mother. Usher isn't having any of it. ‘‘You can look at a magazine story as something negative or you can take the positive from it,'' he says. ‘‘I choose to take the positive out of life, push away any negative force. The thing that's positive in someone talking bad about you is it motivates you to keep going.'' That may be so but when pushed, he admits the stories hit him where it hurt -- his family. At the time his mum moved from manager back to mother, Usher said: ‘‘It means I now get to have my mother strictly as my mother with no added pressure.'' Today he's even happier with the decision. ‘‘There was drama, in terms of me bringing in new management, but that's a product of me becoming more responsible about my home, my life, taking control. I'm making decisions I feel very comfortable with and in no way should that be taken as a bad thing.'' He fires up at accusations at Foster, which started with ‘‘gold-digger'' and most recently saw rumours (denied by Medina) that she started a feud on the set of the Love in the Club video -- where she acted as stylist -- over Usher's not-very-ugly female co-star Keri Hilson. ‘‘Unfortunately my wife has been portrayed as someone who broke a family up -- I could never break away from my mother, she'll always be my mother,'' Usher says. ‘‘And my wife has been portrayed as someone who has some ulterior motive. No, it's just love, and always has been. ‘‘That's the thing that was so disturbing, you have something that's beautiful, a man being a man for his home, his wife, his child, is that really a bad thing? Should I be running back to the solo life where I was unhappy? ‘‘Maybe happy for the moment. But those one-night stands, those few-nighters, those random relationships that turned out to be a waste of time -- they weren't worth it and they're not worth leaving my family for.'' Usher admits he's come a long way from the artist whose hit Confessions centred around a man telling his partner he was about to become a father to another woman's child. ‘‘Music, as well as the world, portrays sex as the thing,'' Usher says. ‘‘Sex sells. I understand it, I'm a product of it. But at the same time there has to be something else, something that balances the scale out, something of substance. And that's the path I'm on. ‘‘I'm 29 years old. I can officially say I'm a man and not only because I have a wife and child, but just the range of things I've experienced. I view things as a man. When I viewed things as a child I did childish things. Now as a man I put those childish things away.'' He's not only a father, he's an instant stepfather to Foster's other children. ‘‘My oldest son graduates this year,'' Usher says, ‘‘the youngest isn't in pre-care yet.'' His nickname at home is ‘‘Two Dads''. ‘‘I'm proud of it,'' he says. ‘‘I understand it. I had two stepfathers. I can understand having love for a man other than my own father, especially because my father was not there. I considered it a bonus. Now these three individuals are very open and caring and greeted me with open arms for loving their mother.'' Usher says the lack of a father figure meant he was ‘‘forced to be a lot more mature'' than many his age. He neatly deflects to this fact when nosy fans question the age difference with his wife. ‘‘I've always been responsible, I couldn't be negligent and furthermore my mother wouldn't stand for that. "But I was happy, I believed in my goal and I knew if I wanted to make it I can't do that by throwing my life away to drugs or any miscellaneous activity that does not help me grow.'' The Beyonce collaboration was one of several last-minute additions to Here I Stand as Usher rushed to release the record before it was leaked on the internet. Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, fired off an 11th-hour rap to add to Best Thing. There were also collaborations with Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake that were workshopped but didn't happen in time. Usher says he and JT share a special bond. ‘‘Artists that make rhythmic music that you dance to and they sing and they're musicians -- there's none. They're almost extinct. Who else does that? Prince. The person who can give you performance, musician and dancer.'' He's hoping their collaboration will happen either for JT's next album, or a reworked version of Here I Stand planned for next year. ‘‘Look out for the repackage,'' Usher says. It's a strange comment, considering the original album has yet to hit stores, but the Confessions repackage (featuring the hit Alicia Keys duet My Boo) gave sales a second wind of several million copies. ‘‘Oh yeah, but buy this one first.'' Several songs from Here I Stand have already leaked on the internet, including The Realest, an ode to Foster. Usher hopes the love song will also make the repackage. ‘‘The difference between my wife and all these other chicks I had a good time with, but wasted all my time with, is that she's real. If I wanted a mannequin or a model I would have gone there. I wanted someone full of life. ‘‘She obviously knows about caring given the fact she has children, and she has created her own life. She was a dreamer, she made it. I love who she is, obviously, because I married her.'' And though he admits to initial -- and unsurprising -- tension between Foster and his mother, he insists they're now pals. ‘‘My mother just held a baby shower for my son, everything is fine. It's odd. In the beginning I think my mother did give a bit of resistance. Which is natural. Mothers will always feel no woman is perfect for their son. ‘‘She's definitely proven to be a great woman in my mother's eyes, to the point where they're now friends. It's the oddest s--- ever, they're having dinner together and laughing! And my mother's enjoying being a grandma, but she thinks she's a mom again.'' It's love and his new responsibility-filled life that Usher has channelled into the emotion-charged moments on Here I Stand. He compares the album's musical diversity to his hero Stevie Wonder, and compares the lyrical honesty to ‘‘real men'' of the '70s such as Barry White and Al Green. ‘‘I wanted a record that would be a great soundtrack for life,'' Usher says. ‘‘It represents the tumultuous situations you go through, as well as the fun times, the intimate times. I want people to listen to this album like it's a book, to walk through the journey. ‘‘You start by looking at this guy who was a player, a hustler, finding his way and finding love. That guy is me now, very solid, and I have a foundation, which is my family. ‘‘I was the guy who was at the club, I had the one-night stands, sometimes two in the bed, the whole nine yards. Then I've gathered substance over the past four years. It's like a book . . . and there's a happy ending.'' Here I Stand (Sony BMG) out Saturday.

Spice Girl Emma Bunton wasn't the beginning to venture off from her dance-pop isthmus the Spice Girls for a solo career. Melanie C. was virtually exulting with her 1999 debut A Northern Star spell Melanie B. and ex-Spice Geri Halliwell earned balmy reviews. But like her blighter musical mates, Baby Spice aimed for solo success during the new millennium. However, it wouldn't have been near as possible if it weren't for her millions and massive kudos made while fronting nonpareil of Britain's biggest pop acts of the Apostles to emerge during the nineties.
Emma Lee Bunton was born on January 21, 1976, in Barnet in north London. Her founding father, Trevor, and mother, Pauline, split when Emma was 11, merely the event wasn't traumatic like it is for virtually children of dissociate. She was already busy with extracurricular activities such as modelling and doing commercials. Bunton's clock time exhausted at St. Theresa's Roman Catholic primary school was distinctive, nonetheless Bunton's passion for her hobbies turned all-out as she worn-out her formal dramatic art days at Sylvia Young Theatre School. Already a rude in front of the camera, she left secondary at 16 and began poring over drama at Barnet Technical College. It would be several days by and by that she met the group that would do her a asterisk. Bunton was still a young, bubbly teenager when she was christened Baby Spice in 1993. The repose of the decade was a whirlwind with taking the world over with the Spice Girls' infectious pop energy. Five days spanned a career in entertainment, and at the sunup of the new millennium, Emma Bunton had other ideas. She was immediately a woman in her twenties and a bright mind of creative ideas. Her someone sisters were already moving on with solo projects and Baby Spice wouldn't be left behind.
She guested on Tin Tin Out's "What I Am in 1999, merely two long time later, a fresh-faced Bunton returned with her debut album A Girl Like Me. Its beginning individual "What Took You So Long?" slam to numeral i during its low gear week of discharge in mid-April, sustaining a two week reign. Bunton became the only Spice Girl to have a solo individual abide at number one for more than nonpareil week. Her graph success continued into 2003 with "Dislodge Me" and "Perhaps," two singles from her endorsement effort, Free Me. The sophisticated pop reasoned caught on with fans and earned Bunton her third strike, "I'll Be There", in 2004. Free Me was released in the States in other 2005.
