STELLA RECIBIRA ORDEN DEL IMPERIO BRITANICO


Stella recibirá este reconocimiento por sus méritos en nombre del Reino Unido al diseñar personalmente la equipación que los deportistas ingleses lucieron en las pasadas Olimpiadas. En total, 500 piezas que sirvieron para representar al equipo británico en las Olimpiadas y Paraolimpiadas de Londres 2012.

Stella puede sumar un reconocimiento más a su exitosa carrera en la industria textil: recibir una Orden del Imperio Británico, uno de los galardones más prestigiosos del Reino Unido.


Gracias a este reconocimiento tan prestigioso,Stella completa un año inmejorable en el plano profesional. Ella arrasó en la pasada edición de los British Fashion Awards al hacerse con dos de los galardones más importantes: Mejor diseñador del año y Designer Brand, que sirve para distinguir a aquella firma que durante el último año ha tenido mayor impacto internacional.


Y es que durante el 2012, consiguió abrir su primera tienda en el Soho de Nueva York, lanzar su fragancia Lily y Stella, su segunda línea de ropa interior.Además, la colección que presentó en febrero durante la Semana de la Moda de Londres no pudo recibir mejores críticas. Sin duda, este ha sido el año de Stella.

STELLA MCCARTNEY, 'GOD PARTICLE' SCIENTIST HONORED


STELLA McCartney, who designed the uniforms worn by Britain's record-smashing Olympic team, and Scottish physicist Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the so-called "God particle," are among the hundreds being honored by Queen Elizabeth II this New Year.

The list is particularly heavy with Britain's Olympic heroes, but it also includes Star Wars actor Ewan McGregor, eccentric English singer Kate Bush, Roald Dahl illustrator Quentin Blake, and Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the royal aide who helped organize the watched-around-the-world wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton.

McCartney was honored with the title of Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, in part for her work creating the skintight, red-white-and-blue uniforms worn by British athletes as they grabbed 65 medals during the 2012 games hosted by London.

ROBERT ZEMECKIS NO LONGER WANTS TO REMAKE "YELLOW SUBMARINE"

Director backs away from idea after Disney pulled plug
Robert Zemeckis' once-planned 3-D remake of the Beatles Yellow Submarine film has officially sunk. The Back to Future and Forrest Gump director confirmed the project's demise in a purchase-only interview with Total Film.


"That would have been a great one, to bring the Beatles back to life," Zemeckis said. "But it's probably better not to be remade — you're always behind the eight-ball when you do a remake."
Disney had already pulled the plug on the project, as the Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog reported in early 2011, citing unnamed sources. Though Zemeckis would still have been able to shop the project to other studios, his latest comments indicate he's focusing on other projects. That includes the upcoming Denzel Washington vehicle Flight, which marks Zemeckis' first live-action film since 2000's Cast Away.

AUDIO:LOUISE HARRISON´INTERVIEW /NEW DETAILS ABOUT GEORGE & THE BEATLES


The story of Beatle George Harrison takes on a new dimension with some insights from his sister.
It’s been 11 years since George Harrison died, and since that time, there is even newer history on his impact on the Beatles.

His sister Louise Harrsion understands his role and is quick to point out that he was the first Beatle to come to America to visit her at her Illinois home where they camped out and he played informally at a VFW hall.

Listen to extended interview ... HERE

The family of George Harrison was inspiring and motivational to the Beatles, and George’s sister Louise, who has her own musical education foundation, points out that George and The Harrisons were there to fill in some gaps.

MARK RONSON IS WORKING WITH PAUL



  
Mark Ronson is working with Paul
MARK Ronson's fame as a producer and a solo artist has easily outshone his mid-'90s beginnings as a downtown New York hip-hop DJ, so the days of slipping behind the decks and quietly, unobtrusively going about his business are long gone.
Ronson is kind of a big deal now. Nowadays when he plays, there are fans crowding around the decks, phone cameras flashing, tweets being sent out and punters trying to crash the booth. 2012 was the year Ronson rediscovered his love of DJing, but is it as much fun as it used to be?
''It is a little bit more difficult to play for people who are coming to see you play as the headline act in a show environment, as opposed to the club,'' admits the 37-year-old producer from his home in London, ''but I think if you play as if it was [still] that club and you were trying to kill it and you were the same no-name DJ you were when you started, then that's kind of the mentality to have. I try not to swerve my sets too much or make it just festival bangers, because I want to be the kind of DJ that I would want to come see play - not just some guy with headline status banging out hits without any kind of thought behind it.''
Across the northern summer, Ronson undertook a DJ residency with Brit radio DJ Zane Lowe at Ibiza Rocks, spun at festivals in Britain, and staged a back-to-back battle with turntablist extraordinaire A-Trak in October.
Before he helmed albums for Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Adele, Robbie Williams, and Melbourne's Daniel Merriweather, before his solo albums Versions and Record Collection, the London-born, New York-raised Ronson was a working jock in the Big Apple with a knack for attracting celebrity fans. Indeed, he spun at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in 2006 (though was reportedly so nervous that he vomited after he finished his set).
''In the beginning,'' he recalls, ''everyone from Biggie [Smalls] to Puffy [Combs], D'Angelo, Mos Def - all these people - would come down and check out my sets, because I played a good mix of hip-hop and a lot of rare groove and funk classics that not a lot of other people were playing. Puffy really liked the way I played, so he took me along when he had gigs going in Paris or London.''
Since wrapping up touring for Record Collection in mid-2011, Ronson has moved back to London, married French actress/singer Josephine de La Baume, produced Black Lips, Lil Wayne, Rufus Wainwright and Bruno Mars (proving, with smash hit, Locked Out of Heaven, that he still has the magic touch), produced a song for Coca-Cola's 2012 Olympics ad campaign, and is currently working with no less than Paul McCartney.
''You don't really ask what it's for,'' deadpans Ronson of his collaboration with McCartney. ''You just keep quiet, do good work and hope he's happy with it. It's just: shut up, sit there and learn.''

YOKO ONO,MATT DAMON AND OPEC VS. AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE


There she was, on the December 26th letters to the editor corner of theNew York Times, militating against the extraction of America's vast resources of shale gas and oil through fracking technology. Yoko Ono's condemnation is absolute and without equivocation nor codified substantiation: "But the evidence shows that there is no amount of regulation that can make fracking safe." All this after a full page ad in the New York Times some weeks ago and a monster billboard hovering over New York City's byways with its thousands upon thousands of car passers-by screaming, "Imagine There's No Fracking," a variation of her oft intoned "Imagine There's No War."READ MORE... HERE.

FILM "MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR" CUMPLE 45 AÑOS DE LANZADO EN UK


MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR fue un especial de una hora de duración emitido a través de la cadena BBC TV el 26 de diciembre de 1967. Después de su estreno, la película no fue muy bien recibida por el público y la crítica. Algunas personas atribuyen el mal recibimiento del film, en un comienzo debido a que este fue transmitido en Blanco y Negro, ya que luego, después de su transmisión en Color, la critica fue cambiando, hasta el punto de incluso calificarla de forma positiva Hoy no solo es reconocida, sino que también fue un material remasterizado en 5.1 surround sound  y audio en stereo este año con escenas no incluídas en el film original de 52 minutos. Fueron casi diez horas de rodaje grabados durante un período de dos semanas.
