The Beatles - Help!

Haha, yeah! I used to hate that song. It's... just... ridiculous, LOL!

I've never been an 'Aqua' fan. I don't even know if I like them or not. And I never thought I'd say this, but man... this song is DOPE!!! Lyrics: Back in the Ronald Reagan days When we put sattelites in space When boys wore skinny leather ties Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice When M&M was just a snack And Michael Jacksons skin was black Back when the coolest thing in store Was a Commodore 64 Back to the 80's Back to Soap Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke Those were the days And we go Back to the 80's And hey there Mr.T To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah Those were the days I come back To Iron Maiden and 7UP Bananarama and Breakfast Club Come Back, Yeah Come Back, Yeah I Come Back When Huey Lewis was the news When we went flying with Tom Cruise When shoulderpads and looking tough Lost a dare to David Hasselhof To many men with heavy makeup on To many poodles with guitars Thanks for all the joy you've given us You will always be our superstars Back to the 80's Back to Soap Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke Those were the days And we go Back to the 80's And hey there Mr.T To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah Those were the days I come back To Iron Maiden and 7UP Bananarama and Breakfast Club Come Back, Yeah Come Back, Yeah I Come Back Hooray for Cosby and Rubicks Cube Hooray for Dynasty and Moon Boots Hooray for Devo and Barber Curls Hooray for Poltergeist and Barbie Girls Back to the 80's Back to Soap Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke Those were the days Lets go back Back to the 80's To Mr.T To Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah Those were the days I come back To Iron Maiden and 7UP Bananarama and Breakfast Club Come Back, Yeah Come Back, Yeah Lets go back ----------- Just love the lyrics. It's so catchy!! I'd like to know AJ's opinion since I believe he likes (or liked) 'Aqua'. Correct me if I'm wrong ;)

'I Gotta Go Home' is probably my favorite song from the 'Born To Reign' album after 'I Can't Stop'.

And more articles... Jada Pinkett Smith returns to the tube on TNT She's the wife of Will Smith, the world's most popular movie star and a man whose net worth is about $220 million, but that's no automatic ticket to ride for Jada Pinkett Smith. "It's funny," the actress said. "You'd think that it would help my career in ways that it doesn't. It's hindered it because, in the position I'm in, I don't need anything. I don't need the work, so I'm not at anybody's mercy. That's definitely a position of power that not everyone wants to deal with. "And there's the pressure. If I'm there, that means Will will be there. Not everybody wants to deal with that all the time either." Pinkett Smith is speaking by telephone from a makeup chair on the Los Angeles set of "Hawthorne," the new TNT series in which she stars as the title character, the chief nursing officer of a hospital in Richmond, Va. It has been almost 20 years since Pinkett Smith, now 37, came to Hollywood as an 18-year-old and was quickly cast as a college freshman on the television sitcom "A Different World" (1991-1993). But it was her turn opposite several versions of Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Professor" (1996) that put the young actress on Tinseltown radar screens. Of West Indian, Creole and Portuguese-Jewish descent, the Baltimore native speaks with a slight drawl and sounds easygoing. But beneath the surface charm, the 5-foot-tall actress is, by her own account, nobody to mess with. "If I had been given a bigger body," she said, "I might have had more problems and issues. But, because I'm small, I think people can take doses of me a bit easier. I have huge energy. I'm relentless, I don't take no for an answer. When I really, really want to get something done, very rarely does it not happen." If you've seen Pinkett Smith in the movies or on television and she didn't seem that short, it's because most of the time she's perched on 4-inch platform heels. For "Hawthorne," in the interest of realism, Pinkett Smith tones that down to 31/2 inches. "I don't wear 4-inch heels on the show because I'm walking through a hospital all day," she said. "They can't be too high!" She has acted in some 25 films, including "The Matrix Reloaded" (2003), "The Matrix Revolutions" (2003), "Collateral" (2004) and "The Women" (2008). One of her most ironic gigs, given her diminutive size, was as the voice for Gloria the hippopotamus in "Madagascar" (2005) and "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" (2008). Lately, however, Pinkett Smith has been as active behind the scenes as she has onscreen. She wrote, directed and appeared in "The Human Contract," about a troubled business executive (Jason Clarke). She also served as executive producer for "The Secret Life of Bees" (2008), a drama with Dakota Fanning and Queen Latifah. She and Smith are co-producing another feature, which will star their 10-year-old son, Jaden, who made his film debut with a featured role as the son of Smith's character in "The Pursuit of Happyness" (2006). Jaden's budding acting career and Pinkett Smith's commitment to "Hawthorne" have delayed her plans to take her heavy-metal band, Wicked Wisdom, back on the road. "But I have a dear passion for that music," she said. "We're going to put up some videos on our Myspace page." Her primary professional focus, however, is "Hawthorne." As the willful Christina Hawthorne R.N., Pinkett Smith takes her first lead role in a television series and also dons the mantle of executive producer. Hawthorne heads a group of nurses at a chaotic urban hospital, putting out one fire after another while mourning her husband's recent death and butting heads with her rebellious daughter and her controlling mother-in-law. "Christina thinks she can be all things to all people," Pinkett Smith said, "but that's an idea that's going to bite her." The character is modeled upon her own mother, a registered nurse who read the pilot script when Pinkett Smith was debating taking on the series. "She said, 'You better do this,' " the actress recalled. "My mom is an uber-problem-solver. There's nothing she can't fix, to a certain degree." Still working as a nurse, Adrienne Banfield serves as a "private consultant" to her daughter on "Hawthorne," as well as helping out with her grandkids, 8-year-old Willow, Jaden and 16-year-old Trey, Smith's son by a previous marriage. The Smiths usually try to alternate projects, so that one parent can be at home with the children. "Like right now," Pinkett Smith said. "Will is not working, while I am." The three children attend the New Village Leadership Academy, which the Smiths co-founded in the Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas, Calif. Some have characterized the academy as a religious school whose teaching methods are based on principles of Scientology, but Pinkett Smith denies that. "It's not true," she said. "I have absolutely nothing against Scientology, but it's not a Scientology school. It's a purely secular school. We use Study Tech, which is a philosophy of teaching, but it's not Scientology." According to a Church of Scientology Web site, Study Technology, aka Study Tech, is an approach to teaching developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and "first described in a series of 1964 lectures at the Scientology training academy" in England. Study Tech, it says, is "used throughout Scientology in all churches and it is widely used outside the church in schools and businesses." Not that Pinkett Smith sees herself as an educator. Since she was 3, the actress says, she has known that she wanted to be a performer. "I played the Wicked Witch in 'The Wizard of Oz,' and that was pretty much it," she said. "I just knew then that was what I wanted to do. My mother knew that was what I was born to do, so she always pushed me to make it happen." She first met Smith when, at 19, she auditioned to play his girlfriend on the hit sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990-1996). She didn't get the part, since the producers deemed her too short to be paired with the 6-foot-2-inch Smith, but she got the guy eventually. "Actually, we didn't start dating until years later," Pinkett Smith said. "We were friends for many, many years." In 1997 they married, and for 12 years their marriage has been a model of stability amid the Hollywood tornado. What's their secret? "Spirituality and friendship," she said. "You have to be best friends. You've got to want to be with this person all day long, every day if necessary. You need to enjoy each other outside of sex and have great conversations and aim for the goals you've agreed on." It's hard to say how Pinkett Smith's career might have gone if she hadn't married a superstar the year after "The Nutty Professor," her breakthrough film. The only thing she's sure of is that it would have been much different. "I work because I love what I do," she said, "but the politics of the game get in the way. Some people think that I'm not interested in working: 'Why would she want to work? She doesn't have to.' But I've learned to work all the downsides to my advantage. "The upside is that I know, when people come knocking on my door, that it's a very serious thing and that they really, really want me," Pinkett Smith said. "That's good. It weeds out a lot of crap." http://www.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=142873 -------------------------------------- Pinkett-Smith: 'I'm Too Short to Play Mrs. Obama' "Hawthorne" star Jada Pinkett-Smith tells "Extra" she'd love to play Michelle Obama on the big screen, but says she'd have to grow a few inches! Jada confesses, "Michelle is tall. I'm way too short. If I felt like I could represent her in a way that I feel like she should be represented, I absolutely would." Pinkett-Smith says whoever plays her "has to be her height. I'm like 4'11". It's not me." This summer the Pinkett-Smith family is going to Beijing for over two months! Jada tells "Extra," "Will and I are producing our son's movie, 'Kung Fu Kid.'" The family flick is a remake of the classic "Karate Kid" and stars Jayden Smith, Jackie Chan and Taraji P. Henson. http://extratv.warnerbros.com/2009/06/pinkett-smith_im_too_short_to.php

Sorry Brakes, I can't find another link for this video. :unsure:

Haha! Thanks for all this Ash. It was a great read! ;) I liked this part: and also this one: One thing though: in this picture, the description says: Oscar winner Will Smith and Jawn Murray celebrate the premiere of Jada Pinkett Smith's TV series 'HawthoRNe' at the SLS hotel in Los Angeles. Didn't know Will has won an Oscar, LOL! Plus, we had to post this: What about her husband? Will he make a cameo as well? "Will has come on the show. He's an extra on one of the episodes. See if you can catch him. He does a drive by. We could hardly afford that. It was a very costly walk by," she closed.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Live 1988 Does anyone know which concert is this? I wish we had the video! Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgdC4KY8Rvw Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDhKbNYL_nw

So true. And despite that, it's still my favorite WS Solo Album. I'd add 'Candy'. Love that song :cool:

This is just for Mac, isn't it ? I can't find it for PC No, I had the program installed on my Windows Vista.

But what Madrid needs right now is a change, something that makes fans forget this bad season, and I think buying great players is a good move. Yeah, shame they have to pay all that money but... what do you want me to say? That's not my business. If Florentino wants to do it and can do it then I don't see the problem. It's legal. Sure football is a money game but we can't do anything about it, and it won't be me who will complain. Figo & Zidane were excellent players for Madrid (Zizou is my all time fav. player).

We didn't need to remember that dude LOL I'm not in a position to talk being a Newcastle fan am I really? LOL Haha, nah man, white and black stripes forever!! :laugh:

We didn't need to remember that dude LOL

I think you can download any video from the Internet using the 'Real Player Downloader'. It's an interesting tool that will let you download the most rare videos you find. I don't have it anymore though, LOL Anyways try to search this concert on Youtube. I believe I saw it on there some time ago. You can download vids from u2b, can't you? If I see it I'll let you know! ;)

This is one of my favorite performances: http://www.tiscali.co.uk/video/941/music/46664---Will-Smith/

Well... it's ALMOST confirmed man...

It's crazy, and nobody deserves so much money at all. But... that's how it goes nowadays I guess. Look at Manchester City for example. "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

Real Madrid lands Cristiano Ronaldo, approaches a quarter of a billion dollars on two players Christiano Ronaldo just cost Real Madrid nine-figures. Here's Ronaldo indicating how the economy looks from where he stands. George Steinbrenner, who built the New York Yankees with lavish spending, looks like a cheapskate compared with Real Madrid lately. According to European media reports, the soccer club will spend $131.7 million to purchase the rights to Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo just days after spending $94 million for Brazil's Kaka. Add it up and the club is dropping more than $225 million -- not counting salaries -- to procure two of the best players in the sport. Ronaldo was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008. Kaka won in 2007. There's already skepticism from Real Madrid's archrival, FC Barcelona, over whether the club can afford to spend so much. Real Madrid has recently acknowledged having significant debt. Imagine if NBA rules allowed the Boston Celtics to buy Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. It's not a perfect analogy since neither of the soccer players are locked in a greatest-of-all-time debate, but you get the idea. Scary. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/06/real-madrid-lands-christiano-ronaldo-approaches-a-quarter-of-a-billion-dollars-on-two-players.html ---------------------- Welcome to the greatest club in the world, Ronaldo! Florentino rules :smile:

MTV’s Josh Horowitz chatted up Denzel Washington recently, in support of his starring role in this week’s summer action remake “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.” When Josh asked Washington if there was a genre he’d never touched, he responded with the news that he’s working on some sort of comedy — maybe with an action bent — with Will Smith. The “Pelham” star didn’t have much more to say than that, though with heavy-hitters like Smith and Washington involved it shouldn’t be long before more emerges. Washington isn’t being entirely honest though. Anyone who’s seen “Ricochet” knows he can be funny. That was a comedy, right? Head over to MTV.com to catch the rest of MTV Rough Cut: Denzel Washington. VIDEO! http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/06/10/denzel-washington-and-will-smith-have-got-jokes/

Haha, I had this on mp3. Good you uploaded it to Youtube though! ;) Man it's great to have you here. You keep the forum alive!!
