Vacation in England

True, you can’t swim in the beaches because it’s too damn cold and you can’t enjoy the sun because the weather is always being weird. However, there are still places you can visit and interesting things you can do during your stay in England.

Visitors are allowed to witness assemblages that are analogous to studies like mineralogy, paleontology, zoology and entomology. Admission is free for everyone.

London is the heart of all cosmopolitan cities in England. Many people travel to London for several reasons like touring, visiting, working and even living permanently. There are a lot of colossal infrastructures to be found everywhere and there are new buildings and skyscrapers too. There are a lot of restaurants, bars and theaters to choose from.

Stonehenge, a mysterious but beautiful place, has been very popular not only to the tourists but also to the archaeologists. It was believed to be build before heavy-carrying equipment are invented that make scientists scratch their head. Although, it is part of the UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Site. They also believed that it was a burial place million years ago.

The most popular Christian construction in England is the Canterbury Cathedral or also known as the Cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primary head of England and the emblematic chief of the Anglican Communion.

Skateboard

Nowadays, skateboarding is a very popular past time not only to teenage guys but also girls and even sports enthusiast. Whether they break a leg or hit those fragile balls between their legs, they still love doing the tricks again and again despite of the risks and troubles. Learn these interesting facts about this hobby.

Waves in California are not always the same on what you see in movies, advertisements and photos. It’s not always that California beaches can produce strong waves. Because of these,some unknown Californians invented something similar to surfing boards but with wheels. The original skateboards in the early 1900s do not look like the skateboards you see today. They are most likely indistinguishable to scooters. Most of them are made out of woods nailed to milk crates and have handles.

However,these equipment were not yet available to everyone until in 1959, Makaha(owned by Larry Stevenson) mass-produced skateboards and were commercially sold to people who are interested to buy it. They were also other companies who manufactured skateboards. However, Larry was the first one to make a professional skateboard named to a renowned surfer Phil Edwards. Not only that, he was the first one to held a skateboarding competition joined by a lot of contestants.

However, on other parts of the world like Norway, banned the using and selling skateboards.The reason was that many people were injured because of this equipment. However, there were still skateboarders who secretly build skateboarding ramps in hideouts.

Yet in 1976, Florida emerged with their first outdoor park solely for the purpose of skateboarding. A lot of states followed after that. Even skateboards were examined these paraphernalia for detection of sniper fire and tripwires. If you try to imagine it, that would be really weird.

Most Demanding Celebrities from Hollywood

1.  Katherine Heigl

Who doesn’t know her for outrageous on-set demands? According to a reporter from hollywood, he (or she) spoke to a lot of people who handled her from executives to producers. First, she complained about a sexist movie she was working on a video. She even said she wasn’t looking for an award by the show of Grey’s Anatomy of ABC because she believes it wasn’t good enough. An insider also complained about her being time consuming on every set, no wonder nothing is being done on time. They may not sound like demands but who wants a nagging woman over a set?

2. Lindsay Lohan

She is not just a very demanding actress but also a late comer. Her worst publicity was during 2013 of the movie The Canyons. In an interview with the director of the movie, Director Paul Schrader, he said that during the 16 months of working with her, he felt like he was being held captive. He says she is very good with her job but her attitude is intolerable. In her documentary series called Lindsay we can see how she left a project on a very last minute because she doesn’t want to speak on it.

3. Shia LaBeouf

He wasn’t actually demanding to the point that he need his dressing room to be in a specific room temperature or because he constantly complains about a script. However, when he was engaged into a public fight between Danielle Sullivan and Alec Baldwin which are his co-stars from the Orphans, he didn’t come back, ever again. However, he did sent an apology letter.

4. Lea Michele 

After Kate Hudson worked for a few months in the series Glee she said this during an interview, “Kate says Lea is a nightmare. Once, during a technical delay, Lea snapped her fingers and said, ‘Let’s go. I have plans!’”. She is not only demanding on sets but also other events like parties and ceremonies.

Shia LaBeouf has many arguments just like with Brad Pitt. Watch this interview with him.

Celebrities Breaking Up

Every time there is a celebrity break up, we would go “awwwww” or “noooo” and would say “But they looked like a perfect couple.” Take for example Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus, they were already engaged and happy but for some sort of reason, they broke up. So why exactly do celebrities break up more often? Is it really more often that regular people?

Sometimes relationship starts when they’re on the same project, they always hang out together, maybe a little bit of sensual scenes. However, actresses and actors are confused whether the feelings they’re having are real or just fake. This is why they break up because they aren’t really sure if they love the person truly.

Another reason is the age difference. It will give a lot of insecurities between the couple. People will start talking about you and maybe hating your relationship.

You hear about the news, magazines, tabloids and the internet that they’re very happy about their relationship but you wonder why they broke up after a few months or worse, weeks. Well, they really aren’t. If people do not know what is really going in the story then no one can really tell if they’re relationship is going strong or going down.

Being busy is a burden for two famous people having relationship. Therefore, they won’t be able to have time for dates, hanging out, talking or even seeing each other.Obviously, because of the lack of communication, they will eventually separate.

When they get married, divorce is easy to grab since they have the money and coordinate logistics. If they need witnesses, it’s so easy to look for one or pay for them.

However, on the other factor, there might be personal reasons why celebrities break up and we should really dig in to know the real antagonist.

Here’s a funny video of breaking up with an overly attached girlfriend.

He is now a very iconic person especially to teenage girls. Every time he hold a concert, they would scream for his name.

Also, he was thrown raw eggs while he was having a concert. Will this interesting facts about him change your mind about the way you think about him?

He is not a good role model

Aside from his physical appearance, people hate him for his attitude and reckless behavior. He has been involved with police especially when it comes to his cars and over speeding. It’s fine until you already killed someone. During an interview, he said that he didn’t really want to go to school and it’s not an importance to him. To others, this is like telling teenagers to party all night than to go to school and study for their future. At the age of 18, he already knew many things like getting too many tattoos, piercing, smoking weed, drinking and getting people mad. During a gathering, Justin provoked Orlando Bloom to punch him in the face.

He is everywhere

There is no time that you won’t hear his songs playing on the radio, guesting in television shows, concerts announced in news channels, new music videos in youtube and girls chattering about their idol and how they want to meet him. Hearing news about him is completely normal because he is a famous person. However, too much popularity is not. It’s very irritating that everything is about him when it’s all about the same thing. He even have more followers than the US President who is more powerful than him.
