Can you help me with an audition for 'Belle'?
I’m auditioning for ‘Belle’ from Beauty and the Beast tomorrow, and they are really picky about the girl they pick! I sort of have a headstart, as the Beast is one of my best friends, so i will be comfortable auditioning with him. But i need a little advice on how to play Belle (it’s the stage version, not the disney) so i can be as near perfect as possible! Thanks :)


nope. Good luck!
Kirsten | Feb 06, 2010


I was in this show. Belle is a very independent woman who fantasizes about love but doesn’t believe she will ever find it, like it’s beyond her simple country life. She is extremely dedicated and loyal to her father, and to the beast once they become friends. She is self-sacrificing and headstrong, so be confident but simple! Break a leg!

I hope you have read the script before auditioning.
Otherwise you’re trying to bring a stereotype character to life.

It always helps you to read and understand the script, have an idea of who the director is, what they have done before , how they are and what they like.

Otherwise the best you can do is the best "you" you can do. Sometimes directors like hearing what you sound like, see how you hold yourself and what kind of energy you have – if that is all there they may tolerate someone who hasn’t read the script, though this approach is incredibly tricky for a newbie.

All the best :)

Filth and Wisdom

Filth and Wisdom
Filth and Wisdom (2008)

IMDB rating: 5.40

Plot: A comedy centered on three flatmates living desperate lives in London.

Directors: Madonna

Actors: Ade,Bordello Gogol,Fedoro Olegar,Graham Stephen,Grant Richard E.,Hutz Eugene,Keeler George,Levey Elliot,Manocha Inder,Wallers Tim,Comedy,Drama,Music,Romance,

Back to the old ways, South Africa and the world?
Have you noticed that all the people who always mock traditional Christian values are usually the same ones who complain about the results of the lack of that selfsame morality. I must confess, I went through an adolescent phase when I thought it was all a load of rubbish, as teenagers do, but now I see that perhaps there was wisdom in the old ways afterall.

Now we have a complete lack of discipline in schools, the traditional family becoming a rarity, brothers and sisters demanding the right to marry, children being made in laboratories to gay couples, human-animal monster clones being made in test-tubes, the streets filled with drugs, perversion, crime and filth, war, famine and pestilence due to the worship of materialism and the selfish pursuit of Mamon,…… are these people happy? I remember when there was drought in South Africa and the old president ordered us all to pray for rain, we did, and it rained. That was when our country had some spine!
Time for the old ways?
Lee J- it is because of badly-educated morons like you that South Africa is in the state she is in. For a start your statistics are wrong, 79% of South Africa is black, you ignore the coloured people, the Indians and the others completely and turn this into a black and white issue. Secondly, the reference to praying for rain was a reference to the 1970’s when you were probably not even born.
Your racism oozes out of everything you say. As for the sports, well, what a clever excuse you provide for the Bafana’s sad failing recently. How come they won the African Nations Cup in 1996 then? Only two years into democracy…. Excuses are for losers and you certainly are one big racist loser. I love my counrty and all of her people and people like you are her worst enemy- badly educated, ignorant, aggressive and racially prejudiced. Ja, the mentality of "my own people are wonderful and everyone else is kak".
PS. Re incest http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/642433 7.stm


It’s quite sad how people like Lee J can’t come up with any GOOD reasons. They keep using the same old kak! The world is sick of it and so am I..!!

What makes Africa is the land and the people who can actually get on with each other! The people who can work together like praying for rain! People who have respect for one another and can think further than their own noses, people with common sense!

When will people wake up and smell the coffee? We were all put on this earth to make a different for the better not to destroy our beautiful Motherland!! We only have ourselves to blame for letting the world get to this stage, I hope God can forgive us all for not standing up and protecting her from people like Lee J who like you said MJ are her worst enemy- badly educated, ignorant, aggressive and racially prejudiced.

As for your question, I wish the "old" days would be brought back, maybe just maybe then we will actually have a somewhat stable environment for our kids and their kids. What ever happened to the little thing called discipline? I don’t even want to think what the world will be like in 20 years time if people keep acting the way they do. The world is lacking in common sense and brain cells! Must be from all the dagga they been smoking!!

Skyli | Jun 21, 2008


You are right MJ the world leaders are pretty fkd up, including this retard Lee J above me.
It is like everything goes, these days all in the name of freedom, tolerance, human rights out of control, and Political Correctness.
We have been painted into a corner by people who lacked the foresight to see the consequences of their own insane vision and now we are paying the price, the world is on the verge of the third world war and everything is upside down.
Good question shows vision.
conservation chris | Jun 21, 2008


Brothers and sisters cannot marry, it does not work for horses, how is it going to work for humans. Our government is not christians, they will never pray. I have never seen Thabo pray for anything.
Lulu V | Jun 21, 2008


We have lack of discipline in schools and homes, because parents and teachers are no longer allowed to punish children. The traditional family is becoming a rarity, because of high divorce rates, families splitting up and moving apart because of job opportunities, and women demanding equal rights. I am completely against test tube babies, etc. because that is God’s job. Not man’s.
In short, I agree with you. We are fast going backwards.
If you mean by old ways that people should turn back to the church and God, then yes, I agree with you. God is the only one who can save us all, SA and the rest of the world, now.
Lark | Jun 21, 2008


Lee J – shame, guess what, it takes one to know one, at least EMjay knows what he is talking about…………….
cheri | Jun 21, 2008


Small consolation or perhaps no consolation at all but the whole world seems to have the same problem Emjay. Kids over here, speak just as badly as kids over there and have even less respect for people. A war vet upstairs from me was beaten up for his pension cheque by a bunch of bad mouthed kids just for something to do. Grrrrrrrrrr. I spent my life taking care of war vets and it really ticks me off. Kids over here get passing grades at school because failing might traumatize them!!! Guess what failing as an adult will do – probably turn them into criminals and we will end up like the States building more and more jails and prisons. I am glad I am on my way out and not just arriving because I do not know what the answer is. Well I do , but I do not know how to get the powers that be to institute it. Find an answer for that and I will be on that bandwagon so fast it will turn your hair curly.
Karen C | Jun 21, 2008


Lol Honey I agree with you 100%,I still remember the drought and the President asked us to pray,those were good old days.
People like Lee J don’t know what his talking about and his the one that’s spewing more hatred,I feel sorry for people like him.xxx
Wonderstar | Jun 21, 2008


MJ, for once, I agree with you 100%. We’d make strange allies in the fight to restore normality, but it’s high time such things were said.

Borstal Boy

Borstal Boy
Borstal Boy (2000)

IMDB rating: 6.70

Plot: Brendan Behan, a sixteen year-old republican, is going on a bombing mission from Ireland to Liverpool during the second world war. His mission is thwarted when he is apprehended, charged and imprisoned in Borstal, a reform institution for young offenders in East Anglia, England. At Borstal, Brendan is forced to live face-to-face with those he perceived as “the enemy,” a confrontation that reveals a deep inner conflict in the young Brendan and forces a self-examination that is both traumatic and revealing. Events take an unexpected turn and Brendan is thrown into a complete spin. In the emotional vortex, he finally faces up to the truth.

Should the ex borstal boy Councillor John Taylor come clean about his past?
He was sent to borstal for smashing his old school up he his known as Taylor the wag because he never went to school. Oh but its ok for Lbour councillors to have a criminal past then.
www.johntaylor.labour.co.uk


Roy, if he was born in 1948 (from another of your questions in a different name), then if he ever was in borstal, it was 40 years ago.

Is that the best you can do to smear the man who beat you comprehensively when you stood against him as BNP candidate in Dukinfield?

What about some issues, Roy, not "40 years ago he might have been a bit of a wrong’un"?

And if you believe in free speech ( I understand that freedom is a big thing with the BNP) why do I keep getting violations from you and why do you keep blocking me?

Mr Sceptic | Oct 30, 2007


I agree with you completely. Yes, he should come clean about his past.. but why should people just accept it? A leader should lead by example and be answerable for everything in their past.
alakazam | Oct 30, 2007


"Bad boy made good" OK so he is a Labour Councillor. Perhaps you have never heard of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. I will not make my usual cracks about politicians but surely the fact that he has stayed out of trouble is an indication of A REFORMED CHARACTER and that Borstal worked for him . I have no intention of looking up the website and I think this question gives more information about yourself then it does about Mr Taylor. Think on it.
Scouse | Oct 30, 2007


I am sixty five now, semi retired help at my local school voluntarily on the IT side. Do some gardening work for a couple of elderly less able neighbours and attend Church weekly because I feel it’s right to do so. At eighteen I was convicted of theft, paid my dues and regret my stupidity. So should I now stop helping people crawl away and die or what. If God can forgive surely the BNP could try to do the same.

Actors: Bennett Joseph,Ross Magenty Adrian,Hopkins Anthony,Wilby James,Latimer Ian,West Samuel,Prawer Siegbert,Drama,Romance,

What was England like at the time E. M. Forster wrote Howards End?
What was going on in england when he wrote the book?
what were his influences?


E.M. Forster wrote Howard’s End in 1910, as England (and all of Europe) was heading towards World War I.

This means that he was writing shortly before the modernists like T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Ezra Pound, most of whom wrote their best-known works shortly after World War I.

Forster’s work deals heavily with the class struggles in England during the early twentieth century. See the second link (below) for more details and a general overview of the time period.

Deja Vu

Deja Vu
Deja Vu (2006)

IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: After an explosion on a ferry kills over 500 people including a large group of party-going sailors, an ATF agent investigates the crime. AN FBI agent also joins the investigation. Impressed with the ATF agent’s skills, the FBI agent invites him to join a new team that has a new program that uses satellite technology to look backwards in time for 4-1/2 days to try to capture the terrorist. Meanwhile a young woman who was burned washes up on shore. Meant to look like part of of the explosion, the body arrives at its location too soon, which leads the agents to believe her death is related to the explosion. As they use the new technology to study the woman, the ATF agent determines that this is not satellite imagery but somehow is using a time warp. From this point in the film, the movie moves from a crime film to a sci-fi time paradox film. Nonetheless, the action is non-stop and always captivating. The end of the film may be confusing to some people, but it is all laid out if one cares to look carefully. Contains some extreme violence that some may find disturbing, particularly during the explosion when many people are shown jumping off the boat in flames.

Directors: Scott Tony

Actors: Washington Denzel,Kilmer Val,Caviezel James,Goldberg Adam,Henson Elden,Greenwood Bruce,Hutchman Rich,Craven Matt,Howe Brian,Castillo Enrique,Phinney Mark,Action,Drama,Romance,Sci-Fi,Thriller,

Me and my weird dream visions.?
Okay I’ve been having these weird dreams since I could remember and it is starting to make me angry because I don’t remember them until it happens. Is it just deja vu or what?


Yes it would be deja vu because you had a dream of a similar event and you only remember it because it is so similar to what is happening in front of you.

Well, I guess you are cute and sweet looking.
But you look the same in both pictures :P
Charlie | Feb 08, 2010


You look good both ways, I like the new look better thoe :)
S N ii P 3 RXo | Feb 08, 2010


I think you look fine in both i like the new look better i just recently got side bangs and i think you look older in the old hair style picture
Natasha | Feb 08, 2010


I think you look older with your ‘new look’ but you look friendlier with your old one…or maybe that’s just because you’re hugging a massive elmo
Tangibletanjil | Feb 08, 2010


WOW.
you look exactly the same.
starsinthesky | Feb 08, 2010


First off i would like to say that you are very pretty. :)

i am not a guy so i don’t know if you a hottie or nottie. :P
I don’t really know what you mean by new look and old look. You actually look the same in both pictures.

Also in your old look you look 12-13? And then in your new look you look 14-15?
Im not thte best age guesser. :L

Well i hope i have helped you. :D for more advice mail me at Sierraehil@yahoo.com
SierraHildreth | Feb 08, 2010


I think you look very similar in both of these photos… maybe a little makeup in the new look? Is that you in the picture with the flower behind your ear? If that’s you, then you are stunning! And i think you look about 18 in the flower photo, about 16 in the ‘new look’ photo, and about 14 in the elmo photo.
Nae | Feb 08, 2010


Less attractive.about 20?
Biscay | Feb 08, 2010


The new look is definitely better. You have obviously matured since the pic w/ Elmo :) You no longer look like you are 12, your face looks like it has matured some, but not completely (you can still tell you are young)
Ashlynn | Feb 08, 2010


Your new picture looks better. Looks about the same age, Just different pictures taken. I guess if you posted those two pictures on different accounts ppl might think you look older in you rnew picture because you’re not standing next to elmo =)

i noticed that your eyebrows are different now. In a better way! but i do suggest you to grow out the top part a bit more so you can pluck more at the area that should be giving you an arch.

anyways! i vote HOTTIE!
Deviant | Feb 08, 2010


All your new look consists of are layers in your hair, and you changed your parting to the other side LOL.

You look the same.
Are you datable? Sure, as long as you don’t have a terrible personality.
optimism | Feb 08, 2010


uhh this looks like 2 different people, you look prettier now than you did
alysha | Feb 08, 2010


I think you should get a gay guy to style you.
eskjrlhsjr | Feb 08, 2010


you look great either way..i would date you.
Charles | Feb 08, 2010


Wow, are you Elmo’s girlfriend? You’re a cutie, I guess seventeen now.

Red Violin, The
Red Violin, The (1998)

IMDB rating: 7.70

Plot: In present day Montreal, a famous Nicolo Bussotti violin, known as “the red violin,” is being auctioned off. During the auction, we flash back to the creation of the violin in 17th century Italy, and follow the violin as it makes its way through an 18th century Austrian monastery, a violinist in 19th century Oxford, China during the Cultural Revolution, and back to Montreal, where a collector tries to establish the identity and the secrets of “the red violin.”

Directors: Girard Francois

Actors: Cecchi Carlo,Koncz Christoph,Bideau Jean-Luc,Puntelli Tommaso,Amighetti Samuele,Brugnini Aldo,Groll Florentin,Silberschneider Johannes,Egger Rainer,Koeker Paul,Bock Wolfgang,Mairginter Josef,Drama,Romance,Mystery,Music,

Is it too late to save my turtle?
I’m grade 6 and I got a red eared slider and kept it in a 8 gallon tank for almost 3 years with a turtle dock, a 60 watt desk lamp, and water which covers only 4 inches of the tank because the tank has a crack in it which I filled so I can’t put any more water in there or the tank will leak. He is being fed pellets, shrimp, and krill. We keep the light on for less than 10 hours a day because my parents think its enough time and because of the electricity bills. He hardly grew for 3 years and his shell is only 3.5 inches. I know he is severely stunted because he was a hatchling when I bought him and I kept him for 6 years. The first few years when I bought him he was kept in a tiny container with a tiny amount of water and a small rock with no lighting or heating, he was only kept underneath the window for natural sunlight. He is a male and he should be full grown by now, but he is not even a sub-adult. I did lots of research but my parents think that he was 50 years old when we bought him and he won’t grow anymore so this tank is sufficient. I couldn’t believe my ears when my dad said that my turtle can live up to 10 000 years. I know he can’t live that long and he was NOT 50 years old when we bought him. I ow know how to take care of him, but my parents and my even more ignorant grandparents don’t have a clue on the proper habitat and care of turtles. In fact, my parents don’t even take him to a vet at all.
He doesn’t have a UVB bulb and hardly has anything he needs to survive. He was kept in an extremely poor habitat for years, and he is still alive. My parents said that they will give him a proper home by January, but they don’t seem like they care.
It seems like all the people in my family and my friends are all neglecting turtles. My old friend from my old school has two baby turtles in a tiny plastic container with no lights or heating. Only a rock with some water in the container. My other friend from the same town as me also had a turtle in a poor habitat and she gave it away (luckily!). The owners of my old house have a turtle in a small plastic container with no lights or heaters or filters, only gravel, a basking area, some plastic plants, and water which covers almost the whole tank. My friend from my new school has a turtle in a extremely poor habitat (a clay pot only with water) in China. My aunt has 2 turtles in a poor habitat in China. My violin teacher has 3 turtle cramped in a vase with a tiny bit of water and a rock, and the pet store near my old house has a few sub adult turtles cramped in a 30 gallon. Not to mention the turtle I have. All these sights of neglected turtles are so disturing it’s hard for me to fall asleep at night.
Anyways, my question is: Is it too late to save my turtle? Will there be any hope for my turtle? How much longer can he stay in this enviroment? If I give him a proper enviroment will he still stay alive? Should I give my turtle away (I really don’t want to)?


It’s a pleasure to find someone who knows how to care for turtles, can separate the truth from the BS, and wants to do the right thing. I get the feeling that you are going to have to raise the needed money yourself, so let’s go bare-bones.

The cheapest adequate tanks are stiff-sided wading pools. My local pet shop was selling 3′ diameter pools for $9. You can also get plastic totes (the kind without wheels) or but a used Aquarium. Get the biggest you can. Keep the tank bare. Certainly, no gravel. Plants will just get crushed and killed. For a basking spot, use a slab of wood wedged in the tank at a slight angle. You may have to use a wooden support if you are using a wading pool. UV-B lights are relatively expensive and have to be replaced twice a year but you can give the turtle adequate vitamin D if you feed it lots of liver. Dust the liver with bone meal to give it calcium at the same time. Alternatively, blocks of plaster in the tank will provide the calcium needed for growth, as will earthworms and bait fishes. Note that all these are cheaper than what you have been feeding the turtle, which should make your parents happy. Maybe that will allow you to keep the water and the basking site warmer. Aim fo 80

what twist should be added to this story?
my friend and i were extremely bored so we decided to send this document back and forth (on google docs, if that helps) and we took turns writing a couple of sentences for our story. the story really has no plot and no ending? we just started today. my character is elena, and she’s very focused and serious about karate. my friend’s character is bubbles (don’t ask -.-) and she’s boy crazy and clumsy and girly. what we do is write a couple of sentences and share the file and take turns. here’s a little part of it:

At the moment, it wouldn’t be possible to let out an overly annoyed grunt and moan when the sensei expected us to run in place. "Run in place with the music." He told us, playing a heavy metal song, that was very soft, but still. It felt pretty awkward running in place with everyone while we were in this huge circle. To avoid the awkwardness, I looked down at my feet making sure I didn’t move forward. "The song is 8 minutes." He said and gave a smirk. "We’ll be doing this for a while. If you’re sweating and panting now, wait to see what’s coming." He chuckled. My sensei was the strongest, toughest man I have ever seen. How should he expect us to do what he can do? But I guess we had to push it to the limit and try as hard as we can. This was 10x more P.E. We ran in place. I found myself following the beat of the drums. Everyone caught on and we ran at an even pace. Was it minutes, or hours that passed by? I couldn’t tell. I felt numb. The feeling when you see what’s going on, but things are racing through your mind. All I saw was the floor bouncing, which was just an illusion because I was looking down and the floor seemed as if it came closer while I ran in place. Snap out of it.

I was loosing my breath. I donno why this tough guy was making us run in the same spot for 8 minutes. Thats just crazy. Well if jason could do it, i had to aswell to impress him. I would do anything for his attention. If i had to fart in his face i would do it. Wow, i cant feel my legs, and my toes were turing pink. I started going faster, and faster. I just ate before i got here, which was a VERY bad idea. Now i was starting to feel like i needed to throw up. I felt my lunch comming up and BAM! next thing i know, im vomiting all over the place. On the walls, on the parents, on EVERYONE, even the sensei. It was just my luck that it was Projectile vomit. Oh my gosh, i thought to myself as i lied on the floor over my vomit. How did this happen? Next thing i saw was Jason looking over me, with vomit all over himself. "Are you okay?" he asked me. As i tried to reply, i threw up on him.

the first paragraph is mine and she second is hers. i see this story going nowhere, so any ideas? i know this is completely pointless but its fun.

also an additional question.
i need some story plots and such for future stories i work on. any interesting ideas? its not for school, these are just personal stories i write in my spare time but i appreciate it. thanks.


How about just then bank robbers run in shooting back at cops the getaway had obviously gone bad and now your in the middle of a hostage situation. Is this the time to use what you’ve learned or hold tight with fingers crossed? is this a good Adrenalin situation to get closer to the one you like?

other storys
– finding a dead body berried in your back yard
– Elena and Bubbles both wake from comas in a hospital and find that there the only ones there wear is everyone??
