The first-class honours degree logos of a big family, Alberto Cortéz studied at the Manuel Ignacio Molina subaltern shoal in San Rafael. Music was an early erotic love and most a vocation, as Cortéz began composing songs by age 11. After perusing pianissimo at the Chopin Conservatory in Mendoza, the lester Willis Young vocaliser continued enhancing his voice and trade. At the age of 18, Cortéz went to Buenos Aires to embark university, but his stay was short-lived. From there, Cortéz ventured to Europe and was heavy influenced by Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel. After playacting as part of a travelling musical sestet, Cortéz was scheduled to come back to his native land. But a address from a producer resulted in the musician recording his debut album Welcome to the Latin Club in 1961. Early albums were commercial-oriented, but as his career evolved, Cortéz secondhand the plant of hellenic Spanish writers and poets as breathing in and for lyrical content in his songs. In 1967, Cortéz released Poemas y Canciones, Vol. 1 and the second book the following twelvemonth, which were related to the outstanding Spanish works. From 1969 to 1980, the musician released an album annually and toured throughout Europe, Latin America and North America, playacting at New York's Carnegie Hall. In 1989, he signed to Mercury Records and released Alma Fuerte. Another prolific period of recording and acting began as his fan base expanded. Albums released during this period included Aromas as well as Fe in 1998. Cortéz has often been compared to Luis Rojas and Juan Carlos Coronel.

50 Cent 'Amazed' After Meeting Nelson Mandela

US rapper 50 Cent has described his recent meeting with Nelson Mandela as “amazing”.



The rapper met with the former leader of South Africa during a brief tour of the country earlier this year.



Speaking to MTV news about the encounter, which happened with little media spotlight, 50 Cent said it was more than he had expected.



The rapper was accompanied around South Africa by Mandla Mandela, Mr Mandela's grandson, who took 50 Cent to the Apartheid Museum and the Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum.



"I've been enlightened in a lot of different ways," 50 Cent said, talking about his tour.



"To have someone directly involved give me information was exciting. You know, I learn faster hands-on than I do from reading books,” he said.



“It's exciting to be in a position where people [of the Mandelas' stature] will actually take the time out to explain these things to me."

There's something "Happening" here; what it is ain't exactly clear

Meet Elliot and Alma, a young married couple who live in an improbably elegant town house in Philadelphia. Elliot (Mark Wahlberg) is a high-school science teacher and ... well, he's a high-school science teacher, in that genial way Wahlberg has of playing characters who appear to have no complexities whatsoever. Alma (Zooey Deschanel) is a therapist with a habit of opening her eyes very, very wide, almost zombie-wide, which is confusing in a horror movie. And she's carrying around a Dark Secret: She has, we learn, had dessert with another man, a mysterious "Joey" who keeps calling her cellphone. "We ate tiramisu together!" she admits, wretchedly, into the phone. (Is that what the kids are calling it these days?)

In between all this marital- and dessert-related drama, something else is going on — "an event," as somebody calls it early in the movie. And that's the biggest problem with "The Happening," M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller: The real story too often seems to be playing second fiddle to Elliot and Alma's minor-league relationship problems. Due to a terrorist attack or some freakish natural event (nobody's sure in the movie at first), people suddenly start committing suicide en masse, first in Central Park, then throughout a large area of the East Coast, including the Pennsylvania countryside where Elliot and Alma have fled the city with a friend's little daughter (Ashlyn Sanchez) in tow.

This is chilling stuff, and some early shots of New York construction workers deliberately falling from skyscrapers is genuinely haunting. But Shyamalan, who brilliantly showed in "The Sixth Sense" that he knows how to capture an audience with ominous quiet, seems to be coasting here. The screenplay is a mess, filled with unfunny moments of intended humor and funny moments of unintended humor. (A preteen boy, running for his life with Elliot and Alma, takes the opportunity to lecture them about why they haven't had kids.) And it's the sort of movie in which you can tell, from the opening minutes, who will die horribly and who will live to, ahem, eat tiramisu again. Sadly, too many of the better actors die, leaving the blander ones behind.

Though I kept wondering whether we'd be told why Alma chose to flee the apocalypse in a lovely blue halter dress and heels (Was she thinking there'd be some fabulous post-disaster after-party? Had she just seen "Sex and the City"?), "The Happening" has no particular twist, as Shyamalan's movies often do. It's a straight-up disaster/horror flick, filled with gruesome deaths, plenty of running and Wahlberg earnestly explaining scientific concepts to people who have more pressing concerns. But for it to really work, we have to care about Elliot and Alma, the way we cared about little Cole and his mother in "The Sixth Sense." Here they seem like pretty afterthoughts, forced to carry a movie without being given the muscle to do so.

Kirsten Dunst: 'I Went To Rehab For Depression, Not Drugs'

Kirsten Dunst has revealed that her stint in rehab earlier this year was to treat depression and not substance abuse as previously reported.

The Spiderman actress explained in an interview that she had spent six months trying to battle the blues, but eventually realised she needed help which is why she checked in to a Utah facility.

She tells E! News: "I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression. It was a good six months before I decided to go away.

"I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it.

"My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge."

Dunst admits speculation about her health and personal problems haven't helped her in her battle: "Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about.

"There's been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life... (That's) very painful for my friends and family.

"Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumours, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I'm feeling stronger, I'm prepared to say something."

Lohan to work in morgue as punishment

Actress Lindsay Lohan will work at a morgue as part of her punishment for a drink-driving offence.
The 21-year-old star will complete the work-placement as part of a court-ordered programme, in which she must learn about the dangers of drink-driving.
According to reports, Lohan is due to spend two four-hour days at the morgue, as well as completing a stint working in a hospital emergency room.
The actress was arrested twice last year on charges of driving while under the influence. In August she pleaded guilty to misdemeanour drunken driving and cocaine charges.
Lohan served 84 minutes of her 24-hour jail sentence last November. She must now complete an alcohol education programme and perform 10 days of community service.
