Celeste Holm

Celeste Holm (April 29, 1917 – July 15, 2012) was an American stage, film and television actress, known for her Academy Award-winning performance in Gentleman's Agreement (1947), as well as for her Oscar-nominated performances in Come to the Stable (1949) and All About Eve (1950) and originating the role of Ado Annie in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Oklahoma! (1943).

Born and raised in New York City, Holm grew up as an only child. Her mother, Jean Parke, was an American portrait artist and author; her father, Theodor Holm, was a Norwegian businessman whose company provided marine adjustment services for Lloyd's of London. Because of her parents' occupations, she traveled often during her youth and attended various schools in Holland, France and the United States. She graduated from University High School for Girls in Chicago, where she performed in many school stage productions. She then studied drama at the University of Chicago before becoming a stage actress in the late 1930s.

Holm's first professional theatrical role was in a production of Hamlet starring Leslie Howard. Her first role on Broadway was a small part in 1938 comedy Gloriana, which lasted five performances. Her first major Broadway part was as Mary L. in William Saroyan's 1940 revival of The Time of Your Life co-starring fellow newcomer Gene Kelly. The role that got her the most recognition from critics and audiences was Ado Annie in the flagship Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! in 1943.

After she starred in the Broadway production of Bloomer Girl, 20th Century Fox signed Holm to a movie contract in 1946. She made her film debut that same year in Three Little Girls in Blue, making a startling entrance in a “Technicolor red” dress singing “Always a Lady,” a belting Ado Annie-type song, although the character was different—a lady. In 1947 she won an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in Gentleman's Agreement. After her performance in All About Eve, however, Holm realized she preferred live theater to movie work, and only accepted a few select film roles over the following decade. The most successful of these were the comedy The Tender Trap (1955) and the musical High Society (1956), both of which co-starred Frank Sinatra. She starred as a professor-turned-reporter in New York City in the CBS television series Honestly, Celeste! (fall 1954) and was thereafter a panelist on Who Pays? (1959). She also appeared several times on ABC's The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom.

In 1958, she starred as a reporter in an unsold television pilot called The Celeste Holm Show, based on the book No Facilities for Women. Holm also starred in the musical The Utter Glory of Morrissey Hall. In 1965, she played the Fairy Godmother alongside Lesley Ann Warren in the CBS production of Cinderella. In 1970-71, she was featured on the NBC sitcom Nancy, with Renne Jarrett, John Fink and Robert F. Simon. In the story line, Holm played Abby Townsend, the press secretary of the First Lady of the United States and the chaperon of Jarrett's character, Nancy Smith, the President's daughter.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Holm did more screen acting, with roles in films such as Tom Sawyer and Three Men and a Baby, and in television series (often as a guest star) such as Columbo, The Eleventh Hour, Archie Bunker's Place and Falcon Crest. In 1979, she played the role of First Lady Florence Harding in the television mini-series, Backstairs at the White House. She was a regular on the ABC soap opera Loving, appearing first in 1986 in the role of Lydia Woodhouse and again as Isabelle Dwyer Alden #2 from 1991 to 1992. She last appeared on television in the CBS television series Promised Land (1996–99).

According to her husband, Holm had been treated for memory loss since 2002, suffered skin cancer, bleeding ulcers and a collapsed lung, and had hip replacements and pacemakers.

In June 2012, Holm was admitted to New York's Roosevelt Hospital with dehydration after a fire in Robert De Niro's apartment in the same Manhattan building. She suffered a heart attack on July 13 in the facility, dying at home on July 15, where she chose to spend her final days. She is survived by husband Frank Basile and her sons.

Katy Perry

Firework is my favorite song when I listen Katty Perry Album’s. Everyone know katy perry, Katy was born October 25,1984 in santa barbara,  is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Perry grew up with gospel music, and during her first year of high school she pursued a music career as Katy Hudson, releasing her first studio album called Katy Hudson which failed to chart. She recorded a solo album later, which was never released. After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry.

She first gained recognition with the release of her first mainstream album, One of the Boys in 2008, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"I Kissed A Girl", "Hot n Cold" and "Waking Up In Vegas". Perry supported the album with her Hello Katy Tour. In 2010, her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010), which topped the Billboard 200 chart, and spawned five number one singles—"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"—Teenage Dream was the only album (after Michael Jackson's Bad)—to do so, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone. She embarked on the California Dreams Tour, which grossed nearly $60 million worldwide. Perry re-released the album under the name of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection on March 26, 2012, and the re-release has already spawned the number-one single "Part of Me" and top five single "Wide Awake".

Perry is the only artist to spend over 52 consecutive weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and has since extended this to 69 weeks. As of 2012, Perry has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year (Teenage Dream) and Record of the Year ("Firework"). She was named 2011's "Artist of the Year" by MTV. She has sold 37.6 million digital tracks in the United States and 11 million albums worldwide, and sold over 74.6 million digital tracks worldwide. Perry was a guest judge on the seventh series of The X Factor UK and the ninth season of American Idol. She has released fragrances "Purr" and "Meow". She ventured into film, voicing Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs and 3D biopic-concert film Katy Perry: Part of Me. Perry was married to British comedian Russell Brand from 2010 to 2012. In 2012, Perry was ranked at number fourteenth on Billboard's list of top moneymakers of 2011, grossing more than $11 million.

BET AWARDS 2012

The BET Awards were established in 2001 by the Black Entertainment Television network to celebrate African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment over the past year. The awards are presented annually, and they are broadcast live on BET. BET commissioned Artist/Sculptor and Hip Hop culture icon Carlos Mare139 Rodriguez to design the Award sculpture. Global promotion is provided by Mac & Diva Entertainment.

The inaugural ceremonies in 2001 were held at the Paris resort on the Las Vegas Strip. From 2002 to 2005, the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood hosted the ceremonies. From 2006 to 2012, the awards have been held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. BET Networks Executive Vice President of Specials Stephen Hill confirmed that BET Awards will move to the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live in 2013.

Executive of Specials Stephen Hill announced that the BET Awards would move to the Nokia Theater at L.A. Live in 2013. BET struck a deal with Anschutz Entertainment Group. BET Networks CEO Debra Lee presented this as a key opportunity for advertisers to expose its brands. BET Networks plans to expand the awards into a three-day destination festival called the "BET Awards Experience" and revealed a freshly inked deal with Anschutz Entertainment Group that will bring the show to the glitzy, $2.5-billion L.A. Live complex for 2013.It's an experiment that could prove a tipping point for the network. Though the show is routinely one of BET's highest rated programs — 2011's attracted 7.7 million viewers — it continues to be eclipsed by competing music specials including the American Music Awards on ABC andMTV's Video Music Awards. That could change if the network gives more camera time to the weekend's events.

"It allows us to take the show to the next level," said Debra Lee, chairman and chief executive of BET. "We are making more opportunities for advertisers and taking it to a level that can get more consumers involved."

The shift also strengthens the network's commitment to music, something that's been questioned in recent years as it has moved to more original programming, much like other Viacom-owned networks MTV and VH1.Moving the show from the Shrine to the more spacious and newer Nokia Theatre — there is roughly a 1,000 seat difference between the two — means the ceremony is now housed at the same venue used by the AMAs and the VMA's.Gabe Sobol, booking and sales manager for the Shrine, said the aging building has sometimes struggled to accommodate the show's growing production needs — a reason Lee said they made the switch from previous home the Dolby Theatre (formerly the Kodak).

"A lot of the infrastructure is from the 1920s(referring to the Shrine), which can make it very difficult. That can become a challenge," he said. "But buildings like this don't really exist anymore. Theaters now tend to be more functional as opposed to aesthetic … but it's what we have going for us. There's hardly another venue that has the look and the history this venue has."

Lee and Hill said the move was also motivated by growing ticket demand and the desire to tap into the amount of people who flock to the city for related events sprinkled all over the city.

The area surrounding the Shrine lacks the robust night life scene of L.A. Live, and Lee said the shift allows the network to play a bigger role in pre and post events.

"We talked to the people at L.A. Live before they opened the Nokia, before the Ritz and the Marriott opened so we've been having ongoing conversations with how to best utilize that space," she said. "There is such a demand for the tickets that the more access we can give our audience the closer they feel to us."

Hill said the plan is to have concerts, seminars and a free expo at the properties in L.A. Live's plaza including Staples Center, Conga Room and Club Nokia — monetizing the event by offering packages to the show, including hotel accommodations.

Asuransi

Asuransi adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk merujuk pada tindakan, sistem, atau bisnis dimana perlindungan finansial (atau ganti rugi secara finansial) untuk jiwa, properti, kesehatan dan lain sebagainya mendapatkan penggantian dari kejadian-kejadian yang tidak dapat diduga yang dapat terjadi seperti kematian, kehilangan, kerusakan atau sakit, dimana melibatkan pembayaran premi secara teratur dalam jangka waktu tertentu sebagai ganti polis yang menjamin perlindungan tersebut.

Istilah "diasuransikan" biasanya merujuk pada segala sesuatu yang mendapatkan perlindungan.

 Asuransi dalam Undang-Undang No.2 Th 1992 tentang usaha perasuransian adalah perjanjian antara dua pihak atau lebih, dengan mana pihak penanggung mengikatkan diri kepada tertanggung, dengan menerima premi asuransi, untuk memberikan penggantian kepada tertanggung karena kerugian, kerusakan atau kehilangan keuntungan yang diharapkan atau tanggung jawab hukum pihak ke tiga yang mungkin akan diderita tertanggung, yang timbul dari suatu peristiwa yang tidak pasti, atau memberikan suatu pembayaran yang didasarkan atas meninggal atau hidupnya seseorang yang dipertanggungkan.

Badan yang menyalurkan risiko disebut "tertanggung", dan badan yang menerima risiko disebut "penanggung". Perjanjian antara kedua badan ini disebut kebijakan: ini adalah sebuah kontrak legal yang menjelaskan setiap istilah dan kondisi yang dilindungi. Biaya yang dibayar oleh "tetanggung" kepada "penanggung" untuk risiko yang ditanggung disebut "premi". Ini biasanya ditentukan oleh "penanggung" untuk dana yang bisa diklaim di masa depan, biaya administratif, dan keuntungan.

Contohnya, seorang pasangan membeli rumah seharga Rp. 100 juta. Mengetahui bahwa kehilangan rumah mereka akan membawa mereka kepada kehancuran finansial, mereka mengambil perlindungan asuransi dalam bentuk kebijakan kepemilikan rumah. Kebijakan tersebut akan membayar penggantian atau perbaikan rumah mereka bila terjadi bencana. Perusahaan asuransi mengenai mereka premi sebesar Rp1 juta per tahun. Risiko kehilangan rumah telah disalurkan dari pemilik rumah ke perusahaan asuransi.

Definisi Asuransi menurut Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Dagang (KUHD), tentang asuransi atau pertanggungan seumurnya, Bab 9, Pasal 246:

"Asuransi atau Pertanggungan adalah suatu perjanjian dengan mana seorang penanggung mengikatkan diri kepada seorang tertanggung, dengan menerima suatu premi, untuk memberikan penggantian kepadanya karena suatu kerugian, kerusakan atau kehilangan keuntungan yang diharapkan, yang mungkin akan dideritanya karena suatu peristiwa yang tak tertentu.” ǍǍ

Penanggung menggunakan ilmu aktuaria untuk menghitung risiko yang mereka perkirakan. Ilmu aktuaria menggunakan matematika, terutama statistika dan probabilitas, yang dapat digunakan untuk melindungi risiko untuk memperkirakan klaim di kemudian hari dengan ketepatan yang dapat diandalkan.

Contohnya, banyak orang membeli kebijakan asuransi kepemilikan rumah dan kemudian mereka membayar premi kepada perusahaan asuransi. Bila kehilangan yang dilindungi terjadi, penanggung harus membayar klaim. Bagi beberapa tertanggung, keuntungan asuransi yang mereka terima jauh lebih besar dari uang yang mereka telah bayarkan kepada penanggung. Lainnya mungkin tidak membuat klaim. Kalau dirata-ratakan dari seluruh kebijakan yang dijual, total klaim yang dibayar keluar lebih rendah dibanding total premi yang dibayar kepada tertanggung, dengan perbedaannya adalah biaya dan keuntungan.
