What happens when you combine the talents of Russia's ballet bad boy Sergei Polunin, Irish gospel luminary Hozier and photography pop wizard David LaChapelle? Apparently, a whole lot of angsty, sexy, beautiful dancing ensues.
LaChapelle directed the new visual interpretation of the Grammy-nominated hit, starring British Royal Ballet vet Polunin performing choreography by Jade Hale-Christofi. The emotive dancer, donning only nude tights and a cluster of tattoos, sautés, tombés and pirouettes through an illuminated empty space. The white room clashes with the dark energy of the bluesy song, making Polunin's stunning dance moves resemble some kind of spiritual possession.
Silly me, I thought it was the Year of the Sheep but OK I'm
no expert although, what I think Hannah Davis meant to say was that it's the
Year of the Hooha...
Model Hannah Davis visitsTODAYto talk about landing the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover, dubbing her look as “the year of the torso.” She says that the TODAY show concealing the lower part of the cover on air makes it “look a lot naughtier than it really is.”
My first reaction to this was shit, time to hit the gym quickly followed by who's her Esthetician cause I need their #
Jacob's LEGOs the same again!
Introducing aLEGO version of the
Fifty Shades of Grey trailer created by stop-motion animators Antonio and
Andrea Toscano.
Unlike their previous LEGO trailers for films like Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel, this one has generated a lot of
social media chatter and not in a good way.
Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think, should they have
stayed 50 feet away from tying 50 Shades to 50 Bricks?
In response
to parental backlash, Antonio even posted a disclaimer on YouTube but, just like Anastasia, the comments just keep on coming (sorry had to go there)
"Please
note this: Lego Group is not even remotely involved in this video, except for
the fact that I have bought a lot of their products during my life. Universal
Picture is not involved in this, this video is not at all part of a promotional
campaign for the movie, I am not getting any money for it and I don't care at
all for this movie to be an audience success or not. This video and all the
others on this channel are just made for fun in our free time, whether they
involve Tony Stark or Christian Grey. If you come here looking for fun, maybe
you can find some. Thanks for enjoying it. I'm sorry I haven't time for
answering all the disappointed comments, but please just try to be polite when
sharing your opinion, thanks."
Personally, after
all of the casting hype, not a fan of who they settled on to play Christian and
Anastasia especially, Dakota Johnson and
so, prefer the creativity & fun of Fifty Shades of Bricks and Beyonce's
"Crazy in Love" bellowing in the background doesn't suck either.
Here’s the
original trailer for comparison...
50 Shades of Grey, the real one, premieres Feb 13, who's going?
