Britney Spears in Depression

Britney Spears' become a gold mine for the paparazzi after the second release from the psych ward, the famous pop musical star of America was worried and nervous right now. Every tabloid tells her situation, this make psychologies effect to her mind. Her recording career and her life in general, the revenue generated from all things Britney brought in up to $120 million in the past year. But now that Britney is staying home, is the business of Britney in a recession?

"Since her father has her under his control, we certainly haven't seen the number of photos that we used to see coming in of Britney," X-17 co-owner Brandy Navarre told Access Hollywood.

"The subject of the photo is just not as interesting as it once was, so the prices do go down." X-17 saw a 10 percent increase in overall profits with the help of exclusive photos like bald Britney, which made them a half-million dollars.

Now, with the pop star's recent cleaned-up behavior, the amount of Britney pictures are way down - from more than 1,000 a day to a couple hundred, forcing the photo agency to change focus. "It's a different game now," Navarre explained. "It's a different challenge. We're moving on to other celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Jamie Lynn Spears. We've moved on to Britney's sister." And Spears' gated community is empty these days. The main road once littered with paparazzi is a much different scene now that Britney's dad, Jamie, has taken charge.

"After he took over the conservator ship, it got really, really slow for us," Britney's trusted paparazzo friend Felipe said. He was scheduled to follow Britney daily, from 4 PM to 4 AM, but has since undergone a dramatic shift change.

"She's not going out at night as much as she used to … you know I started working the daytime between 11 AM to 11 PM," he said. OK! magazine features editor Rob Chilton has noticed the change in his magazine's focus, as well. As for Us Weekly, Britney was only on the cover once in the last six weeks, a far cry from last September through mid-February.

Then, around the time of her custody battle and hospitalizations, Britney was Us Weekly's hot topic in 23 out of 24 issues. And with no Britney scandal to report, this week's tabs feature Britney-free covers. But there is proof that Spears still sells. TV Guide put "Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys-Meyers on the cover of the new issue mailed to subscribers, but chose to put Britney on the cover of the issue available on newsstands in an attempt to boost sales. Is the Britney music carrier will end here, we just wait and see what happen next. Paparazzi with very pleasure tell to us all about this story of famous music star.

She is most commonly referred to as simply, Madonna. She is known for the use of sexual, social and religious themes in her work and has been nicknamed the "Material Girl" and "Queen Of Pop" by the media.

After being convinced by her ballet teacher, she left the University of Michigan at the end of her sophomore year, in 1977, and moved to New York City to pursue a dance career. Madonna had little money and for some time lived in squalor, working at Dunkin' Donuts and with modern dance troupes.

RIAA named her the Best Selling Female Rock Artist of the twentieth century. On March 10, 2008, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Violin

The violin, the most commonly used member of the modern string family, is the highest-sounding instrument of the group. Its four strings are stretched over a high, arched bridge that permits the playing of one or two strings at a time, as well as the nearly simultaneous sounding of three of four as chords. The overall length of the violin average about 60 cm (23.5 in), whereas the sounding length of the strings, from bridge to the nut at the end of the fingerboard, is about 32 cm (12,75 in).

The instrument is held on the left side of the body, while the right hand holds the bow. The wider end of the instrument place between the player’s left shoulder and chin, while the left hand encircles its neck, the fingers stopping the strings to produce the various pitches. Sound is produced by drawing the bow across the strings to make them vibrate, or by plucking the strings (pizzicato). The range of the violin extends from G, the lowest open string, upward nearly four octave. Introduced into Europe at a time when the viol was the commonest stringed instrument, this descendant of the medieval fiddle was considered more suitable for dance music and rustic merrymaking than for the church or nobleman’s chamber. By the beginning of the 17th century, Giovanni Gabriell and Claudio Monteverdi were using the violin in their instrument ensembles, and general acceptance of the instrument followed shortly thereafter.

The earliest important center of violin making was Bescia, where Gaspara da Salo (1540-1609) and Giovanni Paolo Maggini (1581-1630) worked. Cremona became the center of manufacture when the instruments of Amati family, and later those of the Stradivari family). The Italian master builders of the 17th and early 18th centuries are esteemed above all others, but makers from other areas achieved high recognition, among them the Tyrolese brothers, Jacob and Markus Stainer, the Klotz family in Bavaria, where the Klotzes had worked, but also a decline in quality. There the custom originated of putting labels bearing the names of famous makers, mostly Italian, into instruments, not to deceive buyers, but to identify the style of instruments with facsimile labels sometimes mistakenly believe that they have an undiscovered masterpiece an all-but-impossible dream. Excellent violin makers exist in the United States, but the old instruments posses a special aura that is prized by performers. Because the value of old instruments increases with time, the best of them are owned and treasured by professionals or housed in special collections.

Lute

Lute a generic name for stringed instruments composed of a body and of a neck that serves are a handle and holds strings streached across the instrument, is also the specific name of the European short-necked instrument of the Renaissance, for which a vast and significant musical literature was composed in the 16th and 17th centuries. Appearing early in antiquity, the lute had little impact on Europe until the late Middle Age. By 1500 the classic lute was formed with six courses of strings stretching across its pear-shaped body and a fretted fin-gerboard to a pegbox tilted back at a sharp angle. About 1600, in order to adapt to new musical styles, an enlarge range was obtained by additional low strings, usually unstopped and suspended from a separate and higher pegbox (theorbo and chittarone), and tunings were often altered. By the end of the baroque period (about 1750), the lute was largely abandoned.

Few unaltered historic instruments remain, but many printed volumes of lute tablature testify to the lute's popularity and the high level of skill demanded of its performers. The recent revival of old music has produced many fine modern makers and players. The delicacy and finely shaded tone of the lute make it essentially an instrument for intimate performance.

Lyra

Lyra (the Harp) is a small but important norterm constellation located between Hercules and Cygnus. Its brightest star, Vega (magnitude 0.04), is the fifth brightest in the heavens. Located 26 light-years from the Sun, Vega will be the pole star in about 12,000 years because of the precession of the Earth's axis. The second-brightest star, Sheliak (from the Arabic al-shlyad, meaning "harp"), is an eclipsing binary. Another object in the constellation, Epsilon lyrae, is resolvable, with keen eyesight or binocular, into two stars; a telescope reveals that each of them in turn is double. Other important objects include the Ring Nebula in Lyra (M 57, or NGC 6720) a planetary nebula shaped like an elliptical smoke ring, and the prototype RR Lyrae variable star.
