American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer, and actress, Ms. Lauryn Hill Celebrates her 41st Birthday today!

Happy Birthday Lauryn
Team My Publicist

Back in the early '90s, Hill started out her career as an actress. After landing a recurring role on the television soap opera, As the World Turns, she then worked her way to a starring role in the 1993 film, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. Before long, though, Hill decided to pursue music, and she and rapper Pras Michel formed a hip hop group, later known as the Fugees.

Today, the multi-talented artist turns 41. In celebration of Hill's major success as an artist and incredibly eclectic music career, we rounded up her most memorable music videos in honor of her birthday, below.


1. Lauryn Hill—"Doo-Wop (That Thing)" (1998)
"Doo Wop (That Thing)" is the first single from Hill's first solo album,The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. This song, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, put Hill on the map as a solo artist. To this day, the moment it comes on the radio, we're all still singing along.
2. The Fugees—"Ready or Not" (1996)
"Ready or Not" is from Hill's days as a member of hip-hop group the Fugees. The soulful single is from their second studio album The Score and is a fan favorite. In fact, one of the group's biggest fans, President Obama, had listed "Ready or Not" as his favorite song back when he was campaigning for president in 2008. 
3. Lauryn Hill—"Ex-Factor" (1998) 
This heartfelt song is the second single from Hill's debut solo album. In the music video (above), a very young-looking Hill is first seen wearing a crisp, white outfit before changing into classy evening wear for some swanky club scenes that go along with the video's storyline.
4. Lauryn Hill—"Everything Is Everything" (1998)
This soulful tune, which is the third and final single on the singer's first solo album, inspired an innovative, Grammy-nominated music video (shown above). In it, cutting-edge special effects show New York City as a giant vinyl record on a turntable. As for the song's lyrics, Hill sings about the struggle within black communities in urban America.
5. Fugees—"Fu-Gee-La" (1995)
This reggae-inspired song is one of the Fugee's most popular singles. Released in 1995, the song features Hill rapping and singing the chorus on the track. In the music video (above), each member of the group has their own particular role in a robbery-themed story concept filmed in Jamaica.
6. Fugees—"Vocab" (1994)
"Vocab" is a real throwback for the Fugees. This groovy song is the third single from the group's debut album,Blunted on Reality. It was recorded in 1992, but not released until 1994.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
