Choose The Best Theme For A Birthday Party

A Birthday party for the child is almost always funny and also the best parties are full of great food, friends, cake, and plenty of activities for the children to enjoy. Be sure the activities you select are age appropriate so the children don't become frustrated or overwhelmed.

A birthday party theme is really a fun way to celebrate a special interest for you personally or the birthday person. Our adult birthday party supplies feature tableware kits, banners, along with other decorations in a variety of patterns and themes to create decorating quick and easy. You can also design your personal party based on one of our theme parties. A Madison Avenue theme is ideal for Mad Men fans while our Mustache theme is fun for men and women.


Cinderella party - If your tiny tot is a touch baby girl, then this is the best option you opt for. Dress your princess like Cinderella and obtain the tiered cake with lots of vanilla, strawberry and cherries over it. You are able to suggest the invited guests to decorate their kids in the dresses of prince and princess to be able to have a grand 'ballroom party' with children.

Clown party - It could be a laugh riot for those. All kids dressed like clowns would certainly give elders a reason to smile. Your child should be dressed with a big clown hat along with a big nose to give the proper clown look. You may also incorporate your comic ideas to make the invites and also the goodies bag. Even the cake can be created in the shape of a clown's face.

Disco party - This really is one of the most common themes of toddlers parties because it is very exciting for the parents to decorate their little ones in sparkling disco dress inspired through the 70's. You can give your kid a look associated with a famous disco dancer from the era and can also ask the other invited kids to decorate as per their choice. Illuminate the venue with the disco lights and provide an ambiance of the discotheque by playing some groovy music.

Beach party - Great for summers, this party is best suited for outdoors. Not necessary to go to a seaside, but you can give a beach turn to your terrace or garden. Place a baby swimming pool full of water on view area and create some sand dunes for additional exotic beach view. Ask the invited kids to decorate in beach wear and allow them to play with splashes of water.

New Ways Enable You To Enjoy Music

I remember the first cassette mixtape I made, the first CD I purchased, and the first mp3's I downloaded. In the past few years I also remember telling friends about Pandora, and later about a new service called Spotify. All those events changed the way I listened to music — at home, on the go, or while at work. Now I'm wondering if services like Songza, Vevo, and an innovative new album by Bluebrain are about to do that all over again.


Songza

This new music service is catching on like wildfire, and it's easy to see why. Songza takes all the hurt out of figuring out what to listen to by breaking things down into practical, easy-to-choose categories. The music concierge puts together a perpetual playlist based on your mood and time of day — songs for waking up and singing in the shower with, music without lyrics to read or study by, or mellow tunes to relax to after a long day. You're no longer stuck figuring out what band you want your radio based on, you just pick a style and let Songza's music experts handle the rest. Best of all this is all done ad-free through their website or free iPhone app.

Vevo HD

You may be too young to remember this, but a while back there was this television network called MTV. And all day, everyday, the TV station played what its name suggested: music videos! If you enjoyed finding and listening to new music in that format, then Vevo is your ticket. Accessible on the web or through an iPad app, Vevo is simply a huge collection of high quality music videos that you can search through to create your own personal playlists. They've even partnered with a few artists to provide exclusive HD content. I personally enjoy the Airplay feature of the app that'll let you stream videos to your Apple TV to give your next party some visual ambiance.

The National Mall by Bluebrain

Musical duo Bluebrain has really stepped out of the box to provide a whole new experience by releasing the first location-aware album. Designed for use within the bounds of Washington DC's National Mall, the downloadable iPhone app streams tunes from the album based on your GPS location. A walk up the steps of the Lincoln memorial treating you to a different melody than one you'd get as you walk along the edge of the Reflecting pool. The thinking behind this is pure genius, and it may not be long before all our music experiences are based on where we are, who we're with, and what time of day it is.

The Best Entertainment 2012

Actors and Actresses to watch
1. Elizabeth Olsen: The Olsen twins’ younger sister got a head start in 2011 with her impressive performance in “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and she’ll continue the momentum with “Liberal Arts,” written and directed by Josh Radnor. She’ll also appear in the horror flick “Silent House” (March 9) and paranormal thriller “Red Lights.”
2. Gina Carano: How does a mixed martial arts fighter end up as the lead in the Steven Soderbergh spy thriller, “Haywire”? She kicks ass, obviously.
3. Lily Collins: The spawn of “Sussudio” impresario Phil Collins already had her coming-out party in 2011 with roles in “Abduction” and “Priest.” This year the 22-year-old has a starring role in Tarsem Singh’s lighthearted take on the Snow White fairy tale in “Mirror Mirror” (March 16).
4. Andrea Riseborough: Thank Madonna for bringing this English Rose to the forefront in 2012. Riseborough will start off the year with the Madge-directed feature “W.E.” (Feb. 3). She’ll stay front of mind with IRA thriller “Shadow Dancer,” as well as “Disconnect,” co-starring “True Blood” babe Alexander Skarsgard.
5. Taylor Schilling: Though she may’ve been the lead in failed TV show “Mercy” and dead-on-arrival “Atlas Shrugged: Part One,” somebody in Hollywood must have faith in this 27-year-old in order to cast her opposite Zac Efron in the romantic drama “The Lucky One” (April 20). Schilling will also star in Ben Affleck-directed political thriller “Argo.”
6. Josh Hutcherson: This 19- year-old actor has been working steadily, but it’ll be the March 23 release of “The Hunger Games” that makes him a star. While we can’t promise he’ll be the next Robert Pattinson — RPatz will always have a special vampire lair in our hearts — the series’ rabid fan base will give Hutcherson a fast-pass to megastardom.
7. Michael Fassbender: We’re not going to hide our partiality to this 34-year-old Irish-German export. His upcoming spy flick, “Haywire” (Jan. 20), combined with all the awards season buzz he’s been getting for his performance in 2011’s “Shame” will propel Fassbender to A-List by the time his sci-fi film “Prometheus” is released on June 8.
8. Chris Diamantopoulos: We finally learned how to spell Galifianakis, so it’s about time another comedic actor with an impossibly lengthy Greek last name take the scene by storm. The “Up All Night” actor will soon star in “The Three Stooges” (April 13), in which he plays Moe, the only Stooge with a passable haircut.
9. Taylor Kitsch: The “Friday Night Lights” star appears in two huge movies this summer: the sci-fi epic “John Carter,” set on Mars, and “Battleship,” a live-action version of the popular board game.
10. Douglas Booth: Could the role of Romeo in the latest “Ro-meo and Juliet” turn Booth into another Leonardo DiCaprio? With a second starring role alongside Disney princess-turned-stoner Miley Cyrus in “LOL...,” well, we may have found our RPatz replace-ment after all.

Dreamworks Will Give Us Need For Speed Movie In The Future

Movies have been a necessary part of our lives, they may be also the best way to entain us. Until now, movies have developed so many years, and to satisfy our requirement, the technologies are always developing all the time. Now a Need for Speed movie is in the works. Dreamworks has acquired the movie rights to the franchise, and EA will produce along with John Gatins and Mark Sourian. Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) is attached to direct, and the project will be fast-tracked at DreamWorks with a target production start date for early next year, for a 2014 release.

I believe that we all know about Dreamworks on the earth, it can make our all kinds of dreams come true. This time, the speed film won't be based on a specific Need for Speed game, but is planned instead as a "fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise."

"I'm excited about getting back into the creative trenches with John and George Gatins and my partners at EA to bring to life an exhilarating script based on an epic video game that seems to have been made for the movies," said Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Chairman. "This is a big piece of business for DreamWorks and we are grateful to Frank Gibeau, Pat O'Brien, Kevin Maher and John and George for choosing us to deliver their goods."

"It's fantastic to be working with a team that shares not only our love of cars, but also our passion for creating blockbuster action experiences. This collaboration will be greatly enhanced with the team at DreamWorks -- which is a great home for the Need for Speed franchise," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. Added Pat O'Brien, Vice President of EA Entertainment: "Working with John and George to develop the script has truly been an outstanding experience."

I'm so torn on the idea of this movie. On the one hand, I'm a huge fan of 1970s car movies, but on the other, games based on video games are almost always terrible. I think it's a wise decision to not make the movie based on a specific game, though. Stories for video games and stories for movie are often two different things, so maybe this movie will actually be good. Let's hope it happens.

Which Actress Do You Want To See In The 65th Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet

Jane Fonda, Eva Longoria and Lana Del Rey were among the famous faces on the red carpet at the opening night gala of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
  
They and a host of other stars were on hand to see Moonrise Kingdom, the new film from US director Wes Anderson, launch the annual cinema showcase.
  
canne film festival 2012
Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Britain's Tilda Swinton joined other cast members at the movie's glitzy premiere.
  
The film is one of 22 in contention for Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or award.
  
Reactions to Anderson's latest have been broadly positive, with The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw saluting "a soufflé of strangeness [that] rises superbly".
  
The Telegraph's David Gritten was similarly effusive, describing it as "a mood elevator of a movie" and "an ideal opener" for this year's event.
  
Moonrise Kingdom was a suitable curtain-raiser for a festival in which US films and directors are heavily represented.
  
Speaking at a news conference in Cannes to launch Chinese Zodiac, Chan told reporters: "This will be my last big action movie."
  
The Hong Kong-born actor, 58, added: "The world is too violent now. I love fighting but I hate violence."
  
The film, due for release in December, is the third in Chan's Armour of God series.
  
The first film was released in 1987, with Chan playing the Indiana Jones-style character Asian Hawk.
  
"I want the audience to know I'm not just about fighting, also I can act. And so, day by day, year by year, I said, 'Right, I'm going to show you the real Jackie Chan.'"
  
Last year, he starred opposite Will Smith's son Jaden Smith in the remake of The Karate Kid, in the role of Smith's mentor Mr Miyagi.
  
The 65th edition of the Cannes Film Festival runs from 16 to 27 May 2012.
  
The great and good of the global film industry are gathered on the French Riviera for the annual event, which sees premieres from Wes Anderson, Ken Loach and David Cronenberg, amongst others.
  
The BBC's Kev Geoghegan is there, too, reporting on the red carpet glamour and behind-the-scenes deals at the festival.
  
Much comedy is provided by the supporting cast, in particular Gary Maitland as the sweetly daft Albert.
  
Roger Allam is perhaps the best-known actor, playing whisky dealer Thaddeus.
  
In truth, the film could have been made 10 years ago and the use of The Proclaimers' 500 Miles, though a personal favourite, grates a little as there are surely enough contemporary Scottish bands around who could have been used in the soundtrack.
  
Loach won the Palme d'Or in 2006 and it is unlikely that The Angel's Share will repeat that success.
  
But its light-hearted tone may lift its appeal for a mainstream audience.
