DOWNLOAD EBOOKHace años que los entendidos venían pronosticando el exitoso crossover de Shakira. La cantante firmó su primer contrato discográfico a los trece años, grabó su segundo álbum a los quince y actuó en una telenovela popular en su Colombia natal. Tenía solamente diecinueve años cuando su tercer álbum, Pies descalzos, la convirtió en la artista de mayor venta en Latinoamérica. Si bien su siguiente álbum, Dónde están los ladrones?, ganó ocho discos de platino en Estados Unidos, no fue hasta su actuación electrizante en la primera entrega de los Premios Grammy Latinos que llamó la atención de todo el país. Aunque el éxito le llegó a una edad tan temprana, a los veinticuatro años Shakira tiene los pies firmes sobre la tierra y rechaza los estereotipos que rodean a las estrellas de rock. Ella es una católica devota, vive con sus padres y cuando no está grabando o de gira prefiere pasar el tiempo con su familia. Esta rockera es una de las pocas estrellas que combinan talento, carisma y sensibilidad, y que además saben muy bien lo que quieren. Para la cantante más fascinante de América Latina desde Ricky Martin, las posibilidades son ilimitadas. Para los millones de personas que ya compran sus discos, Shakira representa la voz de la nueva generación.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy yes had a cost before and after receiving him in my life. I thought I was cursed at some point because it was really difficult being "me." I had been through enough hell and surely kept up enough hell to know that it was time to try to do life right. I had mastered the street life, hood life, and a few other things that I will share later in this book, but I was tired. For once in my life, I was really ready and confident to sell out against everything I once knew for a new mind and a new lifestyle. I didn't understand the struggle I had to endure, the hatred I had to face, the betrayal I would experience, and all the internal battles I went through that nobody knew about but me. I was under attack from the moment I was conceived, and although God had a plan for my life, so did the enemy. God wanted to lead me into an abundant life, but the Satan wanted me to live a life less than I deserved. He was intimidated by me before I could even walk or talk. However, what I thought was happening against me, God was preparing to use it for me. My yes had a cost before and after receiving him in my life. I thought I was cursed at some point because it was really difficult being "me." I had been through enough hell and surely kept up enough hell to know that it was time to try to do life right. I had mastered the street life, hood life, and a few other things that I will share later in this book, but I was tired.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn American Rebel, bestselling author and acclaimed film historian Marc Eliot examines the ever-exciting, often-tumultuous arc of Clint Eastwood's life and career. As a Hollywood icon, Clint Eastwood--one of film's greatest living legends--represents some of the finest cinematic achievements in the history of American cinema. Eliot writes with unflinching candor about Eastwood's highs and lows, his artistic successes and failures, and the fascinating, complex relationship between his life and his craft. Eliot's prodigious research reveals how a college dropout and unambitious playboy rose to fame as Hollywood's "sexy rebel," eventually and against all odds becoming a star in the Academy pantheon as a multiple Oscar winner. Spanning decades, American Rebel covers the best of Eastwood's oeuvre, films that have fast become American classics: Fistful of Dollars, Dirty Harry, Unforgiven, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino. Filled with remarkable insights into Eastwood's personal life and public work, American Rebel is highly entertaining and the most complete biography of one of Hollywood's truly respected and beloved stars–-an actor who, despite being the Man with No Name, has left his indelible mark on the world of motion pictures.
