La Princesa Letizia deslumbra en rojo español

Apostando una vez más por el rojo español, Doña Letizia ha vuelto a acertar con el estilismo. Una deslumbrante Princesa de Asturias ha acompañado a su marido, el Príncipe Felipe, durante la cena de gala celebrada en el Palacio Real con motivo de la primera visita oficial a España como pareja del Príncipe Carlos de Inglaterra y su esposa.

Así, Doña Letizia ha vuelto a demostrar que la elegancia, la belleza y la sencillez son sus señas de identidad. Para la cita, la Princesa de Asturias ha apostado por un favorecedor vestido con cuerpo de guipur y falda de bambula que dejaba sus brazos al descubierto.

La Princesa de Asturias ha combinado este modelo, que ya vistió durante la visita de la presidenta de la India a España, con un juego de discretas joyas entre las que destacó un brillante brazalete colocado en el brazo izquierdo.

Sonriente ha posado junto al Príncipe Felipe, con esmoquin negro, camisa blanca y pajarita, el Príncipe Carlos, que también ha apostado por la pajarita y el traje oscuro, aunque, eso si, el inglés ha preferido utilizar una camisa de un tono sutilmente amarillento y un pañuelo en su solapa de color azul para conjuntarse con su acompañante.

Por su parte, la Duquesa de Cornualles, ha escogido para la ocasión un traje largo de gala en tono azul, de cortes rectos y geométricos, de cuello estilo barco, discretamente escotado y manga larga. Con la melena suelta y bien moldeada, Camilia ha optado por darle un toque en plata al conjunto, con bolso y gargantilla en este tono.

BRINDIS DE SOBREMESA

Los asistentes a la cena Real han coincidido en resaltar que el Príncipe de Asturias ha realizado un discurso cargado de guiños simpáticos y cariñosos para sus invitados, lo que no ha evitado que que el heredero a la corona española haya hecho un brindis sacando a relucir el siempre controvertido tema de Gibraltar.

"Hago votos para que nuestras autoridades avancen en la solución del contencioso histórico bilateral que aún sigue pendiente", ha afirmado el Príncipe Felipe que, en esta ocasión, ha abogado además por que España y Reino Unido exploren "nuevos ámbitos de colaboración en estos tiempos de crisis y desafíos.

Al margen de la alusión a Gibraltar, el Príncipe de Asturias ha destacado "la actual vitalidad" de las relaciones bilaterales entre los dos países y su "potencial de futuro".

Don Felipe ha subrayado que España y Reino Unido son "cuna de dos de las principales lenguas de comunicación internacional" y que ambas son "fruto del enorme intercambio de visitantes, profesionales, estudiantes, y turistas" así como conocidas por el deporte, especialmente por el fútbol.

En este punto, el Príncipe se ha tomado la licencia de hacer una pequeña broma y recordar que, aunque el deporte rey en nuestro país fue "inventado" en Reino Unido, recientemente -y en clara alusión a la victoria de España en el Mudial de Sudáfrica de 2010- España ha dado "alguna muestra de liderazgo internacional, aunque no sea esta cena el mejor marco para suscitar ciertas pasiones".

DiCaprio's career began with his appearance in several commercials and educational films. After being booted off the set of children's television series Romper Room for being disruptive at the age of five, DiCaprio followed his older stepbrother Adam Farrar into television commercials, landing an ad for Matchbox cars at 14. In 1990, he got his break on television when he was cast in the short-lived series based on the movie Parenthood. After Parenthood, DiCaprio had bit parts on several shows, including The New Lassie and Roseanne, as well as a brief stint on the soap opera Santa Barbara, playing the young Mason Capwell.

In 1997, DiCaprio starred in James Cameron's Titanic (1997), alongside Kate Winslet. Cast as twenty-year-old Jack Dawson, a penniless Wisconsin man who wins two tickets for the third-class on the fated RMS Titanic, DiCaprio initially refused to portray the character but was eventually encouraged to pursue the role by Cameron who strongly believed in his acting ability.  Against expectations, the film went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time (it was surpassed in 2010 by Cameron's directorial follow-up, Avatar, grossing more than US$1.843 billion in box-office receipts worldwide, and transformed DiCaprio into a commercial movie superstar, resulting in fan worship among teenage girls and young women in general that became known as "Leo-Mania."  He was nominated for most of the high-profile awards, including a second Golden Globe nomination.  Upon the success of the Titanic, DiCaprio stated in 2000: "I have no connection with me during that whole Titanic phenomenon and what my face became around the world [...] I'll never reach that state of popularity again, and I don't expect to. It's not something I'm going to try to achieve either.

DiCaprio appeared alongside friends Kevin Connolly and Tobey Maguire in the mostly improvised short film called Don's Plum as a favor to aspiring director R.D. Robb.  When Robb decided to expand the black-and-white film to feature length however, DiCaprio and Maguire obtained its blocking, arguing that they never intended to make it a theatrical release as it would have commercial value thanks to their stardom.  Nevertheless, the film eventually premiered at the 2001 Berlin International Film Festival.

DiCaprio's first film of 2002 was the crime-comedy Catch Me If You Can, based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr., who, before his 19th birthday, used his charm, confidence, and several different personas, to make millions in the 1960s writing bad checks. Directed by Steven Spielberg and co-starring Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken, the film was shot in 147 different locations in only 52 days, making it "the most adventurous, super-charged movie-making" DiCaprio had experienced yet.  Catch Me If You Can received favourable reviews and proved to be an international success, becoming DiCaprio's highest-grossing film since Titanic with a total of US$351.1 million worldwide. DiCaprio's performance in The Departed was applauded by critics and earned him a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor.  The same year, both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild nominated DiCaprio twice in the Best Actor category for both of his 2006 features, and in addition, DiCaprio earned his third Academy Award nomination for Blood Diamond.

Christian Bale

Christian Bale

Christian Charles Philip Bale was born 30 January 1974 in Wales to parents of English descent. His South African-born father, David Bale, was an entrepreneur, commercial pilot, and talent manager, and his mother, Jenny James, was a performer.  He is the youngest of four children. After leaving Britain in 1976, Bale spent his childhood in several countries, including Portugal and the United States. Settling for four years in Bournemouth and Henley-on-Thames, Bale was educated at Shiplake Church of England Primary School; the independent Dolphin School, Berkshire; and at Bournemouth School. He played rugby. Bale has described his childhood, with respect to his mother being in the circus, as "interesting". He recalled his first kiss was with an acrobat named Barta. Best known for his roles in American films, Bale has starred in both big budget Hollywood films and the smaller projects from independent producers and art houses.

As a child, he trained in ballet and guitar.  His sister Louise's work in theatre also influenced his decision to become an actor. Bale's father was very supportive of his son's acting, resigning from his job as a commercial pilot to travel and manage Bale's burgeoning career. The elder Bale later married feminist icon Gloria Steinem. He passed away, at age 62, on 30 December 2003 from brain lymphoma.

From 2002 to 2003, Bale starred in three feature films. Laurel Canyon (2002) was generally well received by critics.  This film also marked the second time he worked with actress Kate Beckinsale, his costar in Prince of Jutland (1994). Critics generally focused on star Frances McDormand's performance over the rest of the cast.  Reign of Fire was Bale's first action vehicle and had, compared to all his previous work, an immense budget estimated at US$ 95,000,000. Bale entered into negotiations about starring in the film with reservations, but director Rob Bowman convinced him to take the lead role. Bale starred as Quinn Abercromby opposite Matthew McConaughey's Denton Van Zan. Bale and McConaughey trained for their respective roles by boxing and working out. It was reported that Bale had previously auditioned for the role of Robin in Batman Forever (1995) and later Batman and Robin (1997), but lost out to Chris O'Donnell. However, this rumor was later dispelled by Bale himself in a magazine interview in 2008.  In 2004, after completing filming for The Machinist, Bale won the coveted role of Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, a reboot of the Batman film series. Bale beat out Jake Gyllenhaal, the closest competition for the role. Still fresh off The Machinist, it became necessary for Bale to bulk up to match Batman's muscular physique. He was given a deadline of six months to do this. Bale recalled it as far from a simple accomplishment: "...when it actually came to building muscle, I was useless. I couldn't do one push up the first day. All of the muscles were gone, so I had a real tough time rebuilding all of that."  With the help of a personal trainer, Bale succeeded in meeting the deadline, gaining a total of 100 lb (45 kg) in six months. He went from about 130 lbs to 230 lbs.

He then discovered that he had actually gained more weight than the director desired, and dropped his weight to 190 lbs by the time filming began. On 29 January 2000, Bale married Sandra "Sibi" Blažić (born 1970), a former model, make-up artist and personal assistant to Winona Ryder; the couples have a daughter, Emmeline, who was born on 27 March 2005 in Santa Monica, California.  Since 1992, Bale has resided in Los Angeles. Bale has three elder sisters – Erin Bale, a musician; Sharon Bale.

During an interview promoting his 2009 film Public Enemies Bale said he is a video game fan, specifically of the Metal Gear Solid series. When questioned if he was in the running to play Solid Snake, Bale stated that he prefers to devote his spare time to constructive things and dislikes discussing his personal life .Bale has stated that he is a big fan of late comedian Chris Farley and of Farley's film Beverly Hills Ninja.

While filming Dark Angel in January 2000, Alba began a three year relationship with her co-star Michael Weatherly, which caused controversy due to their twelve year age gap.  Weatherly proposed to Alba on her twentieth birthday, which she accepted.  In August 2003, Alba and Weatherly announced that they'd ended their relationship. In July 2007, Alba spoke out about the break up, saying "I don't know [why I got engaged]. I was a virgin. He was 12 years older than me. I thought he knew better. My parents weren't happy. They're really religious. They believe God wouldn't allow the Bible to be written if it wasn't what they are supposed to believe. I'm completely different."  Alba had at one time said she envisioned a much older man as her ideal partner, making references to Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, and Michael Caine. She said, Alba was raised as a Catholic  throughout her teenage years, but left the church after four years because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining: "Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman". Alba also had objections to the church's condemnations of premarital sex and homosexuality, and the lack of strong female role models in the Bible, explaining "I thought it was a nice guide, but it certainly wasn't how I was going to live my life.
