The political vision of the week ...
... ... Udo Lindenberg had: "Imagine: Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Lady Gaga and Udo Lindenberg meet at night and negotiate world peace," said the musician the editorial network Germany. A world ruled by rock singers would be better, according to Lindenberg. The 72-year-old added that he felt too young for politics. In addition, collide a political career with his biorhythm as a "nightingale". Nevertheless, he did not exclude the office of Federal President.
Udo for President
Moving from the musical to the political stage - Udo Lindenberg can not imagine that.
At the age of 72, he still feels a bit too young, said the singer in an interview with the editorial network Germany.
"Adenauer was also around 90," said Lindenberg in it. He thinks he has to "reach". Of course he did not mean that seriously.
"I'm very interested in politics, but you have to focus very much on this job and put the music behind," said the singer. Of course, I can not do that. "
Should he one day become German President, he wishes that other countries follow suit.
"Imagine: Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Lady Gaga and Udo Lindenberg meet at night and negotiate world peace," Lindenberg said. "A world ruled by rock singers would be a better one."
The confession of fear of the week ...
... ... came from Courteney Cox. The actress wanted to celebrate her 50th birthday last week with her colleague Jennifer Aniston. With other friends a trip to Mexico was planned. But shortly after the machine was lifted, there was an unfortunate incident: The plane lost a tire at the start.
"A loud bang"
To celebrate her 50th birthday, Jennifer Aniston (r.) Wanted to fly with friends to the west coast of Mexico. Because the actress' private jet had lost a wheel after take-off, the plane had to make an emergency landing. Courteney Cox (l.) Was also on board
The actress, pictured here on the right, has now revealed in an interview what happened on board. "I have absolutely no fear of flying, my dad was a pilot, but I was very scared when we heard a loud bang after the start," Cox said in the celebrity magazine "Extra".
"Fortunately," the actress continued, "there were two wheels on each side and two on each side." Afterwards, the girlfriends had been in the air for at least four hours. "We were just thinking about how the landing would be," says Cox. According to the actress, however, the landing was then "smoothly".
While the private jet circled in the air, Cox contacted her 14-year-old daughter Coco and her husband Johnny McDaid. "I wrote Coco a short text, 'I love you', but I did not reveal why I did that." On the other hand, she told her husband exactly what had happened. After landing, the two phoned.
Aniston (r.) And Cox (l.) Have been good friends for a long time. The two actresses know each other from their time together on the TV sitcom "Friends".
Aniston (2nd from left) turned 50 on February 11th. On the occasion of her birthday, she invited her best friends to the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles. Then it went with friends to Mexico. Despite the incident, the journey was continued.
"I have absolutely no fear of flying, my dad was a pilot, but I was very scared when we heard a loud bang after the start," Cox told the celebrity magazine "Extra". The terror was short-lived for the tour group, the journey longer. For four hours the pilot flew in a circle to burn enough fuel for a safe stopover. Then he landed again not far from Los Angeles, and the birthday group went on another plane to Mexico.
The love confession of the week ...
... delivers Anna Loos. The actress apparently loves her husband Jan Josef Liefers so much that she wishes him to live longer than her. Her relationship life was "not just pink cotton candy," said the 48-year-old. "Sure, it bangs, like any other couple." Her husband likes her humor best. For the future, she wishes to be happy old and make great films. "And in any case, I wish Jani survived me."
"Not just pink cotton candy"
They share a common life and the same profession: the actor couple Anna Loos and Jan Josef Liefers is married for many years - and a life without her husband is unthinkable for the 48-year-old, Loos said the magazine "Gala".
Also, her life was "not just pink cotton candy," she said. "Sure, it bangs, like any other couple." Nevertheless, the two could surprise each other again and again. "I can not imagine a life without Jani," said Loos.
She likes the humor of her husband. For the future, she wishes to be happy old and make great films. "And in any case, I wish Jani survived me." Anna Loos and Jan Josef Liefers are married since 2004. The couple has two daughters.
Liefers spoke about the topic of death in an interview with the TV magazine "Hörzu" a few months ago. "It does not have to be on stage, but to be torn out of the colorful life without any announcement would be good," said the 54-year-old. "Even if it's not easy for the others, Peng - and out!"
However, he is better known for his role as forensic physician Karl-Friedrich Boerne in the "Tatort" Münster.
The key question is: "What would you do differently if the end of your life is announced?" Liefers himself had been busy when his father got cancer and eventually died.
The love-out of the week ...
... comes from the house of Lady Gaga. A spokeswoman confirmed speculation that the 32-year-old and her fiancé have separated. Details of the separation were not known. Rumors of a relationship crisis came up a few days ago. Lady Gaga appeared on the 10th of February without Christian Carino at the Grammy Awards. "It just did not work, relationships sometimes end," People magazine quoted an unspecified source. The separation from the 49-year-old talent manager is already "a bit" ago, there is "no long, dramatic story."
Separation instead of wedding
Lady Gaga: For the second time in three years, an engagement of the pop star failed.
Lady Gaga and Christian Carino have separated. This was confirmed by a speaker of the singer and actress. Details about the end of the relationship were not known.
"It just did not work, relationships sometimes end," People magazine quoted an unspecified source. The separation is already "a bit ago", there is "no long, dramatic story".
The 32-year-old had made her engagement with talent manager Carino public in October 2018. She and the 49-year-old had already been described by People in February 2017 as a couple.
He was at her side when the singer was in Houston, the halftime show at the Super Bowl, the final of the football professional league NFL, denied.
Since then, they have been photographing together more often - like here in New York in June.
Lady Gaga was previously engaged to actor Taylor Kinney, the relationship broke apart in the summer of 2016.
Lady Gaga recently got a big tattoo based on the famous Edith Piaf song "La vie en rose".
"My spinal cord is now a rose," wrote the 32-year-old with a greeting for Valentine's Day to an Instagram photo of her bare back with a graceful tattoo. A rose petal adorns her neck, the long stem with the words "La vie en rose" reaches to her waist.
The song plays an important role in Lady Gaga's movie "A Star is Born".
In it she plays an aspiring singer who ...
... falls in love with an alcoholic country star (Bradley Cooper).
Lady Gaga recently won two Grammy trophies for her song "Shallow" from the movie "A Star is Born".
At the upcoming Academy Awards she has chances to win the trophy for the best song. In addition, she was nominated for Best Actress.
The dream of the week ...
... has Lindsey Vonn. After her resignation from alpine skiing she hopes for a professional restart - in the film industry. "I definitely want to try that out, I'm already working on a movie as a producer," said the American at the Laureus Awards in Monaco. First, she plans to take acting lessons, said the 34-year-old. "And then it will show how good I am."
Dream of acting career
Lindsey Vonn does not want to retire from the public even after the end of her career. Vonn has already accompanied a film as a producer, but in future she also wants to be in front of the camera herself.
"I definitely want to try that out, I'm already working on a movie as a producer," said the American at the event in Monaco. Boris Becker was also there.
Previously, the American had brought bronze on her last descent. And her career end announced.
Vonn was always marked by immense ambition. Early on, she moved, driven by her father Alan Kildow, in the well-known ski resort Vail in Colorado to have the best training conditions.
In the course of her sports career Vonn then won 82 World Cup victories and also Olympic gold.
Nevertheless, it did not always run smoothly for Vonn. Because of some serious injuries Vonn missed many competitions - even the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014.
For the time after the sports career Vonn is apparently afraid of boredom: "I wake up and think to myself: I do not have to train today, so what do I do?"
Even before their last competitions Vonn prepared for the time after the career. In preparation for a possible start as an entrepreneur, Vonn visited the New York Stock Exchange in early 2018.
The forced break of the week ...
... Ozzy Osbourne intervenes. Actually, the 70-year-old should continue his tour. But doctors have ordered him rest. Her husband has a pneumonia, said Sharon Osbourne via Twitter. For six weeks he should stay home and recover. Osbourne fans must now be patient: Due to the illness, concerts in Australia, New Zealand and Japan have been canceled.
From the life of a rock star
Ozzy Osbourne has pneumonia - and therefore canceled concerts in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. "Ozzy has recently developed pneumonia and spent some time in the hospital, and he's got the worst of it," his wife Sharon Osbourne is quoted as saying in a short note posted on the rock star's Twitter channel this morning. "His doctors advised him to stay home and recover for a full six weeks."
The 70-year-old had already postponed his planned European tour at the end of January. Affected are also five concerts in Germany and Switzerland. Among others, performances in Munich (13.2.), Frankfurt (15.2.), Hamburg (17.2.) And Berlin (19.2.) Were planned.
For half a century Ozzy Osbourne entertains his fans not only with his unmistakable voice, but also with many macabre legends: First as a lead singer for the cult band Black Sabbath, then as a solo artist.
Osbourne has been sober for six years now, does not smoke anymore and does sports. Now the Brit celebrates his 70th birthday. He told the Guardian, "I really do not know what 70-year-olds should do, so I'm just doing my own thing."
The Civil War - actually John Michael Osbourne - grew up in a family of eight in the working-class district of Aston in Birmingham. At 15, he left school and worked in a slaughterhouse and car factory before he became criminal. When a robbery went wrong, he spent six weeks in prison.
Fortunately, the Beatles inspired him: when he heard "She Loves You" on the radio, he decided to become a rock star. A few years later, he teamed up with schoolmate and guitarist Tony Iommi and friends for later cult band Black Sabbath. But in 1979, the band fired him because of his excesses: There is hardly a drug he was not dependent on, including heroin. His first wife - with whom he has three children - threw him out and divorced in 1982.
In the same year he married the daughter of Black Sabbath manager Don Arden. "Sharon was born into the business, you can not smuggle her past because she just says, 'Damn, I know what you're up to.'" She took his career and has been the dominant factor in his life ever since.
Her marriage has come through quite a bit: Osbourne's public affair with a barber two years ago, Sharon's cancer, several accidents and his decades-long struggle with addiction. He confessed to the music magazine "Rolling Stone", "I was less a father than an additional delinquent child for my wife." At the birthday party of his six-year-old daughter Aimee he drank so much vodka that he tried in stupor to strangle Sharon. He woke up in a prison cell and could not remember anything.
In 2013, Black Sabbath returned to the top of the charts with comeback record "13" and Osbourne in front, before saying goodbye to their fans in 2016 and 2017 with their "The End Tour".
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne: He sold a total of 100 million records and, with his no less crazy family in the award-winning documentary series "The Osbournes" the MTV record audience numbers.
Osbourne does not want to be on the road for more than four to six weeks at a time, following his current farewell tour "No More Tours II," to give his grandchildren more time. But he does not want to quit, "It's not a job, it's chuckling, you know?", He confided to The Times: "I work a few hours a day, traveling around the plane, I have a good time with the band. "
The health awareness of the week ... ...
... embodies Elle Macpherson. The model, who made his career as "The Body", will be the star guest of the entrepreneur Richard "Mörtel" Lugner at the Vienna Opera Ball. This is not easy - partly because of the menu. Macpherson has reported concerns over the food selection, Lugner said. Too unhealthy. Chef Toni Mörwald promptly designed a vegan menu. Since the remaining problems should also be clarified.
No beef fillet for "The Body"
Because of her impeccable figure, Elle Macpherson made a career as "The Body". Her body seems so important to the 54-year-old that she does not accept every dish on her plate.
Richard "Mörtel" Lugner's star guest has failed the menu proposal for the Vienna Opera Ball. "She wants to eat healthily and the proposed menu does not meet the requirements for healthy eating," said the 86-year-old entrepreneur.
The Austrian chef Toni Mörwald had put together a menu including tuna belly, beef tenderloin and medlar with champagne and meringue. Including wine accompaniment, the menu should cost 394 euros. But for Macperson this menu was out of the question.
The Austrian news agency APA Lugner said that the model is vegan. "She means that she stays beautiful," said the master builder.
A few days ago, Lugner had revealed that negotiations with Macpherson and her media agency were very difficult. Actually, the 86-year-old had planned to bring two celebrities to the ball on February 28 this year. But he had to unload the second star again.
Last year, the entrepreneur appeared with ("The Weapons of Women") Melanie Griffith, the daughter of Hitchcock's muse Tippi Hedren.
Lugner has been hiring a celebrity for around 25 years to accompany him to the opera ball for a fee.
Goldie Hawn, here on a visit to New York's Carnegie Hall 2015: The 71-year-old US actress appeared in 2017 alongside the builder in Vienna.
Previously, US actress Brooke Shields was Lugner's star guest. The 85-year-old Lugner has been paying celebrity women for a quarter of a century to accompany him on the red carpet at the Opera Ball.
Shields was known in 1980 with the movie "The Blue Lagoon". In the late nineties she was married to tennis star Andre Agassi.
In 2015, Lugner had invited the model Elisabetta Canalis. The Italian presenter is the ex-girlfriend of Hollywood star George Clooney.
"Mortar" Lugner divorced in November 2016 from his German wife Cathy Schmitz. Both had married in August 2014, the photo is from the then celebration on Lake Wörthersee.
In 2014, Lugner had invited US starlet Kim Kardashian. The appearance with the reality TV size was disappointing for "mortar" however.
After barely two hours at Austria's most important social event Kardashian left the ball annoyed.
In Austria, the Vienna Opera Ball is one of the major social events every year.
Gina Lollobrigida: The Italian film diva, here in Moscow in 2003, was Lugner's star guest in 2013.
In 2013, the contractor also took Oscar winner Mira Sorvino to the company show.
Sorvino - photographed here in France in 2009 - was an "insanely clever and interested woman" and "very, very nice", Lugner said back then.
Every year, Lugner makes regular headlines with his more or less famous accompaniments, which he usually pays for participation: in 2012 he was accompanied by Brigitte Nielsen.
In 2011 he sparked a scandal with Karima el-Marough aka Ruby, who became famous in the sex scandal surrounding Italy's ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
He put a lively dance on the floor with Ruby.
Lugner whirled Ruby neatly around.
The contractor seemed to have a great time. The opera ball organizers, however, are not always enthusiastic about his company.
Paris Hilton was guest in Lugners Lodge in 2007.
In 2003 "Mortar" with Pamela Anderson appeared at the Opera Ball.
