EARLY LIFE AND FAMILY
Bell was born and raised in Huntington Woods, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. She is the daughter of Tom Bell, a TV news director, and Lorelei "Lori" Bell, a registered nurse. Bell is of Polish and Scottish descent. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, and she has two half sisters, Sara and Jody, from her father's second marriage. Bell has a lazy eye which affects her right eye. She inherited it from her mother, who had it corrected as a child. Bell claims that if she does not get enough sleep, it furthers the ailment. She nicknames her right eye "Wonky".
At the age of four, Bell claimed she did not like her first name and opted to change it to "Smurfette" after the character in the The Smurfs. However, her mother convinced Bell to go by her middle name of Anne instead; she used the name Annie until high school. She attended Burton Elementary school in Huntington Woods where she studied singing and tap dancing.
Just before her freshman year of high school, Bell's parents decided to pull her from the public school system. She then attended Shrine Catholic High School in nearby Royal Oak, where she took part in the drama and music club. During her time at the school, she won the starring role in the school's 1997 (14 years ago) production of The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy Gale and also appeared in productions of Fiddler on the Roof (1995, 16 years ago), Lady Be Good (1996, 15 years ago), and Li'l Abner (1998, 13 years ago). In 1998 (13 years ago), the year she graduated, Bell was named the yearbook's "Best Looking Girl" by senior class vote.
When Bell was 17, her best friend Jenny DeRita, whom she met at age 11 during a Detroit community theater production, was killed in an automobile accident. Bell said that it was "both the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me....Once you learn not to take people for granted, you live a lot happier life."
Shortly after her high school graduation, Bell moved to New York and attended the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, majoring in musical theater. In 2001 (10 years ago), during her senior year at New York University, Bell left a few credits shy of graduating to take a role in the Broadway musical version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
PERSONAL LIFE
Bell signing in Jan. 2005 (6 years ago) at San Francisco's Metreon.At age 11, Bell became a vegetarian. In an interview with PETA, Bell stated, "I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with — dogs and cats, for example — from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussel sprouts!" During her time in Michigan, Bell fostered animals from Michigan Humane Society and she now supports the San Diego-based Helen Woodward Animal Center. Bell often attends fund raisers for the ASPCA and other non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting animals. She owns a Welsh Corgi-Chow Chow mix named Lola, a Welsh Corgi-Chihuahua mix named Shakey, and a black Labrador Retriever named Sadie, who was 11 years old when she was rescued from Hurricane Katrina and adopted by Bell in 2005 (6 years ago). She and many of those who worked on Veronica Mars, including friend Ryan Hansen, are involved with the charity organization Invisible Children Inc. The goal of the organization is to create awareness regarding the plight of Northern Ugandans who are caught in the midst of a civil war between the government and Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army. Bell has shown her support for the Writers Guild of America in the writer's strike, appearing in the picket lines in dec. 2007 (4 years ago) stating, "the writers are just looking for some fairness."
Bell has also done a public service announcement for Do Something's great Healthy Living Campaign.
In 2007 (4 years ago), Bell ended a five-year relationship with former fiancé Kevin Mann, and went on to date actor Dax Shepard. She told Complex magazine that dating "makes me want to vomit. And not out of grossness — OK, a little bit out of grossness, but just nerves." Bell explains, "I’ve always been a serial monogamist."
As she is a Detroit native, she is also an avid fan of the Detroit Red Wings hockey team.

Inilah 28 Rahasia Perempuan Yang Harus diketahui Pria

2. Perempuan sangat menyukai segala hal yang bersifat “tawar-menawar”. Jadi, pertanyaan tentang ‘apakah itu dibutuhkan’ tidaklah relevan. Bagi mereka, segala sesuatu yang dijual dan ditawarkan ibarat sebuah permainan yang mengasyikkan dan adil.
3. Perempuan pada dasarnya tidak punya sesuatu untuk dipakai. jadi, jangan bertanya tentang rak baju di dalam kloset, kamu “hanya harus tidak mengerti kenapa”.
4. Perempuan butuh menangis. Dan mereka tidak akan menangis kecuali mereka tahu bahwa kamu bisa mendengarnya.
5. Perempuan akan selalu bertanya tentang sesuatu yang tidak mempunyai jawaban pasti. Ini adalah upaya mereka untuk membuatmu merasa bersalah.
6. Perempuan butuh berbicara. Jadi, mereka akan selalu ngobrol, ngomong, alis ngacapruk, karena berdiam diri atau menutup mulut sangat menyiksa bagi mereka, walaupun mereka sebenarnya tidak ada yang ingin dibicarakan.
7. Perempuan butuh untuk merasa bahwa ada orang lain yang lebih ‘buruk’ dari mereka. Itu kenapa acara-acara seperti Oprah Winfrey Show sangat sukses.
8. Perempuan tidak menginginkan seks sebesar keinginan laki-laki. Ini dikarenakan seks lebih bersifat fisik bagi laki-laki, dan bersifat emosional bagi mereka. Jadi, hanya dengan mengetahui bahwa laki-laki menginginkan seks dengan mereka, kebutuhan atau hasrat seksual mereka sudah terpenuhi.
9. Perempuan tidak menyukai serangga. Bahkan perempuan terkuat pun selalu membutuhkan laki-laki di samping mereka jika ada serangga yang muncul.
10. Perempuan tidak bisa menjaga rahasia. Sebab itu seolah mengerat mereka dari dalam. Imbasnya, mereka merasa bahwa bukanlah sebuah ‘dosa’ bila membicarakan rahasia tersebut kepada satu atau dua orang.
11. Perempuan selalu ingin tampil berkelompok di depan umum. Sebab, ini memberikan mereka kesempatan untuk menggosip.
12. Perempuan tidak pernah tahan untuk tidak menjawab telpon, apapun yang sedang mereka lakukan. Sebab mereka menganggap telpon itu sebagai pengumuman lotre dan mereka adalah pemenangnya (haha…).
13. Perempuan tidak pernah mengerti kenapa laki-laki menyukai mainan. Sedang laki-laki sangat paham bahwa mereka tidak membutuhkan ‘mainan’ lain bila perempuan punya tombol ‘on/off’.
14. Perempuan akan berpikir bahwa semua rasa ‘bir’ itu sama.
15. Perempuan akan menyimpan tiga jenis shampo yang berbeda dan dua jenis kondisioner di kamar mandi mereka.
16. Setelah perempuan mandi, jangan heran bila kamar mandi akan berbau seperti ‘hutan tropis’.
17. Perempuan tidak mengerti ‘daya tarik’ olahraga. Laki-laki akan mencari hiburan sebagai kesempatan untuk lari dari kenyataan. Sedang perempuan mencari hiburan untuk mengingatkan mereka bagaimana ’segala sesuatu’ bisa berbahaya.
18. Bila laki-laki pergi untuk 7 hari perjalanan, maka mereka akan membawa pakaian untuk lima hari dan akan memakai pakaian yang sama untuk beberapa hari. Tapi bila perempuan pergi untuk 7 hari perjalanan, maka mereka akan membawa pakaian untuk 21 hari. Ini karena mereka tidak tahu yang akan mereka rasakan apa yang mereka pakai setiap harinya.
19. Perempuan akan merapikan rambut mereka bila mau tidur.
20. Perhatikan bagaimana perempuan makan es krim, maka kamu akan tahu bagaimana mereka di tempat tidur.
21. Perempuan akan digaji (dibayar) lebih murah dibandingkan laki-laki, kecuali dalam dunia model.
22. Perempuan tidak pernah ’salah’. Dan meminta maaf adalah tugas laki-laki. Hmm.. siapa sebenarnya yang merayu adam memakan buah apel..?
23. Perempuan tidak tahu apapun soal mobil, kecuali dibutuhkan pabrik mobil untuk iklan.
24. Perempuan punya tempat tidur yang lebih baik dan tertata dibanding laki-laki. Sebab mereka berpikir dalam mimpi pun mereka akan dipuja.
25. Jumlah rata-rata barang di kamar mandi perempuan adalah 437. Laki-laki tidak akan dapat mengerti brang-barang tersebut.
26. Perempuan akan bilang bahwa mereka menyukai binatang yang lucu seperti kucing. Laki-laki juga berkata yang sama, tapi bila tidak berada di depan perempuan, ia akan menendangnya.
27. Perempuan sangat suka berbicara di telpon. Mereka bisa menginap di tempat teman selama dua minggu, lalu ketika kembali ke rumah, mereka akan menelpon teman tersebut selama 3 jam.
28. Perempuan akan merapikan stelan mereka (bersolek) bila mau keluar untuk berbelanja, menyiram tanaman, membersihkan garasi, menjawab telpon, membaca buku, atau bahkan membuka surat.

Yui Yoshioka 2
Early life
Yui Yoshioka was born in Fukuoka, Japan. She grew up in a single-parent family; her father left her mother before she was born. She stated that she had always been close to music; she would remember the beats from music she heard on the radio, and could sing it. By the time she was in elementary school she thought she would like to become a singer.
During her third year in middle school, at her mother's suggestion, Yui began writing a journal of her feelings and tried to compose them into poems. By the time she was in high school, she began to write songs. While in high school, she worked part-time to help pay for tuition. She thought that, being so busy, she no longer had the time to realize her dreams of a music career. Eventually she got ill.While in hospital, she was overwhelmed with the desire to make music. She decided that school and music could not coexist. Upon leaving the hospital, she encountered a live street performance and expressed her desire to pursue a musical career to the band, Bianco Nero, at the end of the concert. Bianco Nero advised Yui to join a private music school. Yui soon dropped out of high school and began to study guitar and songwriting at a juku in her hometown of Fukuoka.[1] Aspiring to become a professional, she took to street performing at Fukuoka's Tenjin Station. These street performances helped Yui to overcome her shyness.
Initial career
Her professional career began in March 2004 when, at the recommendation of her juku instructors, she applied for an audition hosted by Sony Music Japan. Despite the audition rule that a participant could only perform two songs, Yui was allowed to sing three. She first sang "Why Me" (a song later included in her debut single), followed by "It's Happy Line" and "I Know". The judges gave her the maximum score, causing a fierce scramble among record labels to sign her.[citation needed] Because "I Know" was incomplete at the time, the judges were able to get a glimpse of what would later be dubbed "Yui-go", or Yui-speak (Yui語 in Japanese), nonsensical English hummed to a tune during her songwriting process — an example of Yui-go can be found in the film Song of the Sun when Yui is working on the song "Goodbye Days".
On December 24, 2004, she released her debut single "It's Happy Line" under the indie label Leaflet Records, coupled with the track "I Know". The pressing was limited to only 2,000 copies in her home area.
From Me to You (2005–2006)
Upon leaving her hometown in Fukuoka for Tokyo, Yui wrote the song "Feel My Soul" as a tribute to her hometown. She initially had planned its release on an indie label. However, when the song caught the ears of Fuji TV producer Mr. Yamaguchi, who saw the demo video clip, he claimed that Yui's voice touched him so much that he went out of his way to visit the recording studio.[citation needed] Fuji Television's primetime drama Fukigen na Gene used Yui's debut track as an insert song.
On February 23, Yui released her first major debut single, "Feel My Soul". The music in Fukigen na Gene was based on her songs "Feel My Soul" and "It's Happy Line". With the publicity the drama tie-in drew in, "Feel My Soul" managed to sell over 100,000 copies and managed to chart at number 8 on Oricon Weekly Charts in its first week. Her next three singles, "Tomorrow's Way" (theme song for the Japanese movie, "Hinokio"), "Life" (5th ending theme for the anime series Bleach), and "Tokyo" did not chart as high as Feel My Soul did and were only moderately successful in comparison.
After the release of four singles, Yui released her debut album, titled From Me to You, a moderate success with sales of more than 200,000 copies.
Can't Buy My Love (2006–2007)
Yui made her acting debut in the full-length Japanese feature film Song of the Sun (Taiyou no uta, タイヨウのうた),[4] which opened on June 17, 2006. The film was screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[5] Yui attended the Japan Academy Prize and received the Best Newcomer Award for Midnight Sun. Prior to the release of the movie, Yui released her fifth single "Good-bye Days" written specifically for the film. The single is by far her highest selling at more than 200,000 copies sold. All three tracks on the single are featured in the "Midnight Sun." The single also re-released the track "It's Happy Line," originally released on her debut single.
Her next single, "I Remember You", did well in terms of sales, riding on the wave of the popularity of "Good-bye Days." Yui's seventh single "Rolling Star" was chosen as the 5th opening theme for the anime series Bleach. Her eighth single, "Cherry" was featured in commercial promoting KDDI au Listen Mobile Service.
She released her second album Can't Buy My Love on April 4, 2007. The album spending two weeks at number 1 on the Oricon charts, shattering her entire previous album's record sales in one week. Can't Buy My Love managed to sell over 680,000 copies. Due to the success of Can't Buy My Love, Yui's previous album, From Me to You charted once again, adding another 9,000 copies to the Oricon counting
Loved Yesterday (2007–2008)
Yui released her 9th single "My Generation/Understand" on June 13, 2007. It was her first double A-side single. "My Generation" was selected as the ending theme for the drama Seito Shokun!, and "Understand" was chosen as the theme song for the movie Dog in a Sidecar (サイドカーに犬),[6] (starring her senpai at Stardust Promotion, Yūko Takeuchi). The single charted at number 1 on the Oricon Weekly Charts the first week of its release.
Her tenth single, "Love & Truth" was released on September 26, 2007. The title track is the theme song to the Japanese film, Closed Note (クローズド・ノート) (starring Erika Sawajiri, also of Stardust).
During this time, her previous two albums were re-released as Winter Sleeve Editions in alternative covers taken from her "Love & Truth" photoshoot. Her first live concert DVD "Thank You My Teens" was released on November 14, 2007, which contained footage of her second live concert tour. On November 19, 2007, Yui opened her first live show at Nippon Budokan. The tickets for the concert sold out.[7]
Yui started 2008 with her eleventh single, Namidairo, released on February 27, 2008.[8] Yui composed the song as a "mysterious and sad sounding" insert for the television drama 4 Shimai Tantei Dan. The chorus of the song was incidentally written by YUI long ago, during her singing debut.
A week following the release of her 11th single, the promotional video of a new song "Laugh Away", was released. The song was used in Glico's "Watering KissMint" commercial. "Laugh Away" was released as a digital single on March 10, 2008.

The last compilation album that reached No. 1 was Mr. Children's B-Side in May 2007. On the success of "My Short Stories", sales of her first album From Me to You rose again.

Inilah 8 Kebiasaan Buruk yang dilakukan Wanita Ketika Pacaran

Kebiasaan Buruk Yang Dilakukan Wanita Ketika Pacaran
1. Ingin Mengubah Sifat dan Kebiasaan Cowok
Cewek yang selalu maunya mengubah cowoknya adalah cewek yang bawel, cerewet, banyak bacot, dan full of crap. Kebiasaan yang dalam bahasa Inggrisnya disebut "nagging" ini pada akhirnya akan mengurangi daya tarik kamu secara drastis. Maka dari itu, kalau kamu mau cowok yang rapi, cari cowok yang rapi. Kalau mau cowok yang bersih, cari cowok yang bersih! Kalau mau yang kaya, cari yang kaya! Kalau mau cowok yang nurut, cari yang nurut.
2. Menomorduakan Cowok
Cowok mana sih yang mau aja dinomorduakan, dinomortigakan, atau diberi prioritas yang lebih rendah lagi dalam dunia seorang cewek? Jawabannya hanya ada satu. Cowok lossy! Pada dasarnya cowok memilih lebih baik dia mencari cewek lain lagi di mana dia selalu menjadi nomor satu.
3. Ngambek Tujuh Hari & Tujuh Malam
Kamu pikir cowok suka sama cewek yang sekali marah bisa ngambektujuh hari dan tujuh malam? Misalnya saya yang jadi cowoknya sih, kalau kamu mau begitu ya terserah. Mendingan selama kamu lagi ngambek, saya cari cadangan pengganti kamu. Kecuali pacar kamu adalah seorang cowok lossy, salah salah begitu ngambek kamu hilang, kesabaran dia pun udah hilang.
4. Menuntut Cowok untuk Membaca Pikiran Cewek
Kalau cowok salah beli hadiah ulang tahun kamu, kamu bilang dia nggak memperhatikan kesukaan kamu. Kalau dia pilih pergi sama temannya gara gara kamu bilang terserah dia mau ke mana, kamu bilang dia lebih mementingkan temannya.Kalau dia ajak kamu makan di restoran yang salah, kamu bilang dia nggak tau makanan kesukaan kamu. Kalau dia berkeras traktir kamu melulu, kamu bilang dia ada maunya. Cewek sering protes kalau cowoknya nggak punya ide, tapi cewek sendiri kalau punya ide nggak mau bilang terang terangan. Mungkin cowok dan cewek nggak jauh berbeda, tapi paling nggak, cowok umumnya nggak ngambek kalau ceweknya salah menebak keinginannya. Karena itu ya cewekcewek, jangan harapkan cowok kamu untuk bisa membaca pikiran kamu. Kemungkinan besar mereka nggak akan pernah bisa!
5. Menyebut Kekurangan Cowoknya di Depan Umum
Cowok yang mau dipermalukan oleh ceweknya di depan umum adalah cowok lossy, dan itu udah nggak ada tawar menawar lagi. Kalau cowok kamu kabur gara gara ini, mungkin kamu perlu pasang rem yang pakem
di mulut kamu. Yang perlu kamu jaga adalah hal hal yang sifatnya pribadi. Kalau kamu merasa bahwa kamu sering mempermalukan cowok kamu di depan umum, mungkin ini pertanda tidak puasnya kamu terhadap hubungan kamu berdua. Coba kamu pikir baikbaik dan analisa apa yang kurang, daripada hanya bisa buka mulut dan nggak mengerjakan apaapa.
6. Berpandangan Bahwa Cowok Harus Selalu Membayar
Hanya ada satu situasi di mana cewek sama sekali nggak keberatan membayar: kalau untuk keperluannya sendiri. Apakah kamu cewek yang seperti ini? Kalau kamu jawab iya, artinya kamu adalah seorang gold
digger. Kalau cewek mau disejajarkan dengan cowok, kenapa nggak traktir cowok sesering cowok traktir cewek? Kenapa cowok harus membayar melulu? Hubungan percintaan yang benar adalag saling memberi dan menerima dan bukan menerima terus atau memberi terus.
7. Terlalu Mementingkan Teman Teman
Cewek sesekali boleh mementingkan kepentingan sobat sobat cewek Anda tapi jika kamu sebagai cewek terus atau sering berperilaku seperti ini maka jangan salah jika cowok anda meninggalkan anda.
8. Harus Diperlakukan Seperti Ratu Agung
Kalau kamu maunya diperlakukan seperti ratu agung terus menerus, artinya kamu adalah cewek yang maunya menerima melulu dan jarang mau memberi. Mengapa cewek menuntut untuk disamakan dengan cowok dan secara bersamaan juga minta ditempatkan pada posisi yang lebih tinggi seperti ratu agung? Mana konsistensinya? Inilah bukti di mana cewek tipe ini hanya mau enaknya saja. Kalau kamu cewek yang selalu minta diperlakukan seperti ratu agung, mungkin kamu perlu segera mulai memperlakukan cowok kamu seperti
raja agung sebelum dia kabur.
Apakah Anda Melakukannya Salah Satu Dari 8 Itu ?
