Celebrity Apprentice 2011: Who is Meat Loaf and why is he famous?

Celebrity Apprentice 2011!

Who is Meat Loaf and why is he famous?

[Mar. 13]

Rocker and actor Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) is probably best known for his Grammy Award-winning song I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That). However, the artist known as Meat Loaf got his film debut in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also made an appearance in Fight Club.

In 2007, he auctioned an autographed guitar to benefit the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Earlier this year he won ESPN’s Fantasy Football Charity League to benefit The Painted Turtle, the world’s largest family of camps devoted to children with serious and life-threatening illnesses.

Currently green celebrity Meat Loaf is the host of a celebrity game show Rock and a Hard Place that pits rockers against one another in an ultimate battle of the bands. The show premiered in 2008 on the 101 Network, a network exclusive to DirecTV customers. Each team of contestants plays for its chosen charity.

Meat Loaf has offered several stories about how he got his famous name, but most sources confirm that his father teased him about his weight when he was young, calling the green celebrity “Meat”. Supposedly the “Loaf” was added in high school. It should come as no surprise that Meat Loaf might exaggerate the origins, though. He is well known for his operatics.

Asked about his age, and whether he was born in 1947 or 1951, the green celebrity famously replied: “1951. I have it on my passport and driving license. [I said 1947 in my autobiography] because I just wanted to maintain a constant lie. I was born in 1951 but see what a great thing it is, because everybody asks me? And I can keep it up – I can tell you I was born in 1952. Names and ages piss me off. So I just continually lie.”

National Museum of the American Indian Hosts Environmental Film Festival

Environmental Film Festival!

National Museum of the American Indian Hosts Environmental Film Festival —

[Mar. 13]

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian is one of the most interesting museums in downtown Washington, DC — and a pioneer cultural center that works to emphasize a lifestyle that is green. The museum staff will be hosting filmmakers Zacharias Kunuk and Ian Mauro for the U.S. première of Qapirangajuq: Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change—the world’s first Inuktitut-language documentary on the topic— Sunday, March 27, at 2 p.m. in the circular museum’s Rasmuson Theater.

According to museum workers, “this groundbreaking documentary captures the voices of those who are often overlooked in the discussion on climate change: the indigenous communities that are disproportionately affected by it. Inuit elders recall observations and customs passed down through centuries of storytelling and how their traditional ways of life are threatened by a warming Arctic. Their insight challenges mainstream accounts and reveals why climate change has become a human-rights issue for Native people.”

The new movie screening will be broadcast simultaneously online at www.isuma.tv, an independent network of Native and Inuit media, and at AmericanIndian.si.edu/webcasts. Film makes will be online and available to answer viewers questions.

It’s been a decade now since Michael J. Fox, who is struggling with Parkinson’s, starred as the voice of Milo Thatch in the animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), but not hearing the word Atlantis in the press as often has not dampened the spirits of those who search for it. Now, a team of scientists and geologists believe they may have discovered the fabled lost city of Atlantis … in Spain of all places. A U.S. lead archaeology research team believes they may have found the fabled Atlantis, a place that the Ancient philosophers and historians had mentioned as real but having been destroyed, in the mud flats of southern Spain. The exciting contemporary living history news comes as a timely announcement. Why? Because scientists believe it was washed away by a giant tsunami, one very similar to the earthquake tsunami experienced this week by the island nation of Japan.
