Manchester United superstar Ryan Giggs became involved in a controversy concerning a supposed affair with a reality television star, reports said.</p>
<p>Giggs, who is married and has a son and daughter, was named in Parliament on Monday as the footballer who gets a High Court injunction to avoid details of an affair with earlier Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas being made public.</p>
<p>Speaker John Bercow instantly bound out of his seat and reproved Mr Hemmings in an effort to try to defend the Manchester United player’s identity.</p>
<p>The player’s face was published by the Glasgow-based Sunday Herald and India’s leading newspaper the Times Of India printed a picture of the footballer and used his name 3 times in a report concerning the injunction.</p>
<p>Ferguson, who won the Manager of the Year award and 2 others at Monday night’s League Managers’ Association dinner, said that “The media is a difficult beast to handle these days with the profile of the players.”</p>

Uruguay&#8217;s two most famous artists work in Punta del Este studios that do triple duty as museums and gathering places.</p>
<p>Carlos Páez Vilaró&#8217;s Casapueblo is a a stunning design achievement. This enormous snow-white structure seems part Aegean villa and part space colony.</p>
<p>It is also an inspired locale for Punta visitors to bask in &#8220;magic hour,&#8221; witnessing dazzling Punta sunsets for a modest fee (the sparkling toast is complimentary). In season, the surrounding seas churn with the frolics of summering whales. Casapueblo is built on Punta Ballenas, or Whale Point.</p>
<p>Casapueblo is also a museum that celebrates the career and iconic sun drawings of illustrator and painter Carlos Páez Vilaró, a dashing octogenarian often on the premises.</p>
<p>What else can Casapueblo be? Indeed, it is a hotel with dozens of fanciful, ocean-perched rooms.</p>
<p>Lovers of sculpture and modern art staying in Punta must include a trip to the lair of Pablo Atchugarry.</p>
<p>Atchugarry-the name is Basque, like many Uruguayans&#8217;-creates massive yet delicate abstract works in sensuous, silken, cloud-white Carrara marble. Weighing a half-ton but appearing feather-light, Atchugarry&#8217;s works remind some connoisseurs of angel wings, others of curvy torsos.</p>
<p>A few visitors to Atchugarry&#8217;s museum wander into his studio beside the parking area. Here, in a glass-walled white space filled with powder-fine marble dust, they are apt to catch the master hewing rock. Señor Atchugarry is a giant of a man, and equal to the stone behemoths he turns into poetry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of different forms of celebrity art that you could find throughout the world. There are forms of art about celebrities that everyone may recognize, painting the person in a new light for us to contemplate. They may take the iconic images of these celebrities and use that to make a statement about the world, pop culture, or the celebrity themselves. By the same token, there are pieces of celebrity art which were actually made by celebrities. Many different types of celebrities like to branch out and explore more terrain than the one that they are known for and these pieces, like their other forms of work, can also be quite good. At the same time, artists themselves can actually hold a status of celebrity, making everything that they do a form of celebrity art.</p>
<p>Galleries are one of the most common places to display these pieces of art. Often, shows will be put on in a gallery which can either display the entire collection of one artist or take some pieces from many different artists and show them all. When one of these shows are exhibited where many different artists participate, they will generally follow a certain theme in all of the work that they present. This theme could follow a certain celebrity, such as commemorating the glamor of the 1950s movie stars.</p>
<p>One feature of galleries, which cannot be found in a museum, is that most pieces featured are in fact for sale. This allows anyone to find a piece that they particularly fall in love with and to purchase it. This can be a great investment, having a work either about or by a certain celebrity who your collection of other pieces of memorabilia just happens to be about. Indeed, these pieces are usually even autographed by the artist, giving you a great piece of autographed art to add into your collection. Not only can you potentially find a piece to fill your collection, but you may be making an investment for the future. No one knows how valuable that particular piece of art may be in 20 years.</p>
<p>Galleries will not always feature only new art, though. Sometimes the owners of a piece can put some art on display for the world. These can be pieces by famous celebrity artists that are part of a private collection that the owner still decides to display for the world. Many times, there pieces will have a price tag on them as well, allowing one to find a rare piece to add to the collection. If you are looking for some interesting, compelling pieces of celebrity autographed art, one additional place to take your search would be through many different art galleries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michelangelo was born Italian and lived from 1475 to 1564.</p>
<p>Among many other famous works of art he is credited with sculpting David and Pieta, designing the dome of Saint Peter&#8217;s Basilica and painting the famed Sistine Chapel frescoes.</p>
<p>During his 89 year life he embodied the persona of an Artist. Leaving us some of the most undeniably brilliant sculptures, drawing, paintings, poetry, and architect the world has ever seen.</p>
<p>There had never been before, nor has there been since an artist who&#8217;s work in so many different fields has been so revered. You will find famous painters, the like of Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, etc and poetic geniuses like, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, etc&#8230; and you will also some very talented and gifted sculptures and the architects. What you will not find is another artist that excelled in each of these arts as Michelangelo did.</p>
<p>If you consider the time it takes to master just one of these disciplines, leaving his name in literary books, art museums, architectural structures and pencil drawings is nothing short of amazing.</p>
<p>Michelangelo was without question the greatest marble sculptor during the era in which he lived. Many say he was the best of any era. He preferred marble sculpting and fresco painting above all other forms, which are two of the hardest styles to create, let alone master. The speculation is it was the physical, intellectual and artistic challenges of these forms of art drew him to them. From looking at his paintings, even when undertaking this art form he was interested in challenging himself. Often choosing the most difficult poses and he continuously layered his work with multiple meanings in reference to religion, mythology among other subjects.</p>
<p>It was clear early on that Michelangelo was destined to be an artist. Legend has it that even his father&#8217;s ongoing scolding&#8217;s could not keep the young Michelangelo from drawing instead of attending to his schoolwork. In fact his father is believed to have beaten Michelangelo on numerous occasions. Attempting to persuade him into another profession.</p>
<p>Michelangelo so dedicated himself to his love of art that during his lifetime he never married.</p>
<p>Because Michelangelo&#8217;s love for art was so persistent his father soon allowed him to be an apprentice at the age of 13 with Domenico Ghirlandia, on what was to be a paid apprenticeship. An arrangement that was quite uncommon for the time. Normally the apprentice paid to learn from the master while learning and working odd labor in the master&#8217;s home. A conflict forced him out after a year.</p>
<p>He was then invited to stay at the home of Lorenzo de&#8217; Medici, the Magnificent. Where Michelangelo would continue his art studies. Michelangelo, by the time he was 16 had completed two medium sized sculptures and would go on to complete 30 completed and famous sculptors and 7 paintings. There is no precise number but when Michelangelo died in 1556 he left a large number of sculptors and paintings incomplete.</p>
