FAMOUS PEOPLE BIOGRAPHIES

Eddie Murphy

by Aleksandar Gajic

Eddie was born on the 3rd of April 1961 in New York in the USA

Murphy’s comic talent was evident from an early age, and by 15 he was writing and performing his own pieces at youth centers and local bars.

Murphy began his more serious comedy career at the young age of 19. He later starred in many comedies including the Beverly Hills Cop series, for which he was recognised by receiving a Golden Globe nomination for best actor.The last film that he took part in was Shreck 3 where he lent his voice to the Donkey, and it has been announced that he will do the same in track 4.

I admire him because he is a very funy actor and his films are perfect, especially Beverly Hills Cop.

Beyoncé Knowles

by Vukašin Dobrivojević

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles (born September 4, 1981 in Houston, Texas) is an American R&B and pop singer, actress, and chief songwriter, and producer in the group Destiny's Child.

Knowles is usually referred to by her first name only, Beyoncé, which is now her stage name, but has come to be called Beyoncé Knowles by many in the media.

Beyonce has recorded more than ten albums.
The most popular album is Dangerously in Love.
• Released: June 24, 2003
• Chart positions: #1 U.S., #1 U.S. R&B, #1 UK, #2 AUS, #1 CAN, #8 NZ, #1 GER
• U.S. certification: 4x Platinum
• U.S. sales: 4 million
• Worldwide sales: 11 million

Since 2002, Knowles has dated rapper Jay-Z. The couple have never publicly discussed their relationship. Knowles has stated that she believes that not publicly discussing their relationship has helped them. Jay-Z has said in a People magazine article that "we don't play with our relationship".

I admire her because she is very successful. She has recorded many albums and I like how she looks.

AMY LEE

-by Milica Drajić

Lee was born to parents John Lee, a disc jockey and tv personality, and Sara Cardill. She has one brother, Robby, and two sisters, Carrie and Lori. Lee had a third sister, who died in 1987. Lee took classical piano lessons for nine years. Her family moved to many places, but finally settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Evanescence started. She graduated from Pulaski Academy and also briefly attended Middle Tennessee State University.

Lee has a recognizable neo-goth style, marked by her occasional use of gothic make-up and taste for Victorian-styled clothing.

Amy Lee mosty performs with Evanescence, but she has some other projects as well. On Korn's last release MTV Unplugged: Korn, Lee sang "Freak on a Leash". The song is also the first single from the album and was released to television and radio in early February 2007.

I like Amy Lee because she refuses to imitate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. Of course, I like her because she is an excellent singer.

MY FAVOURITE POSSESSIONS

By Vukasin Dobrivojevic

Hallo, my name is Vukasin. I am going to write about some of my possessions. Things which I will describe are my bed, mobile telephone and TV.They are very important for me because I sleep in bed, do business with my mobile phone and I watch TV for fun.

First, I will say something about my bed. It is 2.2 meters long, 1.5 meters wide and 0.5 meters high. It is made of wood. My mother bought it for me. I realy like it. When I come from school tired first I throw myself on the bed onto bed and fall asleep. That’s why I like it.

The second thing is my cell phone. I can’t live without it. It is maybe 10cm long , 5 cm wide and 1 cm high. It’s made of plastic. I saved money and bought it. I take it with me whereever I go. Everybody can get me on my cell phone.

The third thing is very important for all people. It’s TV. My TV is 25” (inches) wide. I can watch all information from my country and the world. My parents bought it for me. On TV I can watch films, music spots, sports, cartoons, news… I realy like my TV.

Which thing would you save if your room caught fire? Surely I would save my mobile phone. The reason is simple: I can’t carry too much weight. Bed and TV are too heavy for me.

FRACTURED FAIRY TALES: Little Red Riding Hood
by Lazar Isidorovic



Once upon a time, in a small state of Pambukovica, a big filthy scum called Ludojko lived with his pig called Zelatin.
One really hot day in winter Ludojko went to visit his grandmother who was known as a gangster. Grandmother was really an old coldblooded killer.
On his way to grandmother's he met Stracimir, a guy that Ludojko stole a cow from. Stracimir said: “Where are you going you little thief?“
Ludojko: “I am not a thief, my pig stole your cow! I'm going to visit my grandmother and give her some guns, bombs and tozla“.
Stracimir:“Clean tozla or...?“
Ludojko:“It’s none of your business!“
When they finished the boring conversation Ludojko continued his trip. Short time passed when he got to Grossmutter’s house. When he came he saw Grossmutter was dead. He said: ’’I am going to kill that creep’’. He started looking for Zelatin.

Ten years later the hunters killed Zelatin and left his corpse in front of Ludojko’s doors. Ludojko was happy because he took Zelatin’s house. Ludojko lived with his pig Stracimir hapilly ever after!
