A Picture Can Hold a Thousand Words

A picture tells a thousand words. When you see a picture of a man sitting on a wheelchair, holding the hand of a girl, what would you think of? Perhaps the girl is in love with the man even though he is disabled or is it a sympathetic love? A picture is a clue to many things. When a police is finding for proof for his investigation, he or she will track every nook and corner. Well, a judge will not believe a claim until the judge sees the real or virtual proof. Yes, seeing is believing. Then only we will find out the real picture.

I always see my friends' photos in the Facebook album who love to take a thousand of pictures of their own face. Sometimes, I always wonder how they could be so indulged into taking photos of their own face. I guess they must love looking into the mirror a lot. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the prettiest of all?

Besides looking at photos, I also love to enjoy abstract artworks. Here is something to share. Marko Stout is a New York City artist who can paint a multitude of great pictures. His works are full of meanings and hopes to the viewers. The paintings will stir my mind to take some time to interpret slowly and carefully. If you are interested to see his paintings, you may visit his gallery. After all, seeing is believing.

Julia's Hot Niece - Emma Roberts

This young actress deserves to be in the list of today's hottest and sexiest female celebrities. She is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of actresses Julia Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan. A singer-songwriter and a designer, she became known for her role as Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon television series Unfabulous.

Born in Rhinebeck, New York, Emma Roberts spent a lot of time on the sets of the films in which her aunt Julia Roberts was starring. These experiences sparked a desire in her, from the age of five, to follow her father and aunts into the film industry. She made her acting debut at age nine in the 2001 drama Blow. She then went on to appear in smaller roles in two family films, in 2002's Grand Champion and in 2003's Spymate.

In 2004, hot and sexy Emma became a teen idol at the age of 13, starring as the lead character Addie Singer in the Nickelodeon series Unfabulous. The television series focused on Addie, a seventh grader whose life is "unfabulous" and she writes songs about her life. The show aired for three seasons from 2004–2007.

In 2006, the hot and sexy young actress returned to the big screen, starring in the film Aquamarine, for which she won a 2007 Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Young Actress in a Feature Film. She then went on to star in several films such as Nancy Drew, Hotel for Dogs, Wild Orchid, Valentine's Day, and The Winning Season. Emma's upcoming film is Scream 4, which will be released in April 2011, over 11 years since the third installment in the popular Scream franchise.

Because her character on Unfabulous writes songs and plays guitar, Nickelodeon also considered a career in music for her as well. The 20-year-old hot and sexy celebrity had already released a debut album in 2005, Unfabulous and More, which served as a soundtrack for her television series. She also recorded a song for the 2005 Disney film Ice Princess and in 2006, covered the song "Island in the Sun" for Aquamarine's soundtrack.
