William Shakespear has a red nose.

On the 18th of the month the people of Britain dressed up funny and celebrated the Red Nose Day, that occurs every couple of years since 1988. Red Nose Day is a day that gives people a chance to dress in t-shirts with pictures of, among others, Shakespeare with a red nose and Louis XVI lady with red breasts. However Red Nose Day is actually a chance for people to donate money that will help those in need. This year were raised approximately 75 million pounds. In the campaign participated British celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Pixie Lott, Ant and Dec, Nicola Roberts, John Cleese and David Walliams (photographed by Bryan Adams), as well as Bill Gates, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton by expressing their support.

Designer of the impressive t-shirts was of course one of Britain's best fashion designers, the most renowned Vivienne Westwood.

The Unforgiving
The fifth studio album of Within Temptation, released on March 25th 2011, is an innovative and multidimensional project. The concept is that alongside the album, a series of comic books and short films will be released, like the ones that have already been made public from their official site, the first being ''Mother Maiden''(that ties with the music video 'Faster') and the second ''Sinéad''.

So far, I had the chance to listen to some of the new songs only a few times but what is certain to me is that the sound of Within Temptation has changed, only slightly to be more aggressive and vigorous but when Sharon den Adel sings it still sounds like pure Within Temptation. Furthermore,it seems to me that their music orchestration in some songs is particularly thorough and gives an interesting edge to the songs.Obviously their sound has evolved and, if I may say, this is always a good thing.
