Elena Jane Goulding (born December 30, 1986), better known by her stage name Ellie Goulding, is an English singer-songwriter. She became only the second artist to be named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of the year in the BBC's annual poll of music critics, Sound of 2010, and become the recipient of the Critics' Choice Award at the BRIT Awards in the same year, following Adele's win of both in 2008. After signing to Polydor Records in 2009, she released her first extended-play recording in 2009, An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, and her debut studio album Lights followed in 2010. Her album went on to debut at number one on the UK Albums Chart and sold over 380,000 copies by the end of 2010.
Her musical style has been compared to that of Kate Nash, Lykke Li, Tracey Thorn, and Björk.


Ellie was born and brought up in Hereford, Herefordshire, the second of four children. She began playing the clarinet and writing songs at the age of nine, and at fourteen began learning guitar. She started songwriting at the age of fifteen and while in college she won a singing competition.

After two years at Kent, she was advised to take a gap year to pursue singing, and moved to West London.
She is a keen runner, running six miles every day, and in 2010 admitted plans to run a marathon. In support of her second EP, Run Into the Light, she invited a small number of fans through her Facebook pages, to run with her in seven different cities on her UK tour, and has announced that she will be doing the same across Europe and the United States. A website, EllieRuns.com, was launched in support. Goulding's keenness for exercise has given her what is considered to be an impressively athletic physique

Marilyn Monroe Porn Film Discovered

Marilyn Monroe is not someone that everyone is expected to have a sex tape.

However, a collector plans to auction what he claims is a newly discovered 8-mm version of a film purportedly showing Marilyn having sex when she was still an underage actress known as Norma Jean Baker.

Event promoter Mikal Barsa said in a press conference that the film­ was shot sometime between 1946 and 1947.

Barsa had previously commercialized the only other copy of this film, which surfaced in 1997 and was sold to a private collector for $1.2 million in 2001.

Back then, controversy sparked over whether it was Monroe who appeared masturbating and having sex with an unknown man. At the conference, Barsa mentioned documents from the FBI investigating the origin of the film, and a set of jewelry worn by Monroe in the film that is the same as what she wore on other films and photos she did around that time.

With a starting price of half a million dollars, the item will be the highlight of the first Buenos Aires Film Collecting Fair, which will take place between on August 6th and 7th at the Borges Cultural Centre.
