YAYOI KUSAMA
One of the world's most important contemporany female artists, Yayoi Kusama and her crazy spot deigns ere everywhere in 2012. The Tate in London held the biggest ever exhibition of her work, and in Paris her art is all over Louis Vuitton's store on the Champs-Elysées after she collaborated on a bag design. It's not bad for semebody who has lived in a Tokyo psychiatric hospital for the past 36 years.
PREDATORY, PROFITABLE CINEMA
You're on plane in a strom. Everyone is nervous. The pilot is coming in to land. Lightning strikes the plane. Everybody screams. And then a giant shark jumps out of the ocean and bites tha plane in half.
Cult hit of the year
You didn't see that coming, did you? That's because you didn't know you were in a scence from 2009 classic Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. True, it didn't win any Oscars but you have to respect a movie that combined two major phobias: flying and sharks.
In 2013's Sharknado, a tornado pulls hundreds of sharks out of the Pacific Ocean and carries them over Los Angleles so that it starts to rain Great Whites on the city. Again, it's double phobia: extreme weather and the danger of being eaten alive in your swimming pool. Stupid? Yes, but Sharknado was the cult hit of the year. Most movies go from cinema to TV, but it has travelled in the opposite direction. Originally a low-budget TV movie on the SyFy channel it's been playing a sold-out midnight projections in cinemas all over the USA. SyFy are now filming a sequel, having organised a Twitter contest to find a title. Fans suggested Sharknado o The Second One. It'll be out this summer, wich is fast for a sequel. But, just like a shark itself, the studio that makes these movies, The Asylum, is fast, predatory and remorseless. They will make a movie, and movie, it there is money in it. and, impressively, every one of their 77 fils, no matter how ridiculous or low-budget, has made a profit.

His grandmother

OPTICAL ILLUSION
Ilusión óptica
¿Alguna vez has soñado que podrías subir construcción como Spider-Man?
Bueno, ahora puede hacerlo, gracias al artista Leonardo Erlich. Su pieza que desafía la gravedad en Londres combina una imagen realista de una casa y varios espejos. la instalación crea la ilusión de que los visitantes se cuelgan de sus paredes y ventanas. Inspirado por los fils de Alfred Hitchcock, Erlich claramente tiene una pasión por el suspense.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II & KATE MIDDLETON
Ella en realidad no puede haber saltado de un helicóptero con James Bond en los Juegos Olímpicos, pero 2012 ha sido el mejor año de la Reina todavía. Su jubileo de diamante fue agasajado con miles de fiestas en la calle, mientras que un sondeo mostró que el 87 por ciento de los británicos apoya la monarquía, una cifra récord.
Kate ha ayudado, por supuesto. Su belleza, estilo y facilidad natural con el público tienen impresionado a la gente en casa y en el extranjero. De hecho, la revista Time la nombró una de las "100 Personas Más Influyentes del Mundo" de 2012.
Republicanos británicos pueden haber esperado ganar más apoyo para su causa, cuando el Queens muere, pero con Kate parece que la monarquía está en buenas manos.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Oscar-winning superstar and nice girl.
Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is everywhere this month.
I Love English has some ideas on how to succeed like Jennifer....
Make the right decisions...
Most actresses, if offered a role in The Hunger Games, would say "Yes"! without hesitation. Not Jennifer Lawrence. She was worried that being famous would change her. She thought about the offer for three days before accepting. like Katniss in the films, Jennifer became a superstar overnight.
But happily, she hasn't changed all!

Give 100 per cent...
To prepare the Hunger Games, Jennifer worked very hard. She trained in archery four times a week, learnt tree and rock climbing, and had fitness and combat coaching. "If I look exhausted in the movie that's definitely real", she says smiling
Be unpredictable...
Jennifer likes to surprise her fans. She plays very different roles from one film to the next. She experiments with new styles. Her hair colour changes from blonde to brown, and she can wear everything from elegant dresses to jeans and simple T-Shirts.
