Identifying a celebrity

Please help me ID the celebrity on the right[1]. I think that's Steve Buscemi on the left, but I'm not sure.731Butai (talk) 06:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Angelina Jolie. --Viennese Waltz 06:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Is Clint Mansell rich from Requiem for a Dream Soundtrack?

The piece Lux Aeterna (song) (originally composed for the movie Requiem for a Dream) has been ubiquitous ever since it was used in the trailer for The Two Towers back in 2002 (and possibly even before then). Around the same time, it was sampled in a song by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. Even now, you hear it in sporting events and movie trailers and on the TV show America's Got Talent.

What I want to know is: who's getting rich from the royalties for this song. I would love it if Clint Mansell (himself), the song's composer was compensated, but I realize he may not own the rights. Has Mansell ever been interviewed about the popularity of this song?

I did a Google search for Mansell royalities and Mansell interview and didn't find anything.--Captain Breakfast (talk) 07:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Just going from what I know of him (I'm more familiar with his early work with Pop Will Eat Itself), he is more likely to have made his money from the film scores than from PWEI! As for interviews, he is a self-acknowledged recluse and doesn't give interviews. I have to say thank you for asking this question as I never knew about his film work, and I've learned something myself from researching this composer. It's always good to see someone from your old home town making good! --TammyMoet (talk) 12:49, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

What is Little Mix's members full name? But actually I know the full name of Perrie Edwards but I just want to know if I'm correct. Thank You. And A.S.A.P. please......Chandelia16 (talk) 11:07, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Did you look at our article Little Mix? It's in the first sentence. Rojomoke (talk) 11:46, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

No I mean with their second names like for Taylor Swift, Taylor Alison Swift.Chandelia16 (talk) 12:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

That is generally referred to as a person's middle name. That might help with your Googling. Dismas|^(talk) 14:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
