Lezhë ( or ''Lezhë''; Italian: ''Alessio'', ) is a city in northwest Albania, in the district and county with the same name. It is located at 41.79°N 19.65°E and has a population of about 27,500 (2009 est).

History

The city was founded around 385 BC as a Greek colony by Dionysius I of Syracuse by the name of Lissos (Λισσός), as part of a strategy by Dionysius to secure Syracusan trade routes along the Adriatic. Diodorus calls it a polis.) and there are elements of Syracusan architecture in part of its walls. At a later time it came under Illyrian rule. In 211 BC, Philip V of Macedon captured the citadel of Akrolissos, and Lissos surrendered to him. The town was later recovered by the Illyrians. It was in Lissos that Perseus of Macedon negotiated an alliance against Rome with the Illyrian king Gentius, and it was from Lissos that Gentius organized his army against the Romans. Lissos maintained a large degree of municipal autonomy under both Macedonian and Illyrian rule, as evidenced by the coins minted there. its name Latinized as ''Lissus''.

From 2004 an excavation started around the ancient Acropolis of Lissos and the Skanderbeg Memorial, which revealed Hellenistic, Roman and Early Byzantine buildings, tombs and other findings.

In Middle Ages Lissus (then known as Alessio) frequently changed masters until the Venetians took possession of it in 1386. It still belonged to them when Skanderbeg died, but In 1478 it feel into the hands of Turks, with the exception of a short period (1501–1506) when it returned to Venetian domination. Because it was under the Venetian control, it was chosen in 1444 by George Castrioti (Skanderbeg) as a neutral place for the convention of Albanian, Serbian, Dalmatian and other lords of the area aiming at organizing their common defence against the Turks.

According to other historians, Lezhë is considered as the site of the League of Lezhë where Skanderbeg united the Albanian princes in the fight against the Ottoman Empire.

Skanderbeg was buried in the cathedral of Lezhë which was dedicated to Saint Nicholas.

Lezhë has also been known by the Italian form of its name, ''Alessio'' and in 19th c. as Alise, Lesch, Eschenderari, or Mrtav (Catholic Encycl.).

Sport

The association football club is KS Besëlidhja Lezhë. Although primarily concerned with football, KS Besëlidhja also participates in sports such as wrestling and beach volleyball.

The Midnight Beast, sometimes abbreviated as TMB, is a British comedy music group from London, perhaps most famous for their YouTube cover-parody of the 2009 worldwide hit single TiK ToK by American pop artist Ke$ha. The group currently consists of its three founding members, Stefan Abingdon, Dru Wakely and Ashley Horne.

Members

Stefan Abingdon

Stefan James Donald John Abingdon (born 19 January 1989) is a graduate of The BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology. Prior to the formation of TMB, Abingdon was a member of numerous non-comedic music projects, including Ink, Icarus Burning, Killafornia, R.U.Twin, The Clik Clik, Perfect People, and Chapters, as well as recording songs as a solo act. Abingdon is a multi-instrumentalist, and can be seen playing acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and ukeleles in YouTube videos with his various bands. When performing with the group live, Abingdon sings and plays both guitars and keyboards. In 2011, Abingdon wrote and produced the title track for Selena Gomez & the Scene's third studio album When the Sun Goes Down.

Dru Wakely

Andrew Francis Wakely (born 10 January 1987) was also a musician prior to the formation of TMB, playing drums alongside Abingdon in Icarus Burning, The Clik Clik, and Perfect People. When performing with the group live, Wakely sings, and also provides drums and percussion. Many of the groups early songs, including the "TiK ToK " parody and "Daddy", make comedic reference to Wakely's supposed feelings of abandonment towards his father. As described in "Daddy", his father left the house on Christmas Eve to pick up some milk at the store, and never returned. Wakely eventually discovered that his father had left him and his mother to run off and start a family with their Spanish housekeeper. While the songs treat these claims as a comedic exaggeration, their authenticity has not been confirmed or denied by Wakely himself.

Ashley Horne

Ashely Neil Horne (born 4 January 1989) is the only member of the group with no known professional musical experience prior to forming TMB, although Horne can be seen playing the bass guitar in concert with the group. Horne was originally pursuing an acting career, and had bit parts in a number of British television series, including ''Foyle's War'', ''EastEnders'' and ''Doctor Who''. A number of the group's songs, "Booty Call", "Just Another Boy Band" and "The Dance Routine" among them, make comedic toungue-in-cheek references to Horne being gay. Like Wakely's childhood stories, they are treated in a very comical light; however, Horne's orientation has not been stated by Horne himself.

Reception

The Midnight Beast have a rather large following on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, with over 273,000 subscribers and a combined 39 million views on their YouTube channel alone, as well as over 300,000 Facebook fans as of August 2011. The group's songs often appear on iTunes music charts, and their accompanying music videos routinely reach over 1 million veiws on YouTube. The group has also had songs reach positions on national music charts in the U.K. and Australia.

The band and their music have achieved high levels of success not only with fans, but critics as well. Music and internet culture critics have often mentioned the band's instant "internet fame", and the transition of that fame into the real world. On Christmas Day 2009, the "TiK ToK" parody was featured on the front page of MTV.com, and the group have made videos in collabaration with BBC Comedy and MTV Rocks.

The group has also garnered praise from artists that they have parodied. Both Ke$ha and Jay Sean have tweeted positive reactions to the group's parody of their respective songs, TiK ToK and Down, with Ke$ha stating "''holy. shit. this is better than my version.''", and Jay Sean posting "''Hahha brilliant. Someone should mix this with "pants on the ground"...''". Ke$ha would go on to state the she wished the group had directed her own music video.

The group has also attracted minor controversy with its music. In an online post from February 2011, Metro, a British newspaper, raised issue with the lyrics of "Use Your Head", a sexual education-themed skit made for the Marie Stopes International charity's Have A Larc organization, which promotes safe sex. The paper cited the lines "One up the bum and it’s no harm done" and "One up the bum and you won’t be a mum", stating that it appeared that the group was suggesting anal sex as a birth control method. It also quoted unnamed critics who mentioned that the video failed to point out that anal sex could still lead to the transmission of STDs. The story eventually reached the front page of the paper. The song 'Pizza in Ibiza' also attracted some controversy, magazines criticised the throwing of food into the sea and use of condoms.

She rose to prominence as one of the regular cast members of ''Saturday Night Live'' in the early 1980s. She was later cast in the role of Elaine Benes on the NBC sitcom ''Seinfeld''. Her performance over nine seasons earned her an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award and five Screen Actors Guild Awards. In 2002, she and her husband developed the series ''Watching Ellie'', which achieved limited success. In 2006, she tried her luck again with a new sitcom and subsequently earned her second Emmy Award as Christine Campbell in the sitcom ''The New Adventures of Old Christine'', which lasted for five seasons on CBS.

In May 2010, Louis-Dreyfus received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to the broadcast television industry.

Personal life

Louis-Dreyfus was born in New York City, to Judith, a writer and special needs tutor, and Gérard Louis-Dreyfus (also known as William Louis-Dreyfus), a French attorney and business executive. Her paternal grandfather was Pierre Louis-Dreyfus (1908-2011), a French Jew who fought in the French Resistance during World War II. Her parents divorced in 1962, a year after her birth. After relocating to Washington, D.C., when Julia was eight, her mother married L. Thompson Bowles, Dean of the George Washington University Medical School.

Louis-Dreyfus has two half-sisters on her Louis-Dreyfus side, Emma and Phoebe. Through her father, a billionaire heir to the Louis Dreyfus Group, one of the world's largest commodities trading and merchandising firms,

Louis-Dreyfus' maternal half-sister, Lauren Bowles, is also an actress, appearing with her on ''Seinfeld'' and ''The New Adventures of Old Christine'', as well as on ''Veronica Mars'' and in the film ''Ghost World''.

Louis-Dreyfus spent her childhood in several states and countries in connection with her stepfather's work with Project HOPE, including Sri Lanka, Colombia and Tunisia. She graduated from the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, MD in 1979, and attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she studied theater, appeared in the Waa-Mu Show, and was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority. After three years, she left to begin work on ''Saturday Night Live''; later receiving (2007) an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from Northwestern.

While at Northwestern, Louis-Dreyfus met future husband and ''Saturday Night Live'' comedian Brad Hall. She, Hall, and future ''SNL'' writer Paul Barrosse all were members of the community's storefront theater troupe, the Practical Theatre Company. She and her husband have two sons, Henry (b. 1992) and Charles (b. 1997).

Career

Louis-Dreyfus was a cast member on NBC's ''Saturday Night Live'' from 1982 to 1985, tying with current cast member Abby Elliot as the youngest female cast member in the show's history at the age of 21. While on ''SNL'', she met writer Larry David, who would later co-create ''Seinfeld''. Louis-Dreyfus also appeared in a few sitcoms and films over the years, and is widely known for her nine-season role as "Elaine Benes" on NBC's ''Seinfeld'' from 1990 to 1998, appearing in all but three episodes. On the "Notes About Nothing" featurette on the Season 1-2 DVD, Jerry Seinfeld says that Louis-Dreyfus' ability to eat a peanut M&M; without cracking the peanut aptly describes the actress: "She cracks you up without breaking your nuts". At that time, she provided the voice of Atta in Disney/Pixar's ''A Bug's Life''.

After ''Seinfeld'', Louis-Dreyfus began a new NBC sitcom, ''Watching Ellie'', which was canceled after two abbreviated seasons.

In 2005, it was announced that Louis-Dreyfus had been cast in the title role of a new CBS sitcom ''The New Adventures of Old Christine''. Created by Kari Lizer, the series told the story of Christine Campbell, a single mother who manages to maintain a fantastic relationship with her ex-husband, while running a women's gym. The series debuted on CBS in March 2006 to an audience of 15 million and was initially a ratings winner for the network. Louis-Dreyfus also received considerable critical acclaim for her performance on the show, earning the 2006 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the first season. Referring to the curse, she stated in her acceptance speech, "I'm not somebody who really believes in curses, but curse this, baby!" For the first season she also received a Golden Globe Award nomination and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. She was nominated for Emmys for the show's subsequent four seasons, but lost to Tina Fey for ''30 Rock'', America Ferrera for ''Ugly Betty'', Toni Collette for ''The United States of Tara'' and Edie Falco for ''Nurse Jackie.'' The series was cancelled by CBS in May 2010 after five seasons.

She had a recurring guest role as the deceitful prosecutor and love interest of Michael Bluth, Maggie Lizer, on ''Arrested Development''. She has also appeared on ''The Simpsons'', providing the voice for Snake's girlfriend Gloria on three episodes.

She returned to host ''Saturday Night Live'' on May 13, 2006. Louis-Dreyfus appeared with former ''Seinfeld'' mates Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld in the opening monologue, parodying the so-called "Seinfeld Curse". She mocked the curse once again while accepting her Emmy award in 2006. She has also appeared on ''Seinfeld'' co-creator Larry David's show ''Curb Your Enthusiasm'', playing herself fictionally trying to break the "curse" by planning to star in a show in which she would play an actress affected by a ''Seinfeld''-like curse.

Louis-Dreyfus received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the 2,407th star) on May 4, 2010. Originally, the star was set with Louis-Dreyfus' name misspelled, missing the 'o' in ''Louis'' and the hyphen in her last name, ''Julia Luis Dreyfus''. The star was corrected and the misspelled portion will be removed and presented to the actress.

In the fall of 2009, she appeared with rest of the cast of ''Seinfeld'' in the third, sixth, ninth, and tenth episodes of the seventh season of Larry David's sitcom ''Curb Your Enthusiasm''.

In the spring of 2010, Louis-Dreyfus joined the cast of the web series ''Web Therapy'', starring Lisa Kudrow as a self-involved therapist who gives her therapy online, and earned strong reviews. She joined in the third season, playing Shevaun, the sister of Kudrow's character Fiona, who is also a therapist. ''Web Therapy'' is to air on Showtime in 2011.

In fall 2010, Louis-Dreyfus made a guest appearance on the live episode of the three-time Emmy winning comedy ''30 Rock'', playing Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) in flashbacks. Dreyfus was among several ''Saturday Night Live'' alumni, including Rachel Dratch, Bill Hader and stars Fey, Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin.

Dreyfus starred in a "Women of SNL" special November 1, 2010 on NBC.

Most recently, Louis-Dreyfus played U.S. Vice President Selina Meyers in a HBO satirical comedy pilot entitled ''Veep'', written by Academy Award nominated screenwriter Armando Iannucci. In April 2011, it was confirmed that HBO had picked up ''Veep'' as a series. The series will co-star Anna Chlumsky and Tony Hale. It begins filming fall 2011 and is projected to premiere on HBO in 2012. Following HBO's announcement Louis-Dreyfus was quoted as saying that "although everyone says it's a comedy, I don't think there is anything funny at all about me being a heartbeat away from the presidency."
