Charlotte is one of Norway's most popular TV hosts. We chose her because she is a great TV personality and also a really nice girl that represents Norway in the best way. Charlotte hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards last year and shared the stage with superstars Robbie Williams and Madonna. We think it is fun to use such a profiled TV host. And then most of our customers are aged from 18 to 35 years, and so is she," says Moods of Norway designer Simen Staalnacke.
Perhaps his last name - it means "neck of steel" in English - has been helpful. You have to have strong faith in yourself to do what Staalnacke and his business and designer partner Peder Børresen did in 2003.

Madeleine FaIk started at the Ballet Academy of Gothenburg, and thanks to a grant from Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson, pursued a career in dancing and acting, eventually ending up in Los Angeles.

Documentary films have in recent years achieved unprecedented glory and success in the United States. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" not only was named best picture at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, but also made big bucks at the box office. "Bowling for Columbine" attracted a large audience to theatres nationwide, and crystallized a lively debate about violence in schools. Similarly, the documentary "Super Size Me" was yet another U.S. documentary that became a global hit: That orgy of on-screen gluttony even gave the world's largest fast-food chain, McDonalds, a severe case of PR-indigestion.
In neighbouring Denmark, [Karolina Lidin] observes, new documentaries tend to have an intellectual and poetic edge. This is probably due partly to the influence of demon director Lars von Trie...
