Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution – Week #42
Thursday, October 20th, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #42 puzzle:
| Week #42 | |
| Category: | Music |
| Difficulty: | Medium |
| Clue: | Ladies and Gentelemen, boys and girls, presenting two of the most provactive entertainers in history… |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| OK, so maybe not “Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,” but rather just “Lady” and “Boy.” In putting these two famous faces together, I was struck at how similar their styles (and careers) have been so far. It’s almost more about the performance than the music, I think… | |

Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution – Week #41

| Clue: | These two handsome men are famously linked for a time when they kept their faces hidden |

 | |
 |  |
| When actors look like this, it seems strange to cover their faces in the movies. But George Clooney and Christian Bale both famously took a turn wearing a certain bat-like cowl, adding their names to a long list of actors who have stage-whispered their way into history. | |
