She has had top-10 hits and Grammy awards in both Finland and Asia since her career began at the age of 13. But she admits it was tough to expand in the fishbowl-like confines of Finland.
The new movie, “Animal,” starring Rob Schneider and “Survivor’s” Colleen Haskell takes a bizarre look at the sexual desires of animals.
