Nicole Kidman Is The New Face For Nintendo

I’m Not Obsessed: Nicole Kidman Is The New Face For Nintendo

"The star will appear in the commercials for the company’s latest game More
Brain Training From Dr. Kawashima, which are due to be screened in the U.K. on
Monday Kidman says, “I love the concept.”"


She is not the first person I would have thought of to promote the brand, but often I think it is when a brand brings in a person that doesn't seem likely to be connected to it that works best. She is a beautiful womyn, and if this means we will see more of her, then it is good news.

» Rosie O’Donnell Won’t Host The Price Is Right - Mocksie.com:

"Rosie O’Donnell will not be the one to fill Bob Barker’s shoes on The Price Is
Right, because she doesn’t want to bother moving to Los Angeles.
On her
video blog over the weekend, Ro called the gig “a fantasy childhood indulgence,”
and explained that she asked CBS to let her tape multiple episodes on the days
she was out West, but the network said no way. "


This is proof that one there is a god, and two that someone over at CBS has a brain and understood how bad the show would be with Rosie on it. Now it looks like Drew Carey, who I think would be great.

Justin Timberlake Is Pissy in Sweden

A Socialite's Life: Justin Timberlake Is Pissy in Sweden

"A Swedish news source reports that Justin Timberlake wasn't acting too
fan-friendly when he stopped by the country along his world tour. The source
claims that Timberlake had responded to a picture request from a young girl by
saying, 'You want me to juggle also?' And later that day, the pop sensation
would not pose for pictures with fans and allegedly 'threw missiles at fans from
the roof of his hotel and even spat at them.' I have no idea what 'missiles'
means, but my curiosity has successfully been aroused. In return, fans started
calling Justin a 'fuckface,' and Timberlake snapped back, 'You're calling me a
fuckface? Go fuck yourself!'"


This is far from the first time he has shown a hatred for his fans, and for the media who act to give his fans access to him. I don't even know why he has any fans, who wants to be treated like that. It isn't like his music is really that good, well I don't think it is.

celebrity nation: Xtina to launch film career

celebrity nation: Xtina to launch film career:

"Christina Aguilera has revealed plans for an acting career. The Candy Man
singer says she's reading scripts in search of the right role to break into
film. 'I am looking forward to moving into another form of what I feel is
another creative outlet for me and that would be acting,' Aguilera told
reporters in Shanghai today. 'It is something that, when I attempt to do it, I
want to do it right so it's important for me that I choose the right first role
for myself.'"


While I wish her luck, I think we have seen that very few are able to cross the line from actress to singer, or from singer to actress. Maybe she will have what it takes, to be honest I don't know that much about Christina. I think that the problem that many of them run into when going from singing to acting, is the parts they take. A real actor will take a part that challenges them as actors. Singers normally take parts that seem like extensions of who they already are.

A Socialite's Life

A Socialite's Life:

"'The rumors are swirling that Britney is joining us in LA. Now, Cyndi [Lauper]
said it wasn't happening. And it's Cyndi's tour, so she would know. But, if it
is happening, I'm thrilled...because I enjoy Britney.
Brit, if you're
watching, honey, you and me! We're gonna share like a backstage moment. Cuz I
love you kid! "


While this isn't the proclamation that some are making it out to be that Britney is not going to be in the show, it does raise doubts. To be honest I had a hard time imagining why Lauper would want Britney to be on her tour. I think it would be great for Britney, who needs to get her fans to see her as a performer again. However what does it hold for Lauper. We shall see if this turns out to be true or not.

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Playboy: The Movie

Brian Grazer, who won an Oscar for 'A Beautiful Mind,' will be producing a
feature length film chronicling Hugh Hefner's life. Hefner, 81, reportedly
approved the project last week, after selling his life rights to Grazer a few
years ago. Brett Ratner, director of the 'Rush Hour' movies, will be directing
the Playboy movie,


"He broke all kinds of taboos, especially in sexuality. I
want to show it all, from the First Amendment (guaranteeing free speech)
struggles to his first orgy to the stroke in the 1980s that almost killed him.''



Like him or not he has had a profound effect on American, and as such an effect on global culture like few others in history have had. The way he started his business is actually rather interesting, and the goals he had when he started as well. It isn't as simple as many people would think. I have come across some of the details, but you can see them in the movie.

Paris To Build Halfway House For Released Convicts

A Socialite's Life: Paris To Build Halfway House For Released Convicts

"Hilton tells Seacrest that she hopes to build a 'transitional home' to help
women when they are released from jail. 'These women just keep coming back
because they have no place to go,' she explains.
Hilton says the home can be
'a place to get food and clothes on their backs,' continuing that the recidivism
rate is 'a really bad cycle and if we stop it now, we can make our community a
better place.'"


There are moments and there are times in peoples lives where events that could not be predicted have effects that would not have been predicted. It looks like Hilton is at one of those points in her life, and if she is serious about what she is saying this could mean a change of heart, and a change of direction for her life. At any rate it will be good to see her out of jail, and on with the rest of her life. I doubt the girl that we have known for so long will be gone, but maybe she really has learned something.
