Abigail Breslin at The Happening Premiere

April — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:35:50 +0000

Abigail Breslin is only 12 years old yet has already had a better career than most actors would dream of. She’s been in Sunshine, Princess Diaries 2 and Raising Helen. Anyway, the latest news is that she has turned up to the premiere of The Happening in order to support her older brother Spencer Breslin who stars in the film and is only 16 years old.

Gosh, don’t you feel guilty when you hear how succesful two young people have been. It makes me feel that I haven’t achived anything near what I should’ve. Why is it that some people are just so talented and others aren’t. Of course there is the issue of whether or not it’s good for children to have a career so early on in their lives. Perhaps it would be better for them to be out playing with their friends rather than be turning up to movie premiers and whatnot.

Marko Jaric and Adriana Lima Engaged

April — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:25:16 +0000

Marko Jaric and Adriana Lima the news has just been released. I bet there will be a few tears shed by some teenage fans of both Marko Jaric and Adriana Lima as they are very much the pin-up couple. How perfect a couple can you get? Doesn’t it just make you sick with jealousy? What must it be like to be one of these beautiful people?

Marko Jaric is a basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves whilst Adriana Lima is a model for Victoria Secrets. Apparently Marko Jaric isn’t the sort of guy to fall in love easily but it was true love when he met Adriana Lima. I hope they are happy together in their perfect little lives with lots of money and beauty.

Tastespotting Legal Issues?

April — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:04:09 +0000

The internet is one very strange place, apparently Tastespotting have got themselves into a bit of bother over legal issues. I have no idea what these legal issues are and would really like it if someone would drop a note. Anyway, what is Tastespotting anyway? Well, it’s a website, or rather was a website, where people could upload photos they have taken of food. What’s wrong with that? Just about every blog on the planet has some photos of people’s food. Whether it’s food photos from restaurants or food photos they have taken at home. I know that one of my friends has a blog where she often posts images for food as well as drink. People love food and want to share that love. Don’t ban Tastespotting!

Dick Bavetta Questioned

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:03:44 +0000

Has Dick Bavetta been a naughty boy then? It seems that he’s been pulled in by the feds and questions about a certain thing he shouldn’t be doing: fixing a game. Dick Bavetta was a referee for NBA and perhaps has been making referee descisions he should be because of the influence of money. Who knows but I don’t suppose this is the first time nor will it be the last. What is sport coming to when Dick Bavetta and other people like him just do what they like because they are spineless.

Of course, Dick Bavetta hasn’t actually been charged so remember, he’s innocent until proven guilty. Personally I don’t know but I have seen so many sports games where I have thought that the ref was being particularly unfair to one particular side. Italian football is probably the worst sport for dodgy dealing. Although I won’t say any more than that in case the Mafia come for me!

Juanita Poitier

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:44:54 +0000

It appears that everyone wants to know about Juanita Poitier and who she etc. Well, she was the wife of Sidney Pitier and he has this new book out where he writes letters to his granddaughter about his marriage to Juanita Poitier amongst other things. His book “Life Beyond Measure, Letters to My Great-Granddaughter” was inspired when he saw his grandaughter in the arms of his daughter when she was born in 2005. It was a very moving experience for him and because he was almost 80 at the time he felt compeled to write about his life. Not is movie career but his personal life.

Funny thing is, I thought that Sidney Pitier was dead. I had no idea that he was still alive however he is getting pretty old at 81 years old so it’s just as well that he’s set about writing this book because he might not be around for that long being that old. I think that’s a horrible thing for me to say but oh well. You never know when you are going to die whatever age you are.

Kanab Utah Bikini Ban

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:18:47 +0000

If you live in Kanab Utah and you used to like wearing bikinis then you will be pleased to know that there is supposed to be a revision in the banning of bikinis at city swimming pools. However this doesn’t include all bikinis because thongs are going to probably remain banned.

I think this is a wind up surely? I know that it’s not April Fools Day but I feel that this is the sort of story that the media put out on April 1st. However there is something to be said for banning those thongs. One, it makes women with cellulite feel intimidated by all these Bay Watch Babe types strutting their stuff. And secondly, there are also the delusional few who seem to think they are the Bay Watch Babe types despite the fact that they weigh 20 stone and have enough cellulite to start a cottage cheese factory.

In many cultures they don’t think that too much flesh should be shown in public, and although I’m not quite so prudish, sometimes I think it would be better that certain parts of the body should be kept private.

Elizabeth Smart

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:06:37 +0000

Remember Elizabeth Smart, she was taken from her home for a period of nine months some 6 years ago. Luckily she got home to her family safely but now that time has passed she has been interviewed so that other abductees might feel consoled by her story and perhaps give them strength. I think she must be a very brave girl to have gone through this and be able to talk about it.

People who suddenly go missing without a trace is a very sensitive subject and there have been so many high profile cases of children being abducted. Some children we never hear of again whilst others are luckily found within a relative short period of time. I think it must be awful for the ones left behind because you don’t know what has happened to them; whether they are dead or alive. I certainly don’t know if we’ll ever find out what happened to Madeline McCann. Sometimes however it can take years to find out the truth and unfortunately the truth might me murder.

Siege Audio Stealth Earbuds

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:40:34 +0000

Siege audio stealth earbuds seems like a product I think everyone should have. So what makes them so special? Well, it supposed to be amazing for listening to music whilst on the train, bus or some other noisy place. The Siege audio stealth earbuds work to keep out unwanted noises whilst you can listen to your 50 cent or whatever music it is that people listen to these days.

I can’t remember the last time I ever used ear buds but I do get pissed off with people on the train who insist on listening to music really loudly. I don’t know what their motives for doing this is but it might be because they want to drown out surrounding noises. Or perhaps not. I think they might just be arseholes who don’t care that they’re pissing people off with their shitty music. If I listened to the shite that these people listened to I wouldn’t want other people to know!

Swift Fuel The Best Alternative to Gas?

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:27:51 +0000

We’re always hearing about how biodiesel and bioethanol are the future when it comes to fuel but now it seems there is a company called Swift Enterprises that have released Swift Fuel who are claiming that they have the answer to our shortage of fuel. Now, first of all, I’m so fed up of all these new products coming out all claiming to be environmentally friendly. We go jumping into the deep end assuming that it all tickety boo. But then we find out that it’s not so great because of the way they are made and how we now have a food crisis on our hands and the rainforests are being cut down to make way for palm and soy plantations.

So what I want to know is how Swift Fuel is any better. It’s derived from ethanol afterall and that’s made from plants. So how does that help us? I really don’t know. Apparently the plants used are grown on soils that aren’t so fussy meaning they can be grown in a wider variety of locations. I would really like to believe that Swift Fuel is the future but I’m going to need a lot more convincing.

Soylent Green

April — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:13:42 +0000

So what does PETA have to do to give up meat? Well, it appears that one of their attempts have been to compile a list of films that would make you ditch the meat and turn to the loveliness that is vegetables and fruit. Or is that fruit and vegetables? Anyway, they have made this big list of films and one of them is Soylent Green which was made in 1974. Wow, they have really gone back in the archives to find that one. Does anyone watch movies that old? Can anyone tell me if they made movies in color back then? I tease.

Having read some info about the film Soylent Green I really feel that it is truly becoming a reality. It’s supposed to be Sci-Fi where the world becomes so over populated that not enough food can be grown to feed everyone. Because food is so difficult to find they have to eat this stuff called soylent green. I don’t think this is too far off the mark because when people in the likes of Africa have to be given food aid, what are they given? Usually great big bags of soy beans.
