+++ SHORT BREAK +++
16.07./31.07. - (corriere.it) "Cinema, è morto Ingmar Bergman. Il regista svedese si è spento nella sua casa sull'isola svedese di Faar. Aveva 89 anni. La notizia data da sua figlia Eva. Vinse tre oscar. Nel 1997 il suo ultimo film." - Sad day for the cinema, a great director died. My sincere condolences.
(IMDB) "She says, "I'm sort of writing two things at the moment. One is for children and the other is not for children. The weird thing is that this is exactly the way I started writing Harry... I was writing two things simultaneously for a year before Harry took over. So one will oust the other in due course, and I'll know that's my next thing."" - J.K. Rowling is on my opinion a genius and a star in her sector and for her masterpieces! The last Potter coming out these days was the fastest-selling book in history!
(People) "But as another source tells PEOPLE: "Usher changed his mind."
Usher (full name: Usher Raymond) and Foster, a stylist, also "had a lot of differences about the details. For example, the bride wanted barbeque, [and] he wanted to have [renowned chef] Jean Georges cook," said the source.
As a result of the differences, the wedding "was on again off again for the past few days. [Foster] was calling it off because she wasn't getting the things that she wanted. The mother was calling it off. ... Usher was calling it off." " - Well, sad matter, it does not often happen, that a marriage is called off, but both parts should be one word in all 'details' regarding the wedding before it is fixed. I would talk about it with my future husband until he is not able to listen to me anymore, and I wouldn't invite people at the wedding, if I know, that they do not agree with it, and even want to impede it. I wouldn't even invite my family (close members are not very balanced mentally, a sort of senile dementia or Alzheimer, who knows.. ) at the wedding, can You all imagine?! So, if somebody wants to approach me, do not go through my family! It does not work - in my case. I would do it just with good friends on an island or so. I would probably do it like Steve Martin these days! Congrats, by the way! AND, believe me, if the neighbours on the top here (where I still live now) were married (a real nightmare of people!), then there is hope for EVERYBODY!
(contactmusic.com) ".. Damon insists he and his Ocean's Thirteen co-stars have formed such a close friendship, because Clooney and Pitt are no different to the friends he grew up with. Damon says, "George and Brad are kindred spirits. Having a beer with those two guys is like having a drink with guys I grew up with. It's just like any other group - cards, pool and a few beers. Behind closed doors you'd have no idea they were stars." - Did I mention, that I love them all?! But, beer.. do they behave just like German macho-men, who only drink beer after a hard day, and they were happy with it?! .. I know, that George Clooney loves Italian wine, and it has a little bit more style, I guess. But, I believe Damon wanted to bring an example, that everybody could understand as simplicity of their human spirits, or?!
(contactmusic.com) "The FBI was contacted and Schmidt - known for arranging deals for celebrity photographs - was arrested by agents on Tuesday (24Jul07). He is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Schmidt is currently trying to sell Paris Hilton's diaries, as well as photographs of her and personal items that were left abandoned in an LA storage lock-up." - .. And often the glamourous people are victims of heavy crimes like blackmail and do not have good times.. Cruise is not having a good time at all!
(People) "Nicole Richie pleaded guilty to DUI and was sentenced to four days in jail on Friday in a Glendale, Calif., courthouse – just one month after her pal Paris Hilton walked free from behind bars.
She also agreed to serve a three-year probation term, and must enroll in an alcohol education program. She was also fined $2,048.
During the hearing, Los Angeles County Commissioner Steven Lubell admonished Richie, saying: "Someone could've gotten killed. You need to understand that driving under the influence is extremely dangerous." " - On here I report stuff of glamourous people, but what they do is not always glamourous! She is the second one, and the third one will be Lindsay Lohan. I do not think this is funny or nice anyway. Four days are nothing compared to the nightmare of Paris Hilton's sentence - which is of course better for Nicole, obviously. Why is there such a huge difference?! Mumble, mumble.. Anyway, that's why I love Mischa most (just friendship, I am not lesbian at all)! Mischa Barton, go ahead like that!
(ORF.at) "Matt Damon hat seinen Freund und Kollegen George Clooney als homosexuell
bezeichnet. Allerdings meinte der "Ocean's Thirteen"-Star seine Aeusserung eher witzig. Der Grund: Damon findet es immer wieder amuesant, dass Clooney Jahr fuer Jahr erneut zum "begehrtesten Single der Welt" gewaehlt wird und trotzdem immer noch ohne Partnerin lebt. ... Laut dem Onlinedienst Femalefirst.co.uk sagte der 36-Jaehrige woertlich: "George ist schwul. Jeder weiss das. Aber um ehrlich zu sein, ich habe das nicht gewusst - bis mich George mal angemacht hat." " - Well George Clooney is all but a gay, and I guess he made a choice, or he did not find the right one to get together. In short, he did not meet me! (It's a joke, but who knows! He is in Italy, I am in Italy, he loves Italy, I love Italy, he loves Italian food, I love Italian food, too, etc..)
(People) "The store is the same one where Britney Spears bought a $3,000 Yorkie puppy less than two weeks ago. ..
Hilton, who has said she really missed her pets while in jail, also recently bought a new Yorkie named Cinderella, and has another Chihuahua named Tinkerbell, among other pets." - Cinderella?! Mumble, mumble, .. some paps have found her puppy out of the villa... I guess the name fits very well to her! And, are pets so much money worth overthere? (3,000 $ or so under a wheel?! Oh, no.. ) I am on my way to sell the future puppies of my two dogs in California! Maybe it's the fastes way to become millionaire!
(People) "Lohan was arrested early Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and released on bail facing misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license, and felony cocaine possession. If convicted on all charges, she could face up to six years behind bars, NBC News reports." - I guess I saw it coming.. oh my godness! She is really the third one. There is a saying on Italian: "Non c'e' due senza tre".. (There is no second without a third one!) Paris, Nicole, and now Lindsay.
+++ SHORT BREAK OVER +++
(Okay, okay, it was a bizz-trip to Milan)
16.07./31.07. - (contactmusic.com) "LATEST: The German Protestant Church has attacked TOM CRUISE over his Scientology beliefs, likening the actor to the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. .. And now the German Protestant Church has further ignited the feud by comparing the actor to one of Hitler's closest allies, renowned for his zealous and outspoken nature. Thomas Gandow, the Church's chief spokesman on religious cults, dismissed Cruise's controversial religion as a "totalitarian organisation" with the Top Gun star equivalent to "the Goebbels of Scientology". Gandow added, "This film (Rubicon) will have the same propaganda advantages for Scientology as the 1936 Olympics had for the Nazis."" - No, in a way I do not think that he will have an easy life overthere.. I do not know exactly the reason why.. he has all my sympathy, poor Cruise! I dislike what is totalitarian on this earth, but I know, that Tom is a wonderful person.
(People) ""It was nice to get out there," Beckham told reporters afterward.
Victoria "Posh" Beckham cheered for her husband in a box with their three children, as well as Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise and Tom Cruise's mother Mary Lee Mapother. Others scattered through the stadium included Longoria, Olsen, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Alicia Silverstone and rocker husband Chris Jarecki, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Drew Carey.
Then there was the soccer. The sold-out stadium crowd erupted in cheers even when Beckham simply stood up from the bench and began stretching. And chants of "Beckham, Beckham" took over the stadium as he entered the game after the 77th minute." - It was a soccer match, but it was more a glamourous event with all that stars at the stadium than something else. The debut of Beckham seems to have had success. That's gorgeous! - Well, Backham makes soccer in the US very popular and something, which is more than just a sport, so "Viva Beckham, olé "!
(PNN) "Dort wurde der Sprengstoff fuer das Hitler-Attentat aufbewahrt / Heute offiziell Drehstart fuer „Valkyrie“ (18.7. 2007).
Bis jetzt war alles nur Vorspann: Ab heute steht Hollywoods umstrittener Superstar Tom Cruise als Hitler-Attentaeter Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg vor der Kamera. Auf dem Flugplatz Loepten, knapp 70 Kilometer suedlich von Potsdam, faellt die erste Klappe fuer „Valkyrie“. Der 80 Millionen US-Dollar teure Film soll die Geschichte Stauffenbergs und des Plans „Walkuere“ der Verschwoerer vom 20. Juli 1944 erzaehlen.Gedreht wird bis Ende Oktober in Potsdam, Berlin und Brandenburg – vornehmlich an Originalschauplaetzen. Dazu gehoert die „Loewenvilla“ in der Potsdamer Gregor-Mendel-Straße 26. Dort hatte Oberstleutnant Fritz von der Lancken den Sprengstoff fuer das gescheiterte Attentat vom 20. Juli 1944 aufbewahrt, bis Stauffenbergs Fahrer ihn abholte – auf den Tag genau heute vor 63 Jahren. Jetzt ist die Villa bereits gut sichtbar als Drehort vorbereitet: Der Bau ist eingeruestet, die Fenster werden mit schwarzen Stoffbahnen verdunkelt. Vier Wochen soll die Villa ab sofort fuer Cruise und die Crew zum Dreh zur Verfuegung stehen. Das bestaetigten auch Mieter des Hauses; der Eigentuemer allerdings sagte auf PNN-Anfrage, er koenne dies „nicht bestaetigen“." - Yes, yes, yes, Berlin and Potsdam are pure history.. and what kind of history! Berliners show it each day. But, I love history-movies! I really do.
"London (RPO)
. Kylie Minogue liebt einen Hund so wie ein leibliches Kind. Dabei handelt es sich um Jagdhuendin "Sheeba", die nach wie vor bei Kylies Ex-Freund Olivier Martinez lebt. Fuer das Gassigehen reist die Pop-Diva angeblich sogar regelmaessig von London nach Paris. Auch wenn die Beziehung zu Martinez der Vergangenheit angehoert, nimmt Kylie Minogue demnach einiges auf sich, um Sheeba zu fuehren. Fuer die Spaziergaenge fahre die Saengerin regelmaessig mit dem Eurostar-Zug von London nach Paris, berichtete das britische Boulevard-Blatt "Sun"." - The breeder of Sheffield told me, that to have them is like having a child from 3-5 years old, and to treat him like that. I have been humanizing him, and I am really happy about it. Both, Brandon and Sheffield are simply a joy, and it does not matter, if I cannot go to the sea, because they cannot enter all over the places. I do this "sacrifice", because they give me a lot, and it is nothing in return. But, I will find a solution to do both from time to time, to enjoy the time with them AND to go to the sea. What I want to say is, that I can understand very well Minogue, if she does such things for a dog. What I do not understand is people make animal presents to people, that would never want a pet at home, or abandon them during the holiday seasons! I condemn it.
(People) "David and Victoria Beckham have already caused quite a stir in the
states. But this weekend the British imports are going to be treated
like Hollywood royalty.
None other than power couples Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith will host a private party for the Beckhams at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday. " - It is so kind of them to throw a party for them! I would appreciate it a lot!..
(People) "Lindsay Lohan quietly surrendered to Beverly Hills police Thursday to be formally booked on misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and hit-and-run stemming from a car crash last May.
Lohan, 21, arrived at the station at 4:15 p.m. and was released on $30,000 bail about an hour later, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Web site. She was accompanied by her attorney, police say. " - I almost cannot believe this morning, what my eyes are reading.. is she going to be the next - or even third one - to risk jail for some vodka? Gosh! Speechless. What kind of center is "Premises" in reality?! Oh, it was in May.. okay, everything is fine now.
(People) "With wife Katie Holmes back in the States, Tom Cruise marches ahead with work engagements in Berlin on Wednesday, reportedly heading to the set of his new film in style – via helicopter." - So, no odds can stop Tom Cruise to make a movie there, wow! That's cool! But, what a pitty, that I cannot be involved into this project.
(People) "With her career getting back on track after several years of
self-imposed exile, Winona Ryder is talking for the first time about
her December 2001 arrest after she'd been videotaped trying to make off with merchandise from the Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue.
"I didn't have this tremendous sense of guilt, because I hadn't hurt anyone," Ryder tells Vogue magazine for its August cover story. "Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience."
Her personal reaction, she says, was "I never said a word. I didn't release a statement. I didn't do anything. I just waited for it to be over." .. And while her past boyfriends have included such famous men as Matt Damon, Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and Johnny Depp, Ryder says she's still looking for the right man for her. "You know how people ask, 'Who is the love of your life?' God, I hope I haven't met that person yet, in a way, because I'm single," she says. "I hope I haven't had that, since that would be sad."" - It is for sure a huge difference between harm somebody or not. And, I hope I haven't met that person yet (just friendships), too, cause I am stil single. But, I hope to date soon, because a love is a huge treasure, and it makes feel extremely happy. It is time to feel better, don't You all think so?!
(tgcom) "Aria di tempesta in casa Jolie-Pitt. Angelina ha infatti minacciato di buttare fuori casa Brad dopo aver scoperto che è uscito a pranzo con la sua ex, Jennifer Aniston. Senza contare che, per l'incontro galeotto, l'attore ha "usato" la loro bimba Shiloh. Secondo una fonte, infatti, Brad avrebbe detto a Angie di portare la piccola a fare un giro. Una passeggiata che in realtà si è trasformata in un lunch con la ex. Angelina è furiosa. Tanto da fare una litigata folle in pubblico con il compagno. Chi l'ha vista giura che aveva persino le vene che le uscivano dal collo. Inutili persino le scuse di Brad che si è giustificato dicendo che l'incontro con Jen è stato puramente casuale." - E' la stessa tattica che usó Jolie nei confronti di Brad, e pare che funzioni, dato che Brad e' un bel po che sta con lei..
(tmz) "Paris Hilton hung out with her tongue out this weekend on the beach
near her Malibu home. The airhead heiress was the spitting image of her
new teacup pup." - Cute! This is something my Pekinese Brandon do from time to time, too. But, could it be, that it is too hot for the puppy out there with a coat or whatever it is on?! I have to keep my dogs short-cut and wet, because it is almost too hot here. Also Spears bought recently a new pup. I love them all!
(Splash News Online) "New LA Galaxy signing, David Beckham has now launched himself into the wonderful world of cyber space and started up his very own blog site. And to think people always used to tease Becks for his lack of vocabulary! Now look at him, he has his own blog. The soccer star, says he’s surprised that it has taken him so long to get his own website. Next to a picture of him wearing his own-brand DVB shades, Beckham writes: “Hi everybody, Thanks for joining me on davidbeckham.com - it does seem incredible that in all my time playing professional football, I haven’t had my own website. So here it is at last. - Congrats for being now member of the "blog-club" and of the ones that have a website of its own. But, as per July, 9th of the past week, I must write just few words.. : ""
We are the Champions, and You are not!".. :-D)
