probably shouldn't be wearing in the first place -- and get ready for
Mr. September, Chippendale Ben Bilic.
Chippendales.com's Bosnian dancer is the newest member of the Chips family to be Chippendale of the Month, and following in the footsteps of many greats, Bilic is bringin' the heat up in here! Lawd have mercy!" - There is no woman, who does not know the Chippendales, right?! I attend this show several times, it was gorgeous every time, and it is not vulgar or excessively sexual. Go ahead Chippendales, You all make huge amount of women happy for a while!
(tmz) "A new tell-all about Anna Nicole Smith from former MSNBC journalist
Rita Cosby about alleges that Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead were
secret gay lovers. .. The book also accuses the feuding baby daddies of cutting a secret deal
between them in which Birkhead would get custody of Dannielynn in
return for Stern being named executor of Anna Nicoles estate." - JSS! If it's true, well, I wrote it. She did not die because of a 'natural' death.

Just days after he was rumoured to be dating Croatian supermodel Monika Jakisic, the actor has stepped out at the Italian event with stunning brunette Larson, whose background is a mystery." - Okay, ..ahhhhhhhhhhh, sob, she is not brunette, but red-hair, and... sob, I guess I could also have a chance to come with him, or?! .. sob, sob, sob. Did they really kiss openly, sob?! Sob, sob, sob.. Sarah Larson sounds like Monique Muckermann, or?! Sob, sob, sob.. I have already a lot of reasons to cry, and now this, jss, sob, sob, sob,..

15.08./31.08. - (La Biennale.org) "La storia della Biennale ha radici lontane, inizia quando l'amministrazione comunale di Venezia, guidata dal sindaco Riccardo Selvatico, delibera durante l'adunanza consiliare del 19 aprile 1893 di istituire una Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale, da inaugurarsi l'anno successivo. Messa in moto la macchina organizzativa, la prima Esposizione viene inaugurata il 30 aprile 1895... 1932:
Nasce la Mostra del Cinema: dal 6 al 21 agosto ha luogo la prima edizione dell'Esposizione internazionale d'arte cinematografica, sulla terrazza dell'Hotel Excelsior. Nessun premio previsto, referendum fra il pubblico. Dal 1935 la Mostra diventa annuale. Fra i film premiati anteguerra, Anna Karenina di Clarence Brown, Der Kaiser von Kalifornien di Luis Trenker, Carnet du bal di Julien Duvivier, Olympia di Leni Riefenstahl. Nuova sistemazione della facciata del Padiglione Italia. Nel 1932 e nel 1934 vengono organizzati dalla Biennale due Convegni di poesia." - Some historical aspects of the Festival di Venezia, and some more on here. This year is Hollywood mostly represented with 9 movies - a record even for Venezia.

Ashton Kutcher has a rule when it comes to being photographed with wife Demi Moore – or any woman.
"Your man should not upstage you," Kutcher advises. "He is there to highlight you."
The actor, 29, offers that gem, among others, in an essay on fashion tips that appears in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, on newsstands now. .. "When it comes to getting dressed, men are a little bit more important than handbags but less important than shoes," he writes. "At any rate, we are merely accessories."" - Thinks change, I must admit - funny stuff. Once it was a beautiful woman on the side of a man an accessory, nowadays it's quite the opposite. Is Kutcher also so sicure about his part within the marriage with Demi Moore?! Any complex of inferiority?! Anyway, I would love to have a man with a deep male voice aside one day.. but right now, I guess there is sufficient material in my life for a soup-opera-skript, which could be aired round about 20-30 years - even without one on my side, jss! (Tragedies³ and danger²!) AND, this material is for real!
(La Biennale.org) "Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica. Alle ore 19.00, nella Sala Grande del Palazzo del Cinema, la Cerimonia di apertura condotta da Ambra Angiolini con il Presidente della Biennale, Davide Croff, e il direttore della Mostra, Marco Müller. A seguire, fuori concorso, Venezia 75 di Antonello Sarno e il primo film in concorso, Atonement di Joe Wright.
Il calendario delle proiezioni alla 64. Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica si articola in 11 giorni, dal 29 agosto all'8 settembre." - The film-event after Cannes that follows is in Venezia, a wonderful and beautiful as historical and romantic city on the waters. I have been there with schoolmates during the carnevale, but it's been decades away! Although, my memories are as usual very fresh, and I am sure that nothing has changed in Venezia. By the way, happy birthday, Jason Priestley! (Same day as me! Me, myself, I will party, when I will be out of this personal situation, but mainly out of this flat! I really must go).
(Bild) "Hollywood-Star Owen Wilson hat offenbar versucht, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Das berichten mehrere US-Quellen. Er wurde mit aufgeschnittenen Pulsadern und einer Ueberdosis Tabletten in seiner Wohnung gefunden. Der Schauspieler befindet sich jetzt im Krankenhaus." - This is, what the German Press is writing regarding Wilson's hospitalization. I really hope, that it is not true, cause this is no way out of troubles or problems! - But, it seems it was an attempted suicide.
(contactmusic.com) "A source quoted in U.S. magazine Star claims the couple struck up the arrangement so Holmes can get a peaceful night's sleep. The insider says, "It's a situation that works for both of them. "In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends - Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep! "Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri!" " - Would a man or even a husband be my sleeping problems here! I have no beauty sleep at all since I am here - and as a model I really should need one - but it was even worse in Berlin. I can put the list as follows: the nightmare-neighbours upstairs, the 'flatmates', the fact, that I do not have a room by myself and the bed is not comfortable, the no-respect behaviour of my 'flatmates' (which is .. 'fortunatelly' lowering but just a bit) .. to complete the orange/red-alert situation (caused by all of them).. no, it is at the moment not funny at all.

Sexy Georgie Boy, and cool Cameron topped Forbes.com list of L.A.'s hottest singles. Why was Diaz chosen? Well besides the fact that she's a stunning hottie -- she's also raking in the big bucks." - Is he still single!??!? George, here am I !!!! (Do I really have a chance?! Who knows.. )
(People) "In years to come, Suri Cruise's first-ever Paris visit will be
remembered as an introductory mix of rainy weather shopping, snacks,
Mom's ruined pair of heels and a "strategic" museum nap.
Taking a day trip out of Berlin where Daddy – Tom Cruise – is filming Valkyrie, Katie Holmes brought 16-month-old daughter Suri to Paris for a whirlwind visit on Thursday.
And while the buttery croissants were a hit, the Louvre proved a little too exhausting for the younger traveler. .. Shortly after exiting the restaurant, however, Holmes – in white heels and carrying Suri – was a victim of the slick sidewalk. "Katie slipped and fell," said a bystander. "She seemed a little shocked but protected the baby." - Well, Europe isn't America - in any sense, but also even regarding sidewalks. In Italy, i.e. it can happen that You walk on even ancient sidewalks and streets. They cannot be in order after several/hundreds of years. Me, myself, I take with me two pair of shoes. Mostly because of the unstable weather - it can rain all of a sudden like in the tropics here - but also because of the miles I walk within my shoes. My feet need sometimes other more comfortable shoes. I injured my leg sleeping for weeks - maybe months - on a spring of the mattress it was once in this kind of bed. I still need sometimes a rest also because of it, and because of my knee - I tried once to jump or better climb out of these Italian trains.. Can You imagine me with my two dogs on the dog-buggy (17 kg round about)? A minimum of three to four steps to get into - stairs to get into a train (!), if You aren't lucky! Unbelievable, but often I got and get help from gentle Italians or tourists.
(People) "Nicole Richie served 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for DUI on Thursday due to jail overcrowding, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. ..
"Miss Richie was cooperative during the process," the statement said.
The statement said she was released "based on her sentence and federal court guidelines." Under the current sheriff's policy, non-violent female offenders sentenced to 30 days or less are booked and released within 12 hours. " - "Lindsay Lohan will serve at least 24 hours in jail in her drunken-driving cases under the terms of a plea deal reached Thursday.
Through her attorney, the actress pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine and pleaded no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher and reckless driving.
"Lohan received the same sentence that anyone else with a second DUI conviction would get. She got no special treatment," said Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers. " - Could somebody please explain to me, why Paris Hilton 23 days, and why all of them just a few days?! This is not really clear to me, but of course good for them!
Richie, 25, who's pregnant by Madden, pleaded guilty to DUI on July 27. As part of her sentence, she also agreed to serve a three-year probation term, must enroll in an alcohol education program and was fined $2,048."
(Hello) "Since rekindling their four-year romance, the couple have been extremely careful not to flaunt their relationship ([mm] nearly none web and paper mags did wrote anything about it.. ) .

Desroches Island resort in a luxurious £500-a-night suite containing a romantic four-poster bed ([mm] .. kamasutra needs space).. and overlooking a stunning lagoon.

(Hello) "France's most notorious bumbling policeman was back pounding the
streets this week as Steve Martin reprised his role as Inspector
Jacques Clouseau for Pink Panther 2.
Sporting Clouseau's trademark snooty demeanour, the 61-year-old actor got down to the serious business of dishing out parking tickets to the flashy sports cars that lined the streets of Paris.
The sequel to lasts year's comedy - based on the hit Peter Sellers films - sees Steve's on-screen persona joining forces with a squad of equally hopeless European detectives. Their mission? To stop a continent-hopping thief who specialises in stealing precious historical artefacts." - Steve Martin is been always so funny in his movies, gosh, I already have to start laughing at him and his moustache..
(contactmusic.com) " The homes will be 100 per cent efficient, producing their own electricity, and form part of a development of 18 apartments and a community centre in the Ninth Ward district of New Orleans. The area was left devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Pitt tells website People.com, "It's hard to claim an overall victory when you see how slowly it's still moving." He adds, "We knew we couldn't bring back the families and friends who were lost, bring back the heirlooms and pictures, but maybe, in the process of rebuilding, we could build something smarter to create a better way of life. "Katrina was a man-made disaster. This house here is a man-made solution." " - That's gorgeous!!! A home that has a sort of I-produce-my-own-electricity! This is so innovative! I am really so impressed! In Germany the electricity is really very expensive, thus it could be an incredible pioneering groundbreaking solution to Germany and many other countries, that cannot afford sun-producing-electricity like i.e. the Northern countries (Finnland, Sweden, s.o.). And, I would order to install all over Italy sun-panels, if I were an Italian politician - or as famous and rich as Pitt! Here the sun is so strong, that I am not able to see anything without sun-glasses. My eyes aren't accustomed to this strenght anymore after 14 years of German sun!
(contactmusic.com) "In 1996 Pfeiffer bet the Out Of Sight actor he would be married within ten years. And while Pfeiffer has conceded singleton Clooney, 46, has won the bet - the pair are arguing over the value of the prize. He insists it was for $1000 (GBP500), while she claims it was $100 (GBP50). Pfeiffer, 49, explains, "I'm right. I think age is finally catching up with George. They do say the first thing to go is memory." " - Well, this is George Clooney. He jokes all the time, he bets all the time, it is difficult to take him seriously. I guess he knew pretty well, what he was betting in 1996, and he was joking, when he said, that the bet was for $1000 and not $100! He wants now of course more, because he won! He really has an Italian sense of humour, I can understand him very well!
(networld) "Der italienische Ex-Regierungschef Silvio Berlusconi wandelt auf den Spuren von George Clooney: Wie der US-Star hat sich der Mailaender TV-Zar eine Luxusvilla am Comer See gekauft. Rund zwoelf Mio. Euro hat der italienische Politiker fuer die Villa Belinzaghi in der renommierten Ortschaft Cernobbio ausgegeben, berichteten italienische Medien. .. Immer mehr "VIPs" sind auf der Suche nach Luxusvillen am Comer See. Der drittgroesste See Italiens unweit der Schweizer Grenze steht hoch im Kurs, seit Clooney in der Ortschaft Laglio eine Villa aus dem 19. Jahrhundert erworben hat. Der britische Unternehmer Richard Branson kaufte sich kuerzlich eine Villa in der ruhigen Ortschaft Lenno. TV-Zar Rupert Murdoch will seinem Beispiel folgen - er soll um eine Villa in Blevio verhandeln. (apa)" - I have never been to Como to see the lake, but I am sure it must be a wonderful one, cause George Clooney has a good taste, and we both have a similar taste, as far as I could make comparisons. So, I must go one day there and make a sort of sightseeing tour. I could even meet him there, who knows!
(viply) "(hgm) Bei kaum einem Star gehen die Meinungen so auseinander wie bei
Paris Hilton. Die einen lieben sie, die anderen koennen sie nicht ausstehen. Doch eines muss man ihr so oder so lassen: Sie ist eine geniale Geschaeftsfrau. Was sie anpackt, wird zu Dollars. Ihre gerade erst herausgebrachte Modekollektion (Viply berichtete) ist bereits ausverkauft. Einzig und alleine die Ausstellungsstuecke auf den Schaufensterpuppen sind noch uebrig. Hut ab! " - Congrats! And, by the way, I would buy the golden dress I saw on her, if I could, too!
(contactmusic.com) "Eleven extras on TOM CRUISE's new movie VALKYRIE were injured in a truck accident on the German set on Sunday (19Aug07). The men were hurt when they fell from an open truck during the shoot in Berlin, when the vehicle went round a bend. The filming was immediately halted and the truck has since been taken for examination to determine what went wrong. Cruise was not present at the time of the accident because he had the weekend off. " - Stuff like that can happen to anyone during a filming. That's why everybody should have an insurance, if it is possible. I did not need one, I was and still am very cautious, but it could be better to have one to anyone and not just for legs like Rihanna (she broke recently her finger/toe, her insurance did not pay, because just her legs were insured), but a full cover insurance, which includes also fingers/toes! It must have been a sort of flash-back for berliners, what a shock to see all these uniforms and flags! Some still live as if there were the DDR-regime, and some use the methods of the DDR-regime, believe me! It will take many other decades to forget!
