Feb20- Paris Hilton Hacked, by Mistress
I hope all of you lovely people had a peek at Paris Hiltons Address
Book, Notes and Photos. I wont post them because, well cuz I wanna keep
my site and avoid contact with the FBI. It was quite easy information
to find for a good half a day. Phone numbers included the likes of Eminem,
Fred Durst, Christina Aguilera, Ashley Olsen and more. Notes were less
than academic, including mostly comments about where she was going to
party and a seemingly interesting note about getting paid for a non
specific video. Her pictures were somewhat more thrilling, involving
topless shots with either a very feminine looking man or a really manly
looking female- take your pick. I wondered though, is this an act of
hacking, cracking or just carelessness on her part? Many people are
quick to say ahaha that dumb bitch got her sidekick hacked, but its
just as easy for the rest of us to have our phones hacked into. And
a simple mistake we all make is to too easily give away passwords- here
check out there this email I got- then you use that same password elsewhere.
So my advice for the day is keep your passwords secret, make em complicated
and change them often.

I guess Brad and Jennifer breaking up is somewhat old news by now. I
was saddened by the breakup, I thought they were the perfect couple
but then I thought Nicole and Tom were the perfect couple too. You feel
bad for them because the reporters were posting 'the ring is off' 'the
ring is back on' and so on. Then I saw a numerologist on the Tony Danza
show who suggested the reason things werent working out was precisely
because Jennifer needs that insane level of attention she got on Friends.
I thought wow that makes a lot of sense, but so does the idea that it
was mostly over a baby. I doubt Angelina Jolie had much to do with it,
but hey, I'd do her if I could. I guess we'll never know the whole story
and we'll just have to hope they all find happiness. Or screw em, theyre
rich and beautiful, why do they need to be happy too?
OLD NEWS---'03

Tracy Turnblad ten years after dating Link Larkin. Her mom's gone on
a big diet but maintained the nasally voice and re-adapted her old views
on being too fat for tv. Throw in a beauty pageant, some bad dialogue,
two Debbie Gibson songs and the made for tv movie setting and you've
got Beautiful Girl. Honestly, I think it's pretty bad when my entertainment
writer, BroadwayGuy, says something couldn't hold his attention and
he changed the channel at the first commercial. The message is still
great, love yourself, you dont have to be a barbie to be beautiful.
But they didn't say it quite as well as Hairspray. And why do a movie
with a plot so similar to such a great musical? Is she trying to type
cast herself? The Hairspray references didn't help either. I'm
all for a chubby girl whose proud of her great tits (looks down) but
im sure she couldve found something else to make a movie about.
9/5
Well I was going to write a big thing about the MTV Video music awards
but really the only thing worth mentioning was Madonna kissing Britney
and Christina who were basically her back up singers for her performance.
Very sexy but completely done for show, Im sure this scene insulted
more than one gay activist.
Short Movie Review: Marci X is a pretty bad movie with some hysterical
parts. The movie stars Lisa Kudrow and Damon Waynes. The plot is that
of a rich daughter of a record label owner who tries to smooth out issues
over a controversial rapper and ends up falling in love. The movie's
original music was done by Marc Shaiman and the dancing was choreographed
by Jerry Mitchell and as such is filled with broadway stars in bit roles.
My personal favorite is of course the wonderfully talented Matthew Morrison
as a gay boy band member. I sat there, slightly tipsy, praying he would
have to kiss Manley Pope, who I dont even like.

NYU had a showing of Hedwig and The Angry Inch at the Kimmel Center
yesterday. After the showing John Cameron Mitchell, director-writer-star
of the movie, spoke with the audience. I was pretty impressed with him.
Funny guy. Some girl went up on stage just to hug him for how nicely
he spoke about sex. He talked about the myth behind the movie and one
of the things he said that stuck in my mind was "theres the way
things are and then theres the way things should be and the tension
between the two is where the drama lies." This couldn't be truer
and it should be even more apparent in his next movie which is currently
being workshopped, The
Sex Film Project. No doubt it was a Stern student who asked
how he would market such a racy movie which is expected to be sexually
explicit and unrated but Mitchell just replied: It has SEX in it! Jokes
aside he acknowledged that the movie would not be embraced for the mainstream
media but that with a low enough budget there should be enough theatres
out there to bring this movie to all major cities and make some money.
I will be keeping an out for this new film, a totally improv full length
film sounds quite exciting to me.

Movie Review!
Pirates of Carribean is a wonderful movie. Now before I get ahead of
myself this movie will seem less than amazing to those of you who go
into it looking for a serious film. Think of it as a kids movie. There
are immature repeated jokes about a pirates eye falling out and many
scenes from this move come straight out of the Disney ride! Who wouldn't
like a movie starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom anyway? Depp is
the absolute ultimate at playing offbeat weirdos and this witty, slurring,
swaying, girlish pirate suits him just fine. If you liked Orlando Bloom's
confused concentrating face from LOTR, you'll see the same expression
a few times here too. He even impersonates Depp's character in one scene.
Geoffrey Rush is the villain and as always proves himself a very dynamic
actor. You will infact recognize most if not all of the leads in this
movie, but thankfully this movie didnt suffer from toomanynames syndrome.
And lastly, I must say I am always impressed when CGI doesn't drive
me absolutely batty. This movie used graphics beautifully. I am convinced
that the key to successful CGI is the use of grey scale but perhaps
a more indepth discussion on that next time. See this movie!

Missing Oscar Statuette Found
FBI agents in Florida working on a drug investigation have recovered
one of the three Oscars still missing from the 2000 awards show when
55 of them were stolen. The other 52 were found nine days after the
ceremony in a dumpster. Three men were arrested and convicted of the
theft. Details of the recent find have not yet been disclosed because
the drug investigation is still ongoing.

The Oscars.
This years Oscars was marked by poor fashion sense topped by bad politics.
Lets start with the clothing. I hopped over to E! Online's website to
remind myself of what most people wore. As I looked at their fashion
police pages, I found myself disagreeing with them on a number of people.
Now, I may not be the expert Ms. Rivers is but I took a number of classes
in fashion design and I think I have enough knowledge of design as an
artist to comment, besides it's my website. I don't know what was up
with all the sheer shtuff randomly stuck in the middle of dresses this
year. Hilary Swank looked ridiculous in her short dress with longer
sheer chiffon around the skirt. Nicole Kidman surprised me by wearing
another terrifying dress. An asymmetrically harnessed black empire-waist
sheer skirted Gaultier gown that looked like unraveling toliet paper
to me. Some risks just don't pan out. Cameron Diaz- another ugly black
dress with too much sheer and opposing lines. Julianne Moore's strapless
Yves St. Laurent gown, while an appropriate color for her complexion,
emerald, did nothing for her figure. Diane Lane looked pretty but only
from the waist-up in an off-the-shoulder pale peach sparkly strapless
gown with a frothy chiffon bodice. The Best Dressed? Salma Hayek's stunning
Carolina Herrera beaded black lace sleeveless top and full white satin
skirt was my second favorite dress of the night, losing out only to
Kate Hudson whose gorgeous pale yellow gown that seemed to match her
hair color, but not her purse unfortunately, had a timeless look to
it that I felt no other dress had. Mens clothing never really has any
great affect on me. The only notably odd looking 'tux' was Sean Connery's
ruffled poet shirt which seemed to be covered by something more like
a sports jacket. Jack Nicholson wore some curious shades throughout
the broadcast as well.
The news updates during commercial breaks and the war in general added
a sort of somber tone to this years show. No one expected the show to
go off without anyone expressing a political stance but I hoped for
it anyway. There were a number of classy, easy to swallow comments like
Adrien Brody's and who could argue Susan Sarrandon's decision to give
a peace sign? In the end, no one wants war. I almost don't think
Michael Moore's comments deserve my attention, knowing in the end that's
what he wants. His comments were as follows: On behalf of our producers,
I'd like to thank the Academy. I've invited my fellow nominees on the
stage with us, and they are here in solidarity with me, because we like
nonfiction. We like nonfiction, and we live in fictitious times. We
live in a time when we have fictitious election results that elect a
fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending
us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fiction of duct tape
or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush!
Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you!" I honestly thought the best
part of his speech was when the microphone began to disappear. He has
a right to his opinion, but he showed little to no class having cheers
turn to boos in about ten seconds flat.
Aside from that, there were some pretty good performances and not too
many shockers- aside from maybe Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' winning and
Gang's of New York losing in all ten of the categories it was nominated
for.

Somebody please take me to the hospital...I'm dying of heartbreak. Actor
Russell Crowe (who I thought was supposed to be mine!) is getting *gasp*
MARRIED. The lucky lady is Danielle Spencer, who is an actress and musician,
though she's never been a part of any big hit movies or had any popular
songs. Hold out on that stretcher for me though, the date set is mid
to late 2003.
~Keepin' the dream alive,
Starfire

Jason Priestley
Seriously injured himself when he lost control of his car in a race
car driving competition. The car collided with a wall head on. Not many
people know the actor took up racing cars since his role in 90210 but
the story definitely made the papers.
Amelie
is an adorable French movie about a girl who grows up with really strange
parents and how that affects her as an adult. Its a comedy and is more
or less considered a chick flick but my brother enjoyed it! Rent it!

People's Best and Worst Dressed List
Ok so People's "Worst and Best Dressed Lists" are out.
Wanna know who made the cut? And who got cut off? Ok here's how everyone
stacked up. Best dressed : Julia Roberts, Cathrine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer
Aniston, Gwnyeth Paltrow, Venus Williams, and surprise surprise both
Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz are on the best dressed list. Hmmm I
wonder who's sick joke was that? In any event, I thought it was pretty
funny. - The Worst Dressed List went as follows : Serena Williams, Michael
Jackson ( I disagree on that People Magazine ) Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Christina Aguilera ( ok she has her horrifying days, but she also has
some nice shit! ) and Mena Suvari ( personally I think she has the fucking
hottest clothing I have ever seen. I love her 70's style ) That's it
for now, but i'll keep you informed.
Peace and Hairgrease, Lisa
Ghosts Of Mars
Opens tomorrow and Paul Crook along with Anthrax did the score for
the movie! The commercials look quite interesting and the movie seems
action packed, I dont think Ive ever been to a movie merely because
of its music but I guess there is a first time for everything! Go see
it!
Rock On, Mistress
GLITTER!
Ok so by now, you all must know that Ms. Carey is out of the hospital
and that her movie will be pushed back to from August 31st to September
21st. The soundtrack to the movie "Glitter" will be pushed
back to September 11th as well. Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait
a little while longer to see her in her staring role debut. Feel better
Mariah.
Peace and Hairgrease, Lisa
JLO
Ok so here's a little entertainment news for eveyone, J.Lo insists
that she
is not pregnant and that her parents would kill her if she got pregnant
before she got married. Hmmm but they don't seem to mind her running
around without any clothes on right but they would be furious if she
was pregnant before marriage? Interesting.
~ Peace & Hairgrease, Lisa
Buffy
Ok so who saw the series finally of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? For those
who didn't the Buffster dies at the end, and finally comes face to face
with a force greater than herself and is defeated. The alleged motivation
for the WB killing of Buffy is that the series is moving to UPN 9 and
they wanted to screw them over. The WB execs are actually quite smart
in that aspect, however Buffy died during an episode by The Master a
couple seasons ago and was brought back to life, so I don't think that
is going to seriously set back UPN's taping of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Nice try though Warner Bros., nice try.
Peace and Hairgrease, Lisa
New Movie
Hey who remembers the movie Apocolypse Now directed by Francis Ford
Coppola? "I love the smell of napom in the morning" ring a
bell? Well guess what? The award winning movie commenting on America's
involvement in the Vietnam War is being remade. I saw a poster for the
movie in the 68th street movie theatre the other day when I went to
see Tomb Raider. I'll have more detials on when and how will be staring
in the movie as the release date draws nearer.
Peace and Hairgrease, Lisa
Rest in Peace
