"[It's a] quality record, .. One that I didn't think she was going to be able to pull off. Again, I will admit that. Straight up and down. I had to eat my words. I tried to call her and apologize for the assumption."

I hope some director in Hollywood reads that and decides to give Lindsay a decent part, whoever does that will have a movie that will go high in the charts.

Everyone already know that I think both Bossy and All The Way Around is awesome.

Now weekend is for other things to make them work by reading long Debian on Macbook Wiki page.

Minister: Can you tell me about anything of real value that the outsiders have brought with them?

Bess McNeill: Uh... their music?

As The Dark Knight continues to dominate the box office numbers even a month after its release, another film that shared the same opening weekend and an accomplishment for breaking records is being brushed underneath the bed. Despite its all star cast and its former life as a successful musical, Mamma Mia! is still being categorized as an underdog against the unstoppable Goliath of The Dark Knight. Though the numbers are not unexpected nor does The Dark Knight not deserve the accolades it is receiving, but Mamma Mia! deserves a little boasting itself.

There is a single line that is being said by both the yay and nay-sayers for the film: "Mamma Mia! is pure fun." On one side, you have the positive interpretation of the line in that the film is a return to the escapist roots of cinema. On the other side, you have the negative understanding where "pure fun" means candy-coated rainbows/"lollipops vomitting Skittles onto the screen" a la the negative reviews of the big screen version of Speed Racer. It is a little too easy to de-merit a film by equating "fun" with lack of substance or lack of societal purpose. In all its glory, Mamma Mia!, as Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle, "isn't a movie. It's vacation." As my dad points out immediately after his viewing of the film, Mamma Mia! in every essence is both a film about escape and one that provokes its audience to escape. The film is align with the films of the 1930s such as those by Busby Berkeley that were products of a country undergoing economic downturn. Meryl Streep et al. provide a nice cinema experience as well as the cheapest way to travel to the Greek Isles.

Perhaps the most off-putting/criticized parts of the film are the performances displayed by the seasoned actors of the cast. It's one thing to see Tony-Award winning actress Christine Baranski in a musical, but it's a whole new thing to see Mr. Darcy and Chuck/Jan Nyman singing in spandex suits. I, too, at parts had a hard time immersing into this new world actors who have played lowly suitors or violent townsmen can be happy people seeking a good time. However, it is this reaction to the film that I found the most interesting about Mamma Mia! Not so much a film illustrating the struggle of a dramatic actor's entrance into the musical world, but an fascinating display on how trained actors translate the form of acting they have been known for into a subcategory of cinema that requires a different type of acting language.

The Winner Takes It All

The "The Winner Takes It All" number marks a pivotal moment in the film where Donna (Meryl Streep) and Sam (Pierce Brosnon) discuss their former life together and the harboring feelings that still remain. It is THE scene where "actor" must come out. The Kramer vs. Kramer Oscar-type acting and musical acting both require an overt, exaggerated form of emotional expression, the two modes still have a little bit of variation between the two. With every emotional lyric, you see Meryl Streep translate her mode of acting we've become used to into the mode necessary in a musical as she is singing. Instead of focusing all her energy on creating subtle facial expressions of pain and joy to be captured in extreme close-ups, Streep moves around on the cliff with arms flaring around, an action that is exaggerated by a red pashmina at hand.

In his critical review of the film, Chris Wisniewski of Reverse Shot writes:

But what does it say about our collective moviegoing habits that the same audiences who mostly spurned Chris Columbus’s Rent (admittedly, no masterpiece) and Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd have turned out in droves for Hairspray and Mamma Mia!? Columbus and Burton take their stories and characters—and the genre—seriously. They use the medium to their advantage, staging their numbers with and for the camera; through framing, camera movement, editing, choreography, or production design, they craft rousing, sometimes resonant cinematic spectacle out of their theatrical raw material. Hairspray and Mamma Mia!, by contrast, are clearly products of a post-musical era, in which the genre itself is treated like a joke, where musical numbers are less displays of technical virtuosity than extended gags, sometimes at the expense of the performers themselves (in Hairspray, John Travolta's pseudo-drag performance becomes a running punchline; Mamma Mia!'s male leads are made equally ridiculous without the aid of dresses or fat suits).

What Chris Wisniewski chooses to gloss over are moments like the "Winner Takes It All" number where acting, a part of the "medium" he doesn't include in his list, highlights the great use of film in translating a stage musical. In the "post-musical era," everything is not simply a "joke." Rather jokes are another opening to the understanding of how a craft can delve into a story that has already been told in another form before.

What did Sky and Sophie do after they left the island? Become a recording duo!

One mag intimated the 14-going-on-37-year-old Ali had a little work done "up top," pointing to a single frame shot recently.

Big sis Lindsay railed on a MySpace celeb blog that mag stands for maggot, claiming the notion that Ali had a boob job is "perverted." Lindsay added, "My mother taught us to appreciate what we've been given!" Wait, they were taught things?

• If I remember correctly this is the first time in a while that Dina and Micheal agreed on something.
• This proved that Cooper is an heartless empty shell.
• Cooper can grab attention/be a comedian.
• Dina is incapable of making a smart one liner.
• and I actually agree with Micheal on something.

So I think Pastor Lohan was right on in his statement on Anderson Cooper:

I think Anderson Cooper is an opinionated, hypocritical idiot who should be an adult and keep his opinion to himself. He is the last person to judge anyone, when he and his own family have their own issues.

So there!

First i installed zenwalk with its native bootloader zenwalk and then got really mad trying to add my ubuntu to the lilo. Sometimes it is better do the old school stuff.

I popped in the ubuntu cd and then restored grub.

Then i added the following lines to my /etc/grub/menu.lst

# Zenwalk Linux
title Zenwalk
root (hd0,9)
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda10 ro quiet splash
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd.splash

Here my zenwalk resides on sda10. Don't get confused with hd0,9 there the numbering starts from 0,1,2 etc..

so if your linux partition is sda4 add them as hd0,3 adn /dev/sda4 at appropriate positions

The next time i had to reinstal zenwalk what i did was i skipped the lilo installation and just added the lines to the grub in ubuntu.

Finally my grub looks something like this

default 3
timeout 10
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic

root (hd0,10)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=6e02197f-3134-49ac-a194-403b23974238 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
quiet

title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode)
root (hd0,10)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=6e02197f-3134-49ac-a194-403b23974238 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic
title Ubuntu 8.04, memtest86+
root (hd0,10)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

title Zenwalk
root (hd0,9)
kernel (hd0,9)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda10 ro quiet splash
initrd (hd0,9)/boot/initrd.splash

If you want to add any windows to grub add this

title Other operating systems:
title Windows XP
root (hd0,xx)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
where xx corresponds to the drive number starting from 0,1,2,....

IF YOU SEE THESE SCISSOR SISTERS:

SHOW NO MERCY.

"Dear everyone that exists,

I am Lindsay Lohan, the new American Lesbian Icon. At any given moment you can find me vomiting in a taco bell parking lot, threatening to shank hood' rats, or taking it up my poop poop for just a little bit of smack.  Young girls look up to me and they think that I am the definition of 5 things

1. Cool

2. hot

3. woman

4. important

5. lesbian

If I don't die suddenly, 2008's generation of 9-16 year old girls will emulate my every move and continue to believe that I represent everything listed above. Please take action and kill me in my sleep.

p.s. I literally wear 19 bracelets on my right forearm at all times and I just thought I'd bring it up because it's incredibley fucktarded."

Do your part, vigilantes.

Has Lindsay Lohan lost her sense of humor?

While hanging out with gal pal Samantha Ronson in Chicago over the weekend, Lindsay played the part of doting girlfriend. DJ Sam worked the Metromix.com party at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and Lindsay fetched her love Diet Coke and texted her from the side of the stage. They even kissed in the DJ booth! However, the mostly-out actress put her foot down when it came to posing with "I Kissed A Girl" singer Katy Perry.

"Linds was asked to pose for a photo with Katy, but she said she wouldn't do it," an eyewitness tells.

Do you think Lindsay should just make it official and confirm that she and Sam are a couple? Or do you think it's nobody's business what she's got going on in the bedroom? Talk back.

Do not listen to tabloid reports that LiLo's bandaged arm indicates she may have tried to kill herself (they really do make up news don't they??), we know the real story -- she went and gots herself all inked up!

A source close to Lindsay tells us the starlet just recently got a new tattoo-- but hasn't revealed what exactly she had permanently marked on her wrist.

"Sam 4 Life" perhaps?  Tell us what you think she inked on her arm.

"Sam 4 Life" perhaps?? I kid, I kid!

After a whirlwind trip to Miami to visit the Ronson family, Lindsay and Samantha were back in LA yesterday lookin' like the Blues Brothers with their matching luggage and travel pillows, awww. Smart thinking girls, you never know what they're going to charge you for on planes these days. While Lindsay's parents kept fighting with Anderson Cooper, the ladies went straight to Barneys before bringing Sam's car for a much-needed wash, and then off to dinner at Chateau Marmont. Lindsay's come a long way since she was living at that hotel, and I'm betting the staff is a lot happier to see this cleaned up LL rather than the one who used to wreak havoc there.

Police chiefs shouldn't get involved in everyone else's business when it comes to their personal life. It's inappropriate.

So today is Barack Obama’s birthday, 4 days before my own birthday might I add and I was surprised that John McCain gave him such a nice gift. In case you missed this gift, I would suggest watching Danish boys dramatically interpret Abba songs on YouTube (I swear I was working)—At least that is where I saw this “gift” for the first time. While we all remember the beauty that was the Paris, Brittney, Barack trifecta ad, I was unaware that McCain was running a parallel banner ad campaign on Myspace, real classy John. That’s right, this beauty right here was paid for by the McCain campaign.

Personally I found the ad a little confusing. I would have thought the question mark was for Nicole Ritchie or Lindsay Lohan (who my mom tragically refers to as LiLo). Then again, I assumed that when clicking the ad I would have to answer a poll entitled “who is the bigger slut”, shoot a monkey with a shotgun shaped cursor, get infected with a virus and then “win” a free iPhone… But Barack Obama?! Naw, I just didn’t believe it.

I just would have expected McCain to get a hint from the press that this ad campaign is tragically desperate, off base and just not resonating well with the public. The only thing more confusing than the ad itself is who McCain was trying to target with this flashy little banner (asides from the vicious blogosphere). I just don’t get it. Chances are the only people watching esoteric YouTube films are either too young to vote, apathetic, not republican or some combination in-between. The guy doesn’t even use the Internet, so why should he be using your tax dollars (public funded campaign (well public financing doesn’t start for a month—but still)) on YouTube mockery?

so i didn't go to work today, because i felt sick down to the core of my tummy. i didn't get out of bed and watched samurai x and aeon flux all day on dvd.

+ check out pete yorn's strange condition.

A atriz teve a coragem de chamar o seu pequeino ex de ridículo por processá-la por agressão!

“Esse processo é baseado em mentiras de Verne Troyer”, disse Holly Bannon, representante da moça.“Na nossa opinião é uma tentativa de publicidade já que seu recente filme “The Love Guru” foi um fracasso”, completou Holly. Já o advogado de Troyer tem outra versão para a história. “Quando você pega um homem de 81 cm de altura e o joga no chão, machuca”, disse o advogado ao site "TMZ". Apesar da declaração, a representante de Ranae disse que quem sofreu agressão física e emocional foi a atriz e o cachorro dela. De acordo com o site "US Magazine.com", Ele batia nos dois depois de beber.A ex-namorada de Verne Troyer foi quem divulgou ao site “TMZ” a fita com cenas "picantes" entre eles. O ator também processa o "TMZ" em US$ 20 milhões (cerca de R$ 32 milhões) por ter divulgado o vídeo.
-Queria dizer para o pequenino que estou do lado dele, e que sei que o judiado foi ele, ok. Senti dózinha ao saber que ele com o seu enorme tamanho foi jogado no chão. MACHUCA, POSHA! :(
Vamos assinar uma petição para mandarem essa cretina para a prisão :(

E outra fofoquinha que eu a-d-o-r-e-i foi a da Lily Allen! A cantora pop está de cabelo cor-de-rosa e foi carregada (bêbada, é óbvio) de uma festa!!!

E só mais uma:
Para mim, a Rihanna está espremendo uma espinha no queixo do Chris, mãããs..
E eu ia parar por aqui, mas fuçando, achei uma notícia da LiLo, e como eu a adoro muito, quero postar.

"Se você perceber, desde que Britney começou a usar roupas e se comportar; Paris saiu da cidade e parou de importunar as pessoas, graças a Deus, e desde que Lindsay Lohan "virou gay", nós não temos muito problemas", disse William, à "KNBC-TV".

Enfim, é isso. O meu trabalho nesse blog é postar notíciar fúteis que encontro no meu amado site de fofoca, o Ego. E que segundo o Rafa, já é um órgão daqui do HEC. Obrigada, e Adeus.

(Actually, I can imagine a person giving that false name at a hospital at 4 am) (I can imagine a false denial, too). (but they immediately called Pa who told about the bike (cyclist or motorbike, sources differ/speculate) and 32d st Club) (and she was in town working in New Jersey, having a continuing role on Ugly Betty).

Anyways you can listen to it on YouTube here, or by scrolling down

She is like WAYYY more talented than any of the other artists I listen to. (Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Jesse McCartney, and Miley Cyrus) She scored a buy here, if her other songs are half this good, she's got a gold album. Oh and the other factor, if the tabloids leave her alone, they really hurt Lindsay, and they'll probably start attacking her for being Lindsay 's sister.  If your one of them, chill. Nobody forces you to listen to/watch anything, and some of us really like pop.

Didn't your momma tell you to look both ways before crossing the street?

Sources tell us Lindsay Lohan was out in NYC last night with gal pal Samantha Ronson, and as they were leaving, Lilo got hit by someone on a bike.

We're told her driver took her to Beth Israel Hospital in Midtown Manhattan and she checked herself out at 4:00 AM.

And yes she is perfectly fine.

To me, she is a great actress who will only improve with time and experience- which I hope she gains now that she seems to have found her footing. I'm also glad that she appears to be happy- and I can't wait to see her next movie (I also can't wait to see her as a redhead again!).

How can you not love LiLo???

This week's token "insider" in Life and Style's "Is Lindsay Lohan Gay?" story must have just gotten back from a super sexy writing retreat at The Summer Literary Seminars or Squaw Valley. Said insider's all up in the metaphors and symbols, telling the magazine what analyzing Lilo and Samantha Ronson's newest jewelery might tell us about their status as a couple:

The matching infinity lock bracelets by Jules Smith?

"The bracelets represent their relationship — they have each other on lockdown, and there's no one else who can open up the key to their hearts.

The matching anchor necklaces?

"... symbolize that they are each other's anchor."

!!!!!!!!!

Wow.....ok........well, as famous, successful and satisfied poets, we feel compelled to advice this particular LiLo "insider" to skip the writing retreats and conferences next year summer in favor of watching Rick Mahorn highlight reels and planning a classy limerick themed wedding for $10,000 and making it look like $40,000. That'll teach her some metaphors.

Thời gian này, Lindsay Lohan mê mẩn tình nhân DJ tóc vàng tới mức không rời nhau nửa bước. Ăn tối, đi shopping hay tới phòng thu, cả hai đều tay trong tay rất thân mật, gắn bó. Thậm chí, cô nàng Lilo xinh đẹp còn tự hào khoe người yêu với bố mẹ như một chàng rể thực thụ.

Tối 18/7, cặp đôi tự tin sải bước tại khu tổ chức tiệc kỷ niệm 10 năm thành lập của Sephora và khiến không ít người phải ngoái nhìn. Lilo diện đầm ngắn gợi cảm, thẹn thùng đi bên "chàng" Samantha áo phông và sơ mi khoác ngoài cùng quần jeans rất "đàn ông". Để tạo sự đồng điệu, đôi tình nhân chọn cho mình hai chiếc mũ phớt rất trẻ trung và phong cách .

Đầu tuần vừa rồi, bạn gái của em trai Samantha, Daisy Lowe đã tiết lộ với tờ Daily Mirror: "Họ đang thực sự hạnh phúc. Thật là một cặp đôi tuyệt vời. Họ không đến với nhau vì bất cứ mục đích nào khác ngoài tình yêu. Chắc chắn cả hai đều hài lòng với tình cảm ngọt ngào họ dành cho nhau".

Tuy nhiên, theo Dailymail, cặp tình nhân này vẫn chưa tiết lộ bất cứ thông tin nào về dự định kết hôn của họ trong thời gian tới.
