Ronaldo's mother is absolutely amazing

Everything about her in this picture is so terribly wrong that it becomes right. This is what Edina Monsoon would look like if she was Portugese and had a famous son.

Ladies and gents, Dolores Aveiro - future style icon on the 21st century.

I can't believe it's been a whole year already

BEEF

Is it really, terribly bad that I totally have a crush on Mr Beefcake himself, Channing Tatum?



I watched Stop-Loss the other night and am now crushing over this dude in a bad way. I'll get over it in a few (years) days, I always do...

Someone else that everyone (even people I'm sure I don't even know) know that I would marry in Vegas at the drop of the hat is Even Stevens himself, Mr LaBeouf. He's been lying low for a while (damn him!) ever since he, you know, got drunk, decided to give his co-star a ride home, smashed into someone else, totalled his truck and destroyed most of the bones in his left hand (oh come on, we've all done it...) but it seems the he has once again won the favours of the public, as he has just been voted the 4th best actor of the year (right after Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr and, erm, someone else). Which is great news. Here's hoping he goes out to celebrate with Billy Bob Thornton again, like last time, when he got blitzed and ended up getting arrested after refusing to leave a Walgreens. Honestly, there is nothing I do not like about that boy.

So this time next week, I will be here:



Sunny, sorry, freezing cold Prague, here I come for a jolly jaunt away from this recession bitten depressant of a country. Beer is a quid and it houses the Mucha museum. Oh, I wont ever want to leave.

If you see one film this Christmas...

...make it this one.



Roll on Friday 19th...

WTF?

Trying to ban swearing in Preston? Good luck...

I vant to drink your blaaaad...

So, this whole Twilightmania thing has been a source of quiet intrigue for me now for some months. The first I heard about it was at the start of the year; there was an article about it in the paper, questioning why on earth this vampire love story, written by a 30-something year old Mormon that she based on a dream she’d had, had become so enormously popular. ‘A cult book about vampires, why the hell haven’t I heard of this?’ I pondered, so at my next available chance I headed out and made the purchase. It’s a pretty good read. The story is fab, it’s like, Notebook passionate but all about vampires and werewolves (which in my world makes it infinitely better) and the fact that the leading man could, at any time, decide ‘Fuck this, there’ll be other girls, I’m totally just going to kill this bitch’ and sink his teeth into her neck makes it pretty sexy. But, and with no disrespect to the author at all, it’s no Lord of the Rings. So I really, really didn’t get the whole pandemonium that was going on in the States at all. The movie has gotten the biggest opening in 2008 after Batman, for Christ’s sake! I haven’t seen it yet so I guess I have to hold judgement, but hearing things like that only makes me a gazillion times more intrigued by this whole thing than I already am. People just keep telling me ‘Oh, its just another case of a low budget cult-movie becoming popular’ but Donnie Darko was a low budget cult that became unexpectedly massive, yet Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t have teenage girls dressed as fucking rabbits throwing themselves at him when he walked down the street. I saw the guy who plays the Vampire being interviewed and he said all these young girls get dressed up as Bella Swan, camp out for like 4 days by some Hot Topic or wherever the hell he’s doing a signing and scrawl ‘BITE ME’ across their necks. That’s just ridiculous. I know Robert Pattinson is like, a grade A fucking beaut, but why cant these kids just put a poster of him on their walls and make do like normal people? It’s bizarre. Stuff like this really weirds me out. Although who knows, I may go and see the movie next weekend, become just as brainwashed and will start going around dressing like Hollyoaks Newt’s new girlfriend.

But I highly doubt it.

Dali, or Mucha?

For today, it'll have to be Dali. One day I'll make my mind up.



I also really love this advert, it's only 30 seconds long but I get excited every time it comes on TV.
