Last week Catherine Zeta-Jones checked herself into rehab for Bipolar II Disorder after a stressful familial year (her husband Michael Douglas has throat cancer).
This week, reports are flooding in that she has signed a deal to be in the movie version of "Rock of the Ages" in a newly created role, and that she is quite excited about it. I am not sure if she is still in rehab at this point.
"Freedom of press" issues over Williams' divorce

Ex-colonel's (soon-to-be-ex) wife's records and name are now banned from being printed or mentioned in any media.
Media lawyers say that this encroaches on "freedom of the press". I think that they are completely insensitive to Williams' wife, and I completely agree with the judge who ruled this and I hope that she doesn't back down on her decision.
What do you think?
Shelties rescued in Japan, many still wandering radiated towns

After seeing a picture from the Associated Press showing shelties in one of the abandoned towns in Japan near the nuclear facilities, a Japanese woman decided to orgnanise a rescue. They saved a dozen or so animals, but many still wander the streets in the radiation-infested town.
It breaks my heart to hear that so many of these dogs will die from radiation... I so depise nuclear technology!!!
Sweetened Politics?... Oxymoron or fact?

A bakery in Ottawa now makes cupcakes per political parties, such as the Bloc Brownie, the apparent favourite. Obviously, this does not reflect how people will vote, but it's a cute idea all the same/

Documentarian killed in Lybia (click here)
'Restrepo' director Tim Hetherington killed in Libya
"All obituaries are hard to write, but some are tougher than others. It’s truly sad to have to report that talented Restrepo co-director and dedicated war photographer Tim Hetherington has been killed while covering the fighting in the Libyan town of Misrata. Hetherington, born in 1970, had been covering war zones and trouble spots for years, travelling everywhere from West Africa to Afghanistan and most recently – fatefully – Libya. A tough-skinned realist, he looked to bring the harsh realities of lives in combat to the world’s attention, and won several prizes for his work documenting wars, suffering and fear. “I don’t go to war for the adrenaline rush. I cover wars because that’s what I’ve ended up doing,” is how he described his career to Empire when we talked to him last year when Restrepo, based on his experiences ebedded with troops in Afghanistan, came out. The documentary, which Hetherington crafted alongside fellow Vanity Fair contributor Sebastian Junger, ended up with the Grand Jury Prize for documentary at Sundance and scored a well-deserved Oscar nomination. "Tim was one of the bravest photographers and filmmakers I have ever met," ABC News' James Goldston tells The Hollywood Reporter. "During his shooting for the Nightline specials he very seriously broke his leg on a night march out of a very isolated forward operating base that was under attack. He had the strength and character to walk for four hours through the night on his shattered ankle without complaint and under fire, enabling that whole team to reach safety." Fellow correspondent Chris Hondros was also reportedly killed (though that has yet to be confirmed) and two others, Guy Martin and Michael Christopher Brown were injured in the incident. |
