Butterfly On A Wheel

A friend of mine shared to me his thoughts about the movie he saw just recently. I was surprised that he called me just to tell me about his thoughts on the last movie he saw. But since he is such a good friend, so I just allowed him to pour his thoughts on what I first thought of as a petty outburst.

It turns out, I was in for an emotional confession. Yes, a man who confessed his deepest secret to me out of a Pierce Brosnan movie. Weird, isn't it?

But then I was actually thankful for the talk. It has been a long time since I sawmy friend like that. Sincere and broken. The very elements that I seldom find in men these days.

I also kind of amazed at how powerful the media is in influencing people's lives. I hope there will be more movies like this that actually delivers compelling message about family, trust, and love.

Donda West died of plastic surgery complications

Kanye West's Mom, Donda West, died from complications of plastic surgery. This is quite a sad news to Kanye and to his family and friends.

I have nothing against plastic surgery but I guess people should really think twice before they even think of altering their bodies for whatever reason. Plastic surgery is a major operation which carries risks and complications. It is quite dangerous to put your life on the line just for the sake of looking good.

My sympathies to the West family for this tragic event.

Jewel, are those breast implants?

This is not one of Jewel's best moments. She is a fine-looking girl but this she looks wretched in this pic. It must be because of those breast implants that don't look so good. Or are they? They are too small to be implants. Perhaps Jewel was just using a push-up bra. But then again, if she was, then she must have done it the wrong way.

I have seen a lot of female celebrities wearing a push-up bra and they looked so good in them.

The Invasion

The Invasion has Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig in the cast. I should commend Nicole for a job well done. She is very effective for the role and I think she really should at least get a nomination from this. Daniel Craig, on the other hand, didn't shine in this movie. Perhaps because of the hairstyle or something, I am not really sure. He must have been confined in the small role he has to play. His lines were very limited then.

The Invasion is based on the famous novel Body Snatchers and I think the film director did a decent job of capturing the novel's best moments. It was indeed scary to note that you will become a different person once you contract the virus.

Here's the synopsis of the movie:

A space shuttle mysteriously crashes on Earth, and an extraterrestrial disease in the wreckage begins infecting human beings. A psychiatrist from Washington, D.C., Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman), and her colleague Ben Driscoll (Daniel Craig) discover that the transformation caused by the infection is triggered by REM sleep, robbing the victims of their humanity. As the infection spreads, fewer people can be trusted. Fighting to stay awake, Carol looks for her son, who may hold the answer to stopping the invasion.

I think the movie is great and I enjoyed it very much.

Eddie Murphy is a good father

From justjared:

Deadbeat daddy Eddie Murphy defends himself to Entertainment Tonight via a statement on his behalf.

“Eddie Murphy always has and will continue to honor his responsibilities as a father. Mr. Murphy and Ms. Brown dated very briefly and never made any plans of ANY sort. He acknowledges paternity of the child Angel, and has paid child support to Ms. Brown as well as covering the expenses of her pregnancy. Mr. Murphy views this as a private matter and as such, will not be making any further comments about it.”

In a press conference earlier this week, Mel B’s attorney Gloria Allred alleged that Eddie has not paid a penny in financial support.

I can't stand this guy. I mean he looks funny on TV and on the big screen but considering that he lied about the child support is beyond me. He even got the nerve to defend himself when he clearly isn't doing anything to prove that he is a good father to his children.

I don't know. I just couldn't understand why guys like him even have children.

Jessica looks hot on the cover of Harper's Bazaar

Jessica Simpson has gone through a lot already in her personal life and career but still she remains proud and sexy despite all of it. Come to think of it. Her movies flopped and her recent album didn't do very well on the sales and hit charts department. But still, you can see her everywhere, as if she is the most famous star of all.

Jessica doesn't look bad. She is indeed a beautiful woman. But I think she has to do something more with her life in order to gain the respect that she deserves. I think she is a good girl. And the fact that we don't see her partying hard, drinking booze and all that, that's a good sign she won't become the next Britney or Lindsay.

I hope to see more of this girl's talent. Sans the slutty roles and image.

Paris Hilton will be receiving special treatment

TMZ reports that Paris Hilton's cell mate has already been selected. Poor girl. An inmate who is doing time for reckless driving will be Paris' official company inside the cell. Sources tell TMZ that jailers were looking for someone who believe will not try to cash in on Hilton's stay. The woman is said to be already inside the cell waiting for Paris' arrival.

TMZ's sources say a "written protocol" has already been prepared especially for Paris' stay, detailing "when and how things should be done for her."

It looks like Paris Hilton is gonna be receiving some special pampering from the jailguards after all. Well, I don't really want something bad to happen to the heiress but I just don't like the fact that when you're rich and famous, you get to stay in jail the same way that you stay in a hotel. Well, justice is served for her but then again, the special treatment is a huge taint of injustice still.
