I’m off to Berlin later today under the pretext of a conference. Since Heather and Kate now both have jobs in the real world, there isn’t anyone to cover for me here so I’m going to do my best at keeping the site up to date while I’m over there. Apologies if there aren’t as many stories as usual though.
Now, can anyone recommend anywhere for currywurst?
I really like how outspoken Helen Mirren is. I love that she’s got to the point in her career that she can admit taking drugs or say controversial things without worrying it’ll stop Disney hiring her or whatever. But she’s really sending out the wrong signals here.
No means No. No means no even if you’ve said yes at the club but then changed your mind when you’ve got back to his place. No means no even if you’re wearing a short skirt so “asking for it”. No means no even if it’s your husband or boyfriend and you’ve had sex with them countless times before.
Rape is not just something that happens between strangers in dark alleys. It’s something that happens in bathrooms, on sofas and in marital beds.
Yes, it’s “tricky” for those situations to get to court - it’s “tricky” enough for a violent rape by a stranger to get to court - but that doesn’t stop them being rape. And sometimes the most “tricky” things to do are the most important.
If you’ve been raped in whatever circumstances, contact a rape support group - such as Rape Crisis in the UK. They will support you whether or not you want to take the case to the police.
Cor, doing that was more fun than working ;)
The hair in the pigtails isn’t quite right - it’s Judy Garland’s hair recoloured so it’s a completely different texture and I couldn’t get the colour right - but aside from that, I’m pretty pleased with it.
I tried putting her tattoos on the arm as well but it didn’t really work out - a shame because she looks a little too pale skinned at the moment. :)
I feel like I’ve been neglecting the non-news bits of Fametastic lately because I’ve had sinusitis for just ages now and there is only so much work I can do before my head feels like it’s going to explode - writing up the day’s gossip has been interspersed with lots of hot drinks (for the steam), lying down and generally hoping that my ear drum won’t perforate from all the pressure build up. FUN.
Anyway, had a few random thoughts about things from recent days so I thought I’d write a quick blog about them.
Ok, admittedly I’m not a baby person - I never have been and don’t plan on giving birth to any myself - but even in the topsy-turvy world of Hollywood and celebrities, are the pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s new twins worth $14million? I don’t think so.
From a “mini-them” point of view, I find it much more interesting to see pictures of their older daughter Shiloh - or Shiloh’s contemparies such as Violet Affleck - where you can see the parents’ features really beginning to shine through in an intriguing way — these pictures just don’t have that charm for me. Maybe it’s because I’m not a baby person so not used to looking at them that small but these babies just look like any random few week old babies to me.
What do you think about the pictures? Are you interested in seeing them? Should they have sold them or not? One of the arguments for selling them is that the paparazzi will be less frantic about trying to get that elusive first picture - do you think that’s the case or will the paparazzi still be after them for the first non-posed pictures?
Cor, my subconscious is a trouble-maker sometimes - I didn’t intend to put Pete Doherty’s “What Katie Did Next” video next to a story about Kate Moss, it just worked out that way without me (consciously) realising.
On the topic of Pete Doherty and my subconscious, I had another dream about him this week. We were walking around a market together, chatting about nothing in particular, but for some reason, he was about half the size he normally is. A little strange.
