Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Plot Revealed?

via Glooce

Beyond the 2014 release date and the so-far confirmed interstellar superhero roster, very little is known regarding the “big space epic” expansion of Marvel's cinematic universe, titled Guardians of the Galaxy. And while a director hasn't even been announced yet, an alleged summary of the movie's plot has already surfaced via two industry sites, Production Weekly and It's On The Grid. Focusing on the main concept, main character and main conflict, the plausible logline indicates the much-anticipated film will be about:“A U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.”Considering the two separate sources are considerably legit industry sites, the logline is plausible. Of course, we still must await confirmation. The “U.S. pilot” is likely Peter Quill, better known as Star-Lord. Another possibility for the U.S. pilot is Vance Astrovik, also known as Vance Astro. In the comics, he joined the U.S. Air Force at the age of 18, becoming the youngest in the astronaut training program. Volunteering for the first manned interstellar mission ever conducted by the U.S. years later, he was launched into space; landing on a planet called Alpha Centauri. And this led to the the 1969 Guardians' formation. Perhaps they're villains?And the “futuristic ex-cons” may evidently refer to the other Guardians - Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Groot, Rocket Raccoon. Marvel Studios has dubbed “Guardians of the Galaxy” a “big space epic” that will introduce various cosmic entities from the Marvel Comics universe. The superhero team first appeared in “Marvel Super-Heroes #18” in 1969, created by Arnold Drake & Gene Colan. In 2008, the team was rebooted by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning in “Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 2) #1.” The team's live-action roster will include Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. And also Thanos, the villain who made his live-action debut unexpectedly during Marvel's The Avengers mid-credits stinger, is expected to reprise his role. With a screenplay drafted by Nicole Perlman, and reworked by Chris McCoy, no director is yet attached. And distributor Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures has scheduled “Guardians of the Galaxy” for release on August 1, 2014.Source

Ex Disneyland Employee Sues Disney Over Religious Discrimination

via Glooce

A former Disneyland restaurant employee sued Walt Disney Co on Monday for harassment and religious discrimination, saying she was fired because she wanted to wear a Muslim head scarf at work.Imane Boudlal, a 28-year-old Muslim, worked as a hostess at the Storytellers Cafe, a restaurant inside Disney's Grand California Hotel & Spa at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, according to a complaint filed in federal court.Two years into the job, Boudlal asked permission to wear a hijab, a head scarf worn by Muslim women, while at work. She said she offered to wear a scarf that matched the colors of her uniform or featured a Disney logo.According to her lawsuit, Disney managers denied her request, saying it would violate the company's policy for how employees "look" while on the job. Among the restrictions, the policy prohibits visible tattoos and fingernails that exceed a quarter of an inch, the lawsuit said.Boudlal said she was given the choice of working in a back area, away from customers, or wearing a fedora-style hat on top of her head scarf. When Boudlal refused, she was fired, the lawsuit states.A U.S. citizen who was born in Morocco, Boudlal said she was also subject to anti-Arab and anti-Muslim slurs, including being called "terrorist" and "camel" by co-workers and supervisors. She said she reported the incidents to managers, but they took no action."Disneyland calls itself the happiest place on earth, but I faced harassment as soon as I started working there," Boudlal said in a statement released by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. "It only got worse when I decided to wear a hijab."Disney said it offered Boudlal several options for a costume that would accommodate her religious beliefs, as well as four different jobs where she could wear her own hijab."Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has a history of accommodating religious requests from cast members of all faiths," Disneyland Resort spokeswoman Suzi Brown said in a statement."Unfortunately, (Boudlal) has rejected all of our efforts and has since refused to come to work," Brown said.The lawsuit seeks punitive damages and an order that states Disney may not prohibit employees from wearing hijabs. It also asks that Disney be ordered to provide anti-harassment training for employees about Muslim issues.The case is Boudlal v. Disney.Edit:The lawsuit claims Boudlal, who is a Moroccan native but a naturalized U.S. citizen, contacted her supervisors at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa’s Storyteller’s Café in 2010 after she decided to wear her hijab full time. She says she was told wearing her hijab to work violated the company's "look" policy — general appearance guidelines — and that after weeks of back-and-forth, she was told she could wear a Disney-designed scarf, but only after it received corporate approval. (a portion of this repeats, but the part where it says she was offered an actual Disney-themed scarf wasn't mentioned in detail, so I wanted to highlight that)Not wanting to wait to observe Ramadan, Boudlal wore her own hijab to work Aug. 15, 2010, when she says she was told she could either remove the scarf, cover it with a hat or work in a job out of public sight. She refused.Disney spokeswoman Suzi Brown said the company tried to accommodate Boudlal’s needs — as it has with religious requests from other employees of various faiths.“We presented Ms. Boudlal with multiple options to accommodate her religious beliefs, as well as offered her several roles that would have allowed her to wear her own hijab,” Brown said. “Unfortunately, she rejected all of our efforts and has since refused to come to work.”Boudlal has not worked at Disney since Aug. 21, 2010, said Mark Rosenbaum, one of her attorneys from the ACLU of Southern California.She filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2010 and received a “notice of right-to-sue” from the agency Aug. 8, opening the door for litigation. The lawsuit also says Boudlal was repeatedly harassed by her co-workers from the beginning of her employment, being called "terrorist," "camel" and "Kunta Kinte," the name of a slave in Alex Haley's novel "Roots." source 1 source 2

One Direction fanzine's Caroline Flack article sparks sexism row

via Glooce

A One Direction fanzine has been criticised after it featured a "voodoo doll" of TV presenter Caroline Flack who dated one of the band's members, Harry Styles.

One Direction & Friends dubbed Flack, who presents ITV2's The X Factor spinoff, The Xtra Factor, an "old woman" and "foul mistress" who spends her time reading hate mail and looks like a goat.

The US magazine featured a picture of Flack with pins sticking out of her, highlighting her so-called "crows' feet" and "dirty blonde dye job".

It criticised the 32-year-old for dating Styles, who is 18, saying "date boys your age, not your shoe size" and added: "Note: zero engagement rings. Because no one wants to be with her."

Irish TV and radio presenter Conor Behan said on Twitter: "This article for One Direction fans slating Caroline Flack is hideously sexist and has gone viral for obvious reasons."

 Others used Twitter to describe it as "pretty disgusting and immature" and "astoundingly horrible". Another added: "Where THIS is deemed appropriate in a fan magazine aimed at young female One Direction fans."

The One Direction magazine, published by Topix Media Lab, is described on iTunes as the "greatest magazine dedicated to the greatest band in the world".

New York-based Topix Media says it manufactures "best in class mass market consumer magazines".

Its titles also include Celebrity Astrology, Reality Stars – Where Are They Now? and A Tribute to TV's Greatest Judges.

Its website says it has a team "comprised of the most talented editors, writers and designers in the magazine industry".

The One Direction article, published earlier this year, began: "Never before have 1D fans united in greater numbers than to share their 'feelings' for Caroline Flack, the old woman who dated Harry Styles."

"She was the host of England's The X Factor where 1D got their break. But today she spends her time reading hate mail. So to help you, here's voodoo doodoo Caroline."

The X Factor returns to ITV1 on Saturday, with Flack due to appear at a launch event for the show on Thursday.

A spokeswoman for One Direction said the magazine was not an official band magazine.

Topix Media had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.

Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project which highlighted the article on Twitter, said: "It is hugely irresponsible to print things like this in a magazine which is aimed at young women who are extremely vulnerable to the influence of the media.

"It reinforces hugely damaging gender stereotypes and the idea that it is socially acceptable for women to be judged purely on the basis of their looks, that it is absolutely disgusting if you dare to have a wrinkle.

"It also reinforces the idea that women should prioritise men and boys above all else and particularly their relationships with each other and their own self-esteem."

She added: "It also utterly ignores Harry Styles' participation in the relationship. On a wider level this is already a huge problem in the treatment of high-profile relationships, constantly focusing the blame on the woman and abusing people on social media."

Snow White and the Huntsman Sequel Will Actually Be a Huntsman Spin-Off Not Starring Kristen Stewart

via glooce

First Universal spun the classic Snow White fable into an action-adventure tentpole pic with equal billing for the Huntsman, and now fairy tale princess is about to get dropped from the equation altogether. Even before Snow White and the Huntsman opened, the studio was lining up plans for a sequel. And as of today, that follow-up is still moving forward — only it’s being reconfigured to focus on Chris Hemsworth‘s Huntsman, cutting Kristen Stewart‘s Snow White out completely.While there are undoubtedly a number of factors that have gone into this decision, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that the news comes weeks after Stewart was discovered to be having an affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. It’s unclear whether Sanders will be returning to the helm for the spin-off.David Koepp, who also wrote the first film, began work on Snow White and the Huntsman 2 months ago. However, THR writes that he’ll be settled out of the contract now that the project’s being reworked as a Huntsman spin-off. The idea didn’t originate out of nowhere — according to the trade’s sources, the original plan was to make two Snow White-centric films before spinning the Huntsman off into his own adventure with the third installment of the franchise, much as the X-Men series did with Wolverine.The focus on the Huntsman character indicates that Hemsworth is still attached, but THR says in no uncertain terms that Stewart will not be invited back. Scandal or no scandal, it’s a surprising move. Not only was Stewart the lead character in the first film, her work in the Twilight movies has made her one of Hollywood’s highest-profile actresses. On the plus side for the studio, dropping Stewart should save them a good chunk of cash. She is, after all, one of the highest paid stars in town.Sanders’ involvement remains up in the air. Unlike the stars, who were optioned for two sequels in addition to the first film, Sanders is not obligated to return. After Sanders and Stewart were outed, Sanders’ wife Liberty Ross (who played Snow White’s mother in the movie) reportedly forbade him from directing the follow-up. Stewart’s departure may or may not have changed things.The first Snow White and the Huntsman performed reasonably well at the box office, grossing a little under $400 million worldwide on a budget of $170 million. Universal is now said to be looking for a new writer, with hopes of shooting next July after Hemsworth finishes Thor 2.source

5 Breakout Movie Stars of Fall 2012

Via Glooce

From Ang Lee to Peter Jackson, some of Hollywood's top directors are making an unusual bet this fall: They're relying on a collection of largely unknown actors to reap success at the box office.If the bets pay off, a bunch of relative unknowns -- not all of them fresh-faced newbies -- may find themselves household names thanks to show-stopping performances in some of this fall’s most heavily anticipated films.Here’s a look at five performers whose days of toiling in semi-obscurity are about to end.1. JESSE PLEMONSHow He’ll Spend the Fall: Playing the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s cult leader in “The Master.”Upcoming: A recurring role on AMC’s “Breaking Bad”Why He’s Ready to Break Through: “Friday Night Lights” aficionados are already familiar with Plemons from his work as the slightly nerdy Landry Clarke. After a supporting role in last summer’s “Battleship,” Plemons is ready to show he has some acting chops by going toe-to-toe with such heavyweights as Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. In director Paul Thomas Anderson, he has just the person to take him to some dark, but unforgettable, places.2. SAMANTHA BARKSHow She’ll Spend the Fall: Breaking audiences' hearts as the lovelorn and ultimately heroic Eponine in “Les Miserables.”Upcoming: Nothing announced.Why She’s Ready to Break Through: The former BBC talent show contestant and star of a West End production of “Oliver” beat out higher profile names like Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson for the pivotal role in the big-screen version of the hit musical. Now the big question: With her soaring voice and stunning looks, can the classically trained Brit find success on this side of the pond?3. SURAJ SHARMAHow He’ll Spend the Fall:  Stranded at sea with a tiger for 227 days in Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi.”Upcoming: Nothing announced.Why He’s Ready to Break Through:  Lee has admitted he was despairing of even making the film until he discovered the 17-year-old newcomer. Rolling the dice on the novice was certainly a risk -- Sharma spends the bulk of the film onscreen by himself, acting opposite a CGI tiger. It’s a daring performance that is bound to draw comparisons to Tom Hanks' similar work in “Cast Away.” Of course, Hanks earned an Oscar nomination for his troubles.4. RICHARD ARMITAGEHow He’ll Spend the Fall: Treasure hunting with Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.”Upcoming: Two more sequels to “The Hobbit” and an untitled tornado thriller from New Line Cinema.Why He’s Ready to Break Through: Another well-known name in England hoping for his U.S. breakthrough, the dashing British actor has starred in several hit BBC America series, including "Robin Hood" (he played the evil Guy of Gisborne) and "MI-5."His portrayal as dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield in the upcoming trilogy could provide Armitage's career with the kind of boost enjoyed by “The Lord of the Rings” star Viggo Mortensen -- another under appreciated supporting actor who became a major player thanks to his work on the J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired films.5. EDGAR RAMIREZHow He’ll Spend his Fall: Taking down Osama bin Laden in Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty.”Upcoming: Playing revolutionary hero Simon Bolivar in “Libertador” and starring as an Iraq war veteran in “Donnie Darko” director Richard Kelly’s “Corpus Christi.”Why He’s Ready to Break Through: As fans of the mini-series “The Jackal” can attest, this guy is the real deal, and teaming up with Bigelow can do wonders to a career. (Just ask "The Hurt Locker's" Jeremy Renner) And with an explosive subject like the Osama bin Laden killing, “Zero Dark Thirty” is almost guaranteed to be one of this year’s most talked-about films.Source

Timbaland and Missy Elliott deny any role in posthumous Aaliyah album

via Glooce

Two of Aaliyah's best-known collaborators have denied they will play any role in the late singer's forthcoming album, helmed by Drake. Timbaland and Missy Elliott "will not be participating" in the posthumous LP, they said on Monday, despite recent claims by the project's label, Blackground Records."Although Missy and Timbaland always strive to keep the memory of their close friend alive, we have not been contacted about the project, nor are there any plans at this time to participate," Mona Scott-Young, Elliott's manager, said. "We've seen the reports surfacing that they have been confirmed to participate but that is not the case. Both Missy and Timbaland are very sensitive to the loss still being felt by the family, so we wanted to clear up any misinformation being circulated."Last week, Drake unveiled a new single, Enough Said, incorporating his own raps and an unreleased vocal by Aaliyah, who died in 2001. The song was produced by his longtime associate, Noah "40" Shebib. Blackground, which was founded by Aaliyah's uncle, confirmed an entire album is in the works, executive-produced by Drake and Shebib. "The idea [is] to release new music for her die-hard fans, and also reintroduce her music to a new generation that doesn't really understand how much influence she has [had]," Blackground's Jomo Hankerson, Aaliyah's cousin, told Billboard. Shebib is "heavily involved" with the music, he said, and Drake will appear on several more songs. (There's SO much wrong with this!!!!!)Immediately, fans were asking about Elliott and Timbaland. The two musicians were crucial to Aaliyah's best-known album, 1996's One in a Million, and have been outspoken defenders of her legacy. In a radio interview, Timbaland said he had not been approached by Drake or Blackground. But Hankerson insisted both artists were in talks with the label. "A lot of [it] is still up in the air, but I can tell you that Timbaland will definitely be involved," he said. "Missy will definitely be involved."Or maybe not. Instead of joining up with Drake and Shebib, Elliott and Timbo seem to have allied themselves with Aaliyah's brother, who has opposed the record. "There is no official album being released and supported by the family," Rashad Haughton wrote on Facebook . "We have nothing but love and respect for [Aaliyah's] memory and for her loved ones left behind still grieving her loss," Elliott and Timbaland said. "Tim and I carry Aaliyah with us every day, like so many of the people who love her. She will always live in our hearts."Aaliyah was 22 when she died in a plane crash in the Bahamas. After three albums and seven top 20 singles, her first posthumous LP, I Care 4 U, reached No 4 in the UK.source

MUSIC NEWS- Six comebacks the world needs right now

via Glooce

The Chinese zodiac got it wrong -- 2012 is not the Year of the Dragon, it's the Year of the Comeback.Granted, the music scene seldom lacks artists trying to claw back to the toppermost of the poppermost. But lately, there are so many on the comeback trail it needs a passing lane.The most recent offenders, of course, are The Spice Girls. For those who missed it, Ginger, Scary, Dopey, Curly and Tinky-Winky emerged from their Austin Powers freeze-drying chambers to ask us what we really really want for the umpteen millionth time at the Olympics closing ceremonies (what I really really wanted? To see those cabs they were riding explode).The Spice cadets are hardly unique, sadly. We've already seen comebacks this year by everyone from Neil Young and Crazy Horse to The Tea Party, Stone Roses and Refused. And there's plenty more due this fall, thanks to new albums from No Doubt, Alanis Morissette, Nelly Furtado, Ben Folds Five, Aerosmith, Soundgarden, Platinum Blonde and others.As usual, though, the artists you'd actually like to hear from again never seem to show up. Here are six comebacks that really would spice up our life:ABBALast Heard: Dancing off into the sunset after 1981's The Visitors, their own personal musical Waterloo.Why We Need Them: To add some melody to modern EDM, which often displays all the musicality of a malfunctioning dial-up modem.Key to Success: Fitting into their old costumes.Likelihood: Poor. In 2000, they famously turned down a $1 billion to tour. So unless Bill Gates or Warren Buffet is upping that ante, we're SOL.David BowieLast Heard: Ziggy ditched fame and embraced his golden years after his Reality album in 2003.Why We Need Him: Because he's David Freaking Bowie -- and last time we checked, no one has even come close to replacing him.Key to Success: Just show up and sing, dude. That's all we ask.Likelihood: Poor. Bowie is rumoured to have battled health issues since going into seclusion/retirement/whatever. So don't hold your breath for the return of the thin white duke.Justin TimberlakeLast Heard: Making with the freak-freak on 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds -- unless you count SNL digital shorts like D--- in a Box.Why We Need Him: It's time for some XY-chromosome posters to counterbalance the estrogen wave of RiRi, Katy, Carly Rae and Bieber.Key to Success: Three words -- Bring. Sexy. Back.Likelihood: Fair. As recently as last week, JT denied he was working on a "crazy" new album. So you know he totes is.OutKastLast Heard: On the eclectic and inconsistent Idlewild soundtrack back in 2006 -- though Big Boi and Andre 3000 have touched base on a cut or two since.Why We Need Them: Because neither one of these codependent geniuses seems able to close successfully on his own.Key to Success: Whatever the heck they were on when they made masterpieces like Stankonia and Speakerboxx/The Love Below.Likelihood: Unknown. Neither seems especially opposed to the idea -- or particularly enthused about it.TriumphLast Heard: Plunging over the Edge of Excess in 1993 -- though Rik Emmett, Mike Levine and Gil Moore are on good terms.Why We Need Them: To lay some CanCon power-trio might on the line against all those aging American rockers.Key to Success: Levine's moustache. Oh, and enough pyro to scare Rammstein.Likelihood: Good. They reunited at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2008 (the CD/DVD is out Aug. 28).FugaziLast Heard: Settling things after The Argument in 2001.Why We Need Them: To save punk rock from being diluted and sold to Hot Topic once and for all.Key to Success: Reconnecting with the passion and intelligence that fuelled post-hardcore manifestos like Repeater and Red Medicine.Likelihood: Possible. Though it sure won't be for the money -- the Washington punks were famous for their $5 tickets and $10 albums.SOURCE

Jodie Foster Blasts Kristen Stewart–Robert Pattinson Break-Up Spectacle.

via GlooceHurtful headlines. Prurient paparazzi. Fickle fans. Enough already! Jodie Foster defends a kid actor’s right to be a kid.We’ve all seen the headlines at the check-out counter. “Kristen Stewart Caught.” We’ve all thumbed the glossy pages here and there. “Kris and Rob a couple?” We all catch the snaps. “I like that dress. I hate the hair. Cute couple. Bad shoes.” There’s no guilt in acknowledging the human interest in public linens. It’s as old as the hills. Lift up beautiful young people like gods and then pull them down to earth to gaze at their seams. See, they’re just like us. But we seldom consider the childhoods we unknowingly destroy in the process.I have been an actress since I was 3 years old, 46 years to date. I have no memories of a childhood outside the public eye. I am told people look to me as a success story. Often complete strangers approach me and ask, How have you stayed so normal, so well-adjusted, so private? I usually lie and say, “Just boring I guess.” The truth is, like some curious radioactive mutant, I have invented my own gothic survival tools. I have fashioned rules to control the glaring eyes. Maybe I’ve organized my career choices to allow myself (and the ones I truly love) maximum personal dignity. And yes, I have neurotically adapted to the gladiator sport of celebrity culture, the cruelty of a life lived as a moving target. In my era, through discipline and force of will, you could still manage to reach for a star-powered career and have the authenticity of a private life. Sure, you’d have to lose your spontaneity in the elaborate architecture. You’d have to learn to submerge beneath the foul air and breathe through a straw. But at least you could stand up and say, I will not willfully participate in my own exploitation. Not anymore. If I were a young actor or actress starting my career today in the new era of social media and its sanctioned hunting season, would I survive? Would I drown myself in drugs, sex, and parties? Would I be lost?I’ve said it before and I will say it again: if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started. If I had to grow up in this media culture, I don’t think I could survive it emotionally. I would only hope that someone who loved me, really loved me, would put their arm around me and lead me away to safety. Sarah Tobias would never have danced before her rapists in The Accused. Clarice would never have shared the awful screaming of the lambs to Dr. Lecter. Another actress might surely have taken my place, opened her soul to create those characters, surrendered her vulnerabilities. But would she have survived the paparazzi peering into her windows, the online harassment, the public humiliations, without overdosing in a hotel room or sticking her face with needles until she became unrecognizable even to herself?Acting is all about communicating vulnerability, allowing the truth inside yourself to shine through regardless of whether it looks foolish or shameful. To open and give yourself completely. It is an act of freedom, love, connection. Actors long to be known in the deepest way for their subtleties of character, for their imperfections, their complexities, their instincts, their willingness to fall. The more fearless you are, the more truthful the performance. How can you do that if you know you will be personally judged, skewered, betrayed? If you’re smart, you learn to willfully disassociate, to compartmentalize. Putting your emotions into a safety box definitely comes in handy when the public throws stones. The point is to survive, intact or not, whatever the emotional cost. Actors who become celebrities are supposed to be grateful for the public interest. After all, they’re getting paid. Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone’s privacy, to destroy someone’s sense of self.In 2001 I spent 5 months with Kristen Stewart on the set of Panic Room mostly holed up in a space the size of a Manhattan closet. We talked and laughed for hours, sharing spontaneous mysteries and venting our boredom. I grew to love that kid. She turned 11 during our shoot and on her birthday I organized a mariachi band to serenade her at the taco bar while she blew out her candles. She begrudgingly danced around a sombrero with me but soon rushed off to grip and electric department's basketball game. Her mother and I watched her jump around after the ball, hooting with every team basket. “She doesn’t want to be an actor when she grows up, does she?” I asked. Her mom sighed. “Yes … unfortunately.” We both smiled and shrugged with an ambivalence born from experience. “Can’t you talk her out of it?” I offered. “Oh, I’ve tried. She loves it. She just loves it.” More sighs. We watched her run around the court for a while, both of us silent, each thinking our own thoughts. I was pregnant at the time and found myself daydreaming of the child I might have soon. Would she be just like Kristen? All that beautiful talent and fearlessness … would she jump and dunk and make me so proud?

‘If I were a young actor today I would quit before I started. If I had to grow up in this media culture, I don’t think I could survive it emotionally.’

Cut to: Today … A beautiful young woman strides down the sidewalk alone, head down, hands drawn into fists. She’s walking fast, darting around huge men with black cameras thrusting at her mouth and chest. “Kristen, how do you feel?” “Smile Kris!” “Hey, hey, did you get her?” “I got her. I got her!” The young woman doesn’t cry. Fuck no. She doesn’t look up. She’s learned. She keeps her head down, her shades on, fists in her pockets. Don’t speak. Don’t look. Don’t cry.My mother had a saying that she doled out after every small injustice, every heartbreak, every moment of abject suffering. “This Too Shall Pass.” God, I hated that phrase. It always seemed so banal and out of touch, like she was telling me my pain was irrelevant. Now it just seems quaint, but oddly true … Eventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don’t lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and--finally--the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don’t let them take that away from you.source

If you (like me!) were coming of age in the '90s, just as important as your Z.Cavs, Wigwam socks, and baby tees was your Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill CD. From You Can’t Do That on Television through to her 17-year music career, complete with Grammys, a Golden Globe nom, and Juno awards galore, Alanis rocks. In the four years since her last album, she's gotten married, given birth to her son, and written and recorded her latest album Havoc and Bright Lights, out August 28. And today, I have the pleasure of bringing you her brand-new song “Havoc,” which shows off a softer side of Alanis. Introspective, thoughtful, and unwavering, she says “'Havoc' refers to the challenges and consequences of taking responsibility and recovering from different addictions.” Listen here while you read on about all her latest obsessions!

It has been revealed that True Blood actress Dale Dickey will be in the Iron Man 3 movie. While the bulk of filming for Marvel Studios' upcoming third Iron Man installment is complete, another small addition to its ensemble cast has been uncovered. Best known for her recurring role on NBC's My Name Is Earl television series, Winter Bone actress Dale Dickey told a local Knoxville, Tennessee blog:“I'm filming now. That's it. They asked my agent not to put anything in the trades when I was cast over a month ago, so they are trying to keep as much mystery as possible.” (July 27)Despite being contracted to keep her role in the Shane Black-directed production under wraps, Dale is credited as “Mrs. Davis” on her Internet Movie Database profile. However, there's no word on how she fits into the film. Beyond winning the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female for her role in the Academy Award-nominated film Winter Bone, Dale Dickey, 49, has starred in Super 8, The Pledge, and the True Blood series.Source articleIron Man 3 imdb page

Victoria Beckham didn't want to be part of Spice Girls Olympics performance

via Glooce

It was inevitable, in the hours after the Spice Girls performed at the Closing Ceremony at the Olympic Games in London on Sunday night the ladies began to talk about doing a reunion tour, even if band mate Victoria Beckham is unable or unwilling to be a part of it, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting."Mel B is spearheading the crusade for the band to do a reunion tour as they had a total blast performing at the Closing Ceremony. Geri Halliwell, Mel C and Emma Bunton are all on board, but, of course, the lone holdout is Victoria," a source close to the band tells Radar. "Vicky says she just has way too much on her plate right now with her fashion label and so busy being a mother to four young children, and wife to David and it just doesn't seem like she wants any part of a reunion tour."Mel B thinks the perfect time to do a reunion tour would be around the time the Spice Girls musical premieres in London on December 16 and wouldn't need to be a full scale world tour that would last for months, rather they could perform in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, London and other big cities to promote the musical. The ladies are ready to perform with or without Posh Spice."As previously reported, The Spice Girls were prepared to perform without Beckham at the Olympics Closing Ceremony, but when she learned that the band would perform without her she had a change of heart."Victoria obviously recognized that if she didn't join the band for the closing ceremony it would look really bad. Victoria is very grateful for the platform the band has given her, but she just likes to create distance from that time in her life because she wants to be taken seriously as a fashion designer. Ultimately though, the band came together and did a hell of a job in their performance. Victoria was gushing afterwards that she was so glad she had decided to do it," the insider previously said.The Spice Girls wowed viewers of the Closing Ceremony and the ladies performed a medley of their 90's hits, and all looked fantastic in their outfits that represented their persona with the band. Beckham wore a revealing black gown that showed off her gorgeous gams, and Mel B wore a form fitting glitter bodysuit, which complimented her toned physique."Mel B is the mama bear and de facto leader of the Spice Girls and it's no secret that she and Vicky have had their differences over the years," the source says. "However, Mel has been extremely diplomatic and sincere when talking to Vicky about doing the reunion tour and is hopeful that she will relent and agree to do it. Mel B is very persuasive and always gets what she wants and she has appealed to the fact that Vicky now has a daughter. Mel told Vicky it's time to show little Harper what girl power is really all about!"The Spice Girls split up in 2001 and did a worldwide reunion tour in 2007-2008.Source
