Arlenis, the glowing beauty as shot by Steven Meisel. There is a media feeding frenzy over this issue of Vogue Italia. Fashionista and The Cut as well as the model obsessed fans on the Fashion Spot are hovering over every image that comes out. For those who missed it the first time, see MDX’s video interview of Arlenis.
A movie that does not know what it wants to be.
Written by Hombre DivertidoThis is just a movie that does not know what it wants to be. It’s almost as if writers Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember wrote a movie about spies, and then tried to turn it into Get Smart by putting Steve Carell in the lead, adding some comedic gags, and references to the original series.It’s also questionable to…
Anyone remember R&B singer Mýa? Me neither. Which is why I posted her here in a bikini so you can remember Mýa all over again. But, this time, way more assier. It's Christmas* in July! God bless us, everyone.
*Or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc. depending on your faith. In my case: Strippers and Eggnog Day. I'm Orthodox like that.
After seeing these pics of Jennifer Lopez wearing a bikini in Italy, I think it goes without saying that she needs to challenge Kim Kardashian to an Ass Off. You know, settle things once and for all. To be honest, I don't exactly know what they'd have to settle, but I'm sure it has something to do with offsetting the moon's ability to affect the Earth's tides. I mean, look at that J-Butt. Asses don't have pecs!
Nicole Richie hit up Vegas this weekend with Paris Hilton to watch their boyfriends The Elmer Fudd Brothers perform at the Hard Rock. Apparently, things got heated and Nicole found herself scrapping with an unidentified woman outside, according to Vegas Confidential:
Richie, who recently had a baby with Joel Madden, Benji's brother, was involved in a catfight in the valet area at the Hard Rock Hotel. Security whisked Richie away, according to spies.
Richie, whose daughter is 5 months old, recently vowed she would not be getting in trouble anymore "because I want my child to look up to me. ... I want to show her the right path.
Nicole Richie in a catfight? That's like watching Gollum get in a slap-fest with a cocktail waitress. But, in Nicole's case, minus the erotic undertones and any chance I'll ever have an erection again.
Anyone know who’s responsible for this fun advert for Pepsi? In addition to loads of nice CG, there’s some great storytelling and pacing that keeps the spot from being a simple “say cow, see cow” interpretation of the interviewees’ ideal Pepsi ad.
I’m assuming JWT is the agency behind it, but I can’t find the scantest mention of the studio(s) that pulled it off.
UPDATE: Thanks to Dan in the comments, we now know that Glassworks handled the post-production. I’m requesting full credits and will post them here as soon as I get them.
Though the shows are a couple months from now WWD Beauty Biz has already picked its top girls for September. The stellar list features MDC favorites Abbey Lee (Next Models NY) and Kinée (New York Model Management) as well as the lovely Taryn Davidson (DNA Models) and Gantz Gilles Zhavoronkova (1 Model Management). The elegant shots by Guy Aroch show the personalities as well as the beauty of each girl.
Nicole Kidman, who I completely forgot was pregnant, gave birth to baby girl Sunday Rose Kidman Urban this morning. This is Nicole's first child and Keith Urban's as well. Her two children with Tom Cruise are adopted and creepy Scientologists, so they don't count. Us Magazine reports:
The baby weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces.
"Husband Keith was by Nicole's side and mother and baby are very well," the rep said.
I have to admit Keith and Nicole do look happy. He's also not hung up on her size like a certain knee-high Thetan. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Travolta!) If Tom Cruise were in these pictures he'd be wearing a jetpack and yelling "Look at me! I'm tall too! You can't legally declare someone a midget! I wear big boy pants! WHEE!" Then he'd get caught in a spider web.
Congrats to Nicole, Keith and Sunday Rose!
I know Will Smith is Mr. Fourth of July and all, but, yoiks, $107 million for "Hancock" since last Tuesday? And $66 million over the long weekend alone? At almost 4,000 theaters, that's a mighty fine $16,600 per theater average -- not bad for a movie that commits hari-kiri at the midway point and falls over stone dead. (I mean, you've seen the movie -- did you really buy that? Really?)
This was the kind of opener the industry's been hoping for, even in a stronger than expected summer, and it managed the feat of throwing "WALL-E" into the box office shadows of second place with $33 million. (Leonard Klady at Movie City News believes the latest from Pixar will ultimately get outgrossed by the simpler and more broad-appeal "Kung Fu Panda." You may start weeping now.)
"Wanted," interestingly, added a few more theaters but still dropped off by 60%, meaning those who wanted to see it saw it opening weekend. Jolie may have legs but I'm betting the movie doesn't. Also roadkill was "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," which expanded from 15 theaters to almost 2,000 and eked out $3.6 million. Guess the warm advance reviews weren't able to get audiences out of the Will Smith habit.
Down in indieland, "The Wackness" opened at six theaters with a very strong $25K per theater average, which bodes well for its Boston opening this Friday. Those of you who've been waiting to see A) Josh from Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh" play a pot-dealing high schooler in 1994 Manhattan and B) Mary-Kate Olsen and Ben Kingsley having wild monkey sex in a phone booth will be well served. "Gonzo," the Hunter S. Thompson docu, actually outgrossed "Wackness" $190K to $180K, but played in over four times as many theaters, so you do the math.
