hmm... better roles, she said?

 Recently (most recently; as that was... yesterday!) 

on the award-winning talk show hosted by 

KELLY CLARKSON (yeah - another "hmm" right there!) 

this actress comes on (via zoom, skype or whatever) 

and professes to have "fallen in love all over again with acting

thanks to this new role that she nabbed... on this: 







...TOO BAD... the actual interview in which she 

gushes so about it is just GONE... 


It is based on a book - see? 
One that is highly recommended ~ y'hear: 



hmm... me, I still prefer 
The Lumineers!


But that's another story! 

back to that actress though - EVE... 

She recounts that she ALMOST QUIT ACTING 

because all she was ever offered were parts of 

"booby girlfriends" (I paraphrase...?) 

(lest it was "bubbly GFs" - huh?) 

(But no - I am pretty darn sure she spoke of boobs!) 

and, still, she didn't quit... she persevered... 

she made a name for herself while retaining some degree 

of near-anonymity (because nobody knows her last name! 

I sure don't! I didn't look it up! Maybe it's in that trailer, tho? 

I dunno! Didn't watch it, either! LOL 

That's right, folks! I estimate I wasted enough time as it is 

watching that tidbit of the Kelly Clarkson show 

AND blogging about it - THAT IS ENOUGH!!! 

So... EVE there (not to be confused with Killing Eve) 

impressed the hell out of KELLY C by preserving her last name 

-keeping it private- while still achieving some notoriety... 

(hmm... the Killing Eve also did that - no? 

Actually, her, nobody knows the actress at all; 

they just know "Villanelle" the psycho lesbo! There...)


BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY TOO! 

This Eve now - the one in the so-called Luminaries... 

She thinks she got a, er, meatier role... more meaningful... 

altogether BETTER than what she would usually get, 

in this very conventional story of an 

aristocratic woman who travels abroad... 

falls in love "with a beautiful man" 

meets an evil nemesis (another Eve: EVA GREEN!) 

who promptly proceeds to split them apart 

and frames our would-be heroine for murder... 

(but, of course, the murder of someone else; 

cannon fodder - not the beautiful man! Nooo..!) 

REALLY - THAT IS A BETTER ROLE 

THAN PLAYING A BELIEVABLE 

GIRLFRIEND TO SOME RICH, OLDER GUY...???  


Thank God most other actresses know better...! 


And then there's VILLANELLE...

Hmm... Is Justice really improving in this world after all...?!?

On the date that, waaaaay back in 1431, the trial of one JOAN OF ARK began, we learn that a 9/11 plotter has his prison term increased! It was doubled in fact, in a German court of all places, in Hamburg to be more specific... Justice is improving, being meted out in a harsher way to those who deserve it too, in the country where, a relatively short time ago (what's 60-65 years in human history? Peanuts...) dementia and lunacy overtook an entire nation (or a good portion of it) and possessed the collective psyche enough to have them commit such atrocities... All in the name of the imaginary "master race"...! I should apologize for the very condensed -very spontaneous too- luminous history lesson... But I will not! ;) Suffice it to say - if Joan of Ark got the stake, 576 years ago today... Surely Mounir el Motassadeq deserves to get 15 years in prison... And to be decked all along the way... I know - easy one to say... Or type, really... Sue me, willya? ;)

Hmm... THOSE are the Big Hits of 2007...?

Unlike my stance in other areas (...) I will not pretend to be an "all-knowing expert" of what makes the ever ebullient music industry "pop"... (!) But I can still come up with a TOP 10 of what are, (IMLO) in my luminous opinion, the biggest hits of the year that is ending TONIGHT... 2007 was, in my eyes, Timbaland's year. His "Shock Value" release was something else and he managed to be both artist AND producer/promoter of other artists on it! Nelly Furtado had another revealing year (though revealing she might be flimsy a bit wasn't exactly a high point in her career) and she also collaborated with Timbaland, not-so coincidentally... Top spot goes to RIHANNA though - as her song expresses so "spunkily", just in its title, what I summarily feel about a certain designated driver that I know, a ninny by the name of ROSA... (!) Nods go also to the likes of Sean Kingston, who made a splash with his ode to being -gulp- suicidal? Took guts to...

hmm... golden globes?

  Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding  cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind  -often employing the same thespians, over and over again-  AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things  "THE GOLDEN GLOBES"  as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe  and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!!  The most prestigious award they have to give out,  truth be told, probably would be the  CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD  and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES  (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old  Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh?  As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they  chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above...  The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh)  Yeah, yeah - alright, alright;  they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too...  ...
