Shakira shops to save

Monday, January 18th, 2010

You would think this was another way to help the Haiti disaster victims, but such petty objectives are far too insignificant for Shakira, she has bigger things on her agenda. It seems Shakira goes shopping in order to save the economy, as she herself states: “I do like to enjoy things any normal girl my age enjoys: I jog in the park, watch really bad movies. I used to feel guilty – I am a Catholic girl after all – but today, the way I see it, shopping keeps the world rolling. A world where people don’t consume? The economy gets worse.” Oh how Shakira hits the nail on the coffin with that one… unfortunately for her, from the wrong side of the picture. But hey, as long as she’s saving the economy, no sacrifice is smaller. As good old George Carlin said: “Go out and buy a new car and some jewelry, otherwise… the terrorists win!”

Drew Barrymore ‘screws up’ Golden Globes speech

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Drew Barrymore left a couple of key people out of her Golden Globe acceptance speech.

The actress, whose classic Hollywood gown won her fashion editor praise, was given the Best Supporting Actress award for her work in the HBO mini-series Grey Gardens. But she forgot to thank her off-on boyfriend Justin Long.

“I screwed up so hard in my speech,” Barrymore said backstage. She did not forget to kiss him before leaping up to get her award, however.

And it was noted she also forgot to mention her Grey Gardens co-star Jessica Lange.

But in a re-enactment of her moment, Barrymore told Lange (who was not present): “I wish that I could split this award in half!”

She also said: “And I have a great date. Thank you, Justin. He’s been making me laugh all night.”

Rebecca Romijn said recent ‘Got Milk’ ad was ‘challenging’ to shoot

Eastwick beauty Rebecca Romijn said her recent ‘Got Milk’ ad was ‘challenging’ to shoot with her one-year-old twins.

Romijn, 37, stars in the new campaign ad with her twins Dolly and Charlie and said that it wasn’t plain-sailing.

She said: “It was challenging. The last time I did this campaign in 1998, we shot it in Times Square, middle of a tropical storm, during rush hour, in July, without permits… I thought that was chaotic.

“Well, guess what? Shooting with nine-month-old twins when one of them is not havin’ it all day long…”

Talking about daughter Dolly, she said: “I think this is one of maybe three frames where she wasn’t screaming her head off and that was way more chaotic than the one that I did in 1998.

“I think Jerry [O'Connell, hubby] was probably doing cartwheels behind the photographer trying to get them to calm down.”
