Rants and Raves

The Gutsy Mr Lambert – Methinks the uproar over a “racy” performance of Adam Lambert at the AMA is a bit of overkill. The show was such a downer a grotesque act was much needed. To the uninitiated: that’s what we call entertainment! Mr. Lambert definitely lived up to the name of his album. I would have been disenchanted if he performed it rather safe and generic. Query: When Britney and Madonna made out at the VMA, people hailed it as cool but for Adam’s he was inundated with condemnations? Fuck all the homophobes!





Meryl, The Incredible – I recently watched Julie and Julia written and directed by Nora Ephron. A lovely film, indeed. But my attention gravitated towards the impeccably glorious portrayal of Meryl Streep as Julia Child. She’s definitely a lock for a Best Actress nomination come awards season. And she has the props to back it up: the charming French accent, the Susan Boyle-inspired hairdo and the infectious mannerisms. If Ms Streep doesn’t win this coming Oscars (she was robbed big time in The Devil Wears Prada), AMPAS members should be decapitated! And oh, did I mention that Amy Adams was delicious as usual!





A Plea to Gemma - I am quite disturbed over Gemma Ward’s recent weight gain. How could such a ferocious doll-beauty overlooked her burgeoning body? After Heath Ledger’s death, the model seemed to traverse a rather disastrous road of coping stress: binging out! Prior to the “transformation”, Ms Ward was the fiercest supermodel who “looked awesome in everything from basic prêt-a-porter shoots to some pretty unusual avante garde creations.” Today, the modeling scene is a sea of déclassé mannequins (save for Chanel Iman and Natasha Poly) and I am hoping that one day Gemma contemplates on returning to modeling. Ms Ward, hit the gym now and bring fierce back!
