Penny, with all due respect, do you have any experience with men and
sex? I mean, personally? Men like sex. All of them. Men are
stimulated by sexually attractive women, (or men), and that is NORMAL.
Men are turned off by fuglys. It's nothing to do with gender politics
or stereotypes. LOL! It's one of Life's more delicious gifts that she
designed them that way. :-) Being the object of a man's desire, and
teasing him until he's ripe for the fall is much of what makes being
young and beautiful so fab.
The point of my initial comment re: this had to do with the androgynous
object that is Grace Park. The gay tong of the media/marketing/fashion
universe has succeeded in changing the ideal feminine form from
voluptuous femininity to what is obviously a rendition of a naked young
teenage male with implants stuck on to conform, (for the moment), to
convention.
In the end, men don't care what form a sexual object takes... as long
as it's beautiful and sexually appealing. God knows the Greeks had it
going on and their art proves how the child-man was revered. And
that's where it's headed today. Why on earth, for instance, would
Michael Jackson be let off unless our society is coming around to the
notion that sex between men and young boys is, if not acceptable, at
least understandable?
I happen to think it's all fucking perverted, but who cares what I
think. I just play the piano. hahahaha to the looney bin with me.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060403/ap_en_ot/theater_julia_s_grosses
NEW YORK - Julia Roberts was almost the million-dollar baby on Broadway
last week. "Three Days of Rain," which stars Roberts, Paul Rudd and
Bradley Cooper, grossed a whopping $988,298 for its first full week of
preview performances, according to figures released Monday by the
League of American Theatres and Producers.
The eight performances, which began March 28, played to 101 percent of
capacity (which includes standing room) at the Bernard B. Jacobs
Theatre, the league said. The Richard Greenberg play - Roberts'
Broadway debut - opens April 19.
Other shows playing to capacity - or better - last week included
"Wicked," "Monty Python's Spamalot," "The Pajama Game," "The Odd
Couple" and "The Phantom of the Opera." Although "Phantom" was helped
by discount offers, the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical has demonstrated
surprising box-office muscle, particularly after becoming Broadway's
longest running show last January.
Also playing to virtual capacity were such shows as "The 25th Annual
Putnam County Spelling Bee," "Jersey Boys," "The Lion King" and
"Tarzan," which is now in previews. Disney's new musical opens May 10
at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

According to Variety, the studio hopes to have "Ocean's Thirteen" in
production on July 21, which would put the film in play for a summer
2007 release.
While "Ocean's Eleven" went to Las Vegas to shoot and "Ocean's Twelve"
went off to Europe, "Ocean's Thirteen" will do most of its work on five
soundstages on the WB lot in Burbank. Steven Soderbergh is returning to
direct, this time working off a by the "Rounders" team of Brian
Koppelman and David Levien.
Returning cast members include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt,
Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Eddie Jemison,
Shaobo Quin, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould. Not surprisingly, the ASAP
shooting start is at least partially to make things convenient for top
bananas Clooney, Damon, Pitt and Soderbergh.
Notice a few names missing? It seems that previous "Ocean's" love
interests Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones won't be playing
along. With those two A-listers out of the picture, the producers sent
out an offer to the industry's biggest star who hadn't been in the
previous movies. That's right. Joining the cast of "Ocean's Thirteen"
is Ellen Barkin.
All producer Jerry Weintraub will tell Variety is that Barkin ("The Big
Easy") "gets closely involved with Damon's character."
Released in late 2001, "Ocean's Eleven" made over $450 million
worldwide and also scored some very positive notices from critics.
"Ocean's Twelve" dropped three years later. While it still made
$360-plus million worldwide, the reviews weren't nearly so friendly.

I nominate the writer of this article for the 'how to give away the fact
that you haven't actually seen the movie you're writing about in one easy

Or maybe he has a special version of Ocean's 12 with the whole Julia Roberts
role edited out. The Julia being Julia thing was fucking terrible. Getting
rid of that would certainly improve the film.

Reese has an Oscar, but can she keep her husband?
by PAUL SCOTT, Daily Mail
08:44am 7th March 2006
Amid an A-list party on the roof terrace of LA's Beverly Hilton hotel, the
throng falls silent as Hollywood's newly-crowned queen makes her entrance.
Reese Witherspoon, a diminutive 5ft 2in, is barely visible behind her burly
security men.
During her fleeting appearance, only the most powerful of the Tinseltown
movers and shakers present will be granted an audience.
For despite a string of dizzy blonde roles, Miss Witherspoon is all too
aware of her formidable new position.
She has just negotiated an £18 million fee for her new movie, making her the
highest-paid female star of all time.
She beat off competition from Dame Judi Dench, Charlize Theron and Keira
Knightley to win the best actress Oscar for her bravura performance as June
Carter Cash in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.
So few would blame the elfin-featured 29-year-old for enjoying her elevation
to the pinnacle of movie stardom, or dispute her recent announcement that
her life was "utterly blessed".
Blossoming career
One the face of it, hers is indeed a gilded existence. The southern belle
daughter of a rich doctor and professor mother, her blossoming career has
run in tandem with a seven-year marriage to the handsome actor Ryan
Phillippe and her role as devoted mother to their two children.
This picture of domestic bliss has become as synonymous with the
effervescent Miss Witherspoon as her megawatt smile and dainty pixie chin.
But this being Hollywood, this image will come under increasing scrutiny as
she settles into the role she has wrestled from Julia Roberts'>Julia Roberts as the most
bankable woman in the movie business.
Her marriage to Phillippe - who appeared in Oscar-winning Crash - has become
the subject of fevered conjecture.
Unshowbizzy wedding
They couple met when Phillippe gatecrashed her 21st birthday party in 1997.
She introduced herself to him saying: "I think you're my birthday present."
They began dating before acting together two years later in the hit comedy
Cruel Intentions - an updated teen version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
By the time the couple married the same year in a quiet and unshowbizzy
ceremony in Charleston, South Carolina, she was pregnant with their first
child.
Both were tipped to go on to become massive stars.
But while Miss Witherspoon quickly landed the role in Legally Blonde - a
film that would propel her into the big league - followed by a £10 million
pay packet for its sequel, her young husband's career stalled.
A superstar
Despite his part as a journalist masquerading as a servant in the critically
acclaimed Gos-ford Park, Phillippe had to watch as Reese became a superstar.
In 2002 when the couple jointly presented an Oscar, Phillippe pointedly
handed her the envelope and said: "After you. You make more money than I
do." It was not a joke.
At the same time, rumours spread of tension between the pair, and even
claims - strenuously denied by Phillippe - that he had cheated on her.
They went on a second honeymoon to the Caribbean in 2003 as speculation
mounted that the trip was a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage. While
they were there, Reese discovered she was expecting again.
In public she consistently denied there were problems in her marriage,
saying: "I don't listen to the gossip. Ryan is my best friend."
But she was said to be furious when he casually told an interviewer they
were attending marriage guidance counselling.
Phillippe was also said to have walked out early of a special 30th birthday
celebration she organised for him at the exclusive Nobu restaurant in
Malibu.
The couple put on a united front when Witherspoon collected a best actress
award at the Golden Globes in Hollywood six weeks ago for her role in Walk
The Line.
But Phillippe did incur the wrath of his famously prudish wife (she refuses
even to wear a bikini on screen) when he added that they planned to
celebrate her award with "hot and heavy love-making".
One diarist commented tartly: "Reese's bodyguards were there presumably to
keep her overenthused, clingy househusband Ryan Phillippe in check."
Indeed, the Mail has learnt that the actor's junior partner role was brought
into sharp relief later as he trailed behind his wife when she made her
entrance into another party - thrown by the NBC television network .
A security guard stopped him to ask for his pass. A furious Phillippe barked
back: "My wife is my pass" and barged past.
But he is openly predicting that next year will be his turn for an Oscar,
thanks to his role in the soon-to-be-released Clint Eastwood- directed war
drama Flags Of Our Fathers.
The speculation over their relationship has put something of a damper on the
announcement this week that Reese will top the list of the highest-paid
actresses with her part in Our Family Trouble, the story of a mother whose
child is possessed by demons in America's deep South.
Her fee, which includes a percentage of box office takings, is £4million
more than Oscar-winner Julia Roberts'>Julia Roberts commanded for Mona Lisa Smile in 2003.
Witherspoon's route to the top began when she started modelling as a child
and won her first role in the film The Man In The Moon when she was just 14.
Her strict parents - her father is an ear, nose and throat specialist and
her mother a professor of paediatrics - had hoped she would follow them into
medicine.
But she dropped out of college after a year to star alongside Paul Newman in
the thriller Twilight.
Roles in The Importance Of Being Earnest and her starring performance in the
£100million grossing Sweet Home Alabama put her among Hollywood's top
leading ladies.
Reese's bubbly screen persona hides a sharp mind and a steely determination
succeed, not to mention a huge talent as a serious actress.
Determined
Indeed, the New York Times called her "The most determined actress of the
21st century".
She has set up her own production company, Type A Films, to keep total
control of her career.
Associates say she is acutely protective of her wholesome image and has
steadfastly refused to comment publicly on the conviction of her elder
alcoholic brother John.
He was put on two years' probation after admitting he attempted to undress a
sleeping neighbour after drunkenly entering her unlocked house.
This week, as she and Phillippe prepared for the Oscar ceremony she was
still insisting: "We have a great marriage."
Whatever the truth, few would bet against her allowing marital difficulties
to hinder her stellar career.
In her gushing Oscar acceptance speech (the longest of the night), she said:
"My grandmother was my inspiration, and she taught me to have strength and
self-respect.
"Those were qualities I saw in June Carter. . . People used to ask how she
was and she would say: 'I'm just trying to matter.' I know what she means.
I'm just trying to matter."
With an £18 million price tag per movie, she certainly matters now.

Roberts Set To Return for Tom Hanks Film
Julia Roberts is set to make her movie comeback in a new film opposite
fellow Oscar winner Tom Hanks. The Pretty Woman star took a hiatus when she
became a mum in 2004, but now she has been lured back to the big screen by
her Closer director Mike Nichols. Roberts is in negotiations to play Texas
socialite Joanne Herring in the real-life story of US congressman Charlie
Wilson, who fought to fund the Afghan rebels' battle against the Russians.
Charlie Wilson's War, based on George Crile's book of the same name, will be
Roberts' first movie role since 2004's Ocean's Twelve. The actress is also
in negotiations to star in the second sequel of Ocean's Eleven.

Sequel alert!
Hunky actor George Clooney has signed on for another sequel to "Ocean's
Eleven." According to Variety, production for "Ocean's Thirteen" is set to
start later this year. Still no word on whether Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don
Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Carl Reiner, Julia Roberts and all the other original
cast members are expected to reprise their roles as well. But if the
is as good as "Ocean's Twelve," then we here at the Scoop think they should
pass.
> Kevin Spacey
Ummm...Kevin Spacey is way gay. The only way he'd make suggestive
motions at the cute blonde is if that "cute blonde" was packing some
fruit in his Fruit Of the Looms, if you catch my drift. And I know this
because my sister has a friend from high school whose younger brother
went hot tubbing with him once and he's also gay, so apparently there
was some, uh, tension going on.
My sister's friend David (not the gay hot tubber) is also the electric
worker that Julia Roberts and her husband took out for drinks on his
birthday a few years ago, so that rumor is true, too. I talked to him
personally - very nice guy. Just thought I'd toss in that one for no
real reason.
It would seem unlikely that an actress could become "America's Sweetheart" by playing a hooker, but it was the role of an implausibly winsome, adorable prostitute in Pretty Woman (1990) that secured that title-and superstardom-for the charming, leggy Roberts. The younger sister of actor Eric Roberts, the brown-eyed, beaming, coltish Julia first demonstrated her appeal in the 1988 girls-coming-of-age comedy Mystic Pizza. (Her first film, Blood Red which starred brother Eric, was made in 1987 but not released until 1990, after she'd become a "name.") She had a costarring role in Satisfaction (1988, later known as Girls of Summer), and then won a meaty part in the ensemble comedycum-tearjerker Steel Magnolias (1989), enchanting audiences (and earning an Oscar nomination) as Sally Field's fragile daughter. She then costarred in Flatliners (1990). But it was Pretty Woman that made Roberts, overnight, the hottest property in show business and an omnipresent magazine cover girl. (It also earned her another Oscar nomination.) The success of the mediocre Sleeping With the Enemy (1991) persuaded Hollywood that her name alone guaranteed box-office success-which the dismal showing for Dying Young (1991) dispelled. She made headline news by announcing, then canceling, her wedding to actor Kiefer Sutherland (she married musician Lyle Lovett in 1993), and wound up in Steven Spielberg's Hook (1991) playing Tinkerbell. After a self-imposed hiatus from work, and a retreat from tabloid headlines, during which she appeared in only one film (a cameo in Robert Altman's The Player in 1992), she made a return to majorleague stardom in The Pelican Brief (1993), followed by I Love Trouble, Prêt-à-Porter (both 1994), and Mary Reilly (1995). She seems to have weathered her personal storms, and retained her star status (earning up to that time the most money ever paid to an actress-some eight million dollars per film) despite two years away from movies.
