PARIS = Mc Cain as BRITNEY = OBAMA

Yupp! Our blondes have said their opinion. I found this article to be quite interesting because you don't see a lot of media (blonde celebs especially) to be concerned with politics and especially the election. I read the comments from people who read this article saying that Britney is messed up in the head and obviously doesn't know what she is thinking. But isn't Paris the same too? Come on, we're all a little messed up in the head, no one is perfect! "What we decided to do is find the top three international celebrities in the world, and I would say from our indications, Britney and Paris came in second and third," said campaign manager Rick Davis. "Will people think of this as negative advertising? Look, it is the most entertaining thing I have seen on TV in a while." He went on: "It is not our campaign that is trying to make him into an international celebrity. It's his campaign... I don't know Paris Hilton and Britney Spears but they are international celebrities, so, you know, apples to apples."

In the end, the ad may tell voters as much about McCain as it does the Illinois Democrat. It was not too long ago that McCain's campaign released a memo -- authored by Rick Davis -- saying it was "critical" to "run a respectful campaign focused on the issues," no matter which the Democratic nominee emerged. Since then, the presumptive Republican nominee has launched attacks on Obama's patriotism, has blamed his opponent for high gas prices, and has accused him of willfully snubbing the troops.

Update: Obama himself has responded: "You know, I don't pay attention to John McCain's ads, although I do notice he doesn't seem to have anything to say very positive about himself. He seems to only be talking about me... You need to ask John McCain what he's for and not just what he's against."

Interview: Secret Life Of Bees Featuring Queen Latifah

As August Boatwright in The Secret Life of Bees, Latifah translates her immense energy and warmth into a maternal strength, playing the oldest of three sisters who take in a white orphan and her black caretaker at the height of the Civil Rights movement. She talked with a room full of admiring journalists about playing a black female character who isn't a stereotype, cooperating with her bee co-stars, and toward the end, things got a little political. Queen Latifah wants you to know you have no idea who she'll vote for in that voting booth!

How was working with the bees?
I was like, look guys, I'm not gonna smash one of y'all. Just don't sting me. And they were very fine to me, since they get moody sometimes, especially when it's cold outside. And we shot on some kind of chilly days.

How did you get yourself into the more emotional moments of the story?
Music is very important to me. I connect probably quicker through music than I do through any other medium. I could literally play one verse of a Clark Sisters record, or eights bars, and something strikes me in such a way that it brings me right there. Usually I'm looking to some type of gospel, which tends to get right to my spirit. This movie, I can honestly say, I was so present. I was so in August's body. It was like, I know this person. I felt like these are my sisters. This is where we live, this is what we do, Zach is my godson, all these women are my friends. I just felt her. I felt connected to where we were, what was going on at that moment. Like I said, more than any film that I've done in a long time.

Did you have relatives or ancestors who personally experienced the Civil Rights movement?No, not really. I'm not related to any black person in the country... of course I got relatives! [The entire room bursts out laughing] My dad works with me on a lot of movies. Any question I had, I can just ask him, for someone who was actually around at that time. I also kind of grew up in the South. My grandmother and my aunts and uncles, a lot of them were from Maryland and Virginia. I experienced some racism in New York. Just go try to get a cab, you'll feel it. They'll pass me and pick you up. That immediately connects you to how painful it is. That's the kind of things that affected me as a kid.

Mariah Carey still Battles Racism?

As a Filipino, I've heard a lot of things about Mariah Carey against Filipinos or generally speaking ASIANS. I'm not that offended though, because I personally don't know her. And I wouldn't stop listening to her music because of it. But does she fight her own racist battles? There are tons of articles stating that people forget that she's half Irish and half African American. Yet I think that she's being a hypocrite saying that people are sometimes ignorant. How could she possibly say that when she offends another race. I think that's very contradicting of her to say that especially having it on articles. I think that someone should put her on check too. Maybe this is karma for what she said and what she called Asians or Filipino (still not verified)"Brown Monkeys"

ContactMusic.com reports that Mariah Carey often has to scold people for making racially insensitive remarks. The singer, whose mother Patricia is Irish-American, and late father Alfred Roy was African-American said, “I’m in a room a lot of times with only white people, and they forget and say things that are offensive - and I have to put them in check. And I’m sitting there and I’m thinking I’m either going to have to leave or I’m going to have to talk about it. After travelling the world, I think racism, or ignorance, is everywhere. It’s in the US, Italy, France. Even in certain Latin American countries, where it’s a very mixed society.”

Could Jennifer and John Mayer light the flame? We all have to admit she's pretty lucky from moving to Brad Pitt to John Mayer! Even after a good heartbreak after Pitt, she and John Mayer have been getting more rumors than ever.. right? I don't they do enough on Jennifer after the break up. Now it's all about Jolie and Brad. haha it's sad but true. If you really thinkg about it.. when do you really know that a celeb couple is really together? Hard to say, but I think that they could be getting back together.. but who knows.. anything is a possiblity!
"They looked like they were having a fantastic time," says one observer of the Saturday night dinner. A source close to John adds, "They were hanging out this weekend."

Aniston, 39, in New York on business, dined with Mayer, 30, on oysters, ravioli with mushrooms and black truffles and fish. The actress returned to Los Angeles on Monday.

Even though his summer romance with Aniston is now a thing of the past, Mayer, according to a friend, is "someone who is known for staying connected to people he cares about and for staying friends with people he's been linked to."

Not everyone remains convinced a re-match might be a good thing. Says one pal: "If they are back together, Jen is not bragging about it to her friends."

Ford Keeps his Indy Title

Remember all those rumors that Shia LaBeouf might end up taking over from Harrison Ford as the new Indiana Jones? Ford put a nail in the notion of that coffin in an interview, and there is no way is he giving up his hat to a kid.

Ford says that not only are there no plans to transition the franchise to Shia in the future and, “that's never been [the idea]. As George has famously said, we'd have to call it 'Mutt Jones: The Search for Elvis.' [Laughs.] I think it just doesn't work that way.”

Indiana Jones is a classic adventure. It has been out for the longest time, and with Shia LaBeouf in it now, it does add a little spice. The old and new adventures are anticipated by the public and loved by the viewers. However, it does not mean it should be changed to ruling out the man and star of movie.

Unfortunately, that probably does not mean the franchise won’t still go on, just with more of the aching, creaking, increasingly CGI’s Harrison Ford in his traditional role. Given the choice between Mutt Jones and the Search for Elvis or Indiana Jones and the Colostomy Bag of Doom, we might all have been better off if they’d gone with Mutt Jones. At least Mutt does not wear comfortable, sensible, static-free grandpa pants.

Angelina Beats Down the Rumors

Lately, if you picked up a mag, ANY MAGAZINE (particularly the tabloids), you would see blasted across the front page on how Angelina Jolie is going through depression and how she is so stressed and how she is just so overwhelmed. Well Angelina has gone on the record to smash those rumors to the ground. In an exclusive, new interview with Hello! magazine, Angelina Jolie firmly denies rumors that she is overwhelmed with the kiddies or that her relationship with Brad is in the pits.

Angelina says that she and her family don't pay much attention to rumors, because their lives are full of rainbows and puppies and bake sales and unicorns and lots and lots of money. "We have fun, we have each other, and we have a lot of love in our life," says Jolly Jolie. "And anybody who has love in their life has something that is much more important than anything else" - even those nasty rumors. And what about the 3-month-old twins? Angelina says, "They're good babies, and pretty much on schedule. They pretty much eat every three hours, so I've arranged breaks in my day around that." Of course Her Royal Perfection would have perfect, punctual children.
She talks about how she loves to watch the twins interact, and adds, "You reach a point where you almost think that to have one baby alone would be kind of lonely."

Like all other parents, the family struggles to balance work, play, and the kids, saying that when they go out - which is no small affair - they find it easier to hang with other parents because other parents are "more respectful of our privacy than many people because they understand what it's like just to want to be with your kids. Parents are much kinder to us than some other members of the public." But of course, people still want to take pictures, and when the kids ask why, Brad and Ange tell them it's because of their parents' particular profession. Which Angie says she is ready to get back to, after a year long hiatus. Ever the perfect "best friend," Brad supports Angelina all the way, reminding her that her work is an integral part of her. No wonder she calls him one of her "favorite people."

Hilton-Rihanna '08

The best satire in this year's elections probably would have to be Paris Hilton. I don't know if you saw her commercial on funnordie.com, but it featured her in her swimsuit by the pool while she propsed her energy plan. Afterwards, she went off air saying that she had to be on her way to pick up her VP pick, Rihanna. I thought that that was funny, but it also saddened me a little bit. It saddened me because Paris Hilton kinda made some sense in that commerical, a feat which honestly...is almost a statistical impossibility. You know that democracy is in shambles when Paris Hilton is making just about much sense (or even more) as two high ranking government officials. Nothing against Paris Hilton or any other celebrity. But I think she is a satire for our current political candidates. The two major contenders sound a lot like celebrities, whose proposals may have some sense but are full of generalities. If anything else, I expect both McCain and Obama to deal with the specifics and come up with more sophisticated arguments. If this year's elections is all gonna be about posturing again (as the candidates are making it to be), then maybe the WHite House really would be no worse than if Paris and Rihanna were in it.
