 STARS
AND CELEBRITIES OF THE YEAR. FROM THE MOST BORING TO THE
MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES. By Maximillien de Lafayette.
THEY ARE FAMOUS, BUT,
THEY ARE NOT BETTER THAN YOU!
There are 4 kinds of
stars-entertainers in the world: 1-The talented; 2-The talented and the
lucky; 3- The lucky; 4- The lucky and the boring. All, except the
"unlucky" make money. Big time money. Millions and millions. Sometimes,
the most boring ones are the luckiest and among the wealthiest. And this
tragic reality has nothing to do with talent or lack of it. Many extremely
talented artists will never see their names in light. They don't lack
creativity or talent. They lack luck, a good agent, an effective
publicist, a shrewd manager, good contacts, business and promotion
strategy, and above all, they desperately need an "OPPORTUNITY", or a
break...Read

 All time femme fatales and divas of the film
noire.
The
femme fatale, is an irresistible dramatic and dangerously attractive
woman. She is "la Femme" who directs men toward the abyss of
danger. Ironically, the literature of the sacred and the damned does
not include hommes fatales. Even, Charles Boyer, Jean Gabin and Tyron
Power do not fit the description of a fatal persona. La femme
fatale dates back to classic myth and ancient folklore. Astarte (Ashtaroot
in Aramaic and Phoenician) was one. Circe, is another half woman half
divine femme fatale who turned Odysseus' men into swine in Book X of The
Odyssey and the Sirens, whose beauty and alluring song attracted his
sailors and high seas adventurers...Read

 WHY
MOVIES STARS, CELEBRITIES AND ORDINARY WOMEN POSE NAKED?
By Maximillien de
Lafayette. Brigitte Bardot:
"Animals walk around naked and they have more loyalty than men. I have never
been betrayed by my pets. But I have been cheated so many times by men and
women who were fully clothed..."Josephine Baker: " I will strip by the name of
God, if I have to feed those orphans...".
WHY SOME
WOMEN STRIP IN PUBLIC AND WHY STARS POSE NAKED? For one million reasons.
And it has nothing to do with money, as many ingenious minds and rednecks
believe or imagine. Kate Moss does not need to pose naked to make money. She
appeared in full armored clothes on major glossy magazines covers. And she
earns zillions, just by holding a product or looking at the camera. She does
it because it is part of the fabric of the business. Almost 88% of stars and
celebrities, including university professors, anchorwomen, women-wrestlers,
top executives and moms posed in the nude at one time in their lives and
careers for pragmatic, incomprehensible reasons, fantasy, celebrity quest,
notoriety exposure...

 REVISITING
SUPERSTARS AND LEGENDS: ANN MILLER.
Once upon a time, she was number 1.
 The
star of forty motion pictures and Broadway shows, national tours and
innumerable television appearances, Ann Miller has been tap dancing since her
earliest childhood days. Ann began her Hollywood career at age eleven, and
with her vibrant personality, great legs and her tap dancing, won a seven year
contract with R.K.O. at the age of thirteen (claiming to be eighteen). She was
so remarkable that by age fourteen, she played Ginger Roger's dancing partner
in "Stage Door", which started a Motion Picture Career that spanned 20 years.
During that period, Ann appeared in more than 40 films. At fifteen, Ann was
"borrowed" by Columbia to appear with James Stewart and Jean Arthur in "You
Can't Take It With You" which won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1938.
That same year, back at R.K.O., she appeared with the Marx Brothers in "Room
Service". She left R.K.O. and starred on Broadway in the George White Scandals
of 1939 and 1940. Following her initial contract with R.K.O., Ann came back to
appear in the Rogers and Hart musical...Read

 THE
HOLLYWOOD FILE:
THE MOST REMEMBERED
CINEMA DIVAS, ICONS AND LEGENDS.
Icon' -- like 'diva,' 'legend' and 'genius' -- has become a
bastardized term, a cliché applied by hack
publicists to everyone from faded disco
queens to Suzanne Somers. In a cultural sense, what does 'icon' really mean?
Consider the differences between Marilyn Monroe and Meryl Streep, Elvis
Presley and Elton John. An icon is not just a star but the blueprint for
scores of imitators. Icons touch, dazzle and mystify each new generation, very
often for tragic reasons. How compelling it is to watch people dance
closer to the flame
than most of us would ever dare; to take what we covet -- fame, beauty, riches
-- and disdain it or destroy it...Read

THE MASTERPIECES OF GODARD:
One of Godard’s masterpieces, in which Marianne Renoir (Karina, who was
divorcing the director at the time), accompanies Belmondo’s Pierrot, who has
abandoned his wife and children in Paris, on a doomed escape to the
Mediterranean. The movie is important for its themes of alienation and
brooding narcissism, especially revealed in a party where mannequin-like
capitalists spout American TV ad copy instead of conversation...Read

Kim Novak leads rustic life.
"What would I be doing if I still lived
here?" Kim Novak mused. She supplied her own answer: "I'd be spending my
afternoons shopping on Rodeo Drive." Instead, she has chosen to live in a
wooded paradise near Ashland, Ore. Called Windsong, it's a place she and her
husband, Bob Malloy, share with golden eagles, geese, deer, elk and a host of
other wild fauna, not to mention a barnyard full of farm animals. "We have two
or three hundred acres (80 to 120 hectares), including two large islands," she
reported. "The main channel of the (Rogue) river runs past
the islands. A smaller tributary passes in

 SUPER ENTERTAINERS
By Maximillien de Lafayette
Daryl Sherman:
Although
she is relatively a “new” leading presence of the new generation of singers
and pianists, Daryl Sherman has been already recognized by peers and critics
as the brightest shining star of the contempo jazz artists caravan.
Influenced by Ella Fitzgerald, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Julie Andrews, Doris
Day, Rosemary Clooney, Joe Williams, Mildred Bailey and Sarah Vaughan,
formidably trained by her father Sammy Sherman (A former Jazz trombonist in
New York city during the golden big band era) at an early age and fueled
with passion for music and singing, Daryl had to make her mark on the world
of music and entertainment, for singing, performing and playing the piano
were and still are a major part of her soul and life. At age of five, Daryl
began to sing American standards and imitate her father on a daily basis...Read

profitable advisory service for other players. Give Walter money,

 In
Her Shoes: Strong acting lifts it above standard chick-flick
Photo: Maggie (Cameron Diaz, left)
and Rose Feller (Toni Collette), with nothing in common but size 8
feet in "In Her Shoes." (Twentieth Century Fox/ Sidney Baldwin).
There's a scene in In Her Shoes in
which Cameron Diaz and Shirley MacLaine sit around a TV set with
some neighbours at a Florida retirement community, watching Sex and
the City and sipping that show's signature cocktail, the
cosmopolitan. In Her Shoes seems to be striving for that series'
same mix of witty insights into female relationships and romance
with weighty tearjerker moments. Everything about the film cries out
to the same core audience: the source material (Susannah Grant's

Welcome

There are, generally, two types of show
biz folk. There are the rock stars who take their craft terribly
seriously and disdain the mundane parts, such as answering the same
interview questions over and over again. And then there are the rock
stars who are simply grateful to be a rock star, and are too
gracious to outwardly tire of the duties, no matter how tiresome.
Alice Cooper is in the latter group, and if you didn't know, or
wanted to hear it again, he'd tell you all over again why it is that
he's forever confused with Ozzy Osbourne when it comes to biting the
heads off birds.
