Late day linkage...

Helen Mirren goes commando at the Oscars? Helen, speaking about her one of a kind Christian Lacroix gown, told Oprah Winfrey on Oscar night "It was all made for me so I didn't have to have any underwear." Grasping her breasts to illustrate her point, she added: "It fitted me like two angel's hands. I cried when I put it on, it is a work of art."

Is Former Vice President Al Gore being called a hypocrite? He is by some who say his Nashville mansion uses way too much energy. "In general, I applaud his efforts to reduce energy consumption, but if he is going to be a spokesman for global warming, he has to be willing to make the same sacrifices." said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

UPDATE: My friend Carrie posted a comment that read: I've read that we should take the Gore report with a grain of salt. Some research has shown that the Tennessee Center for Policy Research is supported only by conservative people, which makes their research suspect. I completely agree with Carrie. I'm absolutely sure that any "research" they have done is going to be biased. I'm sure the folks who run the Tennessee Center for Policy Research are the same type of folks who won't even admit Global Warming is even an issue. Thanks Carrie!

Wanna be featured in a Gucci advertisement? All you need is a camera, some Photoshop skills and the know the right people to call. A Swiss man shot his own Gucci ad and then acting as a representative from Gucci sent the photo to the Swiss Sonntags- Zeitung Newspaper to be included in Sunday's edition. He told the newspaper to send Gucci the bill. They did! The conman has managed to dupe the owners of Swiss newspaper into publishing a two-page advert he created of himself posing semi-naked beside a bottle of Gucci perfume. The man, who claimed to represent the Italian fashion giant, called up the Swiss weekly Sonntags- Zeitung last week to book the expensive colour spread in Sunday's edition. Brilliant! I bet a a ton of starving models wished they thought of that. What great exposure! (Until he is caught, at least!)

Want your own Britney Spears "Ready for Rehab" doll? Look no further than eBay. It's true - you really can find everything on eBay! A quick search on eBay results in multiple listings for Bald Britney dolls. Now if I can get my hands on a "Kevin Federline - Dad of the Year Doll" I'll be set! wink wink.

Agreed Carrie! I posted a little update in the original post. I'm SURE that the report is biased. For the amount of good he has done, there is always going to be someone trying to undermine is affect and influence. They can't hide from the truth forever. Thanks girl!
