Freida Pinto
Let me clear that up for you. She recently broke up because she and her partner weren't 'compatible.' So that's why she's jumping around like a single woman. It's because she is. Very pretty. I'm wondering how her hollywood career will be moving along. Will she get big or will her career be like one mediocore movie, like Aish's? I guess only time will tell.

Rihanna
I agree it wasn't the most gracious thing to do. What some people will do for money.... On the other hand, now it has become public, there's no denying that it was bad. With no picture, Chris can always go out and say the claims were exaggerated and seeing how she wants him back, I think it's a fair guess that she would be prepared to have said the same thing. Now they can't and that's a good thing. Apparently he's bought her an Ipod to make it all good again. <_< I can see it now: "Honey, I'm sorry you lost your eye, but look on the bright side: I would never have bought you that Ipod if I didn't feel guilty. Besides, that prostetic eye is pretty cool, isn't it? Did you notice they gave you the wrong color? You're like David Bowie now. Totally old school. Wait. He got that from drug abuse. Ah well, kiss and make up?"

The Official Academy Awards Thread
I thought Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz totally deserved their Oscars. Kate because she was already nominated 6 times, but never got it and Cruz because she proves she's not just a pretty girl. As for the men, it totally surprised me that Penn won. He was obviously the best, but I didn't think he was popular enough. I liked it as well that he chose the speach to get people thinking about marriage between gay people. In a country as free as America, they should have the same rights as anyone else. I agree with him completely. Slumdog millionaire won everything else ofcourse. I'm not surprised. These times aren't the most fun ones and I guess people need feelgood movies like that one to brighten their day. The kid with the autograph book was adorable though. And Heath Ledger. Well, I'm glad he won. Even though he isn't there to see it, atleast he'll be forever remembered as the great talent he was.

Taken
What, noone liked this movie? I loved it! Sure, it's has a Bourne vibe, but Liam Neeson rocked the role. He has a great voice too. The girl who played the kidnapped daughter was good as well. She genuinly seemed scared, while most actresses just scream and you think *yawn, I could do that.*

The Official Academy Awards Thread
Everyone is allover Slumdog Millionaire to grab the oscars, but I hope it doesn't. It was a nice movie, a good way to spend a couple of hours, but no masterpiece. I enjoyed "The curious case of Benjamin Button" much more and not just because I like Brad Pitt as an actor. I haven't seen Wrestler and they say Mickey Rourke gave the performance of his life, so it's prolly going to be a toss up between the two of them. As for supporting actor, I used to be against those post mortem oscars (I mean, what use are they if you're dead?) but Heath Ledger did give a performance of a lifetime and he does deserve to be remembered by that. As for the females, I'm going for Kate. Angelina already has an oscar and Kate has been nominated 6 times, but always missed it. So I hope she grabs it this time. On the other hand, I'd like to see the look on Jennifer Aniston's face if it turns out she has read Angelina's name as the oscar winner. Hehe. What? I never told you I was nice......

Hancock was the WORST movie!
I think I'm the only one here who actually liked the movie. I think most people tripped over the fact that it's not a balanced comedy. Hancock mixed funny scenes with drama and it I guess that's where it failed for a lot of people. At first it's real funny and light, (though I always thought the character looked slightly depressed througout the movie. Kind of gave him the aww-you-poor-thing factor) and when the movie progresses you expect more funny scenes to come and when they don't, it's like "Huh? Wait. This was a comedy! Now it's not even funny anymore!" I actually think that's the strength of the whole movie. Instead of sticking to the same old concept, the director decided to make this mish-mash (which was pretty risky) and I think it worked out really well. A bit like the last Blackadder episode, where you expect it to be all fun and laughs but instead you find yourself getting all teary-eyed. But hell, what do I know? I do know I've watched more movies than I can count over the last five years and Hancock wasn't the worst. But then again, I'm prolly also the only one who thinks Slumdog Millionaire wasn't the masterpiece everyone says it is. So shoot me.

Jessica Alba
^^I agree. It's like she lost all her fashion sense ever since she had her baby. The hair/fringe is awful, the outfits are horrendous....I mean, she's only 27 and she used to look fabulous. Sure, I get that she's busy as a mom and has other priorities than her looks, but if she goes through the trouble to dress at all, why not dress nicely?

First Kiss <3
^^Don't worry hon, it'll happen at the right time. I had my first kiss when I was 14, at a party. The boy was 17 at the time and he apparently knew what he was doing, for I certainly didn't. It was quite....well awkward. I just didn't really know what to do, so I just let it happen. It wasn't bad, but not like I'd imagined. I haven't really had time to improve my kissing expertise, because I've only kissed like, 3 guys after that over the years. ;-) I'm sort of "hard to get" in that way. Not intentionally, but if I am going to kiss someone, I want it to be someone I really like, you know? My friend gets into misunderstandings frequently because she ends up kissing guys at parties and they're under the impression it meant something and she's like "you can't be serious." Haha

Twilight
The first, obviously. I read it before it was tainted by the hype. Also, I don't like Jake's character that much. Sure, you got all the psychiatrists jumping up and down about what a bad influence Bella is to young girls and how Edward's behavior is supposedly a red flag for an abusive relationship (I take it all these goofballs are still without wives and such. Seriously, worry about that kid with Schizophrenia, instead of analyzing a YA book to death. Before we know it, we've got a new terrorist organization called Meyerpires, who consume people's blood in the name of Edward.... ) So yeah, the first is the best. Bella got a bit too whacked in New Moon, so it was hard to understand why Wolf Boy was so into her. Also, there werewolf thing has been done many times before and better. Just read "Bitten" by Kelly Armstrong and you'll understand. Eclipse was a bit better, though Edward proceeded to act like an overprotective parent in the first half of the book. The "ultimate battle" disappointed me too. Breaking Dawn...well let's say that the chemistry between Dazzle Sparkle and Perfect Dull Girl wore thin.... Hey, that's fine. I actually enjoyed myself as well. It's just that the Cullens left a whole trail of babypowder behind them and the baddies were just....bad. No matter how much I liked James' six pack.

Looks vs. Personality
I've been thinking this over for a while, and come to th conclusion that though my entire statement about how personality is THE ONLY thing that matters, it's simply not true. I think the two things co-exist. I've met gorgeous people, girls that were as pretty as Jessica Alba and guys that match whatever poster boy you have put up as the ultimate fantasy. Some were nice, others weren't. And what really surprised me is how much their appearance is influenced by their personality. I remember this beautiful guy (yes, beautiful was the only word for him) and I wanted to like him (heh, as did the 20 other gals working in the store) but he was just so arrogant and irritating, I went cold on him within a minute. He suddenly looked very different from the way he did when he walked in. I don't know if I'm making sense. It also works the way around. Who else has grown attracted to people they didn't notice at first? Like Q's example, I'm betting there are many more out there.

Boob-to-butt ratio
hmm visuals. I think you're just looking for an excuse to post Keyra Agustina. She's like the billboard advertisement for girls with small boobs (but with a great ass). Anyway, for all the boys secretly keeping tabs on this thread, I'll set the example for once and who knows, this thread might grow into a another 100 page visual of bums and flat chest appreciation Anyway, here we go: Keyra: What can I say? Her ass is better known than her face. You don't have to be a scientist to see that her ass definitely outmatches her bust in the size department. Keira Knightley: One thing I always noticed about Keira is that unlike other lollipop skinny girls, she actually has very "normal" (as in slim-not bony) legs and a bum. That's also the reason why she's not on my too-skinny list. I mean, her bust is as flat as Samantha Ronson's but where sam actually looks like a 10 year old boy on meth, Keira still looks like a woman. Visual: here's a pic that illustrates this well:

Well, I got a whole bunch of movie screencaps, still, so if everyone feels like guessing, I'm happy to supply the pics. But I'll wait to see what Joe wants.

Yeah, it was an upgrade by fakefactory for the game Half Life 2. The female character Alyx is replaced by a next-gen version of Adri. If I had a comp to support the specs, I'd download it, but oh well.....

Oops sorry, I kinda let myself go I was simply sifting through my random collection of screencaps, thinking "how fast will they guess this one?" and just started putting it up. Sorry Alien777, didn't mean to take your turn!

Yup, correct! Trust your second thoughts, I'd say. Anyone have a clue on which episode?

That too, KK is and always will be gorgeous I was just wondering. Belly buttons are pretty much the ugliest feature on a body, and hers is non existent.

I actually think 2007 was better than 2008. Maybe it was the music. There's no denying Adriana's figure is better in 2008 show, but the make-up ruined her look. Also, did you guys notice the public responded a lot less than they did in 2007? In 2007, Adriana walked in and pretty much took off the roof. And that moment Ale walks up and people instantly started clapping and cheering. You didn't have that in 2008. When Adriana came in with the diamond bra, there was hardly any response. What had been advertised as "the big surprise" barely seemed to draw attention. In 2007, she model goddesses seemed to be goddesses: they had everyone at their feet. It made it easier to suspend your disbelief. In 2008, all the pretty kisses, over the top smiles, and hip shaking looked oddly rediculous. I wasn't as impressed with Doutzen as I thought I would be either. She's like a...perfect barbie. Beautiful, but boring. She's from my country, so naturally she scores higher with me because of that, but Candice was the real blonde looker in my opinion. And what the hell happened to KK's bellybutton?!

Hair
No problem Glad I could help. To get it that shiny, here are a few pointers: -I stopped blow-drying my hair and I used some deep conditioners. -Also, I use a hair mask every week (deep conditioner, leave it in for 20 mins, after shampooing and you'll have really smooth shiny hair. And not to advertise, but that John Frieda Color Glaze for brunettes really works. Great shine and it revives hair color. It's just very expensive. But there are cheaper versions out there. -I don't comb it while it's wet: to detangle, I simply use my fingers. -I only comb it twice a day, to prevent damage. Also your hair doesn't get greasy quickly when you do that. - I don't use harsh rubber bands, just those soft ones, or chinese hair sticks. They look pretty cool. - When that pic was taken, it was a week after the dye job, so the color was real fresh. Also, they chopped off a good piece of my hair, so all that was dead was gone: instant thickness.
