Team Brangie!

I wasn't going to write about how cute Brangelina looks in these photos after seeing them over at Oh No They Didn't. That is, until I saw on my twitter stream a messed up article about the Jolie-Pitts, ganked right out of gossip blogs, published on the Puerto Rican newspaper EL Nuevo Día.

What the hell people?!?! No wonder journalism is dead.

To which I say, TEAM BRANGIE! They soften this cynical bitch's hard cold heart and make me want to fall in love again.

They're just adorable.

El Papi Chulo on The Wolfman

The Wolfman is opening in theaters this week in the United States and El Papi Chulo to end all papi chulos, Benicio del Toro, has been in full force promoting the movie. This video is from 20minutos, in Spain.

So y'all know he's not just that gruffy voice and killer bedroom eyes, he's got producer credits for this little cinematic beast. From Benicio Del Toro - Wolfman Inspired By Del Toro's Memorabilia Collection - Contactmusic News:

We went to Universal with the idea. That is how you do stuff. You go to the studio."
And Del Toro is convinced his hairy appearance when he went to meet movie bosses persuaded them he was the right man for the lead role.
He adds, "I was in the middle of getting ready to do the Che movie. So I looked pretty much like a Wolfman! I looked either like The Wolfman or a smaller version of (Star Wars character) Chewbacca."

In this video, El Papi Chulo talks about approaching Universal with the Wolfman idea, watching old horror classics in Puerto Rican TV and identifying with the misunderstood monsters more so than their killers.

Awww!

MALDEF says Eva Longoria-Parker is a civil rights sheroe? Who knew!

Eva Longoria

So I received another press release that made me do a double take. MALDEF or the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund is having an OMFGGIVEUSMONEYNOWLOL! awards gala sometime in November and there were two "celebratees" (yes, i know am making that one up) that caught my eye.

First up, Eva Longoria, Desperate Housewives' own Chicana Warrior Princess. She seems to not only plunk a lot of money for a variety of Latino causes, but also does the walk by raising awareness about the plight of immigrant farm workers:

It is morally wrong to be sexually attracted to one of the Three Stooges

Throw it Curly
Larry, Curly, Moe

I have not found away to put my jaw back in it's place.

From MGM gets its 'Stooges' - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety:

MGM and the Farrelly brothers are closing in on their cast for "The Three Stooges."

Studio has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the physical dimensions of Jerome "Curly" Howard.

The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe.
[...]

The Farrellys have long had their eyes on Del Toro to play Moe. Del Toro, who's coming off "Che," showed comic chops in the Guy Ritchie-directed "Snatch."
[...]

I mean ... seriously. My head is going to explode just trying to process Benicio as Moe --and yet I will be seeing this movie when it comes out. I have now this sick need to see Benicio with a cereal bowl hair cut screaming at Penn and Carrey.

Oh lord. I can just picture it: "Gnuck, gnuck" is gonna become my new mating call.

QUOTES


The primaries are in a very true sense a practice run for the White House, and if you emerge with high marks, as Obama has, it's a pretty clear statement of the kind of government you would run. Obama has shown a steadiness in demeanor and message. Clinton has blown through $120 million dollars, and her persona is more confused than ever.
