@Penny: "5:55"--Air wrote all the songs on that album, right? (Look at us, Penny dear, dating ourselves by calling these things "albums.." Ha!) Very charming Euro muzak, but I still think "Lemon Incest" is Mme. Gainsbourg's finest pop music moment yet.
@BlondeGoddess: Really! The Balenciaga campaign should dovetail nicely with her role of grief-stricken mom and homicidal wife in the latest Larsie von Trier flick. According to some Cannes fest-related crap I read, the MPAA is demanding that von Trier re-cut the film, because as is, they won't even release it with an NC-17 rating.. Knowing how mule-ish von Trier is about final cut (and good for him), this might actually mean the film will never land in U.S. theaters.. =(
@snugbug: What happened to freedom of speech (or similar)? People are old enough to make their own choices to see a movie or not without the MPAA censoring. Crap.
Thanks for reminding me of this guy.. Is he still in the shmata trade? A real artist, IMHO. I was so moved by one of his pieces back in 2000--an overcoat he crafted out of the cover of a mattress on which his friend/neighbor Quentin Crisp had ailed and died. A poetic gesture wrought in fabric--although I can see whyit might've sent consumers + critics screaming into the woods.
@Diziet_Sma: She's just modeling for the campaign though, it's not 'stupidly named perfume' BY Charlotte Gainsbourg. I think that's what Watson was getting at. I could be totally wrong though.
@Diziet_Sma: Ah...yes....but...argh. Charlotte's a MUSE! She and Nicholas have a really close relationship and he's often talked about how much she inspires him. Whatever, I love her, I will defend anything she does, let's face it!
"The people I chose to run my new store in London are nice. I cannot work with bitches, I can't, I can't."
You and me both, buddy...though is he saying they're untalented? I don't think talent and non-bitchery are mutually exclusive. It's kind of a destructive mental construct to have.
Nicolas Ghesquière picked the intolerably cool Charlotte Gainsbourg to advertise Balenciaga's perfume.
This makes me happy. I am going to go on a mission to find these ads and make a scrapbook. And also do my best to not think of Anti Christ during said mission.

The news that Sam Jackson is "a huge Abba fan" is pretty much making my evening. Put him in Mamma Mia 2: Does Your Mother Know?, singing ANYTHING (if all the good Abba stuff has been exhausted, give him Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On"), and you have my twelve dollars, no questions asked.
'Kate Gosselin's brother Kevin Kreider and his wife Jodi Kreider were so outraged by Kate discussing her divorce on TV that they agreed to do an interview with Radar Online in their home minutes after last night's Jon and Kate Plus 8 ended.'
Yeah. Because giving an interview is totally the right thing to do when they're SO MAD about the kids.
I swear, this show has become a huge staged soap opera with appearances by cake makers and motorcycles. Not cool guys. Not cool.
@ihateyourescalade: I was very hesitant to wade into the Jon/Kate fray earlier today, because I felt like my opinion might have been shouted down, but....
The common denominator I've noticed in the downfall of relationships related to that family is Kate. Kate is the one who has lost the support of friends, family, etc. etc. If she were the innocent party, I feel like she might have more support. Just an observation...
I think based on Melissa Leo's description I should have met Christian Bale when he was in his Laurie or Jack Kelly phase. . .oh well.
Also, Sam Jackson, if you were such a good friend with Ms. Lloyd, you would have known about her involvment with Mamma Mia before awards season (especially as she also directed the play).
Famous last words, Sir Paul. Look out for falling satellites and out of control taxis. The gods of irony lock in their sights anyone who makes claims such as you have. It's science.
Are Carl's Jr burgers even good or as popular as other fast food/restaurant chains? They keep pumping out these sexist ads with their gross looking burgers. I mean if you're going to advertise food at least it should look appealing right? I love a good burger as much as the next person but if they think some random celeb writing around in a bikini and facefucking their burgers is going to lead to a surge in sales then maybe i'm not their target demographic but then who is? I hate to think that folks are choosing burgers on anything else other than price, fuck some ingredients, taste and quality.

True story.
She could shill for anything (except Wal-Mart) and I would still love her.

I like the twins' names--they're sort of from another era, yeah, but nice. As other said, it's better than something like Muffin and Scone.

Carl's Jr. is pretty popular in LA at least. Hardee's (in NC where I grew up) not so much.
