Nude Football Player
NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez makes another amazing play! But this time it's not one of his record breaking receptions, it's his all-star move for animals. The football sensation and his wife October are baring it all in a PETA ad to tell people to wear their own skin and let animals keep theirs. In the ad, Tony and October say "we'd rather go naked than wear fur."
You can hear Tony tell you about how his nearly-vegan diet helps him on and off the football field in exclusive video Q&A with him and October here!

Elephants In Zoos
That's right. India, which is home to an estimated 23,900 to 32,900 wild elephants, will no longer allow its most prominent national symbol—the elephant—to be imprisoned in zoos. The move by India's Central Zoo Authority (CZA) comes after years of campaigning by PETA India to improve conditions for captive elephants (it has already succeeded in getting performing elephants banned from Mumbai and other cities). Check out this moving ad above featuring Bollywood star Rahul Khanna.

The film will be the directorial feature debut of Joann Sfar, the award-winning French graphic artist. Sfar also wrote the screenplay.
Serge Gainbourg (Vie Heroique) is being produced by One World Films in conjunction with Universal Pictures International Studio (UPIS) and Studio 37.
The film is the first local production that UPIS has co-produced in France.
It is One World's second film project following Alix de Maistre's Pour Un Fils (For A Son).
The film traces Gainsbourg's life from a young boy named Lucien Ginsburg in 1940s occupied Paris, to his subsequent transformation into the world renowned poet, songwriter and singer Serge Gainsbourg.
Speaking about Joann Sfar, Christian Grass, president of UPIS said: 'His cutting edge creativity and unique take on the character of Serge Gainsbourg is what really drew us to this project - the first local language film we'll be co-producing in France.'
Universal Pictures International retains French theatrical distribution and home video rights to the project and will release the film in France in 2010. Studio 37 holds the international sales which will be run by Kinology.
Eric Elmosnino stars as Gainsbourg, Laetitia Casta plays Brigitte Bardot, while Mylene Jampanoi takes the role of Bambou.
Frederique Dumas of Studio 37 said: 'The film combines two worlds, Joann Sfar's and Serge Gainsbourg's, the magic of one and the emotional strength of the other. The script is beautiful, and Joann's cinematic vision is unique, which gives the film a universal appeal. We are extremely happy to be collaborating with Universal on a film led by two such talented producers.'

| X Factor and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole versus Lily Allen - again |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|01:53 am] |
Ding ding – it’s Round 278 of the feud between Lily Allen and Cheryl Cole. And they’re both clearly still up for battle.
Organisers made sure their paths didn’t cross backstage at the Children in Need gig by making sure their dressing rooms were far apart. But we saw Lily on feisty form as she got a ringside view of Chezza’s song via a monitor – belting out a comic “Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love”.
She tried to score more points by mimicking her Geordie rival’s soldier dance footwork and cracked herself up by punching the air.
The two famously fell out when Lily first boxed Cheryl into a corner by calling her a “stupid bitch” on her blog – and Chezza, right, hit back by branding Lil a “chick with a dick”.
So if they ever get the chance to square up again face to face to swap more insults, it’ll be a case of... knock yourselves out, girls!

| Who said P2P never helped anyone? Indie filmmakers thankful for piracy |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|10:43 pm] |
Hollywood often complains about the billions of dollars allegedly lost due to piracy. Indie film makers, on the other hand, tend to welcome the free buzz generated when their film is pirated. The makers of Ink belong to this latter group, and are thanking the hundreds and thousands of people who downloaded their movie on BitTorrent.
Written and directed by Jamin Winans, Ink is the story of a brutal mercenary who appears in the dreamscape of a comatose 8 year old called Emma. Like virtually every movie nowadays, the film ended up being ripped and put on BitTorrent just a few days ago.
In this short time span it was downloaded by more than 400,000 people on BitTorrent alone, earning it a spot in TorrentFreak’s chart of top 10 most pirated movies this week.
For most Hollywood bosses this is usually a trigger to start complaining about lost revenue, but the makers of Ink are welcoming their new pirate audience.
( PIRACY PRIDE!!!! ) |
