Royal Wedding Hoopla

By now, everyone in the planet knows April 29 is the date Prince William will wed Kate Middleton in what those in the know calls the "wedding of the century".

Intense public scrutiny has been the main staple of the royal romance, but when Prince William proposed to Kate in October while holidaying in Kenya, and popping the question with her late mother Princess Diana's engagement ring, the world only got wind of it a month later when Buckingham Palace announced the engagement.

The wedding itself will be a national bank holiday in Britain, with the wedding service taking place at the grand Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. It is a Friday, chosen by the couple because it is the Feast Day of St. Catherine, Kate's namesake.

As to the wedding costs, the royals stemmed the speculation that taxpayers will shoulder the bill, saying that the royal family and the Middletons will cover those, thank you. The cost includes reception and the honeymoon, but sources say security and post-wedding cleanups are public services that will be picked up by ordinary Brits.

Post-wedding scenarios? Short of a divorce, that is? Life will resume for everyone, with Kate Middleton probably on to a lot of trips and charity work representing the royal family. And of course, popping out male heirs to the throne.  Busy, busy, busy! 

Congratulations, by the way!

Elizabeth Taylor: Goodbye, Miss Violet Eyes

Elizabeth Taylor, her with the irresistible violet eyes, is dead at 79 of congestive heart failure. Already, Hollywood seems a shade dimmer because of her passing.

For the younger generation who knows Liz Taylor more for her deep friendship with the late Michael Jackson, she was actually a very talented actress with a colorful career and an even more colorful personal life. With Oscar nominations and awards, seven husbands, and a trail of admirers all over the world, the word femme fatale must have been invented with her in mind.

She began her career at age 10, and her films like "Lassie Come Home" and "National Velvet" are still much-loved classics until today. She grew into a luminous beauty in "A Place in the Sun" and "Father of the Bride."

Elizabeth's love life has been well-publicized, but none more so than that with fellow actor Richard Burton. They were married and divorced a couple of times.

Hollywood will surely miss Elizabeth Taylor's star quality. She always dressed like a star, with her fabulous eyes, huge diamonds, and an unceasing love for life and never-ending quest for happiness.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart Got Married -- in Jeans!

They finally did it, and how! "Indiana Jones" Harrison Ford get married to long-time partner "Ally McBeal" Calista Flockhart -- he in Wrangler jeans and she in a white sundress. PopEater called it "the icing on the cake" of the couple's "eight-year relationship and 16-month engagement." And it was casual.

It was held outdoors in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Harrison Ford was filming "Cowboys & Aliens". He had the day off from work, right? So what the heck, let's get married!

Their inner circle are happy for the couple. Ford's son, Ben, says: "I think it is wonderful that they finally made it legit. It is really terrific news." Costume designer Bernie Pollack, a close friend, thought "This [marriage] will only enhance what they already had . . . They're both honest in their approach to life and to each other."

Congratulations!

Everyone thought Michael Jackson was broke when he died. News of the World (NOTW) reveals that he has left his children an incredibly large amount of money. The fortune will make his children -- 13-year-old Prince, 12-year-old Paris, and 8-year-old Blanket -- billionaires by 40. If they're careful with their spending, that is.

According to NOTW, Michael Jackson really died broke, but his death made him so popular that his lawyers cashed in on this through movie and music deals that got him $300M.

Michael Jackson's will splits this fortune 40-40-20 to his 3 children, his mother, and to charity. This leaves a trust fund of $33 million to each child. At 21, they will have access to a third of their money. At 30, half of it. And at 40, they get it in full.

His will forgot to mention his ex-wives, brothers, sisters, dad, and close friends.

New Moon: Pale Version of Twilight?

“The Twilight Saga: New Moon," maybe a hit with the teenage fans, but critics are lambasting the new Hollywood movie based on the best-selling vampire romance series created by Stephenie Meyers.

The Boston Globe, in particular, waxed eloquent, saying that the Hollywood sequel to last year's "Twilight" is "an anemic comedown after the full-blooded swoon" of the first movie. Critics complain of the dirge-like pacing of the story. They scored it low on dialogue and musical score, saying that these "bring out the book’s worst daytime soap tendencies."

The acting wasn't spared either, with Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson’s acting described as "all emo posturing", adding that "the actor suddenly seems to be embarrassed" to be in the movie."

What Happened to Demi Moore's Hip?

Sad days when a woman has to defend her hips, or the disappearance of it, from the world at large. The latest Hollywood news from the Huffington Post revolves around the "Photoshopping" efforts made on 47-year old Demi Moore's hips for the December issue of W magazine. In the cover, Hollywood actress Demi Moore wears a gold Balmain leotard, appearing incredibly thin.

While Photoshopping an image is a common occurrence in the magazine world, the Huffington Post wonders why Demi Moore's cover pic made an "anatomical wonder" out of the stunning actress. A closer look at her left hip in the photo seems to suggest a missing chunk!

Demi Moore denies she has been a victim of a botched Photoshop job, and has been defending her hips in her Twitter posts. She says she has been in the "skinny side lately", and tweets testily: “my hips were not touched don't let these people bullshit you!”

Who Will Replace Oprah?

Can anyone imagine TV without Oprah? Hard as it may seem to imagine, one thing is for sure: the TV-loving world will never be the same without the Queen of Talk - Oprah Winfrey. And when word got out that Oprah's self-titled TV show will end in 2011, talks of who will replace Queen Oprah at the throne of TV talk are becoming louder and louder.

The recent Hollywood news from PopEater is that there maybe several worthy contenders to the throne. PopEater says Ellen DeGeneres is a good candidate, having the gift of gab herself. Sarah Palin, on the other hand, has post-election fame and popularity, but it's a no-go because her political history may alienate massive portions of the viewing public.

Whoopi Goldberg can ditch the 'View' in favor of Oprah; she has the skills, smarts, and experience for it, while Ryan Seacrest can't shed his "interviewer" image and imbibe enough personality for daytime talk.

Shakira-Style Dancing Lawsuit Dismissed

Readers of The New York Post have been having a lively discussion on the merits of the dismissed case filed by 21-year old Megan Zacher, who will now go down in history as the girl who can't "Shake It Like Shakira."

Megan filed a lawsuit against Calico Jack's Cantina after falling down and shredding some knee ligaments as she danced in the bar's "Shake It Like Shakira" contest. Her suit claims that the bar should have told contestants that Shakira's signature hip-gyrations was "dangerous and likely to cause injury."

. . . Please wait while I lower my eyebrow. The left.

NY Post readers are passionate in their opinions, ranging from rants: "moonbat liberal loons who think others should pay for your own suptidity" to a sober "the girls were sprayed with water from the bar, creating a dangerous condition which caused substantial injuries."

Nicole Kidman Says Hollywood Demeans Women

"Probably."

This is what award-winning Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman answered when she testified at the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee, when asked by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, on whether the movie industry "played a bad role," according to AP.

Nicole Kidman should now what she is talking about, having inhaled Hollywood for a long time now. She testified as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), promoting the International Violence against Women Act.

She back-pedaled in saying that despite Hollywood's propensity in giving women demeaning roles, the industry has also made efforts to ending women violence.

"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career," she said. Good for her, because she has the privilege of picking her roles, but other Hollywood actresses, particularly low-megawatt ones, do not have the same fortune.
