Has Alanis Morissette finally been won over head over feet?

Beyoncé has revealed that she had trouble convincing her label to release her first album.

The star recorded her hugely-successful debut solo LP Dangerously In Love in 2003 after departing from Destiny's Child. However, the singer has claimed that it almost remained unreleased, Contactmusic reports.

She said: "In 2003. I had my first solo album. But when I played it through for my record label, they told me I didn't have one hit on my album.

"I guess they were kinda right, I had five. 'Dangerously In Love', 'Naughty Girl', 'Me, Myself and I', 'Baby Boy' and 'Crazy In Love'."

Here's a great piece at ESPN about Toronto Maple Leafs and U.S. Olympic Team General Manager Brian Burke, and his son Brendan's coming out:



"Your dad thinks through everything. Dad is big, confident and continuously radiates a persona that is rough, gruff, unrelenting and unapologetic. He has a cold, expressionless poker face straight out of a Clint Eastwood movie. Yet, he does this all with the most subtle of Irish smirks that says there is more behind this thick skin.

" And there is. He calls you "Moose" because you have always been a big kid. He cares very deeply about you and your happiness. You say he has always been there when you needed him. And he has a great sense of humor. Imagine that. But on this night in 2007, you are petrified of your dad. Because you, Brendan Burke, at 19 years old, are about to tell your dad, Mr. Testosterone, that you are gay."

Moz on Desert Island Discs - download it here (41 min)
MORRISSEY has revealed his thoughts about life, death, suicide and being alone, in a frank interview.

In the interview for today’s (Sunday) edition of Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, presenter Kirsty Young asked him: “Have you thought about being in control of your death?”
He replied: “Yes, I have. And I think this self-destruction is honourable. I always thought it was. It’s an act of great control and I understand people who do it.”

Later asked which luxury he would take to make his life more bearable on the mythical island, Morrissey, 50, laughed:
“Well, I would either take a bed, because I like to go to bed. Or I would take a bag of sleeping pills because I might want to make a quick exit. I would really take the bed, I think, because going to bed is the highlight of everybody’s day. I like to be hidden and I like to sink – it’s the brother of death. It means we can switch our brains off when we go to bed and forget about ourselves.”

Hattie Collins

There are many places you might expect to find an A-list star in Hollywood, but a scruffy dance studio at the wrong end of the Walk of Fame isn’t the first that springs to mind. The homeless and the addicted hustle the star-spotting tourists who wander wide-eyed into souvenir shops selling Michael Jackson memorabilia, utterly unaware that, two floors above them, his youngest sister is rehearsing the choreography for her new single, Make Me.

“I love the natural light,” says Janet Jackson, nodding towards the huge windows that look out onto the gritty streets below. She's devoid of make-up and dressed in black tracksuit bottoms and a grey cashmere top, a low-key look that matches the location. There is no big entourage in tow, either, just her personal assistant and a publicist. It’s surprising to find such a huge celebrity in such understated circumstances, particularly given the intense scrutiny the Jackson family is under following the loss of its most famous member in June this year.

“People don’t really know, they don’t look in,” she says, staring back to the boulevard once more. “Nobody notices.” Brief respite, perhaps — since she appeared on stage with the Jackson 5 at the age of seven, all people have done is peer portentously at Janet Damita Jo Jackson’s professional and private life. “Certain aspects [of fame] aren’t easy, but I’ve been fortunate,” the 43-year-old says of life in front of the lens. “There are always paparazzi, but there are restaurants or places that they don’t know you frequent. And the people there are loyal, so they stay quiet.”

Summary: After receiving an invitation to write the biography of the severely reclusive author Ethan Church, Bella develops a reluctant obsession with his novels and by extension him.

A/N: WIP, AU. Beta'd by Miss Poison (Twilighted) and Feisty Y. Beden (FFn and Ravelry). Part of this story (going to meet a reclusive author to write their biography) was inspired by The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield.

Confrontation

Always making sure to fit in quality family time, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took their son Kingston to the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood on Saturday (November 28).

The No Doubt frontwoman and her Bush rocker hubby both looked casually stylish as they escorted their eldest son in to see “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, recent reports tell that Gwen is cracking the whip on the owners of a Minnesota bar who have been playing her music without the proper license.

Stefani (as well as the rock band Bon Jovi) has filed a lawsuit against Sally’s Saloon and Eatery in Minneapolis, asking them to stop playing her music without the legal right to do so.

Srs bb's death stare still wins tbh .

David Blue has revealed that he has spoken to producers about returning to Ugly Betty, after bowing out of the ABC comedy series last year.

The actor, currently starring in Syfy's Stargate Universe, played Cliff, who was a love interest to Wilhelmina Slater's faithful assistant Marc.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Blue admitted that he would love to reprise the role, and has had talks with the Betty team about a possible return.

"I've always felt from the beginning that I would love any opportunity to go back," he said. "I think Cliff is a really important character and he's great fun to play. I love working with that cast too.

"Cliff and Mark's relationship is a story that deserves to be told. There have been talks here and there about coming back, but it's never quite worked out."

He added: "I hope that at some point during my hiatus that we can work something out because I'd play for as long as they'd let me!"

It’s one of the most coveted roles in the film world, being a Bond girl.

Glamorous locations, heavenly beaches and, of course, the chance to get intimate with a dashing leading man means there’s never a shortage of actresses to take the part.

But it often leads nowhere; just ask Maryam D’Abo, Carey Lowell, Talisa Soto, Izabella Scorupco, or any of the other girls whose careers stalled after locking lips with Her Majesty’s finest.

Since making her breakthrough as Vesper Lynd in 2006’s Bond reboot Casino Royale, Eva Green has bucked that trend, choosing interesting, unconventional roles proving she’s more than an admittedly very pretty face.

Another promo from The Misanthrope.

( Bigger, +3 under the cut. )

I loved this movie, but I really think they're off with these - def. not Best Actor & Best Picture material. They need to start promoting Karen O, and her amazing soundtrack! I really hope "All Is Love" at least gets a nod for Best Original Song.
