Cheryl Cole Dropped from US X Factor

Cheryl Cole was dropped from the US version of "The X Factor" TV talent show because American audiences cannot understand her accent. Cole, a major celebrity in Britain, appears to have been discarded from the show less than a month after arriving in the United States, and well before it hits US TV screens in September.

Cole is from Newcastle in northeast England, which has one of the country's strongest accents, and has admitted in the past that some Americans took time to adapt her Geordie brogue.

British newspaper, with tongue firmly tucked in cheek, said the timing of the snub was ironic because it came just days after the US President Barack Obama reaffirmed the importance of the US-British "special relationship".

CHARICE IS NOW ON GLEE

Wow when I heard the news that she’s in Glee, I feel very proud of this young girl. I can’t wait to see Charice go head to head with Rachel. I’ve heard that she’ll play a foreign exchange student with of course a powerful singing voice that will give a serious competition for Rachel. Go Charice…..

THE COLLECTOR

I just saw this last night. I do like this type of movies, especially since the coming of Saw and Hostel movies. If you're looking for some gore, then this is the movie for you, some of the scene even made me twitch a little because of the gore scenes. Some would say that this movie is like a copycat or is similar to a Saw movie, but for me i don't think it's that similar to Saw. Since in Saw Jigsaw gives his victims decision and a chance to save themselves, while the Collector does not, he will watch you in pain or die on one of his traps.

The downside of the movie, it made me think how the hell did he manage to setup all this traps. And who is the Collector? why does he collect this person, how do he selects this person, why why why. So many question to be answered. I hope they would make a second part of the movie that would further explain the motive of the Collector.

BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON TOGETHER AGAIN?

Yup they are back, but not as lovers as we might think. Former spouses Brad Pitt and Jeniffer Aniston joined forces to raise money for survivors of the Haiti earthquake.

It was only the second time since they announced their separation in January 2005 the Aniston and Pitt have been confirmed to be in the same place at the same time. The first time was at the 2009 Academy Awards, in which Aniston presented, while Brad Pitt and his partner, Angelina Jolie, sat in the audience. But despite the long awaited meeting, sources said the fo0rmer lovers did not cross paths. This time, they got together at the Los Angeles venue for the George Clooney organized Hope for Haiti telethon, It is believed that Jolie was not present at the event.

CARRIERS

It was kind of dragging at first, the slow pace of the movie sometimes would make you go to sleep. But the story of the movie itself was nice. It has a lot to say about being human, on how far you would go to save a love one? are you willing to sacrifice your love one just to survive. A movie that if in reality would test your bonds with the person you love and care. But for me its still a nice movie to watch.

CHANGELING

I rented this movie because of two things, Angelina Jolie and Clint Eastwood. The movie is about a single mom (Angelina Jolie) who after she returned home from work, discovered her son Walter is missing. She tried to called the police for help to find her son but to no avail. Then after several months the police claimed they have found her son. But upon meeting the boy, she immediately notice that the boy the police has bought is not her son, but the police insisted that the boy they have found is her son.

Angelina Jolie played the part of the mother beautifully, showing emotions of a mother not quitting to find her child. The movie though runs about 2 hours and a half, but with the story like this, you wouldn't even notice how long the movie was.

You should definitely get a copy of this, or rent it if your tight on the budget. It a nice movie to watch.

PROTECTION FROM PAPARAZZI

Jennifer Aniston, who has widely known for her role in the hit TV series friends. Has been named as the force behind a new state law in California, which will restrict the paparazzi in 2010 and beyond.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the new law allows for civil penalties against members of the paparazzi and media outlets that sell and buy unlawfully obtained photographs and video footage of people, including celebrities and their families.

Aniston told Times, "There have to be some boundaries. When you have children in the car and the photographers are rushing you, it's just absolutely out of control. Its become a public safety issue. Somebody's going to die if we don't do something."

The measure was signed into law in October by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

MOST COMPLEX CG HUMAN

The character of Aki Ross in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (USA, 2001) is composed of over 100,000 subdivided polygons; she has 60,000 hairs, each individually modelled and animated, taking up a quarter of the computer processing power, and 16 motion capture cameras were used to create and animate her body.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY

One of the most funniest movie in the 90s, this movie help catapult Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz careers to new heights. The movie is outright hilarious and heartwarming.

The story is about Ted(Ben Stiller) who met a beautiful girl Mary(Cameron Diaz) during his teenage years. Their romance falls a short though as Ted accidentally got his dick caught in his zipper, which result being carried off in an ambulance, never to see Mary again.

Thirteen years later, Ted decides to track down Mary, and have a second chance with his dream girl. He hires a private eye, Pat Healy(Matt Dillon) to find her for him. Pat finds Mary whose all grown up and was way hotter than before. Pat decides he wants to date her. He stalks her, finds out everything she wants in a man, and poses as just that. Meanwhile, Ted has been led to believe that Mary has become fat white trash in a wheelchair.

As the story goes along almost every man in the story tried to make a move on Mary.

The movie maybe in the 90s but it still give me the laugh every time i saw it.
