Miranda Kerr: I Had a Baby Boy with Orlando Bloom!

It is indeed a son for Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom.

Baby Flynn arrived on Jan. 6, weighing 9 lbs., 12 oz., says the model on her Kora Organics Web site on Tuesday, confirming widespread speculation. She also posts a photo of herself nursing "our beautiful little son."

"I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him," she adds.

"We are so happy and are enjoying our time together as a family. He is our little ray of sunshine. Thank you everyone for your beautiful well wishes and your lovely thoughts."

Blair Waldorf's An Impulsive Shopper Because Of Her Last Name

 

Say what!?
Researchers want us to believe people with last names near the end of the alphabet are more likely to make impulse purchases than those at the beginning of the alphabet.
Here's their crazy explanation:

"The idea holds that children develop time-dependent responses based on the treatment they receive. In an effort to account for these inequities, children late in the alphabet will move quickly when last name isn't a factor; they will 'buy early.' Likewise, those with last names early in the alphabet will be so accustomed to being first that that individual opportunities to make a purchase won't matter very much; they will 'buy late.'"

The findings are inneresting, but couldn't these researchers do something more productive with their time? Like figuring out how to cure diseases???
Just sayin'.

Hits and misses at the Golden Globe awards

The goddesses in green reigned supreme at the Golden Globes.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie and Elisabeth Moss all looked real gems in their emerald gowns as they walked down the red carpet at the awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

But other stars turned heads for all the wrong reasons. What were J-Lo and Halle Berry thinking? And those mis-matched shoes weren’t the only odd thing about Helena Bonham Carter’s outfit. Here we rate the night’s best – and worst – dressed leading ladies...

Helena Bonham Carter

Perhaps the most elegantly dressed person who walked the red carpet was Angelina Jolie. Considered as one of the best dressed actresses, she sported a sea green gown designed by Atelier Versace. It was full sleeves, with deep back, and was tight around the waist. The glittery dress complemented the envious body of the superstar, and one must agree, that the dress and the star, both of them complemented each other. The other Hollywood hottie, who preferred to go green was Catherine Zeta Jones. Where Angelina Jolie’s dress was slim fitted, the “Mask Of Zorro” star donned a bell shaped, shoulder-less gown from the Monique Lhuiller Pre-Fall 2011 collection. The envious gold detailed gown worn by Olivia Wilde, was one of a kind. However, this shoulder-less and bell shaped gown was not what stole the attention. It was her golden high heeled stilettos, that added a dash of spark to her look.

Addictive?....

If you know nothing else about Inception, at least know this: it is not a trick. It is ingenious but not crafty, knotty but not duplicitous. It has neither Memento’s method conceit nor the smoke and mirrors of The Prestige. To contrast it with the latter, in particular (fine film though that is), is to appreciate the difference between stage-magic and a real miracle.

Johnny Depp stars as an American tourist whose playful dalliance with a stranger leads to a web of intrigue, romance and danger in "The Tourist." During an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, Frank (Depp) unexpectedly finds himself in a flirtatious encounter with Elise (Angelina Jolie), an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path. Against the breathtaking backdrop of Paris and Venice, their whirlwind romance quickly evolves as they find themselves unwittingly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse...







Like two Persian cats who have been drugged and somehow trained to walk side by side down the street, those exotic A-listers Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie make a curious spectacle. These pampered exquisites star in a glossy, silly, occasionally amusing caper set in Venice – remade from the 2005 French thriller Anthony Zimmer, and borrowing a little from Polanski's Frantic, with something of Live and Let Die in the chase sequences. Jolie plays a haughty, beautiful woman of mystery with lips as big as a Dalí sofa. She is first seen sipping a coffee in a Paris cafe while under surveillance from some flics hunched in an unmarked van – their leering sweatiness signalling, naturally, that they are about to be royally outwitted. She receives word from her top international criminal lover, instructing her to travel to Venice (as opposed to Middlesbrough or Ashby-de-la-Zouch) and make friends with any guy with his approximate height and build, just to convince the cops that it's him in heavy disguise. So Jolie swans off and chats up a bedazzled tourist – a long-haired, goateed maths teacher played by Depp. She intends to get rid of him once he's served his purpose. But that special, indefinable spark between them keeps the pair together in dangerous situations and tourist locations.
The facial expressions of Depp and Jolie are jammed respectively on "droll hipster" and "enigmatic sexy" and never change, even when they are being shot at or chased across loose-tiled rooftops by gangsters. Jolie, especially, seems so glassy-eyed that she is giving off a distinct Dannii Minogue vibe. She has lots of scenes walking down the streets with Italian men forever turning round to ogle her: doing everything but mouthing the word "phwoar" and frantically pumping their forearms. And all the while Jolie is doing that mysterious smile, as if advertising a scent whose logo is about to appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

The movie is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, famous for the more serious spy drama The Lives of Others, and the screenwriters are a fascinating lineup: Donnersmarck himself, Christopher McQuarrie and Julian Fellowes. Perhaps, Donnersmarck reworked the basic story, and it was McQuarrie's job to do the action stuff and Fellowes the elegant comedy. There is some Cowardian romantic business on hotel balconies that surely had to be Fellowes, and I'd be prepared to bet that he did some of the funny lines Depp has at the beginning, nervously lapsing into Spanish when he should be speaking Italian. Unfortunately, the funny side of the film is abandoned quickly, and the muddled plot disappears bubblingly into the lagoon.
