The world needs more of Gemma Arterton. She is a gorgeous 22 year old who is the new Bond Girl in Quantum of Solace. Ugh you say, but no! She is not your average Bond Girl. She was born with six fingers on each hand and a crumpled ear, all of which were corrected when she was small. She is very proud of not being perfect and confesses she was born with many deformities.

Okay, in my wildest dreams I would not be singing the praises of hunters, but apparently there are a few with a heart. Hunters for the Homeless is an organization that helps bring deer meat to homeless shelters and has fed over a million people. Read more here.
In Ouagadougou first ladies from the west African countries of Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Togo and Burkina Faso are coming together to try to put an end to the awful awful tradition of female circumcision (aka genital mutilation) that is happening in over 30 countries today.

OMG! I loved this book and didn't know it was already a movie! And I am loving even more that Queen Latifia is in it! Now if I could just break away from my kids to see it.
Yay! I think I can finally convince my husband to put in a solar system with these great tax credits:
Who didn't see that coming? Did anyone really think he was straight? Congratulations to Clay Aiken for finally coming clean! Oh and isn't he on the cover of People Magazine with a baby? Then congrats too on being a dad!]]>
Cameron Diaz is one of the only people I know who can pull off wearing BRIGHT red lipstick. I mean seriously, I would look like a clown in that. First of all I would need a good teeth whitening treatment before even thinking of wearing that color. Do you think the whitening stuff messes with your enamel.. hmm.. Anyway, she is shown here Oct.1, in Hollywood at the AFI Night at the Movies.]]>
I have to say Palin did so much better than I expected. I am still a Biden fan but he looked much more broke up than she did. At least his answers were backed with actual examples. What do you think?
Britney seems to be doing better these days. Shown here departing the "In Heights" Broadway Musical in New York yesterday.
