Pics of people who make me feel good

Beside of your warm company, dear Weirdos, whose appreciation I cherish immensely, there are some persons in my life whom I want to dedicate this post. Thank you for supporting me through thin and thick!

This is not a personal picture of Penny Lane, our wonderful Guest Star in Weirdland, but a gift she so generously sent me a few days ago: the hardcover book edition of "Edie: An American Biography", thank you a lot, Penny Lane!

Reese leaving a skin clinic

"Reese Witherspoon is known for toting the most understated, yet pricey bags ever. From her Lanvins to this new black woven Bottega Veneta hobo, Witherspoon is never calling attention to herself by way of handbag. And I must say that’s pretty refreshing. Of course, when you have a good lookin’ boy like Jake Gyllenhaal on her arm, it’s a little tough to wear anything that might upstage him".

"Fresh from her European promo tour, Monster vs. Aliens star Reese Witherspoon was spotted leaving a skin clinic this afternoon (March 17) in Brentwood, CA.


Could the 32-year-old actress be in the process of prettying herself ahead of a wedding to beau Jake Gyllenhaal? So says Star magazine!

Reese was apparently wearing a new engagement ring when she showed up for an Avon commercial shoot at Sony Studios in Culver City, CA." Source: www.fadedyouthblog.com

The ring rumour

"Reese was apparently wearing a new engagement ring when she showed up for an Avon commercial shoot at Sony Studios in Culver City, Calif., Star says. We'd only be guessing if we thought Jake was the one that gave it to her.

"It was gorgeous, and everyone noticed it right away," a supposed witness says. "But she took it off as soon as she saw people staring. Reese stuffed it in her bag and didn't put it on again the rest of the day."

Now we know this can't be true, because there's not a woman alive who wouldn't be flashing a rock the size a Hollywood salary buys".

"Reese Witherspoon has revealed she would love to be invisible.

The Hollywood actress voices a character in new 3D animation film Monster Vs Aliens and said she’d like to try being invisible if she was a superhero.

She said: “It would be nice to have just every superpower, why do I have to choose just one?! I would probably choose invisibility, it would be nice to escape out of certain situations and of course spy on people.”

Reese, 32, added that she would use her powers for a bit of good and a bit of evil".

Jake took his shirt off during yoga class

"When I saw the news that Jake Gyllenhaal took off his sweaty “Facebook Addict” shirt while running in California yesterday, my first thought was not “I must find the picture of Jake Gyllenhall shirtless!!” But “I must find a picture of that shirt Jake Gyllenhaal took off.”
Like many of us, I love Facebook, (Not sure what classifies as “addiction,” but if I had a therapist she might tell me “it’s something to keep an eye on.”) and wanted to see that shirt".

Kristen Stewart at "Adventureland" premiere

Kristen Stewart in an orange with black strips backless Hervé Leger dress, at the premiere of Adventureland held at the Mann Chinese 6 Theater in Hollywood on 16th March.
"Adventureland", this totally cute and angst-filled (which K does so well) comedy, focuses on Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg’s effed-up romance. Jesse, the new Michael Cera btw, plays an awkward virgin, whereas K is more of the dark, know-it-all gal. So are they both like that in real life?

“Not at all,” chimed J. “She’s the awkward one,” when it comes to love, he joked about his costar. But what does Kristen have to say?
Laughing in agreement, K added, “I think my character had no concept of what she wanted,” which apparently is so not like Stewart.“She [Stewart’s Adventureland character] feigns that she’s very fine and self-sufficient," K blabbed. "She realizes too late she can get over her hang-ups and be good to herself—she is kind of self-loathing and doesn’t treat herself well.”

God, Ms. Gets All the Hot Guys, we hope you’re not like that then. “Oh no! I love myself,” she admitted proudly, laughing.

Dancing with stars

"Jake Gyllenhaal and Jim Carrey will star in a modernized film adaptation of Damn Yankees, produced by the folks behind Hairspray.

The musical — which was produced for the first time in 1955 — centers on Joe Boyd, a married man "whose devotion to a hapless pro baseball team prompts him to make a Faustian bargain with the devil to help the team." Varitey continues:
He's transformed into slugger Joe Hardy, in exchange for Boyd's soul. Boyd can break the deal, but the deadline occurs during the World Series. For good measure, the devil engages Lola, a gorgeous lost soul, to seduce the slugger and seal his fate.
Gyllenhaal will play Boyd, while Carrey's the devil. It's the first time either of them has done a big-screen musical, though Gyllenhaal's showed us his singing chops on SNL before and Carrey had that whole Cuban Pete number in The Mask".

Film adaptation of the George Abbott Broadway musical about a Washington Senators fan who makes a pact with the Devil to help his baseball team win the league pennant.

Not only Jake has proved his singing skills, he is a pretty consumated dancer too, see examples of his rhythmically hot dancing, hoofing it:

Shallow rambling

I didn't have any intention of alluding to this personal story of mine, since many can consider it as shallow rambling, but I haven't been able to sleep too well these last nights with an odd turmoil disturbing my peaceful and boring daylife routine. All of you, dear weirdos, know of my recent (last of now) crush on actor Emile Hirsch. Maybe you have read my article and seen my fan-videos. Well, my crush was an inch of being ruined, unfortunately in cause of my "democratic" rule of behaviour, on-line and off-line (although thanks God I haven't experienced such things probably since highschool in real life). I need to get this off my chest and hopefully to kiss valeriana goodbye for awhile.

I tried not to take sides in a battle that had started time before I even admitted Mr. Hirsch's charms to myself. I was relatively new when some fans made some decisions which I was totally neutral about. But I simply conceded to listen to the other confronting part, only listening and trying to look for a bit of truth since this part claimed that decision as unfair. When someone approaches me (several times) and claims there's been an injustice, and although I refused initially to answer this person because I knew it could cause me problems with the rest of fandom, I just listen to the reasons that they have to offer.

Well, that's what I did, I listened to a person who wanted to explain what had happened according to her version. I'm sorry to say all this derived in me being terribly misunderstood by both parts, because sometimes the good actions tend to be punished. This rocky issue added to some more typical problems I had put up with at home, have masked my mood with a semi-depression, but I couldn't say to anyone I felt bad.

So I want to end this private self-pity rambling anti-party giving a little advice:

Be careful of wanting to be fair. In our time, that's just wasting precious bandwith, and the results will invariably disappoint you. It's a shame I didn't know the game better at this point, but I guess that total indifference isn't my style. And it's hard pretending to be what you are not.

Review: ‘Zodiac’ Director’s Cut (Blu-ray)

"The way I’d best describe Zodiac is almost as a documentary. The film makers went out of their way to make sure that the depiction of events was as close to the actual events as possible. You can see the attention to detail in the sets and clothing but most importantly, in the depiction of the crimes that the Zodiac killer is infamous for. Watching the special features, you see the efforts that they went through to make sure that nothing was left to chance, as they involved as many people connected to the case as possible.

All of the actors do a spectacular job, but particular attention should be given to Gyllenhaal and Ruffalo. They both hold the film together, and it’s their characters that we follow through most of the film. Robert Downey Jr plays the Robert Downey Jr character, which means he’s a sarcastic drunk who doesn’t play by the rules. You can look at this as a good or bad thing, depending on your opinion of Downey Jr. I took it as a good thing, as he brings some humor to an otherwise fairly bleak film. All in all, the entire cast does an extremely good job of bringing the time period to life".

Brokeback Mountain's superb Blu-ray

"Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play two cowboys who, despite their traditional backgrounds, find that their close quarters and isolation in the wilderness leads them to a much more non-traditional relationship. They struggle mightily with their desires for a normal, traditional existence, and their desire for each other. The movie also featured breakout performances by Michelle Williams (as Heath Ledger’s wife Alma) and Anne Hathaway; each tries to cope with their increasing awareness of their respective spouses’ situations that run counter to their own moral beliefs.It was really great to see the late Heath Ledger onscreen again. I also watched The Dark Knight this weekend, and it along with Brokeback Mountain really brought home what a staggeringly good actor Heath Ledger was. His work will be missed – very few actors could inhabit a character with such ultimate believability. You’ll have a difficult time bettering the presentation of this excellent movie than with this superb Blu-ray from Universal. Very highly recommended". Source: www.audaud.com

Jet engines

Seeing these pics of Jake at the Bourget Airport, you can notice the spirals in the private jet engines. It caught my eye, because it's a kind of dejà vu of the jet engine that mysteriously fell over the bedroom of Donnie Darko in the beggining and the end of the film."Point B is the point at which an airplane engine lands on Donnie Darko's house. It is also the point at which the tangent universe begins. It is unclear as to why or how the tangent universe begins, but in the main timeline Donnie is killed, while in the tangent universe, Donnie is sort of called out of his room by a mysterious force and thus is not killed by the engine. As the movie goes, shortly after point C, the entire universe (I assume this includes the main timeline as well) is destroyed". Source: kaedrin.com/weblog
