Speed Racer with Style
"I loved that signature blue polo he wore, so I equated that with a royal blue American Apparel shirt. And while Speed is racing he is always in all white - which would be hell to keep clean - but it looks SO good. The finely structured Mas Bomber Jacket matched with a pair of the Hilfiger Slim Jeans accomplishes an aerodynamic look perfect for racing in your Mach 5. For a little dandy flair, I threw in a Red Silk Ascot by Forzieri. The plain white slip on Van’s completes the white palette, while the “rough around the edges” red belt with a checkered buckle maintains that racecar spirit. As for the red Thomas Pink socks? Well, you have to watch the movie to find out why Speed always has to wear them".

Drugs and Detox

"Edie's pathetic life and death epitomise the dark side of the Sixties. She remains a potent symbol of the fickleness of celebrity. Her mind was wasted before her body followed through a lethal combination of drug abuse and contemporary psychiatric medicine. The horror of her decline is preserved on celluloid, and elusively in the lyrics of an iconic song.Chuck Wein was by now promoting her aggressively, charting out who she should meet and generally running her life for her. Several of Edie's friends had an uneasy feeling about this, not least because of Wein’s drug habit, but they didn't stop it. They probably reasoned that, even if Wein’s manipulation was parasitic, then so was everything else about that crowd, place and time.Andy Warhol was smitten by her, telling his principal collaborators that he wanted her to be the 'Queen of the Factory'.Beauty No2 also contains the first clear signs of Edie's instability that are recorded on film. At one point, she hurls a glass ashtray at Wein. A film of early 1966 suggests an alarming pace of decline, however. In a 33-minute-long monologue called Outer and Inner Space, Edie seems to be confused and distressed. She was certainly highly reliant on amphetamines by this time, and known to be using both hallucinogenic and opiate drugs too.An association with the drug scene was the last thing a successful mainstream publication wanted. The independents who might have been prepared to take the risk had little money, and Edie was too vain to contemplate taking the step down.Filming started in April 1967, but soon got out of hand. Almost everyone involved in the production had a dependency on drugs. In the summer of 1969, she was arrested for possession, leading to a further spell in a psychiatric ward. Here she met Michael Post, another drug-dependent patient, who would soon become her companion for what remained of her life". Source: www.bbc.co.uk

"Yeah, you won't recognize Jake Gyllenhaal," Bruckheimer said in a press conference on Sunday in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting his latest film, Confessions of a Shopaholic. "I've seen most of Prince of Persia. It looks fantastic."

The producer added that Gyllenhaal got his swashbuckler muscles the old-fashioned way. "No, no drugs," he countered to jibes against Gyllenhaal's sudden bulk. "No drugs. [He] just worked really hard."

"young, thrill-seeking hot-bloods trying to fight complacency and prove their power, popularity and existence by dealing drugs, partying hard and imitating the much glamorized and over-hyped thug lifestyle.EH: I think it's a good cautionary tale in a certain sense because you got this kind of party lifestyle world and get like this is oh it’s so crazy and there is a certain glorification of that. And I think that's what "Alpha Dog" does so I think it's even more important for young people to see this because as much as every kid may love rap or really violent music or violent video games its good for them to get just a healthy dose of reality so that they don't think it's just always going to end riding off into the sunset on a horse with no cops around. It's good to see consequences". Source: www.joblo.com

"If you think psychiatrists are latter-day snake-oil salesmen peddling prescriptions for everything that ails us, you’ll love how “Charlie Bartlett” skewers our drug culture.Charlie Bartlett is wearing a t-shirt that says: “People like you are the reason people like me need medication.” Charlie Bartlett is the irrepressible and cleverly manipulative title character of a new Hollywood comedy in which 17-year-old Charlie – just to achieve the popularity he craves – plays therapist to his classmates and hands out enough psych drugs to keep the average drug rehab center busy for a year.

These witless shrinks are only too willing to prescribe Ritalin, Xanax, Zoloft and all the rest of their chemical solutions for Charlie’s faux problems.
“Charlie Bartlett” the movie is about making it in life in spite of the shrinks and their wacko psychobabble and buckets of drugs. For those with the eyes to see, the movie satirizes, even skewers, the religion of psychiatry and its holy sacraments – an infinite number of mood-altering psychotropic drugs and endless litany of labels for every little complaint for which a drug is the ultimate salvation.America’s real drug problem, the movie says, starts with a generalized failure to just shut up and listen to each other – especially to our kids – and ends by drowning in a tsuname of prescription drugs. And it’s right on the money. Casualties of prescription drugs are overflowing drug detox and drug rehab facilities across the country with victims of all ages, having spread like cancer to the drugging of our children.

“Charlie Bartlett” suggests, we’re condemning a whole generation of Americans to lives lost in chemical dependence, substance abuse and the endlessly revolving doors of one drug rehab program after another". Source: blog.drugrehabreferral.com

Gay Gossip

"Drawing the line between physical, external characteristics and internal traits may not be so easy. Was Heath Ledger kissing Jake Gyllenhaal not physical? Is a man in sequins and a boa internalized?Sean Penn and Emile Hirsch in "Milk" (2008).

Over the past two decades, characters have been coming out of the closet and on the outside, the entertainment industry seems comfortable with the queer movement.
James Franco kissing Sean Penn in "Milk".

"Milk" (2008) was nominated for best picture. Shows like "Queer as Folk" and "Will and Grace" lasted multiple seasons. Queer characters pop up in shows from "The Office" to "24." However, think for a second.

The entire main cast of "Milk" was played by heterosexuals, as were the two gay males on "Will and Grace." "Queer as Folk" had three gay recurring actors, but the main two characters were played by straights.
Think about "Milk." Penn did a great job as Harvey Milk, but I'm sure that certain white thespians could play an amazing Martin Luther King, Jr. Yes, I winced a little as I wrote that sentence. Penn has the talent, but does that make his decision right? Surely, there must be enough gifted gay actors out there who could have done justice to any of the main characters in "Milk."

And there are gifted gay actors out there, even gay closeted actors. You may have your Lances and Ellens, but we live in a world where even David Hyde Pierce (whose success is by no means based on sex appeal) didn't even come out until a year ago. That should say something about the social environment. For every Neil Patrick Harris that comes out, I'm sure there are a dozen who are staying in the closet. Is "gayface" just a way to make the closet more inviting? If the only socially acceptable performer for a gay role was a gay actor, would things change?

“Gyllenhaal's not gay… and the gays all want him. They're done with Cruise, they've had it, he's too crazy…You know the gays are moody. You gotta keep up...”
--Comedian Kathy Griffin on Larry King Live, July 11, 2006.
But primarily we dish because we're selfish. The gay community is part of the human race and, just like everyone else, we're programmed to survive. But since we can't procreate in the sense that we can reproduce our own kind at whim or after a few pitchers of margaritas, we promulgate--we endure through declaration. We can find hundreds of pictures of Jake in spandex on the Internet, but all that makes him, I believe, is a straight man in "gay" clothing". Source: www.afterelton.com

Evan Rachel Wood: Pin-up session for GQ

Bettie Page was one of the first Queens of Bondage shows and pin-up girl photoshoots.
Below, Evan Rachel Wood in a photoshoot session for GQ magazine May issue, as a pin-up:



"Evan Rachel Woods posed for Terry Richardson photos and talked to the May issue of GQ.Henry Cavill and Evan Rachel Wood as Randy James and Melody in "Whatever works" (2009).

EVAN RACHEL WOOD IS THAT RARE AND RUINOUS combination of innocent girl next door and kinky neighbor down the street.
Best known for dramatic roles in Oscar-cred movies like The Wrestler, this is the girl who, at age 19, shot a blood-spattered sex scene with her boyfriend, Marilyn Manson, for one of his rock videos.

More recently, she was linked with her Wrestler co-star, the 56-year-old Mickey Rourke. “There was no truth to it, and it was so annoying,” says Wood, now 21, who is back with Manson after “taking some time” away from the relationship. Of Rourke, she says: “The friendship was intimate and nice, and this makes it weird.”

Yes, Wood is precocious (she mangled our hearts in Thirteen) but perhaps preternaturally wacko, too. Still, that danger—that unnerving energy, that aggressive sexuality—is what draws us to her. In conversation, she’s as likely to tell you about her next project (she might play Mary Jane in an upcoming Broadway production of Spider-Man) as she is to offer intimate details about neutering her pet cat.
