Report: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to Adopt Syrian Child - Breitbart

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly looking to expand their family by adopting a child from war-torn Syria.

A business associate of the Hollywood power couple told the UK’s Daily Express that Jolie has been emotionally affected by the conflict raging in Syria.

“She has been moved to tears on several occasions over the plight of youngsters orphaned in the Syrian conflict,” the unnamed associate, who has reportedly known the couple for a decade, told the paper. “Now she has sorted out her health issues, she and Brad believe the time is right to adopt another orphan from there, most likely a daughter.”

A new child would bring the Pitt-Jolie brood to seven; the couple already has 13-year-old Maddox, from Cambodia, 11-year-old Pax, from Vietnam, 10-year-0ld Zahara, from Ethiopia, biological daughter Shiloh, 8, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 6.

Last month, Jolie underwent surgery to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed due to her family’s history of cancer. Two years ago, the actress underwent a double mastectomy. Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died from ovarian cancer in 2007 at age 56.

“This is something that has become very close to their hearts,” another unnamed friend of the couple told the Express of the adoption plans. “They would like to accomplish it, if possible, before the end of summer because, even though they are both busy, their diaries are relatively light for most of 2015.”

Jolie has visited Syria at least six times, touring refugee camps in her role as UN special envoy for Refugees. In December, the actress revealed she “would consider” pursing a career in politics if she found she could be “useful.”

'La Dolce Vita' Actress Anita Ekberg Dies at 83

Felipe Ruiz de Chávez

NBC News.com

Anita Ekberg, the Swedish-born actress and sex-symbol of the 1950s and '60s who was immortalized bathing in the Trevi fountain in "La Dolce Vita," has died. She was 83.

Ekberg's lawyer Patrizia Ubaldi confirmed she died in Rome Sunday morning following a series of illnesses. She had been hospitalized most recently after Christmas.

Ubaldi said that in her last days Ekberg was saddened by the illness and her advancing age.

"She had hoped to get better, something that didn't happen," she said.

Ekberg had long lived in Italy, the country that gave her worldwide fame thanks to the iconic dip opposite Marcello Mastroianni. The scene where the blond bombshell, clad in a black dress, her arms wide open, calls out "Marcello" remains one of the most famous images in film history.

Born on Sept. 29, 1931, in the southern city of Malmo, Ekberg grew up with seven siblings.

In 1951 she won the Miss Sweden competition, after being recommended to enter by organizers who saw her on the street, and went to the United States to compete for the Miss Universe title.

She didn't win but became a model in Hollywood and later started taking on small acting roles.

Her role in Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" — where she played a movie star — shot her to stardom. The movie was a colossal success and came to define the wild and carefree days of the early 1960s.

Hosting a Swedish radio program in 2005, Ekberg recalled shooting the scene in the Trevi Fountain in Rome. She said it was shot in February, the water in the fountain was cold and Mastroianni was falling over in the fountain drunk on vodka.

"And there I was. I was freezing," she said. "They had to lift me out of the water because I couldn't feel my legs anymore."

"I have seen that scene a few times. Maybe too many times. I can't stand watching it anymore, but it was beautiful at the time," she said.

Ekberg remained in Italy for years, appearing in scores of movies, many forgettable. She returned in two Fellini movies: "Clowns" and "Intervista."

Ekberg married Briton Anthony Steel in 1956, but divorced him four years later. In 1963 she married again to actor Rik van Nutter, but that marriage also failed.

In an interview with Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet in 2006, Ekberg said her only regret in life was never having children.

"I would have liked to have a child, preferably a son," she was quoted as saying. "It didn't turn out that way. That's life, you just have to accept it."

In the interview, published in connection with Ekberg's 75th birthday, she also said she wasn't afraid of death.

"I'm just angry because I won't get the chance to tell others about death, where the soul goes and if there is a life afterward," she was quoted as saying.

"I don't know if paradise or hell exist, but I'm sure hell is more groovy."

Ubaldi said a ceremony would be held in the coming days at a Lutheran church in Rome, and that Ekberg had specified that her remains be cremated.

Artist Uses Penis to Paint Portrait of Kim Kardashian's Naked Butt

breitbart

by Kelli Serio 

Danish artist Uwe Max Jensen recreated Kim Kardashian's butt-baring Paper Magazine cover using his penis as a brush.

Jensen was reportedly so impressed by the shape of Kardashian's back side, that he used it as inspiration.

"I saw this picture of Kim Kardashian and this very impressive behind she has, and I thought, 'This must be portrait number two,'" said Jensen, via EOnline. 

So how did he pull it off, why did he do it, and does size matter? Jensen explains:

I have my penis in one hand and the canvas in the other.
I have a very skilled penis, art-wise.

It is hard to do an entire canvas using only one's natural brush.
If one is ill-equipped, it is difficult to reproduce the small details, but if one is well-endowed, it is easier to produce a better painting.

My penis is an organ. I need it to reproduce, and for sex and joy.
But I can also use it in my art, and that's joyful for me on more levels.

Jensen posted several photographs of the painting to his social media pages, and also a few NSFW ones of the creative process to his blog. 

This marks Jensen's second penis portrait. The first was of a Danish politician.

Jensen told the Daily Pot he tried to send the final product of his painting to the politician on Facebook, but he was blocked.

Actriz Mia Farrow reconoció haber recibido dinero del Gobierno de Ecuador para atacar a Chevron

panampost

La actriz estadounidense Mia Farrow reconoció que la firma estadounidense de relaciones públicas MCSquared PR, contratada por el Gobierno de Rafael Correa, le pagó para que visitara el pozo petrolero Aguarico 4 y defendiera a Ecuador en la contienda legal que mantiene con la petrolera estadounidense Chevron.

En febrero de 2011, una corte ecuatoriana ordenó a la petrolera el pago de una sentencia de US$18 mil millones —luego reducida a US$9,5 mil millones— en concepto de indemnización por la supuesta contaminación derivada de la explotación de pozos petroleros en el país.

“Ellos pagaron mis honorarios por dar conferencias —lejos de esa suma. No hubiese ido si no creía en la causa”. (The Washington Free Beacon)

Farrow admitió haber recibido dinero de MCSQuared PR a través de un mensaje en la red social Twitter, que horas después fue eliminado.

Según la investigación publicada por The Washington Free Beacon, Farrow cobró US$188.000 para viajar a Ecuador, visitar el pozo petrolero y atacar a la empresa estadounidense. La actriz  negó que se tratara de esa cifra. El desembolso es parte de un contrato que MCSquared PR celebró con el Gobierno ecuatoriano por US$6,4 millones, según consta en los registros del Departamento de Justicia estadounidense.

La actriz no habría sido la única estrella de Hollywood en recibir un pago. Entre los registros de la firma contratada por Ecuador figura un desembolso de US$330.000 a American Program Bureau, la compañía que representa al actor Danny Glover, quien también visitó Ecuador en el marco de la campaña que lleva adelante el Gobierno de Correa contra Chevron.

“Chevron nunca ha operado en Ecuador. Texaco Petroleum (TexPet), que se convirtió en una subsidiaria de Chevron en 2001, fue un socio minoritario en el consorcio para la producción de petróleo en Ecuador junto con la petrolera estatal Petroecuador, desde 1964 hasta 1992″, sostienen desde el sitio web de la petrolera.

En marzo de este año, una corte del Estado de Nueva York determinó que el proceso judicial en Ecuador fue resultado de fraude y crimen organizado, y consideró el fallo inejecutable.

Michael Jackson’s Son Prince On School Trip to Cuba

Showbiz411

By Roger Friedman

This is not Snakes on a Plane 2: Michael Jackson traveled all over the planet but he never visited Cuba. So now his son, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., aka Prince, gets the chance. Prince sent out an Instagram selfie holding plane tickets to Cuba. He left on Friday with his school group from the Buckley School in Los Angeles. Yes, that is correct. I think when I was 17 our school trips were to the Statue of Liberty and the PT Barnum Museum.  We have stopped at McDonald’s. But times change!

Prince also has become something of a snake charmer. According to his Twitter account, the son of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe is raising snakes at his family home in Calabasas, California. The snakes are named Sparta and Athens, and they live in a cage Prince built for them himself. According to my source: “Basically Prince was raised in a zoo–Neverland– so now he’s got all kinds of animals. Katherine [Jackson, his grandmother], isn’t crazy about the idea.”

As for Paris Jackson, although she makes trips home on breaks, it does look like she’s going to stay at her boarding school in Utah until she graduates from high school. Last June she tried to commit suicide, and eventually was sent to the school. My source says she doesn’t like it, but Mrs. Jackson “is afraid to bring her home.” In any case, Paris appeared in a couple of photos on Prince’s account recently and looked very happy.

Meantime, two books are coming in June around the time of the 5th anniversary of Michael’s death. One of them purports to deal with Michael’s finances after his 2005 and then really touts the executors of his estate as miracle workers. (The Jackson fans will probably boycott that one.) The other is by two bodyguards who were with Michael post-trial for a couple of years, but not with him when he died.

One last piece of Jacksonian trivia: Majestik the Magnificent, the Jackson family friend and personal magician, has been quite ill. He just posted– or someone posted for him on Facebook– an update. But I’m told he’s been hospitalized for some time, possibly thanks to a brain tumor that immobilized him. Majestik had been staying at the original Jackson home, Hayvenhurst, thanks to the largesse of Katherine Jackson. Everyone wishes him a speedy recovery.

Sharon Stone Sues Bob Yari Over Aborted Cuba Trip To Shoot Hemingway Biopic

 

Deadline.com

The actress claims the director-producer wanted her to falsify documents and turn down other jobs to shoot Papa in Cuba in late 2012. Sharon Stone names Bob Yari and his production companies Magenta Light Productions and Sixth Floor Literary Properties as defendants in a lawsuit filed today in LA Superior Court. The suit claims that Yari and his companies “lied to [Stone] and attempted to lure her into being a participant in their fraudulent scheme to avoid the legal licensing requirements of the United States government.” It also alleges that she was induced “to forego other projects and commit to making [Papa] based on Yari’s false representation that Defendants had obtained the necessary documentation to shoot the Picture in Cuba and to enable Ms. Stone to travel to Cuba to render acting services.”

Stone claims she was advised to “check a box on her license application indicating that she was going to Cuba for a ‘cultural endeavor’ rather than” for an acting job. Had she done so, she says, she “would have subjected herself to a host of potential criminal liabilities and placed her passport privileges in jeopardy.” The actress never made the trip to play Ernest Hemingway’s last wife, Mary, and she says the role was recast. Marty Singer and Michael Holtz of Lavely & Singer are representing Stone in the suit, which seeks at least $500,000 in damages. Yari this month lost a seven-year multimillion-dollar court battle with members of the cast and crew of his Oscar-winning film Crash.

Marilyn Monroe’s Bridges Self-Writing

Sexuality & Love in the Arts

Oh damn I wish that I were
dead — absolutely nonexistent –
gone away from here — from
everywhere but how would I do it
There is always bridges — the Brooklyn
bridge – no not the Brooklyn Bridge
because But I love that bridge (everything is beautiful from there and the air is so clean) walking it seems
peaceful there even with all those
cars going crazy underneath.  So
it would have to be some other bridge
an ugly one and with no view — except
I particularly like in particular all bridges — there’s some-
thing about them and besides these I’ve
never seen an ugly bridge

Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead from apparent overdose

Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday in his New York City apartment, law enforcement officials confirmed to NBC News. He was 46.

A concerned friend found Hoffman in the actor's bathroom, fully clothed. When police arrived about 11:30 a.m., they found Hoffman still had a syringe in his arm. Glassine bags believed to contain heroin were also found, police said.

Most recently, Hoffman was at the Sundance Film Festival promoting his film "God's Pocket," opposite "Mad Men" actors Christina Hendricks and John Slattery. The actor was also set to star in a new Showtime comedy, "Happyish," which was introduced to TV critics last month in Los Angeles. One of Hoffman's last taped interviews can be seen here. 

Born in Fairport, New York, the versatile actor was accomplished in both theater and on the big screen. He earned three Tony nominations, three supporting actor Academy Award nominations (including 2012's "The Master"), and won a best actor Oscar for 2005's "Capote." He was most recently seen as Plutarch Heavensbee in the "Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire."

Michelle Obama Chooses Jane Fonda as Role Model

breitbart

By John Nolte 

www.1001experiencias.com

In the January 27 issue of People Magazine, First Lady Michelle Obama cites Jane Fonda as a role model. "[And] there's Jane Fonda, a beautiful, engaged, politically savvy, sharp woman," Michelle Obama responded after being asked by People who she would someday want to look and live like.

PEOPLE: And there are other role models you look at and think, "When I'm 70 or 80, I want to look and live like her'?

MRS. OBAMA: Oh, yes. Every event I go to, every rope line, women are looking better with every passing year. I run into women all the time who will just happen to mention, "Oh, I'm going to be 60," and it's like, "You're kidding me!" I just went to see Cicely Tyson on Broadway. She is in her 80s and did a two-hour play with stamina and passion. I told her, "I want to be you when I grow up!" [And] there's Jane Fonda, a beautiful, engaged, politically savvy, sharp woman.

For the last fifty years, Fonda has been one of the most divisive political and cultural figures in America. Fonda earned the nickname "Hanoi Jane" after photos were released of the actress laughing it up with our enemies in North Vietnam while sitting on an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American flyers.

While the war was still raging, Fonda attacked the American government and our troops in propaganda radio broadcasts for the North Vietnamese.

Recently, as the Iraq War waged, Fonda resumed her anti-war activities.

Among America's veterans, "Hanoi Jane" remains one of the most reviled figures in American history. Still, America's First Lady considers Fonda a role model and sees her as "politically savvy."

When you are reminded that the First Lady and the President spent 20 years in Reverend Wright's church, Michelle Obama's choice of Fonda as a role model isn't likely to surprise anyone.

Desmienten que Marc Anthony tenga previsto viajar a Cuba

Café Fuerte

Por Redacción CaféFuerte

El cantante Marc Anthony no tiene previsto viajar a Cuba, dijo la representante del artista, desmintiendo informaciones que circularon este miércoles en la prensa oficial cubana.

“Marc Anthony no ha confirmado en lo absoluto ningún viaje de conciertos o personal a Cuba. Estas informaciones son totalmente erróneas”, dijo a Café Fuerte la representante, Blanca Lasalle.  “Sus oficinas tampoco conocen ni han establecido negocios con el supuesto promotor de los conciertos.”

El sitio digital de la emisora Radio Reloj publicó en la noche del martes una información según la cual el artista planea un viaje a Cuba entre enero y febrero para ofrecer dos conciertos y negociar con la familia del fallecido Polo Montañez la compra de los derechos de sus canciones.

La nota de la emisora indicaba además que el cantante estaba en contacto con las autoridades cubanas para preparar el viaje y que sería acompañado por el Gran Combo de Puerto Rico y Olga Tañón. Además citaba a un falso (y probablemente inexistente) representante del artista, llamado Felipe Sostener.

El origen de la información de Reloj -reproducida por otros medios digitales- fue un email apócrifoc que circuló ampliamente en la isla, y que atribuía el viaje a una supuesta revista noticiosa llamada La voz de la salsa. Sin embargo, el enlace a la revista llevaba al sitio digital de un restaurante mexicano.
