First Details from Disney’s “Frozen” Released

While there might not be a lot of new Christmas-related Disney stories to report, there is one wintry seasonal piece of news: the first concept image and story details from next year’s “Frozen.”  “Frozen” is Disney’s adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen,” a story that’s been in the works for years. Production on “Frozen” has been off and on for almost ten years, with the film looking like it’s getting made, and then being shelved.  It’s back on for real this time, and it even has a release date: November 27, 2013.  Just in time for most of … Continue reading

PETA Sets its Sights on Seniors

I have always thought PETA’s ads were aimed mostly at a young audience. Think of all the people who have posed nude for PETA’s anti-fur ad – Pamela Anderson, Taraji P. Henson, Chad Ochocinco, Khloe Kardashian, Tony Gonzalez, Eva Mendes, Mario, Brooke Hogan, Steve-O – and well, there are not a lot of geriatric bodies in the bunch. But, PETA’s new campaign is aimed at an older crowd and lead by a true super-legend – Cloris Leachman. The new campaign, titled “Cloris Leachman Reveals that Seniors and Elephants Have More in Common Than Wrinkles,” consists of a video telling older … Continue reading

Groups Campaign Against Canadian Seal Hunt

This year, the Canadian government has set the quota for its yearly seal hunt higher than ever. The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) set the quota at 468,200 harp, Grey, and hood seals. That is an increase of almost 150,000 from last year. Why would people want to kill the seals? There are a lot of products that can be made from seals such as fur coats, bags, and clothing, but still others want them for the meat, oil, blubber and even seal oil for the making of some omega-3 pills. Reports say there are about 6,000 seal … Continue reading

Charlie Sheen’s Not the Only One to Lose His Mind – Part 2

So if you read my last blog, you know Charlie Sheen’s gone of the deep end. It can’t get any worse than his nonsensical rants, right? Wrong. It’s been a week where even Christina Aguilera’s being arrested for public intoxication hardly made the news, so who else seems to have lost it? Dior’s star designer John Galliano. The other night when I was watching the Oscar after party, the press was interviewing Natalie Portman. One reporter asked why, as the new face of Dior, she wasn’t wearing a Dior dress. Then, the reporter asked what Natalie thought about some anti-Semitic … Continue reading

Country Music, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the CMAs

The Country Music Association (CMA) awards ceremony was held last night and if you watched the show, you might have been surprised to have seen Gwyneth Paltrow perform. After all, it is more common to see Paltrow on the big screen than at a country music awards show. But, she wowed both the audience and country music stars as she sang “Country Strong” in her first live singing performance. The song she sang is the theme to her upcoming film, Country Strong. In the film, Paltrow plays a country singer who is just out of rehab and trying to make … Continue reading

PETA “Hunts” Kristy Lee Cook

Remember Kristy Lee Cook from season seven of “American Idol?” The country singing Seattle native made to the Top 24, but she was repeatedly berated by the judges and often found herself in the bottom three before she was finally eliminated in seventh place. Like many other “Idols” who were eliminated before the finale, Cook has been able to stretch her reality fame into other opportunities. She is the star of a reality show called “Goin Country” on the Versus channel. The show follows her around the country as she tries to land a record deal. But, because Versus is … Continue reading
