Bonnie and Clyde’ director Arthur Penn dies at 88

Bonnie and Clyde’ director Arthur Penn dies at 88

Director Arthur Penn has died, a day after his 88th birthday. The legendary director’s daughter Mollu Penn confirmed that the legendary director, who was best known for making ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ and ‘Little Big Man’, died at his Manhattan home of congestive heart failure, reports the BBC.


Penn made his name directing Tony-award winning Broadway shows such as ‘The Miracle Worker’ and ‘All the Way Home’. He began to carve out a career in film in the 1960s with his work, which was inspired by the decade's political and social upheaval.


But it was the 1967 hit movie ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, based on true story of famed outlaws, which he will mostly be remembered for. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best director and Estelle Parsons won the prize for best supporting actress. A memorial service has been planned for the filmmaker before the end of the year.

Did Shakira Lose Too Much Weight for Her New Video?

 Did Shakira Lose Too Much Weight for Her New Video?

 Above on the left, Shakira shaking on stage in June 2010 and on the right, Shakira in her newest video, ‘Loca’, where she looks considerably thinner. Like that’s-not-even-her-shape thinner: her torso looks positively elongated, her face looks thinner and her hips are less curvy.

Must take a look!

Shakira DID confess before that in order to lose weight for her videos, she diets intensively and literally cries of cravings:

“I needed a whole month to get back into shape. I danced, worked out and had to stick to a strict diet – only fish, spinach and a specially-prepared dessert with tofu. For the first time in my life I was dreaming of chocolate and cake and always woke up with tears in my eyes.”

So, question: Did Shakira Lose Too Much Weight for Her New Video?

 Crystal Renn’s Editorial in French Vogue Is… INSERT ADJECTIVE

 Crystal Renn is featured in the 90th anniversary issue of French Vogue and the editorial definitely has a strong ‘love it or hate it’ vibe. Most likely the latter.

Is ‘disgusting’ or ‘revolting’ the word you are looking for? Or is this rather ‘playful’ and ‘edgy’?

‘Just As Beautiful’ – A New Plus-Size Magazine

 ‘Just As Beautiful’ – A New Plus-Size Magazine

‘Just as Beautiful’ started as a digital publication destined to women over size 14, but beginning with September 2010, it joins the printed club. The magazine, who intends to ‘help end the current harsh visual obsession’ refuses to use any model under size 14 and it also bans dieting articles – but let’s find out more from it’s creators:

The magazine’s editor Sue Thomason explains:

We want our readers to know that they don’t need to change their appearance to ‘fit in’ or be truly happy. Most people only think they need to change because they’re constantly exposed to the message that they do – and shown images of impossibly skinny models that they’re told they “should” look like.

‘Appearance needs to be rethought and placed firmly back where it belongs – in the entertainment section of your life, along with fashion and make-up,’ she said. If you feel anxious about your looks instead of being relaxed, it’s a sure sign that you need to change your mind and not your body.’

Publisher Ronnie Ajoku says:

‘There will be no diet sections but we do have exercise tips. No model under size 14 will get into the magazine. We have normal interviews with women who happen to be size 14-16.

‘What we want to do is supply a magazine for women who don’t want to be made to feel bad about the way they look. We might have interviews from plus size celebrities like Ruth Jones but they are straightforward interviews and don’t concentrate on their size. The point of the magazine is not to make such a big deal about women’s figures like other magazines do. There are plenty of magazines out there which promote losing weight but our readers don’t want that. They want a magazine which is relevant to them while making them feel good about how they look.’

Looking forward to hearing what you guys think about this one!

What was Hilary Duff’s favorite part of the honeymoon?

Eating. I just ate a lot. You know we just had a good time together, it was me and him, obviously. Just before he had left it was nice to take those few days and eat and hang out on the beach and be in a beautiful home. That’s it. I think it was pretty much just like everybody else’s honeymoon.

Linda Gray Brings the Quote of the Day

 Linda Gray Brings the Quote of the Day

70 year-old Dallas star Linda Gray wants to share a tiny bit of wisdom with you:

“I honestly don’t have a secret. I think that’s all nonsense. I exercise, I eat right, I do all those boring things they tell you to do, and I have two grandsons and I try to keep up with them. I think it’s energy, I think it’s life. It’s trying to enjoy every minute of every day

My sister died at 43 from breast cancer. From that day I said, you know what, I have got to be grateful every single day. So I don’t think about age, I don’t think about the number.”

… says Linda, who looks great for her age.

Kelly Osbourne: ‘I’m more inclined to go for a bag of carrots now than a bag of chips’

 Kelly Osbourne

On her weight loss

“I gained a level of confidence. It’s like this [defeated] feeling disappeared that I had carried around with me for so long, and finally I was like, forget it. It’s not what life’s about. There is no secret, It’s the old-fashioned way of making a commitment to yourself and waking up every day and doing it.”

On her current habits:

“I don’t eat junk food. I don’t have it in my house anymore. I’m more inclined to go for a bag of carrots now than a bag of chips. I never thought I would turn into that girl, but I have!”

… says Kelly (who claims she is a size US 0-2 now).

“I’ve always eaten whatever I wanted. I don’t eat a lot, but I have a little bit of everything. Some people just think about food all the time because they don’t eat. They get so anxious.”
“I try to give my daughter a little of whatever I eat. If I eat eggs, she eats eggs. The other day we were eating pizza and we taught her how to say it. That’s one word she knows really well now.”
