Was Marilyns mole real?

Yes, Marilyn’s mole was real. However, it was more like a skin colored bump which she filled in with an eyeliner pencil to make it appear darker.

“Poor, unhappy Erik! Shall we pity him? Shall we curse him? He asked only to be ‘some one,’ like everybody else. But he was too ugly! And he had to hide his genius or use it to play tricks with, when, with an ordinary face, he would have been one of the most distinguished of mankind! He had a heart that could have held the entire empire of the world; and, in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar. Ah, yes, we must need pity the Opera ghost…”

I'm quite rigorous about what gets exposed... no bottom half! I don't mind exposing my tits because they're so small - people really aren't that interested.

So, she only wants to give the paying public what they are not interested in??

The coming out of Grand Theft Auto 5 in the spring has already garnered a story in the Times. I am starting to feel a little excited by the prospect, feeling a little taste for the old ultra-violence.

It is going to have three playable characters, and a lot of people, particularly women, are upset that not one of them will be a woman. I must admit that a sexy woman might jazz up the formula, especially if she draws some cat calls and butt-slaps from other characters.

I am a little surprised that the game has won over more than a few odd women. It really is a boys' game, and I hope it stays that way. It sounds like they are going to maintain the same level of machismo, but to be honest, I really need to see this amped up to make the new game very meaningful for me. I need more heat to maintain my interest level, not being much of a gamer in the first place.

"I’m shy. People get confused. They think as an actor you can get up and be confident on the screen. “Why aren’t you like this in normal life? Why can’t you act in your social life?” Because I can’t!"

Ledger died on 22 January 2008 from an accidental "toxic combination of prescription drugs". A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his penultimate performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. His death occurred during editing of the film and cast a shadow over the subsequent promotion of the $180 million production.[10] Ledger received numerous accolades for his critically acclaimed performance in the film, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards, for which he became the first actor to win an award posthumously,[11] the 2008 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor[12] and the 2009 BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.[4] At the time of his death, he had completed about half of his final film[13] performing the role of Tony in Terry Gilliam's film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Love is a publicity stunt, and making love - after the first curious raptures - is only another petulant way to pass the time waiting for the studio to call.

Miley Cyrus has reportedly been offered a deal to record a softcore porn film.

Martin Ellison of Sex.com is said to have sent a $1 million contract to the singer to tape a naked "make-out session" with porn star Jessie Andrews, reports TMZ.

The offer arrives after Cyrus appeared with Andrews in the video for her latest track 'Decisions' with producer Borgore.

Martin wrote: "After seeing a preview for the video 'Decisions', we were floored at how sexy both her, and porn star Jessie Andrews look together!"

Anything that gets Miley naked, I say. But it is not like she is desperate for a million dollars. She makes a million dollars by just getting out of bed in the morning to brush her teeth, know what I mean?

Actor and outspoken liberal John Cusack is developing a movie about conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, Cusack's production company said Friday.

The working title is "Rush," Cusack's New Crime Productions confirmed, offering no other details.

Hollywood director Betty Thomas, who's set to work on the film, said the production company is putting finishing touches on a script that will star the actor. Production is set for next year, Thomas said.

That should be interesting. I hope Cusack tries to play it fair, because Limbaugh is extreme enough without having to purposely execute a hatchet job on the man. Limbaugh parodies himself. You merely have to hold up the mirror to nature.

Poland's supreme court has issued a landmark judgment against a heavy metal musician who tore up a Bible at a gig in 2007. Although the judges conceded that Adam Darski, AKA Nergal, did not intend to offend his audience, they ruled that he could still have "offended religious feelings", violating Polish law. If found guilty, the singer could face up to two years in prison.

Darski had released eight albums with his band, Behemoth, by the time of their notorious performance in Gdynia on 13 September 2007. Appearing in full costume and makeup, Darski tore up a Bible and described the Catholic church as "the most murderous cult on the planet".

Give me free speech and our First Amendement any day! I really don't care for the idea of criminalizing and imprisoning somebody for the expression of an idea. You do not have to buy a ticket and go to the show.
