Many people love my dad, yet dad is the happiest when he’s reading good books and pottering around his garden at home. Angels wings and a Scottish crown are two things I associate with my dad. As a man, he’s a messanger (angel) who “marches to the beat of a different drum.” His vocabulary is [...]

Her name comes just before America. For those of you wondering what a non-flimic person like Amber Rose was doing treading the red carpet at The Critics Choice Movie Awards last night and you’re upset by that news, than you need to catch up with the way the world has spun last year.

I almost didn’t recognize Justin Bieber from The Critics Choice Movie Awards show last night in L.A.

Nicole Kidman says “she’s a botox free” Aussie girl. Fair enough. This image via Los Angeles Times Awards Show season hard newsprint coverage. Have you seen Nic’s new movie Rabbit Hole yet? It’s pretty cool how she’s seamlessly transitioned to producing and Hollywood’s loving it! Personally, I just totally dig the way Nicole gives a [...]

One thing I love about Maori-Kiwi‘s is that we invent new English words all of the time. Beyonce made English dictionary history one year when the word “bootylicious” was officially put into the English dictionary – as a tribute to her hit single with Destiny’s Child.

They’re either always asleep, or all about you,” says Rondee. Serge is too cute. Look at those ears. Most of Serge’s myspace friends are from France. Go figure! [...]

“If it looks strikingly different than the classic Captain America get-up — bold colors, flimsy material, a mask with weird little wings — that’s definitely by design. ‘You can’t really take him seriously in his flag pajamas,’ director Joe Johnston told EW in last year’s exclusive first look cover story on the film. So instead, [...]
