Mormon Men Without a Shirt



It could fall under any of these titles -  "Seeing Mormons in a new light", "Mormons as you've never seen them before" or "Going under the skin of a Mormon". All perfectly innocent titles; it could be a Nat Geo program for all you know.

But it's not.

According to this story by TMZ, Chad Hardy, who is a Mormon, might be targeted by the LDS church for being the brains behind the rather controversial calendar called Men on a Mission. Well, calendar is not out there as such; it's just seems to have hurt the sensibilities of other Mormon followers.

And it's not like he's being ambushed in a dark alley. More like the threat of excommunication.


Madonna is going to revive Britney's career

Oh, sorry I believe the actual heading is Britney joins Madonna on tour. Everyone's talking about how both ladies will prance and dance and strip on stage. Rather liberal use of the word lady, then?

According to The Sun,

“Britney and Madonna are unwrapped like mummies, to appear together almost naked apart from tiny leather bondage pants and knee-high boots.

“They then dance closely together, pressing their hands and bodies together...."

Yea, it's bound to make news alright.

So one's trying to recapture lost fame and the other's having a bit of mid-life crisis? No, really. If being a musician is about the music, what's the deal with stripping and flesh flashing?

Notice how Madonna's been going nuts on the exercise regime as she grows older? She'll always be a great singer as long her song material is good (haha, Material Girl ... ok, bad joke) and none's give a toot about the wrinkles.

Madonna's an icon and she's done some legendary stuff. But I seriously wonder what's up with the recent techno-babble and anti-aging worries.

Screen Actors' Guild Rejects Offer

That is not good news. According to OMG, SAG is not too pleased with the producer's offer and wants revisions to it. But the producers are standing firm, saying "We made it clear our final is our final and that we're not interested in further counterproposals...."

Oh boy! Can you imagine the repercussions if there is an Actor's strike sometime in the future? There are quite a lotta shows that were cut short, got canceled or simply didn't do so well after the writer's strike. Another strike could be the deadly stroke for whoever is left.

Although I must say I found this sentence rather funny.

"The last thing we need is a long, hot summer of labor strife that puts even more pressure on a badly struggling economy and deprives audiences of the entertainment they clearly desire in such difficult times," the AMPTP [Alliance for Motion Picture and Television Producers] said.

Yea, if there are difficult times, last thing I would want is an escapist cinematic experience of what is possible and what I gotta live through when I leave the movie theater.


Watch out for that Fin
