Hilary DUFF you need some good advice!

Hilary Duff Denies Virginity in Print

Hi, check your text messages now. Your sex life is your business! You do not need this for media coverage, gross!

In the January issue of Maxim, she insists that she was actually misquoted in the ELLE story.

Only her “lady parts doctor” knows for sure, and GOD, oh and the boy(s) that got to play in the duff, --- if any!

Again, what happens behind closed doors, with consenting adults, is your biz and should stay there. Once, you let it ride in print please don't go crying on the worlds' shoulders, we have real problems!

You have talent, don’t fall for this or you too might end up at Promises.

MELISSA we VIEW you as WONDERFUL

Etheridge Chides Hasselbeck in 'View' Chat: gosh, her too!!!!!

Ms. Hasselbeck and Ms. Shepherd were back-peddling, on their expensive heels, when out & proud (wife and mother) MELISSA let the truth fly high to be viewed on THE VIEW.

Religions-spaligion. This is an issue of BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, EQUAITY. Those same old-time religions talked against women voting, African-Americans getting the same rights and all interracial marriages. Come on ….let's do away with ignorance and embrace equality.

Fight against inequality ……with great songs ……starting with Ms. E’s new Christmas albums.

NO DOUBT about VIOLA DAVIS

VIOLA DAVIS knocks it out the box in the new film DOUBT, acting and holding her own with Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film opens Dec. 12. Ms. Davis won the Breakthrough Performance by an Actress Award from The National Board of Review, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the Critics Choice Awards.
Get your flack on it; you need a great dress to walk the Red Carpet to the Oscars.

The film takes us back to 1964 at St. Nicholas in the Bronx. A vibrant, charismatic priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is trying to upend the schools' strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep), the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear and discipline.

John Patrick Shanley brings his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play to the screen as a gripping story about the quest for truth, the forces of change, and the crippling consequences of absolute blind justice in a time defined by cloudy moral conviction.

Ok, I love AFI but you missed SLUM DOG MILLIONAIRE – I don’t know how and I don’t know how?

In television, you missed PUSHING DAISIES and STARTER WIFE.

I admit, I do not know if AFI just covers the U.S. – just in case it does not, re-think and review GAVIN & STACY (BBC), The Kink' In My Hair (Canada) and Little Mosque On The Prairie (Canada).

Tidy!

PRODUCERS GUILD - THANK YOU -

THANK YOU TO THE PRODUCERS GUILD AND THE NYC CHAPTER OF SAG

It is so frustrating for a President (and I can barely refer to ALAN ROSENBERG as a “President,” without rolling my eyes and letting out a big-big laugh). It is, as if, this Actor has no direct contact with a television, or radio, or newspaper, or Internet or blackberry or landline telephone.

Is Alan unable to comprehend the trouble the U.S. is in?
This Actor should “give himself” a major time out – just walk away and let the big boys and girls make it right and good for all of us. The rich, the middle class and the working stiffs. He will lose the battle. He will lose the war. American and this industry cannot afford to lose anything else.

He is not honest with his members and that is unacceptable and I fear, he is not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Alan, YadaCity is asking from the heart, if you really care about Actors and this industry, give yourself a time out. Go on vacation. Visit friends and family. Read a newspaper, pet a dog or water a plant. Just, please do us all a favor and leave the ring because you can’t fight and we all will lose!
