And the Queen couldnt look prouder. It must be nice for her to just be someones Great granny sometimes. And what a little Cutie,,,akay not as cute as my latest great niece byt still cute.

Here is the you tube of Matthew Morrison in the gay boy band Boys r us

Hilarious

WOW

Adam Lambert Dancing through life!!! from Wicked

Who does she think she is

Rachel Glucina! WHO?

For those of you who dont know she is a try hard gossip columnist on New Zealands leading newspaper.

This week she published an article about the top ten stars who take themselves too seriously! Really?

Firstly I doubt the word star can be used on 50% of the people named.

And secondly I think probably number 1 on the list should have been Rachel Glucina herself.
I have had the misfortune to meet the aforementioned wannabe socialite at a meeting a few years back where she informed me that mention in her column could make or break an event.
Get a life Miss Glucina!!!!!

too many rules

It seems the Queen could visit during the World cup. She will be in Australia for the heads of commonwealth meeting and could just pop across the ditch to visit us. However the labour party must give their approval as it is close to the election and could be misconstrued. Come on like the Queens going to get out on the hustings.
Anyway dont know why we are bothering wasting all that money on an election. We all know the outcome already...surely the money used could be used more effectively elsewhere seeing as we are supposedly broke.

Schuesters Gay past

Did you know that Mathew Morrison long before appearing on Glee was part of a Gay boy band called Boys r Us.
Well in a movie anyway. The movie was called Marci X.
It has played here on Sky. It stars Lisa Kudrow and Damon Wayans and is pretty average.

Okay the accompanying picture look kinda gay but one is from a Broadway fundraiser and the other from a musical called Million Miles.

This sounds like fun

A new show on broadway,well its been going for a month is 'Wonderland' and yes you guessed it, its Alice in Wonderland. But it has a modern twist. About a modern day Alice who goes on an adventure far beneath the streets of New York with a cast of charachters that help her discover what is really important. With a score by the composer who wrote Jekyll and Hyde it sounds like fun.

However it has not got good reviews. In the words of one critic it is as spectacular as it is spectacularly bad. Oh well! Nice try.

This is hilarious

I just had to repost this,,,very funny

It had been a term of endearment which had cemented links with her Greek heritage and first adorned her cars more than five years ago following a loving gift from her husband.
But the nickname Kiki, given to lawyer Kristen Perry before she could even walk, has now put her in hot water with New South Wales' Roads and Traffic Authority because her number plate also translates into a term for female genitals in the Filipino language of Tagalog.
"I rang my father last night and said: 'Do you know you have been calling me vagina all my life?'," she said.
"He just said 'What?' He was appalled."
Mrs Perry has been left flabbergasted after being sent a "please explain", the RTA threatening to confiscate the number plate if she did not "show cause" within a fortnight.
An RTA spokeswoman said one person had complained that the plates were insulting to the Filipino language so Mrs Perry and another motorist, who also had "Kiki" featured, were issued notices.
"I have always been called Kiki by my family, many of my friends call me that," Mrs Perry said.
"I think it is just so funny."
Mrs Perry said Kiki was a shortening of her name in the Greek language and the number plates were given to her by her husband, Steven, five years ago - first on a Mini before she upgraded to a Porsche.
And she did not take long to reply to the RTA.
"I have never been advised by anyone who speaks the Tagalog language that my name or number plate offends them," she wrote.
"... it has been my name since birth and your letter calling my name 'offensive' is disturbing."
Mrs Perry said although some parts of the complaint were "hilarious" it was also "really sad" it had reached a stage where her plates could be taken.
The RTA spokeswoman said that "by law, the content of personalised plates must not carry offensive language, religious or sexual content".

MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
Tagalog is the first language to about one third of the population of The Philippines, including in the capital of Manila, and a second language to most of the rest of the country. Its standardised form, called Filipino, is the national language.

as suspected

Lindsay Lohen has been released from jail after 5 hours and posting a bond of $75000. The american legal system is a JOKE!!!!

Breaking nEWS

Sp Lindsay Lohen has been sentenced to 120 days. A How long will she actually serve? B. Who really cares?

worst dressed

And by a long way. Greys Anatomy diva Katherine Heigl seen out and about on April 18th in what can on;y described as a throwback from the 70's. And this is designed by Ralph Lauren? Chief Sitting Bull wants his loin cloth back!

Some People

i am horrified at peoples response at the news that the Middletons had lunch with the Queen. People saying comments like ' Royal snobbery'. Please!!
Lets put it in perspective. If you Had a child marrying would you have lunch prior to the wedding with yuor future daughter in law or son in laws grand parents. i think not. Most of us would probably only meet them at the wedding. Lets get some perspective and get our heads out of our arses people.

Sad

Michael Sarrazin has died. Not many people will know who Im talking about but he was the star of one of my favourite movies as a teen 'They shoot horses dont they" with Jane Fonda. The Canadian born actor had quite a good career if not however becoming a major star. He was 70 and had battled with cancer.

Aww so romantic

oh dear me

I guess there are some places name dropping just doesnt work.
The Seacroft Restaurant  in North Wales on a Sunday night couldnt accomodate HRH Prince William.
The groom-to-be (14 days to go) and his Royal Air Force squadron were turned away from the Trearddur Bay eatery Sunday night after the gang was informed that the restaurant just didn't have the space to seat the party of 20—despite the notable (and noble) name drop.
Guess they wont be getting their by royal appointment sign anytime soon.

An Interesting article

I have just read this article which gives a little insight into the royal Family.

An hour with Mrs Margaret Rhodes is worth a week trawling through history books or biographies of the Royal family – and a lot more fun. What other young girl had digs at Windsor Castle during the war and was teased by King George VI about her work for M16? Who is better qualified to record the last days of her aunt, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother? When she takes her place in Westminster Abbey on April 29, this small, birdlike and very astute old lady will have witnessed the marriages of three heirs to the throne – in 1947 as a bridesmaid to Princess Elizabeth and Lt Philip Mountbatten. All because, as she so crisply puts it, “my mother’s sister [Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon] married somebody important [the future King].”

Mrs Rhodes, cousin and friend of the Queen, and lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother at the time of her death, is a natural anecdotalist and a sharp observer. Her discretion has not always been absolute and her helpfulness can sometimes get her into trouble. That is why it is exciting to see the table in the big bay window of her house in Windsor Great Park strewn with proofs of her memoirs. For years, she has been sitting almost unnoticed in the grandstand of 20th century history, mostly keeping her counsel but occasionally popping up to correct inaccuracies or to provide courteous biographers with guidance over a glass of sherry. Now she has written her own story, The Final Curtsey.

“It was going to be all about my foreign travels and my father [Lord Elphinstone], who was an explorer and big game hunter and lived a fascinating life but, of course, it turned out differently…” That is fortunate for posterity. Her life has been so intertwined with that of the Royal family that her book promises new insights and, if it is anything like her conversation, great verve. She has submitted passages for royal approval, especially knowing that the Queen had not previously wanted her mother’s death – at the age of 101 in 2002 – to be reported in any great detail.

“It was deliciously quiet and peaceful, the whole thing,” she says. “She never left Royal Lodge for the final month of her life and I used to go in every day and have lunch with her on a card table. It was a very gradual drift away. I’ve said in the book exactly what happened. She truly had the death she deserved. All of us would think it best if the Bon Dieu decided to take us when we were asleep in our beds.”

In the past, Mrs Rhodes has loyally debunked the idea that the Queen Mother had “hollow legs” and was partial to a gin and Dubonnet after breakfast. She has also maintained that she was not vindictive towards Mrs Simpson. “I never heard her say anything remotely unpleasant about the Duchess of Windsor.”

Mrs Rhodes is 85, sharp as a tack. In jeans and a smudged blue jumper, she looks outdoorish and busy, as if she’s been interrupted while pruning. Her gardener’s hands are purply-blue and cold as the Scottish keep of her childhood.
Being only 10 months apart in age, she and Princess Elizabeth were “obvious potential playmates” when the Yorks were at Balmoral. They rode hill ponies and picnicked together. “We had blissfully happy times up in Scotland. Birkhall [the small house on the estate, beloved of the Queen Mother and now the Prince of Wales] was a very special place in the lives of all the family.” While she was doing a secretarial course at Egham during the war, Margaret, aged 17, was invited to live at Windsor Castle. Then when she landed a secretarial job at MI6, Buckingham Palace became her “wonderfully convenient” second home.
“Windsor was a good landmark for enemy bombers,” she says. “I remember one night going to an underground shelter – probably part of the dungeons – which meant walking for miles down subterranean corridors and Queen Elizabeth refusing to be hurried, walking very slowly and rather crossly, not wanting to go to the air raid shelter.
“At MI6, it was absolutely drilled into one how secret one had to be but needless to say the Royal family knew I worked there. The King used to tease me, trying to get me to tell him things that were going on, knowing that I couldn’t say.” She says she cried “quite a lot” when she saw the film The King’s Speech. “He was such a wonderfully attractive person. In the family, we didn’t notice his stammer very much. But I can still see the muscles standing out in his neck when he got stuck, trying to get the words out from a depth somewhere.
“A lot of the press stuff has rather downplayed his role, as if the Queen Mother was the stronger person but she often told me she always asked the King’s advice about any proposition.”
Petite and pretty, Margaret Elphinstone, daughter of the 16th Lord Elphinstone and Lady Mary Bowes-Lyon, was one of Princess Elizabeth’s eight bridesmaids. “My family had a little shooting lodge up in Invernesshire and the Queen and Princess Elizabeth came to stay. That is when she asked me. They were without the King, just the female side of the family making plans for the wedding and talking about the dresses.
“To me, as a very country girl, actually to walk through the portals of Norman Hartnell [the royal couturier] was in itself earth-shakingly exciting because it was not a place I would normally ever go.” Driving to the Abbey, waving to the crowds in her long white gloves, made her feel “tremendously grand”. Paired with the Hon Pamela Mountbatten, she walked at the back of the procession into the Abbey, after the titled bridesmaids, because she was just “plain old Miss”.
Prince Philip of Greece made a dazzling impact on all the girls. “He had absolutely god-like good looks. A Viking god. Very blonde, with piercing eyes and clean features. He was dreamlike, really. From the day Princess Elizabeth met him at the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth when she was 13, I don’t think she ever, ever, ever looked at, or thought about, another man. At that age, one didn’t seriously think about being married but one always knew that she had a yen for him.
“He was inclined to be a little bit new-broomish – probably an inevitable reaction to over-traditional things – but all that’s melded together now and he’s become a traditionalist himself. He is much mellower in his older age but there is still a spark of rebellion lying in wait, ready to pounce, which is rather refreshing.
“I think he’s the most amazing person. He’s going to be 90 this year. I can’t believe it. His figure is wonderful still and he works so hard. It was a very difficult position for a man like him, very bright mentally, to accept that you’re always going to walk a couple of paces behind your wife. There was no role model – the Prince Consort was a totally different kettle of fish – so he had to carve out a career for himself. He has done miraculously well.”
By contrast, Margaret had no time at all for Philip’s choice of best man, David Milford Haven. After the bridesmaids had seen the couple off on their honeymoon, pelting them with rose petals, they were taken to dinner by the Prince’s fellow naval officer. “We went somewhere like Quaglino’s and he was much keener on some dolly bird at another table than he was on us. He was palpably frightfully bored by all of us and had a tendency to go for rather prettier girls somewhere else. He was not my idea of a gentleman…
“There were a lot of funny little German and Danish princelings who were our men for the evening. Once of them was rather unfortunately called Prince Phlem – I don’t think with a 'gm’ It wasn’t the most successful banquet of the year.”
Margaret Elphinstone married Denys Rhodes, grandson of the 5th Lord Plunket, when she was 25 in 1950 and they travelled widely for two years before settling down in austerity Britain. “There was still rationing. We ate heart and lots of liver, which I hate. There were terrible things called faggots, now a rather rude term. A kind of meatball. We thought it best not to ask what was in them.”
The couple had two sons and two daughters. Denys Rhodes died in 1981, six months after they moved from Devon to Windsor. Knowing that he needed to be closer to London for cancer treatment, the Queen offered the couple the Garden House in Windsor Great Park, where Mrs Rhodes has lived ever since. The Queen calls in for a drink after church.
“I was up at Balmoral and we were riding on the hill ponies,” she recalls. “I can see the Queen now, exactly as she was. She turned round in the saddle and said: 'How would you like to live in suburbia?’ That was the first I heard of this wonderful house. It was the answer to a prayer and one of her many, many kindnesses.”
A former lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, Mrs Rhodes looks forward to seeing Prince William and Catherine Middleton exchange vows at the end of a long courtship. “I think the wedding will be wonderful,” she says. “There certainly can’t be an excuse like not knowing one another properly. I think it’s got every hope.
“There isn’t a marriage in the world that doesn’t have hiccoughs and difficulties. You weather them. I don’t think couples try hard enough.
“I tell my children that life is like making a tapestry. You have one gold thread that you have to sew through the tapestry, which is your marriage. Sometimes it gets frayed and sometimes it gets worn. But you have to work hard to keep your gold thread going. People must not give up too easily.”

Now interesting casting but more interesting where he will be filming it. Sydney! Really? Nd not only in Sydney but in 3D. Oh my god!

Jubilee Year

So the Queen is going to have a flotilla down the Thames to celebrate her 60 years on the throne. Fantastic. Apparently all of the commonwealth high commissioners have bee sent letters asking for repesentation from easch country. I hope New Zealand will send KZ7 our americas cup boat or maybe a waka. I hear theres a very expensive plastic one that wil need to go somewhere after the rugby world cup!

REcognise her?/

All grown up, its the girl from Little Miss Sunshine in her latest movie where she plays Sarah Jessica Parker's daughter. She is now 15 and has little resemblance to the gap toothed little girl with spectacles.Abigail Breslin is her name and the movie is New Years Eve...Sounds like another hit for SJP...:)

Concerning!!!

Dod this slip under the radar or did I just miss it. Here is a report from 4 days ago!

Police said Wednesday they had arrested a female security guard at London's Olympic Stadium after a small amount of the bomb-making material Semtex was found during a search of her car.
London police said the 40-year-old dog handler was arrested at a car park close to the east London site and was being held at a nearby police station on suspicion of possession of an explosive substance.
But the incident was not being treated as terrorist related, they said.
"Searches were carried out at residential addresses in Kent and London, no further substances were found," a police statement said.
"The Counter Terrorism Command is aware but the incident is not being treated as terrorism related," the statement added.
Class A drugs were also found during a search of the woman's car, police confirmed.

Apparently not the first case of this kind at the Olympic stadium.

Prepare Yourselves

NBC will have a new show in 2012. Its Called the fashion show. Its where designers design clothing competing agianst each other. It will be hoted by Elle McPherson. SOUND FAMILIAR. Doesnt anyone in Hollywood have an original idea these days. It is being produced by Ben Silverman who is one of the executive Producers of the Ofice, another copy!!!

Stop!!!

Please! Why are the press giving Charlie Sheen all this exposure. Its truly rediculous! As long as the press keep keep reporting this crap the more money hes going to make. Hes either playing a really clever game or hes totally drug f#$%ed.

Is this becoming a claytons royal wedding

Members of the British Royal Family and Foreign heads of State from Other countries will be ferried to the Abbey in rented Minibuses.  I understand  security issues and cost cutting issues but i shall miss the pomp and circumstance that the british royalty do so well. What are the people who will undoubtedly line the streets of London see? Part of an occasion like this is spotting whos who. Thank goodness I shall be watching it on Tv and not on a London Street. What happened to the lovely parade of carriages(saving petrol) that graced the streets at Williams parents wedding in 1980. Dissapointing.! i do hope its not going to be a bendy bus!!

How disgusting

The Westboro Baptist Church, renowned for their picketing of funerals have announced they will picket Elizabeth Taylors Funeral service becuase of her support of Gay and Aids research. These people are the most disgusting horrible people I have ever heard of.  And they call themselves christians. I am appalled that they have been able to do what they have been doing for so long. Taking their chidren out to these pickets. No matter who has died or what they believe in families should be able to mourn them in peace.

Westboro Baptist Church YOU DISGUST ME!!!!!

As an addendum, these people are the people who say gay people triggered the Christchurch Earthquake. Didnt know God was Gay!

So proud to be a New Zealander

Only in New Zealand. And only at NZ Post.

The royal wedding stamp packs went on sale this week, although not without a hitch - of the wrong kind.
 The specially printed Royal Wedding Presentation Pack features an error in it's text: Prince William's birthday has been mis-printed.
The birthday of a future-monarch is not something that is easily kept from public knowledge, so it is well known that the Wills was brought into this world on 21st June 1982. However, in the package, retailing through NZ Post for $19.90, the Prince's birthday is stated as "21 May 1982".
It is believed 4,000 of the special packs featuring the error have been produced.

These could one day be collectors items.

Farewell to an Icon

Elizabeth Taylor has Died. Probably one of the last great screen icons of the golden era of Hollywood died in hospital from congestive heart failure.
In her lifetime she won three academy awards, married several times, twice to the same man, strongly supported Aids sufferers and accumulated fabulous jewels.
Truly a great star has gone. Reunited with her beloved Richard.

Best dressed this week

Now thats what i call a red carpet outfit. Someone at the Priscilla Queen of the Desert premiere on Broadway. Wouldnt see anything like this at the oscars.

Guess Who

Playing a transsexual woman on a Tv series called Harrys law is Queer Eye culture guy Jai Rodrigiuz. Makes a pretty good looking girl.

politeness???

Has the world changed so much that people have forgotten to be polite. Im not perfect but I always try to be polite. It seems this cannot be said of other people. A thank you goes a long way! But i believe what goes around comes around.

broadway gossip

Apparently according to critics Daniel Radcliffe is aceing it in how to succeed in Business withou really trying.

There are reports of patti Lapone being in negotiations for a revival of Hello Dolly.

Might be time for a visit to New york me thinks.

A royal Death

Princess Antoinette of Monaco, Countess of Polignac, Baroness of Massy has died at the age of 90.  She was the older sister of the late Prince Ranier, aunt to the reigning Prince of Monaco.  The Palace reported Friday that the Princess passed away overnight at Princess Grace Hospital.  No cause of death was released, but one can expect at the age of 90 that it could be a great many things
She  was deeply involved in animal rights and was the president of Monaco's Society for the Protection of Animals.  She had been married three times throughout her life and had three children.  Her first marriage was to that of the father of her children (although they married after the three had been born) Alexandre Noghès.   That marriage ended in divorce after 3 years, but the relationship had lasted around 10 years total.  She was then married for 60 years to Dr. Jean-Charles Rey and it this union that led to much controversy in the Grimaldi family.  The duo had put together a plan to depose Prince Rainier and have herself declared Regent because she had a son who could inherit the throne.  In order to further the plan, they started rumors that the Prince’s girlfriend at the time was infertile.  Eventually, possibly because of the rumors, the Prince broke of that relationship and famously married American actress Grace Kelly.  One year after their marriage they had Princess Caroline, and a year later Prince Albert was born and the succession argument was thusly put to bed.  However, the damage had been done, Princess Grace had her removed from the Palace and the family was estranged for many years.  Princess Antoinette was lastly married to John Gilpin in 1983.  The union was cut short by his untimely death six weeks after their marriage.
HSH Prince Albert II, the Princess’ nephew, ordered all the flags in the principality to be at half-staff.  She is survived by two of her three children Elisabeth-Anne de Massy and Christian Louis de Massy.

Guess who?

Hilarious pic. But all for a good cause. Daniel Craig as he appears in a video for International Womans Day.

Happy Lá Fhéile Pádraig

To all you irishmen out there I wish you all a happy St Paddys Day.

Heres a few not so well known facts

1. The original color associated with St Patrick is actually Blue but over the years has changed to green.

2. This is funny. The shortest St Patricks Day parade in the world is in Dripsy Cork wehere it lasts only 100 metres, the distance bwetween two pubs.

3. One of the largest Celebrations is in Argentina where street parties attract up to 50,000 people. The catholic church or the irsh community have nothing to do with the celebrations.

can any body say dejavu!!!

Is it just me but does the situation in Libya sound remarkably like that experienced in Iraq a few years back?

However I must say Saif Gaddafi is slightly better looking than Saddams two psychotic sons. If a movie is ever made about this I have a friend who is a dead ringer!!!

So damn proud

Havent blogged for a couple of weeks. Havent really felt like sharing my trivia in the wake of the Christchurch Earthquake.

So I am now back.

Two weeks ago my production of the Boyfriend won five awards at the Napta Awards. i am so proud of this show. We all had so much fun and it was truly a team effort. Thanks to all involved for making this such a special time for me. The cast , the crew, Anna the best co choreographer ever, Warwick the maestro himself and Robina who we coudnt have done without. Then those unseen heroes, Anna and her crew(outstanding as ever) Lyn for turning my costume designs into reality,  Scott and Jon who I never want to do a show without who I trust implicitly with the sound and all things technical, Leanne and Anne for a fab first effort at Prop. I thank you all.

And you know what we had fun which in amateur theatre is what it is all about.

, And a great night was had by all!!!!!!

Oh Dear Me

Should we be surprised???

Officials from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said they suspect an outbreak of legionellosis, or Pontiac fever, following the Feb. 3 fundraiser at Hugh Hefner's Holmby Hills, Calif., home. The event was held in conjunction with the annual DOMAINfest Global conference at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.
Those who have gotten sick are experiencing "symptoms mostly consisting of fever, chills, general discomfort (malaise) and some cough," according to the public health department.
Officials added that they do not believe the outbreak has spread beyond those involved with the event.
Legionellosis is a milder form of Legionnaires' disease; it's caused by bacteria that grow in warm water, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The public health department was first notified Friday of a "suspected respiratory infection outbreak" among those involved with the confab.
"I'd like to know what took away a week of my life," attendee David Castello, who got sick after the event, told the Times . "They just need to find out where and when it started. Now it's like a big mystery; everyone wants to know."
Reps for Playboy and the Fairmont did not return the Times' requests for comment Monday.

Eight-year-old Tom is the Prince's godson and son of Tiggy Pettifer, née Legge-Bourke who was personal assistant to the Prince of Wales during the Nineties and also nanny to William.

Worst Grammy outfit

I am sorry there are so many to choose from.  Nicky Minaj looked pretty rediculous but the owrst for me was darling Miley. She was dressed like a whore! Harsh I know but take a look. Even if it is Cavalli. My pick for the best which I cannot find a pic was the outfit that Guiliana Rancic wore during the red carpet show. Truly gorgeous!!!

Had to post this

Thanks to a good friend this gave me a few laughs...maybe this is why there are no valentine wishes coming my way.

IF MY BODY WAS A CAR... If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires.

All this week, some of the most talented and awesome musicians, actors and singers have been coming and going to the convention center in downtown Los Angeles, right next door to the Staples Center where the Grammys will be on Sunday evening.

Streisand is scheduled to have a half hour at the end of the show. The event has been totally sold out and is one of the hottest tickets in town with the list of attendees reading like a "Who's Who" of the music industry. At a sit down dinner, there's a silent auction, a live auction and special items that the artists performing have been signing all week, including instruments, microphones, recordings and amazing memorabilia from the collective careers of all those in the building tonight.

Dr Zhivago opening night affected.

The opening of Dr Zhivago in Sydney on Friday night didnt quite happen how it was supposed to.

Apparently an injured Anthony Warlow was unable to go on and the understudy was not rehearsaed enough so instead the opening night audience got a 30 minute highlights show. However what could have been an ugly scene was not as the audience were placated by the shows producer and ANthony Warlow himself.

A commentator from Sydney sugests this is a good way to preview shows. You come along see the preview and then decide whether you wantr to see the full thing or get your money back. Could catch on on broaqdway. However said commentator said show is not that good...in fact some parts are terible. ANd that just from thirty minutes of highlights.

Guess I wont be rushing across to Sydney any time soon.

Related?

Apparently Ellen and Kate Middleton are related. They are 15th cousins, so she says! Apparently Ellen has offered to organise the bachelorette party. Im in! That would be one fun party.

another legend is ill

According to reports Elizabeth Taylor has had another health scare.

The legendary actress, 78, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles earlier this week for symptoms caused by congestive heart failure, described as "an ongoing condition," according to a statement from her reps.

"This issue is being addressed," the statement says. "She is currently being kept in the hospital for monitoring."

Taylor underwent heart surgery in October 2009 and has a long history of medical problems.

"Her family and close friends are appreciative of the warm support and interest of her loyal fans," the statement says, "but have asked that people respect her privacy and allow her medical team the time and space to focus on restoring her back to health."

Tihs is after releasing a statement that rumours were incorrect that she was unwell.

Logans Run

Another remake on the cards is Logans Run the sci fi adventure where people must die when they turn thirty. And starring will be Ryan Gosling. Cool. I still remember the original and it was fun. And Ryan Gosling is one of my fav actors.

For musical lovers ...read and weep

Oh my god!!!

Tom Cruise  is bringing the ’80s back, with or without a Top Gun sequel. The actor is closing a deal to star as womanizing rocker Stacee Jaxx in a big-screen adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical Rock of Ages, his rep confirms. In the stage show, the character sings Bon Jovi“Wanted Dead or Alive” and is a part of other numbers including “I Wanna Know what Love is.” He also receives a lap danc, and takes more than one punch. News of Cruise being courted for the film was first reported in October.

Can he sing???
