Daniel Craig on a Stick

Yum. Just what I’ve always wanted.

In honor of National Ice Cream Week in the UK, Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies has created a limited edition popsicle in the shape of Daniel Craig’s nude torso.
Tasty! So, how comfortable would you be eating this in public?

Want Some George Clooney Flavored Tofu?

This is strange but you have to give PETA credit for coming up with new and, um, interesting ideas. This is the latest envisioned by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk: George Clooney-flavored tofu or Clofu.
In a letter sent to the actor, Newkirk said that PETA wants to use Clooney’s sweat to create tofu that will “spare animals from being killed for the table.” This way tofu would finally be more attractive. She said: “I thought, ‘What would make tofu more attractive to people?’ … I can see people having parties to try CloFu.”
What was Clooney’s response? “As a mammal, I’m offended.”

Picture This: Tiffany’s Without Audrey Hepburn


Can you imagine Breakfast at Tiffany’s without Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly? It would be a completely different movie, but that is how Truman Capote wanted it. The author of the 1958 novella wanted Marilyn Monroe, not Hepburn, to play the iconic New York party girl.

According to this AP article, “Capote complained that the elegant Hepburn was miscast as Holly, a Texas runaway who reinvents herself as a Manhattan It Girl. The Holly of Capote’s imagination was a blonde like Monroe, who had a challenging childhood growing up as Norma Jeane Baker.”

It is crazy to think of how the film would have been received had Monroe played that part and not Hepburn. I don’t think it would be as cherished as it is today and more importantly, Blair Waldorf’s entire existence would be changed.

This is just another example of how you can’t judge a movie by the book it is based on.
