In a semi-serious question, couldn’t Madge have taken a few cues from the genuinely sexy older women by now? Deneuve, Sarandon, Fonda, Mirren. There’s no shortage of role models on how to grow old (dis)gracefully.

No wuzz, Darlene.

Any other Melbourne low-life you’d like to discuss? There’s too much Hollywood glitz here IMHO.

I say, “Go Megan!” Aussie girls on the primrose path to starlethood. “Charlotte the Starlet Lay Dying, …” etc “Megan Gale Acts Up a Storm!” “Gale Storms The Red Carpet.” Nice girl.

Speaking of “Death Valley” Helen…ya got me thinkin’ about Sonic Youth…a NY band w/ an edge of punk. Yep, youth raging against Fascism.

Punk…gets me thinkin’ of OUTRAGE in America.

Perhaps Madonna should do a version of this?:

(California Uber Alles (Dead Kennedys)

Seems the US air-force’s motto is a translation of “Uber alles” these days…training to kill for flag & freedom & father of all fathers…during our youths’ more exuberant days & nights…innocently playing computer games…& paint ball and laser mayhem…creating “emotional distance” & lack of empathy…creating behavioural patterns…like Dad’s boozing & smooching…the children in ENDER’S GAME go ICEMAN on the constructed enemy.

Children mutated into Spartans…far from HOME. Or so we thought. Closer than you think.

Speaking of Manson, reminds me I haven’t watched Polanski’s version of Oliver Twist yet. Poor Sharon. Still gives me the willys.

Hmmm… must put on Willy & the Poor Boys. ‘Don’t Look Now’ but a Manson-like FAMILY are on the road to some influential American’s house to cause a tragic disturbance and divert the masses eyes away from WAR. Isn’t that how it works in Sunset Boulevard land?…where metal mockers put on masks & make miserably moronic music to inspire mobs to transform their hands into a Devil sign?

brrr…

seems to me we could use a Ray of Light.

Mebbe Madonna ain’t so bad after all eh Darlene?…:) Not so short this time, but shorter than most eh Helen…;)

Again on the subject of Charles Manson, there was a short article in the AGE today saying they suspected there were some additional bodies at the Death Valley ranch and they’re organising a bit of a dig.

Manson’s Women….mmmmm, we will wait and see what that is like. The title is a tad dodgy.

It’s a great picture, David.

Megan Gale? Pah. They should just digitalise the classic era Lynda Carter so we can continue to lust after her. Darlene, that picture is a classic.

Movie is called Manson’s Women. Am not kidding.
And a month or so asgo Megan Gale announced on Today Show she was playing Wonderwoman. George Miller is directing/producing.

You have to wonder with people like Amy whether it’s a case of be careful of what you wish for. However, it must be horrendous to have that constant loss of privacy (and unnatural).

Thanks, Ambigulous. Sam Newman deserves all he gets. He’s a man devoid of wit, wisdom or empathy. He’s a dinosaur, and not even one of those cute and cuddly ones.

Megan Gale as Wonderwoman; is that true???? Wow, Wonderwoman was a lot of fun. Packer did have some involvement with Scientology. Thick and rich like certain types of cream. I will wait for that Brad/Ange nuptials. I never got the feeling Aneg was the marrying type.

Agreed, Mercurius. Disappointed with Madge’s new look and sound. I thought Hung Up was a top effort….oh well. She is the queen of re-invention so we will see how she goes next time.

Yikes, not a Charles Manson movie. Was Linsday going to play one of his devoted followers? I think I could do without seeing such a film really. She’s another woman who doesn’t seem to be coping with celebrity that well.

Lindsay Lohan has withdrawn from/been axed from a forthcoming movie about Charles Manson - you all remember him, surely; the long-haired, bearded mass murderer who killed off the hippie era - Apparently nobody wants to work with her.

Ambigulous: Sam who?

By: Mercurius

Mercurius — Sat, 10 May 2008 00:25:44 +0000

Madge…Stale Candy?

She can do better than this. She has before. A lazy effort. Actually, her last album wasn’t ‘alf bad - big music publisher and all.

And after JT’s wardrobe malfunction incident, you think he would’ve learnt his lesson about playing with girls from the grades ahead of his own.

Thingamajig Packer (Kerry’s son) is apparently dumping Scientology. Didn’t realise he was stupod enough to be in it.Brangelina are getting married next week, in the south of France somewhere, where they’ve bought a chateau. (At least, I think its a chateau). Posh might be pregnant. Britney is recovering and sitting on the verandah with family somewhere in Louisiana. Sipping mint juleps? And there was some other piece of really really scandalous gossip I heard on one of the breakfast TV shows, but, for trhe love of me, I’ve completely forgotten it.
btw, Megan Gale has signed up to play Wonderwoman. Now that’s a fact.

I know he’s not a REAL celebrity, but Sam Newman was skewered beautifully in the Opposition Organ recently. Good use of vernacular. Written in bloke language. Strong critique. I dips me bloody lid.

That’s the shortest comment you’ve ever written, Nask!
I want to complain about the way the media goes after Amy Winehouse. She seemed to be pretty fragile after the release of Back in Black, which was so promising, but now they’ve just kind of gone into a campaign of Candid Shots or something, thinness shots, stomach sticking out shots, bad hair / hangover shots, like they want to break her spirit. Her damage may be self=inflicted to a large degree but you have to ask yourself how the stalking tabloids have contributed to that.

Polly, I don’t know why your comment took so long to appear. Apologies for that.

I hate the cover of Maddy’s new CD. It’s too try-hard by half. She’s a sexy woman, but that cover is….as I said, blech.

Harsh, nasking, but possibly fair. Actually, I think both Madonna and Kylie have some good songs (great songs even), but they are not particulary interesting as people. When Madonna started going on about Kabbalah in “I’m going to tell you a secret” I turned off.

Here’s a link to Lynda’s Wikipedia entry:

If I had to choose between Madonna & Kylie I’d choose the space.

“usually before your nipples are level with your belly button”

Ain’t gonna happen to Madge. She’ll just keep getting ‘em lifted until you start wondering why she has pimples at her age.
