Starting a new celeb charity movement...

-
Yeah, I committed awards show blasphemy last night by not watching the whole screening of the Golden Globes. I'd seen the results earlier in the day on the Internet so I knew who the winners were. Besides, I got home from movies and stayed up to see the tail-end of Warren Beatty's acceptance speech and then the last 7 or "most important awards" at the end of the evening.

The full list of nominees and winners is HERE for anyone who is interested... I enjoyed the TV drama category this year, with a lot of worthy, highly enjoyable nominees:

TV DRAMA
"24" (Fox)
"Big Love" (HBO)
WINNER: "Grey's Anatomy" (ABC)
"Heroes" (NBC)
"Lost" (ABC)

Anyway, I digress, watching the show I have decided to follow in the footsteps of a worthy celebrity-related cause, the fundraising for panties Cover-A-Cooch.com. My overall goal is to get nominated actors, musicians, directors etc. etc. at awards shows to STOP CLAPPING FOR THEMSELVES. Don't they realise they look like chimps when their name is read, and the camera cuts to them grinning and slapping their palms together... all in support of themselves? So stupid and so arrogant... although I do think it's more of the former.

Anyway, another Golden Globes thought: Hmmm, after so much Ali G and Borat you actually forget that Sacha Baron Cohen is actually quite a hottie.



Oh, speaking of Borat, Movies in 30 Seconds with Bunnies debuted their take on the film yesterday. Absolutely hilarious!

Hey vhailorz, I've heard only good things about Heroes.

I've got hold of the first 11 episodes of the series and am very keen to make some time to sit down and watch them.

Maybe I'll start tonight, if I'm not working on the next Girlz 'N' Games;)

BTW, thanks for the review!

Is the rebooted Lara Croft gay? Evidence for and against...

As some of you know, I’ve been fangirling hard over the new Tomb Raider , the first entry in the video game series since 2008, and ostensibly a reboot for the entire franchise . Taking the form of an origin story, Tomb Raider 2013 depicts the events that transformed a beautiful, if bookish, archaeology graduate into a pistol-packing adventurer with a devil-may-care attitude. We meet Lara Croft as a pretty, fairly ordinary 21 year old, brooding over her work notes, listening to her mp3 player and very much confined to the shadow of her male mentors. By the end of the game, however, she’s taken charge – she’s had to! – and, battered, bruised and bloody, she’s both a survivor and hero, right down to rescuing the princess and carrying her away in her arms. Yeah, this is probably the best point to mention that there will be some Tomb Raider 2013 spoilers in this post, so read ahead with caution. Anyway, I loved the game. Technically it’s near faultless, it looks beautiful, the ov...

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Queer Icon (Part 4)

Part 4: The mystery of Lara Croft’s sexuality “Now what’s a man gotta do to get that kind of attention from ya?” – Larson Conway (Tomb Raider, 1996) Despite being an icon for many queer pop culture consumers, Lara Croft’s own sexual orientation remains ambiguous. Outside of the Top Cow comics and live-action films – where Lara is blatantly heterosexual, with a fondness for slightly scruffy bad boys (who keep betraying and hurting her) – the character comes across as primarily asexual. Kurtis Trent is the only male figure who even comes close to being a love interest in the game series. Lara's apparent sexual disinterest is despite the adventurer appearing very sexually attractive herself; a figure of desire with bee-stung lips, voluptuous breasts, toned stomach and impossibly long, athlete’s legs. Yet Lara is never dominated by sexual yearnings or romantic affections. She is very much in control of herself at all times. It’s worth noting, however, that over time th...

Ladies I Love: Part 2 - Rhona Mitra

Following on from the first post in this series , you may realise that I have a very definite type. Anyway, today we profile model-turned-actress Rhona Mitra . This 36 year old Briton is of English, Irish and Indian descent. You'll have seen her pop up on the big and small screen multiple over the past decade and a half, although Mitra's claim to fame is that she was the second ever model (some say first if you rule out "unofficial"  Nathalie Cook ) to play iconic video game character Lara Croft . From 1997-1998, Mitra could be found in PR material, as well as at trade shows, events and conventions as a flesh-and-blood embodiment of Tomb Raider 's kick-ass archeologist lead. There have been many official Lara Croft models over the years , but as far as I'm concerned Mitra remains the best. In my mind, of all of them, she most closely resembles the video game character in terms of facial features. Plus she comes from money and had a rebellious boarding...
