I
might be able to get in an update today's afternoon? Bit busy
this week, it seems. But here's some non-fashion stuff. It
has to do with the big concert that just happened in Toronto.
For Canada, this is about as fashionably world-class we'll
get this year.
So
why not jump on the band wagon, and talk about the "Rock-away
SARS concert", aka, "SARSstock", aka, "PLEASE
come to Canada and eat our beef!! concert".
"I'll
tell you this is the biggest party in Toronto history,"
said Mick Jagger, "Toronto's back and it's booming!"
The
Stones did surprise duets with AC/DC's Angus Young and Justin
Timberlake. Timberlake was pelted with water bottles by the
typical rock loving Canadian crowd, during his set earlier
(in backstage interviews he accepted it gracefully realizing
as the only pop act. He was doomed to start with the rock-bias
crowd). AC/DC got a hero's welcome for their set.
Possibly
as many as 450,000 concert goers. A huge success for organizers
and a big thanks to all the performers (Justin, you can keep
the water bottles too!). 11 hours, with 90 minutes of it being
the the Stones.
The
Stones were given keys to the city. Ron Wood's key had his
name spelt wrong - Ron Woods. Oops..
Eat
Alberta beef. Take a trip to Canada.

Evening Standard the next NY Times? A paper which lies (NY
Post)
A few months ago the NY Times was exposed for its false journalism.
NY Posts asks: Is Evening Standard next?
(It should be pointed out. NY Post tends
to be more bias to the Centre-Right, while the NY Times and Evening
Standard are bias to the Far-Left. So you can't expect these papers
to ever compliment the other's brand of journalism. I mentioned
this article since I use the 3 mentioned newspapers allot for
my article picks. I hope if Evening Standard is doing bad journalism,
that it fixes the problem quickly. Since its Thisislondon fashion
section is good, and I'd hate to see its reputation get damaged.)

Off
Topic (movie review)
[Well an ex-model is in it, and US
Vogue is more like Entertainment Weekly these days. So I think I
can get away with going off-topic ;-) ]
Just
saw T3. I was really hestitant to see it. I was worried it was going
to be a bore. I loved the first two (especially the T2). Just I
couldn't see how they could get anymore out of the franchise? Everything
about it seemed to spell disaster:
No
James Cameron, one of the few directors who can make a really good
sequel. A girl Terminator, who I thought was going to be used for
eye candy to cover up a bad plot. Arnold's last few movies have
stunk. I'm not much of a fan of Claire Dane's and her crummy acting
abilities. Worried its fight scenes would just be copies of previous
Terminators or worst; it'd be like EVERY other action movie nowadays,
with the whole Crouching Tiger/Hidden Matrix stuff. Which by now
I'm sick of seeing.
A
new actor for John Connors I knew beforehand was a smart choice.
Last movie I saw Edward Furlong in was American History X. He did
a good job in it (good movie too), but it looked like all his partying
as a teen had stunted his growth. He doesn't look like a lead for
a action movie anymore. So a new actor was a smart choice.
I
happily surprised with T3!
It was really good. Good action. No Crouching/Hidden junk. Just
good old fashion heavy metal being smashed around.. The story went
in a new direction and it works! Arnold is in great shape for a
50 year old man. The T-X was interesting with her abilities (and
still hot eye candy). The story was simple but it has to be. It
works. For you eggheads who enjoy the Terminator series' dealing
with the theories of time traveling. This one discusses not on the
familiar theory of "We can change our future with our present
actions", but it also brings up the other theory of, "The
future is set in stone. You could travel back in time. Kill Stalin
and Hitler. But still history would turn out the same".
Good
movie. Just one warning: It doesn't have a Hollywood ending (thank
goodness!). If you haven't seen it. See it!

Charlize,
a fashion photographer
Once upon a time Milano fashion week catwalker Charlize Theron
stars and executive produces in John Duigan's "Head in
the Clouds", a 20 million US$ drama set in the '30s Spanish
civil war. Charlize plays Gilda Besse, a fashion photographer
who's looking for her anti-nazi lover (Stuart Townsend) in the
battlefields of Spain. Penelope Cruz is her assistant. The filming
is over but they still have to find a distributor. Three pictures
pop-up at the studio's
official site, Theron also appears as Britt Ekland, one
of Sellers' wives, in mini tv series "Life and Death of
Peter Sellers", with Heidi Klum (see separate story).
-
Heidi's
teeth
Supermodel Heidi Klum is trying her acting teeth again these
days in both tv screen and silver screen. First, she appears
in mini tv series "Life and Death of Peter Sellers",
written by Lee Hall and Roger Lewis and directed by Stephen
Hopkins. Heidi plays Ursula Andress, Bond girl and sex bomb
back in the early '60s, one of Pink Panther's lovers. Sophie
Dahl was originally casted for the role, due to her physical
resemplance to Andress, but she withdrew because of her mother's
relationship with Sellers. "Life and Death of Peter Sellers"
will be on tv screens in 2004.
This
will be Heidi's 3rd acting role, after small appearences in
Mark Christoffer's "54" and Paddy Breathnach's "Blow
Dry". Heidi also stars in Russell James' (debut) adventure
"Nomad: The Two Worlds" with Estella Warren (see separate
story). Both projects are currently under production.
-
Busy
times for Estella
Four projects ahead for Canadian ex super model Estella Warren.
She appears in Wayne Kramer's romance "The Cooler"
(to be released Nov 21st) and stars in James Merendino's horror
film "Trespassing" (completed, currently looking for
distribution), in Russell James' adventure "Nomad: The
Two Worlds" (currently under production) and in John Ketcham's
thriller "I Accuse" (pre-production). However, none
of above projects is a major studio production. See pictures
and a trailer for "the Cooler" here.
-
Eva
as the painter's wife
Supermodel Eva Herzigova is casted as Olga Koklova, Pablo Picasso's
first wife, for Mick Davis' "Modigliani", starring
Andy Garcia as Amendeo Modigliani. The 12 million US$ drama
on the life of the boheme artist from Livorno is currently under
production.
This
is Eva's fifth acting role. See the original Olga Koklova here
and decide for yourself on the resemblance: here.

Any
photographer who likes to use Missy Rayder, Malgosia Bela

(Broadway can have her! I hope it works

be on the cover of US Vogue. How am I kidding! Even if she flops,
she'll probably end up on the cover)

As American-Estonian project "Welcome to America"
has yet to deal with several setbacks, Carmen Kass will appear (star?)
in a Baltic project, produced by Ilmar Taska, starring Peter Franzen
of Finland. The project appears to be a thriller, a coproduction
with a couple of Baltic countries involved (some sort of a telefilm).
A Russian studio is also involved. More as soon as we will get our
