Recommended Reading

from Bruce

Paul Krugman: Attacking Social Security (nytimes)
Critics of the program claim that its future is in peril. But their math doesn't add up, and underneath their hostility is ignorance of the realities of life for many Americans.


Geoff Boucher: Seth Rogen is a Marvel true believer (latimes.com)
"I've kind of given up on DC at this point," says the star.


Matt Mazur: "Giving Us Something We Can Feel: An Interview with Lonette McKee" (popmatters.com)
Lonette McKee is one of film's greatest underused assets, a character actress who has steadily been working since her 1976 debut in Sparkle. "Underutilized" is how film critic Elvis Mitchell describes her in Film Comment, where he wrote that "Hollywood is guilty of a shameful neglect of an engagingly friendly, but lusty presence. Not girlish and insubstantial, she's dynamic and indestructible."


DAVE KEHR: DOES 3-D represent the future of the movies? (nytimes.com)
After a few months of ambiguous box-office results for stereoscopic movies, that's a question Hollywood executives would love answered in the affirmative, because of the higher ticket prices they can charge. We won't really know the answer for a year or so, when audiences respond - or fail to respond - to the big-budget 3-D films now entering the production pipeline, all chasing the phenomenal figures generated by "Avatar."


Roger Ebert: Review of "ALL THE REAL GIRLS" (R; 4 stars; An Overlooked DVD)
We like to be in love because it allows us to feel idealistic about ourselves. The other person ennobles, inspires, redeems. Our lover deserves the most wonderful person alive, and that person is ourselves. Paul (Paul Schneider), the hero of "All the Real Girls," has spent his young manhood having sex with any girl who would have sex with him and some who were still making up their minds, but when he meets Noel he doesn't want to rush things. He wants to wait, because this time is special.


Rosanna Greenstreet: "Q&A: Anne Robinson" (guardian.co.uk)
'When did I last cry? When I had a Brazilian last Monday.'


Irene Lacher: "The Sunday Conversation: Anne Heche" ( Los Angeles Times)
The actress explores her role on HBO's 'Hung,' her reentry into the entertainment world and her family life.


Matt Mazur: Mommie Dearest: An Interview with Animal Kingdom's Jacki Weaver (popmatters.com)
American audiences might not yet be intimately familiar with the work of Australian acting icon Jacki Weaver despite her presence in such national treasures as Peter Weir's 'Picnic at Hanging Rock,' but after the Sundance-sanctioned success of neophyte director Michτd's blistering family crime drama 'Animal Kingdom,' it is no trouble whatsoever to imagine her name being mentioned in conjunction with any year-end Best Supporting Actress prize worth it's salt.


Body and Soul: Pam Grier Will Still Kick Your Ass 'Graciously' (popmatters.com)
Pam Grier is an icon many times over, and is known as equally for her spirited, strong protagonists in early 1970s Blaxploitation films such as 'Coffy' (1973) and 'Foxy Brown' (1974) as she is for the career-defining film for which she makes our list, Quentin Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown' (1997).


Killian Fox: "Cerys Matthews: 'A 10-year-old could run the country better than politicians'" (guardian.co.uk)
Former Catatonia singer Cerys Matthews tells Killian Fox about her contempt for politicians and not being as successful as Barbra Streisand.

As of 2009, (Doris) Day was the top-ranking female box office star of all time and ranked sixth among the top ten box office performers (male and female).          Source
She hasn't made a movie since 1968's With Six You Get Eggroll.          Source






Alan J was first, and correct, with:

  I'm guessing Shirley Temple.




~ Tony in Philly responded:
   Doris Day




Jim from CA, retired to ID, replied:
   Doris Day is the top-ranking female box office star of all time .



Sally said:
   I do believe that Doris Day is the number one FEMALE box office star of all time. Back in THE day, her movies were quite anticipated - she and Rock Hudson OWNED the silver screen. Her movies were sweet, and very funny - left you uplifted as you exited the theater. I have seen all of her pictures, some multiple times! Those were the days...

  Best of friends, on stage and off!
  PS: MAM, I have done that (sent mail to myself) and then can't figure it out for a while after reading! Hahaha!




BadtotheboneBob answered:
   Hip hip hooray! It's Doris Day! (I think...)
YouTube - Doris Day - Que Sera Sera




Kevin K in DC replied:
   Well, it must have a twist to it, so it can't be Julia Roberts. Angelina Jolie? Nah, not yet. I'm goin' with Cameron Diaz, because "Shrek"(s) plus "Angles"(s), "Mary", and "Mask" = Big Bucks.
  Cameron Diaz!




Marian the newly retired teacher wrote:
   Doris Day



Charlie answered:
   Well, que sera sera, it's Doris Day!




MAM   responded:
Doris Day . . . not one of my favorites, although I liked her in 'The Man Who Knew Too Much', where she sang "Que. Sera, Sera" to her son.
   




And, Joe S   answered:
   Apparently the answer is Doris Day. I hope I'm wrong, not that there's anything wrong with Doris Day. Well there is but let's not get into that. I would not have guessed this, I was thinking more on the lines of Susan Sarandon or Liz Taylor. Well who knows, whatever floats your boat I guess.

Astana - Kaleidoscopic Capital of Kazakhstan

Hi

A possible link for you ... thanks for taking a look!


Astana - Kaleidoscopic Capital of Kazakhstan

Products get rebranded, companies get rebranded - but the capital of an entire country? Back in 1997 the Kazakh capital shifted to Astana (quickly renamed from Aqmola to make it easier for foreigners to pronounce or so legend has it). So followed a frenzy of building in the new capital of this oil and gas rich country which has produced some remarkable structures. Beautiful or bizarre - judge for yourself.


Again, thanks for looking and i hope you enjoy them!

Best regards

RJ


Thanks, RJ!

Underwater Birthday

James Cameron

James Cameron is going from outer space to under water.

The writer and director of "Avatar" says he'll celebrate his 56th birthday Monday deep beneath Russia's Lake Baikal. Cameron will be in a submersible about 5,200 feet (1,600 meters) from the surface of the world's oldest and deepest freshwater lake - "unless it's bad weather, in which case I'll be getting drunk with the Russian crew in the port."

A longtime ocean enthusiast, Cameron has other underwater projects in the works. He says he is building a submarine in Australia that will take him 36,000 feet underwater. He is also developing an upgraded 3-D underwater camera and has plans for an underwater feature film that he said he might make before taking on an "Avatar" sequel.

Aging Faster Than Population

Broadcast Audience

For years, executives at ABC, Fox and NBC essentially stopped caring about television viewers once they had reached 50 years old.

The median age for viewers at those networks and CBS is now 51. The broadcasters' audience has aged at twice the rate of the general population during the past two decades, according to a new report. It's a quiet trend with a real impact on the way they do business.

The risk in having a rapidly aging audience is the networks becoming less relevant to advertisers, the backbone of their business. Increasingly, that's a way of thinking that itself is getting old.

Much of the aging isn't unique to TV: The median age for the American population as a whole increased from 33 in 1990 to 38 last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

A young audience has always been the holy grail for networks, but that's changing, said Alan Wurtzel, research chief at NBC. Not only are more older viewers available, advertisers are starting to recognize that they spend money and are receptive to their messages.

Unveiling New Paintings In Denmark

Bob Dylan

American music legend Bob Dylan, who has turned to painting in his later years, will unveil a new set of works in Copenhagen next month, the National Gallery of Denmark announced Monday.

Some 40 acrylic paintings and eight drawings from Dylan's "Brazil Series" created especially for Denmark's largest museum, also known as the Statens Museum for Kunst, will go on display from September 4 to January 30.

"I chose Brazil as a subject because I have been there many times and I like the atmosphere," Dylan said in a statement published by the museum.

His new paintings "show the scenes from daily life in the cities, the slums and the countryside in Brazil where Bob Dylan has been several times," the museum's curator and director, Kaspar Monrad told AFP.

Hospital News

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas has a tumor in his throat and will undergo radiation and chemotherapy.

The Academy Award-winning actor's treatment is scheduled to last eight weeks.

The 65-year-old Douglas says he expects to make a full recovery. He told People magazine in a statement Monday he's "very optimistic." His publicist's assistant, Eli Barach, confirmed his condition to The Associated Press.

The actor is outside the United States, publicist Allen Burry said Monday, declining to give his location or where he would be treated.

Baby News

Salazar-Vega

Spanish Hollywood actress and model Paz Vega has given birth to her third child, a son, a Madrid hospital announced Monday.

The boy was born Friday by caesarean section and weighed 2.750 kilograms (6.05 pounds), the Ruber International Hospital said.

This is the third child for Vega, 34, and her Venezuelan husband, Orson Salazar. The couple have a three-year-old son, Orson, and a daughter, Ava, born on July 17, 2009.

She appeared with Adam Sandler in "Spanglish" in 2004, with Scarlett Johansson in "The Spirit" in 2008 and opposite Colin Farrell in "Triage" last year.

Malibu Maserati Oopsie

Mel 'Sugar Tits' Gibson

The California Highway Patrol says Mel 'Sugar Tits' Gibson crashed his sportscar into a Malibu hillside but was not injured.

The agency says Gibson crashed his 2008 Maserati into a hillside on southbound Malibu Canyon Road around 8:35 p.m. Sunday. Gibson's spokesman, Alan Nierob, says the actor is doing fine.

Police say Gibson was alone in the car and that alcohol was not suspected in the crash. A news release states that a friend picked up the 54-year-old actor-director from the scene.

No further details were released and it was unclear how much damage Gibson's car sustained.

Nadja Benaissa, 28, a member of German girl band No Angels, is charged with grievous bodily harm for allegedly infecting a partner with the virus in 2004 and also faces charges of attempted bodily harm for having unprotected sex with two other men.

The man who claims Benaissa infected him says they had a three-month relationship at the beginning of 2004, and that he got tested after Benaissa's aunt asked him in 2007 whether he was aware that the singer was HIV-positive.

In her statement, Benaissa told the court she became addicted to crack cocaine at 14 and that during her pregnancy at 16, she found out that she was HIV positive, the news agency ddp reported.

After winning a TV talent show, "Popstars," in 2000, she joined No Angels with four other young women and hid her illness from everyone for fear it would damage her career.

Letter Arrives 34 Years Late

John Lennon

A British folk singer who expressed fears that success and wealth could ruin his songwriting revealed Monday how John Lennon sent him a letter of reassurance -- but it did not reach him for 34 years.

Steve Tilston was just 21 in 1971 when the megastar read an interview he had done with a magazine called ZigZag.

Lennon penned a hand-written letter to the aspiring singer just months after the Beatles split up in 1970, telling him not to worry about becoming wealthy because it would not change what he felt inside.

He sent the letter to Tilston and the reporter who interviewed him at the magazine's offices, but for some reason it never reached the musician.

The first time he saw it was in 2005 when an American collector contacted him to verify whether the letter -- estimated to be worth 7,000 pounds (11,000 dollars, 8,500 euros) -- was genuine.

Breaks Box Office Record

Met Opera

The Metropolitan Opera has set a record for its box office opening day, selling more than $2.6 million worth of single tickets for the new season.

The total, reflecting the sale of more than 24,000 tickets on Sunday, compares to $2.5 million in sales on last year's opening day. Sales included in-person purchases, plus those made by telephone and online.

The company's 33-week season starts Sept. 27 with a new production of Richard Wagner's "Das Rheingold" directed by Robert Lepage.

Sales were strong for the whole season despite the Met's first across-the-board ticket price increase in five years. Individual tickets went up an average of 11 percent, with seats for regular single performances ranging from $25 to $420, up from a range of $20 to $375 last season.

ABC Renews

"Wipeout"

ABC is ordering a fourth season of its summer reality hit "Wipeout." The next round of the series will feature two new obstacle courses, including a fresh "motivator" for the infamously difficult Big Balls, the classic sweeper with a new twist and obstacles such as the Lawn Mower and the Sky Scraper Slide.

"I'm excited that a fourth season will give our team the opportunity to create bigger and funnier ways to wipe out contestants and thrill families across America," creator and executive producer Matt Kunitz said.

Pulling double duty on two nights at 8 p.m., "Wipeout" has the distinction of being the only broadcast reality series launched in recent years to demonstrated staying power.

Tug-Of-War Between Florence, Rome

Michelangelo's 'David'

A longstanding dispute over who owns Michelangelo's statue "David" -- a lucrative tourist magnet -- has reopened between the Italian government and the city of Florence, reports said Monday.

Florence Mayor Matteo Renzi said he had "no doubt" that his city is the rightful owner of the sculpture and that Florence deserved to benefit from the eight million euros (10 million dollars) tourists pay each year to see it -- money that currently goes into national coffers.

Renzi said the ownership of the Carrara marble masterpiece had been transferred to his city in 1871, when Florence lost its status as temporary capital of the newly unified Italy and it shifted to Rome.

But two government lawyers said they had concluded once again that the statue belongs to Rome.

Real-Life Inspiration

Quasimodo

A British archivist believes he has uncovered the real-life inspiration for French novelist Victor Hugo's mysterious character Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

Adrian Glew, who works on the Tate collection's archives in London, was studying the seven-volume handwritten autobiography of 19th century British sculptor Henry Sibson when he came across a reference to a Frenchman whose nickname was "le bossu," or hunchback.

Sibson had been employed in the 1820s to carve stone as part of the renovation of Notre Dame in Paris which had suffered damage during the French Revolution in the 1790s.

According to Sibson, Trajan was a "most worthy, fatherly and amiable man as ever existed -- he was the carver under the government sculptor whose name I forget as I had no intercourse with him. All that I know is that he was humpbacked and he did not like to mix with carvers."

In Memory

Herman Leonard

Jazz scene photographer Herman Leonard, famous for his smoky, backlighted black-and-white photos of such greats as Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra, has died. He was 87.

Leonard, who moved to Los Angeles after Hurricane Katrina flooded his New Orleans home and destroyed thousands of his prints, died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, family spokeswoman Geraldine Baum said on his website. The cause of death wasn't disclosed.

Leonard was considered one of the great mid-century jazz scene photographers. He started in the late 1940s and left a rich chronicle of a musical era with photos taken in New York, Paris and London through the 1960s.

The Smithsonian has more than 130 Leonard photographs in its permanent collection.

He was studying photography at Ohio University when he was called to duty in the U.S. Army during World War II. He returned to college and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1947.

He moved to New York the following year, after an apprenticeship with famed portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh taking pictures of Albert Einstein, Martha Graham and other cultural icons.

He then became immersed in the jazz scene, making deals with club owners to photograph rehearsals and giving them photos for their marquees.

Using a large 4-by-5 Speed Graphic camera, he shot Art Tatum, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan and countless other jazz greats in the smoky haze of jazz clubs. In 1956, he was Marlon Brando's personal photographer on a trip to the Far East.

While his prints were lost in the New Orleans hurricane, his 60,000 negatives were safe, having been sent before Katrina to the Ogden Museum. His return to New Orleans was chronicled in the 2006 BBC/Sundance documentary "Saving Jazz."

In 2008, he was the first photographer to be granted a Grammy Foundation Grant for Preservation and Archiving, enabling him to digitize, catalog and preserve his collection of nearly 60,000 jazz negatives.

Last year, Leonard was the official photographer for the Montreal Jazz Festival, photographing legends such as Tony Bennett and Dave Brubeck.

Leonard is survived by children Valerie, Shana, Michael and David; and six grandchildren.

In Memory

Robert Wilson

Robert Wilson, the bassist for the funk and R&B group the Gap Band, has died. He was 53.

His death was confirmed by Karen Lee, publicist for his brother and Gap Band singer Charlie Wilson.

Robert Wilson had been touring over the past few weeks, including a stop in his hometown in Tulsa, Okla. The Tulsa World reported that he died in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Wilson provided the bass backbone for the trio, which also included another brother, Ronnie. They rocketed to stardom in the 1980s with hits like "Outstanding," "You Dropped a Bomb On Me" and "Yearning for Your Love."
