Victoria Beckham and son Brooklyn support Save the Children in Kentucky

 Victoria Beckham in Kentucky for Save the Children

 

 LOVE the smile!

 

Sweet. Darling, actually.

I LOVE that Victoria Beckham is teaching her boys the importance of giving back. Posh and eldest son Brooklyn traveled to Kentucky in support of Save the Children and I think it's fantastic. 

Say what you will about this family and all their money, beauty and whatever, but I'm on board with them. (Like y'all didn't already know that. Pssssh.)

"Victoria Beckham is "delighted" her son is undertaking charity work.
Brooklyn Beckham - the star's eldest child with husband David Beckham - visited poverty-stricken state Kentucky with Save The Children after learning about the state at his exclusive school in Los Angeles.

The 10-year-old youngster played soccer with children at Manchester Elementary School and presented them with shoes and backpacks, before joining in with an after-school reading group.

He and Victoria then went to read with children at nearby Big Creek Elementary school.

Victoria said: "I'm pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet.

"Seeing Save the Children's innovative programmes in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis."

As one of the poorest counties in America, Clay County has high illiteracy rates and obesity in children is a massive problem.

She added: "What I saw in Clay County was the hope and promise inherent in every child."
"That's why we have to make sure every single child has a fair and equal start in life."

Wonderful. Just wonderful. And Victoria looks sweet, genuine and so happy.

Robert Rodriguez to begin filming "Machete" - but where are the hot chicks?

Director, Robert Rodriguez

Danny Trejo - Machete

"ROBERT RODRIGUEZ has reportedly assembled an all-star cast for his new GRINDHOUSE spin-off, including ROBERT DE NIRO, JONAH HILL, and MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ.

The movie is based on a fake trailer that appeared before Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's 2007 Grindhouse double-bill.

Two years on, the filmmaker has decided to turn it into a full-length film.
Danny Trejo will reprise his role as Machete, a madman hellbent on revenge, and De Niro will play a senator who double-crosses him."

I LOVE Robert Rodriguez's movies...LOVE THEM. I loved Grindhouse, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Desperado--all of them. The casting of Michelle Rodriguez (no relationship, as far as I know) troubles me, though. In all of Robert's previous films, he's had extremely sizzling hot actresses; and no offense to Michelle, but well, not so hot. Compared to Salma Hayek, Marley Shelton, Rose McGowan, and the stunning Rosario Dawson?

Wow. Come ON, Robert!

More Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" Photos to Tease Us!

Mia Wasikowska as Alice

The tremendous Johnny Depp as
The Mad Hatter

Anne Hathaway as The White Queen

Helena Bonham-Carter as

The Queen of Hearts (The Red Queen)

Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" film will no doubt, be much more true to Lewis Carroll's vision, as opposed to the Disney animated version (although I still LOVE that movie!).

You can count on Oscar nods for make-up, costuming and probably set design for this film. I can't WAIT to see Johnny let loose as the Mad Hatter. He's every nut's favorite character in "Alice", right?

Wait. What?

PETA Needs to Quit Being Dumb.

Did ya'll see President Obama kill that fly with his bare hands yesterday during an interview? It was AWESOME. Do you know how difficult that is? I clapped my hands and laughed when I saw it on CNN.

Here's where it gets stupid: PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) flipped their collective wig once they caught wind of the massacre.

The Huffington Post reported:

WASHINGTON — The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.

"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.

Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."

Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter."

My eyes are rolling so hard I look like a goddamned slot machine. Seriously? A FLY?? Don't the PETA folks have something better to do, like NOT seeing a problem with their leathery poster girl Pamela Anderson dancing on tables at the opening of a STEAKHOUSE/strip joint in NYC? PETA needs to get back to freeing the test mice rather than bitching about President Obama's accomplishing a feat only superheroes are capable of accomplishing.

This is one creepy-ass song--and I LOVE it.

I heard an old favorite today on Sirius/XM today, "Possum Kingdom" by Toadies. I blasted this shit driving the kids to school back in the day. (No wise-ass remarks about why one of my kids had some issues--it wasn't the music he was raised on, I assure you.)

ANYgay. Give a listen if you wanna be creeped out a bit. I thought it felt a little vampirey when I first heard it...then I thought it was about a murder that may or may not have actually occurred, with a little "Twin Peaks" tossed in for good measure. "She's DEAD. Wrapped. In plastic."

Discuss.
