Cate Blanchett , Denzel Washington,... In Line For Golden Globe Awards



Cate Blanchett will get two shots at an award and Russell Crowe stars in a movie in line for best film when the Golden Globes are handed out next month.

Blanchett has been nominated for best actress for her reprisal role as England's virgin queen in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and is in line for a best supporting actress award for playing Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' I'm Not There.

American Gangster, co-starring Crowe, is in the running for best film and a Golden Globe best actor award for star Denzel Washington.

Two movies set against different wars, Atonement and Charlie Wilson's War, dominate the nominations, with Atonement earning seven nods including best drama.

Experts said the Golden Globe nominations did little to define leaders in the Oscar race.

Still, there were clear winners such as drama Atonement, comedy Charlie Wilson's War and musical Sweeney Todd, and one chief loser, Into the Wild.

David Poland of website Movie City News was pointed when asked what the Golden Globe nods did to narrow the list of serious Oscar candidates. "Nothing. Of the 15 or so contenders, they got 14. The only one left out was Into the Wild, but given the recent history of the Golden Globes with Crash or Munich, that doesn't mean anything."

'Thainee', The world's Smallest Porn Star

William Sparrow She hails from Udon Thani in Thailand's Northeast, an area known as Isaan, but also known for its poverty, rice farming and beautful women that often constitute the majority of the girls working the bars in tourist haunts of Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. This particular teenaged Isaan girl has, by choosing to work in pornography over bars and being a mere 134 cm (4'5") tall and weighing only 32.9 kg (72.5 lbs), gained the title of 'world's smallest pornstar'. Some basic research into the subject seems to prove that the appropriately stage named 'Thainee' with stats of 74B-54-70 (28B-21-27) is in fact the world's smallest pornstar - at least of the non-midget variety. Even former adult start and Vivid contract girl Kobe Tai, (a/k/a: Carla Carter, Clara Scott, Blake Young, and Brooke Young), of Taiwanese decent and loved for her petite figure seems statuesque and portly at 81-55-81 (32-22-32), 41 kg (90 lbs) and 160 cm (5'

Megan Fox hates her position as the Sexiest Woman In The World - insisting the flattering title "annoys" her. The Transformers actress was voted the top babe in FHM magazine's annual list of lovelies earlier this year (Apr08). But the sexy star isn't keen to promote herself as a screen siren, and hates getting raunchy on set after her "awkward" love scenes in upcoming movie Jennifer's Body. She tells MTV UK.com, "I'm not comfortable with it (FHM Sexiest Woman) at all. It annoys me. "I have a few love scenes (in Jennifer's Body). I eat and seduce everyone - boys and girls. There's a lot of kissing and craziness. It was awkward, it's always awkward and it's never fun."

I will rather go to jail than live with you

The expression: “I will rather go to jail than live with you” inspires Lawrence John Ripple, a 70-year-old man who said he robbed a Kansas City, Kansas, bank so he could get away from his wife blamed his actions on depression. A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced Lawrence John Ripple to probation in the form of home detention. Ripple went to the Bank of Labor — a block from police headquarters — last September. He gave a note to a teller saying he had a gun and was demanding money. After he was given it, Ripple waited for police. Court records indicate Ripple wrote the robbery note in front of his wife and told her he would rather be in jail than at home. The Kansas City Star reports Ripple told the judge Tuesday that heart surgery left him depressed and unlike himself before he robbed the bank.
