Prince Harry, Rocker With A Cause

Wild About Prince Harry
"And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood"  - Lorde "Royals"

Honestly I have never really been a follower of the Royal Family, it has never been my thing. That being stated the major exception to that rule was of course Princess Diana. She was the only princess that really crossed over and made a huge impact on the world around her.

Kudos to Prince Harry for keeping his mother's legacy of philanthropy and giving alive. Last night the Prince belted out a tune with the band Coldplay in the backyard of Kensington Palace who was headlining a benefit for his Sentebale Charity which he aided in establishing in 2006

The proceeds went to the people of Lesotho in South Africa battling HIV and AIDS.
"Sentebale, meaning forget me not in Sesotho, has helped tens of thousands of children in just over a decade." The Prince stated.

He continued: "What we know is that HIV is a virus that thrives off silence and feeds on stigma. We must follow the example of the young people of Lesotho, and meet one of the great challenges of our generation with optimism, energy, and openness. That's what tonight is all about. When people come together for a purpose we can achieve extraordinary things."

Pamela Anderson, Jane Fonda & Jake Shears Are "Connected"

Stripped Down
Pamela Anderson
Bet you'd never thought you would see this combo of three names together? Frankly, neither did I, but in the good ole biz of show these days I also know anything goes.

Oh yes, let me spill exactly how these three appear in the same headline. Pamela Anderson stars in a sci-fi short by Luke Gilford, bearing the title Connected. Which also features narration by Jane Fonda and music by Jake Shears. Got it?

Here is what filmmaker/photographer Gilford has to say about it: 

“’Connected’ is a portrait of a woman grappling with aging, self-perception, and transformation in a technologically optimized world,” Gilford explains on his website. “Jackie (Pamela Anderson) is … obsessed with self-improvement tapes (voiced by Jane Fonda), and she is soon drawn to an advanced yet enigmatic wellness spa that promises to enhance her mind, body, and soul.”
The short is quite effective and shows Ms. Anderson in a whole new light, as someone who is yearning for something different than what she has been pigeonholed as. Kudos Pamela you did a bang up job! Cheers to seeing more of this type of of thing from you in your future endeavors, stay Connected. 
View Connected after the jump!

Unhappy Ending With Lucy Hale

Do I Look Happy?!
Lucy Hale
Pretty Little Liars is back, five years after the torture "A" aka Charlotte DiLaurentis and guess who turned up D-E-A-D in Rosewood? "A" got out of the nut house and someone killed her ass!

Obviously this will be the central mystery (with a lot of sub plots happening) for the seventh and rumor has it, final season of the show. 

What did I think you ask? I loved the five year forward jump. It added much needed new life to the show. While I would never abandon my "Liars" the switching things up move proved to be awesome! Kudos to the astute writing.

How will it all end? Out of the mouth of Lucy Hale aka Aria Montgomery comes this bold statement:

"I used to say, oh I want the girls to end up happy and live an A-free life, but I kind of want it to end really tragically," Hale shares. "I want people to be really upset, like they've lost something when the show ends, because I know that my favorite shows have ended that way, so a tragic ending. I'll just leave it at that." 

Bingo! I have to get with Lucy on this comment. Cheers to an unhappy series finale!

Keep up with the Lying at:

They're All Going To Laugh At You, Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne: Have A Bloody Good Halloween!
Happy Monday and only 11 more days until Halloween! Yes!

I thought I would kick off the week with one of my favorite celebrity Halloween costumes, worn by one of my favorite celebrities.

Let's celebrate the season with one of the coolest people on the planet, Ms. Kelly Osbourne paying homage to one of my favorite movies with actors in their mid to late twenties  playing teenagers, Carrie.

That's right KO is dressed for the prom as the one and only Carrie White, with the must have accessory of the season, pig blood doused all over her beautiful dress.

Only she could have come up with such a great costume, and pull it off.

I love Kelly she is a tough woman with a mouth like a trucker and a heart of gold. Currently on Fashion Police, Kelly has come a long way since her The Osbournes days.

Kudos Kelly! Have a great week everyone!

Laugh With Kelly, Not At Kelly:

Shop Till You Drop! "Dallas Buyers Club"


Last night I saw one of the best films ever "Dallas Buyers Club!"  In case you are not familiar with this amazing movie that stars Matthew McConaughey , Jared Leto & Jennifer Garner here's what it's about:

Matthew McConaughey stars in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience. 

Garner, McConaughey & Leto Sitting In A Tree
The transformative power of resilience, dignity and acceptance are very powerful things and because they are, so is this film.

For me this is one the best I have seen this year. It was such a testament to what we all can do as human beings in adverse circumstances and the power of loving your fellow man.

The direction, cinematography and performances were all top notch.

My prediction is Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto who recently won Golden Globes for their roles, will be making speeches at the Academy Awards.

Matthew McConaughey is great, however my in my opinion Jared Leto's performance was brilliant and riveting and I can't wait for him to grab the ultimate gold.

Kudos to Ms. Jennifer Garner as well.

Sprint don't run to catch this one!
