All of the characters in Albert Nobbs , a mild and mildly stirring adaptation of the George Moore short story, are dreamers. Employees in a mid-19th century Dublin inn, they dream of each other, chiefly, and the ways in which they might be set free. They deceive each other, as well, so that their dreams are often projected onto false fronts — of character, of obligation, and — in a couple of cases — of tightly bound breasts.
Tucked away in this report that Orson’s Welles’s Citizen Kane Oscar finally sold this week for $861,542, find this depressing revelation: “Underbidder David Copperfield had been eager to acquire the statuette because Welles apparently was something of a magician himself. Copperfield already owns many props from the movie.” The winner of the auction has not been identified, but whatever. “Underbidder David Copperfield.” Saddest holiday ever. [ Deadline ]
The residents of Italy were given a beautiful reason to be thankful this weekend: Elisabetta Canalis unveiled her nude PETA ad in Milano yesterday. George Clooney’s gorgeous ex, who didn’t make it very far on Dancing with the Stars this season, is urging fans not to buy even the tiniest amount of real fur. “You must remember that animals don’t have a voice,” she said earlier this fall. “You must be their voice. Never be afraid to speak up.” Or pose up in your birthday suit, as the case here may be. Speaking of which, feel free to hate on Mehcad Brooks, fellas.

Bow Wow may not be Lil Bow Wow anymore, but he’s in a Lil trouble with the federal government over some back taxes. Like more than 90 grand worth. A tax lien filed in Florida by the U.S. government says the rapper owes Uncle Sam $91,105.61 to be exact for unpaid taxes dating back to the year 2006. Bow Wow took to his blog to dispute the report of his financial troubles, calling it “not true,” and advising his fans not to believe celebrity gossip outlets. “We all know not to believe anything that the media writes or blogs,” Bow Wow wrote . “It’s their job to entertain the minds of the simple minded.” Deep . He urged fans to ignore the report and turn their attention to the release of his now delayed album Underrated . Gotta pay down those debts somehow! “Stay away from them damn blogs its bad for your health,” he then wrote. “Remember Ima always keep it 100 with yall and let yall know the real on anything I got going on even if its bad if it’s the truth I’ll own up to it.” It’s true. He proved it when he admitted fatherhood and suicidal thoughts . [Photo: WENN.com]
A new UK study has shown that exercising is key in preventing the recurrence of cancer in survivors. This challenges the recommendation that survivors should get more rest and take it easy. All patients getting cancer treatment should be told to do two and a half hours of physical exercise every week, says a report by Macmillan Cancer Support.Being advised to rest and take it easy after treatment is an outdated view, the charity says. Research shows that exercise can reduce the risk of dying from cancer and minimize the side effects of treatment. The Department of Health says local initiatives can get people moving. Macmillan’s report, Move More, says that of the two million cancer survivors in the UK, around 1.6 million are not physically active enough. Adult cancer patients and cancer survivors should undertake 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week, the reports says, which is what the Department of Health guidelines recommend. In the report, the American College of Sports Medicine also recommends that exercise is safe during and after most types of cancer treatment and says survivors should avoid inactivity. It doesn’t need to be anything too strenuous, doing the gardening, going for a brisk walk or a swim, all count” Getting active, the report says, can help people overcome the effects of cancer and its treatments, such as fatigue and weight gain. “The evidence review shows that physical exercise does not increase fatigue during treatment, and can in fact boost energy after treatment.” [ SOURCE ] Written by HelloBeautiful’s fitness blogger Koku GET MORE HERE Foods You Should Eat for Younger Looking Skin Walk Off that Belly Flab

The stunning elimination of Pia Toscano on American Idol Thursday night will no doubt go down as one of the show’s most controversial in 10 seasons. Despite her lackluster stage presence, her talent outclassed much of the field, with many predicting she would make it all the way to the May 25 finale. No one understood why Pia was in the bottom three to begin with. As the results were revealed, the judges and her fellow hopefuls were dumbstruck. When the show ended, no one in the studio audience moved. In past eliminations, it’s been an easy transition off the stage, but this was no ordinary elimination. Crushed, Pia buried her head in Jacob Lusk’s chest. Haley Reinhardt wiped away tears and prompted the crowd to cheer for Pia. Stefano Langone looked destroyed and guilty that he kept a spot over Pia. Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler surrounded her to show their support, as if she’d just lost a loved one. It was that kind of shocker. But the votes don’t lie, and this wasn’t the first such shocker on Idol . Still, it’s gotta be top five, right? Here are four that ranked up there with it: Chris Daughtry. The presumptive winner of season five was ousted before Taylor Hicks (winner), Katharine McPhee AND Elliott Yamin. Wow. Melinda Dolittle. The veteran backup singer was on a collision course for a finale with Jordin Sparks (winner), but Blake Lewis beat her out. Michael Johns and Carly Smithson. They finished eighth and sixth in Season 7 (David Cook and David Archuleta finished 1-2) Far too low. Jennifer Hudson. The future Oscar winner finished 7th in Season 3. Fantasia (winner) has had a nice career, but finalists 2-? Unknowns. What do you think? Was Pia Toscano the most shocking elimination of all? Something to ponder as you watch her swan song last night, “I’ll Stand By You.” Some of the first words: “Why you look so sad …” Pia Toscano – I’ll Stand By You (American Idol) [Photo: Fox]
