| Those goody
goody Germans!
John Ashcroft and the executives from the Deutsche Bank are kindred
spirits. Recently, the Bank rented out Spring Street, a Manhattan
restaurant, for a company party but requested that white canvases
be strategically draped to hide various graphically detailed scenes
of fornicating couples painted on the wall. The bankers were afraid
that some female clients might be offended. But why should they?
After all, the paintings were merely replicas of etchings commissioned
by the Vatican in the sixteenth century.
Kiarostami: The Toast of Italy
A play directed by the Iranian film director Abbas Kiarostami, is
a great success in Italy. It not only attracted a large number of
Italians but also was highly appealing to the Iranians residing
Italy. Who knew Italians would like to sit through a four hour play
in Persian about the campaigns launched by Muslim warriors in the
early years of Islam? This play surely isn’t going to be opening
in Broadway anytime soon! Kiarostami told IRNA that his great attraction
to theater since an early age and introduction of Iranian traditional
theater to Italians to find out their reaction to such historical
events are his main objectives in staging the play.
The next Googoosh?
Catherine Bell, the star of the TV show JAG as well as the movie
Bruce Almighty co-starring Jim Carrey, was recently featured
on LA’s Good Day Live where she was congratulated on her next
project: Her pregnancy! Congrats to Catherine and hubby, actor
Adam Beason. Will Catherine teach her new tot the Farsi language?
We have no doubt that she will. The exotic actress has made
no secret of her Iranian heritage (Her mom is Iranian and she
grew up among her Iranian relatives). She even displayed her
flawless Farsi skills in an episode of JAG. Now, the latest
rumors growing on the Internet is that she will play the role
of Googoosh in an upcoming biographic film about the Iranian
pop singer’s life. We think it’s the perfect match, don’t you?
Catherine Bell: Dead Ringer for Googoosh???

Catherine Bell: Dead Ringer for Googoosh???
Osbourne booed off stage
Are the golden days for America’s most rebellious teen over?
Seems poor Kelly Osbourne did not quite get the reception she is
used to when she performed at the Millennium Dome in London. The
chubby pop princess promptly left the stage after plastic bottles
and other missiles were pelted at her by the unappreciative crowd.
When she tried to sing her hit “Shut Up”, the crowd promptly yelled
back: "F*** off!" Kelly responded by shouting: "F***
you and your mothers," before marching off, but not before
throwing a drumstick into the crowd. Maybe she would have had more
success if she had bitten the head of a bat off, like dad Ozzy???
