Costello Cancels Concert in Israel




Gosh this is a tough one! Elvis Costello has pulled out of two concerts at Israel due to concerns over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He said, quote: "Having your name added to a concert schedule may be interpreted as a political act." adding that: his decision was "a matter of instinct and conscience" and "too grave and complex" to be addressed at a concert.

So basically, he said nothing to direct. Maybe words were not a neccesity, where injustice is so obvious.

Dumas, Depardieu and Racial Sparks





Movies are visual, no doubt. The first stages of cinema were silent, as the lovely Louise Brooks reminds me. So controversy arises: A film about French author Alexandre Dumas comes about and a white actor ( Gerard Depardieu) was chosen to portray the novelist, who was of African origin.

After I read this headline I thought that maybe the people against this desicion are right, but then I kept reading, the actor darkend his skin and used a wig..hmmm....well, I loved him Jean de Florrete and if cinema is visual, maybe it all depends on the make up artist....

Lady Gaga missed the point on Fuse interview

this interview was going so well for her...I started to actually like her, maybe I'll forgive her for this mistake:

she was talking about how hip hop does not accept homosexuality- see the video- and then says that she's all peace and love, just like Gandhi...but theres a problem: Gandhi was a homo phobic, as you may read:


"Although(in India) these practices (homosexual ones) are referred to in the traditional Hindu literature and religious mythology, the general attitude towards homosexuality has tended to be disapproval. As editor of the journal Young India, Mahatma Gandhi wrote in 1929 about the "unnatural vice" in boys' school...."
