Miley cyrus : le scandale des photos de vanity fair
Michele Combs, une des représentantes de l'association, a déclaré que "Miley devrait dire qu'il s'agissait d'une erreur et que les enfants devraient être très prudents à un âge aussi jeune. Les enfants la regardent comme un modèle. Quelque chose doit être fait".
Michele Combs a par ailleurs ajouté que la CCA voulait qu'elle s'excuse au cours d'une conférence de presse télévisée, ajoutant "Annie Leibovitz est réputée pour ses photos aisées. Miley aurait dû y réfléchir avant d'accepter de poser pour elle."
Rappelons que Annie Leibovitz a présenté ses excuses hier pour avoir causé une telle controverse (voir "Annie Leibovitz s'excuse pour la photo topless de Miley Cyrus").
Mauvaise surprise pour Ronaldo: les prostituées étaient des travestis
Ronaldo a dû témoigner lundi dans un commissariat de police de la zone ouest de Rio. Le commissaire Carlos Augusto Nogueira a déclaré que Ronaldo, 31 ans, en vacances au Brésil après avoir été opéré en février pour une rupture totale du tendon rotulien du genou gauche, a accusé d'extorsion l'un des travestis qui lui aurait demandé près de 30.000 reals "pour éviter le scandale".
L'incident avec l'ancien double Ballon d'or brésilien (1997, 2002) a commencé lundi à l'aube quand Ronaldo, qui avait assisté à la victoire de son club de coeur, le Flamengo, en finale du championnat de Rio, au stade Maracana, a décidé de prolonger sa soirée après déposé sa petite amie chez elle.
Ronaldo a fait monter dans sa voiture une prostituée pour aller dans un motel et celle-ci lui a suggéré d'en appeler deux autres pour 300 dollars chacune.
Mais il s'est avéré que la prostituée, Andreia Albertine, était en réalité André Luiz Ribeiro Albertino, un travesti de 21 ans, tout comme les deux autres.
"J'ai su qu'Andreia était un travesti quand il me l'a dit... C'était très difficile de voir que c'était un travesti", a affirmé le commissaire.
Quand Ronaldo s'est aperçu de son erreur, il aurait menacé de frapper Andreia qui accuse le "phénomène" de lui avoir demandé d'acheter de la drogue, selon la presse qui reproduit des déclarations du travesti. Celui-ci a aussi pris, avec son téléphone portable, une courte vidéo du footballeur sortant du motel.
Ronaldo "a raconté qu'Andreia a pris les papiers de sa voiture et a exigé 30.000 dollars", a expliqué le commissaire Nogueira.
"Ronaldo a reconnu les faits, il a dit qu'il voulait s'amuser, ce n'est pas un crime. Payer pour avoir des relations sexuelles n'est pas un crime. Il y a de fortes chances pour que Ronaldo ait été victime d'extorsion", a ajouté le commissaire qui a trouvé "très étrange" l'attitude d'Andreia qui est sortie du commissariat en courant sans témoigner.
Miley Cyrus says Vanity Fair photo spread embarrasses her
"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," Cyrus said Sunday in a statement through her publicist. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."
The photos, appearing in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, were taken by Leibovitz, a renowned celebrity photographer whose edgy, silver-toned portraits have included subjects such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and a naked, pregnant Demi Moore.
"I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted," Leibovitz said in a statement released by Vanity Fair. "Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."
The Cyrus pictures accompany an interview with the 15-year-old pop star and her father, singer Billy Ray Cyrus. One photo in particular is causing the biggest stir: the teen idol is wrapped in what appears to be a satin bedsheet, looking over her shoulder with her back exposed.
The Disney Channel, which airs Cyrus' TV show "Hannah Montana," was also critical of Vanity Fair.
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines," a network statement said.
Vanity Fair defended the story and photo shoot in a statement of its own.
"Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day," the magazine said. "Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
In a caption released by Vanity Fair with the photo, Cyrus expressed her comfort with how the apparently topless picture turned out.
"I think it's really artsy," she told the magazine at the time. "It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie."
A handful of borderline racy snapshots of a girl who appeared to be Cyrus have appeared on the Internet in recent months, including images of a girl posing in her underwear and bikini last week. In one shot, she's draped over a young man.
Cyrus is one of the biggest - and most G-rated - acts in the country and is often considered a role model for young girls. Her "Best of Both Worlds" tour sold out arenas, and her successful 3-D concert film collected $31.3 million in its opening weekend in February.

James Bond - Quantum of solace - le tournage
ROME (AFP) - Deux cascadeurs ont été blessés mercredi lors du tournage en Italie du dernier film de James Bond, "Quantum of Solace", quatre jours à peine après la chute dans le lac de Garde (nord) de la célèbre voiture Aston Martin de l'agent secret, a annoncé l'agence Ansa.
L'accident s'est produit lorsque la voiture utilisée par les deux cascadeurs a percuté d'abord le camion de tournage puis un mur. Un des deux hommes, un citoyen grec, se trouve en réanimation dans un état sérieux à l'hôpital Borgo Trento de Vérone, dans le nord du pays, selon la même source.
Samedi déjà, la voiture de l'agent 007, qui n'était pas conduite par l'acteur britannique Daniel Craig interprétant James Bond, avait dérapé, tombant dans le lac de Garde mais sans faire de blessés.
Le tournage de "Quantum of Solace", qui sortira sur les écrans fin 2008, a débuté en janvier en Angleterre et s'est ensuite déplacé au Panama, au Chili ou encore au Mexique. Des scènes doivent également être tournées en Espagne et à Londres dans les studios de Pinewood.
"Quantum of Solace" est le nom d'une nouvelle faisant partie du recueil "For your Eyes Only" ("James Bond en danger", paru en 1961 en français).

TV : Guillaume Durand menacé par Laurent Ruquier ?
Guillaume Durand aurait du souci à se faire d'après Le Point.fr. L'animateur d'Esprits Libres serait en effet menacé par l'arrivée de l'émission de Laurent Ruquier, On n'est pas couché, à la case horaire du vendredi soir.
Le talk-show de Laurent Ruquier, qui serait programmé le vendredi en direct (et non plus le samedi), un peu plus tôt dans la soirée, pourrait ainsi chasser le programme de Guillaume Durand...
Il serait très difficile pour les animateurs et les producteurs d'avoir des informations et des engagements fiables en raison de la mauvaise ambiance qui régnerait dans les couloirs de France 2. Toujours d'après LePoint.fr, Nicolas Pernikoff (directeur des variétés et divertissements) et Eric Stemmelen (directeur des programmes) ne s'adresseraient plus la parole...
Michael Moore endorses Obama, chides Clinton
Moore endorsed Obama in a 1,100-word posting on his Web site Monday. It includes praise for the Illinois senator and harsh words for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic Party and the Bush administration.
Lamenting the lack of a valid primary in his home state of Michigan, Moore writes that Obama's experience and voting record aren't as important as his "basic decency" and ability to inspire.
"What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change," Moore writes. "My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate."
"Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting," he writes, saying that she has tried to "smear" Obama - "Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity."
Most of Moore's ire is directed at the Bush administration "and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world."
"I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for eight long years," he writes. "That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters - that big 'D' on the ballot."
Moore says he is disappointed with the Democratic Party, too, for failing to end the war despite public outcry and for "do(ing) the bidding of the corporate elite in this country. Any endorsement of a Democrat must be done with this acknowledgment ..."

Veteran Disney animator Ollie Johnston dies at 95
Ollie Johnston, the last of the "Nine Old Men" who animated "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,""Fantasia,""Bambi" and other classic Walt Disney films has died. He was 95.
Johnston died of natural causes Monday at a long-term care facility in Sequim, Wash., Walt Disney Studios Vice President Howard E. Green said Tuesday.
"Ollie was part of an amazing generation of artists, one of the real pioneers of our art, one of the major participants in the blossoming of animation into the art form we know today," Roy E. Disney, nephew of Walt Disney and director emeritus of the Walt Disney Co., said in a statement.
Walt Disney lightheartedly dubbed his team of crack animators his "Nine Old Men," borrowing the phrase from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's description of the U.S. Supreme Court's members, who had angered the president by quashing many of his Depression-era New Deal programs.
Although most of Disney's men were in their 20s at the time, the name stuck with them for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps the two most accomplished of the nine were Johnston and his close friend Frank Thomas, who died in 2004 at age 92. The pair, who met as art students at Stanford University in the 1930s, were hired by Disney for $17 a week at a time when he was expanding the studio to produce full-length feature films. Both worked on the first of those features, 1937's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
Johnston and Thomas and their families became next-door neighbors in the Los Angeles suburb of Flintridge, and during their 45-minute drive to the Disney Studios each day, they would devise fresh ideas for work.
Johnston worked as an assistant animator on "Snow White," became an animation supervisor on "Fantasia" and "Bambi" and animator on "Pinocchio."
He was especially proud of his work on "Bambi" and its classic scenes, including one depicting the heartbreaking death of Bambi's mother at the hands of a hunter. That scene has brought tears to the eyes of generations of young and old viewers.
"The mother's death showed how convincing we could be at presenting really strong emotion," he remarked in 1999.
Johnston's other credits included "Cinderella,""Alice in Wonderland,""Peter Pan""Lady and the Tramp,""Sleeping Beauty,""101 Dalmatians,""Mary Poppins,""The Jungle Book,""The Aristocats,""Robin Hood" and "The Rescuers."
"(People) know his work. They know his characters. They've seen him act without realizing it," said film historian Leonard Maltin. "He was one of the pillars, one of the key contributors to the golden age of Disney animation."
After Johnston and Thomas retired in 1978, they lectured at schools and film festivals in the United States and Europe and co-authored the books "Bambi; the Story and the Film,""Too Funny for Words,""The Disney Villains" and the epic "Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life." They were also the subjects of the 1995 documentary "Frank and Ollie," produced by Thomas' son Ted.
The pair's guide to animation is considered "the bible" among animators, said John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar animation studios and Johnston's longtime friend.
Oliver Martin Johnston Jr. was born on Oct. 31, 1912, in Palo Alto, Calif., where his father was a professor at Stanford. He once noted that he and Thomas "were bound to be thrown together" at the university, as they were two of only six students in its art department at the time. When not in class, they painted landscapes and sold them at a local speakeasy for meal money.
Johnston had planned on becoming a magazine illustrator but fell in love with animation.
"I wanted to paint pictures full of emotion that would make people want to read the stories," he once said. "But I found that here (in animation) was something that was full of life and movement and action, and it showed all those feelings."
Johnston was honored with a Disney Legends Award in 1989 and, in 2005, he was the first animator honored with the National Medal of Arts at a White House ceremony.
He was also a major train enthusiast. The backyard of his Flintridge home boasted a hand-built miniature railroad, and Johnston restored and ran a full-size antique locomotive at a former vacation home in Julian, Calif.
Johnston's wife of 63 years, Marie Worthey, died in 2005. Johnston is survived by sons Ken and Rick and daughters-in-law Carolyn Johnston and Teya Priest Johnston. The Walt Disney Studios is planning a life celebration for Johnston. Funeral services will be private.
`X-Files' movie title is out there: `I Want to Believe'
The second big-screen spinoff of the paranormal TV adventure will be called "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," Chris Carter, the series' creator and the movie's director and co-writer, told The Associated Press.
Distributor 20th Century Fox signed off on the title Wednesday.
The title is a familiar phrase for fans of the series that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents chasing after aliens and supernatural happenings. "I Want to Believe" was the slogan on a poster Duchovny's UFO-obsessed agent Fox Mulder had hanging in the cluttered basement office where he and Anderson's Dana Scully worked.
"It's a natural title," Carter said in a telephone interview Tuesday during a break from editing the film. "It's a story that involves the difficulties in mediating faith and science. 'I Want to Believe.' It really does suggest Mulder's struggle with his faith."
"I Want to Believe" comes 10 years after the first film and six years after the finale of the series, whose opening credits for much of its nine-year run featured the catch-phrase "the truth is out there."
Due in theaters July 25, the movie will not deal with aliens or the intricate mythology about interaction between humans and extraterrestrials that the show built up over the years, Carter said.
Instead, it casts Mulder and Scully into a stand-alone, earth-bound story aimed at both serious "X-Files" fans and newcomers, he said.
"It has struck me over the last several years talking to college-age kids that a lot of them really don't know the show or haven't seen it," Carter said. "If you're 20 years old now, the show started when you were 4. It was probably too scary for you or your parents wouldn't let you watch it. So there's a whole new audience that might have liked the show. This was made to, I would call it, satisfy everyone."
Hardcore fans need not worry that the movie will be going back to square one, though, Carter said. The movie will be true to the spirit of the show and everything Mulder and Scully went through, he said.
"The reason we're even making the movie is for the rabid fans, so we don't want to insult them by having to take them back through the concept again," Carter said.
Carter said he settled on "I Want to Believe" from the time he and co-writer Frank Spotnitz started on the screenplay. It took so long to go public with it because studio executives wanted to make sure it was a marketable title, he said.
The filmmakers have kept the story tightly under wraps to prevent plot spoilers from leaking on the Internet, a phenomenon that barely existed when the first movie came out in 1998.
"We went to almost comical lengths to keep the story a secret," Carter said. "That included allowing only the key crew members to read the script, and they had to read it in a room that had video cameras trained on them. It was a new experience."

Carla Bruni : son prochain album est prêt !
Si on savait déjà que la première dame de France préparait son troisième album, on sait désormais que celui-ci est prêt à sortir. Mais il faudra attendre le 25 août pour pouvoir écouter le dernier opus de Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, toujours chez Naïve (maison de disques qui l'a lancée), mais signé Carla Bruni, selon nos confrères de TV Envie.
Selon l'hebdomadaire, l'album réalisé par le père de Sinclair, Dominique Blanc-Francard (qui avait déjà travaillé sur les deux précédents), comportera un poème de Michel Houellebecq que la chanteuse a mis en musique. Carla a également écrit un texte sur une partition de Robert Schumann, et dédié une chanson à son frère disparu d'un cancer en 2006, intitulée Salut marin.
Enfin, toujours selon TV Envie, l'épouse de Nicolas Sarkozy a remanié à sa sauce le célèbre titre You Belong to Me, de Bob Dylan, qui figurera sur l'album sous le titre Tu m'appartiens.
Carla Bruni ne partira pas en tournée pour des raisons de sécurité. De même, elle ne devrait pas faire de clip. Cependant, elle sera tenue de faire la promotion de son disque.
Avec ou sans Nicolas ?

Baby with 2 faces born in north India
SAINI SUNPURA, India - A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.
The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated — she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.
"My daughter is fine — like any other child," said Vinod Singh, 23, a poor farm worker.
Lali has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini Sunpura, 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery on March 11, she was swarmed by villagers, said Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital.
"She drinks milk from her two mouths and opens and shuts all the four eyes at one time," Ali said.
Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.
'Leading a normal life'
Up to 100 people have been visiting Lali at her home every day to touch her feet out of respect, offer money and receive blessings, Singh told The Associated Press.
"Lali is God's gift to us," said Jaipal Singh, a member of the local village council. "She has brought fame to our village."
Gurinder Osan / AP The baby's rare condition is often linked to serious health complications, but Lali is doing well, a doctor says. |
"I am writing to the state government to provide money to build the temple and help the parents look after their daughter," Ram said.
Lali's condition is often linked to serious health complications, but the doctor said she was doing well.
"She is leading a normal life with no breathing difficulties," said Ali, adding that he saw no need for surgery.
Lali's parents were married in February 2007. Lali is their first child.
Singh said he took his daughter to a hospital in New Delhi where doctors suggested a CT scan to determine whether her internal organs were normal, but Singh said he felt it was unnecessary.
"I don't feel the need of that at this stage as my daughter is behaving like a normal child, posing no problems," he said.

Damages
Damages suit les affaires traitées par Hewes et Associés, un prestigieux cabinet de New York, dirigé d'une poigne de fer par Patty Hewes, une avocate particulièrement retorse. Durant la première saison, Patty combat Arthur Frobisher, un puissant homme d'affaires, soupçonné d'avoir provoqué la faillite d'une de ses sociétés et du même coup la ruine de ses employés. Ceux-ci ont engagé Patty pour défendre leurs intérêts en justice. De son côté, Frobisher, aidé de son propre avocat, le redoutable Ray Fiske, va tout faire pour défendre ses biens et sa réputation. Les séries judiciaires de qualité sont nombreuses mais Damages se distingue de ses devancières par l'univers sombre et amoral qu'elle dépeint. Des luttes féroces mettent aux prises des avocats retors qui semblent prêts à tout pour parvenir à leurs fins. Dès les premiers épisodes, Patty Hewes n'hésite pas à faire tuer le chien d'un témoin pour l'influencer. Déjà remarquée dans The Shield, Glenn Close incarne avec subtilité cette avocate manipulatrice et ambiguë, qui brouille les repères de ses collaborateurs et dont on ne sait très bien ce qui l'anime : la soif de justice, le goût du pouvoir ou le simple esprit de compétition. On retrouve aussi au générique des figures des séries, comme Ted Danson, habitué d'ordinaire à des rôles plus légers (Cheers, Becker) ou Željko Ivanek, un des grands méchants de la télé (24, Oz). Grâce à ce casting de choix et à de solides scénarios, Damages a été bien reçue par la critique et à déjà été reconduite pour deux saisons supplémentaires. |

BONES
Bones suit les travaux de Temperance Brennan, une anthropologue spécialisée dans la reconstitution et l'analyse des ossements humains. Celle-ci est capable d'établir le profil de personnes décédées, et de déterminer les circonstances de leur mort, simplement en examinant leur squelette. Ses aptitudes sont remarquées par le FBI, qui fait appel à elle dans le cadre d'enquêtes criminelles lorsque les méthodes traditionnelles d'identification des corps sont inefficaces. Le docteur Brennan travaille en collaboration avec l'agent spécial Seeley Booth, un ancien tireur d'élite de l'armée, plutôt sceptique à l'égard des méthodes scientifiques. La série s'ajoute à la liste croissante de fictions policières basées sur un domaine scientifique particulier : la criminologie dans Les Experts, les mathématiques dans Numb3rs, la médecine légale dans Preuve à l'appui. Elle repose également sur l'opposition typique entre deux protagonistes antinomiques : la scientifique solitaire à l'aise dans son laboratoire et le policier de terrain qui fait surtout confiance à son instinct. On retrouve aussi dans l'équipe du docteur Brennan des personnages assez classiques, comme Zach, le petit génie qui multiplie les doctorats (déjà vu dans Esprits criminels). Même si tous ces éléments ont comme un goût de déjà vu, Bones est un mélange réussi d'action, de suspense et de comédie. On remarque dans la distribution David Boreanaz, qui incarnait Angel, le vampire mélancolique, dans la série du même nom et auparavant dans Buffy contre les vampires. |

F1 Boss Max Mosley Caught With Five Hookers In Nazi Orgy Video Scandal
The orgy allegedly took place on Friday at a $4 million apartment-cum-dungeon near his home in London's upscale Chelsea neighborhood. A video of the full session was leaked to The News of the World.
As President of FIA, Mosley is responsible for overseeing international motor sports, including Formula One. He enjoys a close relationship with F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
Mosley's father Oswald was a notorious fascist and Hitler supporter. Max has been controversially linked to his father's beliefs.
Kicking off the orgy by playing a concentration camp detainee, Mosley had both his genitals and head inspected for lice before lying to the hookers to purposefully bring about a severe beating. After the session ended, the girls enjoyed a glass of wine. Mosley was offered one as well, but turned it down in favor of a cup of tea. It's not known what ramifications this will have on Mosley's career or the sport he governs. [Via News Of The World]
