A plan to record an update to the 1985 benefit song "We Are the World" has been postponed by organizers, who say that raising funds for the victims of the tsunami disaster in south Asia takes precedence for now.

Veteran hit music producer Quincy Jones and performer/producer Jermaine Dupri had planned to record a new version of the song – titled "We Are the Future" – on Feb. 14, a day after the upcoming Grammy Awards.

--I'm sorry, but "We Are the Future" just doesn't have the same ring. Also, do you think the problem stems from the lack of talent there is out there to have sing the song? I remember looking at that video and being in awe of the talent they had singing. Wouldn't quite be the same with Ashlee Simpson, Hillary Duff, and Eminem, now would it?

A Romanian couple who met each other on the internet have named their baby Yahoo.

--My parents met when my mom (while at IU) and her sorority sisters played in a IU-DePauw (where my dad went) bridge tournament. Good thing they didn't name me Slam (which my mother informed me is a bridge term).

1 Funny you mentioned Bridge. I had a dream about Bridge last night. It was very weird; especially since I have no earthly idea how to play. Figure that one out.

Another example of Broadway hitting the big screen:

Variety reports that out writer-director Bill Condon (Kinsey) has been tapped to direct the long-awaited film adaptation of the Broadway smash Dreamgirls.

Condon, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of Gods and Monsters, received an Academy Award nomination for writing another musical adaptation, Chicago. Dreamgirls tells the story of a Supremes-like trio of female singers who rise from obscurity to superstardom.

--Thanks for the tip, Chuck.

Ashley Olsen parties like a rock star:

Ashley Olsen and her pals celebrated their holiday break in a bungalow suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel - and then some of them allegedly wrecked the place.

A spy reports: "They completely trashed it. There was total disregard and disrespect for property."

But the spy insists: "It was total excess - expensive stuff and Champagne lying around everywhere. Of course, they had to go to the Beverly Hills Hotel and wreck a room. It's such a celebrity cliché."

This story doesn't top the pain level of the one a few posts down, but it's close:

A grandmother ended up in hospital when she confused her eye drops with superglue. Terry Horder, 78, reached for the medicated drops in her fridge but got the glue instead.

Nurses used vegetable oil to try to remove the glue which fused Mrs Horder's eyelashes together and seeped under the lids.

Hell Hath No Fury... (To my male readers: read with caution)

A jilted girl tore off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands - then popped it in her mouth, a court heard yesterday. Amanda Monti, 24, grabbed Jeffrey Jones, 37, by the genitals in a rage after he refused to have sex.

She ripped off his left testicle leaving him in "excruciating pain". Monti, just 5ft 2in, then put it in her mouth to hide it.

The testicle was later found by a pal of Mr Jones who handed it back, saying: "That's yours." Doctors were unable to re-attach it.

After a party at his home in Netherton, she wanted sex but he was not interested. There was a struggle and she ripped off his shorts leaving him in his pants.

--Did she think that was going to make him want to have sex? Looks like there's a little Lorena Bobbit in a lot of women.

3 And the popped it in her mouth! And then the friend hands it back to him! And it all started because HE didn't want to have sex! Oh, my. This made my morning.

Posted by: chuck at January 12, 2005 08:51 AM (rMsZL)

4 Isn't is usually women who accuse men of liking them only because he is always wanting sex with her. Amanda should have been flattered that her boyfriend was showing sexual restraint! Oh the article finally showed up. She is a jilted ex-GF. Okay this makes more sense. She wanted pure revenge. Woman has ISSUES!!!!

US presidential candidate John Kerry might have got some votes had Eminem released his anti-Bush single and accompanying video much before the election, or so he thinks.

According to Rate the music, Eminem released 'Mosh' just before the election, but he fears he could have swung the vote against the President if the track was released two weeks earlier.

--Whatever, Em. You're don't have that much pull with voters. Most of the people that listen to you don't even vote anyway.

Female lawyers in Cyprus have won a round in the battle to reform their legal profession by winning the right to wear trousers in court.

Until now the dress code for women was dark skirts and jackets with white blouses but new regulations for dark "classic cut" trousers were approved by the Supreme Court and introduced at the beginning of the year.

But lest some females take their newly-found dress freedom too far, the Supreme Court cautions that the material and style of the trousers should remain within the realm of good taste.

--They allow women to attend law school there, but still restrict their wardrobes?

Brad and Angelina are maintaining that they are close, but strictly platonic.

However, rumor has it that...

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's marriage came to an end after she caught him having phone sex with Angelina Jolie, it has been claimed.

Britain's News of the World newspaper alleges that the former 'Friends' beauty went "ballistic" when she heard her husband having steamy conversations with his co-star Angelina and the couple quickly decided their four-year-old marriage was over.

A source told the paper: "Jennifer listened in on the conversation but I don't know if she accidentally picked up the other phone or deliberately did that.

Either way, she went ballistic. "When she confronted Brad about it, he wasn't going to take it any more. He realized it was the end of the line for marriage and he told Jennifer as much."

--If true, I'd say she justifiably went "ballistic."

Posted by: Norman at January 11, 2005 08:33 AM (sANa9)

2 Nope. I refuse to believe it. Big Bad Jennifer broke poor Brad's heart by refusing to have a baby. Luckily, he has me to console him...

Posted by: Christina at January 11, 2005 08:43 AM (IvlWt)

3 Which number do you want? Angelina's or Jennifer's? They both seem to have distinct advantages. :-) Personally, I've never cared much for Angelina Jolie. Jennifer Aniston is cute as a bug in a rug.

Posted by: Kevin the Interloper at January 11, 2005 09:09 AM (qb+8W)

4 Kevin, Kevin look at that photograph. Angelina is absolutely, positively stunning. And yes, Jennifer is cute as a bug in a rug.

Posted by: lynne at January 11, 2005 09:50 AM (psHtR)

5 Stunning or no, I think she's flaky. I can't deal with flaky people.

Posted by: Kevin the Interloper at January 11, 2005 10:04 AM (qb+8W)

6 Hmmm... Well... let's see. I agree they both have their advantages... BUT, Angelina does have a FREAKY past. Like making out with her brother... LOL (okay, maybe they overexaggerated that part) but she just seems a WEIRDO to me... If "I" was a guy... I'd pick Jennifer over Angelina anyday... because I'd rather marry someone who I know can make me laugh... LOL *just my 2 cents*

Posted by: La Bella at January 11, 2005 10:08 AM (Ae4B0)

7 La Bella makes my point. Jennifer Aniston has always seemed to have a more affable, fun personality (no, not just on Friends).

8 This is the ULTIMATE scenario of the girl you want to marry v. the girl you want for a few nights of fun. (and boy do i EVER re: both women) Yowzahs!

Posted by: Lawren at January 11, 2005 03:31 PM (sql83)

10 Well, I think most men would agree that those are few and far between (though I know they're out there). Besides, it's more fun to debate this scenario.

13 Well if i had to choose one I would choose Angelina..She just seems alot more adventurous,spontanious,care-free,intelligent,eccentric...Jennifer just seems really dull to me..Thats probably why Brad left her.That phone sex was probably amazing..

Columbia House, famous for its "12 CDs for a penny" record clubs, will launch its own adult video club with Playboy Entertainment at the end of this month.

The service, called Hush, will sell pornography through direct mail and a Web site.

Last June, Columbia House struck a quiet deal with Playboy to add about 150 of its more "tasteful" product line to the Columbia House DVD Club, and it has also been test marketing adult titles through its Canadian subsidiary. Litwak said very few club members have complained.

--As if there wasn't enough places for guys to buy porn. I'm so relieved it's only going to be the "tasteful" stuff. HA!

From acting to bricklaying:

Keira Knightley has revealed that she is looking into a career in bricklaying.

The 19-year-old, who is paid around £1.5 million per movie, thinks that the career change would be a "positive experience" should her film work dry up.

"Everyone laughs when I say I'm looking into bricklaying. But I decided if an apocalypse ever comes I'd like to be a skilled laborer and not be left behind at a campfire making gruel," she said.

"My friend's looking for a job and we found out you can get £15 to £30 an hour for bricklaying. I've found the courses and the moment I have some spare time I want to do it. I'm sure i can find a positive experience in laying bricks."

1 Harrison Ford went from carpenter to actor so why not the other way? At least Knightley realizes at this point in her career she is more hot body than actress so having a backup plan might be a good idea. Better plan than appearing in The Surreal Life.

Vince Neil, 43, Motley Crue's lead singer, married girlfriend Lia Gerardini, 37, Sunday at the Four Seasons hotel.

With MC Hammer officiating, the pair exchanged vows in front of a celebrity crowd that included Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Dennis Rodman and Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Motley Crue, the 1980s metal band known for their hard partying and wild sexcapades, recently reunited after a five-year hiatus. The rockin' couple's Clark County marriage license lists this as Neil's fourth marriage and Gerardini's second.

--Did anyone watch The Surreal Life? He and Hammer became really close on that show. It's cool he asked him to officiate.
