Governor Schwarzenegger Cutting Funding To Domestic Violence Shelters

First he tried to cut all the funding for Poison Control and now Governor Schwarzenegger is trying to cut out all the funding for domestic violence shelters. This man is going after programs that actually save the lives of people, and must be stopped. Go here, NOW!!!, to see what you can do to help before some woman dies because she has nowhere to go.

Governor Schwarzenegger line item vetoed the Department of Public Health’s Domestic Violence Program, which provides $20.4 million for 94 domestic violence shelters and centers.

Domestic violence shelters are often the only thing standing between victims and grave physical danger, and California’s communities cannot sustain their loss.

Services provided by these agencies include emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal advocacy, assistance with restraining orders, counseling and other vital support services.

“We are appalled to see the Governor eliminate funding to vital programs that save lives,” said Tara Shabazz, Executive Director of The California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV). “State funding to domestic violence programs has been proven to save lives, and also millions of dollars in health care, law enforcement and other social costs. It is fiscally irresponsible to propose such cuts; the Governor is balancing the budget on the backs of our state’s most vulnerable citizens.”

“If the Governor’s budget cuts are allowed to stand, victims will not have a place to turn for help and lives will inevitably be lost.”

I blame this on all of my fellow citizens of California who voted for this idiot because he was the Terminator (and haven't voted since). This should serve as a warning to keep celebrities out of politics.

Sir Bobby Robson Passed Away

Sir Bobby Robson had died due to years long of battle against cancer at the age of 76. A statement issued on behalf on his family read: "It is with great sadness that it has been announced that Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.



"He died very peacefully at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him. A thanksgiving service in celebration of Bobby's life will be held at a later date for his many friends and colleagues."

News of Robson's death led to a flood of tributes from within the game and further afield. Prime Minister, Gordon Brown said, "Over the past few years, he fought cancer with his characteristic tenacity and good humour. He will be sorely missed not only in Newcastle and Ipswich, both of whom he served with such devotion, but by all sports fans in our country. My sincere condolences go to his wife Elsie and his family."

Michael Moore movie to compete at Venice

Moore's other films include Sicko and Bowling for Columbine
Capitalism, the latest documentary from Fahrenheit 9/11 director Michael Moore, features in the official competition at this year's Venice Film Festival.

The film, in which Moore looks at the global economic meltdown, is one of 23 titles up for the Golden Lion award.

Others include Werner Herzog's remake of The Bad Lieutenant, starring Nicolas Cage, and Survival of the Dead, George A Romero's latest zombie thriller.

The 66th Venice International Film Festival runs from 2 to 12 September.

This year's event will see John Lasseter and his fellow Pixar directors receive a special award for their animated features.

Toy Story 3D will screen out of competition at the festival, as will a new 3D version of Toy Story 2.

Iconoclastic

US fashion designer Tom Ford also features in the competition line-up with his directorial debut, A Single Man.

Colin Firth and Julianne Moore appear in the film, alongside Nicholas Hoult from TV show Skins.

Also up for the Golden Lion is The Road, an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic bestseller starring Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron.

George Clooney is a regular visitor to the world's oldest film festival
No British films are in contention this year, though Liverpool-born director Alex Cox does feature in the Orrizonti sidebar section.

The iconoclastic filmmaker will be premiering Repo Chick, a sequel to his 1984 cult classic Repo Man.

George Clooney, star of last year's opening film Burn After Reading, is back this year in The Men Who Stare at Goats.

Directed by regular collaborator Grant Heslov, the satirical drama will screen out of competition.

Venice is the world's oldest film festival, having been founded in 1932 in the Mussolini era.

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee will chair this year's jury, which will also feature US filmmaker Joe Dante and French actress Sandrine Bonnaire.

First Duggar Grandchild Is A Girl

Update : Josh has told PEOPLE that the little girl due 20 October will be called Mackynzie Renée. Haven't these people ever heard of keeping something a surprise.

Josh and Anna Duggar will have a baby girl. Unable to keep any news to themselves, the sex of the baby was revealed on the Today Show.

Luckily for the planet, it looks like Josh and Anna want a normal size family. Josh told Meredith Vieira,“We’d be happy with two or three; I think children are a blessing, though. So we’re just thankful for the one that God has given us, and we’ll take ’em one at a time.”

Would You Want A Baby That Looked Like Jon Gosselin

Well, how about Jim Carrey, Bill Gates, Joey Fatone, DJ AM, or Conan O'Brien. Because California Cryobank(One of the most reputable companies by the way.) is offering their Donor Look-A-Likes program. The same team that matches photos of your partner to photos of the donors has applied their talents to matching the donors to photos of celebrities. Some of the celebs are obscure and some just plain ugly, but you too can have a baby that looks like your favorite celebrity. The cryobank isn't offering a Brad Pitt look-a-like or a Gabriel Aubrey. If they had a Gabriel look-a-like I would be first in line. They do have Joe Jonas, Jude Law, Heath Ledger, and Daniel Radcliffe.

It was just a matter of time before some cryobank offered this service. But what do you do when your choice is no longer on the A-list? Do you really want a baby that reminds you of some D-list bottom feeder.

Who Has Jude Law Knocked Up?

Jude Law, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost, has discovered he's expecting a fourth child with an unidentified former lover.

"Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year," the actor's rep says in a statement. "Mr. Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child's life. This is an entirely private matter and no other statements will be made."

Law, 36, next will appear in Hamlet on Broadway in October, and will star with Robert Downey Jr. in the film Sherlock Holmes opening on Christmas Day.

Why release a statement if he wants to keep it private? The statement is what is going to bring attention to the mother. Look at how the press hunted down Sarah Jessica Parker's surrogate. And the British press makes the American paparazzi seem like angels, Jude did the one thing that ensures that this will not be a private matter.

The Jolie-Pitts At ToysRUs

Angelina Jolie took daughters, Zahara and Shiloh to ToysRUs. For all of their traveling and celebrity, they seem to be raising the kids kind of normal. They are allowed plastic toys and junk food. They seem to be skipping a lot of the middle and upper class pretension.

More pictures below.

Manchester United New Away Kit 09/10

Manchester United had just released a new Away Kit just within a month before the new 09/10 Barclays Premier League kick-off !! Well, it is of similar blueprint of the Home Kit "V" chested jersey. This time its a full black base and the "V" shaped is blue in color and of course the Manchester United badge on the left and Nike Swoosh logo on the right. I think it does look elegant on the players and the fans themselves.

The exact same one like the red kit.

So, do place your orders for the new kit and the launch day is on 13th August 2009. I think it's worth getting both Home and Away Kits if you dont own any of those. I hope they are using this new kit for the ongoing Audi Cup 2009.

It does look great on Manchester United players and Blue and Black are my favourite colors !!

Taylor Momsen's Recipe For Disaster

Every week, teenagers around the country tune in to Gossip Girl to see Taylor Momsen play Jenny Humphrey – a high school rebel with requisite teen angst. But just to be clear: Momsen says she's hardly a typical 16-year-old in real life.

"I live a very adult life," the high school graduate (she got her diploma two years early!) tells Teen Vogue in the September issue, hitting stands August 4. "What am I going to do, hang out with high school kids? I just can't relate to what they talk about – it seems so petty."

And that includes high school boys. Momsen, who claims to have been in "lots of relationships," admits that she could never date someone her own age. "Boys are so much less mature than girls as it is," she explains. "I would eat a boy my age alive."


Instead, Momsen is eschewing the idea of a traditional college education, opting instead to take a few classes online, sing in her band, Pretty Reckless, and act, of course.

"I'm an artist; I'm not going to use trigonometry," she says matter-of-factly. "For most people college is a place where you learn about yourself, and I feel like I'm doing that already. I'm already independent."

But what about college friends? "I have such trust complexes," Momsen confesses. "I'm close to like, two people."

Still, all her insecurities seem to fade away when she steps in front of a crowd to sing her music. Having spent most of her life in front of a camera (Momsen began modeling at age 2), she's used to the spotlight, and doesn't mind if her Gossip Girl fans don't understand her rock star persona or her new look.

"I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl,' " she says, adding that she modeled her new 'do on a Joan Jett photo. "I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn't me that changed – it was just that I decided to start being myself."

Taylor Momsen is a little too grown for my tastes. Somebody should tell her that it is illegal for 16year-old girls to date men, no matter how mature they are. Her only real success is Gossip Girl, what is she going to have when it is gone?

The wildly successful Dakota Fanning has work and she still manages to relate to kids her own age. She's even a cheerleader. And even with her good girl image she was cast in The Runaways. I wonder if Taylor was even considered for a role. I bet producers guessed that there wasn't really anything behind the "rock star persona."

Problem With Bugaboo Takata

The Bugaboo Takata hasn't been released in the United States yet, but there have already been troubling problems reported in Europe. It seems that Takata (And Bugaboo is placing the blame squarely on Takata. They keep calling it the "Bugaboo car seat developed by Takata.) didn't correctly attach all of the handles to the car seat shells. So when the car seat is being carried by the handle they can detach. Also the car seat doesn't always attach properly to the stroller adapters. These are problems you would expect from a cheap car seat. Bugaboo is saying that they have had only three reported cases of the problem though, so it may just be a quality control problem.

Bugaboo has directions on how to check for the manufacturing defect on their European websites. If you car seat is affected stop using the car seat and return it to where you purchased it.

Bugaboo has been having a lot of problems with their products lately. There was a recall for the Bee and reported problems with the the Cameleon's handles.

Talk About Spoiled

I thought my 16year-old was spoiled because he has a larger tv in his room than I have (a hand me down from great-grandma), but now I see that he has nothing on this brat. A mother had a 98inch television flush mounted into her teen-age son's ceiling. Patti Deni says that her son spends a lot of time making and watching his own videos. And since most ceilings aren't made to hold to 300lb televisions, they had to build a new reinforced ceiling before they installed the screen, video projector, and projection mirrors.

You know the kid is just watching porn on this thing. And can you actually watch the tv anywhere in the room besides the bed (If you can it must be uncomfortable, imagine the crook in the neck.). I wonder how much weight he has gained since the television was installed.

Yasmin Ahmad's Talentime OST - Pergi

Talentime is going to be the last movie by Yasmin Ahmad. Its very sad but thats the fact. She has left us for her creator, The Almighty God, Allah. I really felt sad that I couldn't find spare time to watch her last few movies namely, Mukhsin, Mualaf and Talentime. Last night, heard this song and watched the video clips of it from 8TV and Youtube. The title is Pergi, sang by Aizat. Seriously, if you really listen to it or just by reading the lyrics itself, the song can really put you to tears especially during these few sad days of her passing.

Here's the video and lyrics of the Talentime OST - Pergi by Aizat



Sayu terpisah

hikayat indah kini hanya tinggal sejarah
berhembus angin rindu

begitu nyamannya terhidu wangian kasihmu
hujan lebat mencurah kini
bagaikan tiada henti
kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
tak lagi kudengari
kau pergi.. pergi..
sepi tanpa kata
terdiam dan kaku tak daya kau kulupa
apa pun kata mereka
biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia

AL-FATIHAH AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, YASMIN AHMAD (1958-2009)

OK.. that's too much information (whaha..)
let's start it!!

Indonesian Hottest Fashion style 2009

Indonesia is a fascinating country, that's in my opinion. i dont know about you. but it doesn't matter, ya' know.. anyway, in Indonesia there are a lot of designers too, they are Adjie Notonegoro, Ivan Gunawan, Deden Siswanto, Barli Asmara, Ronald V. Gaghana, atc. And their creations are totally cool and cute!! not that i promoting Indonesian designers.. i just wanted to share the information about my country too.. just like our motto, "we share everything..."


Indonesia is well known with it's batik. Batik is Indonesian Produced. Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta, has special meanings which is rooted to the Javanese idea of the universe. Traditional colours include indigo, dark brown, and white. Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns which normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as flowers, animals or people. Batik or fabrics with the traditional batik patterns similar to the Indonesian batik are also found in several countries such as West Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Uganda and Mali, the Caribbean, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint Lucia, and in Asia, such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Iran, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Burma.


This is the outfit : (i usually call it "Kebaya")

Couture - A Fashion Show by Adjie Notonegoro: Batik

as a springboard to the biggest and grandest Indonesian Food Promotion in town, the Indonesian Embassy brings to Manila – Adjie Notonegoro, the famous Indonesian designer to A-list luminaries and celebrities namely former US president Bill Clinton, one-time United Nations' secretary-general Kofi Anan, the Sultan of Brunei and his family, and Pop Stars Mariah Carey and Kylie Minogue.



Indonesian supermodels are also especially flown in to set the catwalk ablaze while donning the latest collection of Adjie Notonegoro’s haute couture featuring batik, kebaya and gowns in a dazzling one-night only and exclusive fashion show.

Manchester United Ends Asia Tour 2009 with A Big Win !!

Manchester United's Michael Owen scored twice and Ryan Giggs slotted home a second-half hat-trick as Manchester United ended their Asia Tour by hammering Hangzhou Greentown,8-2.It was maybe not the strenuous test Sir Alex Ferguson would have wanted but, in maintaining a 100% record in four games so far, at least United are heading towards their quest to land an unprecedented fourth consecutive league title in confident mood.

No-one, least of all Ferguson, will draw too many conclusions from this tour. Nevertheless, as he boarded an overnight flight to Munich, where United will compete in the Audi Cup on Wednesday and Thursday, Ferguson must have been quietly satisfied with what has been achieved over the past 10 days.

In a more competitive environment an inquest would have been held into the failure of the far side assistant to raise an offside flag given Owen was never actually on-side from the moment Nani collected possession to the time United's new striker swept his team in front. His second was a gem though, Owen taking Dimitar Berbatov's pass on his chest before volleying home.
After the Bulgarian had added number two, Tosic - who had limited chance to impress after joining from Partizan Belgrade - fired home a neat third with a rising drive better keepers than Jiang Bo would have struggled to keep out.

The second half was a procession, with Nani producing a trademark back-flip in celebration at his effort before Giggs scored twice in seven minutes, adding another near the end for good measure, although Greentown did manage a couple of consolation through Wang Hong You.

THANK YOU MANCHESTER UNITED FOR COMING TO ASIA !! HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR !!

The "Hot" Fashion Style This Season (2009)

Hey you guys, it's me Veren:)
i'm the 2nd editor of this blog, and i'm in charge for the fashion section. enjoy!

now, i'll tell ya' some Fashion tips about what's hot in this season. Let's just begin!


What's HOT :
Fall 2009,European region.

last week, i got a sneek peek from the house of holland london's top collections, fall 2009.

House of Holland, fall 2009,





Donatella Versace’s new collection definitely made its mark on the runway for the Fall 2009 shows.




Versace incorporated shocking hot pinks, fiery reds, and flashing oranges among her stunning and classic black, metallic, and gray pieces. While full neon dresses and gowns are normally considered ’80’s, Versace cleverly omitted jewelry and embellishments – leaving a clean and modern piece that cannot be mistaken as a vintage dress someone pulled out of their closet. The thin models graced the runway with fierce dark eye makeup and slicked back hair. it's really suitable with fall colour..

Nanette Lepore - Fall 2009 Fashion Week





Nanette Lepore is known for creating ultrafeminine pieces and her Fall 2009 collection was no different. The designer told media sources that she was inspired by “opulent women who mix and match pieces, travels a lot, collects and keeps clothes and mixes something fabulous with something old and vintage.” In her runway show, it was obvious to see the touches of vintage influences in the fabrics, silhouettes and color choices. But Lepore managed to put a modern glamorous spin on it all.


and.... for the accessories... i'm gonna show you the hottest shoes, bags, necklace, etc. for this season,


Alexander Wang Hilary Shopper in Black : alexander wang black hilary bag



Leather with fabric lining Made in USA Measures approx 23"W x 17"H x 3.5"D Double straps measure approx 17" with 10" drop Plastic rivet accents allover Zip interior pocket.

and for the necklace are the design by high priestess, what a really awesome necklace! you'll see 'em...



Designer fashion jewelry for Fall 2009 has a lot of textile elements so much so that i’m sure their already inflated price tags are especially exorbitant for a bunch of braided cloth and died feathers. I’ll admit, though, the feathers are cute for the fall colour, right?

now.. for the shoes, it's Pierre Hardy's creation! whoaaa.. Fur and Napa Boot Pierre Hardy, Suede Open-Toe Pump with Lurex Ribbons, Watersnake Sandal with Patent Leather Trim, soo cute!!

Pierre Hardy Fall’09
Styles from Pierre Hardy’s 2009 Fall Collection.



Fur and Napa Boot,


Watersnake Sandal with Patent Leather Trim


Suede Open-Toe Pump with Lurex Ribbons

ok.. the last accessories are EARINGS!! whew, finnaly..

Red Garnet and Gold Ring Earrings,



This piece is warm and serene. A vermeil satin finish gold ring is shaped like a crescent on one side and skinny and dainty on the other. Assymetrically perfect.
A blood red faceted garnet briolette measuring about 9-10mm dangles beneath.


well, that's it.
ok then, i'm sorry guys, i'm running out of time, i.. i mean, my hands are exhausted.. haha :D

oh yeah,maybe if you'd like to send me some critic advices about my post and our blog, you can just email me. all right! this is my email : do.yougotnerve@hotmail.com, or verenisdelicious@hotmail.com

Yasmin Ahmad's Best Petronas Ads To Date

I'm still grieving and sad over the fact that Yasmin Ahmad passed away at an age just barely over a half century. She was widely recognized in Malaysia and internationally well known too. Her movies,mostly controversial and daring (Gubra and Sepet) plus the advertisements on TV especially the Petronas ads that were artistically done.

To acknowledged her with this post, I've chosen 2 really heart touching Petronas ads shown on TV during Chinese New Year and Raya,both of year 2006.





The motive of those are mainly to instill moral values into the hearts of people as we can practically assumed that good values are slowly slacking off from us in the ever changing nature of life.

YOUNG PEOPLE OUT THERE, PLEASE DONT ABANDON YOUR PARENTS AS THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BRING YOU INTO THIS WORLD. REMEMBER THAT !!

Film and Art Director Yasmin Ahmad Passed Away

Malaysia has just lost a renowned film and advertising director,Yasmin Ahmad. She passed away at about 11.25 pm last night(Saturday,25th July). Her death was confirmed by Media Prime Group Chief Operations Officer Datuk Seri Ahmad Farid Ridzuan, who was at the Damansara Specialist Hospital, when contacted by Bernama. She was reported to have suffered a stroke and brain haemorrhage.

Yasmin Ahmad, 51, collapsed while presenting a working paper at Sri Pentas, the headquarters of the private television station TV3 on Thursday and was rushed to the Damansara Specialists Hospital.

I used to be a fan of hers, I mean its like everyone who watches all her Petronas advertisement and movies like Sepet, Gubra, and Mukhsin definitely fell in love at first sight with her well written scripts and heart-touching scenes.


Yasmin’s road to success began with her work as an advertising copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather. Over time, she advanced to become creative director with Leo Burnett, Kuala Lumpur.

Fame followed when she took up filmmaking, with her movies having won widespread acclaim, including many international awards, and her works have been shown at prestigious film festivals in Cannes, San Francisco, Berlin and Singapore.Yasmin was inducted into the Malaysian Advertising Hall of Fame by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia last November.

WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND YOUR ARTISTIC WORK, R.I.P YASMIN AHMAD. MALAYSIA LOVES YOU !!
