Recently, "Young Hollywood" has been in a bit of strife. It seems like everyone is in rehab, or dead, or naked on the web, or in a sex tape. Sure, that kind of stuff has always happened, but due to the rise of the internet news and digital cameras and so on, it is now easier (and more lucrative) to share juicy celebrity gossip.

Anyway, with the recent wave of celebrity scandal, I began to think about the people in the entertainment industry whom I admired, looked up to or identified with. I decided on a list of people whom I admired and created two photo galleries to share them. On gallery houses photos of the women that I admire, while the other gallery houses photos of the men that I admire.

So, I am writing this journal to accompany thoses galleries, in order to explain why I admire these people.

 

The Men

Johnny Depp:

I admire Johnny Depp because he cares deeply about what he does. He always endeavours to give a excellent performance. I think he genuinely cares about acting and performing, which I think is a rare quality is many of today's actors, who tend to gravitate towards projects that will fill their pockets. Not that Mr Depp is a poor, struggling actor, but I think that by being willing to do the hard work, Johnny has earned the respect of the entertainment industry, his peers and his fans.

 

The Men of My Chemical Romance:

Apart from being an absolutely maniacal fan of their music (and Bob Bryar, but thats entirely different...), I have a great deal of respect for both the band as a whole and the individuals within the band. Personally, I think that the various messages that MCR send to their fans (and their naysayers) are overwhelmingly positive and extremely uplifting. They have inspired me to be myself and that that is ok. They have taught me that I will make mistakes, but thats ok too, as long as I learn something from those mistakes. Most importantly, they taught me to really stand up for what I believe in, in when faced with people who don't like my way of thinking.

I also admire the individual members of the band. They all have interesting and inspiring stories to tell. If you are fan, you will know what I'm talking about.

 

Tim Burton:

The quote above is pretty much my life!

I admire Tim Burton because he is a creative genius. He has made a living being "dark" and exploring the mysterious inner corners of his mind. In these corners, he has found weird and wonderful things and he hasn't been afraid to share those things with the world (much like Matt Bellamy who should really be in this list, but due to some sort of brain malfunction I neglected him!). So, I admire Tim because he is unafraid of his deepest thoughts and, even more remarkably, he is unafraid of sharing those thoughts with the world.

 

Salvador Dali:

I was trying to restrict my list to people who were still alive, so as to focus on what they can also achieve in the future (don't worry, I have an extensive list of dead people that I love and admire!). But the great Salvador Dali is probably my biggest hero. I admire Dali for similar reasons that I admire Tim Burton: he let unleashed the craziness that was inside his head out into the world. No matter what he dreamed up, he set it free with little regard for what others thought. He was outrageous and bizarre, but it didn't stop him from doing what he loved and creating some of the most amazing pieces of artwork that the world will ever see.

 

The Women:

Christina Ricci:

Despite her open struggle with eating disorders, I think Christina Ricci has handled herself well. Too many child stars go on to lead lives that so often end in an unnecessarily early deaths. However, I think that Christina has dealt with her fame reasonalbly well and continued to work successfully as an actress.

 

Helena Bonham Carter:

Helena Bonham Carter is an amazing actress who is so incredibly UNafraid of how the world perceives her. He seems just as wild and bizarre in real life as she is in many of her films. I think it is great that a women in the entertainment industry can feel so comfortable being herself, particularly in current times when women are expected to look and behave a certain way. She too has inspired me to be unashamed of being myself.

 

Dita Von Teese:

First of all, if I were homosexually inclined... wow... Ah, moving on, I admire Dita Von Teese because she has made sex sexy. With the boom of the internet and the desensitisation of the modern youth (oh no, here we go...) hardcore sex/pornography is everywhere. And while some would argue that Dita has contributed to that, I would argue that she has made sex and sexuality more sensual and mysterious. As she has said herself, burlesque is about teasing: fantasy and what could be under the outfit. So, I think she has, in a way, given some sexual power women, as she shows that she can control what she takes off and what she leaves on.

 

Tanya "Misery" Thompson:

Most people wouldn't have a clue who Misery is. So I will tell you. She is a graffiti artist(don't worry! The good kind of graffiti artist who gets commissioned etc)/artist/clothing designer who lives in New Zealand (born in Australia though...). Her work is amazing. I admire her because she started out as a street artist, yet she has become a design icon, with her canvas art, her clothing, her jewellery and more. Yet, she still does some street art! Nothing thrills me more to drive around Auckland and spot a Misery artwork on a concrete wall.

Since there was no group for Smashing Pumpkins lovers like myself, I made one!

I know that lots of MCR/Green Day fans also like The Smashing Pumpkins, so thats why I posted it here! (I also have an Invader Zim group ( http://www.buzznet.com/groups/invaderzimfanclub/ )and a Johnny Knoxville group ( http://www.buzznet.com/groups/johnnyknoxville/ ) , if you want to join those too!)

So if you like The Smashing Pumpkins, please join!

Found this article on FoxNews.Com:

 

A radical Baptist church in Kansas known for picketing the funerals of soldiers who perished in Iraq said it intends to protest Heath Ledger's memorial service with signs claiming the actor died and is in Hell because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”

Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka said that she and other members will picket Ledger’s United States memorial services, not those held in his native Australia.

“You cannot live in defiance of God,” she said. “He got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it’s OK to be gay.”

A press release circulated by the church references Leviticus 18:22 in the Bible, which states that “thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

“Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there,” the Westboro Baptist announcement says.

Started 1955, the Topeka, Kan.-based church has conducted over 34,000 peaceful demonstrations opposing the homosexual lifestyle, according to their Web site, GodHatesFags.com.

The organization runs various Web sites, including GodHatesAmerica.com and others that condemn lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Muslims, Roman Catholics and Jews as well as certain nationalities, according to Wikipedia.

The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the church as a hate group and the organization is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, according to its Wikipedia entry.

Phelps-Roper said the church group will also be picketing the Academy Awards this year.

Both the printed release and Phelps-Roper’s verbal diatribe about Ledger were rife with homophobic slurs. She said that those who call her and other members of Westboro Baptist Church bigots must also think God is a bigot.

“God hates fags,” she said. “The wrath of God has been revealed before the eyes of this nation with the death of Heath Ledger. … This nation worships the dead almost as much as they worship their filthy sex acts. America is doomed.”

 

See previous journal for my veiws on this. I don't have the mental strength to rant again.

The tragic news that Heath Ledger, the Australian Oscar nominated actor, died in his SoHo apartment has been at the forefront of my mind for the past day or so. While not an avid fan of his work (he was the only good thing about "10 Things I Hate About You" and I have never seen "Brokeback Mountain" in full), I was saddened by his death. Another case of (yes, I know how cliche this is...) a young actor who died before his time and with so much promise. He has already been likened to James Dean in several articles and news items. And I don't disagree. Having eagerly been keeping an eye and ear out for "Batman" (or "The Dark Knight", as they call him now) news, I was extremely impressed with the glimpses of Heath Ledger as The Joker. The trailer alone sent chills down my spine. So I am in no doubt that Hollywood has lost a great talent who surely had so much more to offer. My heart goes out to his family (especially after the way that they heard of his death: on the radio) and his friends, and his beautiful young daughter.

 As an Atheist, I do believe that wherever he may be now, Heath Ledger will suffer no pain and will rest in peace. I respect that this tragedy effects his fans, his industry and most importantly his friends and family. The media, on the otherhand, will have (and are having) a field-day (although, to be fair, they aren't being the total jackasses I was expecting them to be). But, such is life. And evidently, death.

So why then, do I thank God that I am an Atheist? Atheists are often criticised for their beliefs/lack of beliefs, particularly in the event of death. Atheists also tend to be more uncomfortable and/or afraid of death as they are, unlike their religious counterparts, not expecting a welcome reception in Heaven. Well, this is what sociological and psychological research has told us, but I beg to differ. 

But on this day (and all those days before it, and everyday after it), I am proud to be an Atheist.

Apparently, Westboro Baptist Chruch (yes, the crazy motherfuckers who have previously picketed the funerals of American soldiers killed at war) plans to picket Heath Ledger's funeral because of his portrayal of a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain".

Here is a link to a flyer from the church, posted by all15minutefame:

http://all15minutefame.buzznet.com/user/journal/1706671/just-as-i-suspected-religious-psychos-picketing/#comment39751791

 

The man is dead. His family is grieving. His daughter will grow up without a father.

We all have a right to free speech. You can believe what you want to believe. But, you CANNOT infringe on the rights of others. You CANNOT tell others that what you believe is right. You SHOULD NOT disrespect a mourning family. You SHOULD NOT disrespect a fallen soldier, whether he died in his apartment or on a battlefield on foreign soil.

It is disgusting. It is immoral. It is wrong.

So that is why I thank God that I am an Atheist. I would never persecute anyone for their sexual orientation, race, sex, or acting roles and I am extremely tolerant of the diversity of human beings. However, today I find myself intolerant of religion.

R.I.P Heath Ledger, fallen soldiers and everyone else who ever dies, no matter who are and what did in this life.

 

Since season 4 of House MD (my favourite tv show EVER!) has not started in little old New Zealand yet, and my dvd player broke so I can't watch seasons 1, 2 and 3 to give me a House fix, I thought I would post some House quotes!

All are from the Fox website, which is a great site for all things House!

Here's a ongoing list of Dr. House's most memorable quips from Season 1:

"Foreman, how are you fixed for cash? Steal any cars lately?"
- Sports Medicine

Lola:"Even if real human contact is something you don't have, or even want, or need, you should at least be able to see it in other people.

This is my first (and only!) FanFic! I don’t even know if it qualifies as a FanFic because I don’t read them (they’re just not my thing), but anyway...

I was inspired by the snippets of the “The Making of ‘Teenagers’” that have been posted recently (haven’t had it in NZ yet! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!). The inspiration is, of course, the one, the only Bob Bryar, and his battle with a buzzing fiend...

 

 

Bob and the Battle of the Bee

 

                Bob Bryar and his rock band of merry musicians, also known as My Chemical Romance, were making a music video for their latest single ‘Teenagers’, from their hit album ‘The Black Parade’. 

The video shoot was going well. The whole band was on fire! Gerard was singing. Frank and Ray were guitar-ing. Mikey was bass-ing. Bob was drumming. Cheerleaders were cheerleading. The video crew were... doing whatever a video crew does...  Thus, the video was coming together nicely.

However, things were about to turn ugly...

Bob was sitting on his drum stool near the back of the stage. There was a break in shooting so that Frank could get a touch-up of his make-up. Suddenly, Bob heard a quiet but irritating buzzing noise. “Mikey! Stop putting that fork in that toaster!” yelled Bob. “Sorry” whimpered Mikey. Frank was done with make-up, so shooting began again.

After an hour or song of playing ‘Teenagers’ over and over again, an army of hair-stylists demanded that shooting be paused so that Ray’s hair could be teased and moussed. As Bob took advantage of the break to relax, he once again, heard a buzzing noise. He glanced over at Mikey, but Mikey was discussing the finer points of light sabre battle techniques, not unlike those seen in the Star Wars movies. “Where is that buzzing noise coming from?” Bob wondered out loud. Then, out of nowhere, a large, vicious-looking bee was flying straight towards him!

This was a job for...

SUPER BOB!

Bob leaped out from behind his drum kit and ran to the nearest bathroom. Once locked inside a toilet stall, Bob ripped off this dark clothing, revealing a Ninja-Turtle-green superhero suit made from the same material as bike shorts to ensure an extra-tight, figure-hugging appearance. He then slipped into his Super Slippers and burst out of the toilet stall, startling My Chemical Romance manager Brian Schefter, causing him to miss the urinal completely. But there was no time for Super Bob to point and laugh. He had a job to do...

Bob ran back to the set of the video (using his super-speed of course) and found the bee waiting for him, hovering over his kick-drum.  “This is war...” he said in a deep, serious voice that almost made him giggle. He withdrew his Drum Sticks of Doom and began swiping at the hideous flying insect. But the bee was proving to be quite a powerful opponent for Super Bob. He needed backup. “Hey Sarge! Come help me fight this bee!” he called out to his faithful sidekick Sarge (who was, in actual fact, security expert Worm dressed as a puppy). But Sarge was too busy trying to calm down the cheerleaders, who were hysterically afraid of the murderous hovering bee. So Super Bob was on his own...

Suddenly, Super Bob remembered his Secret Energy Drink supply that he kept inside one of his drums (I certainly cannot tell you which one. It is a secret). He grabbed a can and gulped down its contents as fast as he could.

Now he had the strength of a thousand drummers! He beat the evil bee down with a single swipe of his Drum Sticks of Doom! The bee fell to the floor and after a few pathetic buzzes, the bee died.

Pleased with his work, he picked up a broom and swept the bee away. Once again, Super Bob had saved the day and cleaned up after himself.

Super Bob ran back to the bathroom and put his normal clothes back on. He re-entered the set to find the room in quite a commotion. Everyone was talking excitedly about a mysterious superhero in a skin-tight Ninja-Turtle green suit.

“What happened?” Bob asked Ray.

Ray replied, “Oh man! You will never believe what just happened...”

But something tells me, Bob will believe it.

 

I have recently started a Johnny Knoxville group called "Johnny Knoxville Lovers Society"!

If you like/love Mr Knoxville, join my group!

I GOT MY TICKETS ONLINE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm from New Zealand and I'm 20 years old. I'm at uni doing a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in psychology. Go me!

I took my screen name from an Invader Zim episode. I LOVE Invader Zim. "There is a pidegon on your head. You have headpidegons." HA HA HA! Crazy!

I'm a HUGE Green Day and My Chemical Romance fan. But, living in NZ neither of those bands come down here often. Green Day came here in 2005 and seeing them live was the greatest experience of my life! They kicked butt! Then, at the begining of this year, MCR played the Big Day Out in Auckland! I was sooooooooo excited but soooooooo pissed that they would only being playing for 50 minutes. Then, we then started playing, the sound system kept crapping out and so we couldn't hear bits of songs! That sucked big time, but they were soooooooo awesome despite the bad sound! That Big Day Out was the second greatest day of my life, coz The Killers, Mus and Tool were there, as well as The Rabble, which are an awesome NZ punk band.

So, basically, I'm a music nerd. Being a nerd is good.

Anyway, that's all from me. Feel free to add me as a friend if your into Green Day, MCR and any other band/movie/book that I'm into, or if you too are a music nerd, or for any other reason you might want to add me! I don't care!

Love,

foolishxearthxcreature.
