| What should the next Rocky movie be about? | | Posted Friday, January 05, 2007 2:47:30 PM by Blog57 Team | | We find Rocky, a window, living in an old folks home for boxers. Included in the home are Joe Fraser, George Foreman, Mohammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Leon Spinks and Mr. T. They finally put an end to who is the best boxer of all time. They stage their own world old timers boxing championship. Many die during the training, some suffer heart attacks but Rocky preserves with the “Eye of the Tiger" theme running through his mind. The Ghost of Apollo Creed, Adrien and Mickey guide Rocky to his final victory. This tear jerker will make you cry (for your own personal reasons). — Dave Watson Scene one: Rocky, the oldest heavywiegth champion, is out for an early morning walk and is kidnapped by a dozen crazed terrorists. Rocky is brought to the mountains of Afganistan to fight the Afghan giant "Kushmonster." The U.S.... | |

| | | DVD Review: Baywatch - Seasons One and Two | | Posted Sunday, December 17, 2006 12:47:56 PM by Blog57 Team | | Baywatch is nothing without two very important ingredients — the music and the women. Of course the hit syndicated series was originally supposed to be an extension of David Hassellhoff's (aka The Hoff) "career", but he barely has any presence and acts like he's amazed he's been handed a script. So long as the music and the women exist on the DVD releases, fans should have no problems. In saying that, what the hell happened to the music and the theme song from the syndicated years? Apparently the love for this show is so strong that the companies that made these two packages figure the fans won't care one bit. Considering the franchise has such a big following, I would think a fan especially would care about the exclusion of the music — especially the theme song.... | |

| | | Revealed: the children as young as five years old suffering from eating disorders | | Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 6:49:09 AM by Blog57 Team | | HUNDREDS of children under the age of 13 in the UK are being diagnosed with eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. The first survey of pre-teen eating disorders has revealed that doctors reported 175 cases of children with the conditions during the course of just more than a year. Nearly half of those children were admitted to hospital, with many having to be fed through a nasal tube or treated with drugs to aid their recovery. In one case, a child with an eating disorder died due to kidney failure. While the average age of sufferers was around 11, the youngest case identified in the survey was a boy only five years old. The number of people suffering from an eating disorder has increased dramatically over the past two decades, with an estimated 1.1 million people in the UK now suffering from conditions such as anorexia or bulimia.... | |

| | | Bosoms up! | | Posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 12:49:26 PM by Blog57 Team | | LIKE many women, Hollywood celebrities, runway supermodels, and crowned royalties only want the best for them and their children. So when it was time to feed their newborns, most of them breastfed. Hollywood A-listers like Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Jane Seymour, Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna, and Uma Thurman have all balanced career and life to give time to breastfeed their children. Young moms like Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, and Jennifer Garner have also done the same. Even supermodels turned supermoms like Jerry Hall, Christie Brinkley, Cindy Crawford, and Elle McPherson breastfed their kids. Catherine Zeta-Jones spoke about breastfeeding her first child with Michael Douglas when she was interviewed by OK! Magazine.... | |

| | | '50s-era magazines fascinate | | Posted Monday, October 09, 2006 12:47:01 PM by Blog57 Team | | It's a sign of progress that when a Forbes editor wrote a smug and purposely insulting column a couple of months back about "career women" making bad wives, the predictable storm he stirred up blew itself out in a few days. It's a wonder that anybody even bothered snapping at the bait at all, unless from an obligatory sense of having to safeguard the social changes that have ostensibly given women more options about how to live their lives. I harbor a secret fascination, though, with the dark old days, when the idea of a feminist revolution was still in its gestational stages and June Cleaver wore a Dior dress to run the vacuum cleaner. It's a little embarrassing to admit, since conventional wisdom holds that this was a cruel era of patriarchal oppression, but I am absolutely riveted by old housewife magazines from the 1950s.... | |

| | | Academics to study attitudes to models' sizes | | Posted Friday, October 06, 2006 2:47:12 PM by Blog57 Team | | Glowing skin, a smaller waist size than most teenagers and legs that go forever. Most supermodels may fit this description, but researchers from Cambridge University are to investigate whether the average woman really does want to model herself on Kate Moss. The Judge business school at Cambridge has been awarded a $50,000 (£26,000) grant from the Ogilvy Foundation to support a three-year research project called Why reflect reality? The effectiveness of "ideally attractive" models versus "reality reflecting" models in fashion and beauty advertising. Ben Barry and Simon Bell will look at whether consumers want a new style of model - one that is not necessarily a child-like beauty, with long legs and tiny hips. Dr Bell said: "There is mounting critique in academic and popular press about the use of models in advertising that reflect a singular ideal of beauty - thin, tall and young - which is dramatically different from the average female consumer.... | |

| | | Model Urged To Step Down As Face Of De Beers | | Posted Monday, October 02, 2006 2:46:41 PM by Blog57 Team | | In the same week that the Kalahari Bushmen of Botswana have made a desperate appeal for help to Leonardo DiCaprio, who stars in the forthcoming film 'The Blood Diamond', by placing a full-page advert in Variety magazine, Survival International, on behalf of the Bushmen, has urged supermodel Linda Evangelista to step down as the new face of De Beers, and Mohamed Al Fayed not to allow De Beers to open a concession in Harrods. The dispute centers around Botswana, where the government has brutally evicted the Gana and Gwi Bushmen from their land in the Central Kalahari, and where De Beers is exploring for diamonds. Since being moved to relocation camps many of the Bushmen have died, and many are suffering from alcoholism, TB, and HIV / AIDS. The Bushmen have called for a boycott of De Beers and Botswana diamonds until they are allowed back on their land.... | |

| | | Pregnant models: Bellies in big demand | | Posted Thursday, September 28, 2006 2:46:51 PM by Blog57 Team | | Under the glare of bright lights and with the cameras flashing, fashion model Keisha Omilana is tossing her head back and arching her swimsuit-clad body. It's not just her megawatt smile and cool confidence that have the clients calling — but rather her blooming bump of a belly. The 24-year-old New Yorker is expecting her first child. "It used to be if you were pregnant, then you would disappear and tell everyone you were in Europe or something," says Omilana, who has worked for Kenneth Cole, Pantene and L'Oreal. "But with Kate Moss, Heidi Klum and all the top supermodels having babies, things have changed. They're still sexy, beautiful and working. And I'm still working too." Indeed, the demand for pregnant bellies has never been greater in the fashion industry.... | |

| | | Parker: Click salon owners can expect hairy time at 5 designer ... | | Posted Friday, September 15, 2006 12:48:18 PM by Blog57 Team | | Click salon owner Charlie Price is getting ready for the diva dance. When he flies to New York tonight for a weeklong hair affair during Spring 2007 Fashion Week, Price will tote a large suitcase stuffed with hair products, blow dryers and hair extensions to tame and tease models' tresses for five designer shows, beginning Friday. Price and Click co-owners Joy Dyk, Cameron Letterman and Kelly Anolin will work their mousse magic for fashion shows by Sabyasachi, Charlotte Ronson, Jason Wu, Manuel and Jay McCarroll. "When you do a show you have to be there three hours before," Price said during a break from styling a mannequin's wig in his Cherry Creek salon before e-mailing pictures to a designer. "The first hour and a half are really boring because only a few of the models are there.... | |

| | | What do you have to do to end up inside? | | Posted Friday, September 08, 2006 8:48:34 PM by Blog57 Team | | So Pete Doherty has been spared jail for the umpteenth time, despite being found with enough drugs on him to kill an elephant. Furthermore, he was found with them only a matter of hours after being sentenced to a community order for another drug offence. You may wonder what you have to do nowadays to land yourself in prison – be a granny who refuses to pay her council tax, perhaps – but then this is Pete Doherty we are talking about, who seems to have as many lives as a cat. And so it is that, instead of jail, he got a trip to the Priory, which in my book is not a punishment but a reward (I remember, as a child, we used to drive past it on the way back from Chessington World of Adventures, and my mother, frazzled by her wayward offspring, would sigh that she'd "simply love a week in there".) .... | |
