Ben Barnes Back In Dorian Gray June 18, 2009

Posted by Helen in : Movies , 4comments

Good news ladies it won’t be long until the lovely Ben Barnes will be gracing the big screen again with his new movie Dorian Gray.

Based on the classic novel by Oscar Wilde, Dorian Gray tells the story of a strikingly beautiful young man named Dorian (Ben Barnes). He arrives in Victorian London and is swept into a social whirlwind by the charismatic Henry Wotton (Colin Firth), who introduces Dorian to the hedonistic pleasures of the city.

When a portrait of Dorian is unveiled, such is its beauty that he makes a pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul.

Dorian Gray examines the destructive power of beauty, the blind pursuit of pleasure and the darkness that can result.

Take a look at the first poster for the film:

Dorian Gray is in cinemas 11th September.

Big Brother 2009 – Sree – Creepy or Sweetie? June 18, 2009

Sree seems to be causing a lot of tension in the Big Brother house at the moment, and I mean come on, Big Brother 2009 hasn’t been as wild as some of the other ones, so this year everyone’s talking about the lovesick foreign housemate.

To be honest, I’ve been sick and tired of watching Sree’s cringe worthy advances onto fellow housemate Noirin and I wish she’d just tell him to get lost because he doesn’t have a cat in hell’s chance of pulling her… but what do you think.

Okay, so if I was in the house I’d probably want to have smacked him by now, and I’d do anything to avoid speaking to him as the things he come out with make me want to bang my head against the wall, but could it just be the way things are edited?

Watching the show last night, I was horrified at the way Marcus was speaking to him, and as much as Sree has been getting on my nerves, I can’t help but think Marcus and his little posse were bulling him, especially during the rehearsals for the task, where Marcus was constantly nit-picking over Sree’s dancing skills.

I know from experience that it can be annoying when someone doesn’t work well in a group, but the way that marcus was speaking to him last night I found completely sickening, and if I had been in Sree’s position I would have broken down in tears.

What was worst was when he was getting ready for bed and Cairon told him that he would only ever pull a; “Deaf or blind girl.” now, although that amused him and Siavash, I think it was one of the most insulting things I have ever heard on that show, and an unforgivable insult.

If Big Brother throws people out for racism, why don’t they do something about these housemates poking fun at Deaf and Blind people, like they don’t deserve a ‘good’ man and would have to settle for someone like Sree… not that Sree doesn’t deserve a lover, but in Cairon’s eyes, he clearly thinks people with disabilities should only be with (what he see’s as) second rate citizens.

So, tell me what you think, Sree is annoying yes, but are Marcus, Cairon and Siavash taking it way too far and just being bullies?

Ruth’s Thursday Fumble June 18, 2009

Oh dear, it looks as though Miley Cyrus has found herself at the centre of another naughty photo scandal, after snaps of her giving oral sex have appeared on the internet. Could she be a new sex symbol? Like father, like daughter…

Does anyone remember Victoria Beckham singing sweetly as Posh Spice? Who would have thought that we’d be more interested in her boobs than her vocal chords just a few years down the line? Of course we did! So the latest on VB’s rack is it’s getting smaller as she’s tired of looking like a plastic doll. Good on you Vicky.

We love Cheryl Cole’s style but unfortunately we don’t have her money to spend on clothes. So imagine our delight when our fashion snoops found an almost identical replica of the fab Matthew Williamson pocket dress she wore for a fraction of the price. Good job guys!

You really have got to feel sorry for Shia LaBeouf the poor little mite sustained a string of injuries whilst filming Transfoermers: Revenge of the Fallen. He broke his hand almost went blind the list goes on… just think about the great big fat paycheck and it will all seem worth it!”

Finally, if you’re a fan of Big Brother you can find all the gossip from the housemates locked inside Big Brother 10 on FemaleFirst – and trust me, we tell you how it really is.
