To your scattered topics go
William Shakespeare + Vishal Bharadwaj = Omkara, i.e. a Bollywood adaptation of Othello. A gut infected by deceit! What's not to like?
Audioslave's Chris Cornell has been tapped to write and record the Casino Royale theme song, "You Know My Name". I gather it will be "both soulful and tough" thereby de-metrosexualizing recent trends in Bond theme music and returning to Bond's proud tradition of closeted/repressed heterosexual womanizing.
Because the world needs more exploding crystal museum extensions, the Tate Modern is growing one of its own. I like the look of it. That said, £215m strikes me as a bit steep for the end result and I am just as happy it is stuck round the back.
Audrey Hepburn wearing this particular Hubert de Givenchy in Breakfast at Tiffany's makes it the ultimate little black dress; Christie's thinks it is a snip at £50,000 and £70,000. Though I expect it to fetch much more than that at auction.
Coinciding with a new chapter in her life, "Aussie poppet" Kylie Minogue is set to launch her own signature fragrance. No word on what the strong, seductive, glamorous and playful scent might involve. I am thinking gardenia and bourbon vanilla is likely though can still cross my fingers for amber and honey with a little sandalwood. Shame it is by Coty. I had another whiff of that David Beckham stuff and I could feel my nostril hairs burning.
Speaking of Mr. Beckham, England's top-footballer and Spice spouse is courting controversy with his white Speedo. I am not certain why as this is hardly the first time. Towelroad points to Beckham's previous "gay vague" black Speedo performance by way of evidence.
Despite the prospect of falling rockets, and some tedious complaints from "religious" types, Depeche Mode's Tel Aviv concert is set to go ahead. Good for them.
Despite/because of my ongoing irritation with high-handed bonehead marketing firms trying to use my blog as a platform for their clients, I have been meaning to start plugging products I like. Luzianne Cajun Seasoning does not have to pay me a thing. Delish! I put that stuff on just about everything; particularly nice when combined with mayonnaise.
