Er spricht darüber, dass es die Pflicht eines Zeugen sei, von Tür zu Tür zu gehen um mit den Menschen über die Bibel zu sprechen. Er meint, dies sollte auch kein Grund für seine Fans sein, in irgendeiner Weise auszuflippen.

Des weiteren sagt er, dass er auch zu geschäftlichen Treffen immer eine Bibel mitnimmt und es liebt, diese auch rauszuholen. Somit will er demonstrieren, wie wichtig es ihm ist, dass die Geschäfte transparent sind und nichts beschlossen wird, was irgendwie im kleingedruckten oder ähnlichem steht.

However, according to Giornale dello Spettacolo, the worldwide premiere of Twilight would be at the Rome Film Festival on 31 October. Hmm, either way, I guess we would not be able to be there!

POPSTAR! magazine is out, and there are are two pages of our beloved Twilight guys:
Taylor Lautner - Here

(Credits to andrew_is_love9 and ontd_twatlight for the scans)

Just to share with you the Korean book covers of Twilight and New Moon respectively, because I think they are absolutely gorgeous!


Isn't it wonderful how the movie poster they used is the one of Edward and Bella and not of the very first Cullen family and Bella image released? And it doesn't take up the full cover either! For the original art:
Twilight - Here
New Moon - Here
Cassie, a fellow Twilighter, somehow traced the artist to this.

Following this are all non-Twilight related news, apart from the actors.
Robert Pattinson is in a 12-minute long film with an actress called Talulah Riley called The Summerhouse. A 3-minute trailer has just been released.

That's it for today so far!

Segundo o site britânico The People, a cantora Madonna pretende adotar mais um filho. De acordo com as informações do site, inicialmente a diva planejava adotar uma garota da mesma religião do seu outro filho adotivo David Banda, do Malauí. Porém, devido a morosidade do processo de adoção do país, a cantora acabou desistindo da idéia.

A popstar e o seu marido Guy Ritchie, estão consultando os seus conselheiros da Cabala e o Brasil é um forte opção. Eles chegaram a pensar em uma criança da Índia , porém não chegaram a nenhuma conclusão ainda.

Segundo uma fonte do site, ligada ao casal, “O Brasil foi mencionado, entretanto Madonna ainda tem que fazer uma pesquisa com as agências de adoção de lá”

Em dezembro, Madonna passará pelo Brasil com a sua atual turnê “Sticky & Sweet Tour” do álbum “Hard Candy”. Ela realizará shows no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo.

Demi, the biggest teen star

And I, a Disney hoster

But we're, both Christian

Where is God when I need Him?

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, you could be my "Ashlee Simpson" - yeah

Thanks for stealing my heart - that's a Sin - yeah

I hear your every heart beat - yeah

I propose on my knees

Miley and I are over

I never really liked her

She's not what I thought

Nude pics turn me way off

[Chorus]

Please don't tell me why it can't be

Cuz I don't wanna hear - yeah

I'll burst into tears and I'll cut my wrists

I want you all for me!

Demi, I've been waiting and praying for you

So, I don't know how to say this... but

Demi, will you take my hand in marriage?

And take me to be your husband; and you to be my wife?

And we could live happily ever after

Just like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens

Oh yeah, I'll be your Jesse McCartney!

Tell me if you

[Chorus] (x3)

Oh I propose on my knees

...Unless of course you want me to get up off the flour

It's basically about Miley Cyrus asking people to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior just as she had. She was formally in the youth group under Ps Jeremy Whitehead, at The Peoples Church, in Nashville, Tennessee. Very interesting stuff!!

Musisz tylko podpisać specjalny dokument.

Dzisiaj Snoop Dogg wystąpi na warszawskim Torwarze. Okazuje się, że jeśli podczas każdego koncertu obowiązują takie same zasady, to fanki muzyka mogą liczyć na ostrą jazdę...

Snoop jest teraz w trasie. Niedawno grał koncert w Chorwacji. A tam... No cóż wiadomo, że Snoop nigdy nie należał do grzecznych muzyków. Zawsze lubił zaskakiwać i krążyć wokół tematów seksualnych. Nic dziwnego, że ma sporo fanek, które myślą tylko o tym, by wskoczyć mu do łóżka. Jednak z tych, które pojawiły sie na koncercie w Chorwacji, postanowiła wyjść z inicjatywą.

Dziewczyna zgłosiła swoją prośbę do menadżera muzyka. Powiedziała, że chciałaby uprawiać seks zeSnoopem. A co on na to?

"Jasne, nie ma żadnego problemu. Jest tylko jeden warunek: musisz podpisać dokument, w którym wyraźnie zaznaczysz, że zgodziłaś się na stosunek. Muszę mieć pewność, że później nie oskarżysz Snoopa o gwałt" - powiedział menadżer."

Kolejny rekord na koncie Angeliny Jolie i Brada Pitta. Pierwszy padł, kiedy sprzedali zdjęcia swojej pierworodnej córki za 2 miliony dolarów. Od tego czasu wiele się zmieniło. W Hollywood ceny noworodków idą szybko w górę. Vivienne Marcheline i Knox Leon zarobią tyle, ile za udział w filmie biorą ich rodzice!

Walka o publikację pierwszych zdjęć pomiędzy magazynami OK! i Hello! wreszcie się zakończyła. Trwała długo, a prasa spekulowała, że stawka może zakończyć się nawet na 20 milionach dolarów! Ostatecznie przetarg wygrała gazeta Hello!, która za fotografie noworodków zapłaci 7,5 miliona dolarów!

To jedna z wydawniczych sensacji dziesięciolecia! Brad i Angelina to para marzeń dla każdego kolorowego czasopisma na świecie - powiedział przedstawiciel magazyny Hello!. Po tym numerze spodziewamy się trzykrotnego wzrostu sprzedaży. Wszystko dzięki miłości, jaką obdarzają tę parę czytelnicy.

Fotografie bliźniąt zostaną opublikowane w gazecie Hello! oraz magazynie People, który za pełną sesję zdjęciową zapłacił dodatkowe 8 milionów dolarów. Razem Vivienne Marcheline i Knox Leon zarobią ponad 15 milionów dolarów!

Zakończyła się wojna magazynów, teraz rozpocznie się walka organizacji charytatywnych, które liczą na dotację ze strony Angeliny i Pitta.

Sveglia, colazione con vista e una nuova pace con tutte le nazioni del mondo, Iran compreso.
La giornata era, come sempre molto calda, e abbiamo deciso di curare il nostro corpo, come il nostro spirito, con una purificatrice cura dell'acqua (minimo 3 litri di acqua, piu' n beveroni, frullati di frutta:  Checco banana, Titta melone bianco) e una visita alla madrassa, scuola coranica di pregio artisitico architettonico.
Cosi' tra un'occhiata e l'altra della gente incuriosita da due turisti, magari un po' pittoreschi, abbiamo visitato il parco cittadino, bello e rinfrescante, e lo Hasht Behesht Palace, uno splendido palazzo all'interno del parco, che purtroppo stava cadendo in rovina, anche a causa del soffitto e delle colonne in legno inrtarsiato e decorato.
Malgrado i buoni propositi, abbiamo sentito la necessita' di una nuova dose di Kebab al pollo e cis siamo messi in strada per cercare un ristorante rinomato nel centro. Fra il caldo e la scarsezza di neuroni funzionanti, ci siamo infilati in una bettola del centro, prima che il bacillo della sindrome di Bush prendesse piede nuovamente.
Servizio lento, posto atroce, ma cibo aprrezzabile, almeno perche' non era il solito Kebab di pollo. Come ormai di abitudine, gli avventori si rivolgevano a noi cercando di scambiare in amicizia due parole (due proprio).
la Conversazione tipo era:
LORO Hello, How are you... (NB senza punto di domanda)
NOI Hello (salam)
LORO whreee fom?
NOI Italy
LORO aaaa Italia, whrreee sity?
NOI Venice
LORO (.....?) Veniiis! Esfahan beautiful?
NOI Yes, very beautiful, Iran people very nice
LORO wheeer Iran?
NOI (Yerevan Jolfa... nella versione piu' lunga) Tabriz, Esfah....

A questo punto iniziava una sottospecie di scambio culturale a gesti in cui Checco primeggiava, quanto meno per spirito di sacrificio e abnegazione. Si riusciva ad andare avanti anche per mezz'ora, con il massimo del risultato di sapere che eta' avevano e se avevano figli. N.B. Se avete bisogno di statistiche di natalita' in Iran potete rivogervi alla sezione speciale del Blog.

Con i sintomi postprandiali di un pranzo luculliano a base di kebab, ce ne siamo andati a zonzo pescando casualmente la Moschea Hakim, classco luogo di culto iraniano. Imponente e mistico. Cercando di seguire la guida, siamo finiti nel bazar dove tra un hello e l'altro ci siamo districati in un enorme  marasma di prodotti. Per trovare la strada ci siamo fidati degli hello: quando diminuivano sotto i 5 al minuto voleva dire che eravamo gia' passati per quella zona del bazar.

In un turbine di misticismo e seguendo l'arcangelo siamo finiti nel terzo luogo di culto, la moschea Jameh, che in nessuna citta' iraniana puo' mancare (sarebbe come il nostro duomo). Forse la piu' grande che avevamo fino a quel momento visto. Era anche la piu' varia nei diversi stili architettonici, anche se non era molto ben conservata. Rispediti tra i pagani, a causa dell'imminente preghiera dell'Imam, abbiamo attraversato mezza citta' a piedi per fermarci al ponte Ali' Khaju (si narra che sia il piu' vecchio del mondo), dove abbiamo trovato la voce della verita' in un ragazzino di 20 anni, particolarmente crticio con il sistema. Abbiamo proseguito per il ponte Chubi e infine siamo arrivati all'hotel.

Doccia e cena in centro a casa di quel simpaticone di Lerch, in vacanza dalla famiglia Adams, cameriere del ristorante Bastani, dove abbiamo mangiato anche particolarmente male. Di notevole c'era comunque il pessimo servizio.

il rientro ha seguito strade casuali, in coerenza con la vacanza.

Madonna chega ao Brasil em dezembro e fará shows no Rio de Janeiro (dia 14/12) e em São Paulo (dia18/12). Todas as informações oficiais para sobre o show da Madonna no Brasil você encontra aqui.

Santogold é novo nome dourado da música pop. E essa garota é muito boa no que faz! Com um tino comercial aguçadíssimo, a cantora acaba de lançar seu primeiro disco de mesmo nome 'Santogold'.

Misturando batidas eletrônicas, punk rock e uma salpicada de dub, o disco vem sendo recebido com entusiasmo pela crítica. Composições ricas e misturas, Santi White (nome real da cantora norte americana), chega mostrando que sabe exatamente o que está fazendo e que público pretende atingir. Destaque para as faixas "I´m a Lady", "Ane" e "L.E.S. Artistes".

O clipe de 'Lights out' "é um crash de estampas atrás do outro. A moça (com seus backing vocals e banda) canta e dança com as estampas aparecendo em todos os lugares - na roupa, no batom, no fundo... Tem xadrez, tem zebrado, tem floral, é o máximo. E a cantora avisa, pra quem acha que o modelo wayfarer já era: ela vai continuar usando, pelo menos até o próximo single..." ( Chic).
