Phwoar

Heather Mills-McCartney (is she still McCartney?) gave a TV interview yesterday to announce that she isn't a publicity seeker. Straight away it's quite easy to spot the irony. However she then followed this up with a further 3 interviews on different channels on the same day. This comes not long after police revealed that heather had dialled 999 on 4 separate occasions in a 24 hour period for no apparent reason.
All this certainly sounds like the behaviour of someone shunning publicity.

Somehow the glamour model Jordan has become a successful author. She has recently published another autobiography which includes the following extracts about her first time with Peter Andre
"Peter said to me you look gorgeous tonight. I turned to him and thought Phwoar, Phwoar, Fucking Phwoar"
"I took his trousers down and was delighted - it was dickilicious"
"My golden rule of waiting one month was thrown out the window"
I'm sure you will all agree that this is top class writing, no wonder her books are flying out of the shops.
In other Jordan news, she has recently been voted Celebrity Mum of the Year. Bearing in mind the above extracts and her antics in general, I just find this depressing. Surely there are far better role models out there, seems a lot of todays women grow up wanting to be just like her....

I watched The Prestige on DVD last night and it is very highly recommended, thought it was an excellent film. It about the rivalry between 2 magicians and the lengths they go to outdo each other. It's directed by Christopher Nolan and if you are familiar with his previous films such as Memento you will know that there are twists and turns in the story. In that respect a film about magic is a good medium for Nolan, they are both about misdirection.
Anyway 2 things struck me about the film. Firstly Christian Bale is a first class actor, in every film he does he really inhabits the character so that you stop thinking it's an actor and actually believe the character is real. 3 of his most recent films are The Prestige, Batman Begins and The Machinist and it really could be a different person acting in each one of these. He never seems to play the same type of character and his physical appearance can change greatly. He seems to be very much from the old school method style of acting and it works well for him.
Secondly, is Scarlett Johansson actually a good actress? I used to think she was based mainly on Lost In Translation but now I'm not sure. I watched The Black Dahlia a while ago and didn't think much of her performance. At the time I put my doubts down to it being a weak role and she was being under used in a disappointing film. However I wasn't all that impressed by her in the Prestige either. There is an element of her being under used again as the film really focuses on Bale and Hugh Jackman but all she really seemed to do was to stand around looking pretty and deliver the occasional wooden line. This does seem to be the same in a lot of her films which either makes me think that she makes poor role selections or she doesn't want to stretch herself. Time will tell.
