What Happened to Renee Zellweger?

What happened to Renee Zellweger's face? She is unrecognizable!

When asked, she said things about being in 40s, and being healthy, and being happy. But those didn't explain the drastic face change.
Ok, I looked at a few photos available online and at certain angles, she does look like her old self. Especially the way she pout her lips.
I believe she did something to her face. People's face don't simply change even as we age a few years. Let's see... slightly bigger eyes... slightly fuller lips... I don't know.
Or, she wore very little make-up! That might explain it! (Yeah right!)

Lord of the Rings Medley

My daughter loves The Lord of the Rings. And now that the final Hobbit is coming in December, she is too well excited. She found this and shared it with me. It's violin medley by Lindsey Stirling.
Not only the music is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking.
Amazing I must say!

RIP Robin Williams

Mork has returned to Ork...

One of the greatest actors in history is now gone. And such an irony. He spent his life entertaining people. Making people laugh. But little do people know that he was battling depression. Sad.

As an English major in the late 90s, one of the must-watch movie was Dead Poets Society. He inspired us to read and love poetry and seize the day. The boys of our batch even named themselves Dead Poets Society! And who can forget his amazing comic portrays of Captain Hook, Mrs Doubtfire, Teddy Roosevelt, Genie and many, many more. 

Upon reading about his death, I could only imagine him as Mork, the alien we so associated with in the early 80s when I was a child. Nano nano! And that three-stuck-together handshake. 

You will be sorely missed Robin Williams. RIP. You are free Genie!

Music Video for American Market? What Crap!

I just have to write about this. There is this infamous music video being watched widely performed by a singer I have never heard before and directed by a guy I've heard only once or twice in some gossip columns. A Prema Yin Ranee and Gambit Saifullah. Err... who?
It is said to be too raunchy for the local audience. In response to the huuhaah, the director said, “The video is made for the United States market and not for local audience,” adding that it was for Malaysians to judge for themselves whether this was acceptable.
OMG, what kind of response is that? I have watched it a few times. Why? Not because it's good. Two reasons actually - 1. they shot the video in this very nice house - I lurve the deco; 2. it is such a horrible music video - passable vocal, the singer is a terrible dancer, the make-up and costumes so ugly, the storyline was so stupid - I watched it to get a good laugh :).
Anyway, a huge round of applause to them because the controversy really makes the song and the video so famous it has surpassed 300,000 views on YouTube. Excellent PR. Well, not due to good reasons but still... good one.

Katy Perry Can't Sing!!!

Am I the only one who thinks Katy Perry can't sing?

The Women

I managed to watch The Women again at Star Movies. A star-studded all-female movie. Yup, no men! It's a movie about women, must be watched by women, and must be watched by men/husbands. I don't know if things would have turned out differently if I had watched this before.
The whole movie can be quoted beautifully and meaningfully. If you wonder how it feels like, Candice Bergen said it in its entirety and truthfully. I was taken aback when I first watched the part, like my feelings were stripped bare for the world to see. But it was how it first felt and you either fight to win, or crouched and lose. I wish no women will ever feel or experience it because the pain is too excruciating. But then, women are stronger than they think they are... surviving is a choice, so set your aim to win.
If you are curious on how it felt to be a cheated wife, here it is.
Candice Bergen to Meg Ryan:
"It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach, feels like your heart stopped beating, feels like that dream, you know the one when you are falling and you want so desperately to wake up before you hit the ground but it's all out of your control. You can't trust anything anymore, no one is who they say they are. Your life is changed forever, and the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience is no one will be able to break your heart like that again."
