Do not arrange your bright flesh in the sun
Or shine your limbs, my love, toward this height
Where basket men and the lame must run, must run
And grasp at angels in their lovely flight
With stumps and hooks and artificial skin.
O there is nothing in your body's light
To grow us wings or teach the discipline
Which starvers know to calm the appetite.
Understand we might be content to beg
The clinic of your thighs against the night
Were there no scars of braces on his leg
Who sings and wrestles with them in our sight,
Then climbs the sky, a lover in their band.
Tell him your warmth, show him your gleaming hand.

| Black Swan Sex Scene |
[07 Nov 2009|04:05am] |
Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have been rumored to engage in a steamy sex scene in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. Portman recently talked to V magazine about the film and the scene, and while she makes a semantics argument against what's been reported, Natalie is certainly not denying it.
"It's not raunchy - it's extreme," she said. I'm sure there's a difference, if only qualitatively. The tone of the profile makes me think that the extreme scene will involve nudity. Both Portman and Kunis have done nude scenes before, Portman in the short Hotel Chevalier and Kunis in some direct-to-video thing, but now Portman says she's more open to that possibility than she would have been earlier in her career.
"Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it's weird to be doing stuff on film as you're figuring it out," she said. "Also, being a sexual object when you're a kid is really uncomfortable." Well, yes. There's that.
In a way, it's rather surprising that Portman has emerged so well-adjusted given her start on screen. "After The Professional, I was already getting creepy letters.”
Lost in all of this is the fact that it's a Darren Aronofsky movie and could be very good on its own merits without such a scene. It's always a curiosity when stars decide to take this plunge. Halle Berry's topless scene in Swordfish is completely ridiculous and even takes away from the movie. However, a few months later, her sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball has to be there, is clearly driven by the loneliness of the characters, and is uncomfortable to sit through as an audience member. It's always better to have a built-in reason for a scene like this.

WDYT? I don't know much about this movie but it's very unusual for a girl-on-girl sex scene to actually do more for a film than garner attention... idk.

| Joe Jackson sues MJ's Estate for Money |
[07 Nov 2009|09:42am] |
Now, let's have a show of hands - who saw this one coming waaaaay back when we learned that MJ intentionally omitted his father from his will?
Joe Jackson Wants Money from MJ's Estate
Posted Nov 6th 2009 4:10PM by TMZ Staff
Joe Jackson claims there was "no justification" for him to be excluded from getting money from Michael Jackson's estate ... and now he's asking a judge to grant him a monthly allowance.
Joe just filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming he's "entitled to his own independent family allowance."
In the docs, Leonard Rowe -- a guy who claims to have been MJ's manager -- says Michael used to give his mother Katherine up to $60,000 a month to live on, and that Michael instructed her to give half of it to Joe.
Joe claims Michael's estate has "earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven (7) weeks following Michael Jackson's death" and is "well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson."
( Read Joe's list of expenses! )

| Kate loves Long John Silvers |
[07 Nov 2009|01:28am] |
An Illinois prisoner claims his swimmers are responsible for Kate Gosselin's eight AND Octomom Nadya Suleman's latest litter ... and now he wants his supposed spawn to come live with him in lockdown.
In the most entertaining handwritten court papers you'll ever read, Jonathan Lee Riches -- who has filed many lawsuits against celebs in the past -- wants custody of the Gosselin kids, the Suleman kids, John Edwards' love child, all the kids on "ABC's 'All My Children'" and Bristol Palin's child "which Bristol kidnapped from Linda Tripp."
In the awesome papers, filed in Illinois, Riches claims he met Kate "at a Harrisburg Long John Silvers over octopuss" -- and when Kate went to a fertility clinic in 2002, his "sperm was added to the mix."
More awesome lines included in the papers:
-- "TLC stands for Torturing Little Children."
-- "Jon Gosselin is really a woman on steroids."
-- "I sued Black History Month."

I, for one, believe him. Good luck, Mr. Riches.
