Happy Birthday to Ashley Dupre
Remember her? Ashley Dupre, a.k.a. Ashley Alexandra Dupre, a.k.a. Ashley Youmans, a.k.a. Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro, a.k.a. Kristen, turns 24 today.\ What a ho. The high-class prostitute (not an oxymoronic term at all) who banked $4,300 an hour to performs sex acts on former N.Y. State Governor Eliot Spitzer, hasn't been heard from in some time. She's probably trying to get her life together. Or

Fans of The Hills may recall that in a previous season, Lauren Conrad got a puppy named Chloe that played a role in Audrina Patridge moving out. Waaay back in the day, Heidi Montag's ex, Jordan Eubanks, got her a dog that she quickly got tired of and vanished to some undisclosed location. PETA, get on that one. Kristin Cavallari and her adorable (albeit somewhat angry-looking) dog would fit
HiFi Bar, Gigs of the Week - April 30th
Before I delve into this weekend's gigs, I thought I'd share a few quick and disorganised thoughts on Brisbane's newest mid-sized venue, The HiFi. Of course it opened last night with a show featuring The Drones, Witch Hats and locals Hits. The bands were all pretty good to great, but they're not really what I want to discuss. The venue is located in what was previously the Pavilion in West End, but it's barely recognisable from that old establishment. The HiFi is split into a main room that holds 1200 audience members and a front bar known as 'Vinyl' (that particular part of the venue is yet to be completed, but apparently it holds 150 people and may be used to put on smaller shows - whether smaller local bands can use it is so far unclear). The main room is fairly large, roughly cubic but with multiple floor levels so that it's quite easy to get a decent vantage point from anywhere in the venue (that said, a friend of mine who is about 6'4" told me that from near the bar you couldn't see a thing). The room doesn't exactly have much character, it was built with sound and ease of viewing in mind and most of the decour is pretty modern - it has nothing on the similarly sized Tivoli in this respect, though is no worse than The Arena. Despite this apparent focus on sound quality one of the major complaints I've heard is the poor sound, and certainly I found this to be a problem myself last night. The first two bands sounded muddy and undefined, while things improved marginally for the headliners. It perhaps wasn't as bad as The Arena could sometimes be, especially in terms of the occasional feedback storms that plagued that venue on occasions, but that's not necessarily much of a compliment.
As for other factors, it was kind of difficult to tell what the venue will be like in the future due to the fact that things were obviously not finished (in addition to the Vinyl Bar being boarded up only one bathroom was operational in the main venue, for example). Apparently the bar staff were operating on only the most basic training from the venue and so any slowness on their part can be somewhat forgiven. Drink prices were kind of high anyway so after my first drink I never returned to the bar. There were a LOT of photographers and video cameramen in the crowd who occasionally got in the way, but I imagine this was just because it was opening night, though the venue has stated that many shows will be videoed and a feed will be shown in the Vinyl Bar so maybe the video cameramen will be a somewhat permanent fixture? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
On the plus side it has decent air-conditioning which will be a big help in summer, and frankly it's just nice to be seeing a gig somewhere other than the valley for once.
Anyway...

I've been growing out my hair since 2006 and as my "hair cycle" usually dictates, the second I get close to deeming my locks "hippy hair," (which is now) I chop it. I LOVE Poppy, the face on Gossip Girl's, hair cut, but I'm not sure I'm ready to take the leap quite yet...

Telephone Table Makeover
After seeing a couple telephone table make-overs on Design*Sponge, I told my mom to keep her eye out for one during her flea market/garage sale excursions, little did I know that she would surprise me with this craigslist gem for Christmas! It needed a little love, so I gave it a few coats of white high gloss spray paint to modernize it, reupholstered the back in Rubie Green Jackie Print and the seat in bamboo print fabric and voila!

Tony JAA's next movie "Ong bak 3"...
Remember what was said by Sia Jieang in the Gala Premiere video posted on News.mcot.net, about Tony JAA's next movie "Ong bak 3"...
He says that Ong Bak 3 will be full of more daredevil fightings between Dan Chupong and Tony JAA. Moreover, in Ong Bak 3 Tien's legs and arms (Tien is Tony's character) will be torturely damaged.
Consequently, Tien has to fight with some sort of boneless action. This is homework for Panna Rittikrai and Tony JAA to create the action for us to see what it will look like to fight in the state of boneless condition.
The Set of Khmer Palace which is already seen by the press is now fortified for its further usage. It will not be considered worthwhile if it is removed. Moreover, there is now a list of Ong Bak 3 casts including the name of Dan Chupong and Nui Kessarin who will be in the same set with Tony JAA.

The close of the New Hollywood era
In retrospect, it can be seen that Jaws (1975) and Star Wars (1977) marked the beginning of the end for the New Hollywood. With their unprecedented box-office successes, Steven Spielberg's Jaws and George Lucas's Star Wars jumpstarted Hollywood's blockbuster mentality, giving studios a new paradigm as to how to make money in this changing commercial landscape. The focus on high-concept premises, with greater concentration on tie-in merchandise (such as toys), spin-offs into other media (such as soundtracks), and the use of sequels (which had been made more respectable by Coppola's The Godfather Part II), all showed the studios how to make money in the new environment.
On realizing how much money could potentially be made in films, major corporations started buying up the Hollywood studios. The corporate mentality these companies brought to the filmmaking business would slowly squeeze out the more idiosyncratic of these young filmmakers, while ensconcing the more malleable and commercially successful of them.
The New Hollywood's ultimate demise came after a string of box office failures that many critics viewed as self-indulgent and excessive. Directors had enjoyed unprecedented creative control and budgets during the New Hollywood era, but expensive flops including At Long Last Love, New York, New York, and Sorcerer caused the studios to increase their control over production.
New Hollywood excess culminated in two unmitigated financial disasters: Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980) and Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart (1982). After astronomical cost overruns stemming from Cimino's demands, Heaven's Gate caused severe financial damage to United Artists studios, and resulted in its sale to MGM. Coppola, having flourished after the near financial disaster of Apocalypse Now, plowed all of the enormous success of that film into American Zoetrope, effectively becoming his own studio head. As such, he bet it all on One from the Heart, which closed in less than a week, bankrupting Coppola and his fledgling studio. (Following the box-office disaster, Hollywood wags started referring to the picture as "One Through the Heart".)
These two costly examples, as well as the above-mentioned box-office failures, coupled with the new commercial paradigm of Jaws and Star Wars gave studios a clear and renewed sense of where the market was going: high-concept, mass-audience, wide-release films. Therefore, the costly and risky strategy of surrendering control to the director ended, and with that, the New Hollywood era.
The exploits of the New Hollywood generation are infamously chronicled in the book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind.
New Hollywood and independent filmmaking
It can often seem that the members of the New Hollywood generation were independent filmmakers. Indeed, some of their members have tacitly signaled that they were the precursors of the independent film movement of the 1990s.
However, this is not the case. The New Hollywood generation was firmly entrenched in the studio system, which financed the development, production and distribution of their films. None of them ever independently financed or independently released a film of their own, or ever worked on an independently financed production during the height of the generation's influence. Seemingly "independent" films such as Taxi Driver, Midnight Cowboy, The Last Picture Show and others were all studio films: the scripts were based on studio pitches and subsequently paid for by the studios, the production financing was from the studio, and the marketing and distribution of the films were designed and controlled by the studio.
There were only two truly-independent movies of the New Hollywood generation: Easy Rider in 1969, at the beginning of the period, and Bogdanovich's They All Laughed, at the end. Peter Bogdanovich bought back the rights from the studio to his 1980 film and paid for its distribution out of his own pocket, convinced that the picture was better than what the studio believed — he eventually went bankrupt because of this.
Truly independent filmmakers such as John Cassavetes, George Romero and Melvin Van Peebles — who secured outside financing and filmed their own scripts — were never a part of the New Hollywood generation, and should not be considered as such.
List of important figures in the New Hollywood era
Many of the filmmakers listed below did multiple chores on various film productions through their careers. They are here listed by the category they are most readily recognized as.
Writers and directors
The issue of whether or not a specific director belongs to the "New Hollywood" generation is a difficult one to address. Many of those listed below made either their only films or their most successful films (Bogdanovich or Hal Ashby) in this period. Others, such as Martin Scorsese or John Boorman, have continued to make acclaimed and successful films. Aside from this, however, "membership" of the New Generation is a blurred line. Thus, the list below does not include Stanley Kubrick or Sidney Lumet - although both of these directors were of the same generation as those below, they came to prominence in the late 1950s , in the latter part of the Classical Hollywood period. Initially, thus, their early films (famously Spartacus (1960) and 12 Angry Men (1957)) did not play a part in informing the New Generation zeitgeist as, say, Nashville (1975) or Midnight Cowboy (1969) did.

Bio:
Eva was born in 1983 in Palermo, the biggest city in Sicily. Her mother is from Germany, her father is Sicilian with Norman descent (like most people in that place). She has 3 older sisters and a brother who died when she was 4.
At 14, Eva was introduced to the fashion world by photographer Luca LoBosco. When she was only 17, the Italian magazine Corriere della Sera named her "the new Laetitia Casta" because her face (but not her body) is quite similar to Casta's. From that moment, she became one of the most important Italian fashion models and started travelling between Milan, New York, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, London, Rome, Hamburg, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. She has appeared in magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Cosmopolitan. She has also posed for the Pirelli Calendar in 2003.
In 2002, she appeared on the TV program Stasera pago io with host Fiorello, who is also from Sicily.
In 2006, she caused a scandal when she said that "anorexia and alimentary disorders between young girls are because of fashion system" and "stylists are guilty of it" in an interview of the Italian magazine Grazia about the death of Ana Carolina Reston. Campaigns:

Plot Summary for Ong-bak (2003)
Booting lives in a small and peaceful village. One day a sacred Buddha statuette called Ong Bak is stolen from the village by a immoral businessman who sells it for exorbitant profits. It soon becomes the task of a young man, Boonting (Phanom Yeeram), to track the thief down to Bangkok voluntarily and reclaim the religious treasure. Along the way, Boonting uses his astonishing athleticism and traditional Muay Thai skills to combat his adversaries.
When the head of Ong-Bak, the sacred Buddha of a poor village is stolen, the population is plunged into misery. The Buddha was the focal point of an anniversary vigil believed to bring rain to the drought-stricken area. Young Ting is selected by the villagers to travel to Bangkok and rescue the relic in time for their ceremony. Ting has an affinity with the statue as he was left on the temple steps as a baby and raised by monks, who taught him muay thai, but forbade him to use it in combat. But now he is forced to delve into a seedy underworld and try to avoid temptation...
Ong-Bak
Ong Bak 2 is only the beginning for Tony JAA who will soon be back on the set, filming scenes for Ong Bak 3.
Sahamongkol Films' president Somsak "Sia Jiang" Techaratanaprasert is talking up a storm about the next episode in the franchise. He's even sunk more than Bt200 million in Ong Bak 3.Ong Bak 2 is just the prologue, he explains.
The climax of the story comes in Ong Bak 3, with lots of excitement in the key action scenes, on which we'll be spending more than Bt100 million.The studio and the film's director and star, Panom Yeerum Tony JAA were able to resolve their conflict over budget overruns but the long delay in shooting led to Somsak deciding to split the film in two parts, with the rest of the story being told in Ong Bak 3.
Filming of Ong Bak 3 will commence before the end of the year and will only take a short time, as there's plenty footage from Ong Bak 2 that can be used.
However, there are concerned that the decision to split the film in two parts may negatively affect foreign sales."We'll know the response at the Cannes film market in May", he says.
"What happened in the past was caused by people around him. We have cleared the air and JAA is enthusiastic about returning to work", he says.Somsak says he has faith in JAA and believes the superstar is back on track. And he is already thinking about Ong Bak 4, saying he hopes to persuade Jackie Chan to play a role in the project.
The key scene in "Ong Bak 3" will see elephants invading the palace
"Ong Bak 3" will be in cinemas next year
