Prince Lorenzo Bio Trivia by Roxanne McDonald

He was one of the most dignified and classiest of Bachelors. He had more than the bachelorettes buzzing about him. And by actions and words, Lorenzo Borghese has proved to be the prince that he is. |
To by no means trivialize him, then, we look at some biographical trivia that keeps the discussions going after the ending of season 9 of “The Bachelor,” in November of 2006.

An Article about Aniston and Acting…Imagine That
An Article about Aniston and Acting…Imagine That by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Imagine that, I thought to the self as I considered writing about Jennifer Aniston without focusing on who she is seeing, not seeing, or suffering over…. |
And there you have it, I found—amidst the articles about her leaving Vince, meeting and seeing Paul, and rumors of joining the adoption junket—news of awards and accolades that have something to do with her acting! Imagine that.
Celebrity Spider and others announce Jennifer Aniston’s win at the CineVegas Film Festival for the short film Room 10, which Anniston co-directed with Andrea Buchanan as a contribution to Glamour Magazine’s “Reel Moments” series and which won the CineVegas Nevada Short Film Jury Prize.
Britney Blasted over Baldness Billboards
Britney Blasted over Baldness Billboards by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Can celebrity get away from mockery? Better yet, can satire be misconstrued…and sued? |
Evidently, yes.
According to Levine Breaking News (June 18, 2007) and Celebrity Spider, a Florida radio station, WFLZ, displayed billboards with Brit’s bald head and captions that she and her lawyer are interpreting as slanderous enough to go to court over:
The words “Certifiable”, “Shock Therapy,” and “Total Nut Jobs” were used to sell the station’s “MJ Morning Show.” But Spears and her lawyer have issued complains and threats to the legal department of Clear Channel—claiming that the billboards link mental illness with the fallen (or falling) pop star’s public image.
Johnny Depp Retrospective
Johnny Depp: A Brief Retrospective by Roxanne McDonald
 |
It’s a little soon for a lifetime achievement survey, but looking back at Johnny Depp’s first roles surely reveals how far this gorgeous talent has come. |
Almost every time I see Johnny Depp, I think of 21 “Jump Street,” wherein Depp plays the sexy albeit orally fixated gum-chewing, toothpick-biting, poker chip-sucking Officer Tom Hanson.
Reportedly, Depp hated working on “21 Jump Street,” so reminders of his five-year stint may be less than welcome. Still, the show launched his career and made him a new tweenie poster face for thousands. (According to Tiscali Film & TV, Depp was receiving 10,000 fan letters a month!)
Celebrities Don’t Kill People, Regular People Do
Celebrities Don’t Kill People, Regular People Do by Roxanne McDonald
 |
We vacillate with the opinions, go back and forth with the amount and kind of punishment a drunk driver should get. But when it’s Paris, we go soft. [No pun intended] |
Okay, enough is enough. Celebutante Paris Hilton gets a drunk-driving conviction. She tries to get out of taking responsibility for her wrong-doing. She finally gets jail time. She can’t eat, can’t sleep, and can’t—according to TMZ reports quoting psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy, “participate in a meaningful defense” due to her being “emotionally distraught and traumatized” over her required jail sentence…so the trial is postponed till August.
A conveniently “private” medical condition suddenly erupts, disturbing enough that a convicted person is released after serving three days.
Now, the definitions of what constitutes a criminal act are revisited. How much culpability is taken into account and somehow miraculously reconsidered: a poor person, a regular guy or gal, will put at risk loved ones the world over should he or she drink and drive. But if a celebrity drinks and drives, the risk is diminished, discounted? Or the value of civilian life is somehow now measured on a different, special scale?
Add to this (the not new) discussions of how if prisoner #1223344 couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, and was “distraught” over having been incarcerated to pay a debt to society, as it is deemed, that prisoner would get little more than a tough shit response.
I am one of those who has gone soft and back to hard again about how Paris is being given a bit too much favoritism, so I don’t have much right to bitch about the back and forth, the indictment and rescinding….
Lohan’s Life Imitates Art
Lohan’s Life Imitates Art…or Does It? by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Or is it the other way around? After seeing “Dirt” do a similar leak storyline, I am confused whether it is the thing to do or the thing to avoid…despite how much additional press it brings. |
Lindsay Lohan was on Maxim’s Top 100 Beauties list—along with, in top nine order, respectively, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, and Fergie. She’s also tops in the news—again—not so much for being in rehab at Promises but for having played knife games with a buddy over a year ago.
Paris Does the Pen
Paris Does the Pen by Roxanne McDonald
|
Paris has full cavity search (?), a flora legium of fans, and first day (and night) blues as she serves her time. |
Paris reportedly had to undergo what any incoming prisoner has to—the cavity search for contraband. She then was escorted to her cell amidst chants and the offer of gifts (say Celebrity Spider and TMZ). But the complaints over the conditions eclipse the notoriety Paris has enjoyed these last years.
She can’t sleep in what she purportedly described to friends by phone (a different kind of cell phone, ahem) as a “freezing” cell with no pillow and only three blankets as well as the nighttime noises and bright lights (the latter again not of the fame type the celebutante is used to). She doesn’t eat, either.
Instead, she is crying and still scared…though Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy refused to discuss his patients after his two-hour visit to Paris, saying only how “Everything’s fine.”
Cate Blanchette is Added to the Dangerously Thin List
Cate Blanchette is Added to the Dangerously Thin List by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Can’t leave out any starlet who might have positive self-image. Must convince another she is too fat, too thin, too old, too something. |
Well, they say that any criticism is good advertisement, but I am not sure pestering about one’s body weight is something Cate Blanchette invites as “good”. Not sure the stellar performer even needs such additional exposure to accelerate her career.
So it was a month ago that the press (from Daily Mail in the UK to New Zealand Herald to National Enquirer) went wild over images of Blanchette, photos taken—purportedly–a mere twenty-four hours apart. [see Daily Mail pics for comparisons.]
At a gala fashion event, Blanchette appeared in a spaghetti strap gown, shoulders bone thin and face looking like it was put through concentration camp horrors.
