Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle cannot believe that his low budget movie has bagged 10 Academy Award nominations and felt ecstatic at the wonderful honor. The movie is set for release in Bombay on January 23, 2009 and is based on a young boy life which is transformed when he wins the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Boyle said in a satellite interview, “The response has been extraordinary – of people saying they want to see it, or have seen it… You’ve got to just live with the moment really – it’s just extraordinary. So we can go to our premiere now here, and say that Hollywood has bestowed this kind of honor. It’s absolutely extraordinary, so thank you to the Academy. What a wonderful honor.”
Well its great to see that how a life of a poor young man is transformed when he wins a competition and what he goes through since that point, I too have heard a lot of good things about the movie and 10 nominations is not a fluke so there has to be something that has caught the eyes of the jury.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett has been honored by her native country wherein her face will be printed and released as postage stamps which is a part of the country’s national day celebrations.
She says, “I am utterly, deeply, humbled and chuffed by the fact that I’m a stamp. I’m going to be licked by millions of Australians and I can’t wait. It is also recognizing the value of the arts in Australia. It brings it into general consumption and if I’m part of that, I feel intensely proud.”
Well I think she finds it cool because she going to be linked and pasted onto envelopes and others are going to receive her in their conventional mail boxes the next morning.
Though my thoughts might sound funny but all the same it is a real honor in these modern times for someone to have their face on a postage stamp. It’s a real cool honor

Brandy regrets her tattoo collection now as she fears that by the age of 80 they’ll look terrible. The other reasons behind such thoughts are that her own 6 year-old daughter told her that she would like to have some skin art for herself. Brandy made up stories but later realized it was a mistake on her own part.
Speaking to a magazine, “I told her, ‘Guess what? When mama gets 80 or 90 years old, these tattoos are going to look terrible. They’re going to be wrinkled, they’re going to look ugly. Mama wishes I never got a tattoo because I didn’t think about when I turn 80, how they’re going to be.”
Brandy that’s why is easier to be a child but tough when you become a parent and during your heydays if you would have given a thought to such things in perspective with what your kids will think of you actions then most of what you would like to do you will shelve it right there.
Everything starts looking rough at 80!
