No Nude Scenes for Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt recently divulged to a magazine that he will no longer do any nude scenes in films due to his role as a father to a small country. Sorry ladies!

This statement comes not long after Angelina Jolie's film Beowulf came out in theaters, in which she does an animated nude scene. Hmmm. Wonder if he was trying to tell her something?

Angelina made the list of celebrities that kids think should be on Santa's nice list, however, and Brad did not. Guess parents aren't teaching their kids how horrible nudity is these days. At the top of the nice list was Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana fame. Her career has started out strikingly similar to someone on the naughty list, that being Ms. Britney Spears. So will Miley end up becoming the next Britney? I'm sure men across America are hoping so, at least for her teen years. Then when everyone gets bored with her, they can hope for the exciting ride to her becoming a train wreck. I don't think Miley will turn out like Britney, however, even though she, too comes from a redneck family. This is because her father, the king of the mullet himself, Billy Ray Cyrus, was in show business and didn't really push her into it, so she may be a little more grounded than the likes of Britney and Lindsay, who were pushed into the spotlight by their mothers who wanted so desperately to live vicariously through them. Miley's already a superstar, however, so it's going to be hard to avoid the paparazzi when she reaches the age of partying and dating other celebs. So far she's on the good girl track, however.

Another Hollywood good girl, Jennifer Love Hewitt, has been getting some bad press lately over some slightly unflattering photos taken of her on the beach. Why are the paparazzi attacking her? She's a size 2, for Christ's sake, and the pictures aren't even really that bad. I would love to have a butt like her! Granted the style of her bikini top was probably not the best choice, but she still looked great to me! If she were to go have a chat with the guy who took the picture, he would grovel at her feet. The paparazzi try to get these unflattering photographs of female celebrities, when they themselves are extremely unattractive and would die to go out with women like Jennifer Love Hewitt.

All paparazzi should watch the movie La Dolce Vita by Frederico Fellini. The term "Paparazzo" originated from the name of a character in the film. It portrays a man who is tired of his shallow life of covering the antics of celebrities and wants to do something more with his life, but he just can't pull himself away from the extravagant lifestyle of the famous. The female character played by the extremely curvaceous Anita Ekberg definitely could be any of the young, shallow Hollywood starlets of today, and the outcome of the movie rings true to what the "life in the lap of luxury" really is an how hard it is to leave behind for something more meaningful.

I doubt paparazzi would really get anything out of the film, but if you want to watch a classic film (it's from 1960 and is in Italian, so you'll have to read subtitles. Don't watch it dubbed!) that still is relevant today, watch this. It's definitely one of the greatest films of all time.
