| The Chinese government has something in common with 2004 American politics. Apparently, they see Hollywood as having some sort of homosexual agenda as well. To countermand this turn of events, Chinese censors have determined that critically acclaimed gay cowboy film Brokeback Mountain has objectionable content unfit for exhibition in the country. Xinhua News Agency, the official media outlet of the government, deemed the "sensitive topic" too risque to merit consideration as one of the 20 foreign films the World Trade Organization requires them to exhibit each year. The Chinese government will effectively punish itself for this censorship later on when it allows Big Momma's House 2 to be screened. |

Lindsay Lohan has recently taken a song title from fellow pop sensation Michelle Branch and turned it into a part of her. Literally. The rising starlet was so impacted by her New Year's "asthma attack" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that she went to a tattoo parlor and had them imprint the word "breathe" into her flesh. By way of explanation, the diva offered this comment, "The attack was a big deal, so I wanted to commemorate it on my body as a reminder." Lohan now faces a different struggle as her constant need to look at her arm in order to remember to breathe has left her prone to walking into walls, tripping over inanimate objects and occasionally plummeting from heights. But she does remember to breathe all the way down. |
| Why doesn't Charlize Theron work more? You want to know. BOP wants to know. Every post-pubescent man in the world wants to know. Ms. Theron herself, however, already knows the reason why. Aeon Flux claims it's because her cleavage is lacking. That's right. One of the sexiest women in Hollywood claims that she constantly loses out on action roles because "her boobs are too small". Her line of thinking is that directors are interested in female love interests in such projects performing the "obligatory boob bouncing scenes" and she is lacking in this regard. BOP doesn't buy this for a second, because we don't recall Dolly Parton co-starring in 48 Hours, Die Hard or Lethal Weapon. |

Last night's SAGs awards produced several expected results. Triumphant actors were Reese Witherspoon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Rachel Weisz and Felicity Huffman. Witherspoon and Huffman both winning was a quirk of the process. BOP fave Huffman's win was in the television category for her work on Desperate Housewives rather than her performance in Transamerica. There was, however, one shocker that will have a profound effect on Oscar nominations predictions this week. Brokeback Mountain got punched in the mouth a second time over the weekend as it was upset in the Best Ensemble category at the SAGs. Crash, the preachy racial tension drama from Paul Haggis, proved to be the Buster Douglas (or Little Mac) to Brokeback Mountain's Mike Tyson when it won the most coveted award at the ceremony. BOP isn't ready to say that this was a fix in order to make the Best Picture race more interesting, but WWE owner Vince McMahon and boxing promoter Don King were in charge of counting the votes. |
"The interview is the most important part of the pageant. It counts for 30 percent of your total score."
"What's the other 70 percent, cleavage?""
