Hot news & buzzDiscussing latest news and buzz...Back to hot news admin (2008-08-12 13:42:56) Self-proclaimed narcissist John Edwards, former senator, one-time vice presidential nominee and two-time Democratic presidential hopeful declared, admitting that he cheated on his wife : "[My experiences] fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe you can do whatever you want (...) You're invincible. And there will be no consequences." In a press statement he released later, he reiterated that his time on the campaign trail made him become "increasingly egocentric and narcissistic." A step towards wisdom for sure. ---------- John Edwards, ancien sénateur et deux fois espoir présidentiel démocrate, a déclaré, en admettant avoir trompé son épouse : "[Mes expériences] ont développé un égo et un narcissisme qui vous font croire que vous pouvez faire tout ce que vous voulez (...) Vous êtes invincible. Et il n'y a plus de conséquences." Il a ensuite réitéré dans un communiqué de presse, déclarant que la campagne l'avait fait devenir "de plus en plus égocentrique et narcissique." Un pas vers la sagesse, sans aucun doute. admin (2008-08-08 13:34:55) Daily top 10 Did you receive this nice spammy newsletter ? .. with all links pointed to the same page, or how to promote a website CNN.com daily top 10 stories Top 10 stories 1.

The official selection was unveiled by festival president Gilles Jacob and delegate general Thierry Frémeaux. Of the 20 directors competing for the 2008 Palme d’Or, eight (only) of them are making their official competition debut. Clint Eastwood will be represented by "Changeling", a mystery set in the 1920s in Los Angeles starring Angelina Jolie. Steven Soderbergh will present "Che", a four-hour film about the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. Other films in the competition will come from Belgium, Turkey, France, Argentina, Brazil and Italy. Steven Spielberg’s "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and Woody Allen’s "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" will be shown out of competition. The opening and closing films are yet to be announced. Competition Le Silence de Lorna - Luc et Jean-Pierre Dardenne (BE) Gomorra - Matteo Garrone (IT) Il divo - Paolo Sorrentino (IT) The Palermo Shooting - Wim Wenders (DE) Delta - Kornél Mundruczó (HU) Conte de Noël - Arnaud Desplechin (FR) La frontière de l’aube - Philippe Garrel (FR) Leonera - Pablo Trapero (AR) Synecdoche, New York - Charlie Kaufman (US) Changeling - Clint Eastwood (US) Adoration - Atom Egoyan (CA) Three Monkeys - Nuri Bilge Ceylan (TR) My Magic - Eric Khoo (ID) Linha de Passe - Walter Salles (BR) Che - Steven Soderbergh (US) 24 City - Jia Zhangke (CN) Serbis - Brillante Mendoza (PH) Waltz With Bashir - Ari Folman (IL) La mujer sin cabeza - Lucrecia Martel (AR) Out of Competition Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Woody Allen (US, ES) Indiana Jones et le Royaume du Crâne de Cristal - Steven Spielberg (US) The Good, the Bad, the Weird - Jee-woon (KR) Kung Fu Panda - Mark Osborne & John Stevenson (US) Special Screenings Sangue pazzo - Marco Tullio Giordana (IT) The Ashes of Time Redux - Wong Kar Wai (CN) Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired - Marina Zenovich (US) C’est dur d’être aimé par des cons - Daniel Leconte (FR) Chelsea Hotel - Abel Ferrara Of Time and the City - Terence Davies (UK) Midnight Screenings Maradona - Emir Kusturica Surveillance - Jennifer Lynch The Chaser - Hong-Jin Na Special Jury President’s Screening The Third Wave - Alison Thompson ---------- La rumeur qui courait depuis quelques semaines a enfin été confirmée, le très attendu Indiana Jones 4 sera présenté en grande première au Festival de Cannes 2008 le 18 mai, quatre jours avant sa sortie mondiale (le 22 mai). Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett et George Lucas (qui produit le film) monteront les marches du Palais des festivals pour présenter hors compétition Indiana Jones et le royaume du crâne de cristal. Cette projection spéciale du nouveau blockbuster de Spielberg sera sans nul doute l'événement de ce 61ème Festival de Cannes, qui se déroulera du 14 au 25 mai. Thierry Frémaux (délégué général) et Gilles Jacob (président) ont dévoilé une liste quasi-complète de la sélection mais manquent encore à l’affiche un film français (une chance de plus pour décrocher la première palme française depuis 1987 et "Sous le soleil de Satan" de Pialat) et les films d’ouverture et de clôture. Parmi les 1792 films visionnés (contre 1615 en 2007), les sélectionneurs en ont retenu 19. Parmi eux, les frères Dardenne ("Le Silence de Lorna"), Arnaud Desplechin et un "Conte de Noël", Steven Soderbergh ("Che"), le nouveau Clint Eastwood ("Changeling"), le Turc Nuri Bilge Ceylan ("Trois singes"), le Canadien Atom Egoyan ("Adoration"), Jia Zhangke ("24 City"), Wim Wenders ("The Palermo Shooting"), la première fiction du scénariste Charlie Kaufman ("Synecdoche, New York"), la première apparition en compétition de Philippe Garrel ("La Frontière de l’aube") et l’opus israélien d'Ari Folman ("Waltz with Bashir"), "un film d’animation documentaire" dixit Thierry Frémeaux. Hors compétition, le nouvel "Indiana Jones" sera présenté en exclusivité quelques jours avant sa sortie mondiale. Egalement le nouveau Woody Allen ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), avec Penélope Cruz et Scarlett Johansson qui sort au passage son premier album en France. La curiosité de ce festival devrait être le documentaire du journaliste Daniel Leconte consacré aux démêlés de "Charlie Hebdo" et de ses caricaturistes avec les intégristes de tous bords, au titre prometteur "C’est dur d’être aimé par des cons". Concernant le jury, on savait déjà que le Président du Jury de ce Festival de Cannes 2008 serait l'acteur-réalisateur américain Sean Penn. Il sera accompagné par le metteur en scène mexicain Alfonso Cuarón, l'américaine Natalie Portman, l'acteur-réalisateur italien Sergio Castellito, le cinéaste français d'origine algérienne Rachid Bouchareb, l'actrice allemande Alexandra Maria Lara et le metteur en scène thaïlandais Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Deux autres noms des membres du jury seront dévoilés plus tard. La sélection officielle : "Trois singes", de Nuri Bilge Ceylan; "Le Silence de Lorna", de Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne; "Un conte de noël", de Arnaud Desplechin; "Changeling", de Clint Eastwood; "Adoration", de Atom Egoyan; "Waltz with Bashir", de Ari Folman, "La Frontière de l’aube", de Philippe Garrel; "Gomorra", de Matteo Garrone; "Synecdoche, New York", de Charlie Kaufman; "My Magic", de Eric Khoo; "La Mujer sin cabeza", de Lucrecia Martel; "Serbis", de Brillante Mendoza;"Delta", de Kornel Mundruczo; "Linha de passe", de Walter Salles; "Il Divo", de Paolo Sorrentino; "Leonera", de Pablo Trapero; "The Palermo Shooting", de Wim Wenders; "24 City", de Jia Zhangke; "Che", de Steven Soderbergh. moderator (2008-02-10 20:25:15) The empire strikes back The French president Nicolas Sarkozy filed suit against the nouvelobs.com for "falsification, use of false documents and possession of stolen goods" his lawyer Thierry Herzog said. "I have my sources, I confirm" editor Airy Routier said in an interview broadcast on the Canal Plus network. To be continued. moderator (2008-02-04 00:40:19) Nicolas Sarkozy marries Carla Bruni It was announced on radio by the mayor of the eighth district of Paris, Francois Lebel, who officiated at the wedding : Nicolas Sarkozy married italian ex-super-model becomed singer Carla Bruni. The marriage was later confirmed by the president's office in a short statement saying french president Sarkozy and Carla Bruni "announce that they were married this morning in the presence of their families in the strictest privacy." This is Sarkozy's third marriage, he and Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz, divorced 4 months earlier. Bernadette Chirac, the wife of former president Jacques Chirac on RTL radio said "I extend all my warmest wishes for happiness to the newlyweds. She is very beautiful and I know that they are very happy together". Carla Bruni has been romantically linked to several famous men before, including rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton or Donald Trump. She has a six-year-old son, Aurelien, from her relationship with philosopher Raphael Enthoven. ---------- Finalement annoncé à la radio par le maire du 8ème arrondissement de Paris, François Lebel, qui a présidé le mariage, Nicolas Sarkozy a épousé l'ex-top-model italien devenue chanteuse (Quelqu'un m'a dit) Carla Bruni. Le mariage a ensuite été confirmé par l'Elysée dans un court communiqué disant que le président français et Carla Bruni annonçaient s'être mariés en présence de leurs familles dans la plus stricte intimité. C'est donc le 3ème mariage de Nicolas Sarkozy, après son divorce d'avec Cécilia Ciganer-Albeniz en octobre dernier. Bernadette Chirac, ex-première dame de France a exprimé ses voeux de bonheur au nouveau couple présidentiel. Carla Bruni a été la compagne auparavant de célébrités telles Mick Jagger des Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton ou Donald Trump. Elle a un fils de 6 ans, Aurélien, issu de sa relation d'avec le philosophe Raphael Enthoven. moderator (2008-01-13 05:49:11) Nicolas Sarkozy & Carla Bruni married ? Nicolas Sarkozy said it : "You'll know it most probably when it's already done". The gossip says that the president and the singer would have married on january 10, 3 days ago, in Paris 16. Do you believe it ? ---------- Nicolas Sarkozy l'avait dit : "Il y a de fortes chances pour que vous l'appreniez quand ce sera déjà fait". Une rumeur a annoncé que le président et la chanteuse ex top-model se seraient mariés ce 10 janvier dans le 16ème arrondissement de Paris. Vous y croyez ? moderator (2007-11-14 14:46:11) Hugo Chavez to Spanish King The scene took place at a summit of leaders from Latin America and Iberia. It was quite "funny" to watch it in the TV news. King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to shut up when the Venezuelan leftist interrupted a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Chavez demanded Spain's king apologize for telling him to shut up, otherwise Spanish investments could suffer in its former colony. ---------- La scène a eu lieu au sommet des leaders d'Amérique latine et ibérique. Assez "drôle" à voir dans les journaux télévisés. Le roi Juan Carlos a demandé au président vénézuelien Hugo Chavez de se taire quand celui-ci a interrompu un discours par le premier ministre Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Chavez a exigé des excuses, sous peine de voir les investissement espagnols en souffrir dans son ancienne colonie. moderator (2007-11-12 03:52:15) Obama vs. Clinton Barack Obama vs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, what a promising show. It just reminds me the past french election : President Nicolas Sarkozy vs. Ségolène Royal, no real debate, no good choice, only quite intelligent persons (behind the scene at least) knowing some statistics and playing quite well with words, in a great reality show. Bush Sr, Clinton Mr, Bush Jr, Clinton Ms, then Bush grandson ? "Anthropic principle", who said that ? .. well, who cares after all... ---------- Barack Obama vs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, quel affiche prometteuse. Cela me rappelle la dernière élection présidentielle française : Nicolas Sarkozy vs. Ségolène Royal, pas de vrai débat, pas de vrai choix, simplement des personnes relativement intelligentes (derrière les caméras en tout cas) connaissant plus ou moins bien quelques statistiques et jouant de mieux en mieux avec les mots dans un grand show télévisé. Bush père, monsieur Clinton, Bush fils, madame Clinton, ensuite Bush petit-fils ? "Principe anthropique", qui parle ? .. bon, ça intéresse qui après tout... moderator (2007-11-09 01:32:49) Sarkozy prime minister "... et puis souvent, le problème c'est que lui ne veut pas" By these words french prime minister François Fillon clearly suggested that president Nicolas Sarkozy makes prime minister's job also, at least when necessary (in front of the camera)... A "France is out of business" effect or is it just Sarkozy effect ? ---------- "... et puis souvent, le problème c'est que lui ne veut pas" Par ces mots le premier ministre français François Fillon a clairement suggéré que Nicolas Sarkozy endossait le rôle de premier ministre, au moins si nécessaire (en face de la caméra)... Un effet de "La france est en faillite" ou l'effet Sarkozy ? moderator (2007-11-04 16:53:44) Nicolas Sarkozy & l'Arche de Zoe President Nicolas Sarkozy departed early today for Chad, where he should discuss the case of the 17 Europeans held in connection with an alleged attempt to kidnap 103 African children. French president called last week for the journalists to be freed in the shortest possible time. He could bring them home aboard his presidential plane. ---------- Nicolas Sarkozy est parti aujourd'hui pour le Tchad, où il doit discuter du cas des 17 européens soupçonnés de kidnapping de 103 enfants africains. Le président français a appelé la semaine dernière à libérer les ressortissants français le plus rapidement possible. Il pourrait ramener à bord certains d'entre eux.
