I wish my name were Details Magazine.  Sha Pow.  My latest crush, Bradley Cooper graces the cover of Details Magazine with that sexy freakin smile of his.  He and actress Jennifer Esposito were going out for years, got married and ended the marriage four months later.  I guess it was a case of ‘we should never have done this’.  I’m hoping it was more like Bradley saying ‘Anne needs me, I must make myself available to her’.   All he will say of the marriage is:

“It was an experience.”

And Bradley says he doesn’t get recognized at all:

“I don’t have to curtail my life at all,”  “Zero. Zero. Zero.”

This will make my stalking very effortless I must say.  But if I didn’t heart Bradley before, I do even more so.  For the Details inteview he showed up with two dogs in the back of his pick up truck (okay that part I don’t much like) that he rescued from the pound 7 years ago:

“Nobody rescues older dogs”

I always say that.  See.  He and I are perfect for one another. I just need to convince my husband and Bradley of that.

For the rest of the interview go here

“There’s definitely something called a casting couch.  “I did it the old-fashioned way: I went to acting school and broke my ass, studied hard. But if you take a girl from the Midwest with a pretty face, and instead of inviting them in for an audition in the morning, the directors invite them for dinner at night? That’s not going to wash in my house.

“I can recall with certain women, we’d go out, I’d park the car on Sunset (Boulevard), and by the time I’d got to the curb there’d be three or four producers handing them cards. That kind of thing makes me act a bit like Attila the Hun. There’s ways you get a job, and ways you get a job.”

……self-explanatory….I have to wonder when the wives of a producer hears this story what she thinks?

Which once prominent magazine writer/TV interviewer now appears in elegant homes wearing men’s clothes and a fedora? Sighed one jaded observer, “These days, becoming a lesbian is a career move” . . .

Which sexy leading man, known for his wandering eye, recently hooked up with a pouty songstress? The raven-haired rocker is a big change from his usual choice of supermodels . . .

Which actor is on hiatus due to a drug relapse? He claimed he needed time off because of the heartbreak of his public split, but he’s actually headed to rehab.

This is so very tragic I can not imagine what the families must be feeling.  Former View co-host, Lisa Ling’s sister Laura and her friend Euna Lee have been sentenced in North Korea’s highest court for 12 years of hard labour (prison camp) for “for the grave crime they committed against the Korean nation and their illegal border crossing.”

They were in China for former Vice President Al Gore‘s Current TV, where they were covering international trafficking of women and it is believed they were abducted and taken over the border.

The trial has been shrouded in secrecy and it is unknown (other than crossing the border) why these women were arrested March 17.

The Ling and Lee families had quietly been working to release the two women and decided to reach out to the public on May 31.  A joint statement from the families pleading for the:

“expeditious release of Laura and Euna on humanitarian grounds,” stressing, “Euna Lee is the mother of a 4-year old daughter. And Laura was being treated for an ulcer prior to her departure, and in our limited communication with her we fear it has become more serious since her detainment and requires immediate medical attention.” 

“We aren’t certain of the details of what happened on March 17, but we can say with absolute certainty that when the girls left U.S. soil, they never intended to set foot onto North Korean territory. If at any point a transgression occurred, we sincerely apologize on their behalf.”

I think if anyone had a ‘worst nightmare’ it would be something along these lines.   The families must be beside themselves with all of this.   Analysts are saying this could be used as a bargaining chip with tensions mounting from ongoing testing of nuclear missiles.  I sincerely hope the U.S. government can step in and do whatever they can to secure the release of these two women.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the women and the families.
