Tina Fey's scar

Tina Fey's famous scar

---

ABC's host Barbara Walters had revealed her '10 Most Fascinating People' list a few days ago. Among those fascinating people we find Tina Fey, a strong woman, which will be the cover for the Vanity Fair magazine in 2009 January issue. She got famous for her career, but it was interesting how she succeeded to pass over her cheek's scar and still have the front page of the newspapers, magazines and tv channels. On VF she is titled as 'American Sweetheart'. I agree that she struggled a lot, but let's not to exaggerate. Is like putting a lion on the list of the most beautiful kitties of the year or something. The mystery of her scar will stay hidden for a while. She was quoted in New York Times as saying:

It's a childhood injury that was kind of grim. And it kind of bums my parents out for me to talk about it

but in Vanity Fair in the interview, Jeff Richmond said something different,

It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen.

This subject is a big buzz these days and it seems that the truth won't come out soon. The rest of Barbara's Fascinating People list contains other big names as Sarah Palin,Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Miley Cyrus, Frank Langella, Michael Phelps, Rush Limbaugh, the transgendered man who is pregnant again, Thomas Beatie and the winner, Barack Obama.Below is the playlist of the interviews with these people (excepting Thomas Beatie)

Martin Luther King Jr. - Free At Last

---

Now, indeed Martin Luther Kink Jr. is really free and is probably resting in peace. Have past 45 years from his famous speech. His words were engraved on his grave as a symbol of his fights and efforts, but now, really, those words are as true as a clear sky. If Obama will be a good leader for America or not, that is something that future will show us, but the past is already sealed: FREEDOM for black people, RIGHTS for all races that live in America and one more thing - United States. All these could be spelled with a single name: Barack Obama. 4th november 2008 is the day that will remain in history as the day when the last proof that America is a great democracy have been stamped.
Obama is for America a fulfilled dream, the hope and a new beginning and the end of a shame. For other countries he could bring a better taste than dust to the world. I'll end this idea as it started, with the words of Martin Luther King Jr. and a short collection of a few great speeches.

Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

October end, November 1st

---

2008 October ends with bad news. Public faces being killed, or did committed bad things. Head of the news is Anne Pressly (on the right), who was found in a blood bath (Shelley Malil's kind of style) almost one week ago. She died a few days later while she was hospitalized. From Associated Press we have the brief news about this.

Something went wrong maybe at the party where she was before the attack. It seems that she've been followed till home, because she had time to write on her Facebook wall how happy she was because her friends appreciated her small role in the movie W. She was working for the Arkansas television KATV.
On the same line, we find Skylar DeLeon, who was found guilty for murder same day when Anne Pressly was attacked. He killed three people, two tide by an anchor and thrown off their yacht, and in another murder a 45 years old man. Although he looks quite sad in the photo, that's mostly because he is afraid of the punishment he we get. He was popular as a child when starring in "Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers". As the show's name says, he was powerful as an adult, but in the wrong way.

With these news we end October unfortunately. Anyway, November begins in force with interesting things. On SNL (Sunday Night Live), November 1st, there are rumors that Barack Obama will take part in the last day of the election campaign. Obviously he will bring his best weapons to this show. SNL prepares a great show for this weekend as they've invited David Cook, the American Idol winner, who will sing (for Obama - that is funny). Probably the show will be opened by Cook, just to leave our brains fresh with Obama's speech.
Below is a performance of David Cook in American Idol show


Also on November 1st will be launched the first Venezuelan communication satellite, called 'Simon Bolivar'. Let's hope that it will be launched without problems.

It doesn't look too fancy, but what the heck?! It will be out of space and nobody will see it. Cheers to Venezuela !

Marriage in different centuries

Love doesn't change in time, the only thing that changes is the reason why people get married. More traditionalist families had alliances instead of marriages and that happen only in royal niche of society. Above is the picture of The Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Oldenburg and Prince Eitel Frederick, a couple which got married about one hundred years ago. An excerpt from a New York Times said at that time:

BERLIN, Feb. 27. -- The Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Oldenburg, daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, and Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son of the Emperor, were married this afternoon in the chapel of the palace by the Court Chaplain, Dr. Dryander. The 500 persons present included members of the royal families of Germany, the Cabinet Ministers, and a number of Generals and Admirals. Ambassador and Mrs. Tower were present in the diplomatic circle.

These days we are witness to a 'love statement' of Michelle Obama that surrounds the news. I'm not impressed about it, but is nice to see these two couples at one hundred years distance. Below is Michelle Obama preparing for speech:

Speech trend: Martin Luther King Jr. meets Morpheus meets Obama

There are at least three similarities in these speeches. Morpheus's speech about the last hundred years is clearly based on Luther King Jr.s speech. All three speeches refers to history. Obama also refers to slavery.
