Berthold Von Stauffenberg is not a Tom Cruise fan. Von Stauffenberg is the son of German aristocrat Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg who made an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944.

Von Stauffenberg said in an interview published in Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper that he particularly upset with Cruise’s “off-putting” devotion to the Scientology faith, a religion he calls a “business”.

Cruise is playing Von Stauffenberg’s father in the upcoming movie ‘Valkyrie’. Von Stauffenberg said the movie is ’sure to be crap. I am not saying that Cruise is a bad actor — I cannot judge that. But in any case, I fear that it could turn into horrible kitsch.”

Von Stauffenberg’s father was heroic in his attempt to kill Hitler. The fact that his attempt failed to kill Hitler is considered one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th Century.

Stauffenberg said he would not take legal action to try to stop Valkyrie, but hoped Cruise would drop the project nevertheless.

“He should keep his hands off my father. He should climb a mountain or go surfing in the Caribbean.”

“I don’t care, as long as he stays out of it.”

I hear ya Von Stauffenberg. I wouldn’t want him pretending to be my father either.

Unfortunately, Hazel, I have to shave my legs just about every day. I just can’t stand the feeling of any stubble at all. I’ve discovered something, though, that works much better than expensive shaving gels or creams. I buy the cheapest hair conditioner I can find. You can get a BIG bottle of White Rain or other inexpensive brands very cheaply. Rub the conditioner on your legs and shave as usual. It’s a great way to save money, get a good shave and leave your legs smooth as silk.

Have you ever tried hair conditioner on your legs, Hazel?

No I haven’t! What a good idea. I’m going to try that. It makes a lot of sense that would work! Thanks for the tip. hazel

I was just reading a news story about the number of sex partners people have. It seems that men have more sex partners than women - a lifetime average of 7 - while women have an average of 4. I don’t know, Hazel, but I’ve always heard that seven is supposed to be a lucky number. Do you think that has anything to do with why men have that many partners?

New survey tells how much sex we’re having
29 percent of men, 9 percent of women say they’ve had 15 or more partners
NEW YORK
It’s a question that often prompts a boastful answer or a bashful one: How many sex partners have you had?

Now the federal government says it has authoritative statistics, documenting that men are far more likely to play the field than women.

A new nationwide survey, using high-tech methods to solicit candid answers on sexual activity and illegal drug use, finds that 29 percent of American men report having 15 or more female sexual partners in a lifetime, while only 9 percent of women report having sex with 15 or more men.

The median number of lifetime female sexual partners for men was seven; the median number of male partners for women was four.

The survey, released Friday, is based on data collected from 1999 to 2002 for the National Center for Health Statistics, a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In previous federal surveys on these topics, participants were asked questions in face-to-face interviews. The CDC believes that caused underreporting of behaviors which might be viewed negatively, although the survey did not provide any comparative results from earlier reports.

This time, data was gathered from 6,237 adults, aged 20 to 59, in what are called computer-assisted self-interviews — a method designed to provide complete privacy and produce more honest answers.

“This is the first time we’ve used this technique,” said Dr. Kathryn Porter, who served as medical officer for the survey. “The participants have a headset on, they hear questions, they touch the screen with responses. There’s no one else in the room and they can take as long as they want.”

Porter said the findings would provide grist for further studies, notably on the prevalence and patterns of sexually transmitted diseases.

Though the survey results were presented by the CDC without subjective comment, they will likely provide ammunition to various parties in the ongoing national debate over sex education, cohabitation and access to birth control.

If men have so many more sex partners than women, how do the numbers work out that way? Guess I’m not too good at math, but it would seem that it would work out fairly evenly - unless lots of men are having sex with men…and maybe that’s the answer?

It seems like just yesterday the fairy tale began. It started with the most eligible bachelor in the world finding a blushing young bride in Diana Spencer of England. At first she seemed shy as she dodged the relentless onslaught of camera crews that followed her everywhere.

As time went by she became more adept at working the paparazzi. She was beautiful, graceful and charming and the world fell in love with her. What a marvelous queen she would be! Her every move was documented by the cameras. Then she gave birth to her first son, heir to the throne of England. This was the baby that would become a king. The world was fascinated and wanted to see more.

By the time she gave birth to her second son the fairy tale had soured and morphed into a soap opera. Still the world watched with endless fascination and curiosity. The two handsome sons only added to the photo opportunities.

When Diana died in a tunnel in Paris in 1997 the world mourned as though she was our own. In as sense she was. Everyone had participated vicariously in her life. Following her death, her legend only grew. She would be forever young.

Gradually, over the years since her death, her sons have grown up and become men. They are both Second Lieutenants in the British Army. They are both tall, handsome and as charming as their mother. They both seem to know instinctively how to work the paparazzi to their own advantage.

The world’s fascination continues as the heirs to the throne of England come of age. In a way they, along with their mother, Princess Diana, may have saved the monarchy. They certainly have kept the world’s interest.

Prince William celebrated his 25th birthday on Thursday. He is now eligible to receive income from inheritance left him by his mother Princess Diana. He will have access to the interest accrued on the $13 million left him at the time of her death in 1997. The amount is estimated to be approximately $500,000 per year.

The Associated Press reports.

Harry, 22, William’s brother, will gain access to a similar amount when he turns 25. According to Diana’s will, the brothers gain access to the capital sum when they turn 30.

William and Harry are both second lieutenants in the British army, earning salaries of about $44,000 a year. They also receive money for accommodation and other expenses from their father, Prince Charles.

Now that he is 25, William also can marry without the consent of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II _ but no royal nuptials are on the horizon. William and his long-term girlfriend, Kate Middleton, announced in April that they had split.

We like horses, don’t we Adeline! But we don’t get that kind of inheritance. Maybe their lack of privacy and the constant attention they have to endure is the price paid for being born royal.

Now, isn’t this the sweetest thing!!

Keith Urban has been touring the United States flew to Australia to celebrate Nicole Kidman’s 40th birthday Wednesday. She is in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann’s Australia Down Under.

He flew into Sydney and then took a private jet to Bowen to meet Nicole on her movie set.

People

On Wednesday, Kidman’s actual birthday, the couple watched a surprise fireworks display for the birthday girl from a mountaintop lookout in Bowen. They also traveled to nearby Horseshoe Bay, according to another source. Urban, 39, is scheduled to resume his U.S. tour next week.

Also for Kidman’s birthday, director Luhrmann, who directed her in 2001’s Moulin Rouge, put together a bash for his leading lady that included caterers flown in from the States, Australia’s Daily Telegraph reports.

Locally, Bowen Mayor Mike Brunker had his own contribution to make to the festivities, telling the Telegraph, “My wife spent all day baking, now we’re just waiting for Nicole to arrive.”

My husband would have probably sent me a card and called me on my birthday. He’d have probably said he’d love to be with me if only I wasn’t on the other side of the world.

Ain’t love grand!

Paternity DNA test prove that Eddie Murphy is the Scary Spice’s baby daddy.

Melanie Brown is Scary Spice of the Spice Girls. She and Murphy had been dating last summer but Murphy dumped her when she was pregnant. She gave birth to a baby girl, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, in April and named Murphy as the father.

Murphy declined to accept that he was the father of the child and was forced to take a paternity test to resolve the issue.

He has never seen his daughter with Brown.

So will the baby be called ‘Murphy Brown’? Sorry, lame joke.

Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis of American Idol fame, have been awfully close since their days on Idol.

The couple has been spotted by TMZ holding hands and shopping together.

They deny, deny, deny. But they do seem …. close.

They will tour with the rest of the American Idol finalists this summer.

In other Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks news (I know, everyone is holding their breaths!).

Blake is posting on his myspace blog.

Well, that was exciting to write!!

I just learned something over at GeekySpeaky.

You know how it is with Google. You do a search and get hundreds of thousands of results to sort through. It’s especially difficult if you happen to be searching for a common name. GeakySpeaky uses the example of looking up an ex-boyfriend who happens to have the same name as an 80s rock star. She also explains how to refine the search to get more accurate results for what you are looking for.

Let’s say you’re tracking down an ex-boyfriend, who happens to have the same name as a guy who was in an 80’s band. If you search for the boyfriend by name, obviously, you’re going to get tons of results that aren’t about the specific guy you’re trying to find. You can easily use the minus sign to remove things from your results.

So, in this example, we’ll say your ex is named Kevin DuBrow, which is also the name of the lead singer of Quiet Riot. (I attended a concert of his in 2001 which also featured Warrant and Poison, and Kevin Dubrow autographed my stomach after the show. Anyway…) When you visit Google, and put in the name Kevin Dubrow, you’ll get about 88,000 results. But since you know that your ex is NOT the Quiet Riot singer, you can cancel out results that also have that term, by doing this in the Google search box:

“Kevin Dubrow” -Quiet -Riot

That takes you down to 50,000 results! You could then add -album -musician -record to further filter your results. This is extremely helpful when you’re searching for a term that has 2 different meanings, or a person who has a famous double!

I had no idea you could do that. I thought I’d pass it along.

Happy googling ….

Adeline,

I went ahead and bought an Alli Starter Kit. I know, I know, you wrote that it was just too disgusting to use it, but I need to lose a few pounds for swimming this summer.

I’ve been researching it and if you eat a healthy diet the side effects you wrote about are not quite that severe. I’m going to try it anyway.

The price in my local drugstore is $59.99 but I found it online for $49.25 at drugstore.com

All you have to do is do a search through the chitika mall in the sidebar on the right to get the best prices for Alli or any other product you are interested in purchasing online. It also gives you the rating of the store that has the product and whether or not it’s in stock.

Alli Starter Kit.”>You can buy Alli online here.

You can do a search in the chitika mini-mall to see if that is still the best price. Or search for other online products.

I’ll let you know how it goes!
