Carla Bruni is just fit to be tied. Well, not literally. Then again, we’d have to ask her hubby, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, about how she feels about being tied - or several of her former boyfriends maybe. Anyway, she’s not happy that an announcement about a nude photo of her being put up for auction was put out the day before she left on an official visit to Britain. Now she’s got to meet the Queen of England with a nude picture of herself all over the internet.

Its not as if there aren’t lots of nudes of Carla Bruni (link NSFW). She’s been a model and done a lot of photo shoots over the years. Still, she’s trying to get some respectability and improve her favorability ratings with the French who haven’t been really happy about her being their First Lady. I thought Europeans didn’t have a problem with nudity!

Gwen Stefani is pregnant like everybody else in Hollywood these days. I don’t think she’s having twins though, which sets her apart for most of the others. She had a shower at her house yesterday with a few of her famous friends. I’d love to see what the likes of Courtney Cox brought as a shower gift. Hey, the girl looks fantastic. She’s not as swollen as most women get by the time they are as big as she is. She says she loves GETTING pregnant. You gotta love that about her!

Demi Moore told David Letterman and his viewers last night that her beauty secret is ‘Leech Therapy’. It seems she goes to Austria, shaves her entire body, soaks in turpentine and then lets leeches have at her and suck her blood. She says that’s why she manages to stay so young and healthy looking.

Of course, her looks have nothing whatsoever to do with the $600,000 she’s spent on head to toe cosmetic surgery.

Demi called it a new ‘cutting edge’ therapy. Hell, I thought they were doing that in the Middle Ages.

I love these promos - I guess you could tell if you come here at all. This is for The Shape of Things to Come. I. Can’t. Wait.

Here’s the write up.

“The Shape of Things to Come” is the ninth episode of the American Broadcasting Company’s fourth season of Lost and seventy-eighth episode overall. It will air on April 24, 2008 on ABC in the United States and on CTV in Canada.[1] The episode was written by co-executive producer Drew Goddard in mid-February 2008 and filmed in mid-March.

Goddard said that writing the episode was “maybe my favorite thing I’ve done on Lost, and I’ve been lucky with all the episodes I’ve gotten so far.”[2] Karl (played by Blake Bashoff) is shot dead at the end of the previous episode and Bashoff has confirmed that if Karl’s corpse is seen in “The Shape of Things to Come”, it will not be played by him.

Renee Zellweger is pictured all lovey-dovey with some guy. I don’t know who he is, but you can see there’s chemistry. We’ll see if we hear any more about it.

I saw this picture of Amy Winehouse at Celeb Warship and it made me so sad. Its a high school photo. She looks sweet and innocent and has clear smooth skin. She looks a lifetime away from the strung out crack ho we know and love now. So sad. Wasted talent.

Remember when Paris Hilton had to go to jail and swore she was going to go to Rwanda cause they have lots of poor kids there and she can do all kinds of good things for the world by going there? She said she was changing her life and doing good things from then on? Remember? Then Rwanda said thanks but no thanks so she went on back to partying and seemed like she forgot all about Rwanda and poor kids. It was like she didn’t think there were poor kids she could help anywhere else and besides, she didn’t know where Rwanda was anyway? Remember?

Well, she’s actually IN Africa now. Its not Rwanda, but she’s in South Africa. Of course, she went there because her latest boyfriend, Benji Madden of Good Charlotte is there to perform over the weekend. I’m sure she would have gone anyway (insert sarcasm here). Anyway, since she followed Benji there she thought she might as well do good while she was there. So she found some poor kids and had her picture taken with them. It was kinda like killing two birds with one stone.

All the kids knew who she was (that’s frightening enough by itself!) and she had a slutty publicity shot of herself that she signed and gave out to all the kids - musta thrilled them to death. Actually, it probably did which makes me even sadder for the kids. She actually behaved quite well other than what was probably not the best judgment in giving out those pictures of herself. She dressed a bit more subdued and acted pretty nice with the kids.

Wouldn’t it be nice if she decided that doing things for other people is actually fulfilling and means more than partying 24/7? If only Britney would learn that. But then, what would people like us do for a living if all these celebrities got their acts together.

Heres some photos of Paris in South Africa - the picture above wasn’t taken there, I just added that to get your attention

Nothing can really replace the good old fashioned rubber stamp for business uses, not to mention for decoration and just for fun. They’ve been around since the start of the 19th century and they don’t look like they are going anywhere any time soon. There have been some changes with computer technology and the introduction of watermarks, but the basic need for business stamps have held on. They are still an essential commodity for lots of business firms and companies who have lot of paper correspondence such as courier agencies, schools, colleges, government offices and other institutions.

As you can probably imagine, there are all sorts of uses for business stamps. You can get the kinds of stamps you need from most printing companies along with your other requirements like business cards or address labels. Many types of stamps are made for various business purposes like stamping when a document was received, rejected, accepted, disposition of a document, custom postcards and affidavits, stamping the backs of checks and conventional stamps for payment purposes. The rubber stamp industry has met with a sea of change during the last few decades resulting in new improved good quality stamps, the quality of ink used has also upgraded.

Rubber stamps come in all shapes and sizes and have a ton of purposes. Many of us use them for crafts. They add a lot of personal decoration for scrapbooks or personal cards you want to send. You can use them for personalizing place cards for special occasions. Kids love them for their various artistic endeavors. The list is almost endless!
