Hooray! Get the champagne and let’s celebrate. Angelina Jolie finally gave birth at the Lenval Hospital, in Nice, France. Angie and Brad welcomed a baby boy and a baby girl in their big family.

The girl’s name is Vivienne Marcheline and the boy is named Knox Leon. Hmmm … French names.The boy weighed 5.03 pounds and the girl, a little lighter, weighed 5 pounds.

As you realize, Angelina gave birth to twins by cesarian section.

Hope they are going to stop now from making babies and enjoy their big family!

Congratulations Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

In May she surprised everyone with her secret wedding with Nick Cannon. She’s 38 and she’s looking fabulous!

Of course I’m talking about Mariah Carey, the pretty butterfly of the American music industry. Elle Magazine has put Mariah on the cover of their latest edition.

Although everybody is excited about Mimi’s latest music album, E=MC², I’m sorry to say but I really don’t like her latest hit, Touch My Body. For me the song is too childish (and so is the video) but hey, who am I to critic her work.

Anyway, she looks fabulous at 38 and it seems that her marriage is working swell. At least they appear to be happy.

According to People.com Nick is thrilled about his marriage with gorgeous Mariah:

“Marriage is amazing. It’s the best thing that ever happened to me”

Anyway, here are the photos from Elle Magazine:

I don’t know if you’ve heard about a former Hamburg senator, Roger Kusch who advised a 79 years old lady into committing suicide.

The former senator is a prominent right to die campaigner who advised Bettina Schardt about how to prepare a lethal cocktail of sedatives and malaria drugs, things that would lead to her death.

Roger Kusch taped about 9 hours of the conversations with the healthy 79 years old pensioner. The thing that made Bettina think about death was the fact that she was horrified by the thought of being put into an elderly facility. She has never been married and has no children.

“I can’t say that I am suffering.” said Bettina

As you all know German people are very sensitive about Nazis and the horrible things that happened in the concentration camps so the euthanasia issue is also a very sensitive subject for most of the German people.

According to the German laws it is illegal to help a person commit suicide but Kusch cannot be charged with helping Bettina to die because he did not administrate the lethal drugs. He just advised her. In some German states some senators actually want this suicide right to be legalized. The first country which legalized the euthanasia issue is Netherlands (2002). It is also legal in Luxembourg and Belgium to commit suicide if you’re suffering from a terminal disease.

This is the hilarious part: the senator himself released some video extracts of his conversations with Bettina during a news conference on Monday.

The German Health Minister, Ulla Schmidt responded to this suicide assistance:

“What Mr. Kusch did was macabre propaganda which has nothing to do with politics”

And this is not the first time Roger Kusch talked publicly about suicide. Earlier this year the Hamburg senator came up with the idea of building a “suicide machine” useful for patients who want to inject themselves with a lethal cocktail of drugs.

I can’t help from wondering: if you’ve got cancer, you’ve got only 1 month to live, you’re in dreadful pain and you decide to take the lethal cocktail drugs is the Church going to bury you? I know some religions have some strict rules about killing yourself and priests refuse to bury a person who’s committed suicide.

Is really God’s will for you to suffer until the last moment?

I remember when I first heard about the Hansons. I was a teen and they were so famous, maybe because the Backstreet boys were too old.

Anyway, I read about Zac (22), the youngest (the cutest) Hanson brother and his wife, Kate (24) who are proud parents of a baby boy.

The two are going to name the baby Shepherd.

“I am so overjoyed. [...] There is not an audience or concert that could ever stand up to the feeling of meeting your baby for the first time.” People

The other Hansons have kids: Taylor (middle child) and Natalie have 3 kids: Ezra (5), Penelope (3), River (1 year and 8 months) and Isaac (older brother) and Nikki have one child Everett age 1.

It’s funny how the cute Hanson boys are now the Hanson men with kids and family responsibilities. I wonder if their kids are going to form a band (something like The Kelly Family) and sing about love and friendship.

Then:

and now:

They all look so happy. If everyone would be this happy …

No comments on this one! It’s too good to be true :p

Today, when I opened the Daily Mail I saw an article about Mischa Barton and her not so perfect body. So what?

She’s like millions of other ladies. Just because she’s a star doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to have bad days, cellulite or a bad hair day. After all, we’re all humans.

Mischa was spotted sunbathing in Australia and of course photographers couldn’t resist in taking lots of photos. After all, Mischa is a celebrity, right?! NOT!

Anyway, she may be only 22 but I think cellulite has nothing to do with age. Those bloody paparazzi can’t help but point fingers at her and laugh, just like they did with Jennifer Love Hewitt (I really love the way she looks). Even you, yes you, the one reading these lines, have bad bikini days.

For all those teenagers out there thinking Mischa looks very bad, remember she looks ok now. I love the way she looks after putting on a few pounds. A few months ago she was scary skinny and I really hate skin and bones bodies.

This is Ali’s story fighting a dreadful disease: anorexia nervosa. I admire her because she has the courage to tell her story on national television. Maybe more and more teenagers will listen to her story and realize being the thinnest is very unhealthy.
In my previous post I was showing you a video of Chloe Marshall, the first size 16 model to enter the Miss England competition. Well, I’m not right person to tell you what to eat or how to look, I’m just showing you that you really must find a balance between eating and exercising. And most of all, you got to love the way you are.
It’s better to love life and do things with those you love. As a teen I was never wondering if my body was slim enough. I was eating everything I wanted and still wasn’t curvy. And this because I was (and still am) a very active person, always running from one place to another and didn’t feel the need to look in a mirror and say : “Hey, am I looking like a model now?”.
As I said, teenagers should listen to Ali’s story and realize, once and for all, that being the skinniest is not healthy. And nor being fat. Love your body and love your life.

This is part one of her story, scroll down for more.

A girl who’s size zero looks like death? Being “curvy” like her is healthy? In a couple of years you will surely change that mentality. She’s pretty, has a very pretty face but her body is fat not curvy. Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez are curvy (at least Jennifer was curvy before her pregnancy). Even Jennifer Love Hewitt is curvy, being a size 2. Heck, even Mary J. Blidge has a curvy body.
Having a fat belly doesn’t make you curvy, it makes you fat and that’s dangerous for your health.
Anyway, I wish Chloe a lot of success but I really hope she won’t be taken as a role model.

Monday morning. A CEO arrives at work. His secretary notices that he forgot to zip up the fly … She didn’t know how to tell him so she asks him:

“Hey boss, did you remember to close the garage door this morning?”

The CEO answered back that he did close the garage door. He didn’t understand why the stupid question so he went back to work. After about 5 minutes he noticed the open cleavage. Then he understood why the secretary asked him about the garage door so he decides to make fun of her.

“When you saw the garage door open did you happen to see my Jaguar?”

“I’m sorry boss, all I saw was an old Mini with two flat tires.”

This may be an old joke but it sure made my day. Btw, I hate Tuesdays! Have a great day everyone!
