I have been going to Malawi for the last 3yrs helping orphans in the north of Malawi. We have donated a clean water for a village of 200. Build centres for pre school for the orphans, etc.

I have been trying to build a free primary school which will take care for the orphans.
I was trying to raise £7,500 to complete a whole primary school + play area, this is proven difficulties.
There are many Orphans, who have no one at all.
So far we have about 120 orphans living in different villages which we care for.

Hope we get help.”

Gloria Allred’s Got a Brand New Target

Gloria Allred always seems to be attached to a highly publicized news story.

Knowing that there are no genuine lawsuit possibilities raised by the facts of this case, Allred has come up with a creative way to seek money for the two men who were directly insulted by Michael Richards’ racist outburst.

Allred has insisted to the media that Cosmo Kramer’s alter ego meet with her clients, Frank McBride and Kyle Doss, in front of a retired judge to apologize and allow the judge to decide on compensation.

Allred claims that concerning her clients, Richards “went after them,” “singled them out,” “taunted them,” and “did it in a closed room where they were captive.”

Anyone held captive in today’s comedy club’s deserves some big bucks.

Maybe this lawsuit should be called a crass action.

Michael Moore, Oliver Stone’s Help Sought by Terrorist Group

Colombia’s largest rebel group wants a deal with the government on exchanging imprisoned guerrillas for rebel-held hostages.

Guess who the group wants to act as intermediaries?

The negotiators of choice for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as the FARC, are some high profile Hollywood celebrities.

Listed by the U.S. government as a “foreign terrorist organization,” the FARC is presently holding some 60 hostages, including three defense contractors, former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, politicians and military officers.

The FARC says it will only release the hostages in exchange for nearly 600 imprisoned rebels.

In a letter, the FARC called on Michael Moore, Oliver Stone and Denzel Washington to help put together a hostage swap.

In addition to the aforementioned Tinseltown notables, the letter was also addressed to well-known leftists Noam Chomsky, James Petras, Angela Davis and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Marcia Cross Wants Her Trash Back

Celebrities have to be careful about what they discard.

“Collectors” routinely search through dumpsters of the famous, hoping to find some treasures among the trash.

“Desperate Housewives”’s Marcia Cross is desperate to have her trash remover return some pictures to her that she had placed in the round file.

A man who was hired to haul away some refuse reportedly found over 200 pictures of Cross, some of which captured the actress enjoying an outdoor shower.

The actress’s attorneys are threatening to file a lawsuit. They’ve indicated that Cross tossed the photos by mistake.

But an agent for the trash collector is asserting the venerable legal doctrine of “Finders Keepers.”

Cross recently got married and is pregnant with twins.

‘Borat’ Confounds Hollywood Experts

 

 

As Sacha Baron Cohen’s Kazakhstani alter ego Borat would say, “My movie is bringing glorious takings of much American dollars at box office.”

 

According to the studio estimates of 20th Century Fox, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” took in $26.4 million during its opening weekend, mystifying experts and beating the highly favored Disney flick “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause,” which stars Tim Allen.

 

“Santa Clause” ended up in second place with a $20 million take.

 

Another film that was supposed to beat “Borat” is Paramount-DreamWorks’ animated comedy “Flushed Away,” which features the voices of Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet, but the movie landed in the number three spot with $19.1 million.

 

Theaters were jam-packed with “Borat” fans because “Borat” was released in only 837 theaters, a reflection of execs’ low expectations for the comedy. 

In stark contrast “Santa Clause” and “Flushed Away” were on 3,458 screens and 3,707 screens, respectively. 

“Borat” averaged $31,511 per theater while “Santa” and “Flushed” averaged less than $6000 per screen.

Needless to say, Fox plans on increasing the number of “Borat” screens ASAP.

 

Why the success for the highly satirical comedy? 

 

The Internet has been buzzing with feedback on the flick with most of the comments indicating that throughout the movie audiences were in hysterics.

Disney Sticks with Mel Gibson

Disney Sticks with Mel Gibson

The Walt Disney Company has indicated its firm support for Mel Gibson’s upcoming epic, “Apocalypto.”

Disney execs undoubtedly saw what I did when viewing the movie, which Gibson co-wrote, produced and directed.

It’s a highly entertaining film that’s part “Road Warrior,” part “Braveheart,” with a highly original setting and story.

The movie will have audience appeal, particularly in the coveted 18 to 25 age group.

The suits at Disney see the potential of “Apocalypto” overcoming the recent coverage of the DUI charge and anti-Semitic remarks, which Gibson apologized for and explained on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Disney spokesman Dennis Rice told Reuters, “If it’s a good movie, people are going to see it. … One of the great things about Mel Gibson is that he is a great filmmaker and he has a proven track record.”

Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations for Disney, acknowledged that controversy will be a factor in marketing the Gibson film.

“I don’t know how that cannot be a factor,” Dergarabedian said. “His personality has come into play … but if it’s a good movie that will hold it in good stead.”
