Odd blog-surfing synchronicity:
I was reading a political blog -the last bit I read was:
Abramoff was so closely tied to the Bush Administration that he could, and did, charge two of his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date and a meeting with the President.

Then the very next blog I read had:
An online casino has a piece of Capt. Kirk. Actor William Shatner has sold his kidney stone for $25,000, with the money going to a housing charity, it was announced Tuesday.
[link]
Hmm... a lunch date with the president? or Captain Kirk's kidney stone? Both are worth negative money to me. Unless I could take lunch with the pres and somehow inflict his kidney with Kirk's kidney stone....
I intend to go with "You know you bought this car because it
wasn't
compact. Fuck off."
I know there are times when there's nowhere else to park...but that's so often not the case.
Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country?
I tend to think Hindu for India, but I could be completely wrong.
My brother wanted make stickers for SUVs, and more importantly Hummers that said - "Someone in the Saudi Royal Family Loves Me".
Or, another sticker option, "I'm helping Global Warming! Asking me how!"
RE: Watching Love Monkey. Nic Harcourt is a producer on it. HENH! Go KCRW.
And Jason Priestly is in it? WEIRD!
Hindu 80.5%, Muslim 13.4%, Christian 2.3%, Sikh 1.9%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.1% (2001 census)
The Muslim population is (largely) concentrated in the north west, near Pakistan, so those areas I would think be predominantly Muslim, enough for the purposes of the movie, anyway.
Speaking of, is India considered a Muslim country?
Not in the sense that the film would like it to be, no. (I suspect that they set the film there more out of convenience than ideological accuracy -- shooting in Iran or Afghanistan might have been problematic.)
India still has a big Muslim chunk even without Pakistan I think. Could be the chunkness that's useful to the film -- and the English speaking population.
Reese's dress wasn't vintage after all:
Witherspoon, who won Best Actress for “Walk the Line,” wore a white-and-silver “vintage” Chanel dress - only to find out it was a mere 3 years old and that Kirsten Dunst wore the same frock to Globes after-parties back in 2003. Whoops!
Witherspoon’s rep, Nancy Ryder, is said to be so angry at Chanel for giving her a recently recycled gown that she’s vowing not to accept anything from Chanel again - or let her other clients, including Jennifer Lopez and Renée Zellweger, wear anything from the French couture house.
Ryder said, “Reese was told the dress was vintage. It was not. I’m not angry - just a little disappointed, but the big deal is Reese won the Golden Globe.”
