Really cool Goddess Study please pass along
"The Positive Benefits of Goddess Spirituality."
"...The single gender focus on women only is a means of restricting the size and magnitude of a study. Primarily the study is about the positive benefits that women experience in honoring a Goddess in their spiritual path of choice. I have come to realize that many of the questions I pose to women would not be appropriate for a study with men. Questions such as improvements of body image and others just do not have the same meaning for men. The single gender research issue will be addressed appropriately in the results and discussion sections of my dissertation.
I am seeking women 18 or older, who read and write English, honor a Goddess in their spiritual path of choice and are willing to complete a 10-20 minute survey on the Web..."

"We just put the 'gay' back into Dorian Gray."
HEART ATTACK IDLES FAITHFULL
From the NY Post's Page Six
A RECENT heart attack cost Marianne Faithfull a plum role in a new screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray."
Faithfull — the razor-voiced rock goddess and style icon of '60s Britain — is doing fine, her friends say.
But according to prickly Brit filmmaker Duncan Roy, Faithfull, 58 — infamous for being Mick Jagger's one-time lover-muse and writer of the Rolling Stones' classic "As Tears Go By" — was forced to decline the role of the countess in the director's just-wrapped adaptation of Wilde's story, set in New York City.
"Marianne really wanted to do it but had to pull out at the last moment," Roy tells PAGE SIX. "[Her manager and boyfriend] Francoise Ravard told me she had a slight heart attack. She's fine now." Ravard did not return e-mails. Faithfull's William Morris agent was unable to reach her at press time.
The news comes on the heels of Faithfull's well-received album "After the Poison," [sic] a collaboration with performers like P.J. Harvey and Nick Cave. Faithfull, whose cigarette-charred pipes would give Harvey Fierstein pause, recently quit smoking.
The working-class-born Roy, famed for his experimental 2002 film "AKA" — based on his experiences infiltrating London's upper crust by posing as a young British lord — recast Nastassia Kinski in Faithfull's role.
David Gallagher, the 18-year-old star of TV's "7th Heaven," portrays bisexual Dorian Gray in the art-house flick, which earlier this year looked to be going head to head against another adaptation that pretty-boy actor Ryan Phillippe planned to produce, direct and play the lead in.
Roy, who publicly fought with Elizabeth Hurley on the set of his film "Method" — he now calls her "a [bleeping] bitch" — has equally unflattering words for Phillippe: "Who was going to believe that he's 18 years old?" (Phillippe is 31.)
Roy, who turned 40 on Friday, can rest easy. Asked about Phillippe's purported Wilde project, the actor's flack says, simply, "It went away." Enthuses Roy: "I've won the battle of the Dorian Grays!"
The cautionary tale of a hedonistic young man who never ages while a portrait of him grows older by the day was made into movies in 1945 and 1970.
"The film is sexually graphic. It's not rampant . . . but there is one very hot same-sex scene," says openly gay Roy. "We just put the 'gay' back into Dorian Gray."

Yes! Finally people might note that reality tv is SCRIPTED!
Reality TV writers claim Calif. labor law breaches
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A dozen writers who work in the booming arena of "reality" television have sued networks and production companies for what they say are violations of California labor law governing overtime wages and meal breaks.
Hoping and praying...
Leonardo DiCaprio has hired Sahara screenwriter James V. Hart and his son, Jake, to adapt the Kurt Vonnegut classic Cat's Cradle for his production company. In the novel, there's a big race for a new form of ice. Or, as I like to call it, daiquiris. - TV Guide Online
Of course Leo did serve as producer for The Aviator, and supposedly he's a film freak in the most intellectual of senses...so maybe it'll actually be quite good.
I never saw Sahara, anyone know if it's any good?
Vonnegut RULES!

Lil Kim Goes Down...and not in a good way.
After handing down his sentence Wednesday, Judge Lynch blamed the vicious cycle of lies and secrecy in the hip-hop community for Wallace's unsolved murder. It was a stinging rebuke to his former lover.
"The man is dead," the judge said forcefully. "Someone killed him and it's because people do what you did that we still don't know who killed him."

it's all going to end in tears Katie...
KEEPING AN EYE ON KATIE
SINCE Katie Holmes hooked up with Tom Cruise and the Scientologists, she's not allowed to be alone - ever. When Holmes accompanied Cruise to a recent taping of "The View," eyebrows were raised when she wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom alone. At one point, Cruise asked where the bathroom was and "took Katie with him into the men's room," an insider says. Later, when Holmes needed to go, "three Scientologists followed her in." A rep for "The View" said, "We don't follow guests to the bathroom." Some were also concerned because Holmes "looks like she hasn't slept in weeks."
Stockholm Syndrome
One thing I've never seen before...a mailing list devoted to the Tom and Katie relationship?
