Dorian Gray is film's next hot ticket
Posted Jan 19, 2009
Set for release in 2010 is the forthcoming UK produced movie - “Dorian Gray”. Directed by Oliver Parker, the film’s screenplay was written by Toby Finlay and is based on the infamous Oscar Wilde’s novel of the same name.
Ben Barnes, an actor who particularly impressed us in the British comedy “Easy Virtue” and whom the rest of the world discovered as Prince Caspian in Disney’s Narnia Chronicles, is set to star as the young man in Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece. As in the novel, Dorian maintains his youthful beauty for all of eternity, yet his portrait tells another story of him through the ages, revealing his true ugliness. Colin Flirth will play Lord Henry Wotton, the man that falls in love with the beautiful Dorian.
As we never fail to tire of Oscar’s wisdom, we’re convinced a new a discerning wave of Wilde-mania is set to hit in 2010. As fashion is always in advance, it’s no surprise therefore to see Oscar Wilde’s portrait printed on D&G’s menswear invitation for tomorrow’s Autumn-Winter 2010 catwalk show.
Follow the D&G menswear catwalk show as it happens via a live stream at www.dolce&gabbana.com on Tuesday, January 20th at 3 pm.

The Super Bowl is upon us and everyone is talking about the halftime performance that Madonna will be putting on with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ ‘ got it’s video release today to tempt us further and judging the way it plays out, the Super Bowl certainly inspired her…
It's the night of the year: no, not New Year's Eve, but the one in which real men gather to watch Super Bowl. For all the football addicted who didn't make it to the stadium and are enjoying it from the couch, here are 3 recipes by Gnam Box to give the US hamburger an Italian twist.
Apparently, the Super Bowl isn't only a chance for a pop singer to get on a stage with the whole US of A watching. No, it seems that there's also a certain amount of interest in a game of football (their football, you know, American football) that happens before and after the pop performance. Who knew?

Leslye Headland’s ‘Bachelorette’ premiered at the Eccles Theatre during the Sundance Film Festival and it is trying to battle off comparisons to the amazing ‘Bridesmaids’. Relying on its darker tones to differentiate itself, Kirsten plays a mean, mean girl in the film, for whom love comes last, but in reality she is secretly waiting to be surprised by Mr. Right.
Adrien Brody couldn’t be more New York if he tried. He epitomises the urbane sophisticated gentleman. Since establishing himself on the Hollywood A-List, Brody lives the life of a movie star. With constant speculation about who is or isn’t dating, Brody keeps everyone guessing. That’s part of his mystique, he’s a private guy, a committed actor and has a real artistic nature.
