soooo crazy things going on lately...
"model" jasmine fiore (i feel bad talking negatively about her because she's not alive anymore, but seriously how was she a model? and what did she model for? playboy? it had to be playboy. or perhaps floaties since she's got two gigantic floatation devices on her chest if ya know what i mean :x) was found dead and stuffed in a suitcase after checking into a hotel and the main suspect was believe it or not her 'beloved' VH1 reality-show contestant husband. her douschebag hubby apparently cut off her fingers and pulled out her teeth to throw off the case. too bad those expensive hooters paid off after all. her body was officially identified by using the barcodes on her breast-implants! suckerrrrr. fiore's husband ryan jenkins' body was found in a british columbian hotel room after an apparent suicide.
fuggin' crazy.
i also recently added two movies to my all-time favorite list: "Gia" and "The Express: The Ernie David Story". two totally different, amazing films.

gia is an older film that was originally made back in 1998 starring angelina jolie. the movie is a true life story about the "first supermodel" gia carangi who was originally from philadelphia. gia was not your average darling blonde-haired, blue-eyed trophy model. she was italian, dark hair, brown-eyes and a little rough around the edges, but on photos she transformed into something agents and industry execs had never seen before. carangi went on to new york city, signed with modeling powerhouse wilhemina models (that is still in the top 5 major agencies in the world) and took over the industry by storm. she ends up letting her crazy, wild side get the best of her, falling in love with a woman, and dying of AIDS at 26-years-old. angelina does such an incredible job in the film. (you totally see her naked too btw for any of you creeps out there into that kinda thing) but for real you should definitely see it! i cried at the end like a wuss. it's that good.
the express
when i first picked up this movie i kinda felt like i was settling for it. i hadn't really heard anything about the film and wasn't sure if it was going to be a cheap remake of something between "Remember the Titans" and "We Are Marshall". the movie ended up being amazing. as always, dennis quaid did a phenomenal job and the other (non-a list actors) did just as outstanding. the movie is about real-life aspiring football player ernie davis and his ambitions to become a professional NFL player. david ends up becoming the first african american to win the heisman trophy. the story takes back in the 60s when racial segregation are still a huge issue. i can't give the rest away because it makes it that much better.... but it's a damn good movie! check it out. get ready for a tear jerker.
