Indiana Jones and Peru
I saw the newest movie few days ago, excited to know that this time they were going to talk about my country.
It may be a fiction movie, but I honestly think that every director, writer or whoever is in charge of the plot, should do their homework and learn more about the culture, the people, the music, and most of all the geography of the country they will talk about in their movies.
I mean we are talking about “professionals” who will get paid millions for making good movies for the audience. And I think that audience and fans deserve better.
Here a few of the unbelievable mistakes from the last Indiana Jones movie:
-The Nazca Lines are located in Nazca- Peru a west coast city, and not in Cuzco a south-east city, as they say in the movie.
-The music that is played while they landed in Peru, at an airport that doesn’t exist, is a Mexican “ranchera” music.
-In the movie Indiana mention that he learned Quechua (a native Peruvian language spoken by the Incas) from Pancho Villa, a Mexican revolution hero.
-The pyramid of Chichen Itza is located in Mexico and not in the Peruvian jungle.
Anyway I can go on with the list, but I dont want to ruin the “magic” of the Indy’s movies.
In my opinion, I wont recommend the movie because I think they don’t respect the audience enough to get a 3rd grade History book or to “google” it and study more about my beautiful country and my culture.

Juan Diego Florez, Peruvian Pride!
Juan Diego Florez a peruvian tenor, is one of the most recent names to appear on the international opera scene, yet he is already making a name for himself as one of the most important tenors of today. Florez is a curious talent with an extraordinary agile voice and by many considered the most solid tenor around.
In Florez, opera critics have seen the lost link to the great tenors of the past and marvel at his stylish singing and the solid evenness of his instrument.
The 35-year-old tenor, who has been called the successor of Luciano Pavarotti, is featured in the New York Times following his history making solo encore, something not done since Pavarotti performance in 1994.
The Times have called it “one of those thrilling moments that opera impresarios live for.”
“It was Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez as the lovesick Tonio who brought the crowd to its feet late in Act 1 on Monday night by sailing with ease through the nine high Cs in the aria, “Ah! mes amis…Pour mon ame” — and then singing it a second time.”
Kate Hudson, People’s ‘most beautiful’ cover girl
Actress Kate Hudson has been named top of People magazine’s annual “100 Most Beautiful People list,” the celebrity magazine announced on its website Wednesday.
The 29-year-old single mother and Oscar-nominated star of “Almost Famous” told People that growing up she had never paid much attention to her appearance.
“I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises,” Hudson said.
Even now, Hudson says she doesn’t spend much time on pampering herself.
“I don’t even remember the last time I got a manicure,” said Hudson, who has a four-year-old son, Ryder, with her ex-husband, Black Crowes front-man Chris Robinson.
“I even got to the point where I started waxing my own legs because I don’t have the time. I’d rather be home with Ryder sitting there waxing my legs. I haven’t gotten a facial in a million years. I don’t do those kinds of things.”
Hudson is the daughter of Goldie Hawn, an Oscar-winning comedienne and Hollywood starlet of the 1970s and 1980s.
Other stars on the “Most Beautiful” list include Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, Tony Parker and Julianne Moore.
The full list is published in People’s next edition which hits US news stands on Friday.
Miley Cyrus’ Vanity Fair Photos of Scandal!
Yes, the 15-year-old star sure is growing up fast!, maybe a little too fast?
Obviously I understand why a desperate Disney ordered Miley Cyrus to issue her lame public apology, given the fact that their billion dollar Hannah Montana brand caters to a very conservative market…
Oh c’mon people! Leave Miley alone!!!
Ooops 
New Sexiest Woman Named
A new star jumps 64 places to knock Jessica Alba from the top spot in an annual online poll.
Yes guys, actress Megan Fox was named the world’s sexiest woman on Wednesday by an annual online poll , while the world’s most Googled woman, Britney Spears, barely scraped in at No. 100 after a shocker of a year.
Fox, 21, who starred in last year’s hit movie “Transformers,” grabbed the title from actress Jessica Alba, 26, topping online men’s magazine FHM Online’s reader poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2008.
Alba dropped to No. 3, coming behind American actress and former model Jessica Biel but ahead of Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert who was ranked fourth after appearing in horror movie “Captivity” last year. U.S actress and singer Scarlett Johansson, 23, rounded out the top five.
“Megan Fox is the deserving winner of this year’s FHM title. She’s young, she’s hot, she’s a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this year’s list. She’s got a great future ahead of her,” said FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell.
Fox debuted on the list at No. 68 in 2006 and was ranked No. 65 last year. But playing the lead female role in “Transformers,” a blockbuster $700 million hit at worldwide box offices, markedly raised her profile.
Also in the top 10 were Emmanuelle Chriqui, Hilary Duff Tricia Helfer, Blake Lively and Kate Beckinsale.
Newcomers to the list included Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice from British pop band the Spice Girls, who moved to Los Angeles with her husband, English soccer player David Beckham, last year. She made her debut at No. 99.
Spears, 26, whose career has been buried under an avalanche of personal and mental health problems, managed to make the list at No. 100, a steep decline from 2004 when she was voted the world’s sexiest woman.
FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll is now in its 14th year with nearly 9 million votes cast this year by FHM readers worldwide to choose the sexiest women in film, television, music, sports, and fashion.
This year’s list also included reality TV stars to reflect the genre’s increasing popularity with three girls from the “The Hills” making the list, including Heidi Montag at No. 44 and Audrina Patridge at No. 80 and Lauren Conrad at No. 95.
From “Dancing with the Stars,” actress Shannon Elizabeth returned to the list at No. 46 after being absent last year. She was joined by Cheryl Burke at No. 40 and Karina Smirnoff at No. 78, who made their debuts.
“It’s no surprise to us that so many reality stars made this year’s list,” said Futrell. ‘The Hills’ is one of the most popular shows on MTV, and ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is the No. 2 reality show in America after ‘American Idol.’ We expect even more to be added next year.”
