Disney Pixar Now Promises The ‘Integrity & Appearance’ Of Princess Merida Will Be Kept Intact

It Looks Like the Protest was a Success
Posted by: Trent on May 18, 2013| Leave a comment

Earlier this month the Walt Disney Company crowned Brave character Princess Merida as its 11th Disney Princess and celebrated by giving the character a makeover that slimmed her down and “sexed” her up. As a result, angry fans launched a public protest of the changes and demanded that Disney Pixar undo the changes to the character so that she can “exist” as non-glam character she was created to be. Today we hear from Disney Pixar officially on Facebook that they are listening to the fan backlash and have promised that the “integrity and appearance” of Princess Merida will NOT be changed after all. I’d say that the angry fans handily won this battle. Click below to read the full text of Disney Pixar‘s Merida statement. More »

Yes, Please

View the Gallery / 9 Photos »

So … you’re gonna hafta indulge a bit of gratuitousness in this post but … when I came upon these new photos of British Olympic diver Tom Daley doing his thing at a training facility in Fort Lauderdale, FL yesterday … well … I simply had to share the wealthy. Altho I’m not a big sports person, there are some sports that catch my eye from time to time. I become a hockey fan when my beloved Detroit Red Wings make the playoffs, I become a baseball fan anytime I go to the ball park (either here in LA, at home in Detroit or on vacay in NY) and I’ll be a soccer fan as long as David Beckham still plays professionally. Tom Daley had made me a bit of a diving fan because, well, it’s a fun sport to watch. Click thru the gallery to see Daley in action as he practices his diving skills. I think these photos might make you a bit of a diving fan as well ;)

Le Sigh

His extreme hotness Ryan Gosling is currently in Detroit, MI directing his first film How to Catch a Monster and lest you think Gosling is the kind of director who sits his butt on a chair while everyone else does the manual labor around him, I have a few photos to share with all y’all to show that that is not the case. Over the weekend, Ryan was spied doing quite a bit of heavy lifting on set because that’s just the kind of guy he is. It might not sound all that exciting … but when you see the photos, I think you’ll find all this heavy lifting a lot more exciting than you may have thought. More »
