As a college student this really annoyed me. In the real world you would be flunked if you pulled that.

Couldn't agree more. He just devalued the entire Master degree of that university with his BS behaviour. But then again you don't need to be a celeb to get a lucky break as a student. At my old uni some of the Profs had no problems passing idiot female students whom they had slept with. Pigs!!

The bash on Friday was the CAA Foundation & Grey Goose’s pre-Golden Globes party at Soho House in West Hollywood last night where guests sipped on Grey Goose cocktails overlooking the 360 view of Los Angeles. It’s been rumored that Cameron Diaz and Diddy have been seeing each other, and a source at the party says they definitely looked like a couple. “They were kissing, and seemed very happy together,” an insider tells us. Another odd couple there… Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. “Ashton actually was talking and hanging out with Rumer Willis for a while,” our insider says, adding that things didn’t look awkward.
Meanwhile, Michael Fassbender held court with a bevy of women on the patio while Leonardo DiCaprio and Orlando Bloom were seen chatting outside.
Also spotted: Axl Rose, Sean Penn, Miranda Kerr, Madonna, Ryan Kwanten, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr., Alexander Skarsgard, Gerard Butler, Julianne Moore, Jason Bateman, Kate Hudson, Nick Nolte and couple Salma Hayek and Francois Pinault.


Demi Moore and Ashton and Sean Penn and Madonna in the same room? Must have been awkward then :laugh:

I myself only started getting the opera mood recently. So many to discover! I heard this haunting female solo on the radio a couple of months ago and still haven't found which opera it corresponds to, which is annoying me so much! Of course, not knowing the singer's identity nor the song title but only being able to hum a couple of the bars doesn't help with Shazam/Youtube searches.

Any opera suggestions, Blueberry/Ejm? (edit: oups just saw you list a couple Blueberry. LOVE WAGNER. Tristan et Iseult - so good).

Same here: the prices even in Montreal are insane (went once only). I'm dying to go to the NY Met because if you'll splurge, you might as well splurge at the Met. And I saw an opera piece (if one could call that), in Prague's State Opera for the grand old price of 6 euros. It was surreal! And total nonsense.

Bah, I don't love rap either. I don't mind it though, it's just a personal preference. I used to pretend to listen to it in high school because everyone else did (haha: I remember that if anyone asked, I'd answer Bones Thugs n Harmony) but in reality I couldn't differentiate Master P from Funkmaster Flex.

LOL! I used to LOATHE Master P and the other No Limit rappers. P can't rap to save his life and he has nothing to 'rap' about other than bragging about his riches and bishes. Have you seen his Cribs episode? It was too bizarre tbh.

WTF is James Franco BTW?

Some actor I guess , but I don´t think I´ve ever seen him in anything.

Of course I could google him , but I don´t think it would be worth the time...

He was in the Spiderman films, Rise of the Planet of the Apes. 127 hours.
Tristan and Isolde, Milk, Eat Pray Love and Pineapple Express.

I actually think he's a pretty good actor. He's just a bit stoned most of the time, especially when he co-presented the Oscars. He was horrible.
