Utah Enforces It’s English Only Law

Utah has a state law in its books from 2000 that makes English the official language of the state and the Governor, Jon Huntsman Jr. intends to use it. He shut down a state-owned informational website because it contained Spanish. The site, www.espanol.utah.gov, was started only a few weeks ago as a Spanish language companion to the state’s official website. The site contained information on how to access services including state health and tax services. Well seems like the English only speaking population didn’t appreciate the gesture and called the Governor’s office to complain that the website violated state law.

No, your eyes don’t deceive you. Mexican actor Diego Luna is slated to play a young Michael Jackson in a new film directed by Harmony Korine called “Mister Lonely”, according to Univision.com:
It sounds incredible but it’s true: according to the Reforma newspaper, Diego Luna will play the role of Michael Jackson during his youth, though we don’t have a clue as to how he will do it. Presumably it wil be in the time after he started lightening his skin.
The premise of the film? Not easily explained, but according to Univision.com:
According to reports from the European daily Screen, Diego Luna’s character meets Marilyn Monroe (Samantha Morton) in Paris and follows her to a commune in Scotland, where they both meet Charlie Chaplin and Shirley Temple. The action eventually move to Brazil, where some missionaries get wrapped up in the comedy.
Put down the crack pipe.

Seems like Eva Longoria is desperate, desperate to get her hands into every type of industry she can. The latest bochinche is that the Texican actress is planning on penning an erotic novel. According to the Perez Hilton Eva said:
They offered a huge deal and I like the idea of seeing my book on a shelf. The plot’s top secret so far but let’s just say I have a wild imagination.
How much you wanna bet this book isn’t going to win any lit awards?
