Nasty Algae Envelops Chinese Beach

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 02:00:28 +0000

Eww!
Children! What are you doing?
These little kids must be channeling Finding Nemo’s Dory because algae or not, they just keep swimming.
The green algae–known as enteromorpha prolifera–continues to spread along the waters of China’s eastern coastline of Qingdao.
Though it’s not poisonous, it can hinder the fishing industry and tourism.
Um, yah…
Come one! Come all! [...]

‘Harry Potter’ Fans Gush Over ‘Deathly Hallows, Part 2′

‘It’s really hard to say bye,’ one fan tells MTV News.

“Goodbye, childhood.”

Those two words, which one fan left behind for director David Yates during an early screening of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,” probably describe the sentiment felt by many Potterheads after they walked out of Thursday night’s midnight screenings.

MTV News took to the streets to find out what viewers thought of the final installment of the epic film franchise, and the response was as overwhelmingly positive as the critics’.

“I feel like it was a worthy completion,” said one fan, who was clad in a Gryffindor sweatshirt. “From the start it just grabs you by the neck and takes you along for the ride, and really for the last film, you can’t ask for anything more.”

His female friend agreed, saying, “It’s really hard to say bye,” before becoming choked up.

The tears were shared by both the male and female fans interviewed after the screenings of “Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” It’s a sentiment that even the “Harry Potter” stars felt, though leading man Daniel Radcliffe was glad to hear the movie got the fans choked up as well.

Favorite scenes in the film ranged from seeing Harry surrounded by all his loved ones to Neville Longbottom’s epic scene with a certain snake. One girl in Slytherin garb said she was glad that the Weasleys didn’t disappoint this time around, and particularly liked seeing Harry and his friends defending Hogwarts in the movie’s final act.

“It was bittersweet to see it end because it encompassed so much of my life,” one female fan shared with MTV. The man she was with agreed. “It was everything you could want to cap off, in our lifetime, one of the greatest film sagas ever that I’ve experienced,” he said.

“It’s not one of those things where I’m sad that it’s ending, because I know it’s not really going to end,” another fan said. “But at the same time I know it’s like closing the final chapter on my childhood.”

Send us your video review of “Deathly Hallows, Part 2″ and we just might use it on MTV News!

Angelina Jolie?s Uncle, Chip Taylor, Is a Rock And Roll Icon

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:01:18 +0000

Clearly, artistic talent runs in the family! Angelina Jolie?s dad, Jon Voight, is a renowned Academy Award-winning actor, but what is unknown to many is that Angie?s uncle wrote rock ?n? roll hits like ?Wild Thing? and ?Angel of the Morning.?

In Touch caught a phenomenal performance by Chip Taylor (formerly known as James Voight) and his band in New York City, and he sat down to talk with us exclusively about his new album, Rock and Roll Joe, and his famous niece.

?I was a kid from Yonkers, New York, who fell in love with country music,? Chip says. After a successful career as a recording artist and songwriter, penning hits for Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin and Frank Sinatra, Chip was inspired to make a record and launch a website as a tribute to honor the unsung heroes of rock ?n? roll.

?I started writing songs with the spirit of the passion and energy of rock ?n? roll that took us to where we are,? Chip adds. ?I love this album, but the thing that is close to my heart is the ?Rock and Roll Joe? website, which I?m hoping will last forever.?

Chip added that he cherishes the love and support that he gets from his brothers, Jon and Barry. ?Whenever I find myself feeling depressed, or unstable, or unsure, and I want to get grounded, I picture my brothers. I love them so much. We?re really close. I look at them and that kind of lifts me. It helps me get to the best of me. We talk all the time and there are no bigger fans of my music than Jon and Barry.?

Although Angie hasn?t been able to catch one of Chip?s shows, he?s hoping she?ll stop by. ?I would like to somehow be with her sometime,? Chip smiled. ?Tell her to come to one of my shows! That would be nice!?

Star Summer Slimdown Secrets

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 20:00:29 +0000

As Julia Roberts knows, bikini season is no time to slack off on your diet, but that doesn?t mean you need to deprive yourself of tasty treats either. So for a savory summertime snack Julia, 43, and her three kids devour homemade kale chips.

Julia?s trainer and nutrition expert Kathy Kaehler shares the recipe for the star?s favorite snack, exclusively with In Touch.

Kale Chip recipe: Pre-heat your oven to 350°.?Wash 2 bunches of kale and rip the leaves from the stems and tear into bite-sized pieces (the kale shrinks, so purchase enough if you have 4 or more people).? Place the leaves onto a cookie sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Add a dash of sea salt ? really, just a dash.?Bake for 20 minutes at 350°. The kale will crisp up and get crunchy ? just like a chip ? and will be simply delicious!?

Bonus tip: To really rev up your healthy summer lifestyle like a star, try SoulCycle. Katie Holmes, Kelly Ripa and Brooke Shields are obsessed with the 45-minute cycling session.

Here?s a rare sight: a Hollywood actress who can actually make facial expressions?

admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:00:37 +0000

Most female Hollywood stars have had so much Botox/fillers that they?ve ended up with an expressionless face that looks like it?s made from stretched rubber.

Not Cameron Diaz though; she can still pull a full range of facial expressions as she demonstrated aptly while filming scenes for her new movie Gambit (which she?s starring in with Colin Firth) in London yesterday.

It?s nice to see that not every LA star is fond of the frozen face look for a change.
