Actress Drew Barrymore said today on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she is donating $1 million USD to the United Nations (UN) World Food Program to help fight hunger worldwide. The World Food Program delivers millions of tons of food aid to over 70 million people in 80 countries.

It’s nice to see an actress (or actor) using their personal fortune for something other than the latest Prada bag or BMW. These people often have boatloads of money — more than they could likely spend in a lifetime — yet never put it to any good use. I applaud Barrymore for parting with such a massive chunk of money in order to help others.

If only more people in Hollywood shared Barrymore’s compassion and sense of human decency, the world could be a much better place…

The universally-accepted intelligence gauge is the intelligence quotient, or IQ, test. While a full review of the IQ test and its calculation methods is out of scope for this post, the median IQ is 100 with +/- 15 standard deviation. The further you move away from the average score, higher or lower, the more or less intelligent you are, respectively. Here is a graph that depicts the IQ scoring curve:

As you can see from the graph, the majority of the population falls between 85 and 115. Persons with IQ scores of 70 or less are said to suffer from mental retardation. Conversely, individuals with IQs of greater than 130 are said to be of superior intelligence, and the higher the score the more intelligent the person.

It is estimated that Albert Einstein, who is synonymous with the word “genius,” had an IQ of around 160. While we can’t know for sure what his IQ was, we do know for certain that he was a genius, and therefore anyone with an IQ of a similar level can also be considered a genius. Now that we have set a benchmark for the IQ level of a genius, let me introduce you to the world’s most beautiful genius: Dorota Rabczewska aka Doda Elektroda.

Doda, who came in at #2 on the top 10 most beautiful Polish women, is a famous Polish singer formerly of the band Virgin but now a solo act. In 2004, at the age of 20, Doda Elektroda joined Mensa and it was revealed that she has an IQ of 156. Mensa is a society for highly intelligent individuals, as the only membership requirement is a verifiable IQ score within the top 2% of the population. Currently, there are 100,000 Mensans living in 100 countries around the world.

UPDATE: 9/27/2007 - Phil DeFranco talks about Doda Elektroda (and links to this post) in his new video on YouTube. Thanks Phil, keep up the great work!

Here’s a clip from I believe September 14th of Bill Maher’s show on HBO in which he rips on the iPhone early adopters, whom he likes to refer to as “dip$h*ts who stand in line for six hours.”

Sorry Bill, but my *real* girlfriend actually stood in line and waited for mine. Further, the ones who went out and bought the iPhone were the ones who could afford it, the business folk not the “nerds.” So please, work on your material. It wasn’t funny to begin with, now it’s just getting downright lame.

There’s been quite a bit of harmless debate lately amongst myself and fellow bloggers about which nationality produces the most beautiful women. I have continuously argued that Polish women are the most beautiful in the world, hands down. An argument, however, is only as sound as the evidence which supports it. Therefore, I now present to you a little evidence to support my claim: the top 10 most beautiful Polish women.

Vince Vaughn is one of my favorite actors and has been at the top of the comedy game for much of this century. I think one could describe his humor as sarcastically derogatory — aka stuff guys love. As a tribute to Vaughn I have gone through many of his best films and pulled out his top 50 lines (IMO). For the sake of simplicity I have grouped them according to what movie they’re from, and the numbering system is merely a counter not a ranking as to try and rank these things would be next to impossible.

Since most of these movies are rated “R” I feel like I should throw out a little disclaimer here. So for those who get offended by profanity — excessive at times — please click elsewhere on the site.

Here now are the top 50 Vince Vaughn movie quotes:

The Break-Up

1. Gary: Is that how you want to play it? Cause I’ll play it like that. I’ll play it like Lionel Richie, all night long, lady. Oh yeah. I’ll call some guys from my neck of the woods. And we’re not talking about, Brooke, about a couple of queens who know a few grapples. We’re talking about Polacks that don’t have a goddamn future. That’s right. We can make shit real uncomfortable around here, and that’s what we’re going to do.

2. Gary: There’s a real big gap between getting your ass kicked and having a dancing, singing sprite fool you with trickery and then strike your throat before you even know you’re in a fight. But I wouldn’t expect someone like you to understand that, because all you do is make moves from up in your ivory tower.

3. Gary: Do you think there’s a chance your mom won’t love you anymore when she sees how badly you’re getting beaten right now?

4. Gary: “Band of Brothers”… you should rent it sometime

5. Gary: Please don’t touch my ruffles. Put that one back.

6. Gary: Listen, Lassie, and listen good. I’m not saying he’s not gonna get married. I’m not saying he’s not gonna have kids. If it does happen, his wife is gonna come home, and find him with his Tiajuana lover clubbing each other with Yanni’s greatest hits.

7. Gary: I’m the one who should be sorry, Brooke. I shouldn’t sit here and pick on your art, because you’ve got the ‘nuts’ down, Picasso! All you have to do is cut off your frigging ear.

8. Gary: No, I’m not crazy and a lot of times people go “Oh that’s crazy!” then they go “It’s genious!”. That’s what happened to the person who invented fire, they burned that witch and guess what, then they got warm and they ate good stuff.

Wedding Crashers

9. Jeremy Grey: That we’re all one. That separateness is an illusion, and that I’m one with everyone - with the Prime Minister of England, and my cousin Harry, you and me, the fat kid from ‘What’s Happening,’ the Olsen twins, Natalie Portman, the guy who wrote ‘Catcher in the Rye,’ Nat King Cole, Carrot Top, Jay-Z, Weird Al Yankovic, Harry Potter, if he existed, the whore on the street corner, your mother. We’re all one.

10. Jeremy Grey: That was my first Asian!

11. Jeremy Grey: [sigh] Janice, I apologize to you if I don’t seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don’t like the feeling. You’re sitting there, you’re wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I’m not really interested, should I play like I’m interested but I’m not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she’s not interested? So all of the sudden I’m getting, I’m starting to get interested… And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it’s awkward, it’s like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you’re trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don’t kiss them at all? It’s very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you’re just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called “just the tip”. Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you’re on my hair.

12. Jeremy Grey: [speaking to the priest] This girl’s fit for a strait-jacket. I mean she’s fucked three ways to the weekend. But you know what, Father? I dig it!

13. Jeremy Grey: [laughing pleasurably ] Oh, ha ha ha, he’s joking around. It feels so good when he jokes.

14. Jeremy Grey: Well snap out of it! What, a hot older women made you feel her cans? Stop crying like a little girl.

15. Jeremy Grey: Why don’t you try getting jacked off under the table in front of the whole damn family and have some real problems, jackass. Hey, what were they like anyway? They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or comfort? What’d you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat?
[makes sputtering motorboat noise]
Jeremy Grey: You motorboatin son of a bitch! You old sailor you! Where is she? She still in the house?

16. Jeremy Grey: Erroneous! Erroneous! Erroneous on both accounts!

17. Jeremy Grey: Yeah? Well, the proper girl in the hat just eye-fucked the shit out of me.

18. Jeremy Grey: I got a stage five. Virgin. Clinger.

19. Jeremy Grey: [Confessing to the priest] You wanna know what the kicker is, father? Maybe I’M a little fucking crazy. That’s right, maybe Jeremy’s a little nuts. Maybe there’s something about me that I’m a little cukoo. I know it’s a surprise, I know it’s not on the surface. I mean, I had an imaginary friend when I was kid, and his name was Shiloh! We used to play checkers with each other every day, and bless his heart, Shiloh would always let me win!

24. Peter La Fleur: Hey, White. I didn’t think that Nazi camp got out until eight. Did you decide to skip arts and crafts?

25. Peter La Fleur: You’re adopted! Your parents don’t even love you!

26. Peter La Fleur: Hang on a second. You wanna become a cheerleader to prove you are not a loser?

27. Peter La Fleur: Absolutely. In some cases, there’s two somebodies for one person. I like to call that “the jackpot”.

28. Reese Feldman: Ya know, I believe it was our buddy Bill Shakespeare who said, “To err is human, but to forgive, well that’s right on.”

31. Beanie: Well why don’t you give me your number in case anything happens to my wife.

32. Beanie: Whoa. Whoa. Why the F-ing? Why in front of the kid? All ya gotta do is say “earmuffs” to him, and you can say “Fuck, shit, bitch.”
Frank: Cock. Balls.
Beanie: I’m just trying to make a point, Frank. You don’t have to celebrate it.

33. Beanie: Yeah, that’s it. I got a student alt rock band coming on next. Mitch, I own six speaker cities. I am worth three a half million dollars that the government knows about. I got more electronics up there than a damn KISS concert. you think I’m gonna roll out this type of red carpet for a fucking marching band? Just make sure you can see the stage.

And you’re thinking to yourself, you don’t know what to do, man. “I don’t know how to kill the bunny.” With *this* you don’t know how to kill the bunny, do you know what I mean?

42. Trent: You’re so money and you don’t even know it!

43. Trent: All I do is stare at their mouths and wrinkle my nose, and I turn out to be a sweetheart.

44. Trent: I don’t want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone’s *really* hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you’re not sure whether or not you like yet. You’re not sure where he’s coming from. Okay? You’re a bad man. You’re a bad man, Mikey. You’re a bad man, bad man.

45. Trent: There’s nothing wrong with letting the girls know that you’re money and that you want to party.

46. Trent: Hey! What’re you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I’ll ask! Ma’am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?

50. Trent: Score Chicago!

Trent: Well that’s why they put the instant replay in the fucking game! So you can see if it’s bullshit!
Sue: You’re unbelieveable.
Trent: Well you know something, I am unbelievable.
Sue: [Trent shoves Sue] Don’t fucking touch me.
Trent: When I’m not here will you practice?

Feel free to chime in with which ones are your faves or add any that I may have missed.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rejected an offer by American — and Oscar winning — film director Oliver Stone because he is part of the “Great Satan,” according to a semiofficial Iranian news agency.

Mehdi Kalhor, media adviser to the Iranian President, was quoted by the Fars agency on Sunday as saying “I sent a negative answer by Ahmadinejad to Oliver Stone.” He added that it is true Stone is a member of the opposition to the U.S. government, but nonetheless he is still part of the evil American machine.

“It is right that this person is considered part of the opposition in the US, but opposition in the US is a part of the Great Satan.”

The whole “Great Satan” verbiage dates back to the time of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who referred to the United States as the Great Satan in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran.

I think this is a stupid move on the part of Iran, especially given Ahmadinejad’s love for manipulating public perception through propaganda. Recall that he has sent letters to not only President Bush but also the American people, trying to achieve a mutual understanding. He has also challenged President Bush to TV debates, which obviously the White House has denied. Making a film with Oliver Stone would give him unprecedented access to the American public, because Big Media wouldn’t be able to censor it.

The only way for peace is diplomacy and negotiations, and with the Neo-Cons banging the Iran war drums this couldn’t be a more timely opportunity for tensions to get diffused.

Jessica Alba is arguably the most beautiful woman to ever show up on the big screen (I can say this safely because my girlfriend would agree with me). Although she currently enjoys a significant other, she is not engaged, and thus still technically on the market by default. But what does it take to date such a bombshell as Miss Alba? For that, let’s go to Jessica herself and see what she says.

Alba has recently spoken publicly about her checklist for eligible bachelors, so without further ado let’s examine the criteria. First, to date Miss Alba she says you need to give her space, make her laugh, and *gulp* be in touch with your feelings — no small task for men reading this worldwide.

“Firstly, anyone in a relationship with me has to learn that I’m just not going to be around all the time … I love funny guys and I like a guy to be romantic and to be in touch with his feelings.”

While this can be a major hurdle for a lot of us men to overcome, once you are able to live up to this standard the rest of the way is smooth sailing, as Jessica’s only other requirement is that you are able to be buddy-buddy with her Dad.

“He’s also got to be able to watch sport and hang out with my dad.”

Now that’s something we are all capable of doing. Then again, if her Dad is like the guy in the T-Mobile myFaves commercial who give continuous dirty looks to the boy about to take his daughter out, things could prove to be interesting.

In reality her demands really are pretty easy to meet, as these are pretty much requirements that any respectable woman would ask of a suitor. The key difference here being that, obviously, it’s Jessica Alba. It might as well be a Victoria’s Secret model, as they are very close to the same thing. So buckle down guys, and try to show that sweet, soft side if you are able to find it. The reward for doing so just might be Jessica Alba.

In a phone interview from the medical wing of her Los Angeles jail on Sunday Paris Hilton told Barbara Walters that she has found God and that she’s not the same person she used to be. She claimed that her reckless behavior and sexual scandalousness was all an act, and that the act was no longer cute and it was time to shape up and start being a positive role model for young girls around the world who look up to her.

“I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance.”

Hilton added that she feels like destiny has brought her to where she currently resides: a jail cell. She claims that God has released her. “My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail.”

Now we have to take this with a grain of salt and say is this for real? I would be the first one to applaud her if this were true, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see once her prison term expires. We ought to be careful though, as this would be a quick and easy way to get out of what she has done (not from prison itself, but in the minds of the American public).

She claims to be interested in doing work for the fight against breast cancer or multiple sclerosis. I hope she’s not blowing smoke up everyone’s tail pipes and returns to old her old “socialite” ways when she gets out. This is a woman who has an extraordinary amount of potential to do good in the world, probably second behind Angelina Jolie. So here’s to hoping she actually has found God and gets her act together…

If you’ve been living on planet Earth the past 48 hours you’re well aware of the whole Paris Hilton ordeal — released from prison for “medical” reasons, sent back to court, re-sent to prison. If you haven’t, then welcome, make yourself at home. But that isn’t what interests me. What interests me is a quote released by Miss Hilton in a statement today which, to my amazement, just might show that she does indeed have a heart and that she actually knows something about what’s going on in the world.

Could we already be seeing positive changes in her life as a result of prison punishment? Here’s the quote, you decide:

“I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world.”

Wow, I must applaud Paris on this one. While I’ll still bet my life savings that she can’t locate Iraq on a map, it’s nice to see her putting in some effort to bolster appreciation and concern for US troops stationed around the world. However you and I are more likely to win the lottery, twice, before the paparazzi packs up in Hollywood and deploys to Baghdad.

Celebrities often mistakes themselves for politicians, and seem to think that the rest of the world actually cares remotely about what they think on ethical and social issues. The reality is that celebrities are usually famous for reasons that are anything but moral and righteous. Here is yet another instance of such an occurrence.

Gisele Bundchen, one of the most famous supermodels on the planet, joined the birth control and sexual behavior debate in Brazil today, declaring that Catholic church opposition to condom use was “ridiculous” and that a woman should have the right to choose on abortion.

“Today no one is a virgin when they get married … show me someone who’s a virgin!”

Last month Pope Benedict visited the country and outlined the church’s firm opposition to abortion and contraception, in addition to speaking out against sex outside of marriage. Since then Brazil, the world’s largest Catholic country, has been embroiled in debate over sexual issues.

Bundchen claims that when the church made its laws centuries ago women were expected to be virgins. My question is what gives her the authority to speak openly about the historical ideology of the Catholic church? The church’s policies on issues such as pre-marital sex and abortion are longstanding and certainly won’t be changing anytime soon with conservative Pope Benedict at the helm, who was often at odds with the late Pope John Paul II’s efforts to modernize church policies.

Sorry Gisele, I used to like you, but now you’ve become yet another hypocritical celebrity that thinks they can use their star power to influence people into thinking the way you do. I do not know if Gisele herself is a Catholic, so I won’t bother going into a tirade on that, but her boyfriend Tom Brady is a strong self-proclaimed Catholic, which if that holds true this should certainly ruffle some feathers in their relationship.

Although she has a fan base of millions worldwide, she can’t come close to the influence and reach that Pope Benedict has over a billion Catholics around the world. So do yourself and us a favor Gisele, keep your religious views to yourself, nobody else — especially Catholics — wants to hear them.
