Brass In Pocket

Jennifer Aniston has purchased a 9,000 square foot home in Beverly Hills for $15 million dollars. The best part is that it is located about three doors down from her best friend Courteney Cox. Other celebrities that will be her new neighbors include Jessica Simpson and Sharon Stone. Meanwhile, Jenn will play a Harvard professor of psychology who makes people feel younger through the power of suggestion in this new film 'Counter Clockwise'. It is based on the real-life studies of US academic Ellen Langer, renowned for her work on the illusion of control, decision-making and ageing theories. Counter Clockwise focuses on a study Langer conducted in which she reversed the ageing process of her subjects by making them believe they were younger. Aside from Counter Clockwise, Jenn is also set to play a framed cop who attempts to break out of prison with cellmate Meryl Streep in 'Wanted'. Will be quite busy then. It's ok. Her new neighbors can help keep watch for intruders.

Anyone game for a new alcohol product? Donald Trump wants the public to drink Trump Vodka, even though he doesn't drink alcohol himself. Trump Vodka, while bearing his name, won't cross The Donald's lips, even though he called it "a major player in the vodka arena". His name on the bottle should count for something in the ultra-premium vodka market, Patrick Kenny of Drinks America Holdings Limited said because "there's nobody who markets better in the luxury category than Donald Trump". A one-liter bottle will sell for about $30. Good marketing idea? This might be the best drink to turn to for those who are down, or just got fired.


Sandra Bullock has signed on to star in Kim Barker's comedy "All About Steve," which she will produce through her Fortis Films banner. In the spec script, Sandra will play a smart yet obsessive crossword puzzle fan who stalks a TV cameraman across the country. What a weird storyline. But it surely has to be better than Miss Congie 2.

Here is Sandra arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (11/10/2006)

New songs:
>> Elize - Itsy Bitsy Spider [mp3]
>> Mareva Galanter - Bang Bang (feat Jacno) [mp3]
>> The Sunshine Underground - Commercial Breakdown [mp3]
>> Duels - Potential Futures [mp3]

Elize's new song is a little different from her previous ones, dabbling in less with electronica tunes and more into RnB. But this Dutch sensation showed her versatility and prowess with 'Spider'; thus her upcoming debut album 'In Control' should be a stormer. Fans of Nancy Sinatra should check out Mareva Galanter's version of Bang Bang, sang in French. Seeing past the funny way her guest partner says 'bong bong!', I can't stop listening to this. It is toned down a notch to create a simplistic vibe. Now, if you love your indie rock there are two bands that must be heard. First is The Sunshine Underground. Their album 'Raise The Alarm' contain dozens of catchy tunes, a highlight would be 'Commercial Breakdown'. Next band is called Duels and they looked set to dominate the NME charts sooner or later. This particular song has so much cool mystery patterns it is hard to think of a similar artist to match them. Which probably means they are in a league of their own. I'm certain it won't be another 'Boy Kill Boy' come-and-go product.

Scarlett Johansson will soon join the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, by becoming another actress turned singer. FoxNews reports, "Fear not, though. Unlike some other recent pop tarts, Scarlett can actually sing; she is no Paris Hilton. Also, her choice of material is a tad more sophisticated. She's making a whole album of songs by Tom Waits, one of the premier singer-songwriters in the business." Aaah, she can sing. Let's rewind back to her Tokyo trip then.
