Deepika Padukone on Harper's Bazaar

With summer knocking on our doors, Harper's Bazaar has decided to give size zero actresses a miss and, instead, zero in on the more 'natural' curves of Deepika Padukone.

The actress looks smokin' hot on the cover, clad in a sexy black swimsuit.

The special travel edition has tips on how to sizzle in beach wear and how to escape the heat. But we think the latter is a little redundant if Deepika is on the cover, sending the mercury rising.

Angelina Jolie wants to have more babies

Actress Angelina Jolie confessed to her close friends that she wants to have two more babies, one natural and one adopted. She already has three natural babies and three adopted.

Jolie will adopt a baby when she completes the shooting of the movie Salt. She wants the fourth adopted child to have the same background as her adopted Ethiopian daughter Zahara.

A friend said: "Angelina is absolutely loving the joys of motherhood and is keen to expand her family this year. At the moment she is renting a house in Long Island while shooting 'Salt'. As soon as that's over she is planning to fly abroad to find a new baby. When that is all sorted she has discussed finding somewhere new and interesting to live to start trying for a fourth natural baby. She is very keen to get pregnant again."

Jolie now wants to cut down on work and focus more on the family. She also wants to make just one film a year.

Anandha thandavam on April 10th

Nearly two months after it was expected to hit screens, Aanandha Thandavam has finally announced the date of its arrival, April 10. The movie was recently censored and given a U/A certificate. Based on the novel Pirivom Santhippom written by the Late Sujatha, Aanandha Thandavam will tell the story of two very different people who fall in love, but their destinies separate them and the love remains unfulfilled. But, when they least expect it, they meet each other once again. Whether the love that was once lost comes back into their lives forms the story.

Starring Tamanna and debutante Siddharth, the film has been directed by Gandhi Krishna of Chellame fame and produced by Aascar Films. With a part of the story taking place in USA, the rich visuals, especially in a few songs are expected to be highlights of the movie. G.V Prakash has scored the music for the movie.

Aanandha Thandavam will be releasing along with Vijayakanth starrer Mariyadhai and will also be Tamanna’s second release in as many weeks after Ayan that is slated for April 3rd. Aanandha Thandavam is expected to be a clean romantic entertainer for the youth this summer.

Truth in movies

I've heard of people watching movies with the express intent of trying not to be persuaded by anything communicated in them. That kind of thinking is not Reformed. Now we shouldn't be oysters and watch or suck in everything without thought. But if you're only on the defensive, you'll miss a lot of really good stuff.

I was flipping through the channels Saturday night and came across American Beauty, a movie I had already seen. Now the movie is quite disturbing, somewhat graphic, and I don't recommend it. However in the few minutes I watched, I heard something quite profound. The teenage daughter's friend said, "Don't leave, and you should listen to me because I'm your friend!" The daughter's boyfriend responded, "You're not a friend. She's just someone you use to feel good about yourself."

How many "friendships" are just relationships where one party is using the other to feel good about him/herself through physical attraction, pleasure, social status, etc....? More than half, way more than half. Like the lad in the movie, I would not call such relationship a real "friendship."

Another movie Amy and I just finished was Into the Wild. We really enjoyed this one (though we could have done without a few scenes). Throughout the movie the main character ran from material possession and relationships, finally realizing nature alone was insufficient for real joy. He wrote, "Happiness is only real when shared."

How true is that! I see so many people retreating from relationships, and they are miserable! Happiness doesn't come in isolation but in community. Throughout the movie the main character (it is a true story so that make it even cooler, or sadder I guess) has so many experiences with random people, not to mention with Alaskan scenery, flora and fauna. I kept thinking, "How miserable it would be to not share these experiences with others?"

By the end, he comes to the same conclusion as the writer of Ecclesiastes: "If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" (4:10)

Biblical truth can and will be expressed through people made in the image of God. We shouldn't be surprised to see or hear it expressed.

Helping God cross the street like a little old lady

While putting together my Keynote (Powerpoint for Mac) presentation for Christian Ed this Sunday, I listened to the new U2 album for the first time a few weeks. One of the lyrics in a song called "Stand-up Comedy," holds this thoughtful insight: "Stop helping God cross the street like a little old lady..." First of all, I think that's a hilarious image, whatever it means.

But I do think I see what Bono's getting at. There is much mystery in God, and we don't always "get" His ways. In fact we shouldn't expect to always "get" His ways, since He does remind us that His ways and thoughts are often not the same as ours; they are higher (Isaiah 55:8-9). While Bono isn't divinely inspired like the writer of Isaiah, I think he provides some helpful insight for we who are too quick to defend God's actions to others-as though we know the purpose behind them.

Sometimes we need to just say, "I don't know why He did it that way; it doesn't SEEM to make sense." Often times it is better not to defend God's actions to others (especially those suffering) as though He were a little old lady needing help some help to cross the street. We can believe He's fair and just, and at the same time say to the person questioning God, "I don't get it either." He's not a little old lady.

Technology and relationships

Kip from Napoleon Dynamite sang at his wedding, "Yes, I love technology, not as much as you, you see. But I still love technology..." For Kip, the internet allowed him to meet and marry his soul mate Lafawndah.

For our Wed night discussion at Thinktank (a group of folks from Hope and those outside the church who gather at Starbucks to discuss a variety of issues), we spent time addressing the pros and cons of technology and its effects on relationships and community. Different people had differing opinions on the benefits and detriments of the internet, but we didn't see any sort of generational consensus.

Certainly angry blog commenter guy who lives boldly behind a computer screen or anonymity is a negative. Other negatives expressed by a wide variety of ages included the potential breakdown of close intimate friendships. However, most of us did recognize that the internet actually helped to sustain relationships otherwise unsustainable due to conflicting schedules, physical disabilities, or geographic separation.

One of the most positive examples I can give on how technology and the internet has helped relationships and community is my kayak fishing forum. The online forum community does not serve as a replacement community. Instead it is only a starting place to begin and sustain relationships. Because of the forum, 50-60 men desiring relationships and community get together for fishing tournaments 4 times a year. And numbers of people build friendships through "meeting" and setting up fishing trips via the forum. I think that's a huge positive otherwise impossible without the internet.

Feel free to comment on how you see a negative/positive relationship between technology and the formation of community and deep relationships.

Listening

After fishing Friday evening with a buddy of mine (Amy was supposed to be out of town-that's not how I spend most Friday nights!) we shared some good pizza and beer. During dinner I had the opportunity to further cordially share the gospel with him.

One thing really stuck with me: since I listened to him, he told me that he was glad to listen to me. He said something to the effect of "I can talk with you about this kind of stuff."

He contrasted me with the angry fundamentalist friend, with whom he DOES NOT and CANNOT enter into dialog. Now there are some serious hang-ups with science and faith, so I suggested The Reason For God. He said he would be up for reading some of that, so we'll see. If I learned anything, listening and love (fishing=love to both of us) opens doors for pleasant and reasonable gospel conversation. Even when you bring it up without the smooth gospel transitions like I placed on the church resource table this past Sunday!

Never go against the family

A line in The Godfather reminds us to "Never go against the family." I learned that one the hard way, well of course not as hard as if I were actually in the mafia. I lost the bet. I should never have bet against my son. I should have known that this incredibly persistent child would soon be walking. But I also kind of figured betting against him was like betting against my favorite team. Either way, you win. For my punishment of "going against the family," I will now have to bake a pie. Never done that before. Still better than the original bet, which was nixed by the wife. Fortunately. Here's the video.

Bobby Moynihan - When In Rome (info)

Bobby Moynihan is going to be in a film...

When in Rome

Release Date: 7 August 2009 (USA)

Director: Mark Steven Johnson

Beth Harper (Bell) is a young, successful real estate agent ... but she's completely unlucky in love. However, when the New Yorker travels to Rome to see her newlywed sister, she impulsively steals some coins from a reputed fountain of love, and is then aggressively pursued by a band of wannabe lovers.

=====================================


The first images from the comedy When in Rome are now online as well as a mini behind the scenes set video. The flick is directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider, Daredevil) and stars Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Will Arnett, Alexis Dziena, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard, Bobby Moynihan, Danny DeVito and Anjelica Huston. It opens September 18, 2009.

Bell stars as an ambitious young New Yorker, disillusioned with romance, who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a “foolish” fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (DeVito), a street magician (Heder), an adoring painter (Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Shepard).

=====================================


On the 'When in Rome' Set with Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel!



KRISTEN BELL must fend off numerous suitors in 'When in Rome' -- including hunky JOSH DUHAMEL -- and ET is on the set of the fun romantic comedy!

"For some reason I keep doing movies with all boys; I need to do a movie with some girls, because I'm up to here with the testosterone, you know?" Kristen jokes with ET. "There's too many funny guys in this movie -- I'm really trying to compete."

The 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star plays Beth, a successful-but-single curator at the Guggenheim museum in New York City who flies out to Rome for her sister's impulsive wedding. When in Rome, Beth picks up coins from the "fountain of love" -- and soon finds a quintet of suitors waiting for her back home! Is it a blessing, or a curse?

Josh leads the pack of possibilities in Kristen's male harem, but she also has to contend with the likes of self-absorbed suitor DAX SHEPARD, WILL ARNETT, an Italian Romeo stalking her halfway around the globe, and JON HEDER, a street magician who mines his talents to try to land Beth.

"There's literally four or five of us competing for the prize," explains Josh, "and for me it's more fun that way; it's less predictable."

Kristen comments that of her co-stars, "It's difficult to act with [Will] because I just laugh through all my lines," while she sarcastically describes the handsome Josh as "really an unfortunate-looking human being."

ANGELICA HUSTON and DANNY DeVITO round out the cast of the MARK STEVEN JOHNSON-directed comedy ('Ghost Rider,' 'Simon Birch'), which is filming on location in New York and Rome.

My weakness is, "I care too much....."

A few nights ago Amy and I were watching re-runs of The Office on TBS. Funny how watching them on TBS is easy and quite enjoyable; but rarely will I ever actually put in a DVD featuring the same episode. Anyhow, Michael was interviewing for a position which appeared the obvious next step up. As I've learned in interviews, the one conducting the interview always asks you to share personal strengths and weaknesses. Micheal said, "Why don't I just tell you my weaknesses: I care too much about the company, and I work too hard. My weaknesses are my strengths."

When some of us admit our weaknesses, we may not do exactly what Michael does, but we don't do too much better. For instance, one acceptable weakness to confess is pride. It's acceptable to say, I struggle with pride. It admits nothing. But rarely do we admit how we struggle with pride. Someone asked me the other day, "How do you see pride show up in your life?" He assumed it was there, and just wanted to see how it popped its ugly head.

If an interviewer asks you a question about your weaknesses you are compelled to answer. You need to answer honestly, but there is always some fear in the back of your mind: "I need to be honest, but I don't want to tell too much and hurt my chances of getting the job."

We often look at relationships in a similar interviewing light. But when you find someone who will hear your weaknesses and not threaten you with any loss of relationship (like not being hired or being fired or looked at weirdly), it's a totally different ball game. And that interviewer/interviewed connection vanishes like the ACC in recent NCAA tournaments.

It sure is refreshing when you have relationships where weaknesses are talked about and accepted. Then you will experience the freedom and joy of the gospel far more than holding your cards too close to the vest.

Visa

I like receiving missionary prayer updates because it is very hard for me to pray generic prayers. A missionary our church supports has had serious VISA issues for some time, and I'm not talking about her credit card. The country, which shall remain nameless for her protection, is not helping matters out.

How hard would this be for a missionary? Put yourself in her shoes. You are compelled to be in a specific locale and work to translate the scriptures into the vernacular (language of the people), and yet things are becoming harder and harder to do just that. She's not praying for a Porsche or riches; she's praying for the Visa so she can translate scriptures.

This is a "What is the deal God" type moment for me, I can't imagine what its like for her! It really comes to me at an appropriate time as I've been personally wrestling with this question of "differently answered" prayers while preaching through Habakkuk (here's a sermon I preached on Habakkuk this past Sunday which some folks said they've found helpful). How it might feel like God is not on her side! But I also began to think of something like this happening to an old school missionary a long time ago: Paul. Instead of God letting him go to all the crazy places he had anticipated going, he gets locked up in a prison, spends time in house arrest, and then gets beheaded.

And yet the gospel went forth to the nations. Not my plan, but God sure did and does know what He's doing, even when it seems he doesn't.
