And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Must Watch: Christian Dior Brings Back Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe

I saw this really cool video a few days before Ryan and I left for our vacation and didn't get to blog about it.  Well, there's no time like the present. 
The very beautiful Charlize Theron was recently featured in a Christian Dior ad with some very popular leading ladies from the past - Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe.

I think it's absolutely amazing that with today's technology we can bring back people from the past, at least through film.  And I'd have to commend the producer for adding Beth Ditto to the ad, her voice was a great accompaniment.

Seven Dwarfs or Seven Shaolin Monks? Take your pick.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but its true.  There are three versions of Snow White slated to be released in 2012.  Which one will you be seeing?

The Brothers Grimm are in talks with Julia Roberts to star as the Evil Queen, in this 3D version of the film.  It will supposedly be the truest telling of the Snow White fable.  You know??? The one where the evil queen has Snow White's father killed and Snow finds her seven dwarfs to form an army? Someone has to takeover the kingdom.

In other news... Charlize Theron is set to play the evil queen in Universal's project, Snow White and the Huntsman.  I have no idea why they are casting Kristen Stewart as Snow White, but to each their own.  I believe this version should have been where the Huntsman (Viggo Mortensen) goes after Snow White to kill her, rip her heart out, and such, but decides to let her go.  According to some news sources, they will be using a more friendlier approach, and have the Huntsman befriend Snow White.

And finally, in the third project, Disney decides to produce Snow and the Seven;  Supposedly in the works since 2004.  This one makes no freaking sense! We already have Mulan, why bring Snow into Chinese culture? Snow White who lives in Britain goes to her father's funeral in Hong Kong when she realizes the evil queen is trying to have her killed and escapes to China.  Seven Shaolin monks train Snow to overtake the Queen.
