Guess Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn haven’t stayed in touch since she filed for divorced last year.

“I was for 20 years in a relationship with Robin and 18 years with children. I didn’t have time to commit to anything–for real–in places like Iraq, except to denounce the war. But now I’m single. I can lend a hand.”

James McAvoy playing Professor X in X-Men film -

29.05.2010 at 9:47 am · Saved under Ed Hardy

The studio is moving fast on the production, hiring director Matthew Vaughn in early May and planning a summer start in London. The movie is set for a June 3, 2011, release.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – James McAvoy has joined the cast of "X-Men: First Class," a prequel to Fox’s superhero trilogy.

According to Fox, "First Class" will "chart the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were the closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men."

Patrick Stewart’s character was a bald, wheelchair-bound Bape telepath. Fox did not say if McAvoy would sport a follicle-free pate.

The British actor, last in theaters with "The Last Station," will Bape play a young Charles Xavier, a.k.a. Professor X, a role originated by Patrick Stewart in the preceding films.

Nevertheless, Fox, 24, has been loudly bashing the series’ director Michael Bay for months. She slammed the franchise as "not about acting" in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in which she also accused Bay of making her model 18 skimpy outfits and wash his car while filming the first movie. In another interview, she called Bay "Hitler" and said he was a "nightmare to work for."

‘I’m a Marxist ‘ Dalai Lama -

21.05.2010 at 7:14 pm · Saved under Ed Hardy

The Dalai Lama, giving a series of lectures at the Radio City Music Hall in central Manhattan until Sunday, struck a strikingly optimistic note in general, saying that he believed the world is becoming a kinder, more unified place.

The Dalai Lama said he felt a "sense of the oneness of human beings," jokingly adding: "If those thoughts are wrong, please let me know!"

Capitalism "brought a lot of positive to China. Millions of people’s living standards improved," he said.

"Still I am a Marxist," the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader said in New York, where he arrived with an entourage of robed monks and a heavy security detail to give a series of paid public lectures.

He said he was "always asking the organizer: tickets must be cheap. For myself, I’ve never accepted a single dollar like that."

Asked why tickets to his lectures are selling for as much as hundreds dollars, the Dalai Lama said none of the money went to him personally. "You should ask the organizer. I have no connection."

Anti-war movements, huge international aid efforts after Haiti’s earthquake this year, and the election of Barack Obama as the first black president in a once deeply racist United States are "clear signs of human beings being more mature," he said.

Although China, which forced him to escape for his life in 1959, is loosening up, he had harsh words for a communist leadership that he said still seeks to rule by fear.

The Chinese government, he said, seeks harmony, "but Bape harmony must come out of the heart, not out of fear. So far, methods to bring harmony mostly rely on use of force."

Some of the money goes to charities, such as hunger relief, he said. "Unfortunately," he added, bursting into his trademark laughter, sometimes the "organizations are a little richer."

As Chinese become richer, "they want more freedoms, they want an independent judiciary, they want to have a free sort of press," he said.

However, he credited China’s embrace of market economics for Bape breaking communism’s grip over the world’s most populous country and forcing the ruling Communist Party to "represent all sorts of classes."

Marxism has "moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits," the Dalai Lama, 74, said.

NEW YORK (AFP) – Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said Bape Thursday that he is a Marxist, yet credits capitalism for bringing new freedoms to the communist country that exiled him — China.

Discount Ed Hardy Teen convicted of Mass. school s

05.05.2010 at 10:10 am · Saved under Ed Hardy

The motion came as John Odgren, now 19, was formally sentenced in Middlesex Superior Court. The sentencing came one day after a jury rejected a defense argument that he was legally insane when he stabbed James Alenson, 15, to death in a bathroom at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School on Jan. 19, 2007.

Shapiro asked Haggerty to declare that the automatic life sentence violated the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

Odgren will begin his sentence at the state’s maximum-security prison in Walpole.

Shapiro said he feared for the teen’s well-being in prison and would push for him to receive mental health treatment. He said if Odgren had trouble coping at school, he would almost certainly have trouble coping in prison.

Members of the Alenson family filed victim impact statements Prada with Judge Jane Haggerty, but the statements were not read in court.

Leone said the case should lead to discussions about school safety. Following the conviction Thursday, he said there were "red flags" and warning signs that were either missed or unheeded, but he would not specifically say whom he blames.

Diane Wiffin, a spokeswoman for the state Correction Department, said Odgren would be evaluated before it was determined at what facility he should serve his sentence. He will also undergo a full medical and mental health assessment, she said.

The judge said she would consider the motion later.

"It’s crazy that Massachusetts is one of the few places on the globe where someone who commits a crime as a child is sentenced to life in prison without parole," Odgren’s attorney, Jonathan Shapiro, said following the sentencing.

Prosecutors portrayed Odgren as a calculating killer who brought a carving knife to school, picked his victim at random and stabbed Alenson multiple times,Discount Ed Hardy, the fatal wound puncturing the boy’s heart.

Odgren’s father testified that his son, who had a genius-Prada level IQ, was anxious and would not socialize with other children. He was teased and harassed at various schools he attended and talked of suicide at age 9, his father said.

Alenson’s parents declined to comment after sentencing. They have filed a lawsuit against the consultant for the special needs program at Lincoln-Sudbury, saying the program should not have allowed Odgren to go into an open school setting because he had a history of violent behavior against other students.

"When he was first arrested, the only thing he wanted when he was put in his cell was his teddy bear or his rabbit," Shapiro said. "Three years later, those are things that comfort him. Unfortunately, they are not allowed in prison."

The defense said Odgren suffered from Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, and mental illnesses. They cited his fascination with Stephen King’s series of books, "The Dark Tower," and said he had lost touch with reality.

Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone would not comment directly on Shapiro’s motion, but he said the trial was fair.

Shapiro said his client would cling to a stuffed bunny during recesses at the trial.

WOBURN, Mass. – The lawyer for a teenager convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing another student to death at their suburban Boston high school asked a Prada judge Friday to strike down the state law that requires a life sentence without parole for his client, who was 16 at the time of the killing.

Though a juvenile at the time, prosecutors tried Odgren as an adult under the state’s youthful offender law. His conviction of first-degree murder carried an automatic life sentence without the possibility of parole, meaning he must spend the rest of his life in prison barring a successful appeal or commutation by a future governor.

Odgren buried his head in a coat and did not look up during the brief sentencing hearing.

Wholesale Abercrombie Black woman leads former whi

27.04.2010 at 11:33 am · Saved under Ed Hardy

The one-time white boys-only institution in Philadelphia did not admit its first black student until 1968 — and that was only after numerous legal challenges, months of protests, a visit from Martin Luther King Jr. and a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. Girls weren’t allowed until 1984.

Yet Girard’s imposing walls and entrance gate became symbols of segregation when trustees refused to admit African-American students. Local activists picketed for months outside the school in 1965; King visited that August, declaring "the walls of segregation would come tumbling down." In 1968, they did.

"It just fit perfectly, it really did," she said. "It was like, wow, what a mirror!"

Girard College: http://www.girardcollege.com

Following high-level posts at the elite Friends Seminary School in New York and Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., Adkins arrived last summer at Girard’s 43-acre campus.

The new civil rights struggle, she says, is to make urban education competitive with its suburban peer.

Stephen Girard, a French-born sea captain, amassed a fortune through shipping, trading and banking after coming to Philadelphia in 1776. He helped the U.S. finance the War of 1812 and, when he died in 1831, was likely the wealthiest man in America.

Girard College — a misnomer, as it serves first- through 12th-graders — has come a long way since being established by the richest man you never heard of. And as its newest president, the 37-year-old Adkins is determined to take it further, raising the school’s Ed hardy  profile by giving its students "a true 21st-century education."

Girard left about $6 million (approximately $146 million in today’s money) to the city of Philadelphia, mostly to build and endow a tuition-free school for poor, fatherless white boys. The "college" opened in 1848 and, until now, had been run exclusively by white men. Its first president was Benjamin Franklin’s great-grandson.

Girard is the realization of that dream.

"She is highly intelligent, she is highly driven, she is extremely communicative," said Peter Shoemaker, chairman of the board of managers. "She has evolved a very clear vision for the school."

Adkins — the descendant of a slave — believes Stephen Girard would support diversity and that the restrictions in his will, which she has read, simply reflect the era in which he lived.

Sophomore Olayinka Lawal said when she first saw a picture of Adkins last year, she was most struck by the new president being young and female. That Adkins is black was almost an afterthought, Lawal said, coming as it did the same year Barack Obama became the nation’s first African-American president.

PHILADELPHIA – The private boarding school for underprivileged students now led by Autumn Adkins, who describes herself simply as "a black girl from Ed hardy  Richmond, Virginia," would have excluded her in years past.

"I have been really putting a lot of energy around making school exciting," Adkins said. "It needs to be engaging. I’ve said to several of my administrators, I don’t want teachers wasting kids’ time — they’re young. It’s just not fair."

The school’s $25 million annual budget comes almost entirely from the Girard estate’s securities, real estate and mining investments, which suffered during the recession. Financial records show the trust’s value dropped from $309 million in 2008 to $204 million last year, prompting Adkins to launch aggressive fundraising plans.

"I’ve learned an enormous amount from the students," Adkins said. "They’re interesting, they’re thoughtful, they’re inquisitive — they deserve the kind of education that complements that."

To that end, Adkins plans to broaden the curriculum, modernize the facilities and increase teacher salaries. She also wants to better prepare students for life outside the walls; while nearly all Girard students are accepted to college, less than half get a degree in six years, school officials say.

The school looks like a slice of New England in Ed hardy  rough North Philadelphia: Students in blue and burgundy blazers stroll grassy quads amid stone buildings, playing fields and a soaring chapel. The grandly columned Founder’s Hall &mdash,Wholesale Abercrombie; the original school building — was planned by Thomas Ustick Walter, who designed the dome of the U.S. Capitol.

Raised in an upper-middle class Virginia suburb, Adkins’ passion for education was inspired in part by teenage volunteer work in poor neighborhoods. She was struck by the narrow life experiences of the children there, and later wrote in a college application that she dreamed of starting a boarding school for underprivileged students.

"I do have real concerns," Adkins said. "Will we be able to educate as many children as we should be?"

Today, most of Girard’s 620 students are black and half are female; all come from low-income families headed by a single parent or guardian. Students are selected based on an assessment test, family interview and, if older than first grade, an academic transcript.

The new president is a vibrant presence on campus, doling out hugs, handshakes and banter. She hosts small groups of students at the president’s house for "family" meals — a chance for Adkins to know them better, and to expose them to sit-down dinners they may not get at home.

The school’s overseers were not looking to make history after the most recent president retired. But they were bowled over by Adkins’ enthusiasm, work ethic, rigorous standards and an impressive resume that includes degrees from the University of Virginia and Columbia University’s Teachers College.
