Here's a beautiful video of people in France singing the American national anthem. It's part of an effort by some leading film-makers to change the way we view people in other countries. It's one of several films to be shown on Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world comes together through film".

We'll be seeing Brad Pitt on this Wednesday's American Idol Gives Back show. The crowd applauded him wildly when the show taped last night at Hollywood's Kodak Theater (see photo below).

Later this year he'll be starring in a movie about reverse aging.

Britni, age 20, has wanted work done on her nose for a few years and last month she got her wish. She's started a blog journal to write about the operation and the healing process. The photo you see here is from before her surgery. She's got lots of 'after photos' up now and it's been less than two weeks since her surgery. Check out her Plastic Surgery Journal here.
