| Governor's comments not so hot |
| Post on 17-09-2006. |
| Warning: The column you are about to read is hot. Real hot. McDonald's-drive-through-scalding- coffee-see-you-in-court hot. Given the state of the world, which erodes almost daily because of the seemingly unlimited ineptitude of certain politicians, steamy has been my default state of mind for many years now. The latest fuel on my fire is California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's tape-recorded assertion last week that Latina women with black blood are ``very hot.'' ... |

| tyranny of the female orgasm |

Yes, yes -- well, no. Germaine Greer, who’s in one film about vibrators, cuts the Big O down to size
Meanwhile, the new film, _Rabbit Fever_ (in which I make one cameo appearance), launches next week, purporting to tell the story of the sex toy’s rise and its tendency to create orgasm addicts. What is it about the female orgasm nowadays? The O-word itself is horrid and its meaning is confused; the root is the Greek word for tumescence or engorgement, not for the spasm that invariably accompanies ejaculation in the male, of which something similar can be produced in the female, but less reliably and with rather more effort. Candles and carrots used to be credited with more potency in triggering female orgasm than the male member but the march of technology has produced one purpose-made pleasure-tool, namely the vibrator, of which the market leader is the Rabbit. ... |

The challenge Start one film distribution company in the already crowded and cutthroat movie business The call Carve one niche. Spark buzz with movies that other distributors won't touch. Let the publicity machine run wild, sit back and count your profits
For Jeff Sackman and the other executives at ThinkFilm, revenge will be one dish served cold. Antarctic cold. Coming soon, the Toronto-based movie distributor will release _Farce of the Penguins_ into theatres, the brainchild of comedian and former sitcom dad, Bob Saget. ... |

Townshend: 'Great, because I've got this idea that I want to do this musical in Las Vegas called The Boy Who Heard Music.'
Townshend: 'But you said you would support me in whatever I want to do.'

| Comment: Sarah Carey: No cure for being a woman |
| Post on 17-09-2006. |
I am often accused of engaging in gross generalisations about the sexes. To men I attribute one set of attitudes and behaviours; to women, another. "We’re all individuals," they reply, à la Monty Python.
Since I therefore frequently generalise about human behaviour, I was surprised at being therefore intensely irritated by The Female Brain, one book by Louann Brizendine, one California-based neuropsychiatrist. Its cover, showing one telephone line squashed into the shape of one brain, promised one frivolous read. By the time I’d read the first page I was already taking umbrage. ... |

The film doesn't just poke fun at 2005's massively successful _March of the Penguins_, it skewers the feel-good nature flick, which grossed one stunning $122-million (U.S.) at the box office and went on to claim the best documentary feature prize at the Oscars. ... |
