Ayyyy!

Manolo says, Sit right back, and you shall hear the tale, the tale of the fateful trip…

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bought a man-made island in the shape of Ethiopia that is part of an ambitious luxury development off the coast of Dubai, a newspaper reported yesterday.

The Hollywood power couple intend to use the reclaimed piece of land to showcase environmental issues and encourage people to live a greener life, the Emirates Today newspaper said.

The couple’s purchase is part of a cluster of 300 islands, shaped like a world map, that is gradually surfacing in waters off the booming Gulf emirate. Representatives of the pair in the US and other reliable sources have confirmed the purchase.

And now they have their own island, just like the super villains!

Since the name Ethiopia is surprisingly already taken, the question now becomes, what to name this newly acquired bit of heaven?

Naturally, the Manolo has the few suggestions.

Manolo says, Jack Nicholson, is one randy Hollywood playboy.

Jack Nicholson says men act like dogs after having sex.

‘The Shining’ actor - who is famous for his womanising ways - says all guys forget about women one hour after having sex with them, just like canines.

He said: “We have more in common with a male dog than we do with a woman in this department. This may be male chauvinism in a certain context. But, baby, it’s also science!

“I don’t have much philosophy other than ‘live in the now’. And that’s very difficult to do. Don’t leave something that you really want to do undone.”

But father-of-five Jack also said his promiscuous lifestyle in the 60s could have lead to him fathering up to “9,000″ children.

He laughed: “There could be 9,000 for all I know - I used to live so freely.”

9,000 children!!! He is just like Genghis Kahn, only slightly less likely have his nomadic hoards rampage over your steppes.

MANOLO: This is not so much clothing as catafalque drapery, in technical terms, the “pall“.

SPIRIT FINGERS: But the platform sandals liven up the mood, yes? Let your shoes do all the clunking instead of the coffin!

PLUMCAKE: But how cool would it be if the top two deathruffles were convertible? Wear them ’round the shoulders and they’re stylishly appropriate widow weeds, but snap them around the waist and you’ve got a kicky post-wake cocktail number!

MANOLO: The Manolo keeps wondering, how much does that little purse weigh? What does she have in there, gold bullion?

Konstantin Stanislavsky says, “When an actor is completely absorbed by some profoundly moving objective so that he throws his whole being passionately into its execution, he reaches a state we call inspiration.”

Manolo says, now please return the other person’s coat to the closet, Little Miss Lightfingers…

Britney Spears is accused of stealing $28,200 in coats from designer Katja Berglund following her birthday party in Los Angeles.

The singer, who wore long blonde hair extensions, blew out candles on a small round chocolate cake while her guests gathered to sing Happy Birthday.

What started out as a private party hosted by Sharon Stone escalated to a full-blown birthday bash when Spears arrived with her entourage shortly before 10 PM.

[…]

Britney was seen by witnesses as she picked up four extra coats for her and her friends as they left. The group continued the party at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills which ended by 4 AM when Paris Hilton was seen leaving.

In her defense, one can understand how she did not know which coat was hers, what with the wonky eyes and all…

Manolo says, so immobile, they make the most recent incarnation of Britney Spears appear almost life like.

Manolo says, here is the cheery bit of news.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have agreed on a suicide pact - so they can both die at the same time.

Rock matriarch Sharon, who is also Ozzy’s manager, has revealed she and her husband agree they cannot live without each other, and so they’ve chosen to go to the grave together.

She explains: “Whatever it was, where you know you’re going to die, we would want to choose the time where we want to leave.

“I would go with my old man, and he would come with me… (Fortunately) my husband is better than ever, health-wise.”

But the macabre suicide pact doesn’t kick in until 2012, with busy Sharon adding she can’t contemplate taking her life “in the next five years”.

Tease!

Now if only we can convince Jack and Kelly about the importance of family togetherness.

Manolo says, even if the “father” is cadaverous.

Manolo says, the Manolo admits to being conflicted about the young actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. On the one of the hands, if Scarlett Johansson is to be believed, he loves the shoes!

And yet on the other of the hands, he is probably insane….

and given to strong drink.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, star of the Henry VIII soap opera “The Tudors,” has been charged with public drunkenness and breach of the peace at Dublin Airport, police said Monday.

Rhys Meyers, 30, was arrested Sunday after police twice confronted him over his erratic, abusive behavior at an airport gate and at a desk of the British airline BMI, on which he was planning to fly to London.

Dublin Airport Police said they called Ireland’s national police force, the Garda Siochana, after Rhys Meyers refused repeated requests to calm down.

The Irishman is drunk in Dublin? Summon the police!

Manolo says, and yet, one has to admire her single-minded devotion to “fashion”.

MANOLO: Make-a-Wish? Is it too late to hope for the return of the hoop skirt?

PLUMCAKE: She probably just thought she was granting some sick kid’s pervy dying request. Just a tip for next time Shaz, very few cancer kiddies send in notes on prison stationery.

SPIRIT FINGERS: Ta-da! Just in case you didn’t see it the first time round, back in 1992! It’s important to roll it out for each new generation you know.

PLUMCAKE: Plus it’s totally au courant. Everyone knows labia is the new black.

Manolo says, didn’t Cate Blanchett just announce she was with child last week?

Girlfriend, when you get pregnant, you get pregnant.
