Bibliochaise – cool chair for book lovers

March 30, 2007

I admit I am a book lover so when I see this piece of cool stuff, I became a fan instantly. This chair is called Bibliochaise and it’s a very unique and useful one at that. This chair is designed for people who love to read and want to keep their favourite books close at hand.

This Italian designed armchair library was first shown at the Salone del Mobile 2006 in Milan. The Home model measures 40,16 x 33,46 x 28,94 inches, and has 16,40 feet of space to store your books and manuals. The chair can be customized with your favourite colours, and the replaceable cushion covers also have six different colours options, so you can match the style of your house. The Contract chair is a bigger model, and is made out of your choice of wood, with leather cushions.

I can’t wait to see this one in my library. I might as well put one in my living room.


Nicole Richie and hypoglycaemia

March 23, 2007

Nicole Richie is in the news again for the same reason – her health. This girl has been known for being anorexic but of course Nicole doesn’t know about that. Everybody thinks she is too thin except Nicole herself.

Monsters and Critics has this article about Nicki’s recent medical status:

Nicole Richie’s recent collapses on the set of ‘The Simple Life’ are the result of low blood sugar levels.

The 25-year-old star was hospitalised for dehydration earlier this month and allegedly collapsed again on the set of her reality show last week.

Nicole is now said to have been diagnosed with hypoglycaemia.

Well, Nicole has got to wake up and look at herself in the mirror once and for all. She’s not fat as what she honestly believes and she needs to eat a lot to nourish herself. I sometimes can’t imagine that someone as frail as her thinks she is obese or something. I just can’t understand aneroxia and I think I will never understand it ever.

I hope she gets the help she deserves so that she can straighten up her life next.


Tyres as contemporary sinks

March 16, 2007

If you think that tires have one single use then you are wrong. Just look at the pic above to get the point. Who would have thought tires can be used as contemporary sinks. Well, Bristol and Bath just did the thinking for us and now it’s available for those who want it hip and cool.

Just sharing some random cool stuff today. Believe it or not , I actually think of buying one for my little room. The thing just looks so damn cute.


Jennifer Hudson is against nudity

March 9, 2007

I like Jennifer Hudson because she is where she is because of hardwork and sheer determination. And though Simon Cowell may not agree with me since he was quite pissed off with Jennifer treating American Idol merely a stepping stone for her career, I still believe that Jennifer deserves the fame and the perks that she is enjoying as of the moment.

Now, a recent story from I-Film caught my attention:

Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Hudson has turned down a $3 million role in a Warner Bros. movie because of a nude scene. Ready for the twist? It wasn’t Jennifer’s character that gets naked.

The Dreamgirls star says that she will never appear in a film that features nudity because she is a role model to aspiring young black women. So I guess we won’t be seeing a Jennifer Huson nude scene anytime soon. As stupid as that may be, you must applaud her for sticking to her convictions especially when a big paycheck it being flaunted under her nose.

Again, Jennifer has made a very good move. She wants to stick to her convictions and that is just remarkable for a young girl with a lot of potential. I hope she goes far in the field she has chosen.


Antonella Barba receives a cold shoulder from fellow contestants

March 2, 2007

I don’t normally watch reality shows but this year’s American Idol is quite controversial so I am quite drawn to it right now. That Antonella girl is quite pretty. She obviously doesn’t have the talent to be in the final 24 but the judges chose her anyway. And now that her sexy pictures have leaked on the internet, this poor girl must be experiencing a lot of awful things mentally and emotionally. It is amazing then to see her giving it her all despite all the issues that sorround her as of the moment.

She sang a pretty average song but still she was struggling all through it. But the worst didn’t happen during her performance. It was after the show, when all the girls are talking and giggling, and Antonella is left all alone on the side with nobody showing any interest in her. Her fellow contestants are obviously giving her a cold shoulder.

For her sake, I want her to booted out of the competition. If she remains, more and more negative things might come her way so she is better off out than endure the public’s criticism and her fellow contestant’s cold treatment.
