<title>MTV Awards Best and Worst Dressed</title>
<link>http://www.newsflavor.com/Entertainment/MTV-Awards-Best-and-Worst-Dressed.133414</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>If you watched the recently aired MTV Movie Awards you probably noticed how bad some celebrities dressed while others dressed very well and fitting for the occasion.</p>
 
<p>Sarah Jessica Parker who came out in order to help promote her recently released film Sex and the City, wore a grayish black dress. It was so tight that I am surprised she didn't bust out of it. With her legs separated in many photos you can see right through the short skintight dress. She wore white high heel boots that simply didn't match with the dress. They were two completely different styles. She walked awkwardly in the boots and in the dress. Very poor choice.</p>
 
<p>Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce and Demi) showed up in everything black. Her hair was dyed black and it matched the dress and shoes she was wearing. It was a boring dress that brought her pale skin even more. It was something you wouldn't wear to an MTV award show.</p>
 
<p>Jennifer Hudson wore a white form fitting dress with a pink belt and a pink halter showing out from the white top of the dress. It was a nice dress that you could wear out on a lesser known occasion. She looked very elegant yet when she stood next to tiny, frail Sarah Jessica it looked as though Jennifer suddenly became a monstrosity. She appeared bigger since the dress was white; she was on television, and then standing next to someone that is as big as a wafer made Jennifer look tremendous.</p>
 
<p>Charlize Theron is a beautiful woman who showed off how thin she really is in one weird yet superhero type of outfit. In fact the tan colored top was really too low and emphasized her small breast size when it was actually supposed to enhance them. Her stiletto shoes were awful with the front lining and four straps to buckle. It all looked a bit odd.</p>
 
<p>Lindsay Lohan wore a purple bluish strapless mini dress that was enhanced with a black belt. This folded up dress could have made a statement but it was entirely too short for her pale legs.</p>
 
<p>Paris Hilton came in a short black and white dress. The black consisted of lace and paisley pattern while the white remained plain. It was elegant and simple. For once she wasn't over the top. The only problem was her boney feet that were very evident in her black high heeled shoes.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FMTV-Awards-Best-and-Worst-Dressed.133414"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FMTV-Awards-Best-and-Worst-Dressed.133414" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Why is Scarlett Johannson Singing?</title>
<link>http://www.newsflavor.com/Entertainment/Why-is-Scarlett-Johannson-Singing.127945</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>I am not much of a fan of Johnansson's acting so I was hoping to like her singing. She tends to rely on her beauty more than anything and a real actress will take on roles that are a bit more challenging to her skills.</p>
<p>"Falling Down" is a single off of Johnansson's album "Anywhere I Lay My Head." Johansson came up with the idea to do an album based on Tom Waits songs. I listened to "Falling Down," hoping I would enjoy it, but I didn't. I was bored by her slow monotone voice and the lack of real music. The lack of arrangement in the music makes it completely hard to listen to. Johansson's voice is unbearable to listen to. She sounds as though she doesn't care about what she is doing or singing about. She seems to want to walk through her singing like she does her acting. It just isn't that easy. A real artist will love what they do and want to bring out their message to their audience. Many times a singer wants to tell you a story and it just doesn't happen here. I think there was a story trying to be told, but when you have someone singing or talking through the words with no emotion it is kind of hard to relate.</p>
<p>Watching the video was just as bad. It basically covered a day in the life of Scarlett Johansson and what a hard life it is. The poor girl gets up, gets in a car to go to a photo shoot, does an interview, then she is driven back to her hotel room as she stares out the car window. Could you imagine how upset she would be if she had to live in the real world? I couldn't understand where she was going with this video and it didn't seem to match up with the song.</p>
<p>I would not recommend listening to "Falling Down" or watching the video. It isn't entertaining to listen to or watch and is quite frankly a bore. If you want to listen to something to put you to sleep then I would recommend this song. Otherwise check out the new song "Take a Bow" by Rihanna if you want to hear something worth your time.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FWhy-is-Scarlett-Johannson-Singing.127945"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FWhy-is-Scarlett-Johannson-Singing.127945" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>The Meaning Behind Cinco De Mayo</title>
<link>http://www.newsflavor.com/World/Latin-America/The-Meaning-Behind-Cinco-De-Mayo.126723</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Cinco De Mayo is celebrated across the United States as a celebration of the Mexican culture including its music and food. May the 5th isn't mostly celebrated in Mexico in the city of Pueblo but it isn't a federal holiday. Many Americans tend to believe that Cinco de Mayo is the Independence Day for Mexico when in fact it isn't. The actual day of independence is September 16th. That is a federal holiday in Mexico.</p>
 
<p>In 1810 Mexico fought to become a free nation from under the ruling of Spain. They endured 10 years of battle. Through this they received loans from France and England. After winning the battle against the Spanish rule, Mexico received loans from Spain as well. From the debt of the war, Mexico was unable to pay these countries back which led to them being pursued by England, France, and Spain once more. They wanted land or money to compensate what they owed. Instead Mexico offered payment warrants and England and Spain accepted. France, however, did not. They sent six thousand troops to battle in Puebla.</p>
 
<p>The Mexican's beat the French despite not having as large of an army as France in 1862. They were determined to keep their freedom. This was where the celebration of May 5th or Cinco de Mayo came about. It is in celebration of their freedom. However, three days later they found themselves in trouble again with the French as the French army succeeded in their battle. They appointed Maximillian as Emperor of Mexico. Benito Juarez regained power about a year later and had Maximillian sentenced to death. He in turn, restored the Mexican government and reorganized his administration.</p>
 
<p>Every year on May 5th each state in America has celebrations for the Mexican heritage. There are many celebrations alike for the German, Irish, Asian cultures as well. This is a day that Americans turned into more of a celebration of culture rather than a day that the Battle of Puebla was won by Mexico. If you go to one of these festivals you will notice they will focus a lot on music, dance, and food. Mexicans love to celebrate big especially when it has to do with their culture. The city of Puebla in Mexico celebrates this day more so than the rest of the country.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FWorld%2FLatin-America%2FThe-Meaning-Behind-Cinco-De-Mayo.126723"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FWorld%2FLatin-America%2FThe-Meaning-Behind-Cinco-De-Mayo.126723" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Maxim Chooses Their Top Sexiest Women</title>
<link>http://www.newsflavor.com/Entertainment/Maxim-Chooses-Their-Top-Sexiest-Women.126686</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Maxim recently released their picks for the Hot 100 list. This is a list of women who they consider to be the sexiest women of 2008. I took a look at this list and was surprised to see some of the names they chose to put on and even more surprised of the women they left off. As usual I have my thoughts about their choices and where they placed them.</p>
<p><strong>20.</strong> Jennifer Love Hewitt</p>
<p></p>
<p>Disagree: I can see her being put on the list but I don't see her being at number 20. She can be irritating when she continues to try to act cuuuuute.</p>
<p><strong>19. </strong>Britney Spears <br /><br />Agree: I am not surprised Britney made the top 20. She can be a hot tamale when she wants to be.</p>
<p><strong>18. </strong>Ashlee Simpson <br /><br />Disagree: Totally disagree with this one. I don't know how she even made the list. Her sister Jessica was put at 53 which makes no sense. In comparison, Jessica eludes sexiness while Ashlee seems to still be growing up.</p>
<p><strong>17. </strong>The Pussycat Dolls <br /><br />Disagree: I didn't know that all of them could count for one, but whatever.</p>
<p><strong>16. </strong>Megan Fox <br /><br />Agree: She is probably best known for her role in Transformers. She is really too thin but she has the classic combination of beauty with greenish blue eyes and dark hair. She was number 18 last year.</p>
 
<p><strong>15.</strong> Rihanna<br /><br /> Agree: She is a beautiful woman and deserves to make it in the top 20.</p>
<p><strong>14. </strong>Beyonce <br /><br />Disagree: She is really becoming more annoying than anything else. She should be much lower than top 20</p>
<p><strong>13. </strong>Hayden Panettiere<br /><br /> Disagree: I have to admit I cannot stand this girl. She came to fame on the television show Heroes and she has one of the worst personalities in Hollywood. She reminds of the girl in high school that thinks she is better than everyone else when she isn't even close.</p>
<p><strong>12.</strong> Vanessa Hudgens <br /><br />Disagree: She is a young girl that is still growing up. Should she really be put on this list? She is famous from the High School Musical and is releasing her debut album. She doesn't need to be placed on this list.</p>
<p><strong>11.</strong> Charlize Theron<br /><br />Agree: She is rail thin but she has a beautiful face and personality that makes you like her.</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> Ashley Tisdale <br /><br />Disagree: She is another girl from the High School Musical. She is very ordinary and doesn't offer the sexiness Maxim is supposed to be looking for. Plus she is still a teenager.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> Lindsay Lohan <br /><br />Disagree: She made the number one spot last year. I guess they felt generous? I would have had her placed in the top 10 last year and in the top 50 this year. She is a mess.</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong>Christina Aguilera<br /><br /> Disagree: This girl has been about sex for years and she only landed number 8?</p>
<p><strong>7</strong>. Eva Mendes Agree: She is one of the best looking women around in Hollywood. I can see her being in the top 10.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> Elisha Cuthbert</p>
<p>In the middle on this one: I'm not too familiar with who Elisha so I can't say if I agree or not since I don't know enough about her to have an opinion.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> Sarah Michelle Gellar</p>
<p>Disagree: I don't see why Sarah was put in the top 10. She could be listed in the 50's but how do they think she should be number 5?</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Eva Longoria</p>
<p>Agree: Despite how tiny she is, Eva makes sure she is seen in her popular role as the former model in Desperate Housewives. Her personality is very likeable and she has one of the prettiest faces around.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Jessica Biel</p>
<p>Agree: She has been around for years appearing on 7th Heaven and has developed a great movie career. She has always been beautiful and I'm glad she if finally being recognized for it.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Scarlett Johansson</p>
<p>Disagree: I don't think she should have made the list. She doesn't have a sexy appeal and the men I know find her unappealing.</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Marissa Miller</p>
<p>Disagree: She a supermodel that may deserve to be in the top 20 or even the top 10, but by no means she should be considered the sexiest woman of the year.</p>
<p>Other great picks would have been better such as Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry. Where were they? Are they considered too old and too pregnant? They elude more sexiness than most of these women combined. I don't think this list is accurate.</p>
<p>Mariah Carey (71), Julianne Hough (30), Drew Barrymore (40), and Cameron Diaz (26) all placed too low. These women deserve to be placed in the top 20 and replace the likings of Johansson, Ashlee, Lohan, Tisdale, The Pussycat Dolls, Beyonce, and Hayden to name a few.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FMaxim-Chooses-Their-Top-Sexiest-Women.126686"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newsflavor.com%2FEntertainment%2FMaxim-Chooses-Their-Top-Sexiest-Women.126686" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
