Simpson's 'eat meat' shirt blasted by Peta

Jessica Simpson has been blasted by animal rights group Peta after wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Real Girls Eat Meat'.

The blonde beauty - who famously questioned why tuna was nicknamed 'chicken of the sea' on her reality TV show Newlyweds - has come under fire from the animal rights group, who have urged her to become a vegetarian to increase her brain power.

A spokesperson for Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said: "Jessica Simpson's meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken of the sea anyone?

"The woman who thought that Buffalo 'Wings' came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food."

However, it has been claimed Jessica wore the T-shirt to poke fun at her boyfriend Tony Romo’s ex-girlfriend Carrie Underwood, who has twice been named the World’s Sexiest Vegetarian by Peta.

A source said: "Jessica is sick of hearing about how Tony still has feelings for Carrie. She's obviously trying to poke fun at her rival and let her know who really has Tony's heart."

Carrie is such a strong believer in vegetarianism she once said: "If you told me I could never sing again, I'd say that was horrible, but it's not my life. If you told me I could never be around animals again, I would just die."

"(But) those films were inspiring to me in terms of deciding to take The Incredible Hulk."

His poems experience given voice to a nation and helped hammer an solely modern music genre of music, dub/rhythm poesy. Revolutionary, ardent, scathing, and stinging, Mutabaruka's wrangle ar as powerful on paper as on CD, and so the literary biotic community needful to create a fresh term but for his full treatment -- meta-dub. Born in Rae Town, Jamaica, on December 12, 1952, Allan Hope number one realised the great power of the word when he was in his teens. It was the '60s; the Black Power cause was at its meridian, and legion free radical leaders were putt their thoughts and histories in print. Malcolm X and Eldridge Cleaver formed the roots of Hope's have aspirations, although his initial calling choice was far removed from their paths. Leaving school, the edward Young man apprenticed as an electrician, and took a job at the Jamaican Telephone Company. Hope was already penning, nevertheless, and in 1971 he foreswear his job to pursue his craft full-time. He affected away from the bustle about and bustle of Kingston out to the quiet of the Potosi hills, in the parish of Saint James. Not farseeing after, nonpareil of his poems was recognized by Swing magazine and from that gunpoint on, they would regularly publish his cultivate.


In 1973, Hope formed the band Truth, his number one attempt to conflate his run-in with music. By at present, the poet had converted to Rastafarianism and taken the advert Mutabaruka. Not a word, just a phrase, mutabaruka comes from the Rwandan speech and translates as "peerless wHO is always victorious." Even as roots was taking hold, Truth did non regain a undermentioned. However, Mutabaruka was finding fans in the literary existence after the publication of his collection, Outcry, in 1973. The next year brought further recognition with the verse form "Wailin',"dedicated to Bob Marley, and written around Wailers song titles. Two age later, Sun and Moon, a divided up loudness of poesy with Faybiene, arrived to practically acclaim. In 1977, Mutabaruka once over again turned to the stage, and gave several alive performances. Joined by the nyabinghi-fueled radical Light of Saba, the poet recorded a reading of his poem "Outcry" the side by side twelvemonth, and institute himself with a Jamaican hit. Meanwhile, guitar player Earl "Chinna" Smith had launched his have High Times label as a home for deep roots music, and swiftly signed the poet. Mutabaruka's star was rising, and his appearance at the National Stadium in Kingston this same year was a shattering achiever. Over the next few age, he cut a clasp of singles for High Times, and received even further literary clap in 1981 with a new volume of poems, The Book: First Poems. That same year, Mutabaruka had a hit with the undivided "Everytime a Ear De Soun," piece his flaming debut at Reggae Sunsplash was captured for posterity for a lively record album released in 1982. It was this performance that brought Mutabaruka to international attention, and guaranteed return appearance at the fete over the following two years.


His debut album, Check It, was released in 1983, a dubby classic with the poet accompanied by Smith's fine rootsy guitar. The album was remastered and reissued by the RAS label in 2001. 1985 saw some other successful return to Reggae Sunsplash and a jut out with the American Heartbeat label, overseeing the compiling of the dub poetry album Work Sound 'Ave Power: Dub Poets and Dub. A dub support followed, remixed by Scientist, along with a arcsecond dub poetry mark, Woman Talk: Caribbean Dub Poetry, this time entirely featuring women dub and rapso poets. Mutabaruka too smitten a distribution make do with the American RAS label, and cemented the partnership with the fierce The Mystery Unfolds album in 1986. Self-produced and featuring a host of node musicians and vocalists, including Marcia Griffiths and Ini Kamoze, Mystery was wholly uncompromising. Amidst a host of tough tracks was "Orcus Poem," a numeral meant to puncture non only the listener's expectations, merely the poet's pretensions as considerably. One of Mutabaruka's virtually entertaining, so far thought-provoking poems, it would later be included in the definitive The Routledge Reader in Caribbean Literature.


Although neither 1987's Outcry nor 1989's Any Which Way...Freedom was quite as radically revolutionary as Mystery, Mutabaruka was cursorily establishing himself as both a literary and musical colossus, both in Jamaica and overseas. His Reggae Sunsplash appearances in 1987 and 1988 were highly anticipated, and did non let down. And spell Mutabaruka continued to bring forth or co-produce his albums, he as well now and again cut singles for other producers, including the high-pressure "Great Kings of Africa" for Gussie Clarke, which paired him with Dennis Brown. The Blakk Wi Blak...K...K album appeared in 1991, overseen collectively by the poet and Earl "Chinna" Smith, and featured a followup to "Kings," "Outstanding Queens of Afrika," with guest vocalists Sharon Forrester and Ini Kamoze. It was a prima album filled with tough talk, including the vituperative "Ecology Poem" and the every bit bitter "People's Court." That latter number was followed up on Mutabaruka's every bit first-class album, Melanin Man, which too boasted the stunning "Garvey." That arrived in 1994, by which time the poet had performed at three more Reggae Sunsplash festivals in 1991, 1993, and 1994; he'd bring back in both 1995 and 1996. 1994 as well saw the launch of Mutabaruka's possess Jamaican radio show on the IRIE-FM station. It was wildly pop, but ironically sufficiency that station banned his song "People's Court from the airwaves. Two days afterward, the poet scored a geminate of Jamaican hits, both cut for the Exterminator label. "Saucy Up" paired Mutabaruka with DJ Sugar Minott, spell "Book of Psalms 24" saw him in quislingism with the deeply religious DJ Luciano. 1996 too brought two albums in its rouse, Muta in Dub and Gathering of the Spirits, the latter a dramatic recreation of the roots eRA, boasting a host of roots stars from the Mighty Diamonds, Sly & Robbie, Culture, and Marcia Griffiths amongst them. That same year, Mutabaruka toured Ethiopia with Tony Rebel, Yasus Afari, and Uton Green.

Italy hails rebirth of its cinema after Cannes

By Silvia Aloisi


ROME (Reuters) - While France hailed the triumph of one of
its own at the Cannes film festival, Italy was also celebrating
the rebirth of its cinema after scooping two top prizes at the
world's biggest film competition.


"Gomorrah," a hard-hitting film about the Naples' mafia,
and "Il Divo" -- a satire on the life of former Prime Minister
Giulio Andreotti -- won the second and third prizes
respectively, earning critical acclaim both at home and abroad.


The awards were a welcome boost for Italian cinema, which
has gone through a wave of soul-searching in recent years for
lack of memorable titles -- and has often been described as
being in a state of decline.


The prizes to the two domestic entries in the main
competition made front-page headlines in Italy on Monday, all
but eclipsing the winner of the Palme D'Or, "Entre Les Murs"
(The Class) by French director Laurent Cantet.


"If there is a real winner of this edition, then it is
Italian cinema," said Paolo Mereghetti, a veteran film critic
for daily Corriere della Sera.


"It was important to convince the international public --
which is the strength of Cannes -- that our cinema is again
flying high," he said.


The tone could not have been more different from last year,
when Italian films were left out of the main contest in Cannes,
and American director Quentin Tarantino called Italian cinema
depressing.


"Recent films I've seen are all the same. They talk about
boys growing up, or girls growing up, or couples having a
crisis, or vacations of the mentally impaired," Tarantino said
in an interview last June.
