I recently read that Paris Hilton was asked to portray Mother Teresa in a film. What are your thoughts on this?

Hm.\nI did a double take when I read this. Paris Hilton...it's not that I dislike her, but I don't feel that she has enough 'character' to play Mother Teresa.\nThe role is extremely rich and I don't think Paris Hilton is seasoned enough to pay homage to Mother Teresa's beautiful character.\nCan she bring Mother Teresa's deeds and saintly character to Life? I think not. I remember her acting in House of Wax - let's just say she was probably there just for the 'Star' attraction, like eye-candy for people to watch the show.\nI'm disappointed they didn't respect Mother Teresa enough to at least cast a respectable, seasoned actress to portray such a wonderful woman who lived in India.\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

I did and I loved it. Team Anderlina! lol. No but seriously this interview was complete with such honesty and realism and care for the circumstances that others are facing in this world and depicted in such a moving way that appeared to inspire those watching to join in on the cause. Anderson and Angelina are by far some of the most nicest, decent, and excellent humanitarians the world of entertainment and media will possibly ever come to know. :)

You are wrong i thought. Hollywood would entertain if the script and the policy is acceptable to them. There are many outsiders from other continents working or worked in Hollywood. eg. Omar sheriff - Egyptian , there are many others from africa. Nite Shyamalan- Indian (6th sence) there are many representations from all the continents. Go with a good theme then it will be accepted

I am shocked and amazed.\n\nI truly had no idea that so many Christians do not know God.  To view this piece of fiction as an opportunity to 'save' or 'win' souls is hypocrosy.\n\nTo not understand what is so blasphemous about the movie, regardless if you are a Catholic or not, just shows laziness.  And, that your relationship with Christ needs to grow deeper.\n\nThe book says that Jesus is not God.  That Jesus was a person not the Son of God.  This is blasphemy to ANYONE who believes that Jesus was their Savior. For, a man cannot save us --- only God.  And, if Jesus was a mere man we, as Christians are idolotors.  Now do you understand why the Catholic church condemning it?  All Christians should be saying the same thing.\n\nYes, I think by condemning it the church is just making it more attractive.  But, they are also standing for what they believe in --- regardless of what the media says.  So, I'm glad someone understands why Jesus has to be divine. And, why this is so important to my faith.  And, is standing up for it on an international level.\n\nBTW, HOW on this Earth could anything be more important to you or your church as Christians than saying your Savior, Jesus Christ, was a man.  He was not divine.  He cannot save your sins.  That Christianity is a farse and stamps it down to idolotry...\n\nFind a new pastor!

I have. I enjoyed it very much. It was great to see many spiritual concepts being shown and discussed in a movie, a rare treat these days. I had to watch it twice to digest it all.

I had a friend who missed her plane that day American Flight 11, she still won't fly. After it happened me and my college buddies drove all night to get to ground Zero and help move rubble hoping to find survivors.\n\nI've healed pretty well since then i saw the film I though it was an excellent film and feel that all those who feel up to it should go see it.

THAT's why you started coming here earlier....\n\nI'm really chuffed, and YES, looking forward to it.  I've been asked to be il padrino (think Marlon Brando) for the daughter of an old friend back in London.\n\nI KNOW they didn't ask me for my religious beliefs, so I am REALLY touched that they thought I would somehow make a good one. (in case you didn't work it out, its Godfather.)\n\nI've only been asked by family members before.  And Isabelle is a really sweet girl.  Her mother's from the Ivory Coast so it's probably going to be a hell of a party.

Yeah, I can totally agree. Her performance in that movie was good, but it wasn't spectacular. She has done better parts than that one, and didn't win an Oscar for it!

The movie is based on a fictional novel so why would you go into seeing it believing it was a documentary?  It is just entertainment.  Part of it can be based on fact like the trully existing Opus Dei or on fiction as the fictional characters that are in the movie.  Take it as you like it.  If you believe there is truth to it believe it if you do not don't believe it.  In the end it is not a documentary it's an action adventure movie.  Go to see it with an open mind.

Howdy pinky! I think Madonna is trying to concentrate on bringing up her children. She looks great for her age and she can still sing and act. What do you think of actor Rory Emerald and singer/actress Cher? \n(Wonderful question "pinky" keep em' comin'!)

I agree with what youre saying. The only reason Paris is famous is because shes rich, and she is in ownership with the Hiltons hotel. Not to mention that she hangs around alot of celebs. I dont get why they make a big deal out of her either. She has done nothing to give back to the community, and she isnt a good role model either. How can you be a good role model when you go out almost every night and party and get drunk, not to mention having a sex video out for grabs. Its funny too because she, herself, considers her to be a great role model and actress.

I like the movie as a movie.  However the real fact of the situation are so different - the film can only be said to be very loosely based on fact.\nAnneliese Michel (September 21, 1952 – July 1, 1976) was a Catholic woman from Germany who believed she was possessed by six or more demons and subsequently underwent an exorcism.Anneliese experienced severe psychiatric disturbances from the age of 16 to her death at age 23. Although the faith-based treatment was performed at her own request, the hospitalization and intravenous feeding could have saved her life. Both the priests who performed the exorcism and her parents were convicted of manslaughter. The Catholic Church, which had authorized the exorcism, reversed itself and declared it a case of mental illness; however, many people believe she was genuinely possessed by demons, and her gravesite is a destination for pilgrims to this day.\nThe film significantly deviates from the real-world events (for example, the film is set in the United States and Anneliese was renamed Emily Rose and the court case was shown with a substantially different outcome). The German-language film Requiem (2006) by Hans-Christian Schmid holds a much truer account of the real-life events.\nAs to how 'true' this case was as opposed to being a mental illness, I don't know.  However even 'The Ammityville Horror' a well known hoax had a germ of truth behind it and the house still has been the scene of some disturbances, admittedly not as dramatic as the book and subsequent film.  I know it sounds strange, but I think there may well be some truth in this case, as well.

Absolutely.\n\nI read the book and loved it (as well as all of Dan Brown's other books, too).  \n\nI am amazed by the response from different religious spokespeople all over the world.  What I find unusual is that I am not affected the same way that others are.  I am a Christian, yet if I found out (with complete certainty) that Jesus was married, it wouldn't change my faith at all.  It was common practice for Jewish men of that time period to be married, so it would not be sinful or even unusual if Jesus were as well.  Jesus WAS a man.\n\nI think that the movie will reach more people than the book and it will pique peoples' interests about religion.  Sure, a few people may leave the church because of this "scandal", but I think that even more will join because they will be introduced to a side of religion that they have not seen before.\n\nI hope it does really well.  Tom Hanks is also my favorite actor, and, although I hate the long hair, I think he will do amazingly in this film.

I would love to sit with Mother Theresa, and I'm not even religious.  She just epitomized gentleness, sacrifice, human kindness - fearlessly tended lepers.  I'd love to hear her wisdom. \n\nMind you, my hormones are screaming "hey, let's do dinner with Matt Damon so we can drool, and lust and stare at his fine buff self" ...
