Hablando de superman y tesis estúpidas, recuerdo que hace algunos meses en el Parlament de Catalunya hubo una discusión sobre si Superman era conservador o progresista. Ahora no recuerdo si fue alguien de CiU o de PSC que empezó con el tema, pero estuvieron un par de dias con eso.

Oye Pekh!!! que mi tesis no es estúpida es "científica" y deriva de años de profundos estudios acerca de la reacción sicosomática del superhéroe ante la criptonita, además puedo decir que era claramente progesista (el uso del color rojo en su traje lo delata y quería cambiar el mundo…..)

Jackson to hire new management and attempt comeback
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Michael Jackson has fired his business managers, has hired a New York firm to oversee his financial affairs and is moving to Europe, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.
His longtime spokeswoman, Raymone K. Bain, said in a statement that she has been named general manager of the new Michael Jackson Co., which will replace Jackson's MJJ Productions.
The pop star has been living in Bahrain since he was acquitted of child molestation charges a year ago.
Jackson has severed ties with his Bahraini lawyers and his longtime accountants and business managers, Bernstein, Fox, Whitman, Goldman & Sloan. Bain said he has hired L. Londell McMillan and The McMillan firm, "known for business restructurings and turnarounds."
Other management changes are expected and will be announced later, Bain said.
Jackson is planning public appearances and performances, Bain said. "He is reviewing numerous offers to tour musically, which he plans to embark upon within the next several months," the statement said.
She said he expects to release a new album next year.
Jackson had been rumored to be on the verge of bankruptcy for some time. But in April his Bahraini lawyers announced that he had restructured his finances in a deal with Sony Corp. The company shares ownership of his valuable music catalog, which includes the Beatles' hits.
Jackson recently had to shutter his elaborate Neverland ranch in Santa Ynez, California, because of unpaid salaries and insurance fees.
The change in management, which Bain called "the first of a sweeping restructuring of his personal and business affairs," is an apparent attempt by Jackson to salvage his finances.
The singer will maintain a house in Bahrain, Bain told The Associated Press in a phone interview. He decided to move to Europe for access to music industry figures, she said.
"He is very serious about his music," she said. "When you are a creative person and the creative juices are flowing again and you're about to embark on new projects, you want to make sure your organization is running smoothly."
Jackson was in Ireland on Tuesday "on personal business," Bain said in her statement.
Jackson's chaotic financial dealings will be put in the spotlight in a Santa Monica, California, courtroom this week in a lawsuit over whether he owes $3.8 million to a former business associate.
F. Marc Schaffel says he is owed for unrepaid loans and expenses and salary.
Schaffel's attorney, Howard King, portrayed the 47-year-old singer as an incurable spendthrift who sought financial guidance from advisers, then ignored it.
Jackson says Schaffel defrauded him and hid facts of his shady past.
Michael Jackson moving to Europe to resume career
June 27, 2006 16:33:07By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson, who earlier this year shuttered his Neverland Valley Ranch in California, is moving to Europe to reignite a musical career stalled by his sex abuse trial.
A spokeswoman for Jackson said on Tuesday that the 47-year-old pop star was shopping for a home in Europe but had not finalized his plans. Jackson has spent much of his time in Bahrain since his acquittal on child molestation charges in June of 2005,
Spokeswoman Raymone Bain said Jackson has also severed ties with his longtime business managers as part of a "sweeping restructuring" of his affairs.
"He's just decided that with all of the projects he's going to be involved with and all of the people he's beginning to work with in the music industry, it's easier (to live in Europe)," Bain said. "He'll be going back and forth to Bahrain but Europe will be his principal residence."
Jackson has named her his general manager and hired New York-based attorney L. Londell McMillan to oversee his business and legal affairs, she said.
The 47-year-old entertainer, who has made few public appearances since the end of his sensational trial, had previously announced plans to release an album in 2007 and was considering a tour. His last studio album was 2001's "Invincible" although he has released several hit collections since then.
Bain said Jackson had no plans to sell Neverland, a 2,800-acre (1,130-hectare) ranch in the California foothills where he was accused of molesting a young cancer patient.
In March, State authorities ordered Jackson to close Neverland and fined him more than $100,000 for failing to pay the staff there or maintain proper insurance. Bain said the self-styled King of Pop now maintains the sprawling estate, famed for its Disneyland-like rides and zoo, with a small staff.
"He still owns Neverland and he's still providing the funding for its upkeep," she said. "I'm sure at some point in time he will move back to Neverland, that's not out of the question. It's not in the immediate future but it's not far-fetched."
Bain said Jackson has been visiting Ireland and France, where he took his children to the Disneyland resort, and "having a number of meetings charting out his musical future and his career."
Prosecutors asserted during Jackson's trial that the former child star, who ruled the pop charts in the 1980s, was in precarious financial shape due to mounting debts. In April, Jackson reached a deal to refinance more than $200 million in loans secured by his stake in the Beatles' song catalog.

Etta James and X-tina.
Christina Aguilera says she can die happy now — because she's met her idol, legendary R&B singer Etta James.
The two posed together for a photo spread in the July issue of InStyle, which matched up singers with their musical mentors. The pairings include Mary J. Blige with Chaka Khan, John Legend with Quincy Jones, Fergie with Rita Marley, and Faith Hill with Aretha Franklin.
But Aguilera's coupling with James nearly brought the singer to tears because James seemed to idolize her too.
"Etta is my all-time favorite singer," Aguilera explained. "I've said it for the last seven years — since I had my first debut record out — in every interview, in every story, in every on- and off-camera question. I mean, all of Etta's old songs, countless songs I could name, I grew up listening to. That music was always such a huge escape for me, even from a young age."
When she was about 7 years old, Aguilera's grandmother used to take her to look for vintage records, which was how she got introduced to soul, jazz and blues. "There was such soul, emotion and raw heart in it," Aguilera said. "So much real heart and emotion that's lacking in music today. You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me."
Aguilera said she was a "bundle of nerves" before meeting James. Little did she know, James had already been won over.
"When I first heard her stuff, and I heard her say on TV, [in response to the question] where she got her style, 'I grew up on Etta James,' that made me feel so good," James said. "The last person who said that was Janis Joplin, but Christina can sing. Janis was good, but there's a difference in the quality of voice. I couldn't believe that big sound, that big voice was coming out of her. Tell me who you've seen that sings like her, because we don't have anybody.
"It's like you were here many years ago," she told Aguilera. "You don't look exactly like them, but there's something about you that's like Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, those kinds of chicks. I've never seen a girl sing as tough as you sing, as little as you are. It's like you're an old soul."
"I'm going to cry now," Aguilera gasped, and James put her head on her shoulder adoringly.
During the photo shoot, James sat a piano and sang R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" while Aguilera looked on in awe. Even though it wasn't one of Aguilera's favorite songs that Etta sings — those would be "At Last," "Fool That I Am," "I Prefer You," "Trust in Me" and "Something's Got a Hold on Me" — she joined in for an impromptu gospel number.
Perhaps it was a warm-up for Aguilera's upcoming tour of blues and jazz clubs to promote her Back to Basics LP, due August 15 (see "Christina Aguilera's New LP: Some Jazz, Some Hip-Hop Soul … And Some Burlesque"). Aguilera said she plans to be "sitting on a stool, doing bluesy versions of my old hits, like 'What a Girl Wants,' with just a piano."
And that dream doesn't end with this album or tour — it's what Aguilera hopes she's doing until she's as old as James. "I'll still be as raunchy as I wanna be, and I'll have the memory of Etta James to back me up. ... She's want I want to be someday."
James says Aguilera is already well on her way. "She reminds me of myself when I was young," she said. "I've always been a complainer, too, that's what I liked about her. The bad-girl syndrome was a controversy then, but that was always the hip thing. Everybody wanted to be the bad girl!"
"It's funny," Aguilera said. "Etta had told me she had heard I was 'a little hotheaded,' and you know what she said? 'Just like me — a girl after my own heart!' "
Bono, Andrea Corr and Gavin Friday are among the stars who appear on an upcoming double album called 'Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys'.
Billboard reports that the idea for the album came from Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski when they were working on 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'.
Commenting on the album, Verbinski said: "I slowly became fascinated by the idea of a contemporary reinterpretation of the sea chantey. I imagined the artists that I listen to and respect doing their take on this age-old music: the song of the sea."
Bono sings 'Dying Sailor to His Shipmates' on the album, while Corr and Friday perform renditions of 'Caroline and Her Young Sailor Bold' and 'Baltimore Whores' respectively.
Other artists who appear on the album include Nick Cave, Sting, Lou Reed, Bryan Ferry, Jarvis Cocker, Rufus Wainwright, Kate McGarrigle and actor John C Reilly.
'Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys' will be released on the Anti label on 22 August

Beloved US TV star Jaleel White is laughing off reports he committed suicide while partying in Miami, Florida. News of the death of the actor, who played Steve Urkel in TV hit Family Matters, has been circulating on the Internet for a month after a bogus story reported his demise. The report was backed by news that White's neighbor alerted police after hearing a gunshot coming from the actor's Los Angeles apartment. The hoax also featured bogus quotes from White's former Family Matters co-stars. But White was living large at an Ocean Drive magazine private party last week. An insider at the bash says, "He was having a great time and seemed to think it was funny when people would come up to him and say, 'Hey, Urkel, I thought you were dead.' He's definitely not dead."

HE'S best-known for "Bat Out of Hell," but incredibly, Meat Loaf has lost the right to use the title. Jim Steinman, who wrote the music for the mountain-sized rocker's legendary 1977 album that sold 34 million copies, trade marked the name in the '90s. Loaf now says he's been told he can't name his upcoming record "Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose." That's not sitting well with the big man, who just filed suit against Steinman in L.A. Federal court claiming his name is synonymous with the title. "Meat Loaf will not be bullied by anyone," his lawyer, Skip Miller, said.

New dad JACK BLACK is furious he hasn't received any multi-million dollar offers from magazines for photos of his new son SAMUEL, and blames the recent spate of high-profile births for "flooding the market".
Black joins other recent celebrity dads including TOM CRUISE, BRAD PITT, ADAM SANDLER and GAVIN ROSSDALE.
He explains, "We do have some offers from some major magazines. Popular Mechanics was talking about something…
"To tell you the truth I'm a little insulted, 'cause nobody cares about my sweet baby.
"The market is flooded. Tom Cruise has got his baby everywhere! Nobody cares about Baby Black!"

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (AP) - Gary Glitter went before a Vietnamese court Thursday to appeal his conviction and three-year prison sentence for child-molestation.
The 62-year-old former British glam rocker was found guilty March 3 for committing obscene acts with girls aged 10 and 11 at his rented seaside villa in southern Vietnam. He arrived at the People's Supreme Court of Appeals in Ho Chi Minh City wearing all black and escorted by Vietnamese police.
"I'm innocent, of course," he told dozens of foreign journalists before entering the courthouse.
The hearing is closed and the ruling by a three-judge panel will be announced later Thursday.
Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was accused of kissing, fondling and "engaging in other physical acts" with the girls at his rented villa in the seaside city Vung Tau, about 125 kilometres southeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
He has been in police custody in Vung Tau since Nov. 19, when he was arrested in Ho Chi Minh City trying to board a flight to Bangkok, Thailand.
Glitter was convicted in Britain in 1999 for possessing child pornography. He served one-half of a four-month jail term.
His lawyer, Le Thanh Kinh, has met with Glitter a few times a month since March. Their last meeting was Tuesday. Kinh said Wednesday that Glitter is "feeling good," has been exercising regularly while in detention and reading New York Times and Wall Street Journal newspapers which Kinh has brought to him.

Dios, abstinencia y punk rock
Los cristianos 'renacidos' de EE UU atraen a muchos jóvenes de la mano de las guitarras eléctricas y las tribus urbanasMás de 30.000 personas acudirán al festival musical y religioso que empieza hoy en Chicago
Los jóvenes con ganas de marcha y aspecto hippie llegan estos días en tromba al sur de Chicago, donde entre hoy y el día 8 se celebra el Cornerstone Music Festival.
Serán más de 30.000 y las guitarras no dejarán de sonar. Pero lo que trae a tantos chicos a estas idílicas praderas es sobre todo la palabra del Señor en escenarios bautizados con nombres como El pueblo de Jesús, en los que Dios habla a través de grupos de folk, pop, rock e incluso hardcore o punk, como Headnoise o Flatfoot56.
Los asistentes no son católicos, sino cristianos renacidos, el nombre con el que se autodefinen los protestantes de las ramas evangélica, fundamentalista y pentecostal, que en Estados Unidos superan los 70 millones de personas y cuyo feligrés más célebre es George W. Bush. El festival, que se celebra desde 1984, es cada vez más masivo.
Parece una contradicción: punk y cristianismo, la palabra de Dios cantada por imitadores sonoros de bandas nihilistas adictas a todo tipo de excesos como The Clash y Sex Pistols. Pero en EE UU es una realidad cada vez más extendida: hay jóvenes que han cambiado el viejo dicho de "sexo, drogas y rock and roll" por "Dios, abstinencia y mucho punk-rock". Música, cine, televisión, videojuegos y hasta citas online expresamente para cristianos como las que ofrece Bigchurch.com, con medio millón de miembros, son las herramientas con las que se expresa una nueva generación de cristianos renacidos que no están dispuestos simplemente a repetir los esquemas de muchos de sus mayores y a quienes las formas que envuelven el mensaje ultraconservador que se lanza desde las 200.000 iglesias evangelistas repartidas por Estados Unidos ya no les llega. Ellos tratan de adaptar la palabra de Cristo al siglo XXI, aunque eso signifique teñirse el pelo de violeta, llevar las uñas y los labios pintados de negro y tatuarse crucifijos.
Como Brit, de 20 años, una siniestra de Tennessee, que asegura que Dios "entró en su corazón" a los 13 años y que a los 15 abrazó la música dark, aunque sus inclinaciones religiosas la llevaran a buscar en la industria musical cristiana el mensaje de Cristo, a quien le dedica varias horas semanales en la Iglesia del Underground de Nueva York. Cada lunes su novio, Austin Insanity, oficia misa en este pequeño local del East Village, el barrio donde antaño los punks se ahogaban en alcohol y se besaban entre porro y porro. Pero Austin no bebe, no fuma y cree que hay que llegar virgen al matrimonio. Tiene la cabeza rapada, una decena de tatuajes repartidos por su cuerpo, pantalones ajustados y botas Doc Martens, imprescindibles en el uniforme punk. Con 24 años y pese a las apariencias, es oficialmente pastor, ordenado por la Nation of the Underground Church. Mientras alimentaba en Dallas (Texas) su pasión por Cristo, que le llegó de improviso cuando Dios "entró" en él, (una frase que suelen utilizar todos los cristianos renacidos para describir su primer encuentro con Dios), también crecía su amor hacia el hardcore, algo que sus amigos punks seculares no entendían, y que confundía a sus conocidos cristianos. "Pero descubrí que no estaba solo", explica.
En la Iglesia God's Place International, en Arlington (Texas), encontró gente con sus mismos gustos musicales y quizás aún más importante, políticos. "Entre los cristianos del sur, si no votas republicano te miran mal. Pero Bush y los suyos representan al sector más hipócrita del cristianismo. Nos han llevado a la guerra tergiversando el mensaje de Cristo sólo para llenar sus bolsillos. Hay un gran sector del mundo cristiano que se ha alejado del verdadero mensaje de las escrituras. Nosotros queremos volver a los orígenes", explica Austin. Por eso en su sermón del lunes este pelirrojo se centra en la explotación laboral.
Todo su radicalismo político se derrumba sin embargo cuando se menciona el tema del aborto o del matrimonio gay. "Estamos en contra", admite. "Pero se están utilizando esos temas para desviar la atención de los problemas importantes. Creo que los cristianos no deberían estar tan preocupados por eso cuando el mundo está en llamas. En el fondo, no es realista pensar que se puede prohibir el aborto, pero si yo tuviera que votar no podría votar a favor. Y en cuanto a los gays, mejor que vivan casados que en pecado total, supongo, aunque lo ideal es que se arrepientan". Austin considera la homosexualidad un pecado, pero afirma que, al contrario de los cristianos de derechas, él y los cerca de 2.000 feligreses de la Nación del Underground no juzgan a nadie. "Todos somos pecadores y nosotros no vamos apuntando con el dedo por ahí".
Las quejas de Austin son similares a las de otros de su generación y algunos, como el pastor Dan Kimball, han entendido que hay que llegar a ellos por nuevas vías. En su libro The emerging church, ganador del premio Christianity Today Book Award de 2004, Kimball introducía un nuevo concepto, el cristianismo vintage: recuperar la parte más espiritual del mensaje de Cristo y dejar de lado la iglesia y la burocracia si se quiere tocar el alma de los jóvenes.

Hasselhoff se corta en un brazo mientras se afeita
El musculado David Hasselhoff, conocido sobre todo por su papel de Mitch Buchannon en la teleserie Los vigilantes de la playa ha descubierto que el afeitado es más peligroso de lo que parece y que no importa que se salven muchas vidas en la ficción si no se tiene cuidado con los accidentes domésticos. Hasselhoff ingresó el sábado en un hospital de Londres, donde fue operado de un brazo. El actor se golpeó en la cabeza con una lámpara de cristal mientras se afeitaba en un gimnasio y la lluvia de vidrios le seccionó un tendón.
-
¿Qué hay de cierto en todo ello? De todos modos el David no ha sido amigo de la cuchilla puesto que en sus tiempos Mitch Bucannan lucía pelo en pecho a lo TEEN WOLF.

Vaya por Dios, si ya lo sabíamos, quién le mandará salir de la depilación.

TVE-1 monta un grupo musical con 12 presos
• El nuevo 'reality' une música y reinserción
Imagen de un ensayo del programa El coro de la cárcel. Foto: TVE
La vida en la cárcel, aparte de lo que tiene de dura para quienes la sufren, ha sido tema de infinidad de historias de cine y televisión. Pero TVE-1 presenta hoy este escenario con una original mezcla de géneros en El coro de la cárcel, reality show que se centra en la vida de 12 presos que participan en un programa de reinserción que consiste en formar parte de un coro en el presidio de El Dueso (Cantabria). En el programa de esta noche prepararán la canción Eres tú.
El objetivo de este docudrama es "acercar a la sociedad la realidad de las cárceles", sin intentar dar de ellas "una visión idílica", explicó Mercedes Gallizo, directora general de Instituciones Penitenciarias, en la presentación del programa. Y para lograrlo, durante 10 semanas se mostrará la vida cotidiana en el penal, donde están internados los 12 presos del espacio, condenados todos ellos por delitos menores.
El nudo de la historia es su participación en la creación del coro que da título al espacio, un proyecto dirigido por la profesora de canto Montserrat Rius y la psicóloga de Instituciones Penitenciarias Nuria San José. "Este tipo de actividades ayuda al preso a reinsertarse, a construir nuevos valores que les permitan vivir en sociedad", dice Gallizo.
En cualquier caso, la novedad de El coro de la cárcel es poder vislumbrar a través de la historia de los 12 presos la realidad carcelaria, tan poco conocido, aparte de los estereotipos que muestra la ficción.
"Los espectadores podrán comprobar que los que están en prisión son personas parecidas a nosotros, pero que cometieron un error en su vida", consideró Gallizo. En el último capítulo, los presos demostrarán todo lo aprendido con un concierto en el que participará el grupo El Consorcio.
