One-of-a-kind :)

If it's been done once and never been done again, if it's totally original in the history of civilization and the history of the world, you'll find it in THE ONLY BOOK.

Here are some facts that I found interesting:
  • What is the only country in the world that attracts ten million tourists annually but has no hotels, motels, restaurants, nightclubs, movie houses, taverns, or drugstores?
Vatican City, or the Holy See, renowned for its great works of art and architecture, is the only
country in the world that has no such accommodations. Visitors must leave Vatican City and enter the
city of Rome, Italy for food, lodging, and other services. Visitors come to Vatican city to enjoy the
art, see the Pope's home and reflect.
  • Where was the only place in the world in which a rhinoceros was voted to a city council?
On October 4, 1959, the citizens of Sao Paulo, Brazil, by a vote of just over fifty thousand, chose a
female rhinoceros for the municipal council; she remains the only rhinoceros so honored. The people
of Sao Paulo were protesting corrupt government, food shortages, and skyrocketing prices for barest
necessities. The rhino was brought each day to the Municipal Building to attend meetings.

  • Name the only king without a mustache in a pack of cards.
The only king in a pack of cards without a mustache is the king of hearts.

Burlesque




This movie stars Cher, Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell and Cam Gigandet.

Plot:

Ali is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess, the club's proprietor and headliner. Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day. Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer, finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer, and garners the affection of Jack, a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager and gender-bending host, Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur arrives with an enticing proposal.

I can't wait to watch this! =))



Johnny Depp -- Vampire?





Johnny Depp will team up with director Tim Burton on Dark Shadows, a film adaptation of the 1960s vampire soap opera, which begins shooting this February.

Depp will play 175-year-old vampire Barnabas Collins. Here's what he's had to say about the character:

"Tim and I have tossed the idea for Dark Shadows over the years. It was a TV program in the States in the late 60s and early 70s that I remember watching as a kid. I was obsessed with this character, Barnabas Collins, who was a vampire. I came to find out many years later that when he was a kid, Tim ran home like I did to watch that Gothic soap opera. It was a very strange thing back then. We looked at ways to go, story-wise. We've started to come up with something interesting."

He has also previously teamed up with Burton in several movies such as:
  • Edward Scissorhands!
  • Ed Wood
  • Sleepy Hollow
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
  • Corpse Bride
  • Sweeny Todd
  • Alice in Wonderland




Sin City >:)















Welcome to Fabulous Las Vagas, the"Entertainment Capital of the World"

Las Vegas is the most populous city in Nevada, the seat of Clark County, and an internationally renowned major resort city for gambling, shopping and fine dining.

Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on the Las Vegas Strip. Nineteen of the world's 25 largest hotels by room count are on the Strip, with a total of over 67,000 rooms.

If I was ever given a chance to go to Vegas, I would stay at the Bellagio :)

The Bellagio has nine separate villas in a quiet corner of the property. Each villa has a private terrace and pool, which is surrounded by topiary shrubs, chaise lounges and outdoor tables. Every villa has a private butler service and private limousine entrance.
