The standard feminist take on beauty pageants in this intriguing look at a hotly contested but enduringly popular American ritual. She focuses on its claim to be an accurate representation of the diversity of contemporary American women. Exploring the cultural constructions and legitimations that go on during the long process of the pageant, Banet-Weiser depicts the beauty pageant stage as a place where concerns about national identity, cultural hopes and desires, and anxieties about race and gender are crystallized and condensed. The beauty pageant, she convincingly demonstrates.

Simon Cowell is gone, Ellen Degeneres has decided she doesn’t have the backbone to destroy people’s dreams and has decided to bow out and Kara DioGuardi’s contract has not been renewed (which in TV terms means that she’s been fired!)
Now word on the street is that Jennfier Lopez is slated to be a judge along with …GASP!!–Steve Tyler from Aerosmith! Talk about a change in direction. But what if my friends, JLo and/or Tyler have a change of heart and decide not to be judges........

Ozzy Osbourne volunteers as a science experiment to discover why he’s still alive
Having carved an unchallenged niche among fans as one of the most individual performers to inhabit a stage, ex Black Sabbath front-man, Ozzy Osbourne has now agreed to undergo tests to discover why he’s even alive.
The 61-year old rocker has somehow survived a life of indulgence that would leave most hardened addicts almost breathless in wonder. In forty years of performing this unique individual has survived the effects of;
Four bottles of cognac a day, addiction to 42 different prescriptions, being hit by a plane while asleep in his tour bus, rabies treatments after eating a bat, a broken neck, cataracts, some unexplained time in a mental asylum, uncountable overdoses and a passion for cigars.
Now the father of five has volunteered to take part in a process that will discover how he has endured the effects of a depth of addiction that would have left even Superman gasping for life;
“When I die, I should donate my body to the Natural History Museum,” he tells NME. “It’s all very well going on a bender for a couple of days, but mine went on for 40-years.”
Now the Massachusetts-based medical company, ‘Knome’ will collect a blood sample from Ozzy, which will then be used to map his entire genome, thus discovering how he’s still even breathing after such extended abuse.
“Sequencing and analyzing individuals with extreme medical histories provides great potential scientific value,” Nathan Pearson, Knome’s Director of Research told the scribes.
But Ozzy – a self-professed hypochondriac – claims his extreme days are over and he’s now a new man;
“I’m a different person now: I keep fit, don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t get high — At least, not on anything but endorphins,” he says. “Now I take drugs only for real things, such as high cholesterol, depression or heartburn.”
Creating Ozzy’s sequence will take roughly three months, and cost $40,000. What they’ll do with the results has not yet been explained…
