Well, sorta. "Cinderella Story" is a sad attempt to ride the wave of shoe metaphors and jokes about everyone's favorite presidential shoe-tosser. This is more of a women-as-chattel story.
Some guy in Egypt was so impressed by the heroism of shoe-throwing guy (let me remind everyone, that he unsuccessfully hit his intended target...twice) that he offered the Iraqi journalist the ultimate prize: his daughter's hand in marriage. According to Reuter's: The daughter, Amal Saad Gumaa, said she agreed with the idea. "This is something that would honor me. I would like to live in Iraq, especially if I were attached to this hero," she told Reuters by telephone.
Now, I enjoyed the prank/political statement/media oportunity of the flung shoes as much as the next guy....but c'mon. Isn't this exactly what the rednecks want, Egyptian guy? You look like a big misogynist toolbag. Now Bush feels justified for racially profiling and demonizing your regional countrymen. Someone should throw a shoe...
Samantha Ronson has announced her plans to marry Lindsay Lohan before New Year's which explains the engagement ring Lindsay's been sporting. Here I thought she was a busty jewel thief. Damn. The Sun reports:
Sam used her DJ slot at top LA hotel and night spot Chateau Marmont to announce the news, telling clubbers: “By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs Ronson.”
She added: “Tonight shows the power of a woman – to underestimate that is to underestimate the world.”
What's all this "power of a woman" talk? Isn't Samantha Ronson technically the "man" in this relationship? And by technically I mean she has testicles because you know what I don't underestimate? SCIENCE.
