Sean Penn Attacks Media & Celebrities For Haiti Fatigue
May 18th
Sean Penn has blasted his peers and the global media for turning their back on Haiti at a glitzy Cannes Film Festival gala.
The Oscar winner was among the guests of honor at the black-tie Haiti: Carnival in Cannes fundraiser to benefit the victims of the 2010 earthquake, but there was something he felt he needed to get off his chest first.
At a press conference before Friday’s bash, he suggested celebrities and news networks who were committed to helping those left homeless by the natural disaster in the months after the tragedy are no longer interested.
Taking aim at the media on the red carpet, the outspoken actor and activist raged, “It’s not only celebrities who went for a day. It’s the whole f**king world. It’s all of you.
“The reason we have Haiti fatigue is because there was never a commitment in the first place.”
Penn was joined by writer/director Paul Haggis and model Petra Nemcova, who like him, helm relief organisations working in Haiti.
The I Am Sam star created the J/P Haitian Relief Organization in the weeks after the earthquake to help rebuild schools and homes, and provide for the desperate locals left destitute after the disaster. His work continues and he has become a regular visitor to Haiti, taking TV news crews and celebrities like Oprah Winfrey with him to help raise interest in the cause.
At the press conference, Penn also urged President Barack Obama to meet with Haiti’s newly-elected leader Michel Joseph Martelly, stating, “It is time for our formidable and elegant president to stand side by side with the new president of Haiti.”

Record-shattering blockbuster The Avengers has become the sixth biggest film of all-time in less than a month.
The Marvel action film, which opened globally at the end of April and in the US on 4 May, has netted $1.07 billion, surpassing the $1.066 billion raked in by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dean Man’s Chest – the former number six film on the box office takings list.
The film, which stars Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo, has also smashed a new record in the US by becoming the fastest to hit $400 million. It took just 14 days to reach the feat – five days before The Dark Knight hit $400 million.
Film experts expect The Avengers to claim the number one spot on the box office countdown for a third week this weekend with another $100 million -plus three-day take, and, at the same time, become the fourth biggest-grossing film in history.

Miley Cyrus to Sexist Clothing Critics: Thank You!
May 18th
Miley Cyrus isn’t one to dress conservatively, and, for that, the singer isn’t about to apologize. Quite the opposite, in fact.
During an interview on Lifetime’s The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet,” when asked about her the reception she’s received in the past for provocative attire, Miley said:
“I take it as a compliment. Thank you for thinking I’m sexy!”
Cyrus adds that she was shocked by the backlash when she started donning skimpier outfits, highlighted by outrage over a Vanity Fair photo shoot in 2008.
“People are so scared of seeing a woman being like, ‘This is who I am and you’re not going to change it,’” she said.
That attitude also led to the release of “Can’t Be Tamed” and its accompanying, R-rated music video.
“Even just the title of that, for a woman to say she can’t be tamed… for a woman in the world with my face saying ‘I can’t be tamed’ when that’s really all people wanted to do, I think proves how sexist people still really are,” she believes.
That’s certainly an interesting take. Miley, meanwhile, has found herself the talk of the gossip world again this week: Do you think she’s too thin?
