I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.

Huge crowd waiting for hours for the arrival of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The screening of Pitt’s latest movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford was at Elgin Visa Screening Room as part of 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

Meredith: If you wanna break up with me so you can see other women, just do it! Don’t tell me you met another woman. Just end it, if that’s what you want.

Derek: I can’t…

Meredith: Sure you can, here’s how it goes: “Meredith, I don’t wanna see you anymore. Meredith, I don’t love you anymore.”

Derek: Meredith, I do love you! Don’t you see? Don’t you understand? You’re the love of my life. I can’t leave you…

But you are constantly leaving me. You walk away when you want, you come back when you want. Not everyone, not your friends. You leave me.

So I’m asking you… if you don’t see a future for us, if you’re not in this, please — please, just end it because I can’t. I’m in it.

Put me out of my misery.

Meredith: I… I can’t. I… I… Cristina is getting married. I have to go make sure she gets married.

Derek: Meredith?

Meredith: I really need to make sure she gets down that aisle.

Derek: Let’s go, we’re running late.

I was watching “We Are Marshall” with my sister last night, but here’s some “the best of” Paris Hilton’s interview with Larry King last night:

Best pre-written flack-vetted lawyered-up soundbite:
“It was very traumatic experience and everything happens for a reason. [It] was a time out from life to find out what’s important, to figure out who I am, even though it’s really hard, I took that time to get to know myself.”

Second best:
“Don’t serve the time, let the time serve you

Biggest Fibberoo of the Night:
When Larry asked her whey she wanted to do the interview, she said, “when I heard you asked me to be on the show, I was excited…I consider you an icon…”

Second…
“I will never drink and drive again…”

Third…
“I was treated like any other inmate, no better no worse.”

Official transcript from the interview on CNN is available here.

I don’t stay up-to-date much with what goes through popular daytime talk tv, so when I first heard about “The Secret” during my church small group when one of our smallgroup members (–a proclaimed Christian–), I was somewhat shocked by what she heard on Oprah and at the same time, not surprised one bit at the theology she preaches to masses of unknowing housewives.

Thus, I must say something about The Secret. I have not heard anything from my church’s pulpit condemning this God-dishonoring way of life, so let us beaware: The Secret is the heretic religion of paganism in new clothes. As Christians we cannot and should not accept it, nor tolerate it seeping into our churches / fellowships / smallgruops / parachurch organizations. Any theology that is not founded on Scripture alone and on the Divine accomplishment of God through Christ’s substitutionary atonement is in and of itself not from God, and subsequently, will only lead to life’s destruction and not eternal life nor fullness of life on earth.

“There is no real secret to The Secret. It is just the same old self-worship packaged for a new generation.” Southern Seminary president Albert Mohler writes,

Carrie Underwood picked up three honors to take home the most trophies Tuesday night (May 15) at the 42nd annual Academy of Country Music Awards show in Las Vegas.

In addition to being named top female vocalist, Underwood’s debut CD, the quintuple-platinum Some Hearts won in the album of the year category. Her music video for “Before He Cheats” resulted in wins for Underwood, producer Randy Brewer and director Roman White.

In accepting her third award of the evening, Underwood said, “I’d like to thank God for giving me so much that I do not deserve. And I’m crying again, because this is what I do at awards shows, so I’m sorry. … My friends, my family, fans, thank you. God bless you. And, of course, the place that started it all. … I would not be here if it weren’t for American Idol.”

Carrie is the best! Congrats girl
