20 MOVIES WHICH FEATURE BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE
Part # 1: HOUSES
The purpose of this blog has always been to explore, through film, buildings that we may not have the chance to visit in person. With many of us stuck at home right now, that kind of cinematic escape feels more appealing than ever, so here’s a bumper list of some of my all-time favourite residences in movies.
1. I AM LOVE (2009) A Jill Sander-clad Tilda Swinton is the matriach of a wealthy Milanese family, living in Piero Portaluppi’s 1935 Villa Necchi.
2. A SINGLE MAN (2009) Architectural enthusiast Tom Ford teams up with a Mad Men production designer, and casts John Lautner’s 1949 Schaffer Residence in a starring role.
3. COLUMBUS (2017) Along with several other Modernist icons, this sylish indie beautifully showcases Eero Saarinen’s Miller House.
4. CONTEMPT (1965) Adalberto Libera’s Casa Malaparte stars as the island home of Jack Palance’s sleazy movie producer, and the venue for his seduction of Brigitte Bardot’s Camille.
5. BEGINNERS (2010) Neutra’s Lovell Health House (which also appears as the home of Pierce Patchett in LA CONFIDENTIAL (1997)) is here cast as a much-loved family residence, a role rarely assigned to modern architecture in films.
6. FRACTURE (2007) Peter Tolkin’s Sherman Residence stars alongside Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins in this legal cat-and-mouse tale.
7. THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998) Modernist architect John Lautner provides the villian’s Lair: Jackie Treehorn lives in the 1969 Sheats-Goldstein Residence.
8. THE GIFT (2015) This engaging twist on the home invasion genre unfolds almost entirely within David Clark’s Mid Century Sherman Oaks House.
9. BLADERUNNER (1982) Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1924 Ennis House provides the exteriors for Deckard’s apartment, and its Mayan-inspired blocks were used as a design cue for many other elements of the production.
10. NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1968) The Modernist Vandamm house remains one of cinema’s most iconic villain’s lairs. It was actually an elaborate set, designed to resemble the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose style Hitchcock wanted to evoke, but whose fee he could not afford.
11. THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO (2011) As per usual, the bad guy lives in a stark, minimalist mansion - in this case John Robert Nilsson’s beautifully-sited 2009 Villa Överby.
12. BOTTLE ROCKET (1996) In Wes Anderson’s first feature, “rich kid” Bob Mapplethorpe lives in Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1958 Gillins House.
13. GHOSTWRITER /THE GHOST (2010) The contemporary residence where this atmospheric thriller takes place was actually not a house, but a set, built amongst sand dunes.
14. FERRIS BEULLER’S DAY OFF (1987) Cameron lives in the A. James Speyer- designed Ben Rose House, built in 1953. The pavilion was added in the 70′s as a showcase for the actual owner’s sports car collection.
15. THE ICE STORM (1996) The Carver family’s 1970′s glass and steel residence is of the Philip Johnson knock-off variety, but still offers beautiful views through plate glass to surrounding woodland.
16. MON ONCLE (1958) In this, as in several of Jaques Tati’s films, modern architecture is beautifully showcased, yet simultaneously cast as the butt of the joke.
17. MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO (1988) The first time i saw this, I coveted the idyllic Japanese country house as much as any ‘real’ building i’d seen on celluloid, with its adjacent bathhouse and study opening into the garden.
18. EXHIBITION (2013) The story of two artists’ relationship with their Modernist London townhouse, this beautifully-shot film is striking in its austerity, minimalism and restrained pace.
19. PARASITE (2019) A minimalist hilltop mansion in Seoul becomes a vessel for a cinematic exploration of social inequality.
20. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971) Reminiscent of a early-Bond Ken Adam set, John Lautner's Elrod House provides the venue for some acrobatic vengeance from scantily-clad villains Bambi and Thumper. Photo: Casa Malaparte by Francois Halard

Today we remember the passing of Poly Styrene who Died: April 25, 2011 in Sussex, United Kingdom
Marianne Joan Elliott-Said (3 July 1957 – 25 April 2011), known by the stage name Poly Styrene, was a British musician, singer-songwriter, and frontwoman for the punk rock band X-Ray Spex.
Poly Styrene was born Marianne Joan Elliott-Said in 1957 in Bromley, Kent, and brought up in Brixton, London. Her mother, who raised her alone, was a Scottish-Irish legal secretary. Her father was a Somali-born dock worker, although Poly Styrene used to tell the press that he was a dispossessed Somali aristocrat.
As a teenager, Styrene was a hippie. When she was 15 she ran away from home with £3 in her pocket, and hitchhiked from one music festival to another, staying at hippie crash pads. Thinking of this as a challenge to survive, her adventure ended when she stepped on a rusty nail while bathing in a stream and had to be treated for septicaemia.
Having been 'an itinerant traveller, alternative fashion designer and a failed pop-reggae singer', she saw the Sex Pistols perform at the Pier Pavilion Hastings on her nineteenth birthday, 3 July 1976, and decided to form the punk band X-Ray Spex. Poly Styrene, a name she chose from the 'Yellow Pages' when she was 'looking for a name of the time, something plastic.' She was described by Billboard as the "archetype for the modern-day feminist punk"; because she wore dental braces, rebelled against the archetypal female sex object of the 1970s, sported a gaudy Dayglo wardrobe, and was of mixed race. She was "one of the least conventional frontpersons in rock history, male or female". They launched their debut single in 1977.
She made a guest appearance at the 2008 30th anniversary concert of Rock Against Racism in Victoria Park, London, performing "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" with guest musicians Drew McConnell (of Babyshambles and Helsinki) and 'Flash' David Wright playing saxophone. That same year, she dueted with Goldblade's John Robb on a remix of Goldblade's "City of Christmas Ghosts".
In March 2009, Styrene joined other members of PRS for Music in criticising Google for allegedly not paying a fair share of royalties to musicians. This followed Google's removal of millions of videos from YouTube because of a royalties dispute with the organisation.
NME.com announced on 29 October 2010 that Poly Styrene was to release a solo album titled Generation Indigo, produced by Martin Glover (aka Youth from Killing Joke), in March 2011. She released a free download of "Black Christmas" in November 2010. Inspired by a Los Angeles killing spree of a man dressed as Santa Claus, "Black Christmas" was written in collaboration with her daughter, Celeste.
Styrene announced "Virtual Boyfriend" as the first single from the new album Generation Indigo via Spinner Music, as well as the launch of her new website. "Virtual Boyfriend" was released on 21 March 2011, and featured an animated promotional video directed by Ben Wheele. Generation Indigo was released on 28 March 2011, via Future Noise Music. The album received critical acclaim, including a perfect 10 out of 10 score in Artrocker magazine, and 8 out of 10 in The Daily Telegraph newspaper. Generation Indigo was also chosen as Album of the Day on UK radio station BBC 6 Music. It was released in the US on 24 April 2011, the day before her death.
She had a daughter, Celeste Bell-Dos Santos, and lived alone in St Leonards, East Sussex. In February 2011, in an interview published in The Sunday Times magazine, which largely focused on her past and present relationship with her daughter Celeste, Styrene revealed that she had been treated for breast cancer, and that it had spread to her spine and lungs. She died of metastatic breast cancer on 25 April 2011, at the age of 53.

Edmund de Waal at Gagosian Hong Kong
November 11, 2020
EDMUND DE WAAL cold mountain clay Opening reception: Friday, November 20, 6–8pm November 20, 2020–January 9, 2021 __________ Solitude is exacting. I read [the verses] out, wrote them, effaced them, worked on them, trying to find the amount of white space around a poem so that the words emerge. . . . These works are my way of writing on a cave wall. —Edmund de Waal Gagosian is pleased to present cold mountain clay, an exhibition of new and recent works by Edmund de Waal. A potter since childhood and an acclaimed writer, de Waal makes porcelain works that function as repositories of human memory and experience. Drawing equally from Eastern and Western traditions, de Waal’s works blend a minimalist visual language with invocations of the written word, positing the act of collection—of objects, texts, materials, and thoughts—as an artistic form. The exhibition takes its title from the famed Cold Mountain poems, a series of verses by the monk Hanshan, who, according to legend, lived as a recluse on a Chinese mountaintop during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE). Composed with diaristic frankness and intensity, the poems address the unavoidable passage of time and trace the introspective state that comes with monastic solitude.
Inspired by Hanshan’s practice of writing on rocks, tree trunks, and cave walls—thereby letting the elements erode his verses—de Waal’s new works are made through a cycle of inscription and effacement. He begins by coating a wood panel in liquid kaolin; while the slip is still wet, he floats flecks of gold leaf and writes lines of Hanshan’s poetry in graphite, oil stick, and charcoal. He then brushes these marks with additional layers of slip, repeating the process multiple times to produce a “fugitive poem,” a palimpsest of text that emulates the haze of memory. Exhibited with this new series will be a selection of wall-mounted and freestanding works, some of which were included in elective affinities, de Waal’s installation at the Frick Collection, New York, in 2019. Made in white or black porcelain, the vessels are arranged alongside elements of gold, alabaster, marble, or steel. Held in space within vitrines, their spatial variations evoke musical scores or poetic stanzas. De Waal’s installation library of exile is on view at the British Museum in London until January 12, 2021. Originally presented at the Ateneo Veneto in 2019 during the 58th Biennale di Venezia, the library—a porcelain-covered pavilion housing more than two thousand books by exiled authors throughout history—traveled to the Japanisches Palais in Dresden, Germany, later the same year. Edmund de Waal was born in 1964 in Nottingham, England, and lives and works in London. Collections include the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Oxford, England; Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, England; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Germany; Jewish Museum, Berlin; Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Exhibitions include Edmund de Waal at Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, England (2012); On White: Porcelain Stories from the Fitzwilliam, Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, England (2013); Atmosphere, Turner Contemporary, Margate, England (2014); white: a project by Edmund de Waal, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2015); During the Night, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (2016); white island, Museu d’Art Contemporani d’Eivissa, Ibiza, Spain (2018); –one way or other–, Schindler House, Los Angeles (2018); elective affinities, Frick Collection, New York (2019), and psalm, Museo Ebraico and Ateneo Veneto, Venice (2019). In 2018, de Waal created his first set design, for Yugen, a ballet by choreographer Wayne McGregor, at the Royal Opera House, London. De Waal is also renowned for his family memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes (2010), which won the RSL Ondaatje Prize and the Costa Biography Award, among others, and has been translated into over thirty languages. Other titles include a Tate critical study on Bernard Leach (1997), 20th Century Ceramics (2003), The Pot Book (2011), and The White Road (2015). In 2015, de Waal was awarded the Windham-Campbell Prize for nonfiction by Yale University. _____ Edmund de Waal, Wu-chüeh: two poems, 2020, kaolin, gold leaf, graphite, compressed charcoal, and oil stick on ash, in aluminum frame, 36 1/4 × 26 × 3 inches (92 × 66 × 7.5 cm) © Edmund de Waal

A swirling labyrinth of cardboard conceals sculptures at the Mirror of Judgement exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London designed by Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto / 2011. For his exhibition at the Serpentine, titled The Mirror of Judgement, the artist has devised a labyrinth that guides visitors through the Gallery’s interior where they discover a series of sculptural works. He described the labyrinth as ‘a winding and unforeseeable road that leads us to the place of revelation, of knowledge.’ Pistoletto’s maze alters the viewers’ understanding of the architecture and makes each one a fundamental part of the work itself.

Davide Macullo Architects Book
We are delighted to announce the release of
Davide Macullo Architects
Feeling Space by Philip Jodidio
published by Skira
Click here to order
Though his projects remain resolutely modern, Davide Macullo has found a path that connects his work to what can be called Architecture (with an upper-case A). He is not an ego-driven giver of new forms, but instead a subtle, sensitive interpreter of needs and desires, some expressed, some more innate. He does not come to his work armed with codes as he puts it, doing his best instead to read the meanings of time and space, in order to make residents feel that they have arrived in a place where feelings mean something, where emotion and beauty still reign.
SPECIFICATIONS Size: 24 x 28 cm Pages: 208 pp ISBN: 885724326 Price: € 46.00
Davide Macullo Architects Studio Profile
Davide Macullo Architects is an international design studio founded in 2000 and based in Lugano in southern Switzerland and in Vimercate, Milan, Italy.
Davide Macullo Architetto – main page with info + images for current buildings
PROFILE
Davide Macullo (b. Giornico, CH, 1965) is a Swiss architect. His international design studio, Davide Macullo Architects, based in Lugano, Switzerland, was founded in 2000.
The ethos of the studio is one that studio promotes an open and cultural exchange with architects, artists and collaborators coming from different backgrounds. The diverse contributions promote a dialogue between the specificity of the project, the universality of the contexts and the psychology of space. This ‘drawing from context’ encourages and helps sustain a local-meets-global, embracing approach to architecture, spanning from the theoretical to the practical and detail level, to territorial analysis, pedagogy and sustainability in construction.
The work of the studio includes graphic design, branding consulting and custom designed furniture, and spans to the creation of contemporary art collections for clients. They have also recently produced a customized collection of rugs for the new Chenot Palace Weggis, and a large series of Davide’s drawings (280 nr.) is included in its art collection.
In Rossa, Canton Grisons, he is a founding member of the Rossarte foundation which promotes public and private interventions in situ by international artists to influence daily life through contemporary art. The first building is the Swisshouse XXXII (Sinusoïde) created in collaboration with Daniel Buren and Mario Cristiani of Galleria Continua.
Prior to the foundation of his own studio, he was project architect in the atelier of Mario Botta with responsibility for over 200 international projects worldwide (1990-2010).
Recent projects include the newly opened Chenot Palace Weggis Health Wellness Hotel, Switzerland; the headquarters of Jansen AG in Oberriet, Switzerland; Samson Assuta Ashdod University Hospital in Ashdod, Israel; WAP ART Foundation, gallery and residence in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea; a Private Museum in Jeju, South Korea; 5* Hotel and SPA facilities in Greece; the Sino-Swiss centre in Tianjing China; a beachfront villa in Heraklion, Greece; several houses in Switzerland and abroad and urban developments in Albania.

Serpentine Pavilions
As you know, since the year 2000, the Serpentine Gallery in London invites a different architect from around the globe to design an annual pavilion set to be built at the entrance/garden of such place. The gallery gives them a budget and total freedom of design, however, it does require them a sitting area to have lectures, eat, contemplate the gardens and so on.
Since I wanted a justification and say why my personal favorite is the best, I decided to rank every one of them. Listen, I have my personal preferences when it comes to architecture but I tried to be a little bit more neutral here.
So here they are, from worst to best:
20. The lounge (2010). Jean Nouvel.
Sir, you were commissioned to design a pavilion; this is a sports bar/lounge area, visitors are feeling excluded. Please, leave the room.
19. The mountain (2004). MVRDV.
These architects ignored their budget and their pavilion was never built; they wanted to cover the gallery under a huge mountain but, why would you persuit that artistic idea when Christo already exists?
18. The tunnel (2015). Selgas Cano.
This tunnel simply goes to nowhere. You enter and there’s not so much to do in there... then you go out.
17. The stone hill (2019). Junya Ishigami.
Half of Ishigami’s idea was borrowed from SAANAS’ pavilion from ten years earlier. But the hillside effect outside and underneath were kind of cute.
16. The theatre (2007). Kjetil Thorsen & Olafur Eliasson.
This was just so… over designed…
15. The chapel (2016), Bjarke Ingels.
This is a great entrance hall to the gallery, I give him that. However, Mr. Bjarke ���idea” was not something new, Sou Fujimoto had a similar aproach three years earlier.
14. The old school roof (2005). Alvaro Siza & Edoardo Souto de Moura.
These two were like, “just call the engineer”.
13. The balloon (2006). Rem Koolhaas.
This was one of the few pavilions that didn’t require a huge effort to be built, but it did have an effective impact on the landscape. Take a note, MVRDV.
12. The terrace (2003). Oscar Niemeyer.
Somehow, Oscar Niemeyer made a pavilion about himself… but it was great. A little bit less of its “wine tasting room” vibe would have been great.
11. The donut (2014). Smiljan Radic.
Playful, useful and family friendly.
10. The structure (2002). Toyo Ito.
Toyo Ito said “I’m gonna give you structure, I’m gonna give you views and something for the architecture students to copy over and over again”.
9. The garden (2011). Peter Zumthor.
Zumthor decided that the gallery garders were too sterile, so he gave then an actual garden to contemplate.
8. The mirror (2009). SAANA.
Sejima and Nishizawa know western architects are too invasive, so they tried to deliver the less possible: a roof that hiddens with the reflection of the garden.
7. The Maya ball field (2008). Frank Gehry.
He really paid respect to the gallery behind by making it the pavilion’s focal point. Not to mention the grandstand was used for a great variety of activities.
6. The origami (2001). Daniel Libeskind.
This structure just has so many posibilites. You bring your kids, they play around; you have a conference, you have a shelter, you want a sculputure for your gallery, you got it.
5. The 3D sketch (2013). Sou Fujimoto.
Fujimoto sketched a bunch thin lines for his pavilion, then he explained it to his team and said “I don’t want any strange structural elements to appear and fuck my idea”. And they made it happen.
4. The tent (2000). Zaha Hadid.
This was the first Serpertine Pavilion ever. Actually, the gallery only wanted a tent to celebrate their 30th anniversary but they wanted Hadid to design it. She had a very limited budget but that didn’t interfere to make a statement of her work.
3. The tree (2017). Francis Kéré.
Unlike other architects, Mr. Kéré had a very personal aproach for the pavilion; unlike Ingels, Kéré did have a concept. You see, since he was a child, he and his neighbors use to gather around a big tree and, underneath its shade, do a lot of different activities; social and school activities, even medical. That’s what he wanted the visitors to experience.
2. The excavation (2012). Herzog, de Meuron & Ai Weiwei.
The only pavilion underground, covered by a water mirror, a fountiain; as if they were trying to do a newer version of a classical garden. Just brilliant.
1. The celosía (2018). Frida Escobedo.
Unlike many of her predecessors, Frida Escobedo doesn’t have a particular “style” and her work isn’t very much known outside México. Her pavilion isn’t about her but it shows how great designer she is. It really has every requirement the Serpentine Gallery expects from the commisioners; it’s a bridge to the gallery, it’s a place to be in, it’s an object to be contemplated and to contemplate its sorroundings, it’s an imaginitive montage of simple materials; it is a great piece of architecture.

(Echee post) Emma Watson wants her privacy at Café Pacifico in Covent Garden
Posted on May 22 2014.
From standard.co.uk May 2014 "Emma Watson has gone from unknown schoolgirl to Hollywood actress, thanks to playing Hermione in the Harry Potter films. But fame ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.The Londoner spotted Watson at Mexican hotspot Café Pacifico in Covent Garden on Friday, heading to the bar to order some drinks. Heads swivelled, eyes turned upon her and Watson retreated to the corner where her boyfriend Matthew Janney was sitting. Even that didn’t do the trick. Shortly afterwards, he was seen asking a table of customers, all chaps, to move away from their spot to give the star some privacy. Watson is lucky: few would argue with her rugby-playing beau, but he still said please." So she was at a public place drinking and because people were looking at her she had her boyfriend ask them to move so she could have her space and privacy? If she wants her privacy she can go home to drink. Those patrons have every right to be there like she does. Was she being heckled? No. It's natural for some people to get a little star struck around celebrities. Society or more like the business they work for have them made out to be such perfect specimens and better than everyone else that people are bound to check them out when coming across one in public. It's not like they were running up to her asking for autographs and selfies. They were looking going, "Hey look it's Emma Watson". And it's really no different when people spot a really attractive person in a bar or pub. I think it could have been worse don't you? What is it with celebrities like Emma who talk about wanting to be normal and treated like everyone else but then expect special treatment when around us "commoners"? Or maybe they don't want to really fit in. They just want the best of both worlds? As the saying goes they want to have their cake and eat it to. Idk but this is a shit move on her part. Total diva moment for sure.
Here is a couple other stories from this year where Emma is being less than nice and sociable From jamesmeets.wordpress April 2014: ….This only left the two big guns to arrive, Russell Crowe and Emma Watson. A couple of cars pulled into the Square together, which meant one of the two was arriving, but which would it be? Heart in my mouth as out got Emma. Here’s the point at which I should probably provide a bit of a back-story… At one stage, Emma was my favourite person; I grew up watching the Harry Potter films, and when I started this crazy hobby nine years ago there was a (small) list of people I wanted to meet most, and she was very close to the top of that list. However… four years ago I went to Wimbledon for the tennis finals. Rafa Nadal had beaten Thomas Berdych in straight sets in b-e-a-utiful weather. A perfect Sunday afternoon, topped off by spotting Emma leaving the VIP pavilion. I genuinely don’t think I had (or since have) ever been so excited to see one person. I asked her and she said no. It wasn’t a polite no, I’d have no issue with that, but was a downright rude no. It’s hard to describe, but her attitude was really bad. Maybe she was a Thomas Berdych fan? Joking aside, I was gutted, and since then the overarching thought whenever anyone mentioned her was that experience. Even getting an autograph from her at the BAFTAs in 2011 didn’t help change my opinion, as even the hardest signers’ sign at the BAFTAs. Anyways, back to the present… Out got Emma, and in some kind of twisted fate, came straight over to where I was. She signed for the person next to me, and then it was my turn. Despite internally combusting with a mix of excitement and nerves, I managed to tell her I met her at SW19, even with the details of Rafa winning in straight sets, that she’d said no to a photo and I was gutted. I was probably less eloquent than I picture. I asked her if she’d make up for it by posing for a picture now, and she agreed. Say whaaaaaaaaat!!! Her brother (I presume it was her brother, I’ve no idea) took the camera and took an absolutely belting photo. His fan photo
Some comments from this person's page about Emma and the photo: Moviefan2k4-“No offense intended, but are British people always really serious? I’m only asking because Emma’s not smiling in that picture. She almost looks like she didn’t want to be at the screening.” James-”She’s not the nicest person in the world - she probably didn’t want to be there!” Moviefan2k4-“That’s sad; I hope she was just having a rough time, and that isn’t her daily temperament.” Dancingirl1-“Wish she would’ve smiled.” James-“It is. I met her four years ago and she was plain rude. Only reason I got this photo was because I told her how disappointed I was back then.” I bet if he was a hot guy she'd have no problem taking a photo with him. I bet that had something to do with it. She just seems like the type that would be so shallow. Plus she is there to promote Noah so she should be nice. It's part of the job detail. She can't work the crowd a little? It's not like she does it everyday. Idk but if I was making millions solely off the backs of working people I'd be ecstatic that they wanted my autograph. Here is another one From raleightelegram.com April 2014, "The after party was at the Central Park boathouse and they packed up 10 tour buses to get everyone over there.Jennifer Connolly sans any bodyfat whatsoever was shivering on the freezing cold carpet. Russell Crowe, who isn’t known for his social graces, was a surprisingly pleasant and social butterfly both on the carpet and at the after-party, even snapping selfies with me, Stephen, and rapper 50 Cent, while Jennifer Connolly looked on. At the party, Emma Watson sat drinking surrounded by friends and a formidable blonde haired woman guarding her. Emma didn’t chat with guests like Russell and the rest of the cast did, and she was a bit rude and snotty to me and other folks. Her guard was equally as unpleasant. I later learned this tough blonde was a hired bodyguard to protect her from stalkers. Emma was also the last celeb to leave the party, probably waiting for the bar to close." Ok she has a bodyguard but does she have to be rude to people at a party where you have to have credentials and be invited to attend? I'm sure she's as safe there as she would be in a panic room. She has her "formidable" bodyguard with her. Is it that much of a task to be nice to people. And one more From skinnygossip.com Feb.2014, "When she was in Iceland filming Noah she went to the bar I was working at. I didn’t see this but I heard some yelling from outside. Later I was told that she threw a hissyfit at a doorman for not letting her skip the line. She apparently kept screaming and yelling “do you know who I am?”. Such a cliché, I hope she was drunk…" Here is her latest tongue lashing moment of a service worker At first I thought she was upset with her new boy toy but actually she is giving some lip service to the security guard in the parking lot for a Rugby match. Her boy toy has to console her because she's upset about something. Oh the humanity!! lol
Click here to see her same reaction when yelling at cab driver in London and if you want to see her on video get upset at another event click here to watch her get animated about having to walk with Rupert Grint instead of staying on the arm of HP producer David Heyman.

'SRI LANKA STOP KILLING TAMILS' JEGAN Australia
It has always been near impossible to get the international media to cover the Sri Lankan government’s violence against the Tamils. In the late 90s, as the atrocities escalated, the world was more interested in celebrating Sri Lanka’s cricketing heroes than exposing the Tamil genocide.
Early in 1999, when the Sri Lankan cricket team played in the 1998–99 Carlton and United Series in Australia, in utter desperation at the world’s silence, we hired a skywriter to write “Sri Lanka Stop Killing Tamils” above the Sydney Cricket Ground during one of the matches.
The decision to do this was not an easy one. There was a view that our fundraising efforts should be sent to those affected by the war in Eelam. This was a valid concern, however, it was also an important opportunity to put Sri Lanka’s crimes on the international stage.
The total cost was $7000 AUD. We found 25 sponsors to donate $100 for each letter. A few businesses and individuals covered the rest. We fundraised specifically for this campaign.
While I was worried that we would be in trouble with the police, the skywriter didn’t seem too phased.
The plane started writing around the time the game started at 2pm. We were lucky that we had clear blue skies with no winds to scatter the smoke. It was impossible for anyone watching the cricket to miss the white letters which stood out prominently against the blue. The pilot told us that the height of each letter was 1km and the width was 750m.
During the time of the skywriting, I was in a car with another activist near the SCG watching anxiously. Within 10 minutes of the writing ending, we received a phone call from an overseas number. We nervously picked up the phone, not sure what to expect. It was the co-ordinator of the diaspora Tamil activists and he praised us for our creativity in putting the violence against the Tamils on the international stage. His support gave us a bit of confidence that the large amounts of money we had spent were justified. A few days later there was another match in Melbourne and the same message was written there. A news outlet that covered what happened in Australia, and it was our then spokesperson who spoke to the journalist who covered it. She said that the journalist had asked about the cost. Our spokesperson explained that while it was a lot of money, it was one of the ways our community could try to raise awareness, given that the media was not interested in covering the violence. ****** We have not been able to track down any photos or find out which news outlet covered the action. * In 1984, a year after the Black July pogrom, when the Sri Lankan cricket team was at Lords in London for their first test match, Tamil protesters ran onto the field with banners and lay on the pitch. You can watch the footage here. * In 19 May 1999, UK Tamil activists skywrote "Killing Tamils is just not cricket” while Sri Lanka was playing against South Africa at the County Ground. * In 2011, a yellow weather balloon bobbed up above the Lord's pavilion in the UK. It had "Boycott Sri Lanka" scrawled on the side in thick black ink. * In 2012, Trevor Grant, a former chief cricket writer at The Age called for Australia to boycott the Sri Lankan cricket team. Trevor became an unrelenting champion for Tamil justice and become an active and vocal member of the Tamil Refugee Council and a close friend to many of the Tamil activists. We lost another selfless soul, when he passed away in 2017.
