hibou you will always find some Hollywood people there. Often they have some movie in mind and take in the scene so they can send their second unit over to take a few shots which will then be included in one of their movies. Exactly Paca. Ron Howard is filming a new movie called Rush, which is about famous Formula 1 rivalries James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1970s. He may be there for background info or may even be filming portions in Monaco. If so, he would need Albert's permission to film in Monaco. So of course someone like Ron Howard would schmooze with Albert and attend his gala if that means getting permission to film. In general, I wouldn't expect to see a Oscar-winning director like Ron Howard schmoozing with Albert because he is so enthralled with him. Albert and Charlene just do not have the star/IT factor to attract the Hollywood A-listers to come to Monaco just to be able to schmooze with them.

they would get permission anyways, but they might get a better deal, more support etc. plus, since time is money in Hollywood, the paperwork will be done faster. But in general for some reason people in Hollywood think that you need to know people in MC to get what you want. It is just not true. They hardly ever deny filming. They actually seek it. But I guess even Hollywood people think they are someone if they know someone and can fool themselves into thinking that if they know someone it will give them an advantage. It is weird. But basically a secretary handing in the correct paperwork will probably be more successful then Ron Howard trying to brief Assbert.

But basically a secretary handing in the correct paperwork will probably be more successful then Ron Howard trying to brief Assbert. Actually, there was a lot of noise last summer about a French movie that was denied permission to film in Monaco. The movie was about a hill-billy/"po" white trash family that hit the lottery and moved to Monaco. Clearly, Albert felt that this was not the type of publicity/image he wanted for Monaco, so permission was denied. The film opened on the weekend of Albert's wedding. I think the article was posted on the board because I remembered someone joking that the family sounded like the Wittstock. Regardless, Ron Howard is not the type of man who will be schmoozing with Albert for leisure - as opposed to business. He is very much a committed family man - married to the same woman (smart professional college educated woman) for over 35 years. Although his parents were in the business and he was a successful kid star (I still think of him as Opie), Ron stated that his parents made sure that he and his brother (who also acted) were well grounded in reality. Ron attended high school and even studied in college at USC. He just doesn't seem the type to be schmoozing with Albert and Charlene - unless it was business.

I think these Hollywood people all know how to play the game and who they need to butter up and who doesn't need or want it.
I think I really hate Sophies dress. She really looks like a dowdy housewife in her 50s there. I think she could really do much better then what she is doing. She has a pretty enough face and she seems to be aging well.
Wonder what she is taking pics of.

yes, certainly 50s and it makes her look that age too. Honestly, the queen wears nicer outfits then that and she actually lived during the 50s. IMO Sophie dresses in a lot of ways older then her age. She is usually appropriately dressed, but it just doesn't reflect her age. I believe that nowadays women her age dress younger then they used to. Sophie dresses old. My granny would have dressed that way at her age.

These two photos have been touched up as well - just not as much as usual. Her skin is much worse and wrinkled in un-retouched photos - and her features are harder than they appear here. Photoshopping makes a huge difference in how Charlene appears. The palace's photographers always tend to soften Charlene features almost trying to make her resemble Grace as much as possible. Sometimes you will see dramatic differences in Charlene's face based on who released the photos. Look at the difference in Charlene's face in these two photos - this is her real face instead of the fictional Hollywood face that those delusional people in Monaco want to give her as depicted in the third photo.

The top looks like it made from that OILCLOTH material they used to make table clothes from in the 50's! And the shoes are simply hideous. Hidious! ;D Some photos from the gala dinner. I am thinking they it took time to release them because they either shooed away the porn stars and prostitutes or controlled which photos were released or taken. Seriously, you know these women stayed around to attend this gala.

You know one either has style and flair or not. And Charlene just doesn't have IT at all. Poor thing just doesn't possess a filter for what's right and what's not and what good and what's not! (And apparently her handlers don't either!) Also - NO WEDDING RING again. Ah, true love! ;D It's nice to see her wear colour, but not all over the same colour. The pants with a white top would have been IMO a better choice. I still would have found that thing around her shoulders odd, especially since underneath is a pretty non discript top. But it would have looked better IMO. Besides the colour of the top was due to different fabric not exactly matched to the pants and that was another flaw. Exactly Paca. Charlene tried to match color all around and she din't care about matching fabric nor style of the three pieces. Again, Charlene takes her cue from silly women on the Internet. The all one color is even worse than we saw - because her purse was a big blue one to match all the blue in the pants, top, and shoulder thingy. Pic1 ** Pic2: Albert and Charlene with her big blue purse!A back, side and front view of this ridiculous outfit!

She treats her wedding and engagement ring like it is another piece of accessory - she wears it occasionally based on what outfit she is wearing. How hard is it to just keep the band on or at least wake up and put it on every morning. I've never seen newly weds as them who are so lackadaisical about their wedding rings. This i just a simple task for a marriage and they cannot even do this right.

What's going on with that left breast of hers? I noticed it in yesterdays photos as well. It is decidedly lower than the right one. Also notice the way her crotch looks in that black skirt in one of the shots - 3rd photo - looks really very very strange - just saying ... and, Is Mike Powers hanging out publicly with these two more than he used to? or am I just noticing him more?

I don't think it is Mike Powers in the ball pics. At least I haven't noticed him. BUt I did notice that crotch bit. The skirt gives her stomack a weird look, buta bit lower it is way worse. I also noticed that she is completely out of tune with the rest of the people at the table. It's really weird. Almost like she is in a parallel world. She is also trying her demure pose and I think that is why her reactions are different. SHe certainly is smitten with Webber and for the first time she really seems to be enjoying an event.

Isn't that Mike Powers in the middle laughing behind the two idiots in the first photo? Maybe it's someone else that sort of looks like Powers to me.
