Eva Longoria is the only one who put on a genuinely 'happy to meet you' face when meeting CC. Or, she's a better actress than the others...  Eva La Rue is as cute as a chipmunk, but that's an unfortunate last name. And Richard Belzer, was that before or after he gave the Nazi salute? I met him at a wedding in the Caribbean and can tell the Nazi hunters out there he has a farmhouse in Bozoul (?!)  |

I love Eva's gown! Gabourey Sidibe looks like someone just threw some tacky fabric over her body and called it a dress, I know she is a big girl, but a skilled designer can make something flattery even with her figure. Rossana Arquette and her daughter Zoe Blue Sidel look like they are going to a funeral.  Michael Madsen and his wife DeAnna - don't know who they are, but his wife screams a woman who is desperate for attention. Look how she is poking out both her butt and breast; it looks painful to do.  Argentinian actress Sandra Vidal looks like big bird in her yellow dress

Eva Longoria must be really desperate or she didn't take her stylist along, but honestly she's been wearing the worst outfits these days. Eva La Rue looks a lot better in that yellow dress, though she needs to downsize her fake boobs. She really doesn't need them. SHe has a pretty face. Those boobs are only distracting from it. They make her look like a pornqueen.
I am a bit shocket that Fillion is as fat as Fatbert these days. My kids love castle. Our Friday evening watch together before they need to go night night.....

Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen - what a nice figure she has and the gown really flatters her figure! ...whereas Crystal Allen's gown does nothing for her great figure Karole Rocher's dress makes her look like a drab box - a black and white scribble box Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton - Kenzie's black and white dress completely swallows her - she has a beautiful petite figure but you cannot find in in this gown. No problem finding Madeleine Stowe's figure in this gown - you can see completely everything she has

Quite true., Charlene has received very wrong advice from those who told her she should wear simple non pattern clothing. This woman needs prints and color to make her look alive. |

It is so painful watching this woman's face, She has totally disfigured and destroyed her naturally beautiful looks. Hunter really was one of those rare true natural beauties, but she did not know when to stop with her surgeries. She lost a teenager son a few years ago and also went through a divorce. I wouldn't be surprised if hose two factors influenced her constant disfiguring of her face.  |

I've seen Eva La Rue's yellow outfit somewhere on a beach as a bathing suit and sarong. I prefer the Argentinian yellow dress but it could have used soft short sleeves to balance the whole thing. Madeleine Stowe always reminds me of the scene in The Last of the Mohicans where she and Daniel Day Lewis make use of his native outfit  but I digress. Where was I?  Here are pics from the photo-call. I find their outfits more interesting here, especially Gabourey Sidibe: www.upi.com/News_Photos/Entertainment/Monte-Carlo-television-festival/th/6738/ |

According to the below brief mention in this Riviera Times article, while Charlene didn't attend the closing ceremony, she was at the palace after party that she and Albert hosted. The Princely couple, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene were joined at the cocktail afterparty at the Monaco Palace by A-list stars including Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria, CSI’s Eva La Rue and Walt Disney’s President Anne Sweeney. Why have both a cocktail reception and an after party the next day. Oh I forgot, Albert and Charlene are not beholden to anyone for the money they lavishly spend. People (sugah loonies) mistakenly believe that since people in Monaco do not pay taxes, the people of Monaco is not directly paying for its royal family, thus Albert and Charlene can spend as they wish. Albert and Charlene do spend as they wish (lavishly), but since the government actually pays a HUGE amount to Albert for his living expenses (unfortunately the amount is unpublished), the people are indirectly paying for Albert's upkeep. There is an opportunity cost involved when the government pays for Albert and Charlene's lavish lifestyle - other public projects and social services suffer - as they did when the govt had to pay $15 million for the wedding. Can you imagine the discourse if the government actually publish how much they pay for Albert and Charlene (and Caro & Steph) lavish lifestyle? |

I think that's why Belzer was trying to reprise a pose from Sasha Cohen's movie The Dictator when he was in Monaco for the festival.

Can you imagine the discourse if the government actually publish how much they pay for Albert and Charlene (and Caro & Steph) lavish lifestyle? Approximately 36 million I believe. Euros that is. Ten million for the prince. And the rest for the upkeep of his palace, his household, his staff, his archives, his cabinet and his orders. Don't know about his sisters. While on the topic, I noted that Albert's income hasn't risen with the addition of a wife. I was curious to know how much more he would get but it turns out to be nothing. I had once made a study of it, with nice graphs indicating the state's income, Albert's income, Rainier's income, the state's expenses, all in absolute figures and in percentages and whatever else I could squeeze in, but it never made the board. Firstly, because I couldn't decide where to put it ;D and secondly because that might have been the time when I went on strike because Albert really married she-who-will-not-be-named. |

I wonder by comparison what the ratio of the British wedding's costs versus windfall have been by the upturn in tourism. I don't think these conventions really cover Monaco's outlay.

I don't think that more tourists travel to England because of Kate. People will always travel to places like London and Paris. No need to advertise. Same with Athens, Rome, New York....these places have all sth to offer for everyone. The difficult part is to get people to look beyond. Of course you have in France the Loire castles, you have castles in Britain and those in Bavaria are huge hit as well. It's the culture and the history of a country that attracts most people. MC does have a history, but it is desperately wanting of culture.

You'd have to look for the figures in a Swedish thread, but Sweden published some numbers for Victoria's wedding. In the end, it wasn't the huge financial success that they had hoped for, I believe it might have been a small loss. Whatever it was, it was mentioned on the (previous?) forum as yet another argument against the enormous financial and touristical wedding of the century delusion that Albert & Co. were suffering from. They should have listened... Don't know about the Waity and Wills wedding. That wasn't really openly promoted as the financial draw of the century, but it might actually have drawn some people and so some money. But with the Jubilee, the Olympics and the wedding, I don't think London has much to complain. |

But with the Jubilee, the Olympics and the wedding, I don't think London has much to complain. The BRF are a well-oiled machine, and the Queen is very mindful of appearing to blow taxpayer $$. She knows how to butter her bread. Albert on the other hand feels he doesn't need to butter anyone's. Thus he doesn't care about anyone but himself. Sad for Monaco. How I wish Rainier had changed the constitution to let Caroline take the throne. Even though some don't like her, at least she'd take the job seriously. JMO. |
