With juvenile humour and moronic profanity, Movie 43 might be the saddest, most pathetic film of 2013, and possibly any year

You want juvenile, gross-out humour? Smutty language? Moronic profanity? I have just the movie for you, made over four years — and here are just a few of the stars: Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Uma Thurman, Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts.
Admittedly, Gerard Butler, Johnny Knoxville and Josh Duhamel are in it too; but with a cast this strong, how bad could it be?
The answer is: this could be the saddest, most pathetic film of 2013, and possibly any year, though I would need to re-see Freddy Got Fingered, Sex Lives Of The Potato Men and the entire oeuvre of Adam Sandler before I could be completely certain.

Bad baste: Hale Berry cannot blame her agent for her appearance in what has been hailed as the 'Citizen Kane of awful'

One American critic has hailed Movie 43 as ‘the Citizen Kane of awful’. That is no exaggeration.
It’s a clumsily assembled collection of the world’s least funny sketches, based on the most tasteless ideas anyone could dream up. The genius who put this together is Peter Farrelly, though 11 other directors are involved, all old enough to know better.

 

Their track record alone should be enough to warn you off. Steve Carr directed Daddy Day Care and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Steven Brill made Little Nicky and Mr Deeds. Farrelly’s own recent pictures have included the execrable Hall Pass. All those pictures have attracted one of my coveted turkeys, but it’s fair to say that Movie 43 contains their very worst work.
The American framing device had an insane screenwriter (Dennis Quaid) pitching comedy ideas to an understandably frightened movie executive (Greg Kinnear).
The UK version begins with three teenage boys on the internet, trying to track down ‘the most dangerous film in the world’, a video nasty called Movie 43. It’s even less funny.

Is it my fault? Despite a star-studded cast, including Kate Winslet, Movie 43 has been panned by critics across the globe

In both versions, the sketches start off with Hugh Jackman (who until this fiasco was in with a chance of Best Actor at the Oscars) attempting to chat up Kate Winslet with testicles dangling from his neck. The sketch is so boring and overlong that I found myself looking at my watch within five minutes of the film starting.
Miraculously, the picture manages to go downhill from there. Racist, homophobic, misogynistic, child-molesting, incest, sexually transmitted disease and poo jokes abound, not one of them amusing.
You come out, feeling unclean and shocked — not so much at the content, as the fact that one Hollywood star agreed to be in this, let alone dozens.

Lowest of low: Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville in 'embarrassing' scene where they kidnap a leprechaun played by Gerard Butler

Halle Berry famously blamed her agent for making her play Catwoman. She has only herself to blame for being in something infinitely more humiliating. I had to look away during the scene where she uses the turkey baster.
In a movie that’s all low points, possibly the most embarrassing scene is one where two idiots (Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville, typecast) kidnap a foul-mouthed leprechaun (Gerard Butler) for his crock of gold. The sketch is a crock of a quite different material, since there are no jokes, only profanities, and Butler makes just as bad a job of an Irish accent as he normally does of an American one.
After Playing For Keeps, many people were wondering if Mr Butler could sink any lower. It’s official. He has now crashed through the bottom of the barrel and is burrowing through the slime beneath.
But maybe the worst bit is the sight of Elizabeth Banks being urinated on by a cat. Or Anna Faris asking her boyfriend to defecate on her. Or a young girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) being cruelly ridiculed for her first period. It’s a tough call.
On both sides of the Atlantic, the film has been dumped on an unsuspecting public without advance screenings for critics. Now you know why.

What's New in Fashion Tote Bags and Womens Purses

Womens purses and fashion tote bags are both practical items and must-have fashion accessories. A great bag can add a pop of color to neutrals or bring a fresh look to classic separates. One of the easiest ways to participate in the latest fashion is to find a fabulous bag in the season's hottest colors, prints, or materials. For those who enjoy designer items it's hard to beat a fabulous bag.

Part of the fun of shopping for bags is that there is such a wide variety. They can be expensive luxury items made from high-end materials or they can be quirky fashion tote bags found at a bargain price. In style they can be formal or casual, hip or basic, plain or monogrammed.

The monogrammed or personalized bag is one of several upcoming trends, especially when combined with the toggles and grommets that have been popular for the last few years. The monogram may appear on the bag itself or on an attachment such as a decorative tag.

The concept of monograms is of course a classic, but what sets the new womens purses apart is how the letters are being visualized. When done as an elegant script graphic the monogram serves as part of the design of the bag and helps give it a distinctive look.

For evening and formal occasions, the clutch remains popular and we are seeing new adornments such as metallic charms and dangling beads to catch the eye. Also appearing are bows and ruffles made of leather, following on the style of the more edgy or club type of eveningwear.

Fashion tote bags are getting a lot of play this season and are likely to be a hot item going forward. You can find fashion tote bags that are well-designed and made from a variety of practical and attractive materials. This is another area where monogramming is very popular. Nowadays everyone is more environmentally aware and the movement towards bringing your own bags when shopping has moved out into the mainstream. Throwaway bags accumulate faster than you can recycle them and no one really wants all those ugly plastic bags, anyway. Who wouldn't rather have a cute and stylish bag that's sturdy enough to hold your purchases, yet complements the rest of your outfit, and is uniquely your own?

Messenger Bags Look Hip However You Use Them

The usefulness of a bag of some form cannot be underestimated. Not only are they a great storage solution, but they can also often be used as a fashion accessory. There is nothing quite as cool as having your own bag to wear when you want to keep all those essentials safe in a secure place. The bag is particularly useful for those times when you need to transport certain belongings from one place to another.

Messenger bags are currently viewed as being one of the hippest types of bags on the market. Mens bags such as these can be carried over one shoulder via a strap and will rest in front of your mid riff area. They are not limited to use in one particular situation. A messenger bag can be used when you are riding your bike, walking into town or going on holiday. They are designed to offer you comfort and ensure that your body is not weighed down by the contents of the bag.

The one great thing about this type of bag is that it makes it that little bit easier to gain access to the contents, as opposed to a rucksack which needs removing from your shoulder/s if you want to open it up. You don't even need to remove the bag as the zip or Velcro strap can often be opened right below your eye line. Even if your bag succumbs to a little bit of wear and tear, you will notice that it develops in character and will age beautifully in appearance.

For those who like to pay homage to days gone by, retro bags are a perfect fit. Emblazoned with a logo or brand name from your youth, these kind of bags will enable you to prove yourself as a chic and sophisticated person.

Are you looking, LeAnn? Brandi Glanville revels in playing with HER boys while she washes the car (showing off her great pins)

It must have seemed, as she lay crumpled on her closet floor after discovering her husband was having an affair, that Brandi Glanville would never have the last laugh.
That's the scene she recounts her new book Drinking and Texting and Other Brandi Blunders -  which has been as much career-defining as it has been cathartic - and only the hard-hearted would fail to summon empathy given its candid style.
So no matter how gruesome you feel Brandi's revelatory prose to be, it's hard not to enjoy her having a bit of a chuckle as she sheds an unflattering shade of limelight on her cheating ex, Eddie Cibrian, and his new wife LeAnn Rimes.

And snap, the job's a game! Brandi Glanville made light work of washing her car on Thursday with son Mason to help her... and share some laughs

The book isn't even released until February 13 and we've already heard how Eddie became impotent after taking a supplement to prevent hair loss and that she spent $12,000 of his money getting her vagina 'rejuvenated.'
She's also recounted her horror at stumbling upon a furtive exchange between the adulterers after LeAnn smeared cake frosting onto her chest and asked Eddie if he wanted to lick it off.

So on Thursday, as she happily played up to the camera while washing her car and playing in a darling fashion with her youngest boy Mason, you couldn't help thinking that she deserved this moment.

Never a chore: Brandi is having her vengeance upon Eddie and LeAnn and is riding high; but she still obviously makes time to be the best mother she can be

He loves his mommy! Brandi has taken issue with LeAnn for referring to her sons as hers but it's clear that mommy means the most to Mason in this shot

Perfect form: The cuckolded beauty showed off her very toned physique

Brandi, 40, also used the opportunity to show off her incredible legs in a pair of cut-off denim shorts.
Brandi appeared at a launch party for the book in West Hollywood on Tuesday, where she made some outspoken comments about LeAnn.
When questioned about her ex’s new wife she said: ‘She can go f**k herself!,' before adding: 'Well, she has to, because who would want to?’

Perfect form: The cuckolded beauty showed off her very toned physique

Hard at work: Brandi was also aided by her eldest son Jake, but only Mason is in shot

Pictures then emerged of LeAnn in West Hollywood looking like she was crying - which she has denied.
'Boys and girls, I was not crying yesterday at lunch,' she wrote on Twitter. 'We ate and hugged goodbye. I must have been so sad to see all of them go 3 blocks to the establishment where we were all ending up. #givemeabreakwiththebulls***tmeadiaheadlines. Lol thanks for all the sweet concern though.'
