Hooray For Hollywood!

OSLO, Norway - Global celebrities, including Hollywood stars Salma Hayek' and
Julianne Moore', praised Nobel peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei Sunday for his efforts to save humanity from nuclear weapons.

The stars were gathered in the Norwegian capital to perform in the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert, this year in honor of ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency'.
"ElBaradei said the largest threat to world security and all of our futures is (nuclear) terrorism," Moore, a three-time Oscar nominee, said at a news conference. "There is nothing more pressing right now than a global effort for peace and control of these
materials. I don't think there is anything more pressing ... than the future of mankind."
Moore, 44, and 39-year-old Mexican actress Hayek are joint masters of ceremony for the concert, which features artists including Gladys Knight, Duran Duran, Westlife and Sugababes.

So, at least the music is A list.

The Nobel continues to revel in it's status as a famous stick in the eye of America. Here's all you need to know about this douche bag ElBaradai...

During ElBaradei's term as Director General for the IAEA, the following countries have joined the nuclear club: India, Pakistan, and North Korea. Iran is currently "negociating" entry.

Luckily, Hollywood stars were on hand to explain it all to us schlubs...

"He's trying to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of dangerous people. That gives hope for the whole world," said Colombian rock star Juanes, who uses one name and is a hugely popular in Spanish-speaking countries. "I think the most important thing for all of us is the future of our families, our children."
Hayek, nominated for a best actress award for her role in the film "Frida", said peace can only come when people change their way of thinking."When we can collectively, as a social conscience, dream a dream of peace, this is when peace will become a very tangible reality," she said.American singer Knight said, "I am proud to be part of something that is definitely so moving and uplifting. ... I probably would never have know of this wonderful accomplishment by such an extraordinary man if it were not for the Nobel Peace Prize."

Thanks Selma, hey, here's a thought, why don't you run for office?

Oh, and Jaunes-holio? That's exactly what he isn't doing, but nice try, come gain, we have some lovely parting gifts.
