I can't even recap this. I am bawling right now! Here is an exact quote from MSNBC about what the video is about:

Poignant ‘hugging’ lion video inspires movie
Negotiations under way for film rights after reunion becomes YouTube hit

LOS ANGELES - Millions have seen the YouTube video of "Christian the Lion" reuniting in Africa with the two men who bought him from a high-end London department store in 1969.

Sony Pictures aims to bring the story of Christian and the two men, John Rendall and Anthony "Ace" Bourke, to the big screen.

The studio is in the process of securing the life-story rights of Rendall and Bourke and their 1972 book, "A Lion Called Christian."

One of the most-viewed YouTube videos of the reunion features Whitney Houston belting out "I Will Always Love You" in the background to footage from a 1971 documentary about the two men visiting Christian a year after they sent him to Africa to be reintroduced into the wild.

The men are unsure whether Christian will recognize them, and the lion approaches them slowly at first. Christian then rushes toward them and affectionately "hugs" them — provoking tears from nearly everyone who views the video.

PS - I have two weeks before I go to their concert! And someone told me they are at a local Walmart doing a cd signing. If anyone lives in LI and are fans, they are in Westbury.

Amy Winehouse Turns To Buddhism

Vera — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:56:00 -0400

Amy Winehouse has turned to Buddhism in an effort to rid herself of drugs and alcohol. A source told The Sun that Amy was inspired by a band mate who insisted the religion would put the singer back on the right path.

"One of her musicians introduced Amy to Buddhist chanting. She chants for ten minutes in the morning and just before she sleeps. Amy has also been watching the interview clip of Tina Turner on YouTube and she reckons it’s already affecting her in a positive way."

Singer Tina Turner turned to Buddhism after she split from her rocker husband Ike Turner in 1975.

I saw the screencaps. I heard the promo. I mean it sounds like her... It looks like her.... but I just can't believe that Heidi Montag would agree to this. Ah, who am I kidding?

Matt Damon's New Commercial For One

It starts automatically... so I had to put it under the cut.

If interested, here is Matt Damon's commercial thanking those that have contributed to charitable organizations throughout the year. The Bourne Identity star appears to be speaking direct to the camera in this new commercial for ONE - but his voice is provided by a series of unknown campaigners.

As Damon’s lips move, women and men from several ethnic groups can be heard speaking through the actor.

The One ad thanks those who have donated to the cause so far, with Damon’s voices explaining that millions of lives have been saved and "41 million more children have been able to go to school" and "three million more people living with AIDS have access to life-saving medication."

Amy Winehouse Caught Doing Coke At Club... On Video

Vera — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:59:00 -0400

She just doesn't care. That's the end of it. This girl does not care anymore. With flashing lightbulbs and cameras all around her, Amy Winehouse decided she needed a little coke to get her going last month during her DJ set in a Camden pub. Click here to see it.

Now Blaaaakkkke’s mother Georgette Civil wants Amy locked up like her recovering drug addict son son. And last night Georgette told the News of the World:

“Prison will do Amy far more good than Rehab. I’m shocked by the video. When I look at Amy I think: ‘For Christ’s sake, just get a grip of yourself.’ “Enough is enough. “As the police know Amy is a drug addict - and she has now been caught twice on film taking illegal drugs - they should arrest her and put her behind bars. Rehab clinics are a waste of money, unless you want them to work.

“Amy doesn’t want to give up drugs, so she’s got to learn the hard way in prison. “Police have to act. She is making a mockery of the law. It has got to stop. “The price Amy has got to pay is losing her freedom.”

You tell her sister! But there is more. Blaaaakkkeeee's mom believes that Amy is going to be a bad influence on her now cleaned up son. She FEARS for their reunion.

“Since Blake has been in prison Amy has just deteriorated more and more while he has managed to get himself clean inside. Blake told me: ‘I promise you mum, when I get out of prison I will sort Amy out.’ But she has deteriorated to such an extent that I know even Blake can’t save her now.

“Now I don’t want Amy to visit my son. He is doing really, really well without her. Instead Amy must concentrate on getting herself clean. A couple of weeks in rehab won't do it. She needs to stay in there for the next four months until Blake comes out of prison - or be locked up in jail until she gets herself clean. Blake hopes she will beat drugs for him and save their marriage. But it’s clear Amy loves drugs more than her husband. All she seems to care about is her next fix.”

I fear for their reunion as well. For BOTH parties. Blake was no prize before he went into prison. Let's hope what mom is saying is correct. That he has seen the light and has become a better person because of it.
