George Clooney and Brad Pitt hold a surreal press conference for their upcoming movie Burn After Reading.

Burn After Reading is the story about two gym workers who find a CIA agent’s memoirs. The CIA agent is played by John Malkovich.

The press conference’s highlights feature a reporter asking George Clooney if she can “join their team” to which George Clooney responds, “It’s a movie.”  Following up, the reporter asks if she can run around with George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Clooney says that he might have to run away from the reporter.

At the conclusion of the press conference, reporters dash to the podium like crazed fans to meet their favorite stars.

It must be fun working the Hollywood beat. It looks like the reporters are having a lot of fun.

I watched the Democratic National Convention last night and saw Chelsea Clinton looking very nice while introducing her mother, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I do have to admit that she has done a great job raising Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton has shown herself to be an attractive and intelligent young woman, even if her politics mirror her mother’s.

Maybe as Chelsea Clinton grows older and spends more and more time with her Wall Street friends — she worked (or maybe still works) for a hedge fund (and we all saw that CNBC report about how the hedge fund folks are all making $900 million a year) — she’ll move more to the center of the political spectrum. If that happens, look for Chelsea Clinton to become a political force, if she wants to be.

I’m watching the biographical video of Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention while surfing the web and came across a picture of Michelle Obama and Sasha Obama on the stage in Denver.  It’s a nice picture of Michelle Obama and her daughter, Sasha, so I figured I’d share it with everyone.

I never did get a chance to see Barack Obama when he was in Northwest Indiana, but I did get to attend Michelle Obama’s speech at Merrillville Intermediate School. It’s always interesting to watch people from Chicago enter into the national spotlight.

Even if you don’t agree with Michelle and Barack Obama’s politics, you have to admit that they have a nice family.

An Italian priest plans to run a blog-based beauty contest for nuns called Miss Sister 2008, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.  Other sources call the competition Sister Italia.

The father setting up the nuns only beauty competition expects that some beauties will apply — especially from Africa and Latin America.

Antonio Rungi — the priest writing the Miss Sister 2008 blog — makes a point of mentioning Brazilian nuns!

Says Father Antonio Rungi in the Times Online UK: “‘Do you really think nuns are all wizened, funereal old ladies? Today it’s not like that any more, thanks to an injection of youth and vitality brought to our country by foreign girls.’ He said there were nuns from Africa and Latin America who were ‘really very, very pretty. The Brazilian girls above all.’”

Is a nun beauty contest a good or bad thing?

Second question: Has anyone been able to locate Miss Sister 2008?

More:  Maybe Miss Sister 2008 isn’t such a bad thing.
