Imagine that in The Silence of the Lambs, crime-solving collaborators Hannibal and Clarice meet in a chilly bungalow on an island near Stockholm instead a hellhole-ish Baltimore holding pen for the criminally insane.

Except he is a benign middle-aged journalist hired by an elderly mogul to investigate the decades-old disappearance of a niece, and she is a cyber-hacker punk savant with aggressive antisocial tendencies and a vigilante’s sense of justice. That sums up The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the Swedish film based on the first book of the late Stieg Larsson’s wildly popular trilogy, which has sold 27 million copies in more than 40 countries.  Read more….

March is only half over, but it’s already been one helluva ride for Sandra Bullock.

Whenever a celebrity is deemed one of the “most controversial” and one of the “most talented” of all time, be they actors or rock starts or rap stars, their lives become something the general public wants to know everything about. They become a mysterious creature in which people will try to understand, try to figure out. The public will take note of the kinds of cars they drive, the foods they eat, where they go for vacation, and in the case of “Weezy Baby”, otherwise known as Lil Wayne, the public’s obsession is “just how many tattoos does he have?”

Tattoos and rocks stars, they just seem to go together. While some see it as merely a decorative addition, or skin art, the mystery surrounding Lil Wayne’s tattoos is not only how many does he have, but what to they mean. His history is laid out in ink on his skin, from the lids of his eyes to the tips of his fingers and beyond. Reports vary in the number of tattoos from 60 to 300, and his fans have been paying attention not only to his music, of which his sales are topping the charts recently, but to the meanings of the tattoos, specifically the ones on his face. Three of the obvious tattoos that have created a bit of controversy are the teardrops on his cheeks. This is usually a brand that gang members will have signifying the number of people they have killed. Lil Wayne states that he has not killed before, that the three tear drops signify the number of his family members who have been killed.

Another tattoo which causes speculation is the “C” he had tattooed just between his eyes. The “C” sits just above a cross, and some say that this signifies that he is of Christian faith, while others speculate that it signifies his given last name of Carter. While the rapper does not need to generate more notoriety, this kind of mystery, the pondering over his tattoos may be a way to keep the interest going, however he, as stated, is on the top of the charts with his music, and just appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, so it seems that there is much more to this man than the number of tattoos he has added over the years.
