A video of a seemingly 'drunk' baby causing mayhem in a pub has become an internet phenomenon by notching up nearly seven million hits. Swedish filmmaker Johannes Nyholm used his one-year-old daughter Helmi for the clip which has been posted on YouTube. Helmi is filmed downing a number of supposedly alcoholic beers and cocktails before stumbling around the shrunken bar set. She then steals food and drink from other pub goers, played by puppets, and ends up knocking a table over. The one-minute Youtube clip is the trailer for the short film 'Las Palmas' where a middle-aged lady - played by Helmi - goes on holiday to the capital of Gran Canaria. The full length version also apparently features Helmi smoking on a motorbike and asleep on the beach with a bottle of beer at her side. Las Palmas recently won Best Short Film and the Audience Award at the Gothenburg Film Festival despite not being fully finished. Nyholm said: "It's my daughter in the film and she was the inspiration - everything came from her. I've had all manner of reactions to it but most have been very positive. "There has been some criticism though - from using a small child in a film production to making fun of middle aged ladies and Las Palmas."
REALLY RANDOM BUT FUNNY :) Andrew.

Where is Van Damme!!!!!
After watching Tropic Thunder recently with an all-star cast in such as Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise and Jack Black etc. some friends and I got chatting about action movies. Someone asked where the hell is Jean Claude Van Damme? There was a time in the late 80s early 90s you couldn't see an action movie without him in it!! And then almost as if out of no where, he disappears. Well heres the story!
==========
Jean-Claude Van Damme is convinced he was blacklisted in Hollywood after demanding millions for his movies to rival Jim Carrey's pay cheques. The Belgian martial arts star was forced into an early retirement in the 1990s after he snubbed a major film deal in a bid to negotiate a more lucrative offer - only to have industry executives turn their back on him. And he admits a haze of alcohol and excess kept him from realising his error. Appearing on TV show Jean-Claude Van Damme: Behind Closed Doors, he recalls, "After the movie Timecop, I received a huge offer for a three-picture deal and it was 12 million dollars per picture. That's 36 million dollars. I was wasted. I said, 'I want 20 million like Jim Carrey' and they hung up on me. I was not myself. I was completely f**ked up and I made a bad mistake and I was on the blacklist in Hollywood for years." Now the action star is turning down movie projects once again - so he can focus on training for his comeback fight against Thai boxer Somluck Kamsing in November. He adds, "Slowly they want me back for making those theatrical movies but now I've decided to fight. If I win that fight, which will be exceptional, it will bring me another 10 years of health. It's like a repair. So I'm very happy today where I am."

Irish People Still Love Radio :)
New research shows Irish people are still in love with radio, despite the massive growth of digital devices such as iPods and the internet. The study, commissioned by the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland, showed that 95% of respondents said they listened to the radio that day, with two thirds tuning in for more than two hours. Almost three quarters are tuning in for news and information, 69% for music and more than a third for companionship. Eight times more respondents say they sourced news on the radio rather than in a newspaper. A total of 64% said they are using Facebook while listening to the radio, with 19% said they are on Twitter at the same time."This survey confirms the strength of Irish radio and its dominance as an important source of both information and entertainment for the Irish public," said Scott Williams, chairman of the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland."Despite the plethora of new media devices, the love affair between Irish radio and the listening public continues. Some 95% of these people listen to the radio every day, with two thirds tuning in for two or more hours on a daily basis. Radio is perceived as offering the human touch, helping to shape the moods and rhythm of the day”."We are seeing people listening to radio while online and are being prompted to act by what they hear. The power of radio to drive people online to search for products or information is hugely significant for advertisers and highlights the importance of integrating radio and online advertising campaigns. "Radio stations have been quick to recognise the potential of the internet and social media and we must continue to capitalise on the growth opportunities it presents for our sector."
