These days I guess, aside from being a charismatic and eloquent leader, you'll also have to be celebrity potential to make it in politics. Candidates Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have both scheduled so-called appearances on Saturday Night Live. Although I do agree it is one of the most-watched television shows of all time but I see enough of them in the news already!
Anyway if they do want to make waves, I guess that will have to be the way to go. Tina Fey has been slotted to play Sarah Palin in Saturday Night Live's famous impersonations. That should be pretty good.
Sarah Palin's family life has been scrutinized along with her fashion sense - which isn' so bad I think. Now that both parties are entering the celebrity arena, it's no wonder why Paris Hilton would react to McCain.
I think politicians have come to realize that show business is the best way to brain wash people. It's the best way to reach people and also the most entertaining way, enough so that audiences won't find politicians boring at the same time see them in a positive light - in the same way that everyone wants to look up to Brangelina and talk about celebrities, my guess is they're looking for the same impact.

The terminator series started with now-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger leading the rage, he wasn't even American then I think but he did get the cyborg thing down so that panned down okay. Terminator was a major box office hit. Not only was it teemed with amazing gadgets and state-of-the-art robotic features, it also boasted of an original story-line of a robot from the future sent to destroy and later protect a child who was to become the pivotal character in shaping the world's destiny.
Looking back on it now makes me feel nostalgic at the same time sad. Today there are so many stories alike it's hard to find anything as original. Back then, it was so novel you'd understand why they're still trying to revive "Terminator" again and again.
But now that the story is no longer original, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" follows the story of Sarah, played by Lena Headey, and son John, played by Thomas Dekker, after they decide to stop running from a destructive race of evil machines from the future and fight back against them. Cameron (played by Summer Glau), who herself is a robot, acts as a guardian to John so that he might one day fulfill his prophecy as the savior of mankind. This story stems from the old series - what they've found that's original is hot new terminator in the person of Summer Glau. This is a good thing too.
Although Arnold Schwarzenegger is iconic as the terminator and no one can ever debate that he made the franchise as profitable as it is now, but suffice it to say - recreating another ala Arnold Schwarzenegger personality would have been very difficult.
With female empowerment all over the news, and men would are quite open to see hot girls kick butt, the new terminator I think has grown her own following. I saw that there was even a poll to compare Arnold Schwarzenegger and Summer Glau to see who was the better terminator! I vote Summer hands down, way hotter!
Previously, Glau has appeared in other sci-fi roles such as River Tam on USA's "Firefly" and Tess Doerner on "The 4400."
She used to be a tango dancer if you could believe that, and got hurt so she had to take odd jobs so ended up in the acting business! Good for us!

Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one.
