The Ninja looks at entertainment events in a world transformed by the democratic process.
This is an edition of the Hollywood Ninja in a brand new world. Well, the brand new world is not just the one ushered in by the recent election, but also the opinion voiced by HSX traders about the next version of the Hollywood Stock Exchange. The Ninja salutes the traders for their passionate responses and appreciation for this game. It is indeed you traders who make up this extraordinary community and make this game the one of a kind experience it is.
Onward with Ninja style coverage. Grant Park in Chicago, IL became the historic site where President-elect Barack Obama made his victory speech. The Ninja knows a little something of the city of Chicago, having spent her younger training days enduring and ultimately controlling the cold gusts of wind that threatened to blow her cover. Grant Park was a site where many undercover operations were hatched and were resolved with the help of alcohol and fellow ninja-fighters (partiers). Barack Obama sailed to a smooth victory and became the country's first African-American president.
The Ninja is hopeful that the President-Elect will make a move to heal the environment, as a ninja should always have the pleasure of scaling treacherous terrains and stealing off to obscure corners of the earth. The Ninja is also hopeful that this election will serve to destroy racial and ethnic hatreds. All people should have the pleasure of experiencing friends of different backgrounds, who can then become worthy foes based solely on their skills.
In California, passions rose with the passing of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage. Earlier this year, Ellen Degeneres wed her gal-pal Portia de Rossi while George Takei finally married a man. But, voters said no to gay marriage. As of now, many feel the California courts should toss out the results. With passions soaring on this one, the Ninja cannot call on any future sense to see what will happen.
In more entertainment related news, the Ninja rejoices at the recent singledom of one British director Guy Ritchie (GRITC). The very easy on the Ninja-eyes director bravely survived eight years of marriage to pop-star Madonna (MADON), as her boy-toy spouse. He had a promising career, but with Madonna, he was responsible for atrocities like Swept Away. Now, newly single and still totally hot, Ritchie will be able to restore some of the professional respect he started his career out with.
Breaking news today when Jennifer Aniston (JANIS) finally made a comment on Angelina Jolie's (AJOLI) theft of her former husband Brad Pitt (BPITT). Aniston broke her silence when she said that Jolie talking about falling in love with Pitt was "really uncool." The full interview and her further thoughts on the matter will appear in the next issue of 'Vogue' magazine. While the past is the past and Ms. Aniston has weathered her share of storms, the actress is nonetheless deserving of a bright future.
With the election over, all eyes are on the President-elect to see how he will implement the many changes he promised. Stay-tuned for further analysis and gossip from Hollywood and beyond.
