Invictus Trailer

Here's a trailer for Clint Eastwood's Oscar-bait entry for the year, Invictus. It sounds like it should involve Centurions and people buggering each other in bathhouses but it's actually about Nelson Mandela and some rugby player. Anyone else miss the good old days when Clint directed himself in corny movies about orangutans and country singers?

Amy Winehouse Shows for Mandela's Birthday

Amy Winehouse was in good enough shape to roll into Nelson Mandela's birthday celebration and do her thing. Let's hope she kept it at least semi-classy. None of that bit where she seems to pull something from her beehive and snort it.

I'm sort of disappointed, actually, that Mandela barred Naomi Campbell from appearing on-stage at the event. That would've been an amazing confluence of crazy...her and Wino. Who knows? Maybe they would've hit it off. Or, maybe they would've wound up in a shrieking cartoon whirlwind of claws, fake hair and drug paraphernalia.

Nelson Mandela Wants No Part of Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell and Nelson Mandela have been tight in the past. But Nelson was so upset by Campbell's recent arrest for air rage that he decided to have her banned from appearing on-stage at his up-coming 90th birthday celebration.

"The man himself intervened and she was pulled off the list," explained a source. "He was disappointed with her recent arrest - particularly as she was wearing a 46664 baseball cap at the time."

46664 was Mandela's number when he was imprisoned in South Africa, and is now the name of his AIDS awareness organization. Campbell has done numerous appearances on behalf of the charity in the past...all without incident as far as we know.

Given all the shit Mandela has endured in his life, you have to believe he doesn't get pissed off easily. But if there's anyone who could do it, it would be Naomi Campbell. Gandhi himself would've probably wanted to kick this bitch's ass.
