Actresses with Most Beautiful Teeth

People have different definition and description about what beauty is. For me, beauty is beautiful eyes, sharp chin, feminine look, sensual lips, beautiful smile, and... beautiful teeth.

Someone's teeth, for me, is very important to make her look pretty. All Hollywood actresses have perfect teeth, I know. But some of them are very beautiful because of their teeth. Their teeth don't have to be perfect and flawless. In fact, some of them have imperfect teeth that give their face strong character, so strong, that I can tell whose teeth is on the picture, without seeing the rest of the face.

So this is my list of actresses with most beautiful teeth:

1. Angelina Jolie


 

2. Kate Beckinsale




3. Kristin Kreuk




4. Alyssa Milano




5. Emma Stone


6. Jaime King


7. Kirsten Dunst


8. Rachel Weisz


9. Elisha Cuthbert


10. Reese Witherspoon


Say cheese!!

My Top 10 Best Godfather Scenes

Hello, Everyone! So here I am again, writing anything I wanna write about show biz.

Thanks to Simon and Garfunkel's 'Scarborough Fair', lately I spent lots of times googling traditional, ballad, and folk songs from around the world, especially Scandinavian, Southern Europe, and Mediterranean. Oh I really loooovee.... them!! Yep! I love traditional, ballad, and folk songs very, very, very much!

I searched them on YouTube, Google, and 4Shared. So when I searched on YouTube, it leads me to some related links. When I was looking for Sicilian Ballads, there were some links of 'Godfather' the movie. So I watched some.

I love 'Godfather' trilogy. Well, I hate the end of part 3, but it's still one of the best movie ever!
If you really know me, maybe you already understand why I'm really in love with 'Godfather' trilogy. First, I love that it has historical values, the time setting ranges between early of 19th century to somewhere in 1970's or 1980's. Wait, is it? Well, Michael Corleone was in US Military on World War II, which last from 1939 - 1945, and he was 20 something then. So, in the end of part 3, when he was about 50 something, it must be somewhere in 1970's, right?

Anyway, the second reason is, I love the characters! I love everyone, the bad guys and the good guys. Ehm, well, actually most of them are bad guys. Somehow, the Corleone family remind me of mine. My mother is nothing like Mamma Corleone. But my father is cold and wise like Don Vito Corleone. He also love 'Godfather' trilogy btw, and is a fan of Marlon Brando.
The oldest son, Santino Corleone, is a lot like me. I think we both have the arrogance of the first child. We both have hot temper and easy to explode. Yeah, Sonny really reminds me of me. Well, now I'm trying to be a better person, control my emotion, and all. But when I was younger, I'm totally a female version of Sonny.
The second son, Fredo...well, I hate him so much. He's a d***. My sister is very nice and she's not a traitor like Fredo. The only thing they have in common is being second child. Actually my sister more like Constanzia 'Connie' Corleone, the youngest and the only daughter of Don Vito Corleone. My relationship with my sister is like Sonny and Connie. And for me and my brother, my sister is always the one to protect.
The main character, the third son Michael Corleone, is my favorite character. He's wise, smart, cold-headed, cool, always use his logic, always act with his brain. He's a lot like my younger brother. They both brave but smart. They don't get provoked easily. That's because they're cold-headed. They are sensitive and romantic, charming, nice yet unforgiving.

So that's why I love the characters and feel attached with them. I love the story, the flow, the music, the costumes, the settings, everything about this incredible movies!! And of course... I love the scenes!!

So, here is the list of my Top 10 Best Scenes of 'Godfather'.

10. Michael Dancing with Mary ('Godfather' part III)
   I've tried to find the scene on YouTube but I couldn't find it. Anyway, as always, I really love to see the father-daughter relationship. Like any father in the world, Michael is very close with his daughter, Mary. I think this scene is from a philanthropic, found raiser party or something.
   Anyway, you can see the scene if you find 'Michael Corleone's Death' on YouTube. In the end of 'Godfather' part III, the most beautiful memories of Michael were shown, he danced with three important women in his life: his daughter Mary, then his first wife Apollonia, and his wife Kay.
   P. S. Mary Corleone role is played by Sofia Coppola, the daughter of the director.

9. Michael and Apollonia's Love ('Godfather')
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spCmlCEMyZg
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCOaI06zAvg&feature=related
   I really love all the Sicilia scenes from 'Godfather' trilogy. One of my favorite is when the first time Michael saw Apollonia and fell in love with her.

8. Don Vito's Death ('Godfather' part II)
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Fjc-CKwB8
   This is the scene from either 'Godfather' or 'Godfather' part II, actually I forgot. But I love how he died in peace, while playing with his little grandson. I think it was little Anthony, Michael's first child. When I watched it again, the scene when he teased Anthony with lemon skin in his mouth then laughed when Anthony cried really touched me. That's adorable. I remember how lovely my grandfather was. How he loved his grandchildren and always enjoyed spending time with us.

7. Michael Corleone is The New Don Corleone ('Godfather')
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWWGO5Thy_U&feature=related
   This is the scene where Michael just accomplished the mission to pay the revenge to all his enemies, and people started to respect him and kiss his hand. He started to take control of the family.

6. Young Don Vito Went to America ('Godfather' part II)
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CycdXpV2mo&feature=related
   Little Vito Andolini left Sicilia to avoid Don Ciccio. He sailed from Sicilia to New York. It was a long journey. I love the scene of his journey with boat. When he was in quarantine in Ellis Island, he sang a Sicilian traditional song, 'U Sciccareddu'.

5. Sonny's Death ('Godfather')
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrv1roq_gBw&feature=related
   This is one of the most famous scenes of 'Godfather' trilogy. As a fan of Sonny, of course I was really pissed with this scene. But gotta admit, this is really a cool way to kill somebody. Very brutal, classic, and smooth tactic. Oh, Man! It always breaks my heart. I love Sonny.

4. Michael Kisses Fredo ('Godfather' part III)
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcFlp6kl508
   "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart."
   That was when Michael found out that his brother had betrayed him. Michael kissed him because he was so pissed and emotional about that. Of course! Who wouldn't!? But the thing is... I can't imagine how Al Pacino did that scene with...whoever played Fredo.
   Well, if I ever met you, Michael, I would do the same: kiss on the lips passionately and... "I know it was you, Michael (my true love). You broke my heart. You broke my heart." : p

3. Michael Corleone Shots Sollozzo ('Godfather')
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBl_gvTBO9g
   Sorry, couldn't find the shorter video. But anyway, this is the complete scene of the killing strategy. This was Michael Corleone's first mission. Bravo, Michael!

2. Don Vito Corleone Kills Don Ciccio ('Godfather' part II)
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCdXiOssbM0
   Vito Corleone's father was murdered when Vito was just a little kid. The murderer then also killed his mother. That's when Vito ran away from Sicily and went to America. After years of American living, Vito came back to Sicily to meet the murderer of his parents.
   What a sweeeeeet...revenge from Vito Andolini. Suck it, old man!

1. Horse Head ('Godfather')
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZtyvlzVm7Y
   Don't tell me you're a fan of 'Godfather' if you don't know this scene. This is the most famous scene of 'Godfather', and was parodied over and over again in other movies, advertising, and cartoon. So Don Vito Corleone has a Godson who happened to be a super famous Hollywood actor. I forgot the name, I think it was Johnny something. So Johnny had a serious conflict with a director. The director was about making a crucial movie where Johnny really needs the role. But because of the personal conflict between them, the director didn't wanna give the role to Johnny. So Godfather sent his men to have some nice negotiation with the director. But the director was still keeping his decision. So Godfather's men cut the head of the director's favorite horse and put it on the director's bed to terrorize him.

So, that's the list.

Oh, the last thing I wanna say is, I know The Corleone family has soooo many enemies, but of all the antagonists and protagonists, other than Freddo the coward, I also really, really hate Kay, Michael's second wife! (Oh, Ladies, please, I don't hate her for being second wife. It's trashy. Just watch 'Godfather' trilogy and you'll know why I hate her). Kay is such a dumb, insensitive b****. Oh if only Michael and Apollonia's marriage last forever....

My Favorite Characters in My Favorite TV Series

Did I ever tell you how bad I love those American soap operas? Yeah I'm kinda TV Series freak. I am a fan of some 1990's and 2000's series such as 'One Tree Hill', 'Popular', 'Ugly Betty', 'Grey's Anatomy', etc. But my favorite series of all time is 'Desperate Housewives'. I love the characters, the plot, the mood, the dialogues, everything in that serial!

So, in my favorites series, I have some characters those I really like, you can even say I'm a little bit obsessed. Maybe because they are smart, or tricky, or sweet, charming, funny, inspiring, or maybe just physically hot, attractive, or maybe I like their style. Usually when I become a fan of one character, I become a fan of the actor too.

And these are those characters:

'Desperate Housewives'
Gabriel Solis (Eva Longoria Parker)

My favorite character of all time, from my favorite serial of all time. Gabriel 'Gaby' Solis is the youngest and the hottest of all four housewives in 'Desperate Housewives'.

Tom Scavo (Doug Savant)


Anyway, I love both Gaby-Carlos and Lynette-Tom couples. They both sweet in different way.


'Grey's Anatomy'
Isobel 'Izzie' Stevens (Katherine Heigl)


Mark Sloan (Eric Dane)


Alex Karev (Justin Chambers)



'Supernatural'
Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles)


Well, in this serial, we either like Dean or Sam, or both. There are only Dean and Sam. The rest are just the angels and demons. Yeah you may put Castiel on the hot guys list. But still, if you are fans of Supernatural, you must idolize one of the Winchesters.


'Glee'
Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron)


 Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling)


Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer)



'Ugly Betty'
Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams)


Marc (Michael Urie)



'Gossip Girl'
Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester)



'Lipstick Jungle'
Nico Reilly (Kim Raver)



'One Tree Hill'
Peyton Sawyer (Hillarie Burton)



'Charmed'
Phoebe Halliwel (Alyssa Milano)



'Prison Break'
Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller)


Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell)


'Heroes'
Isaac Mendez (Santiago Cabrera)


Peter Petrelli (Milo Ventimiglia)



'Gilmore Girls'
Jess Mariano (Milo Ventimiglia)



'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel'
Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter)

Cordelia is Buffy's rival at school. Before finding herself as a vampire slayer, Buffy was a popular girl and even also a captain in cheerleaders team. When Buffy was already a vampire slayer, she moved to new school or something (I forgot), so that she's no longer popular. Cordelia Chase is the popular girl at school.
Her character is so much like Gaby Solis in 'Desperate Housewives' or Brooke Davis in 'One Tree Hill': a spoiled brat with super rich parents/husband, that can't do anything when all the money gone.

Angel (David Boreanaz)

This is the lots better, sexier, hotter vampire than that creepy Edward Cullen. Angel is a character of a vampire that is trying so hard to remove his dark past. He is a good vampire, and he's ironically boyfriend of Buffy the vampire slayer.

'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' was a movie that was made as TV series, and then there was the split of the series, 'Angel'. Both characters above were in both of those series.


'Dawson's Creek'
This is like the most popular, most booming TV series on 1990's. The story was just about life of some teenagers in a small town. I can say 'One Tree Hill' is a lot like 'Dawson's Creek' (both took places in North Carolina). I watched 'Dawson's Creek' when I was on my first year in Junior High, and I watched 'One Tree Hill' from the end of my High School years until the beginning of my college years. So, 'Dawson's Creek' maybe like 5 or 6 years older than 'One Tree Hill'.

I used to be a fan of 'Dawson's Creek'. But now I totally forget what was so good about it. But when I was a fan of 'Dawson's Creek', these are my favorite characters.

Joey Potter (Katie Holmes)

This sweet, smart, multi-talented valeditorian is favorite of most 'Dawson's Creek' fans. There were 4 main characters in the earlier seasons: Dawson of course, Joey, Jen, and Pacey. Both of the main male characters fell in love with Joey and ruin their friendship for her.

Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson)

I love Joshua Jackson! Even now that I'm writing this post and watching this picture of him... oh, he's so gorgeous... and I'm so proud that he was born on June 11 just like me.
The character of Pacey Witter is a childish, funny, yet charming boy. Choosing between pacey and the other male character, Dawson, most women would go for Pacey. Including me.


'Popular'
This is a 1990's soap opera about two groups of high school teenagers those compete each other. The popular gang were all blond: Brooke McQueen, Nicole Julian, and Mary Cherry. The nerds were all brunette: Sam McPherson, Lily Esposito, Carmen Ferrera. For those born after 1990, 'Popular' was the 1990's version of 'Glee'. It's all about the popular vs the freaks. The main character were Brooke and Sam. So, mostly 'Popular' fans and followers would pick between Brooke and Sam. Well, from these characters below you could tell which side I choose.

Nicole Julian (Tammy Lynn Michaels)

I really love Nicole Julian character. She's smart, cruel, tricky, and super backstabbing. I also always love her style and hairstyle.

Brooke McQueen (Leslie Bibb)

Maybe I love Brooke McQueen character for the same reason why I love 'Glee' Quinn Fabray character.
The nowadays famous Quinn Fabray character from 'Glee' reminds me so much of Brooke McQueen from 'Popular'. They both blond, pretty, and popular. They both have facial expression as sweet as angels, but very cruel inside. Cruel, but not tricky as their sidekicks (Santana in 'Glee' and Nicole Julian in 'Popular'). Even the 'Glee' Cherios trio is a lot like the 'Popular' blond trio. Brooke and Quinn are the insecure yet fragile queen-bee, Nicole and Santana are the tricky backstabbing b***hes, and Mary Cherry and Brittany are the typical dumb blondes.


'Smalville'
Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk)

I'm not really a big fan of 'Smallville'. I don't really watch it after missing 2 or 3 episodes in its season 1. But I really like Lana Lang's character just because I think Kristin Kreuk is extremely pretty. I sometimes watched the series just to see Kristin Kreuk. The character of Lana Lang is nice, sweet, and super feminine. But I don't really think it's special. So, for this one, it's totally just the face.


Okay, that's all.

No, I don't have favorite characters in 'Friends' or any other comedy series. I'm not a fan of any comedy. And no, I'm not a fan of 'Sex and the City'. I even wonder what is so good about that serial? The women are old and ugly, the theme sucks, and... well I really don't have any idea of why people love it.
