About Me

Like entertainment? Bars? Long rants and obscure words? Then you might like me! I'm Danielle Belton, an entertainment reporter here in lovely Kern County, USA working for The Bakersfield Californian newspaper. I write about everything from music to theater and do it with a perky, caffiene induced smile on my face. I'm single and I own a cat named Shaggy. My hometown is St. Louis and my favorite food is pizza. I mean, really. I'll eat ANY pizza. Even the little dollar frozen ones that taste like cardboard.

Renee is rather nauseating, and certainly is in the running for weirdest celebrity squint.
That's the story of many a failed "creative": you never learned how to squint properly.
Now iM working on my squint technique ala the master: CLint "the Squint" Eastwood.

I look at Renee today and sometimes forget that I used to think she was cute and even liked her in that she was an inoffensive, Texas version of Drew Barrymore, but with talent. She was really good in "A Price Above Rubies."
But I don't know when I started to notice it. Maybe just before the film version of "Chicago" came out. She got all horrifying for no real reason and then, that year, when she showed up to the Oscars she was all squinty. Tragic really. The squinty-ness ...

put in her cut-offs and a tube top and you might mistake her for trailer trash...imagine her in Lot Lizards of the 99! (sort of low budget film i've been working on for years)...she doesn't seem too bright either...another one of these celebrity-morons so popular now--the public doesn't want intelligent or interesting people--it wants Renees or Tom Cruises or Jessica Simpsons--sort of dysfunctional human cartoons. The smart types of thespians, say Anthony Hopkins, are relegated to villain roles (o he can speak in complete sentences--he's a f-n mastermind!).. In fact Hannibal Lector's one of the few interesting characters of the last two decades or so..........
