Maddison Gabriel - !3-Year-Old Picked As Aussie Fashion Week Model

Well, she's tall -- 5 feet, seven inches to be exact -- and blonde, and a model. So she's supposed to be in the running to be picked as the model for Australia's Fashion Week, right?

Well, she's 13. Yep. 13.

And because of this, in my view, she's too young. Look, this digital instant image culture has created a market for an image like that of Maddison Gabriel, but in the process it's robbing young women of their youth. It's time to put on some breaks and install some basic restraint. Pick an 18-year old, who's an adult. Let Madison be a kid -- which is what a 13-year old is -- a little longer.

I mean, come on. She looks like she's 13! What were they thinking? Well, this is going to be an interesting story, no doubt.

Bonnie Piesse Is "Aunt Beru" From Star Wars Episode II and Episode III

Actress Bonnie Piesse appeared at WonderCon in San Francisco and was kind enough to listen to my stupid question regarding her time playing "Aunt Beru" in Star Wars Episode II and Star Wars Episode III. In our conversation Bonnie explains that the baby she held was in fact not real, but was made to feel like a real baby.



She also offered that George Lucas, who directed and produced the movies, was relaxed and easy to work with. Finally, Bonnie talks about her music and her album which is set to debut in late 2007.
