25/08-Joaquin will be getting his Humanitarian Award from PETA 8 september, just a reminder, also his tux will go into the Silent Auction that day.

AJoaquin will maybe be in the movie Brokeback Mountain from Gus Van Sant, this is only a rumour. I will keep you informed!

C Article - August 14, newspaper The Denver Post  

Tuesday, August 14, 2001 - Word around the campfire is that Denver and Colorado will be locations for the movie "Brokeback Mountain," about two lovesick cowpokes, to be filmed early next year.

Call me crazy, but this project sounds pretty high risk, even if it is rife with Denver connections, which we always like to see.

"Brokeback Mountain" was a celebrated 1998 short story by former Denver resident Annie Proulx, who used to keep a loft in LoDo. It's in her Pulitzer-finalist collection, "Close Range," which was was illustrated by LoDo artist William Matthews.

The story concerns two Wyoming cowboy/shepherds who find themselves branded by love. In the haunting ending, one is murdered for being gay. Uncannily, the story came out a year before Matthew Shepard was killed in Wyoming, part of the reason it caused such a buzz. The other reason was, it garnered O. Henry and National Magazine awards.

Gus Van Sant was said to be on tap to direct "Brokeback," which would make sense, since he was the force behind such edgy flicks as "Drugstore Cowboy" and "My Own Private Idaho."

But I hear the helm's now switched to Joel Schumacher ("Batman and Robin").

Huh?

And Larry McMurtry is writing the screenplay.

Double huh?

There's a precedent for such a project being filmed here in Colorado. Denver was the locale for HBO's movie about the Shepard murder, "The Laramie Project," earlier this year.

Still, you have to wonder what Hollywood leading man will want to tackle the daring role of a gay cowboy. (Read the story - you'll understand what I mean.)

I hear Joaquin Phoenix has signed on.

C This is what I found over that movie - 

Story - Two male cowboys fall in love, but their lives prevent them from being together.

Cast - Not yet announced

Again a rumour - Brokeback Mountain: The New Weekly reports that after the huge success of "Good Will Hunting", it is not surprising that rumours are flying of director Gus Van Sant and stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up again for "Brokeback Mountain" - one of the next films on Van Sant's schedule after he finishes remaking "Psycho". The bound to cause a stir film follows "two coyboys who spend their days fighting Indians, and their nights fighting their passion for each other" (which one's the butch half?). But if Van Sant wants them for the film, can he get them? Bothstars schedules are pretty much booked solid for some time, but one day soon the duo could be locking lips on screen. Wonder if Winona or Gwyneth will cameo? This is from NewsAskew 22 july 1998, so pretty old already

A Liberty (Phoenix) Asch in an article about Belly Dancing 

More than just movements

Liberty Asch of Gainesville, a mother of two, gave up dancing a few years ago after having her second child.

But last week for the first time in two years, Asch, 24, traded her jeans for a hip sash and danced again.

"It made me feel empowered and really beautiful," she said with a shy grin. "It shows your body in a way that's not overly sexual but that celebrates your body."
