2008-06-02 12:10:00 The soprano Kelly Kaduce is interviewed in the Saint Louis Muse and remembers an anecdote from the 2006 Michael Berkeley's Jane Eyre performances in the Saint Louis Opera with the opera director Colin Graham, who recently passed away: In Jane Eyre rehearsals at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis [in 2006], he gave us a booklet of quotes from the actual novel that he was using for inspiration. (F. Paul Driscoll)Den of Geek! compares Ang Lee's The Hulk (2003) with Jane Eyre:What’s more, Ang Lee’s Hulk is not a superhero movie, it’s a family drama… It’s fecking Jane Eyre – but the madwoman in the attic of this emotionally stunted Mr. Rochester is a Gamma irradiated mutant. I love that movie, I love this movie… Orson Wells would’ve loved Hulk. (John Moore)The Nigerian newspaper The Tide News quotes Charlotte Brontë in an article about promoting reading in children: This is why that Children’s Day Rainbow Book Club and Rivers State Government packaged book reading project ...

Bertha is not Anorexic
2008-02-09 03:31:00 Bertha is not anorexic even though at 5'6" she weighs 90 pounds and will only eat two saltine crackers per day because she believes her body is hideously fat.Bertha is Kornfeld's assistant. And although Kornfeld always pretends to be healthy, he is always afflicted with some illness. Bertha always perpetuates his delusion by telling Kornfeld how healthy and fit he looks even though he looks like death. In turn, Kornfeld always tells Bertha how healthy she looks even though she looks like a Sally Struthers photo op from Ethiopia. They work very well together. My assistant Teri is friends with Bertha. Teri is about ten pounds overweight and is currently taking a suppliment to neutralize carbs and shed the excess. Bertha is jealous of Teri because she believes Teri is much skinnier than she is even though Teri is about 40 pounds heavier than Bertha. Teri is not jealous of Bertha because Bertha is about to die.Blair is jealous of Bertha, but not because she is...

Bertha in a Starbucks
2008-01-25 12:41:00 The Scarborough Evening News also echoes the recent news about the Brontë movie: HOPES that Scarborough will be used in a new film about the Bronte sisters are under threat.Parts of the film Bronte were due to be filmed in Scarborough, Haworth, Cannon Hall near Barnsley, and Brodsworth Hall near Doncaster. However, other locations including Wales and Canada are now being considered after an investor withdrew more than £350,000. (...)It would provide a major economic boost for the town, which has been used in films such as Little Voice and A Chorus of Disapproval as well as TV shows including The Royal and Heartbeat. Cllr David Jeffels, Scarborough Council’s cabinet member for tourism, said: “It’s very disappointing news because not only would it have been a good thing to help promote the Scarborough area as a visitor destination but it would have been much cheaper from the production point of view of the film itself.“We have seen in recent years so many TV and film product...

Här berättas om kärleken mellan den fattiga guvernanten Jane Eyre och godsherren Edmund Rochester. Men var dessa två de enda älskande på godset Thornfield Hall? Vi vill berätta en annan historia om kärlek, den om Edmund och hans första fru, Bertha Mason, som i romanen förklarats sinnessjuk och sitter inlåst på vinden. Det här är den andra historien – det finns alltid en annan historia, den som vi sällan får höra. Den första historien kan vi för bra, vi putsar på den och vårdar den som en del i vår bild av vär...

Justice in verbal spat; hit over head with beer bottle
2007-10-26 17:05:00 From Botswana’s ‘The Voice’ online: * Botswood, which is still in its infancy phase unlike Hollywood, is quite fascinating and at times leaves one thunderstruck.

Eviction 9: The Last Untouchable Falls
2007-10-14 20:57:00 Thank goodness and good riddance Kwaku. Your exit was long overdue. I still say Meryl should’ve been in the house instead of you or any of your other original ‘untouchable’ buddies. At least he didn’t irritate me as much as Bertha did during her interview or embarrass himself any more than he did in ...
Eviction 8: Bertha slithers out of BBA house
2007-10-08 16:45:00 Another one bites the dust! What a night, what an outcome! I mean who thought that Bertha was as equally hated across Africa as Maxwell was - 12 out of 13 votes! Damn! I’m not surprised though, the girl changed like a chameleon overnight from Jesus Girl to Satan’s Ho in the house. A strategy ...
Code is HoH for the 1st time
2007-10-05 17:40:00 Code became the new Head of House after almost guessing the correct time in the task. He was only 5 minutes off. A pretty random task on Biggie’s part, which I like, seeing that it doesn’t disadvantage those housemates who are less intelligent than others or those who are physically challenged. With either Bertha or Kwaku ...
Big Brothel : Season One
2007-10-04 18:10:00 So we’re past the halfway mark in this season of Big Brother Africa, and I must say it has been one of the most interesting installments produced by M-Net/Endemol yet. At the beginning, I believed that the housemates this year wouldn’t compare to those of BBA1, but as the weeks went on - I was ...
Nominations 7: Bertha vs. Kwaku
2007-10-01 23:24:00 Oh yes, the ‘Untouchables’ get touched yet again! We all saw it coming, no one can honestly say that they didn’t believe that either of these two would be nominated. Despite Big Brother being a tad predictable these days, I must say that I’m enjoying how each of these cockroaches are being exterminated one by ...

Richard is new Head of House
2007-09-28 17:47:00 This afternoon Big Brother instructed Housemates to shoot basketballs into a hoop to determine who the new Head of House will be. Each Housemate was given five minutes to throw the balls through the hoop. The Housemate who puts the most balls through the hoop, within the time limit, will win the esteemed position. Things started off ...
Penthouse Prisoners
2007-09-25 19:03:00 So Ofunneka and Kwaku have been in the penthouse for two days now, not counting Sunday evening, and it’s turned out better than expected, thus far, for me anyway. As they have mentioned on numerous occasions in their diary sessions, Ofunneka and Kwaku have nothing against each other and they’re from the same part of Africa ...
Nominations 6: Lerato vs. Bertha
2007-09-24 21:40:00 What a sh-HO-down! THE best head-to-head we’ve had since Jeff vs. Justice. Surely, BFF’s Lerato and Bertha saw it coming with their four measly votes against eight. They luckily managed to escape last week due to the twist, but the public knew that sooner rather than later these two conniving sisters a.k.a ugly stepsisters (Ofunneka is ...
Bertha meets Heathcliff
2007-09-24 12:40:00 Eloise Millar writes a very interesting post about Jean Rhys in the Book Blog of The Guardian:Rhys is a bit of a strange creature. Her last novel, Wide Sargasso Sea, is her best-known. A prequel to Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea recounts the story of the marriage and honeymoon of Rochester and his first wife, Bertha. Told in odd, dreamlike prose, the narrative drifts through shabby mansions and overgrown gardens, where ferns grow as big as trees and over-scented flowers bloom (like truth) just out of reach, and where, inevitably, a few weeks of bliss tumble into tragedy and madness. Published in 1966 (after a 27-year silence), Rhys saw Wide Sargasso Sea as her rescue job on the madwoman in the attic and a deconstruction of the race and gender relations in Jane Eyre that nobody else seemed to question. By 1966 she was also something of a madwoman in the attic herself, and it could be said that Wide Sargasso Sea rescued not one but two people. Living a long way from her Dominican birt...

(Fake) Eviction 5 & 6: Double blow for the ?Untouchables? and the ?Big 5?
2007-09-24 01:45:00 Muhahaha *in evil voice*. Must say I enjoyed the ‘Fake Eviction’ show thoroughly! Tatiana’s HoH ’speech’ on why she replaced herself with Lerato was memorable (somewhat long), but honest. Many people had been wondering who Big Brother would choose to send to the Penthouse for four days which would come with immunity for the week as ...

Maureen is new HoH? finally!
2007-09-21 13:42:00 Following an apple bobbing task to determine who the new HoH will be, Maureen emerged victorious, clenching the title for the first time. Seems this time around Big Brother wanted to give the housemates something a little physically demanding - well for Bertha and Lerato anyway. The challenge required housmates to have their hands tied ...

And Maxwell, who arrived ...
(Fake) Nominations 5: Offuneka vs. Kwaku vs. Lerato
2007-09-17 23:25:00 Er… dunno what to make of the twist just yet. All I can say now is that I never saw it coming. I was aware of a twist coming to effect last night but I thought that a new housemate would be entering the house, seeing that that has been the rumour going around. Big Brother’s ...
Eviction 4: Walk on by, Maxwell?
2007-09-16 21:11:00 Thank you Africa - all 12 of you beautiful countries including the rest of Africa! I knew you could make up for the boo boo you made when evicting Meryl last week. Seeing Maxwell walk had to be my greatest Big Bother Africa moment to date. All I can say now is LET THE GAMES ...
Big Brother Africa rigged!
2007-09-16 10:43:00 Have you tried to evict Maxwell from the house via the official website? Has it told you that “Your vote was not counted. Your vote has already been counted for this period.”? Well, that’s what seems to be happening to a lot of people including myself. It could easily be a error on ...
Why it?s gonna be close this Sunday?
2007-09-14 18:34:00 Here’s what I believe will happen to the votes. COUNTRIES AGAINST MAXWELL: Angola - His boo, Lerato, nominated Tatiana. Kenya - Jeff always nominated “the Untouchables” and they’re just finishing what he couldn’t. Malawi - His backstabbing and confrontation with Code. Nigeria - A non ‘untouchable’ country. Even though he saved Offu, he still bad-mouthed her in the jacuzzi. Tanzania ...
Lerathoe is Hefer of House again!
2007-09-14 17:21:00 This whole Head of House thing should just be dropped! It’s novelty has worn off (as well as the Penthouse treat) and it’s just a boring vicious cycle every week. Lerathoe won for the second time in a row during the archery task, beating Ofunneka and Kwaku to the top. Luckily Biggie had a twist in ...
The claws come out!
2007-09-12 22:24:00 Oh, ‘the Untouchables‘ are so full of themselves… Just last night in the jacuzzi after ‘guzzling’ a couple of drinks, Kwaku, Lerato, Maxwell and Bertha went on a housemate bashing spree. Not one of ‘the Others’ were left unscathed. They mentioned something about how Tatiana can’t even speak English and how they have to translate everything for ...
Big Brother High
2007-09-12 21:47:00 Recently, the BBA house has had a similar environment to that of a high school. It has its bullies, its jocks and cheerleaders (popular kids), geeks and nerds (unpopular kids). The popular kids being Lerato, Kwaku, Maxwell and more recently, after slithering her way in and proving that she too can snag a man, ...
