I can't bear to watch Dumbo, I can't sit through Like Water For Elephants, but to tell you the truth: This one story just flattens me. Please join us to help keep baby elephants in the wild.  Removing them as infants and selling them to other countries to be raised in cement zoo is cruel and inhumane. Please join forces to stop stealing baby elephants from their mothers to sell to other countries like China and Thailand.  Besides the money raised in places like Zimbabwe is going to fund terrorist groups like the Boko Haram. NO MORE POACHING ELEPHANTS! African elephant poaching has reached crisis level with about 100 African elephants poached every day for their ivory. In the midst of this crisis, Zimbabwe is exporting dozens of baby elephants to China for $60,000 each, while claiming overpopulation as the motivation for export. Three out of four elephant calves exported from Zimbabwe to China in 2012 have since died, and the same fate most likely awaits this new

David LaChapelle + Russia's Ballet Bad Boy, Sergei Polunin + Hozier = A dance performance you can't afford to miss. Watch:

The emotive dancer, donning only nude tights and a cluster of tattoos, sautés, tombés and pirouettesthrough an illuminated empty space. The white room clashes with the dark energy of the bluesy song, making Polunin's stunning dance moves resemble some kind of spiritual possession. courtesy Huff Po's,Priscilla Frank ------------ Exclusive: Leaked footage .

Step away from The Blanche, please.

I'm a fan of Gillian Anderson, however watching this short film The Departure, staring and directed by Gillian Anderson, written by Andrew O'Hagan just makes me want to scream. Oh. I get it. I get that there are some roles we actresses covet and love so very much that we'll always be possessive about them. Blanche is my "Git your hand's offa my Blanche, woman!" role. I own it -- Blanche has been a role I've wanted to play almost as long as I can remember wanting to act.  Most of my early goals have fallen to the wayside eons ago when life's more immediate needs took centerstage for me.  But, Streetcar.  And Blanche?   She's the one part -- I've never given up on.  Her essence and spirit.  I have never given up on wanting to illuminate her with my own dna.
