You see, I told everyone this was an intelligent, educational thread....but would they listen? Now some people might say that other bodily shaped foods are based on anatomical parts but they would be lying. (I better be careful here what I say, I leave well known fruits and shaped foods up to the imagination of the viewers). The Tortellini story is true. I have proof. And lets face it, who can't fail to be inspired by belly buttons. Especially Shania's and Girls Alouds'. :p

Now some people might say that other bodily shaped foods are based on anatomical parts but they would be lying. (I better be careful here what I say, I leave well known fruits and shaped foods up to the imagination of the viewers). The Tortellini story is true. I have proof. And lets face it, who can't fail to be inspired by belly buttons. Especially Shania's and Girls Alouds'. :p.....you might want to share the proof so we can put it on Shania's BB thread for all of eternity and posterity...:kiss:

Feel free to use the proof as amunition anytime you have to justify any posting of a belly button:

http://www.hancockhouse.com/products/crocou_1_sample.htm

Tortellini is a specialty of an area in Northern Italy called Romagna which encompasses Bologna. Like ravioli, tortellini is a meat and cheese stuffed envelope of pasta, but it's small and ring shaped, and looks like a belly button. A 17th century Bolognese story maintains that tortellini was born when a chef molded his pasta in the navel of a beautiful woman.

Navel Gazing

by Deirdre Day-MacLeod
Posted: May 5, 2004

In early 1999 an album called ...Baby One More Time rocketed to number one, powered in part by a music video of 16-year-old Britney Spears performing in the stereotypical costume of a schoolgirl. She was perfectly outfitted in the iconography of the coquette: pleated skirt, kneesocks, pigtails: but the key signifier that positioned her on that cusp between innocence and knowledge was a feature that, although common to all humanity, usually is given little serious consideration: her exposed navel. There have been bare midriffs before, but there was something different about this particular expression that lofted the lithe teen to a unique position in the pantheon of teen pop stars.

Just as the ad for the Academy Award-winning film American Beauty: the tale of a middle-aged father suddenly obsessed with pubescent sexuality: lingers on the navel, Spears and her handlers knowingly put hers out front, playing the former Mouseketeer against the budding sex kitten, conjuring up a Lolita you can take home to Mom. As Camille Paglia told People magazine in February, "She is a glorified 1950s high school cheerleader with an undertone of perverse 1990s sexuality. Britney is simultaneously wholesome and ripely sensual." And key to that appeal is her belly button.

This is a lot to claim for just one navel, but her fans also testify to the centrality of her belly button in stimulating their enthusiasm. As one male fan posted to the music site dailyradar.com, "It's all about that belly button." And one rumor (undoubtedly apocryphal) has it that the museum in her hometown of Kentwood, La., as part of their display devoted to Spears, plans to sell a line of adhesive replicas of her belly button. It should not be surprising, however, that this humble, all-too-human feature should suddenly be the object of such scrutiny. A closer look reveals a deep history of the navel as sign and symbol in culture; as one area of disputed terrain on the human body.

Halfway between head and genitalia, not strictly sexual, but, like Spears herself, "not that innocent" either, the belly button is a liminal marker. Not one thing or another, it has no purpose but to indicate humanity, and where humanity treads, sexuality is never far behind. As an indicator of birth, the navel is a reminder of our supposed infantile innocence; its presence makes it clear that we are not gods. A severed link to the mother and a sign of mortality, the navel is the first mark that life leaves upon your body, a scar as unique as your fingerprint.

All mammals have navels, what some call the "former mouth." Animal mothers bite through their babies' umbilici; unlike humans, they have no access to the clamp and scissors. Human umbilical cords are clamped at birth, though current debates in natural child-birthing circles suggest that this unkindest cut occurs too abruptly and with a violence that makes no sense when you consider that for nine months this pulsing cord has been a lifeline. Within a week the stump withers and falls away, leaving behind the navel. Whether you end up with an "innie" or "outie" depends more on the nature of the muscles in your stomach than on your obstetrician's knotting prowess.

There are a host of names for belly buttons, from "one-eyed Mabel" to "lint catcher." Legend has it the Italian pasta tortellini was created after a voyeuristic chef caught a glimpse of the love goddess Venus's navel, and the "belly button" is a piece of lab equipment that gyrates and mixes chemicals. Beyond such whimsical connotations, the navel has had a mythical significance in cultures throughout the world. For the ancient Greeks passion centered on the navel, or omphalos; Omphale was the mythical queen who so powerfully personified femininity that she enslaved even the mighty Hercules. In Hawaiian culture the navel is the primal node of heart, mind, and feelings. In India Brahma is said to have sprung out of the lotus that sprouts in the belly button of the somnolent Vishnu, and Judaism associates fecundity with the navel.

Given its central spot in human physiology, it makes sense that the navel would also leave its mark on geography. In search of the "Navel of the World," poet Charles Olson located the earthly omphalos in Cape Ann, Mass., but other claims to centrality have come from Delphi, Greece; India; Easter Island; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; Bali; Sri Lanka; Washington, D.C.; and Jerusalem.

Scaling our attention from the global back down to the personal, the navel is also a figurative and spiritual focus for inward-looking people. Since it serves no biological purpose after birth, the navel only acts as a gatherer of lint and a magnet for musings. So one who finds his or her spirituality in the center of his own body is dubbed an "omphalogian," and as a focal point of yoga poses, the navel marks the place where breath emerges, as well as the balancing point. Sigmund Freud believed that an unraveling of a dream's meaning could be located at its navel: the place where the content of the dream connects with its psychic significance. And even Saint Thomas Aquinas recognized this doubled character of the belly button, seeing it as the "bodily metaphor for spiritual things." Navel gazing, then, could be considered the most profound of human activities.

Not all theologians were as open to the navel's enlightening potential. Through the centuries there has been much debate over whether Adam and Eve, alleged by some to be the world's first couple, possessed belly buttons. As a result of such overwrought navel warfare, both Raphael and Michelangelo provoked accusations of heresy by depicting Adam's nodosity in their paintings. In the mid-19th century British zoologist Philip Henry Gosse labored over Omphalos: An Attempt to Untie the Geological Knot (1857). Within his hefty tome Gosse took the controversial stance that Adam did indeed possess a belly button, noting that though "at first sight ridiculous...truth is truth." Defending God against the accusation that only a trickster god would adorn the first man with a navel that had no purpose, Gosse suggested that the almighty did not intend to deceive Adam into believing that he had a past as an infant but only felt it would be awkward for him not to have one. Similarly, Gosse believed that the freshly created trees in Eden would have possessed rings marking years that they had never grown. Gosse's book failed to persuade everyone with his theory of God's navel plan, and instead, artists depicting the post-creation moment in Eden enlarged the genital-covering fig leaf to include the belly rather than take the theologically risky stance of depicting an umbilical link between first man and woman and their deity. And as recently as 1944 Congress debated whether a military booklet depicting the initial twosome with bared navels was a danger to the minds of the common soldier.

Navel concerns didn't end with World War II. Over 40 and feeling fine, Barbie, the doll, only recently was allowed a belly button (but not a piercing, yet). And 35 years ago another earthly, Edenic navel, belonging to another Barbara, was kept hidden away. On I Dream of Jeannie, NBC's censors refused to let the blond genie's belly button show, insisting that actress Barbara Eden cover her navel with the raised waist of her harem pants.

Such banning seems to arise from the odd eroticism evoked by that hollow space. A study of navels out of the University of Missouri categorized hundreds of them by shape and attractiveness and, as did a recent Allure magazine article, determined unequivocally that the "innie" is aesthetically superior. The navel has excited artists from James Joyce to Dimitri Hadzi, whose sculpture "Omphalos" resides in the center of Harvard Square, and Horace Walpole felt compelled to discuss navels in his Anecdotes of Painting (1792). Artists are not alone in thinking navels are worth contemplation. Americans tend to think of navels as a girlish thing, but during Japan's wild 1980s, many businessmen fell under the influence of spiritualist-cum-fraud Hogen Funkunga, who proclaimed that the "navel is the core of everything about the person." Following this philosophy, many Japanese businessmen paid to have their belly buttons surgically reshaped into more pleasing, less assertive, innie configurations.

The signatory knot that ties up nothing and goes nowhere holds more erotic charms for some than the conventional attractions. Neither procreative nor nutritive, perhaps it is the navel's lack of obvious purpose, combined with its audacious, almost arrogant, spot right there in the middle of things, that sucks its admirers in. Belly button aficionados the world over categorize, analyze, and collect images of their sacred objects and the true belly believer could recognize Cindy, Cameron, or Kate as easily by their navels as by their faces. Spears's forebear and role model, Madonna, insists that hers is the "most perfect" and that while poking her finger in it she feels "a nerve in the center" of her body "shoot up" her spine.

In fact, for some the navel may be a little all-too-human, representing a resting point not only on the journey to the netherworld below the belt but also to the sort of hellish depravity that can land one in eternal damnation. When Nicholas Cage slurps tequila from Elizabeth Shue's brimming belly cup, you know that Leaving Las Vegas will end badly for the transgressor. Imitating Shue and Cage's navel maneuvers could land you with a prison record: as a bartender in Milwaukee, Wis., recently discovered when she let customers sample her wares from her omphalian shot glass. Though not technically sexual, the erotic terrain of the navel shifts after puberty, and what is a cute little button on a child becomes, on a teenager, a heated boundary between baby and babe.

Of course, while the adults worry over the lines of midriff demarcation, navel piercing is on the rise, and the malls are rife with bejeweled navels. In her 1991 book Let There Be Clothes, fashion historian Lynn Schnurenberger notes that bare bellies say "look, but don't touch." Spears wasn't even born in 1965 when Annette Funicello had to wear a high-waisted bikini in How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. Apparently at the time Walt Disney insisted that his former Mouseketeer keep her stomach covered. Is it a sign of progress or decay that today another former Mouseketeer's navel is launching countless poster sales and igniting a whole new round of meditation on the belly button?

Endnote: This article first ran on Britannica.com's site when the venerable company was making an attempt to (in the words of one journalist) "make itself more attractive to the young and trendy generation." When the article appeared more than 17 million people attempted to log on to the site over the last month locking up the site's web servers and causing trouble that lasted an entire month. I assume the traffic was prompted more by the accompanying shot of Britney than by my semiotic analysis. Eventually the uproar itself became news and I was quoted all over the world. In Portugal I was an expert on the "umbiago."In short order, Britannica halted its pop cult foray and everyone on staff that I had dealt with disappeared and the article itself became a dead link (no doubt because they were afraid to touch Britney's belly button even virtually).

These forums have lost all sense of respect. I remember a time when threads were treated in a honourable way by the female members, and female belly button worshipping was allowed whilst the female members would talk about things like chocolate, cooking and ironing. I miss those times.:rolleyes: Pail, we need to have a chat.

No plastic or silicone in sight, they are all natural. These are the perfect examples of how Hollywood women model themselves on, the surgeons learn by looking. ;)

On a serious note, I don't think people are being fair to them, they all have terrific voices, especially Nadine. The whole girl group thing puts people off without anyone even giving them a chance. I'll bet you all anything Mutt and Shania were very impressed when they heard these girls. And its tough to make it - they were up against hundreds of thousands of others, no audition is ever as hard as that.

Kelly Clarkson gets respect, probably because she's solo and not in a girl group. If you ever get the chance, listen to Nadine belt a song out, very much like Shania singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow at Deerhurst. I'm guessing the group will split in a few years and she'll be the one who keeps going.

I guess they should be dealt with if they are allowing illegal broadcasting and copyrighting to happen, but that is not for us to think about, I guess we have to take care of our own message board and play it safe.

During the past year, while releasing a trio of top three singles, they have also been working on the follow-up to their debut album ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The result is brimming with the same brand of amused knowingness and louche sexiness as its predecessor and features the biggest party single of last year, ‘Jump’, plus ‘The Show’, ‘Love Machine’ and their forthcoming Christmas ballad, ‘I’ll Stand By You’. Includes 2 UK bonus tracks 'I Say A Prayer For You' & '100 Different Ways'. Polydor. 2004.

Well the best way is to see them perform, the albums can seem very polished and a lot of their songs are very uptempo. To appreciate their talent, you need to hear and see them sing live, or singing Acappela to see that they have stunning voices.

When people knock Shania, people here don't like that. Shania is enormously talented, very humble and modest. She lives for her music, and cares for her fans.

Nadine Coyle all her life has only ever wanted to perform because of her love for music. She recently insisted that her group perform in her home city of Derry, arguing with everyone because of how strongly she felt about wanting to give something to her home fans. She got her way. She isn't in it for the money, the fame or the attention, she just loves music. Who does that remind you of?

I think the group wil last a few more years and then split - they'll probably burn out, they have released 3 albums in 3 years and constantly toured. But don't be surprised to see a certain Nadine Coyle continue as a solo artist beyond that...the next Shania? And maybe one or two of the others.

OK I'm afraid I can't post any links here, as it would be re-broadcasting form music channels. I think we need some kind of black and white rule laying down, as sites such as YouTube give the impression it is allowed. I would imagine any YouTube linking is not allowed if this is the case.

I'll let you know.

Sorry it appears you are going to have to discover the treasures that are Girls Aloud performances another way. :(

I agree the mods need to decide if we can link to youtube or if we can't.

Tweedy takes top spot in WAGS XI (Teamtalk)

Ashley Cole's wife Cheryl Tweedy has topped a poll of best-looking footballers' WAGS, with Posh Spice struggling to make the bench

Football fans were asked to choose a Real Footballers' Wives XI and vote for the most gorgeous partner.

SEGA commissioned the poll to coincide with the release of Lets Make A Soccer Team. And leading the Premiership charge with 16% of the vote was Girls Aloud beauty Tweedy, who was also named favourite World Cup WAG by TEAMtalk's hard-working editorial team.

Coming in second place with plenty of va-va-voom and 14% was Thierry Henry's wife Nicole Merry. Cry baby Cristiano Ronaldo's sexy girlfriend Merche Romero made it into third place with a sizable 12% of the vote.

Brazilian legend Ronaldo sees his other half, Susana Werner, make it to fourth place with an 11% show of hands - and Steven Gerard's stunner Alex Curran came in at fifth place with 10% of football fans voting for her.

Unfortunately for Victoria Beckham, she has to settle for 90 minutes on the subs' bench as she struggled into the squad at number 12 with a mere 2% of the people's vote.

WAGS First XI:

1 Cheryl Tweedy (Ashley Cole, Chelsea) 16%.

2 Nicole Merry (Thierry Henry, Arsenal) 14%.

3 Merche Romero (Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United) 12%.

4 Susana Werner (Ronaldo, Real Madrid) 11%.

5 Alex Curran (Steven Gerrard, Liverpool) 10%.

6 Toni Poole (John Terry, Chelsea) 9%.

7 Carly Zucker (Joe Cole, Chelsea) 9%.

8 Abigail Clancy (Peter Crouch, Liverpool) 6%.

9 Melanie Slade (Theo Walcott, Arsenal) 5%.

10 Colleen Mcloughlin (Wayne Rooney, Manchester United) 3%.

11 Elen Rives (Frank Lampard, Chelsea) 3%.

12 Victoria Beckham (David Beckham, Real Madrid) 2%.

I don't see what's unclear about this: YouTube offers a video clip distribution service.

A small percentage of the material is suitable for younger viewers.

Some are submitted without permission from the copyright holders.

And the rest is of highly questionable nature.

History shows that the mighty Girls Aloud predicted there would be problems resulting from their success in the lyrics to their song Love Machine.

We're living in two tribes
And heading for war.

And so after an emergency meeting between world leaders, forums leaders and peacemakers, (and pacemaker-makers), the 2006 treaty has been drawn up to save the world as we know it.

This will now become the Official Girls Aloud thread, nobody may post negatively in it and other artists threads (although second in line) must be respected. In turn I will not start new Girls Aloud threads unless they work directly with Shania and Mutt, as the Corrs did. Which isn't all that bad because they aren't bad looking, as Terry Wogan says, for a bag of spanners. :funny:

If anyone is actually interested, or maybe would like to hear their chart hits, they have a greatest hits album out soon:

New Releases On The Way!

A brand new single, album and DVD are coming your way very soon!

The first single off the Girls' next album, 'Something Kinda Oooh', hits the stores on 23rd October. Radio 1 gave the single its first ever airing on Tuesday and it went down an absolute storm.

Then on 30th October, the album The Sound Of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits will be released, crammed full of all of the Girls' brilliant singles as well as some extra tracks. There'll also be a special limited edition version featuring a bonus disc with unreleased rarities, demos and other goodies!

And on the same day you'll also be able to get you hands on the fab live DVD, shot at Wembley Arena during the Chemistry tour.



I just heard the new single, its very upbeat and a bit clubby. It should do well, its a bit like "Knock on Wood" but crazier, it should do well, over here anyway.

I just realised that Girls Aloud are very educational, they have an album called Chemistry, a single called Biology and another called A Whole Lotta History!

If school were only that good!

Maybe I should have paid more attention to her then....care to name the other 999,999?

Anyway it looks like people are invading the Girls Aloud thread, doesn't that break the treaty? I can think of a whole lot of threads which could be brightened up with some of my nice pics in! ;)

I could start doing that too then....seeing as though that's ok. ;)

I'm very interested to hear more about the Britney comment. Anyway who ever would complain about beautiful women in school uniforms!!! :p

*raises hand* me! I have a problem with "beautiful women" in school uniforms.

Well ok you keep your men in school uniforms in your thread and we carry on as normal here. :p

In fact lets add some maids uniforms...:p

Who is that second from the right? She's having a bad hair day.

;) happy now?

That's uncalled for.....if I did that in girls thread there would be uproar! So she took one bad picture......:rolleyes:

Anyway lets concentrate on the positives from that pic - Sarah, Nadine, Cheryl and maids uniforms. :p

If I were to pick (not in a lesbian but a "who's pretty" or "who would I like to look like" way) the nicest looking I'd say Nicola.

Paul
09-24-2006, 3:31pm
I don't think its nice to call someone "massively ugly". I think that kind of violates the agreement we had, if people are gonna post here it can't be like that.

Anyway if you need convincing here's Sarah. She's gorgeous...

okay, I'm sorry. I'll change the post. :( *hugs to paul and his fandom of GA*

but Nicola is the best looking imo. still. Sarah just looks generic blonde to me. Like a Paris Hilton/Pamela Anderson type.

Here. As an "I'm Sorry" gift I'll make you an icon or wallpaper of GA if you want. Just give me a pic.

OK I forgive you. But Sarah is all natural, a lovely northern girl. :D In fact they are all from the north, just a coiincidence.

Sarah- Manchester
Nadine - Derry, N. Ireland
Nicola - Runcorn (Liverpool)
Kimberley - Bradford
Cheryl - Newcastle

I'm sure everyone feels better knowing this completely useless information. :funny:

You're probably right there, she's the best behaved although I saw her drunk the other day and it was scarey...although the press don't like her, they make out she's not anywhere as attractive as the others. She's got a very sweet voice too, I like her.

Cheryl is definately the least innocent. She speaks her mind way too much, she's going to actually have a fight with Charlotte Church when they next see each other. Should be interesting. :D

I read about Cheryl attacking this lady and getting community service and never apoligizing or something. And apparently she showed "no remorse". Tsk, tsk.

Cheryl vs. Charlotte Church - celebrity deathmatch!! :D

She was drunk...no excuse though. The Cheryl v Charlotte war has been going on for ages, its amazing:

The war between soft-spoken Welsh soprano Charlotte Church & ladylike singer Cheryl Tweedy of Girls Aloud (who was convicted of assaulting a toilet attendant in 2003) began last summer, when Tweedy accused Church of ripping off her group:

"Cheryl reckons Charlotte's album is a carbon copy of a lot of Girls Aloud material. She says Charlotte has no originality & reckons she is trying to copy the image that made them a chart success."

Charlotte hit back: "Girls Aloud wouldn't be able to sing Crazy Chick if they possibly tried. They just don't have the range, darling. And when they've sold as many records as me, then they can comment ... Maybe Cheryl is bitter."

Later: "Unlike Cheryl & the girls, I have co-written seven of my album tracks. I fail to find how that means I have copied their sound. I always admired & respected the girls but now, if they want to attack, I won't hit back. I mean, I haven't resorted to wearing short skirts & dating a footballer to get into the charts, now, have I?" (referring to Cheryl's bf Ashley Cole; in fact, Charlotte's bf Gavin Henson is also a football player)

As a diversion, Charlotte took time out to attack Russian pop tarts t.a.t.u.: "They just sound ****. And one of them's a minger as well, their single's awful."

In response, t.a.t.u.'s Katina threatened to kill Charlotte: "I will murder her. She should come to Moscow & I will shoot her in the head. No one has heard of her in my country - yet where she lives, everyone knows who we are. She must be very careful with her big mouth because bad things can happen to people."

Feeling left out, Cheryl jumped back in: "Charlotte's a nasty little piece of work with a fat head. Her publicity stunts slagging everyone off haven't worked. I don't know who her & her scabby boyfriend think they are. He's a posing idiot who looks like a girl. And she's not even gorgeous."

Charlotte responded by referring to Girls Aloud's latest single Biology: "I heard a rough demo & I did not think it was hit potential for me, it's ideal for the girls though."

Cheryl: "Poppycock. She has never heard it, she is just worried that we will land yet another number one when she has not had one yet." Later, Cheryl said she agreed with t.a.t.u. that Charlotte should be bumped off.

Perhaps feeling she'd gone too far, Cheryl then took the high road: "We actually really like Charlotte Church. She was saying some really nasty things & I'm not the kind of person who sits there & lets people slate us. So I said something back - which I probably shouldn't - about her boyfriend."
This truce lasted until Church's Walker's Crisps commercial, of which Cheryl said: "The one where she's stuffing her face? I think that's very appropriate!"

And most recently, Cheryl on running into Charlotte: "She didn’t say anything to me. I think she was frightened. She shouldn’t be so mouthy then, should she? If she’s going to be mouthy, back your mouth up & we’ll have a conversation face to face."

Your serve, Charlotte...

I wont name the website I found that on but it pretty much sums it all up. It's hilarious...

The signs were always there...:p

There was a film he was in, Love Actually. Can't remember who had a number one hit from that soundtrack.....;) :p He even appears in their video, where the girls break into 10 Downing Street and start erm listening through the wall and drinking his drinks (he's the Prime Minister in the movie). Then they show him doing this hillarious sideways dance down one of the corridors. :funny:

Yeah he's pretty funny. Can't believe he cheated on Liz Hurley like that, what was he thinking?! :huh:
