How and why being an albino became an international indicator for predilection to commit evil, I don’t know, but after watching The Boy from Geita, what I do know is that many people with albinism in Africa are living in their own horror movies, ones in which they’re the victims.
A young Tanzanian boy named Adam knows something about being treated like a monster. Despite the fact that albinism has an occurrence rate of something like 1 in 2,000 in Tanzania, anyone afflicted with it is considered a pariah in their community. Superstition abounds as people look at Adam, his brother, and thousands like them as “ghosts” or otherwise “cursed.” But there’s something more insidious about the treatment of albinos in Africa, a dark turn that takes Adam on a journey to Canada and back when...

Taking some time away from the set of her upcoming film "Divergent," Shailene Woodley scores a feature in the August 2013 issue of Marie Claire magazine.
While rocking designer duds from Rodarte and Vans for the adorable Peter Ash Lee-shot spread, the 21-year-old actress opened up about avoiding Hollywood labels and reveals her alternate career plans.
Check out a few highlights from Miss Woodley's interview below. For more, be sure to visit Marie Claire!
On not referring to herself as a "celebrity":
"I don't use [celebrity] to describe myself. In high school, a lot of my friends didn't know I was an actor because I didn't talk about it. They would come to school and be like, 'Wait, were you on My name is Earl last night?' It was something that I kept under wraps because I did it for myself and not for anybody else."

THR Nobody can quite let go of Sex and the City Movie 3. It still might happen.
Corduroy (via Jj) talks to Josh Hartnett about his career (post acting hiatus). I thought I'd share this since we were just talking in that Taylor Lautner post -- I realize they're not exactly interchangeable ;) -- about the limited shelf life of young male actors who get hired for a lot of big roles and big projects before they've truly proven themselves. Isn't that essentially what happened to Hartnett?
