The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which decides the awards, said Clooney was chosen in large part for his humanitarian work, in particular for speaking out against the genocide in Darfur. The prize honors a celebrity who had a substantial impact on the entertainment industry and will be presented to Clooney at this year’s Globes ceremony on January 11. Clooney, 53 and soon to marry British-Lebanese Amal Alamuddin, has won three Golden Globes, for “The Descendants,” and “Syriana,” and “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” He was nominated for four other films and for his role in the popular television drama “ER.” The actor, producer, writer, and director co-founded “Not On Our Watch,” an organization that works
to fight genocides around the world. In 2010, he also co-produced a telethon, “Hope for Haiti,” which raised $66 million for earthquake relief. Previous recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille award include Jodie Foster, Steven Spielberg, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Douglas and Martin Scorsese.
Bradley Cooper drops in at Tom Ford show Associated Press
LONDON - Tom Ford has taken his runway to the disco — and with the dark room and all those sparkly sequins, guests almost missed one VIP sitting in their midst. Actor Bradley Cooper took his seat on the front row at the U.S. designer’s London Fashion Week show Monday, chatting amiably with Vogue editor Anna Wintour. The Hollywood star disappeared

backstage immediately after the show, and many guests did not even register his presence. Even if Cooper drew attention to himself, he would have had a hard time competing with the shiny clothes on show. For his latest collection, Ford went full on rock’ n’ roll glam with lashings of sequins, jewels and leather in black, silver, burnished gold and metallic green prints with an oil slick or camouflage effect. Models looked like members of a rock band with their thick tousled manes
and thick eyeliner, and wore skin-tight sequined tops and bell-bottom pants with an exaggerated flare. One dramatic outfit featured what looked like a tight catsuit covered all over with black sequins, worn with a matching cape. The looks were finished with very high platform shoes in animal print. The display was rounded off by a series of risque sheer evening gowns with harness details — complete with jeweled flowers just barely covering the chest.

Tourists visit Kuta Beach on Tuesday, September 16, 2014. The strengthening of dollar exchange rate brings in good and bad effect. As the good side, tourism industry and export businesspeople will get more rupiahs from their business transaction in dollar.
Tourism benefited by rupiah depreciation
Bali Post
DENPASAR - The Indonesian Economists Association (ISEI) of Bali Chapter stated that the depreciation of rupiah getting near the level of IDR 11,900 per US dollar was assessed to be beneficial for Bali relying on the tourism sector. Thus, the results of business activity in dollars will be getting more rupiahs. “The strengthening of dollar exchange rate brings in good and bad effect. As the good side, tourism industry and export businesspeople will get more rupiahs from their business transaction in dollar,” said Secretary of the ISEI Bali, Prof. Dr. IB Raka Suardana. On the contrary, he said, it would
have negative impact on importers because more rupiahs should be provided to purchase goods and services. “If the products purchased are in the form of raw materials for product, then it will result in an increase in final goods sold by domestic manufacturers. This impact is suffered by our society consum-
ing the products,” he said. According to him, the strong or weak condition of rupiah highly depended on many factors such as social, political, economic and domestic economic condition in Europe and America. “The rupiah depreciation was suspected to happen due to economic improvement in the United States and some European countries. Besides, it was also kindled by a high enough demand for the dollar due to foreign debt maturity,” he predicted. Similarly, he also predicted in terms of social aspect, where the condition had the potential to re-
duce the rate of economic growth. As consequence, the employment absorption would decrease and the unemployment could not surely be reduced. “Fluctuations of the rupiah exchange rate are commonplace. Differently, if we have greater foreign exchange reserves, the fluctuations will not be much going on,” he concluded. On the other hand, the attention of the stock market on Monday (Sep 15) was focused on the rupiah depreciation in large amount or freefall. Weakening of exchange rate got near the level of IDR 11,900 per US dollar. As a result,
the vivacity of speculation in the stock was affected. “Generally, the exchange rate of rupiah lies in the level of around IDR 11,700 per US dollar. Rupiah at that level is good enough for the stock market, including at the level of around IDR 11,800 that is still acceptable although somewhat suppressed the vivacity of the market. But this time, the exchange rate of rupiah has moved to the level of around IDR 11,900 per US dollar so that it made the market less vivacious,” said Chairman of Panin Securities, Pande Suarsana.
