Three 2 See: Fallen Princesses, William Shatner, and a 12-year-old Bullfighter

Disney movies preached love to us when we watched them in our younger days. They taught young women that if we look really, really pretty and our hair stays immaculate, our prince will come save us. We'll live happily ever after, and love would conquer all. Chick-Lit and Chick-Flicks take the spot of those Disney Princess movies as we age.
For myself, I was always a little bit skeptical about the whole thing. My mother got me two books, which were a compilation of hundreds of fairy tales - many my friends have never heard of like Billy Beg and His Bull or The Colony of Cats. Not all of these stories had happy endings. And not all included Princesses.
Dina Goldstein is a woman after my own heart. Based in Vancouver, she admits to not hearing a lot of the Disney versions of fairy tales while she was a kid. Now, she has little ones of her own, and has been learning about the Disney versions. She then began to imagine those Princesses juxtaposed with real issues. And thus, Fallen Princesses was born.
She was runner up in the 2009 American Photo Images of the Year, which is easy to see as the pictures are amazing. She takes some of our favourites: The Princess and the Pea, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella... and shows what problems they might face if they were around today. Not all these ladies are still in for their happy endings.
From Princesses, to Bullfighting. A 12-year-old Bullfighter from Mexico was gored TWICE in Columbia last week. If you haven't heart the story, you should see this video:
And finally, Mr. William Shatner. I didn't see this coming... but perhaps I should have. He's teamed up with World Wrestling Entertainment (the WWE) to perform some of our 'favourite' Superstar Entrance Theme Songs.
Oh William Shatner... is there anything you wouldn't do?

I swear, you can hear someone laughing in the background of the Shatner video. I know I'd be.
