EAT PRAY LOVE
The film version of Eat Pray Love is about to be released in Spanish cinemas on September 24th. The movie is based upon the international bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert, who wrote her experiences on her journey around the world in search of herself after a difficult divorce. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat), and another four months in India, finding her spirituality (Pray). Elizabeth ended the year in Bali looking for "balance" of the two and found love (Love).
The 2010 Donostia Award winning American actress Julia Roberts plays Elizabeth on the screen.

Facebook nightmare
A 14-year-old girl from Hertfordshire who included her address on a Facebook invitation to her party was alarmed when 21,000 said they would be coming.
The party was cancelled when the school pupil was swamped by RSVPs from unwanted would-be guests on the social networking site.
The girl, from Harpenden, had reportedly only intended to invite 15 friends to her 15th birthday party.
Police said officers would patrol the area on the day of the planned party.
Although the original invitation was removed from the site, a new version was visible to all Facebook users on Monday.
The event was not created by the girl herself but her address was again posted on the site for all to see and 19 people had confirmed their attendance.
The incident follows criticism of Facebook's privacy settings, with concerns being raised that they are too complicated.
A spokeswoman stressed that the privacy settings available for events created on the site are separate to those for users' profiles, on which they post information about themselves.
