Salma Hayek Marries on Valentines Day!

February 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Salma Hayek and her miracle boobs have taken a break from schooling Angelina Jolie on saving children to get married. Us Magazine spreads the happy news.

Hayek married a French tycoon, Francois-Henri Pinault, in a ceremony this past Saturday. I am not really sure what kind of “tycoon” he is. He is probably responsible for integrating crepes onto the IHOP menu. Which, if that was true, I’d probably marry him too. Nah, he is actually is CEO of the luxury king PPR. Pinault is also the father of Salma’s first child, Valentina Paloma Pinault. He is rumored to be worth billions.

They were engaged this past summer, but called off the nuptials in July. The couple reheated their relationship this fall. At the Dubai Film Festival in December they were seen together and onlookers said the couple were very affectionate and obviously in love.

Aww…love and junk. How nice. Congrats to the new family.

‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ – Review

February 15, 2009 By 1 Comment

“Confessions of a Shopaholic” gives you exactly what you expect from the trailer, which isn’t that bad, considering the trailer was pretty fun. The basic premise is about a lovely woman, Rebecca Bloomwood, who spends beyond her means and dreams about writing for fashion magazine. Things start to change when she lands a job working for a financial magazine published by the same company. As she tries to make her dreams come true, she struggles to keep her past and debt hidden.

Isla Fisher was excellent casting for the role, as making Rabecca relatable and likeable are key elements to this movie. If you do not like her, then you will not like the movie, as a lot of the stuff the character does it frustrating to watch. Although comical in nature, I was hoping Rebecca would learn her lesson sooner, leaving more time for romance and watching her go for her dreams.

The best parts of the movie are the supporting cast. The casting for Rebecca’s parents was inspired–Joan Cusack and John Goodman are hilarious and steal the show every time on-screen. Hugh Dancy is good in his role as the smouldering boss who always works and might have compromised his dreams for the position he has now. And Kristen Scott Thomas (really? Wow!) was fun to watch as the scary editor of Alette Magazine, but she reminded me a bit too much of “Ugly Betty”.

Overall, is it worth watching in the theatre? If you liked “The Devil Wears Prada“, then I would say yes. If you want a little bit more substance to your films…well, why are you reading this anyways? Grab some girlfriends and enjoy!

Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight Drama, James Pickens Jr. Back Tracks

February 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I am getting beyond tired of these two. They should kill the bitches off on the show and be done with it. We all know something is up. You can’t really hide the fact that they are going to go at some point. According to my sources these two ARE leaving. It’s just a matter of time. Right now the status is in limbo. The stars’ agents and network attorneys are currently still battling it out. The point is that negotiations are still happening.

Katherine Heigl has been trying to find a way out for 2 years now. Notice how T.R. Knight’s character is noticeably absent or has a total of 3 lines in every episode? Right now the fate of their characters is up in the air. Rumors that George was going to take a sudden interest in the military have been brewing but according to leaks, that story line has been scrapped.

James Pickens Jr. was the original cast member confirming that they were leaving. Have let the cat out of the bag and got in trouble, he is now back tracking on his previous statement.

Via People:

“We’ve been living with these rumors for a long time,” he said before the NAACP’s awards show. “When the question was posed to me, I was more trying to congratulate Katie and T.R. on whatever they were going to do. But yeah, I don’t have any special info about it either way.”

How is “yes they are leaving” a congratulatory statement? Just flush them down the toilet like dead goldfish and get it over with.

Nick Jonas Breaks Up with Selena Gomez

February 13, 2009 By 1 Comment

Ok…so I am going to be honest with you all. (Enjoy it because it’s probably due to all the drugs I am hopped up on thanks to this black plague that has hit Hollywood Dame. ) I don’t get the appeal of the Jonas Brothers. Yes, I said it. So all the Jo Bro-Ho’s out there will have to forgive me.

The youngest of the tween tribe, Nick Jonas, has reportedly broken up with his rumored lady love Selena Gomez. Nick was said to be dating the “Wizards of Waverly Place” starlet while brothers Joe Jonas is fighting Robert Pattinson for Camilla Belle and Kevin Jonas is getting a ring for his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa. No word on why the two called it quits but he simply stated to “The Insider” that he was single.

While on “The Late Show with David Letterman” the heartbreakers talked about ex girlfriends Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. They stated things were good with the girls and they were happy to sing them sing together at the Grammy Awards.

Via MTV Per “The Late Show”:

“We went on tour with Miley [Cyrus],” Nick said about his relationship with the Disney star. He jokingly added, “Again, going back to the ups and downs, I think that I was 14, so it’s, you know, I was pretty young, so I think you can just consider it a young little relationship.”

Joe Jonas sidestepped a T.Squints question by stating:

“No, um, yeah, you know, we didn’t work out.”

Hmmm…Happy Valentines Day! Lets hope she has gobs of Wizard cash to dry her tears with.

X-Men Weekend!

February 13, 2009 By 1 Comment

Instead of sending me roses, Fox is sending me beautiful Hugh Jackman and other sexy mutants. All I can say is thank you. Starting Sunday night!! three 60-second spots will air on Fox. According to Coming Soon.net,

Together, with one spot leading into the next, the spots will form a narrative revealing the origins of Wolverine, and the epic revolution that pits him and other legends of the X-Men universe against powerful forces determined to eliminate them.

To me, this just tells me I am going to see a half-naked Hugh Jackman for three nights in a row. And possibly Ryan Reynolds. Thank you, yes please! I am already a fan of the “X-Men” franchise (even the last one wasn’t so bad), so this is like handing candy to a baby.

To go with these spots, is a new promotional poster, seen here. Liev Schreiber is featured in it as “Victor Creed”, aka “Gambit”.

I would get prepared for more promotional posters, trailers and the like, as “X-Men: Origins” is coming out May 1st, 2009 and now is the time to promote the movie! I am ready, are you??

Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Entertainment Weekly – Photos

February 13, 2009 By 4 Comments

Calling all Twi-hards! I am sure all you “Twilight” fans are well aware that Little, Brown and Co. are releasing Catherine Hardwick’s “Twilight: A Director’s Notebook” on March 17, just four short days away from the release of the film on DVD.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, the good people at Entertainment Weekly have been nice enough to put our favorite movie vampire (and my personal love slave) Robert Pattinson on next week’s cover. Wait! Before your panties catch fire, I must warn you that Kristen Stewart is also on the cover…and the picture is old…and Sparklepants is fully dressed. Buyers beware.

However, the publisher of the “Director’s Notebook” was nice enough to release two pages from the book to here via Entertainment Weekly.

I must admit, it looks pretty cool. I am a sucker for anything “Twilight” related, not to mention anything Robert Pattinson related. This inevitably means I will be hitting up my local bookstore instead of my local bar on St. Patrick’s Day this year. Is this what it’s come to? Some people need 12 steps to cure their drinking problem; I apparently need only the promise of unseen pictures of Robert Pattinson. The man is a saint.

Vanity Fair Calls Angelina Jolie ‘Shrill and Controlling’

February 12, 2009 By 1 Comment

Thanks to the eagles eyes over at Celebitchy, my day is a bit brighter. Someone finally called Angelina Jolie out.

Instead of fearing one of the most powerful couples in Hollywood, Peter Bart tells it like it is. Bart is the co-host of AMC’s “Shootout” and editor-in-chief of Variety. He did a guest piece in the March issue of Vanity Fair and confirmed what we all assumed of Jolie. In his rant about the film industry he deemed Angelina Jolie “shrill and controlling; Pitt seems clueless.”

Per Vanity Fair Via Celebitchy:

“Stars must mobilize more than simple disdain in dealing with the press. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don’t even have press agents anymore. Sit with them in a social situation and they’re quietly reflective. But in her interviews, Jolie comes across as shrill and controlling; Pitt seems clueless. Actors need to select a public role model. Clint Eastwood is a good one: the cinematic statesman, a study in restrained dignity. Clooney is another: the smiling showman, always ready with a quip.”

Sounds about right. He left out the bit about her self perception of sainthood and her astonishing level of snobbery, but I am sure he assumed that was understood.

Nicollette Sheridan Leaving “Desperate Housewives”

February 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Its the end for Edie Britt. Reliable sources on the set of Wisteria Lane say that a script has just been circulated for rehearsal that includes the demise of Nicollette Sheridans’ character from “Desperate Housewives.” Is she leaving the show by her own will, or did all those special requests finally cost Nicollette her job? ABC has confirmed to E! News that Sheridan will indeed be leaving the show.

Per E! Online:

“Nicollette had a great time on the show and is looking forward to her next project.” says her rep. “Her final episode doesn’t air until April.”

Not until April? Aw crap – I hoped we’d be rid of her sooner! Fans might remember that the blond bombshell, Edie, has been nearly axed from the show not once but twice before. Two seasons ago, Edie tried to hang herself when Carlos left her for Gabrielle, and at the end of last season she left town after her plan to blackmail Bree backfired and she was blackballed by the women on Wisteria Lane. But Edie came back both times. This time will be different. So just what are they planning for her exit? Edie finds out her husband has plans to kill her, and almost does. She runs out of the house but ends up getting in an accident, something involving her car and an electrical wire. No word yet on who will sleep with every husband on Wisteria Lane now.

Hmmm…. sounds interesting, if done right. But is that really enough for the housewife who doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut – on or off camera. How much do you think this will affect the show’s popularity? Nicollette Sheridan has never been my favorite on any level. Maybe David Spade can offer you a boney shoulder to cry on. I sure won’ t miss her.

Completely Lost: Re-Cap

February 12, 2009 By 5 Comments

First off, I want to start with some thank-you’s. Thanks to all of you who read this and especially those of you who leave comments and tell me that you enjoy the write-ups. I enjoying writing this and I love hearing your theories about what is going on with Lost. Keep it up!

Another big thank you this week to Damon Lindleoff and Carlton Cuse, the writers of Lost, for bringing my man Jin back in full force! I honestly thought Daniel Dae Kim may have suffered the same fate as the other cast members who like to mix cocktails and a drive around the Hawaiian coast, but it appears all is forgiven on that front.

Now for the boos and hisses: What’s up with answering questions you just posed in this episode. What is this, Heroes? Stop answering the obvious (one of which I will get to later) and start telling me some things I have been wanting to know since ’04!!! What do the numbers mean? Why is Jack’s dad all over the island when he is supposed to be dead? Who was the real Henry Gale?

Let’s get to the recap now, shall we?

LA Vida

We start off this week again, right where we left off the week before. Our dear “present day” friends are chillin’ on the docks in LA. Sun pulls a gun on Ben who tells her Jin isn’t dead. Even though we know he’s right this time, she stupidly believes him. Why do they believe Ben? Kate gets Aaron and splits (thanks, I am really tired of you as of lately). Sayid threatens to shank anyone from the group that bothers him again, a promise I hope he keeps; he chucks up the deuce and is off like a dirty shirt (thanks for that one, Duckie).

Ben gets Jack and Sun, and what we still assume to be Locke’s corpse, into the van and rolls out.

While in the Mystery Machine, Jack tells Sun he’ll shoot Ben himself if Ben is lying to them. Ben goes Kanye West on them and launches into a tirade about how he has gone to great lengths to keep them all safe. Give it up for Michael Emerson who is a phenomenal actor. Even I believed him at this point. Should we believe him though?
