News broke last week that 19-year-old Miley Cyrus is now engaged to her 22-year-old fiance Liam Hemsworth (brother of Thor actor Chris Hemsworth). The first thought that crossed my mind was IS SHE OUT OF HER MIND? That was immediately followed by WHERE THE HELL IS HER MOTHER? If I told my mother that at 19, I planned on being married, she would have taken off her hard-bottomed slipper and whacked me with it (Greek mothers are notoriously tough). Miley's parents are "over the moon!" But why?
Last week, I got the chance to sit down on the phone and chat with Challen Cates, star of Nickelodeon’s Big Time Rush (parents of teens and pre-teens will know her as Mrs. Knight on the show) . Cates is lovely to chat with and we talked about everything from the show, BTR to motherhood and the pressure to stay gorgeous in Hollywood.
Sigh. Another day, another insane tabloid report. This one claims that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore may have reconciled. This past weekend, they both attended their Kabbalah Rabbi's 40th birthday party, where guests said they had a very long (60 seconds!) embrace when they saw each other. It was also reported that Demi sat and stared at Ashton like "...a lovesick puppy."
I don't know about you guys, but I'm super excited about Disney/Pixar's latest—Brave.
Set in the Scottish Highlands and centered around Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald)—the headstrong daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson)—this is a story about a girl coming to terms with tradition and challenging her fate, while using her skills to save the day (She's an archer! Pretty darn cool, if you ask me).
I’m pretty sure that celebrities are handed almost everything they could want on a silver platter – including stylists who know what they are doing and what clothes look right on what people. If they don’t, well, they’re not very good stylists, are they?
Case in point? Kristen Stewart. Sometimes, Kristen is an absolute hit. But it’s so rare that I’m always shocked and surprised – as seen here in this Preen FW 2012 dress this past week during her UK press junket for Snow White and the Huntsman.
I was in a “meeting” (surprise congrats to a GF at work who’s getting married next week) on Monday, when I returned from my desk with an e-mail from Erica Ehm herself. This has happened one or two times in the past, but it doesn’t get any less exciting. This time, Erica was informing me that I had been selected to be the new pop culture blogger at YummyMummyClub.ca. I did a happy dance at my desk (full disclosure, I moonlight as an online project manager at a big, awesome charity). My mind swirled. Will the YMC mums like me?
