I don't know what to say about this trailer other than the fact that I'm INCREDIBLY excited for this movie. And this two-minute trailer is really getting me excited!
Between this trailer, and Adele's AMAZING song (also called Skyfall) November can't come soon enough!
I haven't been able to sit through an episode of Lena Dunham's smash HBO hit Girls. I find the writing childish and the characters and situations unbelievable. Some people love her, and some loathe her. I was in the "who cares?" column until today.
What is going on this year? I feel like there have been A LOT of celebrity divorces (TomKat, Heidi and Seal, Russell Brand and Katy Perry, etc., etc.), and now we can add two more to the pile. Earlier this week, we found out that after thirty (YES, THIRTY!) years of marriage, Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman are divorcing. It was beyond shocking. They seemed like they'd really beaten the odds.
I haven't been to the movies in over a month (audible gasps).
I know. I know. We usually try and go twice a month, but with Matt's new job and us trying to sort out schedules, it's been a bit of a nightmare for couple time. So, I'm coming to you for help. Since I haven't been able to go to the movies in over a month, I'd love your movie reviews.
Olivia Wilde, an actress and model (and fox) was married very young (at 19!) to an Italian prince and mega millionaire. They divorced in 2011. She began quietly dating Jason Sudeikis (who has dated Jennifer Aniston and January Jones in the past) earlier this year, and the other night, at an event hosted by Glamour Magazine, Wilde said the following about the end of her marriage to her Italian husband:
Ruby Skye PI is an online-only show for tweens and teens where the titular character has to solve a mystery that spreads out over the course of the entire season with the help of her younger sister and some surprising clues/characters. I had a chance to chat with the show's writer-producer, Jill Golick about the show's second season, what makes Ruby so special and their special connection to the I'm Just a Girl campaign for season two.
Two little tidbits came across my desk this week and they're both weird to me for different reasons.
The first one, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Kimye. Something about this coupling is amazing. I love these two basket cases together. Especially after Kanye's Amber Rose years ("Imma let you finish..."), I think Kim is the perfect partner for Yeezy.
This week, Kanye deleted ALL his tweets (his tweets are epic) and left us with this:
Fat is a word that's been thrown around a lot in the last few weeks—especially in relation to two of today's hottest singers.
First, Lady Gaga's weight was called into question as she's put on a bit of weight. At first, she admitted she'd gained some weight and said, "who cares?" (I'm paraphrasing) However, she didn't want to leave it at that and last week, she poured her heart out to us, explaining that she has been bulimic and anorexic since she was 15 years old. Not that she WAS, that she IS.
This has been a huge year for 19 year old singer Kira Isabella. Her new album is coming out very soon, she's won a number of awards, and she's about to go on tour with one of her idols. I had a chance to speak to her earlier this week and was blown away by her poise, her demeanor and her kindness. This girl's star is on the rise, and even if you aren't a big fan of "country," her music is genre-crossing and you'll hear her on commercial radio very soon.
Maybe it's an American thing? I have never been met with very much resistance to breastfeeding in public—and I still do, when necessary, breastfeed my 19-month-old son in public. Without a cover!
But recently, singer P!nk was breast feeding (with a cover) in a restaurant her infant daughter when a man walked by and made a disgusted, twisting face while moaning, "uggh." (according to the singer)
I'm sure a whole whack of you with tweens saw this summer's awesome 3D/stop motion kids feature ParaNorman. The story is about a little 11-year-old boy who can speak to the dead and an adventure he goes on with his sister, best friend and hunky Mitch in order to save his town from ghosts and ghoulies who want to eat every one of the town's inhabitants.
Friends. I have the plague. First the boy had it, now I do. But I still managed to catch a good chunk of the Emmys (after my stylist coloured my hair purple). When I finally tuned in, it seemed BORING.
Ah the Emmys. Television's finest. I wrote all about some of the standout nominees earlier in the summer, but the big night is upon us this Sunday, September 23!
This year's awards are being hosted by Mr. Jimmy Kimmel, so there's probably going to be some questionable antics but I'm most excited for the unpredictable stuff—what everyone is wearing and who says what when they win (if they win!).
So, by now, I'm sure you've all heard about the photos snapped of a topless Catherine Middleton while at a private (and secluded) home on vacation in France. They were published by some French publications as well as an Irish one. The Royal family was enraged.
Contests abound at YMC! Have you heard of Hotel Albergo? If you're into Cirque, comedy, audience participation, food and want to win a night out for your family, here's your chance. I've got four tickets to the one-night-only production of Hotel Albergo on Sunday, September 23 at the Capitol Event Theatre in Toronto.
Peaches Geldof, daughter of Sir Bob Geldof (he of Live Aid/Band Aid and "Do They Know it's Christmas" fame), recently had a son (named Astala....yep.). The other day, she took her baby out for a stroll in London.
So, just going for a stroll with the baby. Chatting on my iPhone.
First thing's first—did you know that TIFF officially changed it's name to TIFF FESTIVAL? Seriously, Toronto International Film Festival Festival. What in the world are they thinking? (PS, I'm not calling it TIFF Festival. It doesn't make sense)
I love sitting back in a comfy movie-theater seat and watching the trailers for soon-to-be-released movies.
Watching them gets me thinking about all the movies I have yet to see (and all the popcorn I’m going to eat) and all the new ones I know I'll see. So, while summer is sadly winding down, it doesn’t mean the blockbusters are going to stop altogether. To get you guys excited about the cooling weather, here are some upcoming movies I’m dying to see:
Ah, autumn. Back to school. The turning of leaves. And all the new episodes of television you can handle! There's a lot of shifting, new shows and returning favourites every year, but I've got my eye on a few that I think you should check out (if you weren't already planning on it).
I'm just as guilty of it as the rest of the blogosphere—questioning celebrity relationships. Who was spotted leaving someone's apartment in the morning, accusations, infidelity...the works. This week has been no different for a string of relationship woes, but it's got me thinking: why are we so interested in this stuff? It's got to be more than Schadenfreud*.
