Blonde. Hat. V-Neck. Pants.

It's Perez's photo, so don't get to excited. I don't usually draw hearts all over the pictures I post. But I needed to use this picture.

Kellan Lutz is good looking. I would never deny that. Personally I don't really like blondes. It's not like I can't find that blonde haired guy attractive, it's just not exactly what I look for in a guy. My taste is more dark haired and light eyes. This picture however makes me want to like blondes.

He has the perfect build. He is big but not too big and holy cow is he wearing those pants well. The ability to wear clothes well is appealing to me. And very few men know how to wear pants. Too loose means you don't care and too tight means you care too much. These just hang.

Very few men can wear v-necks well, obviously Kellan is one of them, and with that hat, watch out.

Hey Rommie!

It's no secret that Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler were roommates when they first moved to hollywood. In fact, a lot of their new movie Funny People which opened today was based on a lot of their experiences, including Judd singing Adam to sleep.

I came across a list of people who were once roommates and are now completely well known. It was quite interesting.

Jude Law and Ewan McGregor, I guess only people who are amazingly good looking and have the sexiest accents can live together. Ewan McGregor is without question
one of the most attractive people ever. I never get enough of him, probably because he doesn't overwhelm with movies, he
does good work when he wants to. They haven't worked together yet, probably because the screen would explode but still, the two of them, living together. Yum.

Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams. Hot damn. I can't even imagine what t
hat atmosphere was like. They were roommates at Julliard and Robin stood by Reeve's side afetr his accident, covering some of the medical bills and saying he would look after Reeve's son af
ter his mothers death. That's a good man, if I've ever seen one.

Here is the link to the full article. Other roommates include Jonah Hill and Justin Long, and Dustin Hoffman is mentioned twice.

I Can't Take Much More

Anderson Cooper...quiver. The single most wonderful man in the world. Intelligent, sexy, and funny. Need I say more. I need to stop loving him so much or I will go crazy.

In case you haven't seen it, here is the video of Anderson Cooper co-hosting Regis and Kelly with of course Kelly Ripa in which he asks the tough questions of bachelorette Jill Harris and her new man.

There are so many things that I love about this clip and you have to watch the whole thing, because the ending is the bets part.

Second, I love Jillian and Kelly's dresses. They are very cute, Kelly's especially. It's more my style.

Third, it's true. He did ask the question we all want to know. And I will say that even though she seems sincere, I don't believe all she did was kiss a few of those boys.

And lastly, Anderson. Everyone loves Anderson.

I Knew It Was a Good Choice

Back in the day, people scoffed at me for wanting Seth Rogen. What about now? He's getting even more work and he's looking great.

I love Seth Rogen and I love how awkward he is and his weird laugh, most of all I love how he hates Katherine Heigl. For two days in a row he has been bashing her, and she deserves it.

Just like my blogging companions, I dislike Katherine Heigl. Scratch that I hate her. Some of you might have heard that Katherine was bashing the movie that made her famous, written and directed by the brilliant Judd Apatow, who is so sexy, and of course co-starred Seth Rogen, Knocked Up. This was a HUGE mistake on her part, and thank god someone is finally calling her out publicly.

Katherine said that Knocked Up was degrading to women. Seth and Judd threw it right back at her concerning her new movie The Ugly Truth.

Seth: "That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way."

Judd:"I hear there's a scene where she's wearing... underwear...with a vibrator in it, so I'd have to see if that's uplifting for women."

Nice boys. Nice!

If I Have To


Shia Labeouf has publicly said that he judges all women against his mother, who he thinks is the perfect woman. I can honestly say, I did not picture this.

This is Shia and mom out to dinner in LA. She is not what I would have expected. But I love it. To be honest it is a breathe of fresh air. In a world of Miley Cyrus a mother who seems down to earth is a life-send. I feel like he is so appealing because he was raised by this woman. I love that he loves his mom. It makes him so much more sexy. I love a man who loves his mom.

It is true, you can tell a lot about a man from the way he treats his mother. And Shia treates her to lunch...

He has a bit of her style. He can pull of the retro. She seems out there, and you know how I feel about braids. But if I have to get braids to win the affection of Shia, I will do it.

Wasted and Dancing

During a candid dinner conversation one night, my eldest sister was speaking about what she wanted her wedding to be like one day. Her one insistence about her wedding reception is that she wanted everyone to be "wasted and dancing."

This video has become my new favorite thing ever. I expect all of my best friends to be there for me when I ask them to dance down the aisle for me. To a ridiculous song none the less. Something poignant though.

I am sure Court and Theo will oblige, I am only really worried about Sarah being to scared. She will get over it for me though hopefully.

The first 50 seconds of this video are all it takes to put a smile on my face. Can I please be friends with those guys?

Mad as a Hatter

Johnny Depp joined Tim Burton yesterday at the Comic-Con press conference about Alice in Wonderland surprising screaming girls everywhere. Click here to witness. If I wasn't already excited enough to see this movie, they have released a trailer.

The movie isn't even finished yet and people are so excited about it, they needed a trailer. They needed something.

The trailer, eh, of course I've seen better. But it is worth it for even a glimpse into the brilliance that will be Alice in Wonderland. I've watched it three times already, yearning for more. Johnny Depp looks so sexy, even as the Mad Hatter...only Johnny. 2010 is way too long to wait for this.

Knock Off

So this morning I was watching The View (Yes, I know...) and Demi Lovato of Disney fame was on. One of the women made an interesting comment. Her new show "Sonny with a Chance" is like 30 Rock for her age group.

And guess what, that's exactly what it is! I was livid! I watched an episode of 30 Rock last night and an episode of Sonny today and it broke my heart.

I love 30 Rock. It is hysterical, but you have to get that kind of
humor. Otherwise it is lost on you. It is lost on a lot of people. Unfortunately.

Sonny with a Chance is a show about the production of a
comedy sketch show. Same as 30 Rock. Not only that but the characters are the same. Demi plays the part of Sonny who is of course Liz Lemon on 30 Rock played by the brilliant Tina Fey.

There is a Tracy Jordan character, a Jenna, a Kenneth and even a Jack. I know I know!

Needless to say this has forever damaged me. How could they. Sure it's young and not as funny and I am almost sure that they didn't do it on purpose, but still.

Don't believe me? See for yourself...This is how an episode of 30 Rock would start. Exactly the same

Grrrrrr!

Here is a video of the New Moon press conference at Comic-Con featuring Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and everyones favorite vampire Robert Pattinson.

I don't care about the new movie details and Robert's view of Edward. My favorite part was most definitely what the three never want to be asked about.

Oh Taylor Lautner, I am going to have to start admiring you. You seem to have good taste and I want to make believe your sweet but he's too young for me to love...sigh. His answer however, was perfection.


If at some point I could ask him a questions, assuming I am a Twi-Hard, I am pretty sure it wouldn't be to growl. Girls these days...ew. They make me ashamed.

PS. I want to attend Comic-Con. Mock if you wish

Taking it Back

I am not a fan of Tyler Perry. This is going to have to change. I take it all back. Right now.

I am sure most people heard about the 65 children who were kept from swimming because they would change the "complexion" of the swim club. These children were black. The backlash was immediate and deserved.

When the reports of this story first broke I couldn't quite believe it. I can't say I believe that this was against the rules of the club and the decision was most definitely not made by upper management (who later explained it would have been too overcrowded) , but the result of one persons prejudice.

Tyler Perry did something about it. He is sending them to Disney World. And then he thanked other people. He is thanking his fans for making him famous and therefore able to help others. We need more Tyler Perry's in Hollywood

They're Normal

Kevin Jonas grabbing recent fiance Danielle's ass at a softball game.

This photo alone is enough for me to start liking Kevin Jonas, because you know what this says to me, he is a perfectly normal human being. And a man at that. The thing that makes me hate this photo, her jersey says Mrs. Kevin Jonas. A little too soon for my taste, I hope she has something other then her relationship.

I think we have all heard about the purity rings by this point in their stardom. Of course I do think they have something to do with this young engagement, but hey, they've been together until now. That's a lot to go through for a young couple.

I have to admit, this makes me a bit proud. There is no way you would catch Joe engaged in this kind of affection, never There is always space between he and his "acquaintances." Awkward space I might add.

And Nick, oh goodness. God save us all if we have to endure Nick and Miley P.D.A...shudder

So, as far as I'm concerned, you go Kevin! I wish you and your fiance the best of luck. Looks like the chemistry is just right.

The Trifecta

Jamie Campbell Bower is the new ish. He is breaking onto the big screen in a huge way. Jamie is most well know at this point for playing Anthony in Sweeney Todd with Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, and Alan Rickman.

It was recently announced that Jamie will play the great wizard Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: parts 1 and 2.

Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Jamie Campbell Bower all stared in the Sweeney Todd and will now star in Harry Potter together.

How can I get in on this? Seriously...

Note to self: be European and star in movie with Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman...be set for life

Ahoy! And other Nautical Expressions


Let's continue this love affair, shall we?

As I was exiting the theatre last night after Harry Potter I was reminded by the amazing posters how unbelievable the new Alice in Wonderland will be.

Under regular circumstances, Tim Burton is not my taste. Sure he has had many many hits in his time directing but most of them are not my taste. But he is the only director for Alice. It is a dark tale.

And oh the cast. Johnny Depp, need I say more? He is perfection in every part, but the dark ones are where he shines. Example, Sweeney Todd. Who else could have played that part well. I mean he's not a great signer but the was the character.

Depp will be teaming up again with his Sweeney Todd co-star Helena Bonham Carter, who I am obsessed with of course. I love her. She is so cooky. She doesn't care about the pretty parts, which is why she is great. She hasn't been in one regular movie really. At least not recently. Every movie is dark, which is why it is no coincidence that she tends to be in
movies with Johnny Depp, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wonder if it's contractual, if it's dark and including one of them, the other is automatic?

Anne Hathaway making waves in this movie and I am calling it early. This is not what we would expect from Anne. Let's hope she doesn't screw it up

And of course...Alan Rickman! Yes, the love from Harry Potter, again with ties to Helena. He was also in Sweeney Todd!! It's so complicated.

So amped for this movie!

"After all these years, I just kind of go with it"


I was one of the multitudes who waited in lines and in theaters for hours to be one of the first to see the newest installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I have had almost 12 hours to digest and am ready to spill...

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

This movie is less about the mechanical, the spells, and the potions, and more about the motion and the atmosphere. They are setting this up. They need to. Things needed to be explained. And most importantly, it's funny. The humor comes very naturally in the movie and the audience was laughing through most of it starting from the staircase scene in the Burrow until literally the last 20 minutes.

There is so much more Ron. He is great and hysterical and I never thought I'd say this but the biggest laughs come from Harry. Yeah that's right, Harry. I was greatly surprised by Daniel Radcliffe's ability to pull it off. Together the chemistry was there. Speaking of chemistry...

Ginny and Harry. Hermione and Ron. Both relationships were spot on!

One of my dislikes, the development of the relationship between Ginny and Harry. In the book this builds for a long time. And they finally kiss in front of the entire Gryffindor common room after Ginny wins the Quidditch championship while Harry is in detention, after which they date for a while. This is
my favorite part of the book. My problem? This isn't in the movie! No championship, no detention. I won't lie though, the kiss is HOT! As for Ron and Hermoine, it went perfectly. Lavendar Brown is wonderful, completely creepy and her braids crack me up.

My other problems with the movie? The pace and the ending. It didn't flow the way I would have liked it to. Again this goes back to having to cut out a lot of the book to fit in the bare bones. The ending however bothered me. The book is supposed to end after the funeral. After Harry tells Ginny they can't be together. Not in the movie though...

Now for the positives! Break out roles: Ginny Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Bellatix Lestrange, and of course Professor Severus Snape.

Ginny Weasley, enough said. Love of Harry Potters life. Only she is beautiful and eloquent. She holds herself so well in the movie. Love her. And love Bonnie Wright, she is
my new obsession.

Draco Malfoy, it's about freaking time! He is brilliant. Brilliant! From start to finish he is struggling to survive, to deal with his task. He is perfect. My only problem with him is how they dress him. I dig the suits but they make him look like he has a cinched waist. Ew! And he's still sexxy.

Bellatrix Lestrange. I need more. She is so bad it's good. Helena Bonham Carter is a-mazing. She is the best kind of evil. She is the kind of evil that curls your toes. But at the end of the day, you want more. Not to mention, I think she looks good somehow. And please don't ask me how.

Lastly, Snape. Oh Snape. You know while you're watching. You know what happens. The 7th book. Why he does everything he does. God bless Alan Rickman. He makes you feel it. He is bold and strong and evil, and touching. I am legitimately obsessed, no need to tell me. You want to hate him, but you can't. Not anymore. He is the hero of the movie, and everyone knew it. You could feel the compassion in the end. When Harry is hurling curses at Snape. My favorite moment of the movie.

"He trusted you!"

It almost got me...No one cried around me, but there were gasps and jumps and covered faces and it is a good movie. It's not everything I wanted it to be, but I will see it at least 2 more times. You should too. My question to you. Boy who plays young Voldemort...brilliant or annoying?

Hey Chicago What do you Say?

The Cubs are going to win today!

I root for the Cubs. I will admit that I am new to the baseball world but when I started school in Chicago about 20 minutes from the historic Wrigley Field I know they would be my team.

When you live in Chicago, you have two choices, Cubs or White Sox. You root for one or you root for a hometown team. Anyway you have it though, Chicago is a baseball town.

It doesn't bother me that the team which is quickly changing my views on baseball (I used to hate baseball) hasn't won since 1908. In fact, it makes me love them more and more. Given the choice between the Cubs and the White Sox it depends on what you want. If I wanted a team to always win, and if I wanted a team cheer for and know it might just happen then obviously the choice is the White Sox.

But I will take history over winning any day. The Cubs represent something. Cubs fans will tell you everything you might ever want to know about the Cubs, and when they loose of course they will be disappointed. But holy lord, when then win, you better be ready for a crazy night. I have been the fortunate CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) passenger who made the wrong decision to take the red line when there's a Cubs game.

If you've never been on the red line then I'll let you know that it stops directly next to Wrigley. Like Wrigley Field backs up onto the red line. Therefore, it the best mode of transportation for fans. Heaven forbid that you should be on the El when the game lets out. Jam packed with red white and blue jerseys (I want one so bad) and everyone is drunk as hell. If there is one thing Chicago might do best, it's baseball and booze

Hears the point, you can mock me for suddenly being a baseball fan and then for being a Cubs fan, but it will never change. Now give me a damn jersey!

Not My Type

When I was watching baseball at work last night, I made the remark that I don't like baseball players. I don't mean that I don't like all people who play baseball, I just mean that I don't find the build of a baseball player attractive.

This was met by "Are your crazy?" comments. I guess this means I'm crazy not to find A-Rod attractive. I do not find A-Rod attractive, for many reasons including how he is built and his dating history.

I wouldn't say I have an exact type, and this is not to say that if I met a baseball player I wouldn't find him intriguing. It just means that in the grand scheme of things, I would prefer a different sport, one that didn't take a guy for more the half the year. The life of a baseball player is ridiculous and I wouldn't make it. No holidays no days off and constantly worried about staying in the majors, not for me.

Trailer Time!


The only words I can truly say about this is Pearl Harbor on crack. With a crazy Tobey Maguire, who I don't find the least bit attractive, and a really smart child.

Did you hear her? How old is she?

She is certainly not old enough to know that her mother enjoys sex with Uncle Tommy more then her husband, no way no how.

But back to the point. This is disappointing because I love Natalie Portman. I love that she is intelligent and not afraid to show it, she is a role model. Not that gross Miley Cyrus. I want to say that this movie was a great choice for Natalie, but I am afraid it is not. It's surprising considering the cast.

As I said, Tobey Maguire is not my favorite. What I want to know is how much weight he had to lose to play this part. I won't lie, sometimes he looks pretty good court-side at the Lakers, as good as you can look sitting next to Leo (...quiver...) But not here, not at all. His head is bony...

Better with Time


Lance Armstrong has aged backwards. I swear he has. He is more attractive with every single Tour de France he does. Maybe it's the wisdom behind the eyes or the fact that he's overcome more obstacles then a person should.

I love watching the Tour. It gives me something to look forward to every year instead of the Olympics which I have to wait for. I relate to this sport for some reason. I think it has to do something with the intensity. It's one of those sports that I can't watch without having the intense urge to work out. It makes me want to be fit. These guys can climb the Pyrenees on a bike that is 2cm wide then I can run a mile. And it's worth it.

Back to my point, Lance is sexy. He is truthful and he's a charitable man. I love the new commercial for the Livestrong foundation. The ones where he basically says that he doesn't care what you think about this comeback, or his life. He's one of those people who you want to be when someone puts you down. You want to win the Tour de France and shove in their face. And he's actually capable.

He's riding team Astrana, as he said "It's no secret that the relationship with the team isn't ideal." It's not even close. The point of the team in the Tour is for one team to help one rider win. Team Astrana has 5 guys capable of winning. Who's it going to be?

I say Lance in yellow!

No More

For me this has been coming for a while. I know David Beckham is beautiful that cannot be denied. But sometimes, he aggravates me. Intensely. And do not get me wrong but sometime that body just doesn't do it for me. But now, there will be no more attraction. It has been reported today that in a book focused on the Beckham's, to be released sometime in the future, there is mention of their relationship with Tom Cruise.

Remember when the Beckhams lived in the United States for like 2 days, and Victoria had a hysterical reality show? Well then you might remember that they had a huge coming out party. The big names in attendance, Will and Jada Smith, and you guessed it Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. This was a big deal. They were giving them the nod. I do not like Tom Cruise. The only movie that I can stomach is Top Gun, and the only reason I can is because of Goose.

Anyway, in this new book David admits that when he and Victoria first met Tom they were so taken with him they decided Cruise was a good name. Obviously they changed the spelling, but I have no more respect for them.

Can't. Wait.

Less then a week until the highly anticipated Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is out in theaters. I bought my ticket to the midnight premiere. I will be there, on the edge of my seat along with hundreds of other Harry Potter nerds. If you have never been to a midnight premiere, you need to. There is nothing like it. All the crazies come out for the premieres. They dress up and quote the movie and get into deep conversations debating random details any regular fan wouldn't remember. It's priceless.
This is of course the three stars of the show at a photo call at the premiere in the rain. These three are amazing. I love that they stuck it out and gave interviews and signed autographs even though it was pouring. Of course my favorite is Emma. She is just so, eh, she's perfect. I love her and her style. This dress, beautiful. And it's covered in rain, I am so jealous. Most of you heard about her wardrobe malfunction, the flap in her dress exposing not much really. She was wearing underwear, scandal avoided for the most part
Emma was on Letterman last night and she was perfection. She had him going the whole interview, which is hard to do with Dave. Hw doesn't seem to care, this bothers me but it doesn't bother her. I love that she will be attending college in the States, with a roommate and probably a meal plan. It makes me so happy to think that I can relate to Emma Watson, now if only I had her clothes...

Shameful

I do not like Miley Cyrus. I will make this no secret. I think she is gross. I do not approve of her corrupting what is the youth of the world. When I look at her it makes me think of that little girls store, some loo something, where little girls get all dolled up with fake hair and sparkles and while they think it's cute you're just left wondering why the hell there parents would let this happen. This is trashy. Who decided that Miley Cyrus was allowed to be famous. I would be a better famous person then her, and I would hate it, but still I would be better. If you make as much as Miley Cyrus does, you either buy an expensive white bra, or you don't wear a bra. But a black bra under a wife beater (I am choosing to not comment on the wife beater)? Don't get me wrong I do not approve with the no bra outfit, but still, this is just, ew.

Preacher Man

So I don't know how many of you saw Rev. Al Sharpton's impromptu "eulogy," as one of my unlces phrased it, outside of the Apollo Theatre after the death of Michael Jackson. It was semi-ridiculous. One of those, who do you think you are type deals. I mean don't get me wrong, I am all for the Reverend consoling people and trying to help in the healing process but this was over the top. People were wailing and he was up there shaking his almighty hand, it was just too soon. Anyway here is Al Sharpton at the memorial gathering for Michael Jackson, as a tribute, a dance party if you will (or even if you won't) at the Apollo Theatre. I love this first picture. Like he is loving life he's one of the only people on stage because he's like the master you know. His face is saying "I run this!" He is pumping up that crowd. If there is one thing Al should be know for it is his ability to hold a crowd. The second picture however, just creeps me out. In that picture his face is saying "Get you some!" I'm pretty sure she's wearing all denim. This is not how I like my men of God, but I digress, to each his own. I cannot blame him for this though. Michael Jackson's music is catchy, and I will admit I will dance to it all.

I Don't Want to Hate Him

Bill Nighy told a reporter from The Independent "I don't think I'm allowed to say it but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film." Bill will play the part of Rufus Scrimgeour. First, I love that he said he wasn't allowed to say it but he did. This is Bill Nighy, he doesn't apologize for who he is. Oh course I love love love him in Love Actually. I know he will do well in this part because somehow he pulled off being Davy Jones in Pirates of the Carribean and he did it well, even if his entire body was computer generated. The one this about this peice of news, although I am very happy for Bill, is that we are supposed to hate Rufus Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour is the Minister of Magic in the seventh book and he is awful. If you haven't read the seventh book then you have not heard of him, but seriously I don't want to hate Bill. I am worried this might be it for oour relationship...oh the end of an era
