Jess > Dean


Milo Ventimiglia will always be a love of mine. I cannot help that Dean was a whiny bastard and Jess was a hot literary buff. Not even a competition.

I do not approve of his taste in younger women...unless that woman is me. I am oh so glad that he and Hayden Panettiere broke up, it was almost rude.

Here he is with a possible love interest Jaimie Alexander. She is dressed down. Hayden doesn't know the meaning of dressed down. She is always a 30 year old, no matter what. Jaimie on the other hand, pretty, so pretty. Naturally.

Couple Crush

So I get friend crushes, and since I have one on both Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper I now have a couple crush.

I love these two. It is obvious that they have chemistry, and I wanted Dominic hard core during "Mamma Mia!" When he breaks into Lay All Your Love On Me I died. I could have crumpled to the floor at that moment. And now that I've mentioned it, I do gasp every time it happens.

I just feel as if I would get along with them, and maybe be jealous of their relationship.

"All the Single Babies"


So this video just made my day. Along with friends who are amazing. But I know that there is nothing like a dancing baby and I won't lie, I love this song. Too much.

Also in case you guys haven't seen it yet, Glee will be doing "Single Ladies" too. That's right. I attached it too...

Never Fails

Colin Firth never makes to bring the quiver...Courtney try to contain yourself. For everyones sake. Just watch it. I have nothing else to say besides watch it. Now

Marky!

I love me some Marky Mark! I mean the boys charming. Give me a break.

So Mark is currently filming a movie with Will Ferrell. I hate this combination. This is no Jay and Chris. This is a train wreck. Lets be real here. Will's star is declining. His last few movies have had no chance at the box office.

Mark on the other hand, will always be worthy. At least in my eyes. Maybe I'll see it. Mark will save it...I'm sure of it. Fingers crossed

Mad Combination


So if this isn't the best pairing of all time I'm not sure who else would beat it. Apparently Jay-Z and Chris Martin are good friends?

You know what I ant to know about this? How the heck did they meet? What do they do when they hang out? And do you think Gwen and Beyonce are friends??

I have no idea where they met, but they go on double dates! I would kill, literally kill to sit in on that double date. Chris and Gwen were actually present at the wedding of Jay and B. You know what that means? They've known each other a long long time...Curious!

It just fascinates me. Anyway, the other night at a Coldplay concert Jay tackled Chris onstage. Wonderful!


Sick Individuals

John Travolta testified today against two people accused of blackmailing him with private information on his son, Jet's death.

What kind of people do this to a grieving dad? Awful awful people. Today was John's first formal confirmation that his son had a form of autism. He confirmed that his son suffered from seizures, it wasn't uncommon.

I love John Travolta. When his son tragically died I couldn't even process it. But no one should ever take advantage of you, especially in such a time.

Makes me sick...

Kicking Butt


Jackson Rathbone. The boy can pull of leather. I love that in a boy.

Jackson was apparently injured on the set of "Eclipse" while rehearsing with Kellan Lutz. I guess the guy doesn't know his own strength.

I have to admit when I read the books...years ago, I took lots of pleasure in Jasper kicking Emmett's ass...just saying. I hope it was nothing serious

My Favorite Jen


I am not a Jennifer Aniston fan. I never have been. Jennifer Garner on the other hand I am a big fan of. She is a classy funny girl who can pull off most parts.

She's cute. She seems young. She doesn't act old she's a kid at heart and you can tell. I can only imagine what home with Ben Affleck is like with the two of them together I'm sure it's hysterical. I love that she plays with Jay.

She pulls off the backwards cap perfectly. And come on "Don't worry Pape we got you!"

PS. She looks radiant in the purple, non?


It Gives Me Hope

Every once in while I just need a story to make me feel like there is hope. Here is a video that I needed this morning.

Freshman running back Matt Ziesel scored a touchdown in the big rival football game. Matt has down syndrome and has spent the entire season on the bench. The team was going to be shut out in a 46-0 game but the coaches and teams cooperated to give this 15 year old an amazing memory.

I know that in my high school a rival game was not about mercy. But this game was one for the books.

Father Sa-woon


Hugh Jackman. Hugh Jackman in a suit. Hugh Jackman in a suit chasing his daughter, Ava who is on a scooter in New York. I mean, does any woman really have a chance with this photo.

Not to mention the shades....

I love a family man. And Hugh is the best of the best. Low key yet a star in his own right. He knows his place. Remember when he sang at the Oscars which he hosted. Bless him!

The Pretty Oh

Sandra Oh glows. It must be her skin or something, all I know is she always look amazing, and she rarely gets the credit for it.

Last night at the Emmy's, she was nominated but I think it was understood that the academy wasn't going to give her a supporting nod for Grey's Anatomy. Not to say that it isn't good television but it's not really award winning. Or it shouldn't be at least.

Her style on the other hand should be awarded. She always looks flawless. Remember her in "Under the Tuscan Sun" because she looked wonderful...

My Man


Shia. What else is new? I know I know you are all tired of him by now but let me have my fun, alright?

So Shia on set is the best kind of Shia. He's not pouty or scruffy. And the boy can pull off a suit. I mean he is wearing that suit. Shia always wears his clothes, which is part of why I love him so much. I love a boy who can wear the clothes.

I'm just going to stare at him for a while.

Also, I love the undone tie...ugh

Lusting

I love Neil Patrick Harris. And every time I see him I fall more in love with him then remember his boyfriend is cuter then me...hey, at least I can admit it.

He was amazing last night hosting the Emmy's. Lets be honest here he saved the Emmy's last night. There is only so far you can go with the television crowd. I mean the Tony's hosted by him were one of the highlights of my summer.

Only Neil can pull off the white jacket. He has style and he knows how to work it. If you're going to wear it you need to rock it, and he rocked it.

Empire State of Mind

I have a thing for Jay-Z. Leave me alone. I know that people don't understand it when I say this, but I just look at him and am immediately attracted.

He is also Beyonce's Husband. And I love Beyonce. Beyonce is worthy of Jay. So she gets to have him. I won't complain about her because she is brilliant and talented and sings live. It shouldn't be such a big deal that she sings live but did you see the VMA "Single Ladies" performance? It was bananas!

As was Jay's performance. I love that he is too cool to even be present for the awards. He just shows up to close the show and it's fine. He can do it. I love it

I cried earlier when I saw this video on Perez. This is why I love them. They are low key, not ever in my face, but they do good deeds. Did you hear about Jay's benefit performance for 9/11? He sold out Madison Square garden for cheap tickets to benefit those who couldn't normally see him preform. He was pissed because scalpers were buying all the tickets and reselling them for jacked up prices. And my heart was won...

Here is Beyonce at her concert in Sydney. She sang to a leukemia patient. When she started mouthing the words I lost it...



Glowing

I will admit to loving the original Laguna Beach. I will completely own up to it. And you know why? Because it was highly entertaining. It still is highly entertaining. But don't watch it too long, you start to talk like them.

Anyway, my point is that I never had a problem with Lauren Conrad. She has made bank on being herself, and yes I do believe she is herself. No I don't believe that everything that happened was real but I liked her in general.

She looks amazing. She looks naturally pretty here. Who knows if she really looks like this in real life but the green and the hair. She looks great.

Good Taste?

I am refusing to believe that these two enjoy tennis. In New York when the US Open is in town it's just another event. I would kill to be at the US Open.
I love tennis and I grew up around it. I've only ever see women play lie though and I will say seeing Venus Williams play tennis is amazing. But I am having a very hard time believe that Blake and Penn watch tennis at any point throughout the year.

I will admit I could be wrong about this, but I am pretty sure I'm not. This is so annoying.

Wimbeldon is on my list though. I will go. I must go!

We Need More Amanda's


Here is Amanda Seyfried at the Hot Topic event for the premiere of "Jennifer's Body."

I love Amanda. I have loved her since she was Lily on "Veronica Mars", one of my favorite shows. I love Amanda so much that I forgive her for starring in a movie with Megan Fox, just like I forgive Shia.

I hate Megan Fox. Not only because I don't understand why she is attractive but she's an idiot and annoying and she makes me ashamed to e a woman. That's right. I pulled the woman card.

But really people, look at the girl. She just gives the air of kindness. And she is beautiful. Why s it that men will lust over Megan but gloss over the gorgeous Amanda? Ugh...

The Jesuits did it first...


So for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, this is the largest flash mob ever! Oprah shut down half of Michigan Avenue for two days to have her premiere episode outside and thousands of people showed up. I was in class so I didn't get to go but I know lots of people who went.

The had a rehearsal and Oprah had no idea about it. Which might be the best part.

The other best part? Last week for school on the downtown campus, one of my universities two campus' the Jesuits shut down a few blocks just off Michigan where our campus is to have a block party. The do it every year. Just saying. We did it first Oprah. Who's the mighty one now?

Leatha!

I want a leather jacket so bad it kind of physically hurts. I just have to be willing to bite the bullet and buy one. I think I could really pull it off in some instances.

Put one on my boyfriend Shia and holy cow, you better be careful! And he's brooding. Courtney hates the brooding. I love the brooding! Only on Shia though. In real life brooding is such a turn off.

He can pull it off though, you have to give him that. He can pull most things off. And you don't have any movie crews writing angry letter about him on their websites *cough* Megan Fox *cough*

"She's thirteen. And you seen the movie..."

Ryan Kwanten. Now playing Jason Stackhouse on the mega-hit "True Blood" but does no one remember his role on a another hit, at least in my heart "Summerland."

Lori Loughlin and Jesse McCartney both starring. Zac Efron guest stars in a bunch of episodes. Come on! He played the cool roommate who tries so hard to be a good role model but kind of drops the ball, all the time. It was endearing really. Of course my title is his best line from the entire series. I'm going to start using it. With the grammatical mistake.

I miss that kind of trashy television. Why is it out of style now. I love intelligent entertainment but I also love mindless drama. That's the best kind of drama.

Ryan is looking way sexier now. Ugh. I need HBO

We Go Together


Rachel McAdams and Leighton Meester. Seriously? Are they trying to make me feel unworthy. Because if so, they have succeeded.

And the two of them look like they go together, right? Matching shoes...a little bit awkward but hey they're rocking them. Leighton can pull anything off and of course so can Rachel so they are just perfection. I died a little inside when I saw this.

I Would Never Hope for a Divorce...But


I really do not like Jennifer Connelly. Not that I really know her but everything she's acted in I have not liked her. I suppose you're not supposed to like her very much. She is pretty. But she seems like a nagger.

Recently I read about how she had a breast reduction and it made a big difference! I was real jealous. I don't think that I would ever go that far but it would be nice to be just a cup size smaller.

The real reason I am writing about her though is that I love Paul Bettany, and he is married to her. I wasn't planning on liking her t all, but since I love him and trust him I have to like her. I hate it when that happens.

Travel in My Hood

So this is my second blog today about SJP. I don't know why I am loving her so much this week but apparently she can do no wrong.

Even off the set she looks great. This is the outfit that I want to take my kids to school in. I want to be the cool mom. All of my friends would be surprised by this fashion choice, but I don't mind it.

Also, her son has gotten so old. Right? I feel like he was just born. And now he's off to school. So cute!

Whip What Exactly?


This is a dream come true. Drew Barrymore and Ellen page are featured in Marie Claire Magazine speaking about there new movie "Whip It" and I am obsessed with the both of them.

I love Drew Barrymore, I've mentioned this a couple of times before but I just adore her. She has been through everything a "star" can go through way before anyone should. Rehab before you're a teenager is never a good thing. But she turned her life around. Completely around. I just love the way she handles herself. She is poised and making great desicions and is very well respected in Hollywood. Not to mention "Never Been Kissed" is one of my favorite movies.

Ellen Page is perfect. They are both flawless and I am not surprised that these two ended up working together. They
are picky. Picky is a good thing for an actress. She doesn't take every part. And while the majority of her movies are quirky and funny and heart-warming, she's a brilliant actress and I will be seeing this movie for sure!

Pacey No More

Joshua Jackson is on my list. He is top three material. I have always love him ever since "The Mighty Ducks" which is still one of my favorite movies. "Goldberg!!" Gets me every time.

His show, "Fringe" is perfect for him now. And of course I love that he's dating Diane Kruger because she is talented and beautiful. He is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly talking about his show and he is just so adorable I can't quite think right now.

"This [show] as been the total opposite of my 'Dawson's Creek' experience. 'Fringe' has taken a while to percolate in the pop culture."

Ugh I am swooning! Look at him all dapper in purple, the new color! I attached a clip from the second Mighty Ducks movie for a nice comparison. Look at him all young and still adorable.


Ace!

I love tennis. I love love love it! I have grown up around tennis among other sports and whenever there is a tournament it is always on in my house.

The newest tennis star is Melanie Oudin and I absolutely love her. I mean look at her, she is so cute (I want her jeans). It has been a long time since I have had a favorite women's tennis player. I mean mens is simple, Roger. Roger is wonderful and I am sure Rafa is also worthy of my praise but Roger will always be the one. The current one really. Over all I would take Andre Agassi any day of the week. But I digress.

Melanie Oudin has captured the hearts of tennis watchers. That is a feat. You have to be good to be loved by those who appreciate tennis. I love her. I would always wish to see her beat Sharapova. Hate her.


So I will be watching the US Open finals this weekend, I suggest you do too!

Is It Good or Bad?

Sometimes fashion taste runs on the border of good or bad. To be honest, I dig this outfit! I do not like 80's style because it's so done up. If you know mw you know my taste is simplistic, and it works for me.

This however, and any look really can be lulled off by the wonderful Sarah Jessica Parker. I only like her on Sex and the City and I disagree with everyone who thinks she's so hideous.

Not to mention, I love Matthew Broderick. I mean he might be gay, but he's also wonderful.

Too Many Bumbs

Ellen Pompeo must be about to give birth. There is no way she is far from it. She's a cute pregnant woman, she really is, but the belly-button is freaking me out.

I am not nit-picking, I am just saying that in this picture and perhaps it's the dress, the belly-button looks terrifying.

My good friend Emily (the one who loves purple) has a fear of belly-buttons which I didn't understand until now...She was so right

The Clockmaker's Son

Zachary Quinto. Even the name makes me quiver. Is it morally wrong to have a gay man on my list? Because Zachary Quinto could totally top my list.

I have loved him in every single thing I have seen him in. I wish I still had the time to follow TV shows because he made "Heroes." I don't care what anyone says. He can be as evil as he wants to be. He is sexy when he's evil. If I could be his friend I would in a heartbeat and I would lust after him the entire time. That's how much I love him.

I think it's how even when he's dressed in horizontally red and white stripes he still gives off a bad boy vibe. Ugh. Love

There's My Man

My day is never complete until I get some good Shia pics. I totally love him. I am also pretty pissed he's found someone else to love. I mean thats great for him but she reminds me of Kelly Osbourne the younger years. Those years were her bad years...just saying.

Anyway, here is Shia nice and clean shaven. I will take him any way he comes but clean him up a little bit and I will swoon all over that! Like I said, I am not a scruff girl. Only for Shia

Baby Fever

A big congratulations to Nicole Richie who gave birth to a boy his afternoon named Sparrow James Midnight Madden.

I will admit to hating Nicole Richie a few short years ago. Not anymore though. If there is one person who I think have turned there lives around she is around the number two spot. The number one is reserved for Drew Barrymore.

Congratulations to Nicole and family!

Purple is My Color

So my good friend Emily loves purple and ever since she told me it was her favorite I see it everywhere. Including on one of my favorite couples, Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson. I only like Hayden in this relationship.

I would like to care about him but he ruined Star Wars for me and I will not forgive him for that. Rachel Bilson on the other hand is a total girl crush of mine. I love her. I love that she is wearing this outfit and rocking it.

I dig the yellow on her. Yellow is in fact my favorite color so this outfit is really heaven. Hayden is not looking bad himself. I almost wish he had a little more stubble...and I never say that. Scruff is not my thing...

Oh Lourd

This is Lourdes Leon out and about in some city somewhere. She takes after her mother. But half the time all I can think about is why her mothers lets her do things like this.

I am a stickler for manners. Never ever is it okay to chew with your mouth open. If you do it I will say something. You would think that she would have the decency to close her mouth.

I really don't care for her but she is young still and she needs some time to figure things out. For instance, I think she needs a hair cut. Her hair is too over-powering for her face. I mean she's in amazing shape. I wish I could still have the shape I did when I was that age. Not to mention the fact that I really don't like animal print.

I Feel Bad About It

The parents of a seven year old who recently passed away fulfilled his wish by getting legally married...at his funeral.

I know this post will seem ridiculous but really guys? At his funeral?? This is just a little too far. Not to mention wouldn't it have been great for there son to be able to see his parents get married?

The child was involved in a car crash and died the next day. Loosing a child is a tragedy. There are not many things that come close to it. But I still have a problem with the wedding part.

How Do You Like Them Apples?

I have a thing for Matt Damon. I always have and I always will. He is my George Clooney. I love him. He has been promoting his new film "The Informant" and he has been everywhere, and I am loving it!

He can play the best parts but is very very selective of accepting roles. Something which I find perfect. I love that he married someone outside of the business. She was a relative unknown, and they got married and had children and they live off the grid.

Rarely do you ever see shots of Matt Damon. He doesn't act for the fame. This is what he loves. I will forgive him for his past indiscretions. I will praise him for "Good Will Hunting", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", and of course Bourne. My favorite is "The Brothers Grimm" though. He is the funniest in that movie.

And I mean come on, look at the guy. He's got good guy written all over him. It's the smile. Love a boy with a good smile. Also, his wife is beautiful!

Oh Chucker

I really really want to watch the new season of Gossip Girl, but I know it's not going to happen. This makes me so sad.

You all know this about me, I love Chuck. I would sleep with Chuck if ever given the chance. But as you know, only Chuck, not Ed. Ed always shows his chest hair and dated the girl who played Vanessa. Chuck is with Blair, who is heaven.

I want Chuck. I love a boy who can pull of the purple. XOXO

I Need to Shop

I have realized recently that I truly do not have a wardrobe, and it's becoming a problem. I would not usually post about those Kardashian folks, even if they are real juicy when it comes to drama.

But I am having not only show jealousy, but bag jealousy. Thank goodness I am not having hair jealousy or I might have to kill myself.



My Apologies

Sorry all for being away for so long. I am just now getting settled. Hopefully a good round of school gossip will hit soon. Fingers crossed. I am going to try to keep posting about the usuals but throwing in some good college dish, because lets face it, it's good dish!
