The 80th Annual Academy Awards




Well...with the writers strike having ended just recently- there was not much time to get stuff together but I was not complaining as I enjoyed the montages throughout BUT I do not think Jon Stewart was funny...at all. The big suprises were Tilda Swinton winning Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton but hey didn't I call it?..kinda.. and also I was SOOOO HAPPY Marion Cotillard won Best Actress for the little-seen movie La Vie En Rose. If anyone saw it prior to now, you just knew she would win regardless of the stiff competition. But yeah NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN dominated with Javier Bardems win, the Coen Bros. win for Director and finally the win for best picture. Not a bad choice at all but my heart is with There Will Be Blood of course. I leave you with some sexy pics of Marion Cotillard and Amy Adams (I loved her singing but 'thats how you know' got butchered...yay for enchanted still..even though im glad the song from ONCE took the prize and how bout when Marketa got cut off and they let her come back to speak and then she had the best speech of the night) ok ok im boring you byee.


ok one more thing---Diablo Cody...uh, nice to be different all but seriously its the oscars u weirdo and ur movie sux.

oh and another reason this show was just not so good was cuz superstars were missing hardcore. next year will be better (Revolutionary Road, Doubt) but seriously

no signs of :

cruise
witherspoon
streep
smith
roberts

the list goes onnn

Caught up on the Oscar race 90%


So I just finished Michael Clayton. And boy was it a thinking persons movie. Hahaha. I was not in the mood to "Get it" but I sure did cuz it was good and I felt smart for following it. It unfolds at a dandy pace and has one hell of a clever ending..and a suprisingly touching one. Poor Michael...I wanna hang out with the guy, he'd be totally cool to play cards with! And Tilda Swinton ...boy, they ain't kiddin when they say you could win the oscar- you shady bitch! You rocked though....the movie is nominated for SO MUCH but I honestly don't know what I'd give it if I had to..oh wait, I know...Best Original Screenplay b/c it's only competetion is stupid JUNO!! God, I could have wrote a better screenplay. Yes, I'm still sweating JUNO and how much it's blown up for nothing. But oh well I can't be hating cuz I don't have any 100 mil+ movie. Ok so I am extremely sad that I missed Persepolis and The Diving Bell and The Butterly but I will atleast see 'Persepolis' before it leaves theatres...I'm part persian AND I read the books...what is wrong with that picture? Ok so I'm off to NYC tommorow...got some business to take care of ...haha no but I'll be sure to get on here Sunday and let you know of my happiness or sadness as the wins are announced. I hear it may rain, SUX!!! Goodnight!!

Not that sexy....


Sorry...I've seen split reactions over this and I've always been one to root for Lindsay but I've kinda accepted that...it...is...all...over for her. In some pics I'm like damn yummy boobies and in others I'm like ew man.... so we'll see where her career takes her but I think that some stars can hit career suicide after this kind of stuff.

Charlie Bartlett



(8.5/10)

This movie was originally scheduled for an August release, leaving its trailer floating around for almost a year now. This would have put it up against Superbad and that would have been just that, bad! Hopefully it can find an audience of its own, but with a strict R rating that is pretty much unecessary, I doubt it.

Anton Yelchin, a young talent, really shines here. His previous effort is Alpha Dog and while he did fine, the movie blew! The cast is what holds all this together. I love Hope Davis, she is soooo incredibly underrated and Robert Downey Jr. who I'm usually not a fan of, not personally but just I dunno...has impressed me lately...(Zodiac) and of course I'm excited for a little action hero movie he has on the way. He plays the principal of the school in which Charlie goes to attend after being kicked out of every other school. Posh, private schools by the way...he can't seem to stay out of trouble in his effort to make friends. Well in this school he keeps it up by faking certain syndroms to his family shrink then he goes to school and plays therapist for everyone, EVERYONE...and we all have problems right? Charlie creates havoc and drama and hilarity and yeah... some will complain that this is typical and borrows from 80s fare but hey..I'll take it. It's nice to see a teen movie that isn't just a common raunch fest like always, this has heart...and a sudden dark turn near the end either works for you or doesn't. I'd say this is Heathers meets Rushmore meets Ferris? I dunno. It's a little off balance at times but I don't have many complaints. It's a solid effort.

Catching up on Oscar fare- Gone Baby Gone Edition.


How did I miss this in theatres? How did we all miss it? With not much promo, star power or faith in its director, I can see why....but I am so happy I caught it. At first it seems typical but becomes nothing of the sort. Casey Affleck and Michelle Monahan(sp?) star as two detectives on a case for a missing girl whose mother is a complete crackwhore. But she is played brilliantly by oscar-nominated Amy Ryan- I had to see what the fuss was all about! Her screentime is minimal though but she really does shine as in your not sure whether to love or loathe her. I don't wanna give much else away from the plot but the ending will leave you stuck in a catch-22 of sorts..not knowing exactly how you wish it would have resolved. Check it out. Casey Affleck is a better actor this bro for sure, he kicked ass! But Ben behind the camera, whew! That is another story, he rocked.

Next up: Michael Clayton

Gossip Gals


So sexy.... :). I'm excited for the show to return as well as all my shows since there are so few I actually enjoy.

So much legal mumbo jumbo....


I really don't know what is going on with Britney and to be honest I'm sick of all the crap news that comes out. I'm ready for "Britney's Law" (No Joke) to take action against the paps. I want her to be sane. I think she is getting better? Who knows...


** You should download "BREAK THE ICE" her new and third single...it's really catchy and dancy and hot and I feel as if the promotion is just getting less and less but I hope she realizes that her past 2 singles have both been in the top twenty. Now imagine if she was promoting? The song is one of the strongest on the album...I hope she makes a video.

Hey guys!

Sorry I've been busy...in a good kind of hectic way?! I have some cool stuff though and of course the Oscars are sunday so that is exciting! Ciao.

Hopefully Brit can see her kids according to E!


EOnline.com: Britney Spears still has at least 10 days of quality time in the psych ward of UCLA Medical Center.

But, according to an insider closer to Spears' custody battle with Kevin Federline, the "Gimme More" singer's successful completion of her hospital stint would put her on track to regain visitation rights with her children after her discharge. "It will be monitored visitation, of course," the source tells E! News. "But still, she'll get to see her kids. They are just looking for signs that she's stabilized. But look, if she continues to take whatever medication she needs and sees her doctors regularly, they won't keep her kids from her."

Federline, 29, is aware of the possibility and isn't opposed to the visits.

"As long as she in a stable place, mentally, and there's a monitor there, he's okay with it," the source says.

Spears, 26, hasn't seen sons Sean Preston or Jayden James for more than a month. She is scheduled to remain hospitalized through Valentine's Day. The next hearing in her custody case is Feb. 19.

Separately, the K-Fed camp took a shot from Spears' side on Monday. Michael Sands, the spokesman for Federline lead attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, was the latest person to be subpoenaed in the long-playing custody clash.

Spears' legal eagles at Trope and Trope served Sands Monday, compelling him to submit to a deposition.

While Sands is not commenting on why Team Britney want to talk to him, his attorney, Randolph Wright, offers that they might be trying to press his client on what he knows about Kevin Federline's lifestyle.

"That would make sense," Wright said. "Why else bring in a top media consultant hired for Kevin's case and try to depose him? It seems to me they are trying to find out about the relationship between my client and Kevin Federline." But Wright added that he suspects Trope and Trope will gain very little by grilling Sands.

"My guess," said Wright, "is that is will be a very short deposition."

Britney graces the cover of ROLLING STONE...


But it is certainly not like one from the glory days. Although, ironically, the picture is from 2004. A simple headline that packs a punch. Since Britney herself was of course not used for the interview or story we don't know how much is fact but in the end of the day it's just sad and one can hope for a return to form health-wise and career-wise one day.

Here is a small excerpt:

" In person, Britney is shockingly beautiful — clear skin, ruby lips, a perfectly proportioned twenty-six-year-old porcelain doll with a nasty weave. She cuts through the crowd swiftly, the way she used to when 20,000 adoring fans mobbed her outside a concert, with her paparazzi boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, trailing behind."

WALL-E! and my fave superbowl ad!

I'm really glad the GIANTS pulled through. That last quarter was awesome. As for commercials- the talking stain tide pen one had me laughing sooo hard! haha check it out!


and of course Disneys new Pixar film this year WALL-E looks so funny and cute and I got a real kick out of this ad. I can't WAIT to see it :).


Ok and I can't let you go just yet----The Narnia trailer for PRINCE CASPIAN looks f'n ridiculous. I'm so excited.

Playboy loves B


Heres a bit of good news for Britney and her fans.
While many may think the contrary, Playboy thinks other wise. Playboy Magazine has given Britney Spears the #10 spot on their annual 10 Hottest Celebs in the year of 2008.

The line up also included Christina Aguilera at #9 and Angelina Jolie at #1.

One Republic concert.


I'm so glad I got to see them. I've been suprised at how much I enjoy a good handful of the songs on their new cd, Dreaming Out Loud! They were cool and saved my fave song for last. Best of luck guys!

The Savages


I saw this movie tonight. Finally got to catch it....um not really going to review it, it's certainly a 2007 film and I'm glad it scored Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay. Basically Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffamn are semi-estranged brother and sister who didn't have the best childhood. On finding out their father is really ill, they reunite to help him find a nursing home of some sort. Guilt and tragedy kind of take over their emotions. The story doesn't sit well all the time. It's very depressing but with enough doses of real life and comedy. I dunno...I'm a little indifferent, I liked it though. :). Loved the final scene! Sweet, tragic, cute...lots of thing.

Just pray.

Piece of Me remixes on Itunes....


Good stuff get it!..



also, Break the Ice is the official 3rd single..more word later.



yes I know Britney is in the hospital. she is in my prayers ...
