Saoirse in green and as Katniss?
Acclaimed young actress Saoirse Ronan attended the Irish premiere of Shrek yesterday in a pair of steezy pink chucks with a blazer, topped off with light green Ray-Bans which obviously I love because I have them too. (Photo attached from Barbados) Saoirse, now 16, is always at the top of the list for discussion on who should play Katniss Everdeen in Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games film adaptation. Full Review
Mads & Lisbeth
This is for you, you know who you are, and you keep asking me about Mads Mikkelsen and why he doesn’t get enough love so here he is, last night at the gala for La princesse de Montpensier with Barthelemy Grossmann, and none other than Noomi Rapace. Who? She plays Lisbeth Salander in the film adaptations for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo of the Millennium Series, motherf-ckers, which means she’s the original and no one should be adapting that sh-t for English.

Dumbest idea ever
Last year those UK tabloids kept reporting that Johnny Depp had been confirmed as The Riddler in the new Batman movie. At the time there wasn’t even a script ready for the new Batman movie. Needless to say the story was full of sh-t. As is this one. The UK Sun... Full Review
Emma, Dexter and my Summer Book List
It’s Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew. And it really, really is, non? Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess were photographed in Edinburgh this weekend working on One Day. Look at them them! They totally ARE! Jim’s hair. He’s gorgeous. Like so much. And Annie’s clothes, the way she looks in glasses, even her gait a little bit. Full Review
Going in Circles
Posted by Duana So last night I sent out an all-call to my friends. You know the type, where you kind of feel whiny and precious and you don't know what you want them to do, exactly, but somehow someone sending you a hairstylist recommendation makes you feel like you're not alone and can go on functioning in the world? Heartfelt talks and emotions with your friends are great but more of the time you just want them to be there. Full Review
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
I don’t read much in the mystery/thriller genre. But Fiona, one of my best friends, is all over it. And she was really into Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy a couple of years ago. Then our other friend Heidi, who was pregnant at the time, read the first one, and just days before giving birth, became so obsessed that she hunted down Fiona for a copy of the second. Full Review
GOOPy’s summer book list
No chicken, no video, but books! GOOPy’s back to books! And it’s not a bad list either. Once again, Gwyneth Paltrow solicited reading recommendations from her well connected friends – when she casually throws down their credentials it’s better than namedropping – in preparation for what she calls some holiday time in August. Full Review
The Outcast
F-ck these first book bitches! Like Zadie Smith, Nigel Shriver, Diana Evans, and Aryn Kyle before her, Sadie Jones has delivered a debut that makes a jealous bitch like me cry out at the unfairness of it. SO unfair. Why couldn’t they have started slowly, with one or two mediocre efforts, before properly harnessing their talents? Why make everyone else feel so inadequate? And they’re so young. Full Review
A Knight created a Wizard
Speaking of deranged – Twihards are foaming at the mouth today in defence of their Supreme Leader Stephenie Meyer after Stephen King said she sucks. Heh. King was addressing... Full Review
Girls Like Us
My parents were immigrants. Their Western musical knowledge when they arrived in Canada was limited to the Beatles, Doris Day, and Elvis. Eventually my dad discovered Simon & Garfunkel and he karaoked Bridge Over Troubled Water (don’t you laugh!) at my wedding. So I did not grow up in a house with a vast library stocked with the classic albums, with the rock gods, the R&B pioneers, the jazz greats. Full Review
Bonk: the curious coupling of science and sex
Did you know that Alfred Kinsey once shoved a toothbrush inside his pee hole while investigating erogenous zones? I relayed this to my husband one night and he actually went to put on his jock strap. How about the fact that the final spurt from a man’s ejaculate is actually organic spermicide – nature’s way of ensuring some other dude doesn’t come along five minutes later to usurp his eggs? Meaning that Ebola Paris Hilton’s vaginal cavity is the single largest storage of natural spermicide on the planet… Roach is the funniest. Full Review
Twilight Series: Breaking Dawn
RENESMEE? RENESMEE??????????? Ugh. Ugh. And because two ughs are not enough, here’s one more: Ugh. Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book in the Twilight series, was released last Friday night. If you’ve yet to read it, please note there will be spoilers here. To revisit the previous article on the first 3 segments click here.... Full Review
Dog Whisperer Book Giveaway!
Dog Whisperer Book Giveaway! It’s the Ultimate Episode Guide to Cesar’s show indexed according to breed and behavioural problem. Thanks to the Dog Whisperer, my husband now thinks he’s like the Polish Cesar Milan. Even though our dog is still an asshole. His excuse is that Marcus has no respect for me. Full Review
The Twilight Series
There are three releases in this series so far: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. God help me, apparently there will be a fourth and probably a fifth and now I’m hoping it will be like Outlander, when I stopped caring about Jamie Fraser;s bulging Scottish loins halfway through book 4. Ugh. I have very good friends who are writers. Full Review
