Merry Christmas!

It only seems tradition that one must annually watch the classic film, "A Christmas Story". Have a laugh, remember the good lines and eat your weight in food. It's the holidays, people, step back and relax. Enjoy!

OMG, OMG, OMG: SATC 2 - Trailer!

Like every other shoe-a-holic and fashion-a-holic lady in the world, I am dying to see the next "Sex and the City 2" movie. From what I gather, it's the cast regulars and a couple of guest stars such as Miley Cyrus, Penelope Cruz, and the ever-so-fabulous and iconic, Liza Minelli. What? True story! There are also some other actors who aren't so common here in the states. I know of this bloke, Raza Jaffrey who plays the character, Hari, from the british drama, "Mistresses", of which I am massively obsessed with. I honestly don't know who this guy is, Alexander Wraith but he looks pretty smoking and he's in the trailer. And let's just add in another brit, Max Ryan who seems to be all over the place and has a bit of a reckless nature to him.

So, without further ado, please enjoy the clip!

Lazy Sunday & Cable TV

It was a very chillaxing day for me much to the chagrin of a glycolic peel that went awry. I opted to stay indoors away from the sun and public eye and kicked it with some cable TV. I pretty much didn't change the channel and left it on USA all day long. Watching romantic comedy after romantic comedy, my love session began with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". With the lovely Kate Hudson and the magnificent looking Matthew McConaughey, this cute story keeps you entertained with the help of a supporting cast of girls (Kathryn Hahn and Annie Parisse) and guys (Adam Goldberg and "Reno 911's!" Thomas Lennon).



And then we traveled down south for the very cute (and one of my faves!), "Sweet Home Alabama". I'll admit, I pretty much like anything that Reese Witherspoon is in. And the same goes for Josh Lucas. I absolutely love the fabulous Nathan Lee Graham. Perhaps you remember him from "Zoolander" or "Hitch". And of course, how could we forget McDreamy's Patrick Dempsey. I just realized that there was a little mini reunion for McDreamy and another supporting cast member, Courtney Gains as they were both in the classic film of the 80's, "Can't Buy Me Love".



And I'm wrapping up the night and signing off with one of the cutest films, "Enchanted" with once again, the really-really-good-looking Patrick Dempsey and the incredibly talented, Amy Adams. I could watch this film over and over - it's funny for all ages which makes it even better. Susan Sarandon plays an evil witch and James Marsden plays the dashing Prince Charming. I've even become obsessed with the soundtrack!



Long live lazy Sundays...!

Sad News: Actress Brittany Murphy Dies

It was announced by TMZ this morning that actress Brittany Murphy died this morning due to cardiac arrest. She was only 32 years old. So sad as it makes you realize how precious and short life is. We will always remember her as the lovable Tai in "Clueless", Daisy in "Girl, Interruped", and the voice of Luanne Platter that has graced the show, "King of the Hill", for 12 years.

Another Fave Holiday Flick

Well, it will never take the place of "Love Actually", but I do really enjoy this amazingly casted film, "The Family Stone". I mean, where to begin? From Woody Allen's muse, Diane Keaton to "Coach's" Craig T. Nelson to SJP and Dermot Mulroney. Oh hell, the list goes on, allow me - Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson, Claire Danes, Brian J. White, Tyrone Giordano, and "New Moon's" Elizabeth Reaser. This is such a touching, lovely story directed by Thomas Bezucha. Once again...enjoy!

Go See: "Did You Hear About The Morgans?"

Tonight I caught a screening of "Did You Hear About The Morgans?", thanks to LA Magazine, starring the hilarious bloke Hugh Grant and the lovely, fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker. People to watch: of course, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss (who recently just married SNL's actor Fred Armisen) and newcomer Jesse Liebman. It was a cute but typical romantic comedy set in New York and Wyoming. I would say that ol' Quaker Oats man, Wilford Brimley nearly stole the show. Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen are great as the supporting couple who assist the Morgans in their witness protection program. And if you blinked, you may have missed 30 Rock's character "Dot Com" as played by Kevin Brown, who still plays a bodyguard type. It's a feel-good formulaic comedy that has some genuinely funny moments. Enjoy!!
