julianne hough: “so wrong” for CMT?

December 22, 2010 By 1 Comment

dancing with the stars alum julianne hough is trying her hand in the music industry… but don’t worry, she’s not abandoning her dancing roots just yet!

check out her music video for “is that so wrong,” above. do you notice anything different about it? YES, you spotted it. pirouettes, flips, splits, arabesques and pointy toes. is she trying to score a perfect 10 from the judges or something?

the video debuted amidst rumors that CMT has banned the it due to its racy nature (lingerie bed-writhing). CMT counters that they’re just working out some contractual issues and it’ll be up and running. riiiiiight.

in my opinion, her naughty night escapades are not the issue. it’s the fact that she’s fusing her classically-trained dance moves in the middle of a music video (see minute 1:40, for example). just awkward. but maybe it’s just me?

coming soon: water for elephants

December 15, 2010 By 2 Comments

i’m a sucker for a period film. and also for reese, robert & christoph.

today we were given a sneak peek at the trio’s next film, water for elephants. check out the trailer above! the film stars robert pattinson as a veterinary student who, after the death of his parents, joins a traveling circus.

set in the world of glitter, majesty and intrigue, jacob (pattinson) falls in love with the circus’ star performer, marlena (reese witherspoon). the two fall in love over their compassion for a special elephant.

marlena’s charismatic but dangerous husband – the incredible christoph waltz – of course poses quite the problem. and have you heard? christoph is one of the best actors there is. it’s bound to be good, then!

based on the best-selling book of the same name, water for elephants hits theaters april 15, 2011. will YOU make plans to see it?

bridalplasty… is this for real?

November 26, 2010 By 1 Comment

this has GOT to be a joke.

another horrific example of taking reality TV to the next level. the E! channel is prepping for the premiere of their next disaster of a show, bridalplasty.

“brides-to-be compete in challenges to earn plastic-surgery procedures in a quest to win their ultimate dream wedding.”

yup, you read that right. E! will be moving 12 brides into a mansion to compete for nips, tucks, stretches and pulls to help “look their best” before their big day. because, you know, that’s what it’s all about, right? each bride will meet with a plastic surgeon before the competition begins to write up their procedure “wish list.”

when she wins a round, she gets to go under the knife for anything from botox to breast implants to a tummy tuck or whatever else the lady desires. bridalplasty premieres on sunday, november 28th at 9:00pm. will YOU be tuning in?

a Royal Wedding: william & kate are engaged!

November 16, 2010 By 1 Comment

prince william & kate middleton are engaged! did you hear that? that was the sound of millions of girls’ dreams of becoming a princess wooshing out the window!

second-in-line to the british throne, prince william has put to rest all the engagement rumors with the truth during a press conference you can check out above.

WOW, could you imagine that many cameras?

they are absolutely precious. the prince gave his soon-to-be princess his mother diana‘s engagement ring. “it’s every special to me, and kate’s very special to me, so it was only right to put the two together,” he said.

together since 2003, the royal couple released the following statement:

“prince william and miss middleton became engaged in october during a private holiday in kenya. prince william has informed the queen and other close members of his family. prince william has also sought the permission of miss middleton’s father. following the marriage, the couple will live in north wales, where prince william will continue to serve with the royal air force.”

how romantic! the wedding is speculated to take plan in the summer of 2011 in london. questions are already pouring in on how it will compare to prince charles & diana’s, which is said to be the most-watched wedding of all time. some 600,000 people crowded the streets of london hoping to catch a glimpse, while an estimated global audience of 750 million tuned in on television.

looks like these two have some planning to do!

michael jackson’s new music controversy

November 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

i’m not even going to pretend i was michael jackson‘s biggest fan. but i can’t deny that it feels really great to hear his voice again!

he’s just so iconic!

press play above to hear hold my hand, a duet sung with rapper/producer akon. the new single will be featured on MJ’s upcoming posthumous album, michael, to be released on december 14th.

“this life don’t last forever, so tell me what we’re waiting for,” jackson sings. “we’re better off being together, than being miserable alone.”

black-eyed peas frontman will.i.am recently spoke up about the release of MJ’s tracks, saying “michael jackson songs are finished when michael says they’re finished.” to go public with them now, he says, is “disrespectful.”

i’m inclined to agree. as much as we want more of MJ, history would tell us he wouldn’t have been too happy about this.

country “wrong”

November 10, 2010 By 1 Comment

i never thought i’d see the day that gwyneth paltrow would play a country music star.

well, it’s here! gwynnie’s country strong will hit theaters just in time for Christmas movie goers (december 22nd).

the movie centers on a once-famous country star who attempts to reclaim her career with a resurrection tour after a severe bout with alcoholism. also starring are tim mcgraw as the husband/manager and gossip girl leighton meester as an up-and-comer who starts to steal the spotlight from paltrow’s character.

i’m just not a fan of the trailer. it may surprise me, but this seems a bit too similar to walk the line to really “wow” me. plus, i just can’t get into gwyneth as a country star… it’s just not believable.

what do YOU think?

just goin’ with it

November 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment



this is looking like a good one!

adam sandler and the beautiful ladies jennifer aniston & brooklyn decker co-star in just go with it, a hilarious take on trying to snag that special someone.  sandler’s character has long pretended to be in a troublesome marriage in order to swing one-night stands with unsuspecting beauties.

when mrs. right comes along (brooklyn), he was caught in the lie and now coerces co-worker aniston to pretend to be his wife, whom he says he’s divorcing. and then hilarity ensues.

besides supermodel brooklyn’s semi-awkward acting, i think this might be a real winner! just go with it comes to theaters february 11th.
