yes please

ryan_reynolds_profilefinally! a reason to blog about ryan reynolds. i may or may not have a massive celeb crush on him. but besides all that, i’m happy to report that he and anna faris are reuniting in a new comedy! these two, who were hysterically matched in ‘just friends,’ will star together in a movie all about the good & bad of honesty in a relationship.

sometimes too much information can be a bad thing, the movie seeks to show us. entitled ‘tmi,’ ryan and anna will star as the leads in the universal pictures-developed film. after a few box office duds, universal is trying its hand with this sure-fire duo to prove the studio still has it in ‘em. with ryan on board, chances are it will be a good one. we want them to make a film that we enjoy as much as we enjoy going out with our friends or playing popular bingo games or going on a great date. we want it to be so good we’ll watch it time and time again and be able to get a great ryan fix each time.

i think i speak for all of us when i say, hurry up, universal! we want to see this movie and SOON.

the claws are out

cougarslideri think abc just found themselves in a bit of hot hypocrite water! heard of their new comedy ‘cougar town‘ starring courteney cox arquette? the show follows cox as a recently divorced single mother as she “explores the honest truths about dating and aging in a beauty and youth-obsessed culture”. the premiere was actually pretty darn funny, if you ask me! totally unrealistic of course, but funny.

anyway, apparently the dating website cougarlife.com saw the opportunity for a chance at a similar audience, and approached abc to run a commerical during ‘cougar town’s’ premiere. self-proclaimed cougar claudia openkelder runs the website, and was thrilled at the chance to advertise. while originally there was some debate about whether or not to air the commercial (see it in all of its glory, below), abc decided to move forward with the deal.

until… they pulled the plug last-minute! apparently they decided they no longer felt it was “appropriate” to promote a site for cougars. but yet they can air an entire show about them? claudia over at cougarlife.com was none too pleased and naturally released a statement:

“it appears the executives at abc seem a little too insecure to allow the notion of real world cougars to exist anywhere other than in the realm of fiction.”

BAM, cougar-lady!

couples retreat

this one sounds too good to be true. vince vaughn? jason bateman? and those are just two of the hysterical 8-person cast for the upcoming flick ‘couples retreat.’ due in theaters october 9th, the comedy follows four midwestern couples who take off to a tropical island resort. little do they know, participation in the resort’s couples therapy is not optional.

vince vaughn championed the idea of following four very different couples through very real-life (but funny) problems faced by couples across the world. also starring is ‘sex and the city’s’ kristin davis, faizon love, kristen bell and newcomer malin akerman. while one of the couple’s was there to really give their marriage a much-needed face-lift, the other three just went for the awesome group rate. so, you can imagine the hilarity that ensues.

plus, anything vince vaughn & jason bateman do is golden. the tagline? ‘it may be paradise, but it’s no vacation.’ check out the trailer above.
