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.

to sum it up

January 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

the 3-hour presentation of the 67th annual golden globes came & went this past sunday night. and it was a pretty good night!

host ricky gervais was as awkward and wonderful as ever: “i recently just had a penis reduction. now i just have the one” (instead of two??) oh, ricky. to see the winners… well, at least the ones YOU care about… scroll down to the bottom for the full list!

and now, for some fashion.

the red carpet was all about the purple! which, of course, i thoroughly enjoyed. sandra bullock (in bottega venetta), leona lewis (in roberto cavalli), rose byrne (in lanvin), fergie (in elie saab) & jane krakowski (in j. mendel) all represented the color of royalty with beauty & grace.

*                *               *

on to the best & worst! jennifer aniston threw on this valentino gown, looking effortless and as gorgeous as ever. but it was truly the young hollywood crowd that took over my best picks. dianna agron, star of the tv show “glee” looked stunning in reem acra. perfect, perfect, perfect.

“avatar” star zoe saldana picked her louis vuitton dress no doubt for the color – the plum looks dazzling on her skin tone! actress camilla belle showed us exactly how to do the short dress in her giorgio armani piece… rarely do i like the short length for awards’ nights, but this is ravishing.

wrapping up my top 5 is another “glee” cast member – lea michele. her oscar de la renta gown was my absolute favorite of the evening. she’s got it down!

now brace yourself, it’s about to get bad. these ladies were pure disappointment. mariah carey brought some golden globes of her own, the poor gal. put those darn things away! and heidi klum – who we rarely see on the “worst dressed” list, is getting panned for her bizarre barbie-esque number.

90210 starlet annalynne mccord’s dress? she swung and missed with this grecian gown… it looks as if there’s a bit too much “cupping” going on up there. not flattering. funny lady tina fey chose a zac posen ensemble… with the ever-so-ugly calf-length flare.

christina aguilera walked the red carpet as a presenter with her “burlesque” co-star, cher. her peach versace gown had promise – until of course the metallic bodice took over. so close, christina!

her musical chops

September 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

she can sing! actress jennifer aniston appeared on ‘the ellen degeneres show’ today to promote her latest flick, ‘love happens.’ after some chitty chatting, ellen inquires about jen’s upcoming project called ‘the goree girls,’ which calls for aniston to sing. ellen coaxes the lovely lady to serenade the audience, and she obliges with a sultry rendition of ‘i’ve got a crush on you.’ pretty good if you ask me! check out the clip above.

‘the goree girls’ is based on the book by john lee hancock which centers around the true-life story of eight female inmates who form a country bank in texas back in the 1940′s. aniston is set to produce and star in the film, with michael sucsy (‘grey gardens’) directing. this should definitely be interesting, as we have rarely seen aniston in anything outside of romantic comedies.

director sucsy says of the flick:

“these women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments. they weren’t these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together. that’s what’s interesting about it. it’s not just like, ‘hey, you can play the guitar, i can play the piano, i can play the harmonica. let’s put a band together.’ it’s like, ‘we have to get out of jail, and if we have to put a band together to do that, then that’s what we’re going to do.’ “

jennifer will also have to learn to play the dobro (a guitar) for her starring role. sucsy plans on casting real musicians to play alongside aniston. ‘the goree girls’ is due out sometime late next year.

making it rain

forbes magazine just published their annual celebrity 100 list, which catalogs hollywood’s top-earning actresses among other things. the mag generated the list based off of info from agents, managers, producers & laywers to determine what these leading ladies have earned over the course of the year. of course they get big paychecks up front for their movie roles, but you can’t forget back-end bonuses for big box office hits.

angelina jolie tops the list, with jennifer aniston close behind. angie came in big from her role in ‘wanted’, which grossed $341 million worldwide. she also got a fatty paycheck for her upcoming spy thriller ‘salt.’

aniston’s ‘marley & me’ knocked her on up to the number two spot, as the family flick is still making a killing in the box office & on dvd sales. jennifer also gets plenty of residual money for her role as rachel in the tv series ‘friends.’ syndication dollars, anyone? here is a list of the rest of the ladies, with oscar winner kate winslet rounding out the top 15.

1 - Angelina Jolie, $27 million
2 – Jennifer Aniston, $25 million
3 – Meryl Streep, $24 million
4 – Sarah Jessica Parker, $23 million
5 – Cameron Diaz, $20 million
6 – Sandra Bullock, $15 million
6 – Reese Witherspoon, $15 million
8 – Nicole Kidman, $12 million
8 – Drew Barrymore, $12 million
10 – Renee Zellweger, $10 million
11 – Cate Blanchett, $8 million
12 – Anne Hathaway, $7 million
12 – Halle Berry, $7 million
14 – Scarlett Johansson, $5.5 million
15 – Kate Winslet, $2 million

here’s the biggest shocker, though. apparently there is quite a big difference between the earning of the top 10 actresses and the top 10 actors. the top 10 actresses earned $183 million, compared with $393 million for the top 10 actors. that’s a pretty significant gap! i wonder why?

my favorite ‘friend’

June 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

jenniferansitonwhat do you do when your whole life’s on camera? well, poking a little fun at yourself couldn’t hurt. the old make ‘em laugh with you & not at you. so when jennifer aniston accepted the crystal award at the women in film awards this past friday night, that’s exactly what she did. gots to give her props, too, because her speech was pretty darn funny.

the award – for excellence in film – is a moment of pride for aniston, as she thanks fans for supporting her in her transition from tv to film. “it’s funny,” she starts off, “i kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies i was doing and my life off screen. “it started with, well, ‘the good girl’ then that evolved into ‘rumor has it’, followed by ‘derailed’, and then there was ‘the break-up’. and then on the lighter side was ‘friends with money’, which i felt was a bit on the nose.”

of course, that got the audience going quite a bit. but the elephant in the room left to be discussed was her ongoing romance troubles. but she wasn’t about to pass up that joke. ”…and if anyone has a movie called ‘everlasting love with an adult stable man…i’m at table six, and my agents are at table 12.”

but see, that’s why we love her. she’s cute, funny, and very very real. so congrats to jen for the award and for her success in the biz.
