In Case Of Emergency: DO NOT USE TWITTER

Caution
Friday, June 19th, 2009

Um … yeah … and this should go without saying but … if you ever find yourself in an emergency situation, like say you find yourself trapped inside of a burning building, one thing you prolly shouldn’t do as you are trying to flee the blazing inferno in order to save your life is stop so that you can post a tweet update to your Twitter profile:


LMAO! Now, I’m not sure if this sign is really for real or not but it is damn funny … and is prolly needed to remind some folks that there are more important things to consider during emergency situations than updating one’s Twitter accounts.

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Beyoncé’s new concert tour gets underway here in the US on Sunday night when she plays the first date of her I Am … Tour at Madison Square Garden in NYC … but right now we get a sneak preview at some of the photos that will appear in B’s tourbook. While the woman can look ridic sometimes, she really does look fierce most of the time:


Hahahaha … the glasses are the WORST … but I do like the photos that allude to wedding pics. They may be the only wedding pics of Beyoncé that we’ll ever get to see. I am very excited that I’m seeing B live in concert on July 13 here in LA. I will deffo be picking up one of these tourbooks … Sasha Fierce, indeed.

Britney Spears Minds The Gap

Supportin' the British economy
Friday, June 19th, 2009

Britney Spears has already made her way to Dublin, Ireland where she will be performing in concert tonight but before she left beautiful Londontown she did herself a bit of shopping with her able assistant Brett Miller in tow. I understand that Kevin Federline had the boys with him so that Britney could do a bit of shopping at the fine local British mercantiles … like Gap:


There’s a Gap on almost every corner in her native America, so perhaps Britney Spears was looking for a reminder of home as she enjoyed a shopping spree in London yesterday. The singer stopped into the chain as she took some time out of her tour schedule for a spot of retail therapy. She emerged carrying two full bags, ignoring the fact she would have had to pay more for items here than in her native United States. Jeans and T-shirts are generally cheaper across the Atlantic, but maybe Britney was taking advantage of the current exchange rate. In UK stores, women’s jeans range from £35 – £45 while in America they start around the equivalent of £29. Britney, along with a throng of photographers and fans, then moved on to Chloe on Sloane Street, and Jack Willis on Kings Road … Last night Britney’s ex husband Kevin Federline was seen taking the couple’s sons for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. The former back up-dancer agreed to come along on the tour so that the children were not separated from their mother for too long. Britney was even said to be paying him $4,000 a week to travel with her so she could be near them.

You can take the girl out of Kentwood, Louisiana but you can’t take the Gap out of the girl. You know, for all of Britney Spears’s faults the girl deffo knows how to keep it real. She ain’t perfect but she does look happy … and that is really all that matters. You enjoy this tour of Europe Britney … and enjoy all the McDonald’s restaurants and Gap stores you like :)

‘Sherlock Holmes’ Releases Two Character Movie Posters

The Dynamic Duo
Friday, June 19th, 2009

Here is our first look at two brand new movie posters for the upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed big screen adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. First up, Robert Downey, Jr. as the super sleuth himself … Sherlock Holmes:


Not too shabby, RDJ. The wispy hair looks … kinda nice. It would’ve been nice if they would’ve thrown in his trademark pipe but … all in all, a very nice poster. After the jump, check out the character poster artwork of Jude Law as Holmes’s trusty partner Dr. John Watson

‘Melrose Place’ Alum Josie Bissett Signs On For The Redux

Jane Mancini returns!
Friday, June 19th, 2009

First it was Laura Leighton, then it was Thomas Colabro and now we learn that Melrose Place album Josie Bissett has signed on to reprise her role of Jane Andrews-Mancini on the upcoming redux of the series set to debut on The CW this Fall. As some of you may recall, Jane was married to Dr. Michael Mancini (Colabro) and was older sister to Sydney Andrews (Leighton) who ended up stealing away Michael from Jane. After all these years, these dramatic characters will be thrown together again in the upcoming redux … and I can’t hardly wait!!!


Looks like Melrose Place is getting more tenants – Josie Bissett is returning to her old haunt as a guest star, PEOPLE confirms. Bissett reprises her role as Jane Andrews Mancini, sister to Laura Leighton’s Sydney Andrews, in at least one episode and may do more, according to a source. Bissett joins original Melrose castmates Leighton and Thomas Calabro when the new incarnation airs on the CW network this fall. Meanwhile Bissett’s ex-husband, Rob Estes (also a former Melrose alum), appears on the CW in 90210.

Altho Bissett will only be returning as a one-episode guest star, something is better than nothing. Fans of the original version of Melrose may remember that Heather Locklear joined the cast of MP as a mere “guest star” and she ended up becoming the HBIC star of the show. Trust me, I’m not counting on that same thing happening for Josie Bissett but … stranger things have happened. I am SOOO excited that all these old alums are coming back to the show. Surely there’s room for more old skoolers to come back … right? Daphne Zuniga, you sit by that phone girl … it could ring at any sec!

‘Up’, Up And Amazing!

The TV Guide
Friday, June 19th, 2009

David and I finally made it out of the house last night to see Up. After hearing so many good things about the film, we were both curious to see if the movie actually lives up to the hype. I’ve mentioned before … I had my doubts about WALL·E when it came out last year and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I loved it! I was hoping the same would be true for Up … and I was right:


Up has to be the most delightfully charming film that I have seen in a very long time. You can tell from the first 5 mins. of the film that it will be a truly spectacular movie. I was reticent to believe that I would fall prey to the emotional pull of the film … but it deffo grabbed a hold of my heart strings and tugged at them thruout the film. I understand it took 3 years for the story to get just right before they even animated the film … and it shows. While there are small plotholes that bothered me (eg. the age of the villain, seemed to me he should’ve been much older and less spry) the overall movie just ruled. If you haven’t seen Up yet … go see it. Do yourself a favor, spring the extra $$$ to see it in 3D … you won’t be sorry.

While we loved the film itself, the digital short that showed before the film was terrible. I didn’t like it at all … go figure.

No big plans for tonight … some errands to take care of, a haircut and prolly an iPhone upgrade. Happy weekend!
