Woot! I’m still pretty geeked on my big news … but with a looming move in the coming weeks, I’m also a bit stressed out too. I’m researching movers to help lessen the stress … I really, really hate moving so I’m trying to find a company that will do it all for me, which is the only way to move. I’ve found a couple of really good potential candidates but if any of y’all have any suggestions, please pass them along. I met with the real estate dude yesterday to drop off my checks for the new place so … come Feb. 1, it’s gonna be ours :)

To celebrate, I met up with Jim for dinner and movie last night but because of time constraints it turned out to be movie and then dinner. First up, we made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood to see The Wrestler:

Because I am a huge Darren Aronofsky fan, I have been really anxious to see this film for weeks now. Watching Mickey Rourke win the Golden Globe for his performance in the film put me over the edge, I had to see it as soon as possible. Man, what an amazing and powerful film. The stark realism in the movie was just really sad from beginning to end but the movie never takes the emotional exploitation too far. The film is a great commentary on how rough life can be for some people and even tho there seems to be no hope left, simple pleasures can make all the difference in the world. You empathize with Rourke‘s character, no doubt, but I felt such an affinity for Marisa Tomei‘s character as well. I’m shocked she isn’t gettin’ as much love from the critics … she really goes all out for her role and turns in an impeccable performance. She really is the unsung hero of this film. But Mickey Rourke, my gods, he really turns it on in this film … his performance is nothing short of powerful. He will deffo be a contender come Oscar time.

Much love goes out to the very able staff at the ArcLight … my dumbass left my wallet at the concession stand they took care of it for me. I freaked out when I realized I didn’t have my wallet (after the movie was over) and was relieved to know that they had it for me, safe and sound. I saw Kate Bosworth in the lobby with some friends but I was so freaked out about my wallet, I barely paid attention.

After the movie, Jim and I went to Birds for a late dinner and a couple of beers. While we were eating, Brea Grant who plays Daphne (Hiro‘s “nemesis” with superspeed) came over to our table to compliment me on Pink is the new Blog. It was very sweet of her to say hello and I’m sending my love out to her today.

Tonight, Darion, Kirsten and I are finally getting together to watch the Dollhouse screener I got last week … we are all very excited :)

OK … I think I finally got it straight — On Friday we got word that Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood were dunzo … then on Saturday, we got a denial from ERW herself that the pair split — implying that they were still together but, on a “break”. Today all that confusion is cleared up as ERW clarifies that YES the couple are no longer together but NO they did not break up because of a tiff over her brother (as was first reported in the initial break-up report) or because he was “emotionally abusive”. So now the pissy tone of her official statement to People magazine on Saturday makes sense … she is upset that the couple are no longer together. She spoke to US Weekly and proclaimed that she will always “love” and “respect” Marilyn Manson despite the fact that they are no longer together. She also goes on to clarify that she is not dating her co-star Mickey Rourke either (spread the word). Here are a couple pics of ERW lookin’ an awful lot like a cheap imitation of MM‘s ex-wife Dita von Teese at the AFI Fest screening of her movie The Wrestler (which co-stars Rourke) at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre late last week:

Despite splitting with Marilyn Manson, Evan Rachel Wood says the rocker still holds a place in her heart. “I’m always going to love him and respect him,” she told Usmagazine.com Sunday at Hollywood Life’s Behind the Camera Awards in Hollywood. Asked how she is feeling, she told reporters, “I’m doing fine, you know, as best as can be expected.” She denied reports that they called it quits after Manson kicked her brother Ira out of his guest house. “You know, it’s not the nasty thing everybody thinks it is,” she said. “We’ve both got incredible things going on right now. He’s making an amazing album – I’ve heard some of it, and he should be very proud of it. You know, I’ve got [the upcoming drama] The Wrestler going on, and I’m focusing on that,” she added. Of the split, she said, “It’s not a bad thing. It’s life – it happens. But now, it’s like the story that comes right after the breakup [is]: Who am I dating now?” she said. “So right now, I’m just enjoying being on my own. It’s just not in the cards right now.” She denied reports that she is romancing Mickey Rourke, her co-star in The Wrestler. “Everybody thinks we’re dating, and we’re not. Spread the word – I’m not dating Mickey Rourke!” she said. “You know, we developed a close friendship. He’s a great guy, a talented guy. He’s been through it all, and [we had] such intense shoots, I think, because we played father and daughter [in The Wrestler]. I think he’s just kind of trying to take me under his wing.

OY! I’m so glad all of this nonsense has been straightened up. Despite the fact that she sounds like she is still pining for her lost relationship with MM, I think it’s best that she stay away from much older men … at least for a little while. I really hope she’s not getting involved with Mikey Rourke … he is like the ungoth but just as crazy version of Marilyn Manson. ERW is such an amazing actress … it’s a shame to see her running after the crazy sort of guys that she is so attracted to. I doubt that dressing like Dita von Teese is going to win back Mr. Manson … hello, he divorced her, remember? In any event, I wish her luck … with her taste in men, she’s prolly gonna need it.
