    Obviously, the paparrazo had bigger dreams of being a serious portrait photographer.

    Bonus if at the last minute scheduled wedding photographer can't make it and dashing paparrazo jumps in to save the day by taking 'serious' artsy wedding photos that make the wedding planner do the 'that sly dog' open laughing smile.

    I am very grateful once again that only 60 people are coming to my wedding in three weeks (!) and no media whatsoever will be there, unless you count the photographer.

    So, in the end will all the celebrities get together to surprise the celebrity wedding planner with her own secret wedding? And yes, I would see this movie.

    The bride has some sort of nervous breakdown, but the wedding planner smoothes everything between her and the groom.

    Well Bill and Hillary are supposed to be in Bermuda this weekend, but they may have left due to hurricane Bill. OMG the Clintons control the weather! Awesome.

    Hmmm... what if in this movie there is a big storm which ruins the outdoor wedding and shows uptight wedding planner that she can't control everything. While she is running around trying to save the centerpieces or something paparazzi boyfriend rushes to help her because clearly she needs to be saved. Then after they successfully move the wedding inside and it goes off flawlessly- he proposes! All single professional women just want to be married after all!

    Please tell me that in the trailer for this movie we see the wedding planner trip and fall down quite a bit to show that while she indeed is a beautiful A-list actress type person, she is also daffy and wacky and unlucky in love. The song "Love Song" plays over it all.

    @BeSarcastic: Jonathan Katz is good friends with Ted & Mary. (he's also AWESOME to the Nth degree) so whomever your "friend of a friend" source is might very well be on to something... I LIVE on Martha's Vineyard (year round- paycheck to paycheck) ... the secret service that are crawling all over the island right now are more obvious than narcs at a Dead show. (you'd think they'd try a lil' harder)... Clinton had "Midnight Farm" (Carly Simon's overpriced store) all to himself the other day... well, him and a zillion secret service men. That store has an awful lot of high end wedding appropriate gifts in it... and not much "just for guys" stuff, it's very "boutique-y." ... plus a bunch of friends that work catering gigs are booked solid the next two weekends. Yet NONE of them have been told yet where the "party" is at next weekend that they will be working. It doesn't take much to put 2+2 together. This weekend is the annual fireworks (tonight) as well as the very popular Agricultural Fair (hooray for fried dough!) ... and Obama is expected to arrive on Sunday (this coming Sunday) mid morning... but we are also expecting bad storms here... The general consensus is that it's gonna be NEXT weekend if it takes place.
    PS. I am far from exciting myself... I own a shop (till I close forever in a month... thank you economy! (grrrr)) right in the heart of town and manage to pick up more island gossip that you could imagine -whether I want to or not.

    @BeSarcastic: for whatever it's worth.... Michelle & their daughters are already here on island. Tiger Woods is expected here this week (golf is a big deal on this island among summer peeps... I say "blech!") and rumor is he is here to play Obama. Others have said Oprah is expected... and a few other "celebrities" whose names I have forgotten at this late hour ... but all signs point to one hell of a shindig.
    As for my shop, thank you for the well wishes, but I really am happy about closing. I did my very best for three straight years, went up against more bull@hit than most (including a (now former) business partner that ran away with his boyfriend and left me eternally in debt) but, again, I did my absolute best.. so I'm satisfied with that knowledge. Now maybe I can go find a job that I actually get paid at!

    I liked Funny People. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but I liked it.
    It seems like a lot of guys were really disappointed by it (particularly the amount of time it spends with Leslie Mann) and I've started to wonder if its just a basic disinterest in women that makes the movie so unpalatable to them.
    Partly I think that Funny People isn't quite what people expect from Judd Apatow. The second half of the movie isn’t as funny as the first half, but a lot of the first half is just random jokes. You don’t really learn that much about what makes the Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, and Audrey Plaza characters tick. I’ve heard guys say that they really preferred the Seth Rogan love story to the Leslie Mann love story, but the girl in the Seth Rogan story is just there, she isn’t really a fully drawn character. Which is fine, it isn’t a romcom about Seth Rogan’s character, but its hardly a story that stands out as romantic.

    Wow this guy is short sighted and arrogant.
    Chick Flicks are cheap to make and often do quite well at the box office. Having guys (the only worthwhile consumers after all) wait with baited breath for a trailer is all well and good, but often those big movies don't have great returns. I have a feeling The Proposal actually made back a greater percentage of its costs than Terminator. And most of those big action flicks aren't exactly groundbreaking plotwise.
    This guy thinks his tastes are everyone's tastes, which makes him an arrogant idiot.

    I'm kind of confused as to what constitutes a chick flick. Is it a rom-com or is it a female-centric movie? Is 500 Days of Summer a chick flick? Is Fried Green Tomatoes?
