@Ailatan: Of course, Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey were in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (along with two other greats Jonny Greenwood and Phil Selway).
"The source was last spotted running down the street screaming, "It's true! Now stay away from Bella! You're ruining everything! Team Edwaarrrrddd!" Not really. But maybe?"
Made of win, sprinkled liberally with awesomesauce.
"These movies, these so-called "popcorn movies," or "family movies," actually provide something quite beautiful and something quite necessary — which is a family bonding experience. So God bless the popcorn film."
Too bad my family's just not that in to Bangkok Dangerous.
Why are the tabloids so invested in Taylor squared? They've been dating, for what, a couple of months and they are both still in their teens. They are obviously not about to get married. Give it a rest.
I really have no sympathy for him. I have sympathy for Britney Spears because photographers would surround her car so she couldn't drive and sue her when she ran over their feet, all while having a mental crisis. I have sympathy for stars who's babies have cameras shoved in their strollers. I have no sympathy for people who are having their pictures taken at their movie premiers. None.
@curiousgeorgiana: I don't know. I've got sympathy for anyone who has people shouting "you're so boring" at them. Seems like a legitimate thing to be irritated by.
@Snowbunny: In his defense, Twilight wasn't as huge as it is now when he signed on. He didn't really know what he was in for. I feel sympathy for anyone who can't leave his hotel room or has to walk around in disguise because thousands of teenage girls are stalking him. Once he got hit by a car because of them! Given the choice of paparazzi or lovesick teenagers, I'd pick paparazzi.
@madeofawesome: It wasn't as monstrously massive, true, but it still had quite a large following. He also did a Harry Potter movie. I love these movies, don't get me wrong, but when you sign on for a franchise popular with teens and pre-teens, certain insanities are expected.
Pattinson will be a great Bel Ami! He does the stupid pretty boy really well, he'll rock the 19th century moustache and sideburns.
On the other hand, anything Scott Thomas does gets my applause, so I may be overreacting;
@electricbubbles: Not only that, he has 4 middle names: Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel.
My job thought I didn't have a middle name or a last name when I first started. We have acronyms for when people don't have a name. So I was just Katie NMN NLN. It was kinda cool.

@msmoneypenny: I initially thought he was saying that because of the paparazzi and magazines he gets in trouble. That whenever he dates all these lies are said and so forth, I didn't think he was saying that the women are the ones causing it. But after reading your comment I went and read the article and yah, I guess he is more blaming the women.
@msmoneypenny: I can't tell if he's talking about the actual relationships or press coverage of the relationships. Either way, it's a bit too "pity me! pity me!" for my tastes.
@Elaken: Actually, I didn't even follow the link. You're right, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, but in this case my spidey sense was correct. John Mayer has always come across as especially full of himself and that's probably why I assumed. Perhaps Gabourey Sidibe could teach him how to be real and endearing in an interview.
@yvanehtnioj: Yeah, bingo. I don't have much patience for waaah life is hard, especially by a white male "sensitive" ROCKSTAR. You know, I've got my own challenges as does everyone, but damn after reading one after the other horrible news stories this month, I'm awfully thankful for what it going well in my life. Yeah, not all super rich or famous people have charmed, easy lives, but I doubt Mr. Mayer has it that badly.
I read the Brad Pitt item as though he were fighting off Asians in the Bermuda triangle. I was confused, and then I read it again. Maybe I should go back to bed.
@morninggloria: Maybe its some sort of conspiracy theory movie about a lost Japanese super weapon from WWII that has been causing the Bermuda Triangle.
as much as vicki's situation is common sense, it would be far more attractive if she wasn't so bloody sanctimonious about it.
working hard isn't bad. working smart isn't bad, either. it's sad that jeana's spending habits got the best of her...it's hard to argue with the whole real estate commission income. working for less amount of time and making the same cash as vicki would be great if you didn't blow it all at nordstrom's in one day.
as much as dr. phil annoys me, on a weekly basis i find myself saying "the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior". the more you know! *starburst*
Excellent point. It was really sleazy for Vicki to announce on national T.V. that Jenna had asked for money and to carry on like she had been physically assaulted.
I am kind of in Vicki's situation: I work very long hours and I earn a lot of money for my effort.
I had friends who were very irresponsible with their money and asked me to "borrow" money. I never got paid back and every single one of those friendships ended. Which was exactly Vicki's point.
I've reached the point where I purposefully avoid friendships with fiscally irresponsible people because I know they may come calling for money.
I still give money to my siblings who are hard up but even that is frustrating because I watch every dollar and don't afford myself many luxuries and then the money goes sailing out the window anyway to pay for my fiscally irresponsible siblings who have kids to feed. It makes me feel very imbalanced.
@Zira: borrowing money between friends is always a bad idea. i'm still waiting to be repaid from some friends, and i'm no moneybags over here.
what annoys me the most are friends who hide their fiscal irresponsibility and leave out the really important details of why they really need that check from their parents every month when they're over 30, divorced, employed with a decent job, charging everything to their credit card, sold their house in boom times and are living in a one bedroom apartment with a dog and a car that their parents are keeping for them. like, wtf. what gives.
I know countless people who are still getting handouts from their parents as adults. In fact my daughter lives in a rental building in New York where almost everyone she has met is a college graduate whose parents are paying their rent into their thirties and beyond.
These same people are in for a hard reality check once their parents are gone.
From what I've seen a lot of married couples wipe out their savings to make every opportunity available for their young ones (twelve years of private school, followed by an even more expensive private college, cars, trips and more).
Without any savings these people are going to be seriously screwed when there's no social security or medicaire when they are too old to work.
