James McAvoy resurfaces in public at last! How glad I am that I pretended I had time this morning in between work tasks to come here and read this post. Thank you for this piece of evidence that somewhere outside the office where I lately spend at least six days a week, a happier, sexier world may exist.

In other good news for fans of the entire McAvoy-Duff household, I saw the trailer for the coming Michael Caine movie Is Anybody There? over the weekend, and Anne-Marie Duff is featured in it rather prominently! As a major Shameless fan who wishes AMD would get some attention Stateside based on her considerable merits rather than whose wife she is, I am rather stoked, especially since the movie looks quite good.

Note to self: Must imDb the rest of these people later, on the off chance they are similarly undiscovered gems of the British acting world.

@MockMyWorld: May I say that you, madam, have excellent taste? Because you do. Thoroughly commendable.

**Beams happily, goes to hunt out the Is Anybody There trailer.**

@ASmallTurnip: Right back atcha, madam! I thoroughly enjoyed your McAvoy anecdote above. It completely supports my idealized notion of him as an irrepressible gentleman who, though madly in love with a woman who is his equal in talent, cannot HELP holding doors for the rest of us. ;)

How are these hot twins not on my radar? Thanks for providing me some new obsessions.

Also, Sadie: Why, why, for the love of God, why tempt me with a thumbnail of James McAvoy and then deny me a full body shot? Why?

Is it something personal? Have I hurt you in some way? Can I make it up to you with cookies?

Ok, fine, Sadie, you got me, and I will make one, single concession:

If that is what all jumpsuits will look like, and what I will look like in one, then they are not an altogether bad thing.

Otherwise, in my rule book, this is the exception which proves the strict no-jumpsuits rule.

I was once invited as a guest to a gala dinner at London's Grosvenor House. As it was for bankers, there were perhaps a few dozen women to the vast majority of male diners. How we women laughed when we swanned past the long queues of men waiting outside the Gents, whilst we waltzed quickly in and out of the near empty Ladies' loos. Now you know how we usually feel, we jeered in passing.

I WILL NOT HEAR A WORD SAID AGAINST ANNE-MARIE DUFF. She is marvellous in all possible ways. If you are seeing something odd going on with her foundation, it is simply your eyes. Or your computer screen. Or my fist in your face.

Thank you. I love her, and intend to become her best friend one day and no that's not creepy at all WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?

Is Will Poulter holding a friend's purse or is that his? If so, what would a boy his age keep in his purse for an event?

Matchbox cars, comic books?

Okay, so how is it on a world where Olga Kurylenko exists and has a history of doing action films, that Scarlett Johanssen is playing the Russian superspy, The Black Widow, in Iron Man 2 and not her? Especially when cost-cutting endangers the whole thing and she's definitely going to be cheaper. Oh, that's right. Boobs.

@Macloserboy: Yuup, got it in one. Also, my boyfriend (and myself, actually) wants to know why the arguably, raciest scene of Scarlett Johanssen's career is in a chick flick, i.e. He's Just Not That Into You*?

*Yes I saw it. Yes I hated it. Yes, it was against my will.

@Beat Girl [formerly Miss Carrie Nation]: The scene in Match Point is just your regular, common or garden passionate-snog-in-rain.

In HJNTIY, she's about to be bent over a desk and she gets mauled by Bradley Cooper. Bewbs ahoy.

The boyfriend, who doesn't even like ScarJo, btw, shall we say, ''enjoyed '' it.

were these people unprepared for the weather? they dressed up in sleeveless numbers and then said, wait, get me a jacket! so their assistants lent them their ill-fitting, too long, inappropriate outerwear?

Sadie, you and I are just never going to agree on this jumpsuit thing. We are going to be sitting in the Rest Home for Retired Jezebels 60 years from now, and you are going to say "REMEMBER BACK IN OUGHT-NINE WHEN I SAID SOMEONE LOOKED OKAY IN A JUMPSUIT?" and I will be like "NO THE JUMPSUIT WAS NOT OKAY, PASS ME MY PRUNES." Then we will disapprove of one anothers' housedresses and yell at the TV.

@tscheese: Though I technically agree with you on this -- as on so many matters! -- I think that this one jumpsuit, on this one lady, is lovely. That, however, does not (or should not!) a fashion trend make. Now get off my lawn!

@neatgrl: Wow! That was kinda snazzy how you told that tale! I've got a whole screenplay in my head right now!
