Woody Allen's latest film,
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, might not be the return to the earlier, more beloved Allen comedies that critics continue to drool over, but it sounds like it's still worth the price of admission. The film follows two American friends, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) as they vacation together in (you guessed it) Barcelona. While there, they meet the handsome Spanish artist Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem) and his suicidal artist ex-wife, Maria Elena (Penelope Cruz) and engage in various love-triangles revolving around the Spanish stud, including a three-way that actually isn't that big of a deal. But aside from gorgeous actors and scenery, how does the film fare with critics? Pretty well, actually. Read the reviews after the jump.

The Deevil Wears Prda
Organizers for a Barack Obama event on September 9th may want to consider hiring some new interns to check over their work. The organizers
sent out invites to supporters advertising the event: "Runway to Change, with Special Guests Sarah Jessica Parker & Ann Wintour." Who? Oh, that's Anna Wintour, you know, the EIC of
Vogue and the woman who has been raising thousands of dollars for the Obama campaign in New York. But whatever, it's one little typo! We can't call them incompetent for that! Except they also misspelled the names of New York Governor David Paterson and vocal Obama supporter (and alleged emailer) Scarlett Johansson for different events. Oy. [

- Scarlett Johansson thinks the media made a big deal out of her e-mail exchanges with Barack Obama because she's female. "It seemed to me to be like a product of extreme sexism," she says. "I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney or any of the other [Obama] surrogates or supporters ... there wouldn't be [any] question about it. Nobody would even talk about it. It was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a non-story." Think she has a point? [ET]

Holy CRAP it's a slow news day. We have
People to thank for the following headline: "Scarlett Johansson Is 'Excited' to Marry a Canadian" Riveting stuff here! • Chase Crawford is a wee bit
embarrassed about this racy
Gossip Girl scenes. "I come from a moral background, and I can see the power of the show, and imagine my old school teachers cringing, or my grandparents thinking, 'Oh, my God,' when they see me, say, having sex on a barstool. But you have to remember, this is not a reality show. It's supposed to be pure entertainment." • Toni Braxton is rumored
to be on the next season of Dancing With The Stars! Just knowing that rumor is out there makes us able to
Breathe Again. [
