Thanksgiving Weekend Movie Showdown
"Thanksgiving weekend at the box office is one of the highest grossing weekends of the year for the American film industry."
So, what exactly is the Thanksgiving weekend? Well, it's simply like it sounds, but it's not just the weekend it's actually four days long (usually). In this year's case, it was the four days spanning from Thursday (November 25) to Sunday (November 28). This year, six movies were released on the Thanksgiving weekend. Two of those six were released on Black Friday.
The first four movies that were released on Wednesday, November 24th included Tangled, Burlesque, Faster, and my personal more anticipated one of the four - Love and Other Drugs.
The other two movies that came out on Black Friday are Red Dawn and The King's Speech.
As I mentioned above, the one I am looking forward to watching out of all these is Love and Other Drugs. So, instead of describing and going into detail for every one of these movies, I will talk more specifically about Love and Other Drugs. Love and Other Drugs is a romantic comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway plays Maggie, a free-spirited girl who is the type to not let anything or more specifically, ANYONE tie her down. However, that all changes when she meets Jaime (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) whose charming personality works well with the ladies and the world of pharmaceutical sales as well. As the movie's title entails: "Maggie and Jaime's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they both find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug - LOVE."
If that wasn't enough to make you want to watch the movie, then here's a trailer of the movie. Watch the trailer and go with a date or with some friends! What's more fun than a cute movie date or a girls' night out!
Anyways, here's the trailer - enjoy! :)
On a little bit of a personal note, I have been dying to see this movie since it started showing the trailers in commercials weeks and weeks ago. However, even though it has already been released, I have been so busy with everything that I haven't had time to go watch it. Many of my friends want to see it too, so I'm sure we can all just go as a big group and hopefully it's as good as I'm expecting it!
Glee Sectionals Next Week
Glee will reach a new milestone, the Sectionals, next week. New Directions heads to the big Sectionals competition to go head-to-head against the Warblers and the Hipsters. Kurt, so smitten by Blaine, has transferred to Warblers and the club is replacing him with a new girl.
In this competition, the Warblers will be performing "Hey Soul Sister" while the Hipsters will be performing "The Living Years." New Directions will do two songs, "The Time of My Life" which is a duet by Quinn and Sam, as well as "Valerie" which is a solo by Santana. There's another song which has been confirmed to appear in the episode, Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over".
Also in the episode called "Special Education", while trouble brews between some of the young couples, Emma and Carl grow closer. Darren Criss (Blaine) who has just been made a regular, will return in this November 30 episode.
She sure has a thing for the closet-cases pretty boys!
Rachel Bilson was spotted out to dinner in NYC with Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford!
A source reveals:
“The two arrived together. There was lots of flirting going on between the two of them; the attraction was obvious. They kept giggling. It was very sweet.”
The two even left together, and were seen out partying later that night!
Interesting!
We won't hold our breath, though. Rachel is just probably trying to finagle her way onto his show!
Girl needs a serious comeback!
Little J to Stay
Guess we're still stuck with Little J!
Although reports broke this morning that Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen had been suspended from the series indefinitely, sources with the CW series are now shooting down speculation that it's due to her out-of-control behavior, and maintain that Jenny Humphrey will continue on the series - just right not now!
The insider reveals:
"Jenny isn't in college like everyone else, so it's hard to weave her into the central storylines. We don't want to just bring her in to hang out at the breakfast table with Lily and Rufus and say a line or two—we want a reason to have her there. Everyone likes her. Her absence really is driven by the story. Anything else is speculative."
The sources also confirm that the actress is contracted through season seven, and that she's currently happy to have a break and focus on her music career!
Fair enough, I suppose! I actually like girlfriend’s tunes much more than her obnoxious character, so hopefully by the time she's ready to be written back in they will have taken Little J in a more tolerable direction!
Ed and Jessica Spotted
Ed Westwick was seen out at the Old Homestead Steakhouse last night, where he enjoyed a filet mignon, salad, and a side of Jessica Szohr.
The Gossip Girl couple were all over each other at the steakhouse with absolutely no regard for other patrons' appetites.
We're glad the two of you are happy together, Ed and Jessica, but it sounds like you were showing entirely too much PDA for a crowded restaurant! Keep it on the down low you two. No one wants to see you all over each other well they are trying to eat.
Something’s are meant to stay private. So think next time before you act.
Kim Zolciak: smoking while pregnant
Kim Zolciak from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was pictured while taking a smoke break watching an NFL game a few weeks ago.
This all would not be a big deal... but Kim is three months pregnant.
Timeline: the photo was taken in Atlanta on November 7, outside the Georgia Dome. Two weeks later, Kim and baby daddy Kroy Biermann (who plays for the Atlanta Falcons) announced they were expecting.
Someone people were saying "Maybe Kim did not know she was pregnant" well, think again. Kim told a tabloid this week she denied the pregnancy rumors in October because "I wasn't through my first trimester -- you never know what could happen."
Why is this a big deal that she is smoking while pregnant?
The Colorado Department of Health explains why it is dangerous to smoke while pregnant.
-spontaneous abortions
-fetal brain damage
-problems requiring neonatal intensive care
-infant death from perinatal disorders
-sudden infant death syndrome
-mental retardation
-behavioral problems, violence, and criminality
-cancer-causing agents in infants’ blood: potentially carcinogenic mutations; and -childhood leukemia
... and many more.
Smoking while pregnant is one of the worst things you can do for your baby. I do not understand why Kim would ever risk the life of her child for a "cig."
Kim Zolciak is pregnant
OMG! Kim Zolciak from the Real Housewives of Atlanta is pregnant!
The lucky father of this new baby is 25 year old Kroy Biermann. Kroy is a player for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, the two have been dating since may.
I personally do not believe that this baby was planned considering the baby daddy is a mere 25 years old.
Kim was on Watch What Happens Live last Sunday and host Andy Cohen asked her about the pregnancy rumors. Kim dodged every rumor and said she was only drinking tea to preserve her singing voice. Please.. no tea in the world could ever help Kim's voice.

Just in Time for Black Friday
Looking for a holiday gift for your favorite Gleek? Look no further. Konami has released a singing game based on FOX's popular television program and to the joy of Glee fans everwhere, the Nintendo Wii exclusive Karaoke Revolution GLEE hits most all of the right notes.
Featuring roughly thirty tracks both new and old spread out across ten sets. Now, while that looks like three songs per set it's technically not because the same song will appear on multiple playlists. Each set is named after one of Glee's main cast members and the songs in each person's set features that cast member. A few more songs would have been nice but the game only uses songs from Season One and there are only so many of them to choose from. Also, it doesn't seem like Konami will be supporting the game via DLC music tracks so if thirty tracks isn't enough then you'll have to wait until Season Two's Karaoke Revolution game.
Players will be singing along with the show's cast and be treated to the occasional unreleased scene playing in the background. Konami pretty much pioneered karaoke video games, so it's of little surprise that the game's pitch detection is pretty good and rather consistent. The game varies less than Disney Interactive's Sing It franchise does and has better response than Rock Band. Both of these are good things when belting out "Proud Mary", singing along with "Sweet Caroline" or rapping out the lyrics of "Gold Digger".
Karaoke Revolution GLEE continues Konami's tradition of making appealing music games and while this game is good for karaoke fans, it's great for Gleeks. The game ends up being around $50 depending on the retailer.

Glee: The Substitute
Just in time for flu season and Country Strong, Gwyneth Paltrow guest-starred as carefree substitute teacher Holly Holliday. She covered for Mr. Schuester, who got sick as he was trying to prep the New Directions for sectionals, hallucinating his high school singers were a group of adorable five-year-olds dressed as the mini-mes of their older counterparts ("I'm going to go home... but first I'm going to get you guys a sitter," he told them.)
Morrison Enjoys Gwyneth Paltrow's Appearance
She can stand under his “Umbrella” any day! Matthew Morrison is gushing over his recent “Glee” co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Gwyneth Paltrow is a genius,” Matthew said, at an In Add Minus event in Los Angeles on Thursday. “Who knew that she was such a triple threat? Great dancer, great singer, obviously a great actress — I just had the best time.”
Gwyneth appeared on Glee on Tuesday, November 16, playing fun-loving substitute teacher Holly Holiday. The Oscar-winning actress performed a version of Cee Lo Green’s hit, “Forget You,” then joined Morrison for a splashy mash-up of Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” and “Singin’ in the Rain.”
“Our set is kind of like a playground — especially the ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ number,” Matthew said, of filming the track with Gwyneth on a water-filled stage. “We were just having so much fun like, splashing each other, getting each other wet. It was fun!”
Matthew, 32, who got his start on Broadway, has been making fans swoon since his 2009 “Glee” debut, and his charming appeal was made official this week when he earned a spot on People’s Sexiest Man Alive list.
“I don’t know how to think about it,” Matthew said of his new honor. “People think I’m sexy, I guess… Cool, I guess? I don’t know — it’s a little embarrassing!
“I thank my parents for this,” he laughed.
Kyle Richard's husband v. Taylor Armstrong's husband
The video starts off by showing Taylor Armstrong's husband asking his daughter what she wants to eat because he has never cooked in his life. The bratty little daughter is laying on the floor saying "I don't like you." Taylor's husband then looks in the fridge and picks up something while asking his daughter, "does mommy put these in the microwave or oven?" The daughter answers, "oven." This just shows how delusional this man is, his child even knows that Pillsbury rolls do not go in the microwave. He then gives his daughter some disgusting plate that he considers a meal, it consisted of some form of noodles with a large amount of salt on them and frozen carrots. GROSS.
The next scene goes over to Kyle Richard's house where her husband and the children are playing in the pool. The whole family is outside interacting and cracking jokes with each other. This makes Kyle's husband seem like the number one dad by the way they are all playing together in the pool.
It is just funny how the editors put the two scenes back to back so we can compare and contrast the two completely different dads. Basically, Taylor's husband sucks.
Camille Grammer: Most hated housewife?
After watching the last two episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I have developed a huge dislike for Camille Grammer.
Camille is a 43 years old former model, actress and dancer. She then married Kelsey Grammer in 1997 and had two children with him; she is currently divorced as of July 2010.
Camille's two children are named Mason and Jude, they were both born via a surrogate mother. On an episode a few weeks ago, Camille talks about how she had her children via a surrogate so she did not have to get stretch marks and lose her physique. To me that sounds absolutely absurd. There are people in this world that would love to have children but they cannot, and the only reason Camille did not have children is because she did not want to gain some normal baby weight. She seems very selfish to me. Camille also has four nannies that rotate for her two children. That seems a little outrageous considering she is a STAY AT HOME MOM.
On the Real Housewives of Beverly HIlls, Camille accuses former cast mate, Kyle Richards, of supposedly saying she is nobody without her husband Kelsey Grammer. The two ladies argue for about half of the episode, in the end, it is clear that Kyle never said that at all. All of the other cast mates are sitting at the table while the two fought and were all on Kyle's side.
There is the man named Nick who always seems to be on Camille's Arm. He is this straight, gorgeous man who she is a little too touchy-feely with for being a married woman. The two went to the premiere of Kelsey Grammer's play he was in. Camille leans over to Nick and asks:
"Do I have a little too much cleavage?"
Then nick continues to stare down her shirt for the next ten seconds and says "Not at all," with a wink.
Camille in an interview also explains how she is better than Kyle because Kyle's husband "works" for their family as their real estate agent. She explains how Kyle must be jealous of her and then says, "well looks like we won't be doing business with them anymore." Wow Camille is so stuck up, I can't get over it. I do not like this woman at all.

True Blood Mansion Up For Sale
This mansion is up for sale. If you want a the home has been "hired" out for several movies and TV shows, most notably HBO's "True Blood" vampire series, as well as the wedding scene in the Adam Sandler comedy "Funny People," and the comedy "I Love You, Man," featuring Paul Rudd. Then this is the house for you. But only if you can fork over the astonishing 35 million dollars.
The three-story home contains 12,045 sq ft of space, including 4 bedrooms and 8.5 baths. Other amenities include a screening room, gym, and tennis courts. In addition, there is a guesthouse, two maid’s quarters, loggias, expansive decks, and beautiful landscaping.
In my opinion 35 million dollars for a house is a crazy amount of money. I don’t know if I think this just because I don’t have anywhere close to that amount of money in the bank. But I think it is ridiculous. I would definitely live in this house for the wonderful view of the ocean.

Bill Clinton to Appear in Hangover 2
I'm sure by now the whole world has seen the infamous movie: The Hangover. I honestly don't know a single person that has watched this movie and not liked it. Every person I know that has seen it loves the movie. Personally, I've seen it at least 12 times and it never gets old for me. To be honest, it'll never be as funny as the first time I saw it in the theater, but it is seriously still so funny everytime I watch it. Every time I find out someone hasn't seen it, I make them watch it and they end up loving it just as much as everyone else.
Moving on to the main point of this post...our beloved movie is going to have a sequel!! Not only that, but Bill Clinton is going to have a cameo appearance in it! According to People magazine, former U.S. president Bill Clinton was in the capital city of Thailand over the weekend shooting the brief cameo for the movie. The Hangover 2 is scheduled to hit movie theaters on May 26, 2011. I am sure everyone else is just as excited as I am to see it. As funny as the first one is, I'm sure we might have high standards for it. Nevertheless, I think it'll be funny.
Interestingly, Mel Gibson was also supposed to have a cameo appearance in this movie. As many of you might remember in the first Hangover movie, Mike Tyson surprised us all in his cameo appearance. Well, Mel Gibson was supposed to fill that same role in Hangover 2. However, due to all the drama with him and his wife, they dropped him from the movie. All the allegations about him abusing his wife and all those tapes that have been played all over the news in the recent months definately didn't help him at all. Who better to replace him than another actor who happens to be his friend right? Apparently, Liam Neeson has replaced Mel Gibson in the movie with no hard feelings between them. According to USA Today, Liam was unaware of the fact that he was replacing fellow friend and actor Mel Gibson. Additionally, when he found out, the first thing he did was called up Mel and cleared things up to make sure there were no hard feelings. Sources from Us magazine confirm that Liam told Access Hollywood -
"I spoke to Mel about it...we're all cool."
Here's a video showing cast members from the first Hangover movie talking to Hollyscoop about the sequel and the possibility of another surprise guest star!
In case you didn't watch the video, Sources also say a possibility of Tiger Woods to have a cameo appearance in what might be the most anticipated movie of the year!
Mini Gleeks!?
So today, I was just looking around trying to find a video of last night's episode of Dancing with the Stars when I stumbled upon possibly the cutest thing ever! In tonight's episode of Glee, there is a part where Mr. Schuester is feeling sick and has hallucinations of the glee club members as little kids. And somehow, the producers found mini-me's of every kid in glee! It is kind of crazy how much they look like their adult counterparts.

The Real Housewives of NYC parody
The video makes fun of the season 3 reunion show, and I must say it does an amazing job of capturing the women in the most obnoxious way.
My favorite part is Kelly being made fun of for taking pictures of Alex on the beach. I also liked when they made fun of Ramona for her Pinot Grigio obsession.
Simon Van Kempen's sexual orientation?
Simon Van Kempen is currently married to The Real Housewives of New York star, Alex McCord. Together they have two children named Francois and Johan. I feel sorry for those kids, they will be made fun of at school for ridiculous names like those.
I remember watching Simon on the show for the first time, he was wearing these dull peach colored shorts with bright pink loafers. I thought to myself.. what is this man wearing? Later in the episode, the couple went shopping at some expensive store in the Hamptons. Simon was selecting crazy outfits for his wife to try on and was rating them 1-10. He then tried some crazy clothes on himself. It seemed to me that Simon enjoyed shopping a little too much and he seemed very into himself.
One episode it was fashion week in New York, and Alex is invited to one of the shows.
“Is it a good designer that I’m going to know of?” asks Simon. She replies that it’s Pamella Roland. He responds with an “eww, OMG” face. Later, he says to the camera, “Just because I like clothes doesn’t mean I’m gay.” Simon is right, just because a man is obsessed with clothes does not make him gay but it does make him extremely metro-sexual and extremely questionable.
Simon coming out of the closet and saying he was gay would make for a great season finale.
Glee - Never Been Kissed
In Tuesday's episode of Glee, there was a lot of teenage hormones going on . . . and some adult ones. The show starts off with Finn talking to Sam about each other's girlfriends and what they do when they try to "cool off" during a hot make-out session. Finn explains that he thinks about hitting someone with a car to cool down. Sam then sees Coach Bieste and decides that she would be great for that role.
Teresa Giudice may be dumped by Bravo
Ever since Teresa and her husband have filed for bankruptcy in 2009 she has been asking Bravo for a raise. She is asking for way more money then Bravo is willing to pay her and the shows producers are casting for new housewives.
It is not for sure that Teresa will not be returning for season 3 because she was reported to be at two of the same places that Bravo was filming at.
The Giudices' were reported to have a estate sale and A.J. Wilner auction said it has been postponed indefinitely. The company was hired to sell the estate after it came out that the Giudices' were $10.8 million in debt when they filed for bankruptcy in June.
The couple are depending on Teresa's Salary to help buy back their own belongings. Teresa and her husband can negotiate to the creditors a lower asking price for their belongings if the creditors are willing to accept it.
It was reported on August 15th that Teresa spent over $60,000 on furniture and other items. According to what Teresa told People magazine, she spent the money on an advance for her new book called, "Skinny Italian."
Ultimately, I believe that it is Teresa and her husbands fault that they are in this situation. They are responsible for how they spend their money and have been throwing it away on clothes, furniture, and vacations. Teresa has a serious spending problem and needs to learn how to control her credit card. I am sure Bravo is sick and tired of her many attempts to get an obnoxious raise and I am sure that is why they will not be too sad if it is decided that she leaves the show.

New Harry Potter Movie to Hit Theaters in Less than a Week!!
What other way to welcome the upcoming holiday season than to release the supposed seventh and "last" Harry Potter of the series! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is set to release on Friday, November 19. Interestingly, they are actually dividing this last Harry Potter into two parts. So, part one of the seventh Harry Potter is releasing this friday (November 19), while the second part and final film in the series is set to open in theatres nationwide on July 15, 2011. Who would've thought this children's story turned golden would come to an end so soon right? Personally, it seems like just yesterday when the first Harry Potter came out and everyone was going crazy. The story itself has become such a hit that the whole world fell in love with it. J.K. Rowling's world of craft and wizardry has turned kids of all ages to read her fascinating novels. Honestly, I haven't read a single one, but I can certainly name many people that did. On the contrary, I have seen every one and it's amazing how much worldwide attention has been drawn to what was initially a kid's story.
From past experience, I'm pretty sure this Harry Potter's going to probably set some records. If not, it'll be close. How could it not? I mean tickets are already being sold right this minute...they've been selling in advance because of the expected overflow of Harry Potter fans. According to a source, approximately 900 showtimes around the nation have been sold out already! I can't wait to see the breakthrough it has on this upcoming weekend's box office. The money made from it is expected to burst through the roof. It's unbelievable the kind of money it generates. It has already raked in an unbelievable and shocking $5.4 billion dollars! I'm guessing that's from the book alone too!
What's the plot behind this last Harry Potter? I'm sure many of you are wondering, so I'll give you a brief plot or summary of what's in store. Simply put, this Harry Potter is centering in on Voldermort's growing power. His power has even given him control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. With that said, Harry, Ron and Hermione must take on the mission and embark on a journey to eradicate Lord Voldemort and the missing horcruxes. Sounds like a lot of darkness and action!
If that wasn't enough, here's the trailer!
Hope you enjoyed reading and/or watching!
P.S. - The ending is supposively gonna keep us all "hooked on our seats" with excitement and thrill...and there's only one way to find out - go and watch it and experience what might be a historical box office event!

Lea Michele Guest Appears on Conan's New Show
Monday, November 8, 2010
Morning Glory to Release Tomorrow!!
So what's the story behind this new movie? Well, first of all, the star of the movie happens to be one of my all-time favorite actresses: Rachel McAdams. I mean I LOVE all of her movies. I'm sure all of us are most familiar with her role in the biggest chick flick ever - The Notebook. That's the movie that started it all...the movie that made her. Well, that and The Hot Chick , which also is one of my other favorite movies! Seriously, like how can anyone not like her?? She also played in the one and only - Mean Girls! Then, there's more of her other movies that I love like The Wedding Crashers and The Time Traveler's Wife. I mean let's face it - she's like the queen of chick flicks and romantic comedies.
Okay, well enough about Rachel McAdams...let's talk about the movie. So, you're probably wondering what this movie is about right? Well, the main gist of this story is about Becky Fuller (Rachel McAdams), a determined and hard-working TV producer, who gets fired from a local news program. Furthermore, it shows how hapless her life is - especially her love life. On the contrary, this all changes when a job at "Daybreak" (a morning news show that's ranked in last place) lands on her doorstep. However, this job doesn't come easy. Becky doesn't realize the hardships that comes with this job. She then takes on the challenge of reviving the struggles at Daybreak, even despite the constant fighting and feuding between its high-profile anchors. All in the meantime, Becky is caught up in a love affair and is starting to fall for fellow producer, Adam Bennett (Patrick Wilson). Can she handle the challenges and stresses of a relationship, a job, a reputation, and ultimately the show?? Go to theaters tomorrow to watch and find out!

New Adam Sandler Movie
It's always been part of the conceit of Adam Sandler movies that his boyish charm eventually wins over the young, attractive gal who is way out of his league. Sure, the female lead is initially turned off by his goofball humor or infantile outbursts, but she sees the wounded, good-hearted guy underneath and warms up to him by the end.
But it seems, as Sandler gets older, his romantic partners in movies don't. It's like Matthew McConaughey's line in the movie "Dazed and Confused": "I get older, they stay the same age."
The latest example is in Sandler's next movie, "Just Go With It." In it, he plays a plastic surgeon who goes from one hook-up to the next by claiming that he's married. But when he meets a girl he actually sees a future with, he has to enlist his assistant to pretend to be his wife, and he ends up with a whole fake family.
Sandler's romantic interest is played by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover-girl -- and Mrs. Andy Roddick – Brookly Decker, who makes her movie debut. She's impossibly beautiful, and nearly young enough to be his daughter, but that's what makes it funny. However, the woman he enlists to be his fake wife is played by Jennifer Aniston, a much more age-appropriate (but still ridiculously gorgeous) match for him. Take a look at the exclusive trailer for "Just Go With It," then keep reading to see the age gaps between Sandler and his leading ladies, including the one who was actually older than him.
This movie looks really funny and I want to definitely see it when it comes out! I was laughing during the trailer so I am going to see it. It looks like a good movie and I’m very excited for it to come out!
Penn Badgley and Blake Lively Split!
How could this be?! We really liked these two together, on AND off the show!
We're very sad to report that Gossip Girl actors Penn Badgley and Blake Lively are apparently over their three year relationship, and have called it quits!
The source, who confirms that things ended between the two in mid-September, explains:
"They’re professionals. They're still good friends and hang out on the set. They kept this news to themselves for a while. Nobody on set had any idea. They're really just private."
This one is really bumming us out, because they just always seemed so quietly content together!
But we're glad that they've managed to keep things professional and pleasant for the rest of the upper east siders!
So sad.
Regardless of everything, though, we're sure it must be difficult to have see your ex every day, so hang in there, you two!
Gretchen Rossi: Her choice in men
Lets start with a little background history on the blonde bombshell. Gretchen is 31 years old from La Cresenta, California and attended Baylor University in Dallas, Texas. After college, Gretchen went into the real estate business and then quit to take care of Jeff full-time... and that is where the gossip starts.
Beitzel was Gretchens 54 year old millionaire fiance`who died of leukemia. Gretchen spent one year "nursing" Jeff while he was ill. The timing seems a little ironic for me, when Gretchen met him he was already diagnosed with leukemia and was told he only had a few months to live. That was when Gretchen pounced and preyed on this rich old man.
I remember the first time Gretchen was introduced and I saw her fiance` I thought he was her father or possibly her grandfather. There is not one second that I actually believe that she married this man for love.
After he died, she claimed that Jeff left her no money but it has come out that he actually left Gretchen with $2.5 million. Pure gold-digger right here.
Now we move onto Gretchen's next love interest.. Slade Smiley. Slade is a Bravo television whore, he starred on seasons 1 and 2 on the Real Housewives of OC because he was engaged to Jo De La Rosa. They then ended their dysfunctional relationship in the middle of the second season of the show. Immediately after, Slade had a brief relationship with another Real Housewife on the show named Lauri Waring. Lets just say the man gets around, he has been with three housewives. There have been rumors that Gretchen and Slade dated while she was nursing Jeff. I personally think that Slade is together with Gretchen for the TV time and the money that she received when Jeff died. This man is a reality whore and I am not sure what Gretchen sees in him.
"The Situation's" Family Situation
Friends say that Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's brother, Marc Sorrentino, is totally cashing in on his fame and is now making waves between The Sitch and his manager, Mike Petolino.
Marc has apparently been acting like Mike's manager, making deals for him and scheduling appearances for him while he was away shooting Jersey Shore and Dancing with the Stars, but Petolino of Gotham Entertainment says HE'S the real manager. He states, "As far as management, I'm Mike's manager. Marc is not Mike's manager." Even his lawyer Ray Raya is making sure that people know that "Marc is Mike's brother and one of his closest advisers, but he's doesn't have an official role."
The problem is Marc is heavily involved with Mike's endorsement deals, including a deal with Devotion Vodka, so now people are getting confused. "Nobody knows who the person to deal with is because both are saying, 'I'm the main person for the Situation,'" said an insider.
And not only that, but Marc was accused of holding a woman hostage in a limo a few days ago, which is making things look REALLY bad for Mike. A source says, "The Situation is starting to wake up and be like, 'What's going on?'"
Dude, we understand you have to stay close to family, but if he's making things worse for you, you need to cut those business ties with your bro. It's just not worth it. It seems like “The Situation” needs to deal with this situation really fast so it doesn’t become even more of a mess. If I were Mike, I would explain to my brother that this isn’t his expertise and that they need to leave everything to the professional. This is a very sticky situation but the right thing to do would definitely let Mike, the manager, deal with all of Mike “The Situation’s” business deals.
Taylor Armstrong on last weeks episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
On the November 4th episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills we watched as Taylor Armstrong throw an elaborate party and spending about a total of $60,000.
The episode begins with Taylor planning for her four year old daughter Kennedy's ridiculously outrageous birthday party. Taylor tells the camera a story about her when she was younger getting her first diamond. Taylor proceeds to a high class jewelry store, where she has been buying her jewelry from for years, the owners of the store show Taylor the Barbie collection of diamonds. Taylor selected two necklaces of barbies silhouette, one for herself and a matching one for her daughter. She then purchased 25 sterling silver Barbie necklaces for the party guests. The total cost of the Barbie jewelry was about $6000. Taylor tells us that she was an only child growing up, yes we can definitely see that by the way she spoils her own only child.

Glee Gone Wild?!
Let’s say that you are some talented, good-looking, and adult actresses on one of the hottest shows on television right now. Why not pose for a cover of a men’s magazine…like GQ?
Well it gets a little harder to answer when you are in the show Glee that is loved by preteens. And when you are posing as a high-school girl in you panties and bra with your legs spread open sitting on a locker room bench, or suggestively licking a lollipop in the same outfit leaning on a locker.
People and critics are asking, “Did Glee go too far?”
The cover of the November issue of GQ magazine will feature Lea Michelle (who plays Rachel B
erry), Diana Agron (Quinn Fabray), and Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson). There will also be a spread inside the magazine with some more ‘racy’ pictures shot by Terry Anderson. The controversial GQ magazine saw over 33 million page views after the scandalous Glee photos hit the Internet two weeks ago. To try and get more views, GQ is releasing a behind the scenes video of the photo shoot.
The Parents Television Council goes as far to say, “It borders pedophilia.” Even Katie Couric says she is disappointed with the actors. (But who listens to that woman anyway?) :D
The main worry of critics and parents is that kids that watch Glee will be seeing these photos.
However, I feel as though it is up to the parents to monitor what their children see. If you are so worried about your child seeing these “racy” photos, shouldn’t you be censoring what they see in the first place?
Also, the show has been known to deal with very controversial topics like teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, the loss of virginity, and it even touched on drug usage when Puck laced the bake sale cupcakes with marijuana. So the parents are okay with their children watching these topics being talked about in the show, but they aren’t okay with them seeing somewhat “racy” photos?
The pictures don’t really even show more than what a bikini would. Sure its bras and panties, but I have seen much worse bikinis that show much more than what Diane and Lea are showing in these photos.
This is also a MEN’S magazine! Why would 8-10 year olds even be looking at such a magazine? I remember when I was 8 years old and the only magazines I saw in my household were Good Housekeeping and some computer magazine that my mom and dad read. Now, I am sure that there were other explicit magazines in my house that I had no idea were there because my parents put those inappropriate magazines in a hidden spot where I couldn’t go. Maybe these parents should do the same thing.
Now some people may say that there is the Internet now. If you didn’t know, there is such a thing now called “Parental Control.” It’s a great invention and should probably be used more by these parents that are freaking out over what I think is a good photo shoot.
I just think that this whole photo shoot is being blown out of proportion. My applause goes to GQ for thinking of this idea because they are reaping all of the benefits from what is going on right now. Like I said, they got 33 million page views after a couple of days that the photos hit the Internet. I might even buy the issue to be able to read the full article.

Saw 3D BOOOOOOOOOms!!
Here's a preview of the #1 hit movie this weekend!!
With the addition of the last Saw movie, that will be seven total movies in the Saw series. According to ABC News, Saw 3D debuted on Halloween with $24.2 million dollars! Personally, I haven't seen any of the Saw movies until just a few days ago. Some of my friends made me watch the first Saw and want me to watch the rest, so we can all watch Saw 3D. I think I avoided watching any of the Saw movies before because I thought it was all gorey and that's all it was. On the contrary; however, I thought the first one had a thrilling and twisted plot. I actually thought it was a pretty good movie, and I loved how they purposely made the whole plot so mysterious. I mean you didn't know who the killer was, and they purposely made it the most unexpected person! It was really suspenseful to watch. Not to mention, the story line was pretty clever. I thought so...I mean the killer never really killed anyone - he made certain people (that he thought did bad stuff) play a game where one of them would pretty much have to kill the other or vice versa in order to survive themselves. Ultimately, by doing this, the killer would be teaching them a lesson. I thought it was quite interesting because there's no way you can really justify what the killer was doing, but many of the victims of his "games" did actually learn their lessons. For example, the drugee girl who escaped said she learned her lesson and realized that it was a privelege for her to be alive.
Alright enough about my own personal Saw experience. I have heard many mixed reviews about Saw 3D. However, for the most part, I heard that the 3D makes the movie pretty cool and fun to watch. Some said it made their head hurt, and few even said that the 3D was unnecessary. I also heard many people say it was by far the most gorey Saw movie of all of them, so that's gross. Despite what everyone says though, I think that people should make their own decisions and opinions to see a movie based on what they thought of the previews or trailers or whatever...not by what other people are telling them. I've experienced many instances where someone has told me a movie was bad and I ended up loving it or vice versa. I mean everyone has their own taste in movies and it varies from person to person, so I'm going to see Saw 3D no matter what anyone says!
