Latest News On the Upper East Side

Is Serena van der Woodsen a selfish, manipulative, unrepentant party girl or an indecisive college kid who can't fathom her own sexual power? Or is she simply an empty-headed cipher, a pretty projection of every man's desire and every woman's insecurities? Asking these questions may mean taking Serena more seriously than I'm inclined to, but they have fast become the theme of "Gossip Girl" Season 4.

In the past, we've been led to assume that Serena is merely a victim of fate -- the girl who ended up in the wrong hotel room on the wrong night, who can't stop loving either of the guys who had her heart in high school, who fell for a guy who she didn't even know would end up being her professor. Now, everything is starting to change. Her refusal to choose between Dan and Nate has gone on for so long it's become infuriating. The fact that she pouted her way into Colin's professional life and then dropped him as soon as he quit his job for her? Mystifying.

And, as of this week's episode, we're finally learning the history between Ben and Serena. When Lily meets Juliet and bribes her to leave Serena alone, Juliet reveals something I assume only she, Serena, Lily and Ben know: that Colin wasn't the first teacher Serena's been hot for. Lily pretends not to know what Juliet's talking about, but Juliet presses her: "Boarding school? Serena was a minor." Well, it sure looks like Serena got Colin's estranged cousin locked up for what may or may not have been statutory rape -- and that's likely why she left boarding school and returned to the Upper East Side over three years ago. (Of course, it's hard to imagine that Serena actually forced Ben to get physical with her.)

So, not only did Serena's pre-"Gossip Girl" life include witnessing a drug-related death, but it also featured a torrid affair with a boarding school teacher that her mother went to great lengths to cover up. No wonder Lily has such a hard time trusting Serena!

To be fair, though, all of this happened years ago. Basically, all Serena has done since is flit around in expensive dresses, flaunting her privilege, breaking hearts and stealing other people's boyfriends (namely, Vanessa's). As she reminds Eric at this week's masquerade party -- for which, tellingly, she had trouble deciding whether to dress as a saint or a sinner -- Serena has changed. Can she help it that she's irresistibly beautiful and impossibly wealthy? Surely, if Jenny and Vanessa (who don't have Juliet's demented, single-minded goal of destroying the girl who ruined her brother's life) want to attack one of the insiders, they could find a better target. How about Blair, for instance, who has twice banished Little J from New York and won't let Vanessa forget she's an outsider? Serena doesn't even care about that stuff!

But is she really so above it all? As Jenny notes, the trouble Blair makes often has something to do with getting Serena out of her most recent mess. Maybe people are starting to realize that Serena only looks so carefree and innocent because she has friends who aren't afraid to get their manicured hands dirty.

Whether she deserves it or not, Serena loses just about everything by the end of this week's episode. (Well, everything besides her looks and money.) At the masquerade, in a move Jenny already got away with at a different masquerade a few seasons ago, both Juliet and Jenny wear exactly the costume they spotted Serena wearing on Gossip Girl. Despite the fact that Serena, Jenny and Juliet don't actually look that similar and only part of the girls' faces are covered, the outsiders manage to pummel Serena's reputation. After Juliet-as-Serena smooches both Dan and Nate in full view of a roomful of willing Gossip Girl informants, Jenny-as-Serena pulls back a curtain to reveal Blair and Chuck secretly making out. Meanwhile, Vanessa has passed Nate's mom, Anne Archibald, an application indicating that Serena would like to be considered for a position she knows Blair covets at a powerful charity organization.

By the time the evening is over, Nate and Dan have both dumped Serena. Again. And Blair has decided that Serena is out to steal everything she's ever wanted. Again. And that's all before Juliet takes the plan even further than she let on to Jenny and Vanessa, throwing a woozy Serena into a cab to the middle of nowhere and using the passed-out girl's phone to e-mail a notice of withdrawal to Dean Reuther. At the end of the episode, it certainly looks like Juliet is planning to imprison Serena in her home.

These are all exciting developments, considering that the most wonderful moments on "Gossip Girl" tend to occur when someone comes completely unhinged. But do they tell us anything more than we already knew about whether Serena deserves her suddenly bleak fate? Not really. As far as I'm concerned, we still don't know her much better than we did the first time we spotted her making her way through Grand Central Station in the series premiere. Four seasons in, are we finally going to learn what (if anything) makes Serena van der Woodsen tick? And when we find out, will we even care?

Other scattered thoughts:

-- I continue to be bored with Chuck and Blair. This week, they were on again (as friends with benefits), then off again, then on again (romantically), then off again. At some point, during sex, Chuck said "I love you" to Blair and meant it. But other flimsy obstacles blocked their way to what would have undoubtedly been a mature, mutually respectful relationship, and they went their separate ways. Well, until next week. Yawn.

-- With Jenny and Juliet helming the outsiders' schemes, Vanessa is back to being her boring, morally uncertain self. I'm starting to feel for poor Jessica Szohr, who was great as a surprise mean girl last week but whose character just can't sustain a fun story line.

-- Did everyone notice the surreal moment when "Make Me Wanna Die," the single by Taylor Momsen's band, The Pretty Reckless, played as Jenny pulled the curtain on Chuck and Blair? I'll go on record as saying the song is far better than I ever expected it would be. But the convergence of Raccoon-Eyed Rock Star Taylor Momsen and Raccoon-Eyed Upper East Sider Jenny Humphrey has really gotten out of control.

-- It is high time we addressed the tumultuous bromance between Dan and Nate. Wouldn't we all feel better if the two of them would just start swapping spit already? Serena would be so confused!

Best line of the episode: "As long as I'm with you, I'm Hillary in the White House, and I want to be Hillary, secretary of State -- but with better hair." -- Blair to Chuck

Tangled beats out Harry Potter

LOS ANGELES - Hair has won out over Harry Potter at the weekend box office.

Mandy Moore's animated musical "Tangled," a new take on long-haired fairy-tale princess Rapunzel, sewed up the No. 1 spot with $21.5 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That raised the Disney release's domestic total to $96.5 million.

"Tangled" had debuted in second-place over Thanksgiving behind "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," which had been at the top of the box office the two previous weekends.

"Harry Potter" slipped to No. 2 this weekend with $16.7 million. The next-to-last chapter in the Warner Bros. franchise about the teen wizard lifted its domestic haul to $244.2 million.

Playing largely to family crowds, "Tangled" should hold on well through the holidays, said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney.

"It's not very often the second week of a movie that it ends up the No. 1 movie," Viane said. "This will be one of those leggy movies that just keeps playing and playing."

Business was off sharply after a brisk Thanksgiving weekend, which is one of the busiest periods of the year at movie theaters.

With just $88 million in overall receipts, this was Hollywood's second-worst weekend of the year, behind the meager $81.8 million haul the weekend after Labor Day, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

"It was a bad weekend," said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for Hollywood.com. "It just shows that people got a lot of their movie-going out of the way over that five-day Thanksgiving weekend, and this weekend, they went, `Ahh, we've seen it.'"

Overall revenues also were down from last year. The $88 million in revenue was off 11.5 percent compared to the same weekend in 2009, when "The Blind Side" led the box office with $20 million, according to Hollywood.com.

The weekend's only new wide release, Rogue Pictures' action tale "The Warrior's Way," was a dud with just $3.1 million. Playing in 1,622 theaters, "The Warrior's Way" averaged a weak $1,881 a cinema, compared to $5,967 in 3,603 cinemas for "Tangled."

Starring Kate Bosworth, "The Warrior's Way" is a martial-arts adventure about an assassin hiding out in the Old West.

Natalie Portman's ballet drama "Black Swan" had a huge debut in limited release, taking in $1.4 million in just 18 theaters, for a whopping average of $77,459 a theater.

Released by Fox Searchlight, "Black Swan" stars Portman as a dancer who begins to lose herself in delusion amid the pressures of preparing for the lead in Swan Lake. The film gradually expands into nationwide release through Christmas week.

Also in limited release, Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor's gay romance "I Love You Phillip Morris" opened solidly with $113,200 in six theaters, averaging $18,886.

Carrey stars as a scam artist who finds the love of his life (McGregor) in state prison. The movie gradually expands into wide release through early January.

Kyle Richards is Happily Married

On Reality television, happy/healthy relationships are extremely rare.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and her husband Mauricio Umansky seem to be an exception.

Kyle, who is the sister of Paris Hilton's mother Kathy Hilton, and her real estate mogul husband appear were spotted leaving Boa Steakhouse in Hollywood last night.

Every time I watch this show it is so apparent that Kyle and her husband are in love. They are not like the other couples on the show or on any of the other Real Housewives extensions.

Perhaps they come across so happy is because all of the other Housewives on this show seem completely miserable with their significant others. They are constantly complaining of how there is no love in their relationships. Real Housewife Camille Grammer, she seems the most miserable with her celeb husband named Kelsey Grammer. She goes months and months without seeing him and when they do see each other he will ask Camille to leave him alone. They are currently divorced, that just goes to show you how in love they were. On last weeks episode, fellow cast mate Taylor Armstrong goes to Kyle for relationship advice and how her and her husband can be happy again.

I feel that Kyle and her husband are so happy is because they are actually physically attracted to each other, this is unlike most of the other Housewives since they marry for money and their husbands are old and unattractive. Kyle married for love unlike the other gold digging wives.

Special Education: Episode Recap Part 2

Before Sectionals begins, my favorite part happens. Kurt and Rachel have a little heart-to-heart moment. They talk about how Kurt didn’t get the solo and the differences between the Warblers and New Directions. Kurt asks about Finn and Rachel tells him about the whole Santana thing and she finds out that she was the only one who didn’t know about it.

Then Sectionals start. They first to go on is the Hipsters, which are a bunch of elderly people trying to get their GED. They sing “The Living Years” and they end up being pretty good. The older ladies have some soul!

Then the Warblers perform. They sing “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train. The arrangement of the song was really fun and Blaine had the solo, which was really the entire time. While watching them, you can tell that Kurt is new and sticks out a bit since the new club is so different from what he is used to. While they perform they shoot to Schuester, who has a really strange facial expression. It looks as though he might have seen a ghost or his parents having sex. I just really didn’t get it and kind of laughed it off.

After yet another dramatic scene with the glee clubbers in the green room, New Directions is getting ready to perform. Behind stage, Artie confronts Brittany about cheating. She is confused because she didn’t really cheat on him. She was only avoiding him because she had lost the “magic comb” and was scared at what he would do. He tells her that it wasn’t real and that it didn’t have magical powers.

Then the show starts. Sam and Quinn start it off and come through the back of the auditorium…since that’s what they always do at competitions. They sing “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from the movie Dirty Dancing. The group does some really good dancing. Then Santana gets to sing a song by herself called “Valerie” which is where Brittany and Mike are featured. They end up getting a standing ovation.

The results come in and the Warblers and New Directions tie for first. So both groups are going to Regionals!

When Schuester goes to show Emma the first place trophy, she shows him something else too. She shows him a ring, which he thinks is an engagement ring. But it is actually a wedding ring. Her and Carl went to Vegas over the weekend and got married.

Then Rachel and Finn make up…for about 3 minutes. She admits that she made out with Puck when they were fighting. Finn gets mad and can’t believe that she did it. He ends up breaking up with her as they make a scene in the hallway.

They end the episode with Mercedes and Tina singing Florence + The Machine’s “Dog Days are Over.” Which I thought was actually really good. I wasn't a fan of the original song, but listening to their arrangement made me want to listen to the original again. It turns out that I actually really do like the song. I'm happy that the show gave me a new appreciation of it.

Special Education: Episode Recap Part 1

Can you say drama? This week’s episode was full of drama. Right from the beginning clip, things in the glee club aren’t going so well.

While Schuester is talking to Emma about what he plans to do this year for Sectionals, she cuts in and says, “No, let me guess. Finn and Rachel are going to do a ballad, right? Followed by the kids joining in with a classic rock number where Mercedes will belt out the last jaw-dropping note.” She continues talking about how the glee club is full of talent.

Schu decides that he is going to finally change things up and go with what he has been trying to do since the beginning. He announces that he is going to feature Brittany and Mike Cheng’s dance moves and Quinn and Sam are going to do a duet. Rachel is clearly upset with the decision.

When Rachel and Santana start to go at, arguing about Sectionals, Santana spills the beans that her and Finn had sex last school year (which Finn lied to Rachel about during the “Furt” episode). In a counseling session with Emma, Finn admits that she lied. Rachel ends up storming out of the session after Finn says some pretty stupid things.

Meanwhile at Dalton Academy, Kurt is “inducted” into the Warblers, which is Dalton Academy’s glee club. He is given an actual Warbler bird and is to take care of it as part of his initiation. They begin talking about their set list for Sectionals and Kurt, as always, has an idea up his sleeve. But when he tells the council his idea, they shut him down because they really have all the say in song selection. You can see that Kurt is hurt, but he seems to be okay with it. They notice that Kurt is a good player about his idea being shot down, so they offer him to audition for a solo at Sectionals.

Back at McKinley, Artie finds Brittany hiding in a corner. She is nervous about being featured at Sectionals, so Artie gives her a “magic comb” that is supposed to make you win if you come your hair with it. Being as intelligent as she is, Brittany believes in the comb and is ready to conquer high school show choir!

With bad energy still going on in the glee club, Schuester ends up getting really upset after seeing Rachel walk in with her mouth duct taped shut. He tells the club that they should be happy since they are in a club with so much talent and they should stop focusing on themselves. He says that they are going to be good sports about Sectionals and be happy, no matter the outcome.

Later, Puck realizes that Rachel is in a bad mood and offers to help her out. She takes his help and they walk together down the hallway with Rachel practically feeling up Puck’s arm. You can tell that something may happen between them.

The next day, Tina walks up to Artie in the hall and tells him that Brittany and Mike are having a little affair while getting the dance moves for Sectionals. At first Artie doesn’t buy it and starts to be worried. Artie runs into Brittany later, and she blows him off because she has to rehearse. He seems really worried now about it.

Then while Rachel is sulking in her favorite place to sulk, the auditorium, Kurt asks for her help with his solo audition. She tells him to sing “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina.” Even though his singing wonderful, Kurt doesn’t get the solo because the Warblers aren’t used to such theatricality. They are more about the team and less about individuals, which Kurt isn’t used to at all.

*Part 2 will come Friday!*

Thanksgiving Weekend Movie Showdown

First and foremost, Thanksgiving weekend is a big deal in the movie business. According to a source,

"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.)

The episode was more about compromise within than pitting the New Directions against an outside enemy (save for the always-present Sue Sylvester, who was escalated to an interim principal post that found her worshipping — who else? — President Nixon). Kurt continued to hang out with his new role model, Blaine, Mercedes staged a protest against Sue's "potater-tot" ban and Mr. Schuester engaged in some ex-sex with Terri. But the main matter at hand was whether the glee club should focus on the old (Mr. Schuester: "Come on, guys, there's got to be a Journey song we haven't done yet!") or the new (Miss Holliday: "Top 40, sweet cheeks!").

This week's episode was a little harsh on Mr. Schuester — while he's steered the New Directions to excellent moments in the past, "Make 'Em Laugh" and "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" fell short of the takes on contemporary tunes. After last week's plot-heavy episode, this felt more filler — save for Gwyneth Paltrow's successful guest star stint. Next week: The New Directions take on Bruno Mars when it's wedding time — and Carol Burnett guest stars as Sue's mom.

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

I watched this video and was quite amused at the humorous editing by the producers. These two scenes take place while the women of the Real Housewives of Beverly HIlls are in Vegas, the two husbands are left alone with the children.

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.

My favorite part is when Heather Morris (Brittany) is explaining how the girl that plays Amber couldn't say her lines right because she was so nervous. It was so adorable. I also love when the little Puck kisses his 'biceps' and says "These guns are fully loaded." Another thing that I thought was actually pretty funny was when the little Brittany asks what the WMHS means on her cheerleading uniform. It seemed like something that the actually Brittany would ask during the show.

I guess I really just liked everything about this precious little sneak peak into tonight's episode. I can't wait to see the entire episode.
